"Hey, do you want some?" your friend asks as he offers you a mouthwatering homemade brownie. You're tempted by the delicious dessert, but then you see the crushed peanuts on top. Darn! You're allergic to peanuts. Maybe just one little bite?
Nope. If you have a food allergy, even a very tiny bit of that food can make you sick. It's better to say no thanks to the brownie and have a nut-free dessert. Lots of kids have food allergies – about 3 million in the United States alone.
These foods cause the most food allergies:
- peanuts and other nuts
- seafood, such as shrimp
- milk, particularly cow's milk
- eggs
- soy
- wheat
What Is a Food Allergy?
Food allergies occur when your immune system makes a mistake. Normally, your immune (say: ih-myoon) system protects you from germs and disease. It does this by making antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other tiny organisms that can make you sick. But if you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly treats something in a certain food as if it's really dangerous to you.
The same sort of thing happens with any allergy, whether it's a medicine (like penicillin), pollen in the air (from flowers and trees), or a food, like peanuts. So the thing itself isn't harmful, but the way your body reacts to it is.
If a kid with peanut allergy would have eaten that peanut-topped brownie, here's what would happen. Antibodies to something in the food would cause mast cells (a type of immune system cell in the body) to release chemicals into the bloodstream. One of these chemicals is histamine (say: his-tuh-meen).
What's a Reaction Like?
The histamine then causes symptoms that affect a person's eyes, nose, throat, respiratory system, skin, and digestive system. A person with a food allergy could have a mild reaction – or it could be more severe. An allergic reaction could happen right away or a few hours after the person eats it. Some of the first signs that a person may be having an allergic reaction could be a runny nose, an itchy skin rash such as hives, or a tingling in the tongue or lips. Other signs include:
- tightness in the throat
- hoarse voice
- wheezing
- cough
- nausea
- vomiting
- stomach pain
- diarrhea
In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis (say: ah-nuh-fuh-lak-sis). This is a sudden, severe allergic reaction in which several problems occur all at once and can involve the skin, breathing, digestion, the heart, and blood vessels. A person's blood pressure can drop, breathing tubes can narrow, and the tongue can swell.
People at risk for this kind of a reaction have to be very careful and need a plan for handling emergencies, when they might need to get special medicine to stop these symptoms from getting worse.
Many kids outgrow allergies to milk and eggs as they grow older. But severe allergies to foods like peanuts, certain kinds of fish, and shrimp often last a lifetime.
How Do You Know if You Have One?
Sometimes it's easy to figure out that a kid has a food allergy. He or she might get hives or have other problems after eating it. But other times, it's more of a mystery what's causing the problem. Most foods have more than one ingredient, so if a kid has shrimp with peanut sauce, what's causing the allergy – the peanut sauce or the shrimp?
Doctors believe that allergies could be hereditary, which means if your parent or other close relative has certain allergies like hay fever, you're more likely to develop the allergies. Some kids are born allergic to certain foods, whereas others develop food allergies over time. This may be due to someone's surroundings or changes in the body as they grow older.
Many people react to a certain food but are not actually allergic. For example, people with lactose intolerance (say: lak-tose in-tah-luh-runtz) get belly pain and diarrhea from milk and other dairy products. That doesn't mean they're allergic to milk. They don't feel good after drinking milk because their bodies can't properly break down the sugars found in milk.
What Will the Doctor Do?
If you think you may be allergic to a certain food, let your parents know. They will take you to the doctor to get it checked out.
If your doctor thinks you might have a food allergy, he or she will probably send you to see a doctor who specializes in allergies. The allergy specialist will ask you about past reactions and how long it takes between eating the food and getting the symptom, such as hives. The allergist also may ask about whether anyone else in your family has allergies or other allergy-related conditions, such as eczema or asthma.
The allergist may also want to do a skin test. This is a way of seeing how your body reacts to a very small amount of the food that is giving you trouble. The allergist will use a liquid extract of the food and, possibly, other common allergy-causing foods to see if you react to any of them. (A liquid extract is a liquid version of something that usually isn't liquid.)
The doctor will make a little scratch on your skin (it will be a quick pinch!) and drop a little of the liquid extract on the scratched spot or spots. Different extracts will go on the different scratch spots, so the doctor can see how your skin reacts to each substance. If you get a reddish, raised spot, it shows that you are allergic to that food or substance.
Some doctors may also take a blood sample and send it to a lab. That's where it will be mixed with some of the food or substance you may be allergic to and checked for certain antibodies.
It's important to remember that even though the doctor tests for food allergies by exposing you to a very small amount of the food, you should not try this at home! The best place for an allergy test is at the doctor's office, where they are specially trained and could give you medicine right away if you had a serious reaction.
How Are Food Allergies Treated?
There is no special medicine for food allergies. Some can be outgrown, and others a kid will have his or her whole life. The best treatment is simply to avoid the food itself and any foods or drinks that contain the food.
One way to figure that out is to read food labels. Any foods that might cause an allergic reaction will be listed near or in the ingredient list. Doctors and allergy organizations also can help by providing lists of safe foods and unsafe foods. Some people who are very sensitive may need to avoid foods just because they are made in the same factory that also makes their problem food. You may have seen some candy wrappers that say the candy was made in a factory that processes nuts, too.
Have a Plan
No matter how hard you try, you may eat the wrong thing by accident. Stay calm and follow your emergency plan. What's an emergency plan? Before a slipup happens, it's a good idea to create a plan with your doctor and parents. The plan should spell out what to do, who to tell, and which medicines to take, if you have a reaction.
This is especially important if you have a food allergy that can cause a serious reaction (anaphylaxis). For serious reactions, people may need a shot of epinephrine (say: eh-pih-neh-frin) with them. This kind of epinephrine injection comes in an easy-to-carry container that looks like a pen. You and your parent can work out whether you carry this or someone at school keeps it on hand for you. You'll also need to identify a person who will give you the shot.
You might want to have antihistamine medication on hand as well, though if anaphylaxis is occurring, this medicine is not a substitute for epinephrine. After receiving an epinephrine shot, you would need to go to the hospital or a medical facility, where they would keep an eye on you and make sure the reaction is under control.
Living With Food Allergies
Having a food allergy is a drag, but it doesn't need to slow a kid down. If you have nut, milk, or egg allergies, we've created cut-and-carry cards that can help you spot problem ingredients in foods. Your mom, dad, and other adults also can help you steer clear of reactions.
But what if something you really like turns out to be on your "do not eat" list? Today, so many people have food allergies that companies have created lots of good substitutes for favorite foods – everything from dairy-free mashed potatoes to wheat-free chocolate chunk cookies!

