State fines assisted living center
The state has fined an assisted living center in Spirit Lake, saying it presents an "imminent danger" to residents.
The Des Moines Register reports that Keelson Harbour Assisted Living has been fined $3,000. The state says the center has not adequately trained workers, used nonmedical staffers to inject diabetic residents and borrowed medical supplies from residents to meet other residents' needs. The center has 68 residents.
Keelson Harbour is owned by Vista Prairie Communities in Minnesota. Patrick Rafferty is a Vista Prairie executive, and he says the Iowa inspectors' findings are being reviewed. He says a decision has not been made yet on whether Vista Prairie will appeal the fine.
Rafferty says that "if there are issues, they will be corrected."
The center's executive director declined to comment.

Things I never thought I'd yell
20 comments :
- Sharon Axline said...
Stop butt checking your brother!
Is my favorite. Followed by -
Wait! I have to take my shoes off first!
- said to two shoe fetish lhasas that love to lick the insides of my crocs and sneakers.
- May 13, 2011 at 10:41 AM
- Steph Schmidt said...
Don't lick all the hair off your butt!
My poor greyhound finally has hair growing on her bald butt. I feel for her because it's gotta be itchy but it'd be nice not to explain to strangers why she has hair everywhere but there.
- May 13, 2011 at 10:49 AM
- Sierra said...
Well, you used a couple of mine in the post, so I'm not sure what else to put here. ;)
Oh, wait. Here's one.
"Dude! I'm on the toilet!"
- May 13, 2011 at 11:08 AM
- Judy,Judy,Judy. said...
"Wait a minute, I have to get out of this chair."
We still have the electric recliner we bought for my dad and it is very slow going up and down.
Makes me sound geriatric. Which I'm not. Yet.
- May 13, 2011 at 11:12 AM
- Taymalin said...
Stop humping my leg.
Don't chew my elastics.
Get your head out of my glass.
Don't bite his nipple!
Stop kneading my boobs.
A penis is not a toy! (I guess that one's dependent on your point of view, but I didn't think my then bf would have appreciated the cat's idea of what one does with a toy)

I believe I once shouted to my young sons, "Who walked on my walls?"
There were footprints on the walls. I do not understand this though I suspect a Spiderman movie was somehow involved.
As for pets, I have only fish. I did open the tank once and yell, "Spit him out right now!" and only then saw the window was wide open. A woman out walking her dog was doubled over laughing.
- May 13, 2011 at 11:29 AM
- Christina Auret said...
I don't have kids or pets, but I used some very inappropriate/unprofessional language at work today.
The jury-rigged solution we had used to solve a problem previously (that had worked due to luck, sweat and chewing gum) had not been repeatable even though the problem was.
Much swearing happened. I got away with it because I was basically saying what everyone was thinking.
- May 13, 2011 at 11:47 AM
- M.J. Fifield said...
Dogsitting for my brother and sister in law's two dogs elicited the following line from me:
"Stop humping your sister!"

Ha! I remember once pouring diet coke into a glass and the soda immediately foamed over the side. My husband starting screaming "Suck it, suck it, suck it!" By which he meant the foam, of course. We lived in an LA apartment at the time, which meant our windows were wide open and the neighboring building something like a foot away. I definitely got eyed the next day.
- May 13, 2011 at 12:10 PM
- Sarah W said...
"Don't eat that rock!"
"Play-do isn't people food."
"If you don't knock it off, I'm going to tie you in a knot and sell you to the gypsies."
The ritual reply to that last one is, "Gypsies? Oh, boy! How much will you get for me, Mom?"
Takes a smartass to raise a smartass . . .
True story:
So, I'm working at the smallest (one room) branch of our library, which is next to a huge, fecund oak tree that likes to scatter its acorns everywhere, much to the delight of our smallest patrons, who like to gather them and do whatever it is small children do with acorns.
A boy comes in, accompanied by his mother, and heads for the restroom at the end of the check out desk. You could hear the sound of the faucet going full blast in the sink. After a while, his mother knocks on the door and says, "C'mon, honey, people are waiting."
And he yells back at the top of his lungs, "Just a second, Mom! I'm washing my nuts!!"
Imagine, if you will, the sound of fifteen people strangling themselves trying not to laugh and cause this poor woman more embarrassment. We were all lucky she started laughing first.
- May 13, 2011 at 12:28 PM
- Kendra said...
@Meredith - that is hilarious! My neighbors hear me in the back yard a few times a day saying, "Go pee-pee. Go pee-pee! PEE-PEE!" Followed by "Let's go get a pee-pee treat!" And sometimes I even sing the pee-pee treat song, which is to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree." We have a high fence.