Hard-line cleric leads campaign in Maharashtra, ideological capital of Hindu nationalism.
MUMBAI, India, October 27 (CDN) — Hundreds of tribal Christians and adherents of aboriginal religion from villages in Maharashtra state were reportedly "reconverted" to Hinduism yesterday in the Mumbai suburb of Thane at a ceremony led by a Hindu nationalist cleric.
Swami Narendra Maharaj's goal was to "reconvert" 6,000 Christians in the so-called purification ceremony, reported The Hindustan Times, which put the number of "reconversions" at around 800. Hindu nationalists believe all Indians are born Hindu and therefore regard acceptance of Hinduism by those practicing other religions as "reconversion."
Maharaj, a Hindu cleric known for opposing proclamation of Christ, has allegedly led anti-Christian attacks in tribal regions. On March 15, 2008, his men reportedly attacked two Catholic nuns, Sister Marceline and Sister Philomena, from the non-profit Jeevan Jyoti Kendra (Light of Life Center) in Sahanughati, near Mumbai.
The attack took place in a camp to educate tribal women on HIV/AIDS, which also provided information on government welfare programs, according to Indo-Asian News Service. The assault in Sahanughati, Alibaug district was followed by a mass "reconversion" ceremony in the area on April 27, 2008, said Ram Puniyani, a well-known civil rights activist in Mumbai.
Rightwing Hindu groups are mostly active in tribal areas. Hindu nationalists attack Christians in tribal areas because they provide social and development services, regarded as competition by rightwing Hindus seeking to woo tribal voters, said Anwar Rajan, secretary of the People's Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL) in Maharashtra's Pune city.
Kandhamal district in the eastern state of Orissa, where a massive spate of anti-Christian attacks took place in August-September 2008, is also a tribal-majority area. At least 100 Christians were killed, 4,600 houses and churches were burned, and over 50,000 people were rendered homeless in the violence.
Sociologists maintain that India's tribal peoples are not Hindus but practice their own ethnic faiths. Hindu nationalists run Ekal Vidyalayas (one-teacher schools) in tribal regions to "Hinduize" local villagers and repel conversions to other faiths. These schools are operating in over 27,000 villages of India.
Dubious Claims
An anonymous spokesman of Maharaj said the plan for yesterday's event was to "reconvert" 6,000 Christians to achieve the larger goal of "bringing back" 100,000 Christians, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency.
The rightwing spokesman in Maharashtra, a western state where Hindu nationalism originated decades ago, claimed that Maharaj and his followers had overseen the conversion of more than 94,000 Christians "back to their original faith" and plan to complete the target of 100,000 in the next two years.
Maharaj, whose followers call him Jagat Guru (Guru of the World), told PTI that those who "reconverted" were not coerced.
"We are not having a religious conversion here – it's a process of purification," Maharaj was quoted as saying. "We taught them the precepts of the Hindu religion, and they decided to convert to Hinduism on their own after repentance. They were not forced."
Many reports of "reconversions," however, have been found to be false.
In 2007, Hindi-language daily Punjab Kesari reported that four Christian families in Nahan town, in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, had "reconverted" to Hinduism. But a fact-finding team of the All India Christian Council revealed that none of the members of those families had ever converted to Christianity.
The Hindustan Times reported yesterday's ceremony included rituals involving cow's milk, seeking forgiveness from ancestors, installation of idols of the Hindu gods Ganesh and Vishnu, and an offering ritual performed by priests from Ayodhya, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya is believed to be the birthplace of the Hindu god Rama.
Home of Hindu Nationalism
The basic philosophy of Hindu nationalism was expounded by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, popularly known as Veer Savarkar, in 1923 through the publishing of a pamphlet, "Hindutva: Who is a Hindu?" Savarkar, who is from Maharashtra, argued that only those who have their ancestors from India as well as consider India as their holy land should have full citizenship rights.
A follower of Savarkar, Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, also from Maharashtra, further developed the Hindu nationalist philosophy through a book, "A Bunch of Thoughts," in 1966. He claimed superiority of Hinduism over other religions and cultures of the world.
"In this land, Hindus have been the owners, Parsis and Jews the guests, and Muslims and Christians the dacoits [bandits]," he said.
The emergence of Hindu nationalist ideology from Maharashtra came in reaction to the politics of social justice by Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar and Mahatma (Jyotirao) Phule, said Irfan Engineer, director of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies in Mumbai and an expert on religious conflicts. Phule led a mass movement of emancipation of lower castes, mainly Shudras and Ati-Shudras or Dalits, in the 1870s. Ambedkar, known as the architect of the Indian Constitution, began movements against "untouchability" in the 1920s.
Also born in Maharashtra was the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteer Corps, or RSS), India's most influential Hindu nationalist conglomerate. It was founded in 1925 in Nagpur by Dr. K.B. Hedgewar.
Hindu society has traditionally had four castes or social classes, namely Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra. While Shudras belong to the lowest caste, Dalits were formerly known as "untouchables" because the priestly Brahmin class considered them to be outside the confines of the caste system.
During British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947, sections of the Brahmins felt the British were sympathetic towards the Dalit reformist movement, said Engineer of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies. Mahars, Maharashtra's largest Dalit people group, have been very organized and powerful since then.
The PUCL's Rajan said that the Brahmins have long portrayed minorities as enemies of Hinduism.
"Since the Dalit reformist movement is essentially against the Brahmin hegemony, the Brahmins had to react and get organized," Rajan said. "As a part of their strategy to weaken the reformist movement, Brahmins projected minorities as the 'real' enemies of all Hindus, including Dalits and other lower castes, diverting attention away from the atrocities they meted out on them."
Most of the founding leaders of Hindu nationalism, including Savarkar, Hedgewar and Golwalkar, were Brahmins. Since communal troubles benefited Hindu nationalists politically, the use of divisive issues became routine for them, Rajan added.
After two successive defeats of the Bharatiya Janata Party, political wing of the RSS, in general elections in 2004 and 2009, differences between the moderate and extremist sections within the Hindu nationalist movement – which blame each other for the party's downfall – have deepened to unprecedented levels.
In frustration, the extremists have accelerated their activities, especially in Maharashtra, the ideological capital, said Dr. Suresh Khairnar, a well-known civil activist from Nagpur.

Friendly Exes Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie Hang Out at Coachella
Oh what a difference three months makes — just ask Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie.
The former husband and wife announced their "amicable separation" in January, but appeared happier than ever at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this weekend.
Both Duff, 26, and Comrie, 33, were sun-kissed and smiling as they wandered around the Indio, California, concert ground on Friday, reportedly catching Audra Mae's performance during the day and hanging out with Jessica Szohr and Dianna Agron that night.
The mom and Coachella vet sported hippie chic attire for the friendly outing, pairing a ribbed white tank with daisy duke shorts, a fedora hat, and a smattering of statement necklaces, one of which looks like it might be an electric blue rabbit foot. For his part, the former NHL player kept it simple in a lightweight T-shirt and jeans.
But it was their easy nature with each other that drew attention. Though an unnamed source claimed the pair is "still just friends" and added a rather definitive-sounding, "They are not back together," there's no denying that the pair, who were married for three years, looked pleased as punch to be together.
Plus, this isn't the first time they've been spotted hanging out since their split. The duo stepped out with their son, Luca, 3, on many occasions. Perhaps more importantly, though, little Luca wasn't at Coachella, meaning this was some quality one-on-one time for the parents.
While the official word is that the romance is over, we're going to hold off on the final verdict for at least a few more months.

David Karpf lecture at the American University on the impact of technologies on political activism.
A brief description of the talk from the Center for Social Media website:
Karpf walked his audience through an examination of internet age advocacy organizations: examining their effectiveness in running campaigns; how they run campaigns as compared to legacy advocacy groups such as the Sierra Club (an organization that predates the internet by nearly 100 years); and what the future of the netroots movements means for the future of all who are involved in advocacy work. Karpf, who served on the Sierra Club board of directors in graduate school, came equipped with a perspective that combines the physical experience of his grassroots campaign work and the intellectual experience of meticulously mapping the behavior and patterns of online groups such as DailyKos and MoveOn.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- A spokesman for Casey Kasem's daughter says the ailing radio personality has been taken by ambulance to a hospital or medical facility in Washington state.
Danny Deraney told The Associated Press that Kerri Kasem accompanied her father when an ambulance took him Sunday afternoon to receive care. He didn't know where the 82-year-old entertainer went.
His condition is not known, but Kerri Kasem said in court Friday that her father, a former "Top 40'' radio host, is suffering from bedsores and lung and bladder infections. She also has said her father has a form of dementia.
Amid an ongoing dispute between Kerri Kasem and her stepmother, Jean Kasem, a Kitsap County judge ruled Friday that Kerri Kasem could have a doctor of her choosing examine her father.
The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office has said appropriate medical care has been provided.
A message left for Jean Kasem's representative wasn't immediately returned.

NOTICE: This product is only available to ship in the USA!!!
3 Pack Mint Flavor ~ Now in a 1 ounce size!
Welcome to one of the worlds Healthiest Oils I call it: CBD-"THC" oil which is Cow Boy Don "Tolman's Healing Cannabinoids" (80 of them are my oil) with over 400 phytonutrients that modern science has found.
Since Ancient times Hemp has been revered as a source of Nutrition as Healing Medicines. Healers from Ancient China, Egypt, Greece, India, Assyria and Rome have recorded in stone, papyrus, clay pottery and more that Hemp is an indispensable Health Treasure beyond comparison. the 80 cannabinoids is only in Hemp and one other surprising place… Our bodies! Hemp also has Terpenoids, essential oils, Protector Inhibitors (antioxidants) and more, including high amounts of your bodies need for essential fatty acids. Also, studies show that breast milk is a great source of cannabinoids because our bodies can make it and babies need it… but Hemp is the only known source of cannabinoids outside of our bodies.
Benefits of CBD oil:
Many published scientific studies show that CBD oil can prevent and clear cancer tumors by helping the cells dump toxins and by overcoming deficiencies.
Many athletes use CBD oil to overcome sleeplessness, join pains and muscle pains from over use in their workouts or competitions. CBD is one of nature's analgesics.
CBD targets especially the functional capacities of the nervous and immune systems as well as the brain and digestion.
Directions for use CBD oil:
The use of the oil for your highest uptake delivery to the cells is to use sublingual salivation. Use 30 drops at a time (30 drops is filling a glass eye dropper 1/2 full) then squirt it under your tongue and leave it there for 20-30 seconds then move the oil into and around your mouth and swish the oil for 15-30 seconds and then swallow. Do NOT get in your eyes.
Is my CBD oil the same as medical Marijuana?
No. Agricultural Hemp which is a relative of Marijuana (cannabis sativa) is an agricultural Hemp, so CBD doesn't contain the psychoactive properties of THC that Marijuana has.
This allows anyone to get the benefits of Hemp CBD without the Euphoric High. My CBD oil has the Highest mg strength that's possible, (500mg).
Hemp CBD oil is Legal in all 50 states of the USA. The Founding Fathers and Mothers of the 13 Colonies used Hemp as the largest industry in the United States. Then the British Garrison/armies came to America and burned millions of acres of Hemp and forced the planting of cotton onto the people.
Today's researchers have confirmed what the Ancient Healers knew, and that is, that the Human body is designed with a built in Endocannabinoid system it's called (ECS). The ECS system is used at the atomic, molecular and cellular levels for the bodies internal communication from the brain to the tips of your toes. Because this important nutrient communication system can become depleted in our bodies, it creates a need for replenishment. CBD oil is capable of creating a balancing effect by restoring your functional physiological homeostasis.
My CBD oil is extracted from the plant using cold pressed extraction.
Scientific researchers the world over are studying CBD oil because of the observable impact it has on every single organ of the Human body.
Helping family, friends and others to be Healthy Mentally, Emotionally, Physically and Socially has been the Passion of my Life.
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for me is what we are on this earth for, just as the Ancients taught. CBD oil can change lives and it tastes amazing. There are 3 flavors, original, Strawberry and Mint.
No additives, no colorings, no preservatives, non-GMO, no Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides or Insecticides. 100% Organic Plants… and that's it.