I am cracking up out loud while I am reading these.
My 5 yr old son wants to know what is so funny.
I say, nothing.
He says, are you reading the word butt?
I say, not everything about butts is funny.
He says, yes it is.
Thanks for the extra laughs today!

Do NOT lick your peepee on the couch.
That would be our fave with almost-year-old puppy. (No I'm not warning my husband about couch behavior, nor is he that flexible0

- Kadi Easley said...
I used to snap, "Don't eat with your mouth full!"
I could never seem to say talk when I snapped at them for talking with food in their mouths. Ig worked about as well, when you yell don't eat with your mouth full the person eating usually stops talking at chewing, you just have to hope they don't choke when they start laughing.
- May 13, 2011 at 6:52 PM
- Kadi Easley said...
Wow and I need to spell check before I post. Sorry bout that.
I have a puppy named Rocco. When he first came to live with us I called him Rock A Doodle because my kids used to love that stupid movie. Now I go out in the back yard and yell Rock a Doodle Doo when I'm trying to get him to come in. Wonder what the neighbors think about that?

To my daughter, almost daily: "We don't LICK people!"

I can't think of anything that crazy I've yelled. But I did once say to my neighbour (talking about the roof-cicles we have in winter) "Once in a while you have ot go outside and beat it off."

- Emilia_Quill said...
Nearly fell of my chair while reading these!
I empathize with my characters easily and often act out what they're doing. Loudly sometimes.
I have an 8 year old coton de tulear dog. Sometimes in the morning she wakes me up in peculiar ways.
"Get off my face!"
and "Don't do the ass-dance on the sofa!"
- May 15, 2011 at 11:48 AM

BF just shouted at the dog "Stop licking the sofa!"

To the dogs:
Put your penis away!
The football is an inside toy.
Don't eat that vomit!

Improve your Gran Turismo 5 loading times—if not your lap times—by ripping out that stock hard drive in your PlayStation 3 and swapping in a solid state drive. You could cut your wait to race in half.
Gran Turismo 5 owners looking to optimize the PlayStation 3 game by using SSD storage instead of the standard 2.5" hard drives are finding that tracks that normally take 50 seconds or more to load take about half that with a new drive. The hefty initial install of GT5, which can run upwards of 40 minutes, can be done in about 25 minutes when using solid state storage.
Worth the extra cash? It all depends on your patience versus your personal wealth, but if you're dropping the money on a dedicated Gran Turismo 5 steering wheel, what's another couple hundred on a new drive?
Eurogamer has some of the numbers, collected from the Beyond3D and GTPlanet forums, which you can see at the Digital Foundry site.
Anyone out there in Kotaku-land already enjoying the read-write speeds of an SSD on their PS3? If so, how are you liking it?
SSD halves GT5 loading times [Eurogamer]

Welcome to the The Word Travels, the hub for literary trails and adventures. Here you'll find information and inspiration for stimulating journeys within and beyond the book.
Going where the plot takes us: Fiction can provide a map to fascinating places to explore in city or country, literary trails often taking you to places you would not otherwise visit or discover.
Books can also offer a 'way in' to greater appreciation of the people and places you visit – as well as a greater understanding of the author and the book itself.
'Walking' great books, experiencing them through the feet, opens up new perspectives and fresh understanding of the work – and sharpens our senses to the world around us. For example, walk the moors on a windy day and you'll experience, better than any dictionary definition, the meaning of 'wuthering'.
'Literature always seems richer when you visit the place that inspired it.' John Sutherland
Patti Smith speaking in an interview with the BBC about her 'pilgrimage' to Haworth, before her special benefit performance of an evening of words and music at the Bronte Parsonage:
'I find proximity very moving ... walking on the floorboards where Charlotte walked ... [to] be in the room and the atmosphere where so much happened.'
Listen to the interview here.

Right here! Explore this website and whatever your literary passion, you will find inspiration and expert advice for planning and making your literary journey:
Walk the landscapes that inspired Hardy in Dorset; pursue the shade of Kafka in Prague; visit the haunts of the lost generation in Paris; eat a Madeleine in Combray; explore the London of Dickens and Shakespeare; swim the Hellespont, that ancient dividing line between east and west….
For ideas and inspiration for literary travel, browse our growing resource of literary trails, including:
Yorkshire, the Brontes, and more, literary walks exploring the Yorkshire moorlands and other locations that inspired the Bronte sisters, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Bram Stoker, Elizabeth Gaskell, Laurence Sterne and many others.
Lorca and Granada, a guide to the exciting and sensual city of Granada and the surrounding villages that inspired Lorca, Washington Irving, Gerald Brenan and the composer Manuel de Falla.