Calling all banana bread lovers out there! Have I got an insanely delish banana bread for you. This banana bread will take you to a whole other banana bread level--yes it's that good! Why? Well, the flavor of the butterscotch is so gentle and melds so perfectly with the banana. I think the trick was finding the right amount of butterscotch to put in, and of course the mascarpone cheese adds a lot of smoothness. You know how the flavor of butterscotch chips is kind of strong and chemicaly-testing? Well, I added just the right amount of butterscotch chips to meld perfectly with the bananas, and cheese to give it a wonderful light-sugary, banana taste. The taste is so hard to describe, but trust me, this banana bread is fabulous. No butter or cream cream will be needed on your slice of this. The leftovers, I swear only get better with time. Seriously, you need to make this.
butterscotch-banana bread
kind of, sort of adapted from The Secrets of Baking
print recipe
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup buttermilk
½ cup mascarpone cheese
6 ounce unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
3 fully ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9-x-5-3-inch loaf pan. (I did 2 of these). Make sure to grease and flour, do not skip this step!
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
Combine the buttermilk and mascarpone cheese in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl beat eggs then combine them to the buttermilk & mascarpone mixture.
Using a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter with the cinnamon on high speed until soft and creamy, about 1 minute. Slowly add the sugar beating continuously on high speed.
The mixture should be light, fluffy and creamy white in color. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add one third of the flour mixture to the batter and beat until it is just incorporated.
Add one third of the mascarpone cheese mixture and mix until just incorporated.
Add the flour and mascarpone mixture in two more additions, mixing until addition is incorporated before adding the next.
Fold in the mashed bananas and butterscotch chips.
Pour the batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (mine was done in an hour, so watch your bread as the hour-mark approaches, but I have a convection oven that seems to have a higher heat than most ovens; so your bread my take longer than an hour. always use a cake tester to judge if it's done or not).
Cool in the pan on a rack for 5-10 minutes, then remove from pan and set on rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Note: you might be tempted to add nuts to this - don't! I did and it just didn't taste the same.

i just finished baking a batch and it's definitely the most successful banana bread i've ever made. delicious AND it cooked all the way through in just an hour, AND it came out of the pan perfectly. what more can a girl ask for?ReplyDelete
This is INCREDIBLE. See my blog post here: http://thesharpnotes.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/butterscotch-banana-bread/ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!
Wow. Beyond fabulous. I made one for home, which kind of flopped, but was still tasty. The one I made for work was AWESOME. People absolutely loved it!ReplyDelete
OMG this recipe is fabulous. I made two of these, one for work, and one for home. They did not last long at all. I hate eating bananas, but I saw the recipe and just had to try. I'm willing to eat it! :)ReplyDelete
I'm going to bake butterscotch banana bread today, but since I don't have mascarpone, I'll be using an old state fair winning recipe. Yours looks good too.ReplyDelete

Chicken Pot Pie… Chicken Pot Pie… one of my all time favorite foods. It may not look fancy, needs no exotic ingredients, but when it comes to winter comfort food few other compare!
In the hope that others appreciate it as well, I offer this recipe adapted (to make it kosher) from Aida Mollenkamp's recipes as they appear on the pages of chow.com.
For the pie's filling we must first make Creamed Chicken, this can be made from any chicken leftovers:
Creamed Chicken Recipe
Total: 20 mins
Active: 20 mins
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
- 4 tablespoons unsalted margarine (1/2 stick)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup unflavored soy milk
- 3 cups cooked chicken, medium dice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Melt margarine over medium-low heat in a large saucepan or frying pan until foaming. Sprinkle in flour while constantly whisking, and cook until raw flavor is gone, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until mixture is smooth. Add soy milk and again whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add chicken and vinegar, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Chicken Pot Pie
Total: 1 hr 10 mins
Active: 35 mins
Makes: 12 servings
- 2 tablespoons unsalted margarine (1/4 stick), plus more for coating the dish
- 2 cups pearl onions, peeled
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1 cuppotato, coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cupcelery (leaves too), coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cupcarrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
- Creamed Chicken (recipe above)
- 1 large egg
- 14 ounces store-bought puff pastry dough, defrosted if frozen
- Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with margarine and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons margarine over medium heat in a large frying pan until foaming. Add onions and sage and cook until sage aroma is released, about 2 minutes.
- Add potato, celery, and carrots and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until carrots and onions are just beginning to soften, about 6 minutes.
- Remove mixture from heat, stir in peas, parsley, and creamed chicken, and season with salt and pepper.
- Turn filling into the prepared baking dish. Whisk egg together with 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
- With kitchen shears, cut dough to fit over the baking dish. Place dough over filling and tuck into the edges of the dish.
- Brush dough with reserved egg wash and cut 10 evenly distributed slits in the top to vent. Cook until crust is golden brown and mixture is bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
I made this dish last night. to say it was just delicious would be a serious understatement. Coming home from the cold, this one truly hit the spot! Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Hi Hari,We propose you our kwikwai for 100 CHF.If you're interested, drop me a message with your address so that I can compute the shipping costs.Within EU, these costs are usually CHF 8.-Regards,Philippe
Fair enough.Anybody else interested by the offer ?Regards,Philippe
I did receive a kwikwai unit and it works very nice! I'm already working on a driver. So if you want to control your Blu-Ray player, AVR and TV with a single unit, you should get one quickly.br Hari
SO Hari, If i understand corectly, I can control, AMP, DVD,TV and possibly PS3 via the kwikwai unit, using an orbiter?This would be a better solution than USB-UIRT......
Hi Karel,I guess there is a confusion because of the 2 HDMI ports you saw on kwikwai.Actually, with the current model, you can only control one HDMI bus.Having two HDMI ports on kwikwai is only a way to ease the installation when there is no available HDMI port on any of the devices you want to control.If a HDMI port is available anywhere on one HDMI device, just connect to it, and the second HDMI port on kwikwai is not used.You can have a look on our wiki for further information :http://wiki.kwikwai.com/index.php?title=Device_installationNevertheless, as defined by the HDMI specification, one HDMI bus is composed of up to 16 devices.It supports only one display, named "sink" usually the TV, and several sources. here is the list as per the HDMI 1.3a specification. Therefore with one kwikwai, you can control several devices, but all on the same HDMI bus.In the future, we'll probably develop a model supporting several buses, as for a HDMI matrix.Hopefully I answered your question.Please feel free to contact me, if you have any further question.Best regards,Philippe Landry
SO Hari, If i understand corectly, I can control, AMP, DVD,TV and possibly PS3 via the kwikwai unit, using an orbiter?This would be a better solution than USB-UIRT......Karel
Whats the status of this in LinuxMCE at the moment, will it be PNP now or in the very near future?
Hmm, actually remember seeing a template for a HDMI-CEC interface, number 2163. Is that for this device?