Our cultural picture of a sustainable farm includes a mix of animals and crops, with hayfields and pasture and, often, intensively managed vegetables. However, if regulators continue down their current path, this won't be an option for farmers for much longer.
This document is MOFGA's attempt to summarize the current situation surrounding "Good Agricultural Practices" and related issues, and some principles that need to be considered as we move forward. Because the situation changes rapidly, we will try to update this document regularly.
In their efforts to keep bacteria out of the food supply, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and various other agencies, large food processors, and food buyers are on the verge of creating a system that would essentially prevent farmers from raising both livestock and crops for human consumption on the same farm, or in the same neighborhood.
In the fall of 2006 several deaths and many illnesses were traced to California spinach contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7. E. coli 0157:H7 is primarily associated with beef cows that are raised on grain instead of grass and grown in feedlots. It can also be transported, through direct contact or water or other mechanisms, and can show up on crops. In last year's outbreak, the spinach was grown on a farm that was in transition to organic production, on land leased from a ranch that also had a beef feedlot several miles away. The irrigation water used on the spinach had the bacteria, manure from the feedlot had the bacteria, and so did wild pigs moving among the fields.
And what is the solution, according to FDA and USDA? It's not to eliminate the bacteria from the system, because that would mean challenging the notion of feedlots and grain-fed beef. Instead, their idea is to isolate vegetable production from livestock production to eliminate cross-contamination.
Good Agricultural Practices
USDA's effort to deal with these issues is called "Good Agricultural Practices," or GAP. Under the current approach, in conjunction with FDA, every food processing plant will have an approved Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP, commonly pronounced "hass-up") plan. For example, the McCain's french fry plant in Easton will have a HACCP plan that includes handling practices, how the potatoes are handled all the way from the door to the package, and how temperatures are monitored and maintained all the way to the customer. Any point where product quality is at risk becomes a "critical control point." Most large processing facilities have had versions of HACCP plans in place for the past decade.
What's changing now is a push down the supply chain to the farmers who supply processing plants. Essentially, processors are requiring their farmer-suppliers to become certified on food safety practices. These are, under the current language, "Good Agricultural Practices." This year, all the farmers who supply McCain's have to be GAP-certified.
The first section of GAP certification is just common sense. People who work on farms need to follow basic standards of cleanliness, such as washing their hands before going into a field to harvest produce and after using the bathroom. These are practices that should be used in every place that handles food. The difference is that farmers will have to post signs, provide a training program for their employees, and maintain a paper trail to document that they have done all these things.
The issues become more complex in the next section, the farm assessment. To be GAP-certified, you have to score at least 80% in each area of the program. The farming practices section will be very challenging for many farms that either include both livestock and crops for human consumption, or bring manure or manure-based compost onto the farm. Some requirements, such as documenting that wild or domestic animals can't get into the production area, are nearly impossible to comply with.
The critical questions revolve around livestock. By the USDA standard, the presence of livestock near (within 2 miles) or adjacent to (within a half mile) the farm is a major problem, and may result in a 15-point deduction. Manure management on the farm with livestock is also subject to review. Notice—all of these issues are neutral about which farm has the livestock. If your neighbor, 2 miles away, had animals and a minimally managed manure pile, your farm score would be affected. Or, if you had animals in fields that were completely segregated from your crop production rotation, you would get a deduction.
GAP requires 120 day waiting periods between manure application and crop harvest. It regulates compost much more tightly, and assesses water quality as well.
A rational assessment process would consider each of these issues and evaluate which practices are potentially risky. Under the current yes-no scoring system, it will be very difficult for farms that include both crops and livestock to pass a review. The farming practices section totals 165 points. To pass, the farmer must have at least 132 points.
Here's an example of how this system plays out:
The guidelines have only one question about pesticide use, asking whether applicators are properly licensed. There are no questions about the amount, type, or frequency of pesticide or synthetic fertilizer applications. The FDA and USDA's alleged "Good Agricultural Practices" are completely focused on microbial contamination to the exclusion of any other potential food safety issue, or any practice that might be considered improper or excessive.
Currently USDA is proposing that its Food Safety and Inspection Service be responsible for farm inspections. This is the unit that grades potatoes, apples, and vegetables for uniformity and cosmetic standards. USDA charges farmers $75 per hour for the inspections, and expects to visit the farm at several points during the year to see the farms at all stages of the production cycle.
The Complexity of These Changes
Why should farmers be concerned? Isn't this certification program optional?
Yes, the program is optional, but only if you are not supplying major markets. The USDA has decided that all suppliers of the national school lunch program will have to meet HACCP standards, and that all the farmers who supply inputs for processed foods will have to meet GAP. The Department of Defense, which is the largest institutional buyer of produce in the country and the produce supplier for the school lunch program in many states, is also requiring farms to meet GAP.
Other buyers are requiring similar certification procedures. In addition, produce growers in California are enacting standards through a marketing agreement that may be even stricter than the Good Agricultural Practices strategy being used by USDA.
Some commodities have already moved forward with other parallel certification programs, such as European Good Agricultural Practices (EuroGAP), independently of USDA. The GAP program is still in its early stages. Only 122 farms in 18 states are currently certified for GAP in their farm operations, and one California-based company operates 20 of those. Farmers who have been certified under other protocols, such as the New England Good Agricultural Practices, established between 2000 and 2004, may have to change to reflect new, more restrictive standards.
Farmers as Processors
One side issue that may become more important is the question of when, by FDA standards, a farm becomes a processor, and therefore has to have a HACCP plan that covers all its processing activities. The latest FDA guidelines, issued March 12, 2007, suggest that any activity that involves cutting of leafy greens is included within their "Final Guidance For Safe Production of Fresh-Cut Fruits And Vegetables." This means any business preparing fresh-cut greens for market would be subject to FDA oversight. The FDA estimates that only 250 businesses nationwide would be subject to the regulations. MOFGA believes that at least that many farms in Maine are harvesting leafy greens and supplying them to consumers, and that most of those farms would be subject to a strict interpretation of the Guidelines.
MOFGA's Position
MOFGA and its farmers support appropriate food safety guidelines and practices. However, the process of establishing these guidelines and turning them into standards that must be met to enter certain markets has been a purely technical one, and has not included organic or diversified farms as part of the discussion.
Neither the FDA nor the USDA uses these guidelines or the certification process to address root causes of this specific E. coli problem. The bacteria E. coli 0157:H7 is most often traced to contamination from manure produced in large feedlots. Additionally, the program asks only whether farmers have a license to spray pesticides, not about what kinds of pesticides farmers are spraying or how often.
If we're going to have a food safety certification program, we should have one that addresses all aspects of the problem, not just one.
At its April 2007 meeting, the MOFGA Board of Directors voted unanimously to oppose any version of USDA's Good Agricultural Practices Guidelines that does not integrate crop and livestock agriculture or maintain the viability of small farms within the agricultural system.
Next Steps
The Maine Department of Agriculture plans to use its Quality Assurance staff to inspect farmers for compliance with the current USDA GAP standards. University of Maine Cooperative Extension is working with potato farmers who supply McCain's to help them prepare for GAP inspections this summer.
MOFGA intends to work actively with its farmer members to be sure they are both aware of the standards and able to meet appropriate food safety practices. MOFGA will send a series of updates on these issues to all of its constituents and will communicate with government agencies at all levels about our concerns with current interpretations of both the guidelines and what constitute "Good Agricultural Practices."
At the national level, organic farmers need to be aware of this issue and engage in the discussions about what constitute "Good Agriculture Practices."