FreeBSD Manual Pages
CAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual CAT(1) NAME cat -- concatenate and print files SYNOPSIS cat [-belnstuv] [file ...] DESCRIPTION The cat utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the standard output. The file operands are processed in command-line order. If file is a single dash (`-') or absent, cat reads from the standard input. If file is a UNIX domain socket, cat connects to it and then reads it until EOF. This complements the UNIX domain binding capability available in inetd(8). The options are as follows: -b Number the non-blank output lines, starting at 1. -e Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display a dollar sign (`$') at the end of each line. -l Set an exclusive advisory lock on the standard output file de- scriptor. This lock is set using fcntl(2) with the F_SETLKW com- mand. If the output file is already locked, cat will block until the lock is acquired. -n Number the output lines, starting at 1. -s Squeeze multiple adjacent empty lines, causing the output to be single spaced. -t Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display tab characters as `^I'. -u Disable output buffering. -v Display non-printing characters so they are visible. Control characters print as `^X' for control-X; the delete character (oc- tal 0177) prints as `^?'. Non-ASCII characters (with the high bit set) are printed as `M-' (for meta) followed by the character for the low 7 bits. EXIT STATUS The cat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. EXAMPLES The command: cat file1 will print the contents of file1 to the standard output. The command: cat file1 file2 > file3 will sequentially print the contents of file1 and file2 to the file file3, truncating file3 if it already exists. See the manual page for your shell (e.g., sh(1)) for more information on redirection. The command: cat file1 - file2 - file3 will print the contents of file1, print data it receives from the stan- dard input until it receives an EOF (`^D') character, print the contents of file2, read and output contents of the standard input again, then fi- nally output the contents of file3. Note that if the standard input re- ferred to a file, the second dash on the command-line would have no ef- fect, since the entire contents of the file would have already been read and printed by cat when it encountered the first `-' operand. SEE ALSO head(1), more(1), pr(1), sh(1), tail(1), vis(1), zcat(1), fcntl(2), setbuf(3) Rob Pike, "UNIX Style, or cat -v Considered Harmful", USENIX Summer Conference Proceedings, 1983. STANDARDS The cat utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 ("POSIX.2") specification. The flags [-belnstv] are extensions to the specification. HISTORY A cat utility appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. Dennis Ritchie designed and wrote the first man page. It appears to have been for cat. BUGS Because of the shell language mechanism used to perform output redirect- ion, the command "cat file1 file2 > file1" will cause the original data in file1 to be destroyed! The cat utility does not recognize multibyte characters when the -t or -v option is in effect. BSD January 29, 2013 BSD

Commercial Restaurant Equipment
- Commercial Restaurant Equipment
- Cubic Feet:49 ft
- Price:Over $5000
TundraFMP is a restaurant supply store who sells a wide variety of commercial restaurant equipment to fit your every need. Most commercial kitchens will count on restaurant equipment staples like ice machines (also referred to as ice makers), griddles, bakery equipment, prep equipment, refrigeration equipment and more— but don't forget about your countertop cooking equipment either! At TundraFMP, we have a large and diverse selection of restaurant equipment for your kitchen like commercial fryers, ice cream equipment, soup warmers, commercial microwaves and more from the industry's leading manufacturers.
Restaurant Supply and Restaurant Equipment: Microwaves, Toasters & More
Big power comes in smaller packages when we talk about smaller commercial appliances and restaurant equipment. Countertop convection ovens, and commercial microwaves have also come a long way in performance and durability. These foodservice equipment options are ideal for commercial kitchens tight on space, and also great for convenience stores or bars that don't have access to a hood. Food processors and mixers certainly don't sit ringside when it comes to food prep. Chefs count on the timesaving power of these commercial appliances to ensure menu items taste the same at any time of day, no matter who is preparing it. If that wasn't enough, consider this: portion control is a real money saver in the kitchen, and choppers and slicers help you determine exactly how many burgers you can slice with a single tomato—say "Bye-bye" to waste, and "Hello" to more change in your pocket.
Restaurant Equipment: Bakery Equipment
In addition to commonly used restaurant equipment and supplies, our restuarant store offers a wide variety of specialty bakery equipment. Bakeries rely on refrigerated bakery cases and merchandisers to showcase product available for sale. After all, they say we eat with our eyes first, right? A well-lit refrigerated case helps you make a good impression at any time of day. Also be sure to check out our selection of dough dividers and presses, and proofing cabinets, which offer the ultimate in multitasking.
Don't miss our selection of Vitamix, Hamilton Beach and Waring blenders, which includes several models that work well in the kitchen and behind the bar. You might also be searching for commercial coffee brewers, beverage dispensers and more. We sell a variety of beverage equipment including airpot coffee brewers, and ever-popular Bunn coffee brewers with your classic black and orange decanters.
When shopping for restaurant equipment in your kitchen, first consider its purpose—what will you use it for? Seems like a simple question, but figuring out what items you wish to blend or cook will help determine what type of equipment you need. From there consider its power. Are you a busy breakfast destination who serves up hundreds of toast per day? Finding equipment that meets your needs for power and durability is key to making a good investment. Finally, make sure it actually fits in your space (believe it or not, this problem happens all too often).
As your one-stop shop in commercial equipment, we sell a variety of popular industry brands including Pitco, Robot Coupe, Scotsman, Globe, Nemco and many more! Shop restaurant equipment and supplies for your business today.