text: coasterdude28 0 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi everyone! It's that wonderful time of year again where all of the haunt attractions start to open up I have been hired as a scare actor at a fairly large event near me. I have done haunted house acting at amateur haunts previously, but this will be my first time in a professional production. I'm looking for your wisdom on what makes an excellent scare. I have my own ideas of course, but I feel like you all can give me some great input. Of course any general advice would be awesome, but I'll give you some specifics about my role. I am in one of the outdoor trails and am the very first scene guests will get to. The premise is that we were a settlement of drifters/miners in the late 1920s. Not knowing we were out in the woods, people used the area as a toxic wasteland, killing and deforming us. You can read the official synopsis on the website below. Also, has anyone been to Corner of Chaos? I'd love to hear some reviews as I never attended in previous years. The Barnyard maze won "Maze of the Year" by FrightTour last year, so I'm really excited to be a part of the operation this year. http://cornerofchaos.com/attractions/ Thanks for you help and have a great Halloween season everyone!

Well this one took us almost completely not by surprise! Sega's countdown clock has ended, revealing a trailer for Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll for the Nintendo Wii.
Sega didn't exactly cover their tracks well, what with the trademark application and the words "Super Monkey Ball" listed in the code for the mysterious countdown clock website. Soon after we posted news of the countdown clock the tags seemed to change to other random Sega properties, but the damage was done, and here we are. Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll is a Wii Balance Board-enabled version of Super Monkey Ball, due out in early 2010.
All relentlessly teasing Sega aside, I do love me some Super Monkey Ball. Could this be the title that finally sees me ponying up the cash for a Balance Board?