Health law coverage may track workplace cost shift
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's health care law appears to mirror a trend in job-based insurance, where employees are being nudged into cost-saving plans that require them to pay a bigger share of their medical expenses.
Two independent studies out this week highlighted attractive prices for less-generous "bronze" plans that will offer low monthly premiums but require patients to pick up more of the cost if they get sick.
Consumers might avoid "rate shock" over premiums, but some could end up struggling with bigger bills for the care they receive.
The Obama plans will be available starting Oct. 1 for people who don't have access to coverage on the job. Studies by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation and Avalere Health provided the first look at rates filed by insurers around the country, ahead of the Oct. 1 opening of new state insurance markets under the law.
Consumers will use the markets to find out whether they qualify for tax credits to help pay their premiums and to pick a private insurance plan from a range of coverage levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
Come Jan. 1, virtually everyone in the United States will be required to have coverage, or face fines if they don't. At the same time, insurance companies no longer can turn away people in poor health.
"What was really striking as we dug into the numbers is how inexpensive the bronze plans are," said Larry Levitt, a Kaiser vice president.
Avalere, a private data analysis firm, found the average monthly premium for a bronze plan is $274, compared with $336 for the next level of coverage, a silver plan. The savings from going with bronze adds up to $744 annually, and that's off the sticker price, before federal tax credits that will reduce premiums for an estimated 4 out of 5 customers in the new markets.
It's "likely to entice healthier enrollees to opt for a less generous benefit package," said Caroline Pearson, a lead author of the study. The law's tax credits will make low-cost plans even more appealing. The tax credits work by limiting what you pay for premiums to a given percentage of your income.
By pairing their tax credit with a bronze policy, some younger consumers can bring their premiums down to the range of $100 to $140 a month, the Kaiser study found. Older people can drive their monthly cost even lower — well below $100, and zero in some cases— if they are willing to take a chance with higher deductibles and copays.
It's a trade-off that some consumers unfamiliar with insurance might not fully grasp.
"A bronze plan is a very basic plan," explained Levitt. It "will enable consumers to pay very low premiums up front, zero in some cases. But when they actually need medical care, they will pay higher costs out of their own pockets." For the most part, you're stuck with the plan you pick until the next annual open enrollment season.
Job-based plans have been shifting costs to employees for some time. In 2009, when Obama took office, 22 percent of workers were in plans with an annual deductible of $1,000 or more for single coverage, according to Kaiser. By this year, the share had nearly doubled, to 38 percent, including 3 out of 5 employees of small companies.
Obama's law largely reflects what's already going on in the marketplace, but Pearson said over time it may accelerate the shift to plans with higher out-of-pocket costs.
Administration officials are pleased with the large number of low-cost options. Health and Human Services Department spokeswoman Joanne Peters said the administration is confident that consumers will be able to compare plans side by side in the new markets and make the right choices for themselves.
Avalere crunched the numbers on premiums filed by insurers in 11 states and Washington, D.C. Kaiser added another 6 states. Both studies included a mix of states running their own insurance markets and ones in which the federal government will take charge.
Under Obama's law, all plans on the new insurance markets must cover the same benefits, including preventive care at no charge to patients. Another similarity is a cap on total out-of-pocket costs at $6,350 for individuals, $12,700 for a family policy. The main difference between plans is cost-sharing. Bronze plans cover 60 percent of expected medical costs, silver plans will cover 70 percent, gold will cover 80 percent and platinum 90 percent.
Midrange silver plans were considered the benchmark when the law was written more than three years ago. Lawmakers keyed the tax credits to the cost of the second-lowest-cost silver plan in a local area.
People with modest incomes may still come out ahead by sticking with a silver plan instead of going for bronze. That's because additional help with out-of-pocket costs such as copays will only be available to people enrolling in a silver plan.

This past weekend, we tackled more items from the seemingly endless to-do list around here. The weather was nice for most of the weekend and we were able to get a lot done.
Friday afternoon my mom came over to help me get a few things organized for the baby's room and the basement spare room. We sorted through some of our food preservation items and then I realized that using that spare room as a place to store all our outdoor gear and Rick's tools and workbench wasn't really working anymore.
So Saturday, the first thing we did was move his work bench, cabinets and tools out of the basement and into the garage. Rick had surgery the previous weekend and was on weight restrictions for a week, so he, of course jumped into lifting heavy objects again the moment the restriction was up. He's getting a pretty cool workspace set up in there, and that made a lot more room to convert the room in the basement into something useful.
We did various projects around the homestead. I've lost count, but no less than five were worked on, and some even got completed. Some of the projects turned out good enough to warrant their own future posts. 😉 Rick spent more time cutting down the tree and we cleaned out the chicken coop since the weather was finally cooperative. We replanted the cukes, since none had come up and it had been about two weeks since the seeds went into the ground. I picked so many greens for every meal this weekend, and we grilled four times in two days.
I went ahead and put shingles on the roof of the beehive. Rick's parents gave us some spare shingles they had up in their garage rafters, and it was enough to cover the hive. A good thing too, since the naked plywood was not loving our rainy spring. Then, to be honest we were wiped out.
By Sunday evening, we were both pretty tired. Monday we did a few projects (a very few) before I looked at Rick and said that I was spent. Rick was tired too, probably from doing too much too soon. Did I mention I'm 8 months pregnant? Yeah. And Rick just had surgery? Oh. Right. That's why were were tired.
Rick put the bike rack on the 4Runner and we cleaned up all our tools. And then we went inside, made some pad Thai and watched a movie in the basement. I'm pretty sure we're mad. Maybe we'll try to rest next weekend a bit? Maybe. Only eight more weeks until baby (plus or minus a couple, of course). We're feeling the last…erm… push, if you know what I mean. 😉

KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: dreaming of a major third
From an installation at Museum of Contemporary Art in Boston, this piece is a slow mediation of bells (recorded from the long silent Mass MoCA clocktower) that have been pitch shifted and reshaped electronically and respond to information about the intensity and position of the sun in real time. Strangely satisfying and minimal. But bells are like people and their voices do seem to have a biological effect on us, Excellent full documentation, notes and photographs.