This morning we pointed out this video from Germany's RTL Television which seemed to delight in mocking the "computer freaks" that attended last week's Gamescom in Cologne. Today the show is apologizing for their bad judgement in airing it.
In a very short stand up, one of the news announcers had this to say today, according to a reader, tipster and translator:
"And now it is time for a correction of our own account. Maybe you've seen our report about the Gamescom last week. In this report we generealised and exaggerated and if we hurt any feelings we're awfully sorry."
Maybe next year they'll put more effort into covering a blossoming culture and less into mocking it.
Thanks Chris!

Tuck into delicious vegetarian Mediterranean cuisine at Original Sin at Chip Bee Gardens—choose from a wide range of salads, traditional Middle Eastern Mezze sharing platters and all the falafel you can eat.
Then, make your way to Sunday Folks (brought to you by the folks behind local favourite ice cream and sorbet chain Creamier) to satisfy your sweet tooth. We're talking handcrafted soft-serve ice cream creations that are truly Instagram-worthy, in an array of flavours such as roasted pistachio, Madagascan vanilla, and good old dark chocolate.
Tiong Bahru
Another of Singapore's charming, tucked-away neighbourhoods is Tiong Bahru, which has become the go-to hangout spot for young, hip locals.
Hit up Tiong Bahru Bakery for baked goods that are a fusion of French and local food, influenced by the neighbourhood and its heritage. Here, you can get anything from pandan flan (the classic egg tart with pandan filling instead of custard) to squid ink sandwiches.
Bukit Timah
Located near Botanic Gardens MRT station, Atlas Coffee House has become a beacon for pancake-lovers, with their signature pancakes that are highly lauded by local food critics. There are savoury delights on the menu too, such as cereal prawn pasta and summer chicken stew.
For true Singaporean comfort food, head to My Cosy Corner at Coronation Plaza. Tuck into their classic local dishes such as kueh pie tee (a Peranakan snack of deep fried pastry cups filled with shredded turnip and prawn) and their famous and vegetarian-friendly popiah (spring rolls), which they've been serving since 1998.
Or, head to Adam Road Food Centre for delicious Halal local fare. Try rojak (spicy Indian salad) from Adam's Indian Rojak, mutton broth with chunks of tender meat and rich soup at Bahrakath Mutton Soup King, or tuck into hearty nasi lemak (fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, accompanied with an array of side dishes like omelette, fried fish and anchovies) from one of the many nasi lemak stalls there.
Buona Vista
Swing by urban food hall Timbre+ at night and be greeted with live music, bustling crowds and casual specialty food. Gourmet highlights at this gastropark include fishball noodles by local hawkerpreneur Douglas Ng (the brain behind The Fishball Story), Japanese cuisine at The World Is Flat by Tanuki Raw, and local chef Chung Deming's Kush, which serves up skewer bowls and wagyu ribeye.
Known for its delicious, Halal-certified chicken rice, Evertop Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice has a handful of outlets islandwide, making it one of the more well-known chicken rice eateries in the city. Head to the one at Clementi Avenue 2 for an authentic taste of Singaporean fare within the heartlands.
Boon Lay
Another favourite of residents in the West, Muslim-owned Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak serves up highly-sought after, fragrant coconut rice, with crispy deep-fried chicken wings, delectably spicy otah (grilled fish paste), sambal chilli and other toppings—bring a big appetite for this one.