You can find this design available on any style from a ladies fitted shirt to a men"s crewneck sweatshirt.
Print Technique
Digital printing is an amazing process that involves your artwork "Hokage" being processed by a computer and then printed directly onto the surface of your product. Digital printing is not a heat transfer or applique, as the ink directly adheres to the fabric of your shirt. Each printing process has its strengths, and our artwork team will weigh these when deciding which to use for your art.
Plot Printing Consists of both Flock and Flex Print, This process transfers your artwork "Hokage" from a special foil through an immense amount of pressure and heat. Flex images are smooth, a little plastic like and a tad bit glossy. Flock images have a fuzzy velvet-like texture and appear slightly more elevated. Think of drawing just the shadows and how that would appear without color. 3 colors plus the color of the garment itself is used to print.

A Chinese human rights dissident and democracy advocate was awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, reports Peter J. Smith, LifeSiteNews.com.
Liu Xiaobo is the architect of a pro-democracy and human rights manifesto called Charter 08, which called for basic freedoms such as freedom of religion, assembly, protection of private property, and the guarantee of rights outlined under the U.N.'s Declaration of Universal Human Rights.
Authorities arrested Liu two days before the Charter's December 8, 2008 release and charged him with "inciting the subversion of state power." After declaring him guilty, a Chinese court sentenced Liu on Christmas Day 2009 to 11 years in prison.
The Nobel committee in particular cited Liu's pacifism in challenging communist China's human rights abuses and calling for democratic reforms.
Liu was nominated in part by eight U.S. lawmakers who praised his work and suffering for human rights in China.
On behalf of himself and seven other U.S. Congressman, Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) recommended that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee recognize not only Liu, but jointly award the prize to two other human rights activists, Chen Guangcheng and Gao Zhisheng, who have been persecuted specifically for fighting China's brutal policy of forced abortion and sterilizations under the "one-child" policy.
Chen is a blind self-taught lawyer, who took the burden upon himself to defend local Chinese peasant women from forced sterilization and their children from forced abortion by local government authorities.
Gao, a Beijing attorney committed to defending human rights in China, was one of Chen's lawyers. On February 4, 2009, Gao went missing under suspicious circumstances.
Geng He, Gao's wife, told the Associated Press that she has not spoken to her husband since April and fears for his safety.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has blasted the Nobel committee's selection of Liu, calling the award a "blasphemy" and Liu a "criminal."
"The Nobel Peace Prize is meant to award individuals who promote international harmony and friendship, peace and disarmament. Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who has been sentenced by Chinese judicial departments for violating Chinese law," the ministry said on its website. "Awarding the peace to Liu runs completely counter to the principle of the award and is also a blasphemy to the Peace Prize."
The AP reports that news of Liu's Nobel award has been blacked out in China. It added that Liu Xia, his wife, is guarded in her Beijing apartment by police, who have forbidden her from meeting with reporters.
Liu's wife, who is able to communicate by telephone and electronic media, told CNN that she intends to visit him in prison soon to inform him of the prize, and encourage him. She hopes to be able to visit Norway to collect the award on his behalf.
Last year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient was President Barack Obama, who was nominated shortly after his presidential inauguration. Obama praised Liu for his sacrifice in a statement and called upon Chinese authorities to release him from prison.
"By granting the prize to Mr. Liu, the Nobel Committee has chosen someone who has been an eloquent and courageous spokesman for the advance of universal values through peaceful and non-violent means, including his support for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law," said Obama.

Anyone else feel like it really is a tide that is turning these days? The American College of Nurse Midwives issued a statement in support of working towards quality, competent care for trans and gender non-conforming people. Woo-hoo! While it may seem like this is a no-brainer, it's actually a big step in the right direction for ensuring that trans people can find medical care that doesn't try to pathologize trans identity, and hopefully someday with providers who understand the needs of trans folks.
From the statement, issued in December of 2012:
It is the position of ACNM that midwives:
- Exhibit respect for patients with nonconforming gender identities and do not pathologize differences in gender identity or expression;
- Provide care in a manner that affirms patients' gender identities and reduces the distress of gender dysphoria or refer to knowledgeable colleagues;
- Become knowledgeable about the health care needs of transsexual, transgender, and gender nonconforming people, including the benefits and risks of gender affirming treatment options;
- Match treatment approaches to the specific needs of patients, particularly their goals for gender expression and need for relief from gender dysphoria;
- Have resources available to support and advocate for patients within their families and communities (schools, workplaces, and other settings).
That all sounds great to me. It's actually a really fabulous statement, much more comprehensive and far-reaching than the one issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists last year. It addresses the need for education about transgender issues in midwifery education, and even the fact that it enumerates the different identities: transgender, transsexual, gender variant, gender non-conforming, is a big step that I haven't seen many other medical bodies take.
This is my favorite part:
As many as half of gender variant individuals report having to educate their health care providers about their health care needs, but gender variant people do not by default have unique or complicated health issues. Most members of this community require the same primary, mental, and sexual health care that all individuals need. The most important thing all midwives can do to improve the health care outcomes of gender variant individuals is to use their skills to provide care that is welcoming and accessible.
Amen to that. I would say the same thing for doulas.
It's really incredible to witness the strides being made, while still acknowledging the serious barriers and often really challenging conditions that trans people face in the United States. A longform journalistic article I wrote for Political Research Associates was recently published, and in it I explored a new ad campaign run by the DC government that tries to address discrimination against transgender people by promoting trans respect and awareness. It was a pleasure to interview the many folks involved in working to improve conditions for trans people–it's clear just how much incredible activism has been happening, primarily led by trans folks themselves. But it was also a reminder of how far we have to go, and how trans and gender variant people face serious discrimination in pretty much every area of life. You can read the article here.
Lastly, another new resource from a group I used to work for, The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, about creating health care that is inclusive of trans and gender variant Latin@s.

To kick off the release of her new album, "Artpop," this week, the entertainer, never known for understatement, has been omnipresent.
She began with a huge release party Sunday where she debuted Volantis, billed as the "world's first flying dress." She floated about 6 feet above the floor before performing at the event, streamed live on Vevo.
The next day, she opened pop-up "Artpop" stores in New York and Los Angeles, where Gaga-related merchandise was sold, and she was one of the main honorees at Glamour's Women of the Year ceremony. On Wednesday, she was due to appear at the opening of an H&M store in New York's Times Square.
She's scheduled to tackle hosting and performance duties on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," and she redesigned the Life section logo of USA Today in her image - the first time the newspaper has had a celebrity do so. The newspaper also featured an interview with the superstar. And a concert special with Ryan Seacrest is set to air on the CW Network next week.
Gaga's publicity push leading up to the debut of "Artpop" could be described much like the singer herself - eye-catching, unique, daring and, of course, over the top. It comes amid mixed reviews for the album, the departure of her longtime manager and questions about whether Gaga-mania might be on the wane outside her core Little Monsters. The album's first single, "Applause," remains a top 10 hit, but was considered a bit of an underperformer compared with her previous hits.
Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director, thinks folks wondering if the 27-year-old is approaching her expiration date are missing the point.
"She's presenting an artistic view of pop music that's a lot more challenging than anything else that's even approaching the top of our charts now. She is risking her top success for the sake of art, and I think a lot of people don't get that," Werde said after viewing Sunday's show online.
"You have to really appreciate how conservative most pop fans are in the world. They don't necessarily want their music dipped in art. They don't want to see pop stars come out for a performance wearing a terrifying scarecrow mask," he added.
It's what we've come to expect from Gaga, however. Her career has been as much about performance art as music. After all, this is the woman who has paraded around in a dress made of meat, assumed a male alter-ego for an awards show, arrived at another in an egg and stripped naked onstage in Europe last month.
"She's definitely one of the most iconic artists that we have on the planet," said hitmaker David Guetta, who worked with Gaga on her new album. "I like the way that she works because she's just an artist. I don't see her as belonging to one school. She's just art. Even though it's pop music and it can some time have emotional (aspects), pop can also be very commercial. And I like the way that she's doing pop in a very artistic way."
Some have questioned how much her approach resonates these days, especially when Miley Cyrus draws weeks of headlines by twerking onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga's performance at that show barely rated a blip at the water cooler the next morning.
Gaga's supporters, though, warn against viewing her in the short term. They believe she's built something more durable. Kid Kelly, SiriusXM's vice president of music programming, hosted an interview session with Gaga last week that drew an eclectic crowd that ranged from pre-teen to middle age.
"She has a vision for what she does as an artist, but not necessarily like you're on the assembly line of creating formulaic hits," Kelly said. "She's a genius, the way she presents, the way she acts, the way she's thinking constantly about innovating and re-innovating herself, the way she is very, very forward thinking. She understands her audience I think better than most people give her credit for."
"Artpop" is Gaga's fourth full-length album, and comes after a forced hiatus. A hip injury sidelined her and forced her to cancel her tour last year. In a brief interview before her Sunday performance, Gaga said that time off gave her some perspective.
"You know what I realized? That I don't need to reinvent myself. What I realized is that in your lifetime, if you have one really great idea, run with it. And run all the way to outer space if you can," she said. "If you believe in yourself and you work hard, rehearse and have discipline, these ideas could take us to the moon."

As everyone knows, the United States initiated its nuclear-weapons program in response to Nazi Germany's. Though getting off to a strong start, just like the U.S. Manhattan Project, it may have become dispersed over too many departments. As well, nuclear physicists were skimmed off by the Wehrmacht's draft; others were Jews who fled Germany.
In The Diminishing Justice and Utility of Nuclear Deterrence, his contribution to Thinking About Strategy, A Tribute to Sir Michael Quinlan, George Perkovich of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace addresses Adolf Hitler's position as a driving force in the development of nuclear weapons. (Michael Quinlan served in the British government and was an academic and writer who believed in both nuclear weapons as well as just war and eventual disarmament.)
We often forget or just take for granted that the origins of nuclear weapons lie, in large part, with Hitler. To this day he remains the gift that keeps on giving for nuclear-weapons advocates. Perkovich explains three of the justifications Hitler continues to provide.
[1] Proponents of nuclear weapons tend to. … assert that even if it were feasible to achieve secure nuclear disarmament, it would be undesirable because without nuclear weapons the world would be more susceptible to large-scale aggression and war, whether nuclear or not. … In Sir Michael's words, "Even if all nuclear weapons had been scrapped, there would never be total assurance that a new Hitler would go down to defeat without building some and using them."
[2] Israel does not openly explain its possession of nuclear weapons, but as Avner Cohen [the expert on Israel's nuclear weapons — RW] has documented, the specter of Hitler stirred Ben Gurion's determination to acquire the ultimate defensive weapon.
[3] The ghost of Hitler is influential in France, too, for obvious historical reasons. In a June 2009 advertisement sponsored by the Ministry of Defense in the Nouvel Observateur commemorating the allied invasion of Normandy, a photograph of troops landing on the beach ran with a caption thanking the allies for liberating France and saying that France's nuclear deterrent would render such assistance unnecessary in the future.
As begins to come clear from the above excerpt, states already in possession of nuclear weapon have no qualms about using a Nazi Germany scenario as justification for their weapons. Perkovich again:
Since the Cold War ended, the states that enjoyed conventional military superiority over their competitors — namely, the U.S., France and the UK in NATO, and Israel — have felt a need to justify retaining these weapons and resisting pressures to lead global efforts to eliminate them. Hitler's ghost serves the purpose, projecting a massively monstrous threat that should make us thankful that nuclear weapons exist to keep it from ever appearing again.
Nothing worse than nuclear-weapons ingrates! Meanwhile, according to Timothy Snyder in Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Basic Books, 2010), Germany killed over 10 million noncombatants. Thus do nuclear weapons not only turn our leaders into Hitlers waiting to happen, but Hitler times two, three, or even five or more.