5 Things We Love at the New Local Mission Market, San Francisco
You've heard the advice: shop the perimeter of the grocery store to avoid heavily processed food—to buy more real food. But what if a grocery store didn't have any factory-made crackers or cookies with tons of unfamiliar ingredients? What if there wasn't an aisle of Gatorade and packaged microwave popcorn, and there wasn't a stack of canned soup or boxed mac and powdered cheese? What if a store was just perimeter: local produce, humanely raised meat, and foods made from scratch in the kitchen?
It's an experiment come to life in Local Mission Market, my new neighborhood grocery store, recently opened by Yaron Milgrom and Jake Des Voignes, the team behind Local Mission Eatery and Local's Corner in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood.
While dedicated to selling ingredients that almost exclusively come from within a 90-mile radius (the exceptions are coffee, tea, spices, and chocolate that are brought into the Bay Area by local businesses), the store isn't just for those prepared to cook dried heirloom beans from scratch. In addition to selling yogurt, bacon, pasta, barbecue sauce, and sauerkraut made in-house, the market's sizable kitchen is focused on making items that will make getting dinner on the table easier. That includes shortcuts like sofrito, garlic confit, caramelized onions, salad dressings, and a whole range of stocks and broths, including duck stock and fish fumet, as well as prepared soups and hot items for every meal. Cassoulet to go? I'll be taking them up on that one.
I stopped by to check the place out and ended up buying a basket full of goodies—mostly prepared foods that work well for a picnic or cocktail party (or a no-fuss—but totally gourmet—picnicky dinner.) These five items are my favorites so far.
Trout Salad ($18.50/lb)
Made with rosy hot-smoked McFarland Springs Trout, this fish salad is just mildly smoky, not at all fishy, and mostly just bright and super fresh tasting. I started out eating it on crackers, but ended up just gobbling spoonfuls until it was gone. Chef Jake Des Voignes told me that family fishing expeditions when he was growing up started with a smoked fish sandwich filled with a smoked salmon salad that was a bit like this mixture—sure beats canned tuna. My future dinner plans involve dumping a whole container of this stuff onto a salad of little gem lettuce.
Smoked Miyagi Oysters ($15/lb)
These obsession-worthy oysters were smoked in the shell for a more delicate smoky flavor, leaving them sweet and briny and tender, not smoked into rubbery oblivion. This is a great item to round out your party-snack plate; serve these on crackers, perhaps with a drizzle of vinegar. (I bet they'd also be awesome mixed into scrambled eggs.) The market was also selling $10 jars of trout caviar, which might be nice in the mix.
Persimmon Jam ($7)
I love persimmons, but rarely have the patience to cook with them. This jam, though, I'll be going through speedily. It's a bit like a persimmon apple butter, cooked with brown sugar, lemon, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It's spicy and rich, and especially awesome layered on toast with Local Mission's buttery housemade ricotta. It would be good stirred into oatmeal, too.
Fennel Pasta ($6)
They're making both fresh and dried pasta—these green creste de galle in the refrigerator caught my eye and only take two minutes to cook. They're made with an egg-based semolina and 00 flour dough, and flavored with fennel for a subtle earthy note. Serve 'em with crumbled sausage or fresh herbs and vegetables.
Chicken Liver Paté ($15/lb)
The butcher area is full of little treasures: I was pumped to see guanciale hanging, and the sausages look killer. I wasn't wild about the mild country paté I tried, but the the chicken liver paté is dreamily smooth and delicious, a silky-rich topping for the crisp-crusted baguettes or the bakery's other loaves. It's made with Marin Sun Farms chicken livers, shallots, garlic, and thyme, plus a touch of brown sugar, then deglazed with red wine and mounted with cream and butter. It's luxurious stuff, perfect for purchasing in small portions and adding to a cheese and olive plate.

Originally, the Emporium was going to be a two-story building with a large shopping area downstairs and a suite of rooms for Walt Disney's family upstairs. Other projects kept getting in the way of completing the second story, and after Walt Disney passed away the upstairs apartments were abandoned and the second story's floor removed to increase the Emporium's air circulation. Several of the rooms had been nearly completed by this point, and portions of them were left intact during the remodeling. They can be seen overhead by Emporium visitors, each decorated as a different scene from typical turn-of-the-century America.
One of the most striking scenes — the dental or "Sweeney Todd" scene — depicts a nicely dressed dentist in his "modern" office approaching a fear-stricken youth with some kind of medieval-torture-device-looking dental implement. This was not an uncommon sight back in those days because pain killers and anesthesia were rare and dentists who wanted to numb their patients generally had to resort to bludgeoning.
At one time Disneyland guests could actually reserve this area for real dental appointments, but the practice was discontinued because the ladder used to reach the "dentist office" was not ADA compliant, and the dentist — although using authentic techniques and operating with historical accuracy — was found to be working under an assumed name with a forged medical degree and a propensity for giggling at the sight of blood.
An interesting bit of trivia: the scenes in the Emporium generate no revenue and are significantly expensive to keep in repair. The maintenance cost came to be known in the industry as "overhead" because the scenes were, in fact, "over everyone's head." In addition, although the items in the scenes are not new, they are all for sale. When a guest purchases one of them, a cast member must climb a latter, retrieve the item, and hand it down to another cast member on the sales floor. This is why used items given to someone are often called "hand me downs."

Fast Food: Dunkin' Donuts Southwest Breakfast Burritos
Good morning, Serious Eaters! Are you sick of tacos yet? I'm sick of tacos. I like eating them but I'm tired of having them shoved down my throat. These days it seems like 80% of the nonporn Internet—and a smaller but even more disturbing slice of the porn Internet—is devoted to taco appreciation. I prefer burritos, which is tough luck now that tacos have taken over the stuff-in-a-tortilla market at lunch, dinner, and dessert; let's hurry up and talk about breakfast burritos before the taco thugs storm the morning, too.
Dunkin' Donuts food is very hit or miss. Most of their breakfast items feature decent meat and bad eggs, with that tie broken by the bread. This usually tips things into the miss bucket, because more often than not the bread is one of their giant, crappy bagels. The only choices when building a sandwich between the monstrous halves of a DD bagel are to use too little stuffing for the bread to hold or too much stuffing for the human to eat. Balance is impossible.
That problem could be solved in a breakfast burrito, in which the thin flour tortilla won't overwhelm any good flavors but also won't hide any mistakes. Burritos tell no lies. I tried their new Southwest Veggie and Southwest Steak burritos to see if Dunkin' Donuts could handle the truth.
These burritos are about 6 inches long by 2 inches wide by an inch tall, which is smaller than it sounds. They look more like rolled-up breakfast tacos, or maybe breakfast enchiladas (if you accept my dumb-but-reasonable theory that at the lowest end of the market, Tex-Mex food taxonomy is based primarily on the size of the tortilla and the placement of the cheese). But despite being underwhelming to the naked eye, they're fairly substantial to the mouth and the gut.
The Southwest Veggie has 330 calories and the Steak's got 340, which is plenty for most people's breakfast and a fair shake for $2.99.
A Dunkin' Donuts tortilla has even less flavor than I'd expected, and hooray for that. A fast food tortilla isn't likely to have a good flavor, so the best feasible outcome is no flavor at all. Both tortillas were hot and toasted dry, without any breakfast-wrecking exterior sweat.
The meat was the strongest part of the Southwest Steak, which is enough to make it a qualified success. The steak bits were small but plentiful, and they tasted distinctly beefy in a peppery, jerky-like fashion that suggested integrity more so than quality. This is cheap beef, but it is real beef. The beef party is crashed by a few nubs of translucent onion and good but scare green pepper. The scrambled (as opposed to disked) egg looks plentiful but tastes invisible, which is probably for the best. The cheese goo is the beef's only real competition, and while it's not too bad, this burrito-eater was glad the steak taste prevailed.
The Soutwest Veggie version was slightly inferior to the SW Steak; the lack of a dominant flavor pushed the cheese a little too far forward. I give this one major points, though, for actually making good on DD's claims of "fire-roasted vegetables." I don't know how they pulled it off, but I'll be damned if there weren't some singe marks on the corn! I don't know that this contributed to the flavor in any meaningful way, but it's still a nice touch that restores my faith in fast-food adjectives. Before we get too excited, I must point out that I detected nary a trace of the "southwest spices" alleged to coat my fire-roasted veggies, but, you know, baby steps.
The vegetables in question were corn, green pepper, surprisingly flavorful carrot and spinach, and irrelevant onion; there were also a couple of nice, firm black beans. If they quintupled the bean count and cut back on the worthless scrambled egg, this would be a nice burrito. As constructed, it's acceptable but inferior to the Southwest Steak.

HART - proven for process automation
Get more from your HART devices by employing us as your project partner.
HART is an industrial standard with a very large installed base worldwide. It is a "smart" technology, i.e. it supports the simultaneous transmission of a 4...20 mA analog signal and digital communication over the same pair of wires.
In almost all applications the HART signal is used for parameterization only. With the appropriate tools, however, HART puts continuous device monitoring, real-time device diagnostics and multi-variable process information for new and old devices within your grasp.
Your HART benefits
Exploit the potential of HART with us as your partner:
Over 20 years experience with a proven technology
Comprehensive range of HART measuring instruments
Advanced diagnostics and intelligent multivariable devices
Simple commissioning and device management
Simple integration into control systems
Auxiliary hardware and handheld
Worldwide service and support
Device integration
There are three basic ways of integrating the measurements provided by HART devices into a control system:
Point-to-point connection of the 4...20 mA signal
Connection via a remote I/O or HART multiplexer to a superordinated bus system, e.g. PROFIBUS
On rare occasions, connection of a HART multidrop bus to a HART I/O card
Only in the two latter cases is the full device information available to the control system.
Device operation and management
HART device information (parameters, status etc.) can be accessed by:
An FDT frame, e.g. FieldCare, which requires a so-called DTM for each device type
A DD/EDD operating tool such as Field Xpert SFX350/SFX370 handheld, Asset Management Solution (AMS) and Process Device Manager (PDM)
We offer DTMs, DDs and EDDs for all our HART devices and ensure they are integrated into the above-mentioned tools.
Device drivers and certificates
The device description files and certificates can be obtained from the download area of each product.

Research finds moving public assistance payments from cash to plastic cuts crime
Counties that change their delivery of public assistance benefits from paper checks to an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system – using debit cards – see their street crimes drop significantly, according to a study published today by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Titled "Less Cash, Less Crime: Evidence from the Electronic Benefit Transfer Program," the study is the first to empirically examine whether the introduction of an EBT system, which reduces the amount of cash circulated on the streets, will disrupt criminal activities that rely on the ease and relative anonymity of cash transactions.
"Our results indicate that implementation of the EBT program is associated with a 9.8 percent reduction in the overall crime rate. This was led by reductions in home burglaries, assault and larceny," said study co-author Volkan Topalli, associate professor of criminology at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. "We also find fewer arrests for non-drug offenses in counties where EBT benefit payments were implemented."
The study was spurred by what offenders and criminals were telling criminologists doing research on the street, Topalli said.
"What's really neat about this study and others we do with economists," he said, "is using econometric methods to test important criminological ideas."
This study's co-authors include economist Erdal Tekin of the Andrew Young School – an expert on risky behaviors – criminologists Richard Wright, Richard Rosenfeld and Tim Dickinson of the University of Missouri-St. Louis and economist Chandler McClellan of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
"Our study shows that even a small reduction of cash has a positive effect in reducing street crime," Topalli said. "That's a good thing. But the question moving forward is, what will the impact of a future with even more cashless transactions be on the nation's poor, who up to now have relied disproportionately on cash?"

George Craig defeats Collin Good 373-327 in Democratic mayoral primary
Update: George Craig has defeated Collin Good by 46 votes with a total of 373-327, according to unofficial results from the city's registrar's office.
TORRINGTON >> Voters headed out to the polls Tuesday to cast their votes in the first Democratic mayoral primary since 1984.
As of 3 p.m., 378 ballots of have been cast, a 6 percent turnout from the 6,076 registered Democrats in Torrington, registrar's clerk Nan Gallicchio said. The five polling places provided ballot number updates every three hours, she said.
There have been no problems with the machines or ballot process reported to Gallicchio, she said.
By early afternoon, around 110 residents had cast their votes at the Torrington Armory, one of five polling places available across the city.
Gallicchio said at least 40 people are working in the five polling places during the primary with additional help from several City Hall staff members.
That figure includes at least two people helping count the estimated 30 absentee ballots, Gallicchio said.
"Education is central," said Ken Fuchsman. "I am not happy with the organizations of the middle schools and high schools."
Education, infrastructure, taxes are just some of the concerns of the Democratic voters.
"I feel great," said 23-year-old Collin Good, a Democrat who is challenging the party's endorsed candidate for mayor, George Craig.
He noted how the rainy weather was what potentially was putting a damper on the number of voters making it out, added that he believed only a small number had voted at City Hall Tuesday morning.
With Good smiling and waving to every car driving past, and greeting the few who walked into the Armory to vote, he said that this was Torrington's chance to express their voice and concerns, and to do it clearly.
Craig, who voted early Tuesday morning, said that the primary was a good part of the political process that provided him with campaign experience through weeks of knocking on doors and making phone calls.
"It's a good opportunity right now for everybody to go and voice their opinion out there on who they think is the better candidate," said Craig, who added that he was excited for the primary. "It's been five or six weeks, I would say it's been grueling. It's been a great experience - I wouldn't give it up for nothing."
"We wanna see some change in the city," said Thom Collins, a voter who moved here last week from Nevada. "I lived here 40 years ago and I'm seeing the change – some is good but there is always room for improvement."
Collins said some of the problems he would like to see confronted would be the numerous empty storefronts and potholes that are around town, including the potholes in the parking lot outside the Armory.
Taxes also remain a major concern of voters.
"Moving from Nevada our property taxes have tripled," said Collins, "this area has one of the highest mill rates, which needs to be worked on."
Fuchsman agreed. "Torrington needs businesses to increase for tax purposes."
There are 6,000 registered Democrats in the area, and 10 percent are expected to come out and cast their vote to determine the Democratic candidate who will face off against Republican mayoral candidate Elinor Carbone in the general election on Nov. 5.
"I'm hoping the sun comes out and around 4 or 5 o'clock when people get out of work so more people will come and vote," said Good.
Polls are open until 8 p.m.Polling locations that are open for the primary are: The Torrington Armory, 153 South Main St.; City Hall, 140 Main St.; Coe Memorial Park Civic Center, 101 Litchfield St.; Torringford School, 800 Charles St.; and Torrington Middle School, 200 Middle School Dr.
