Superbugs, Antibiotics & Fear

Friday, February 29th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Nick_Arrizza,_M.D.] Nick Arrizza, M.D. I was witness to a TV program last evening on the rising crisis in Peru with multi drug resistant strains of the tuberculosis. This is another example of the “super bugs” that we are increasingly being threatened by in North America and Europe. During the program a number of pharmaceutical representatives as well as physicians were raising fears that these super bugs could get out of control if legislation is not relaxed to allow drug companies to produce more cost effective alternative antibiotics for treating these new strains. I need to say, that as a physician, who was taught to prescribe antibiotics during my medical training in the 1980’s I was acutely cognizant of the risks that over prescribing such agents could pose. Specifically, for those who don’t already know, the risk of creating and nurturing the proliferation of drug resistant strains of bacteria. Sure enough, now 20 years later we are seeing exactly what I and others recognized could happen, a crisis of global proportions that is threatening to envelop the entire globe. Although I find it unconscionable to see these drug company representatives and their physician supporters promoting the same solution (i.e. more and newer antibiotics) that caused the problem in the first place there is a more serious problem here There is deeper level to which we can take this matter and one which may help release the global population from the scourge of having to become guinea pigs for another mass antibiotic experiment. Let me explain. It is interesting how many choose to accept the faulty logic presented above by drug companies who employ the “fear of death” card to manipulate individuals into taking such toxic agents into their bodies (and please don’t take my word for it just look at the thickness of any physicians drug desk reference; over 90% of it listing potential drug side-effects) after contracting a bacterial infection. The fear of dying, in my view, is the very thing that is the foundation of the problem that created the super bug issue. It is this fear of death that leads many to lose their sense of judgment and ultimately winds up killing them. Interesting, isn’t it, that the “fear of death” does just what some “think” it is supposed to protect them from? This is because the “fear of death”, if you notice what it feels like to be consumed by it, it leaves one feeling terrified, paralyzed, confused, indecisive, drained of energy, weak willed, helpless and ultimately vulnerable to being maimed. In other words it sets one up “for” dying! Here I am reminded of a nurse working in my city in Canada during the SARS crisis. After she contracted and eventually became the first to succumb to the illness it was recounted how frightened she was before hand that she might have such a fate. In other words it has the potential to become a self fulfilling prophesy/fact. But, as I said, you probably thought the converse, didn’t you? Well then, which is the truth? Does it protect or does it harm? I will leave this for you to ponder. I will suggest that it is possible to find another way out of this problem and if you wish to entertain it you are free to contact me at the web link below for an introductory consultation.

Your Strategic Thinking Coach Shares Six Smart Marketing Strategies For Professional Service Firms

Friday, February 29th, 2008

By Glenn Ebersole Over the past 35 years, I have observed many professional service firms struggle with their marketing efforts. Time after time I would witness a firm spending large sums of money doing the wrong type of marketing to the wrong market segment with the wrong marketing message and with the wrong marketer. And to see failed after failed attempt at marketing. On the other hand, I also got to see some very smart marketing done for the right reasons, to the right markets, with the right message and with the right marketer with very solid results. Too many professionals continue to think that everyone is a potential client, rather than selecting a targeted market and niche. The very successful professionals think strategically and use some smart marketing strategies. Here are six smart marketing strategies for professional service firms from your strategic thinking coach. 1. Select a highly targeted market or niche for your professional services. Focus on one target or niche at a time. 2. Develop a compelling and memorable marketing message. Determine your USP Unique Selling Proposition and integrate it into your marketing messages. 3. Identify the frustration that someone has doing business with professional service firms and then develop your way of taking away that frustration of the client by having them do business with your firm. 4. Establish yourself or someone in your firm as an authority or expert on various issues and subjects. After you or someone else in your firm is established, then key influencers and decision makers will come to you when they need help. 5. Develop a list of your 100 Most Desired Clients. Then create a message, a method of message delivery, timing of the message delivery, a follow-up process to each contact with an effective contact management system and an evaluation system for measuring the effectiveness of your marketing strategies and efforts. 6. Develop and implement a networking strategy and an effective referral system to achieve Top Of Mind Awareness of your professional services firm and to keep your target market alive and well! These six smart strategies are really simple and have awesome power to produce significant results for any professional service firm.

Understanding The Human Growth Hormone

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michelle_Bery] Michelle Bery Produced in the human body naturally, the human growth hormone (HGH) consists of a multifaceted network of amino acids and is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. The human growth hormone is vitally important to our bodies as it stimulates and regulates growth, promotes cell regeneration, and orchestrates metabolism. In children and adolescents, the human growth hormone is responsible for controlling height gradually bringing young people to the height they will remain. This occurs as the human growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland, stimulating the liver and other tissues to stimulate bone growth and muscle mass. The human growth hormone also controls protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. We can significantly affect the operation of the human growth hormone in this capacity by making lifestyle choices that will support the production of HGH. This includes a diet of natural, whole foods as well as a consistent exercise program, adequate sleep, and stress management. Normal levels of the human growth hormone will keep us in balance throughout our lifetime; but there are those conditions that result from an under - or over - production of HGH. For some children who have less than normal levels of the human growth hormone, growth will be stunted. Adults who suffer from inadequate levels of HGH experience fatigue, inability to metabolize fat, and muscle weakness. In these cases, both children and adults are treated with human growth hormone supplements to help bring their bodies back into balance. When there is an over production of the human growth hormone in children, Giantism can result wherein growth is rapid and continuous. The over production of HCG in adults is most often attributed to pituitary tumors and can be extremely serious. Known as Acromegaly, this condition can result in the thickening of cranial bones, the enlargement of extremities and rib cage, and even the enlargement of the heart. Doctors treat both conditions with medication that blocks the release of the human growth hormone. In some severe cases, surgery must be performed to remove a portion of the pituitary gland. In normal situations, the production of the human growth hormone drops off after we reach our permanent height and then stays consistent throughout our life until we begin to age. The aging process includes the diminishing of the human growth hormone resulting in a loss of bone and muscle mass, as well as an increase of fat deposits, and overall frailty. However, people can combat these effects of aging by remaining active and living a healthy lifestyle.

The Dental Marketing Strategy

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

By Steve B The dental marketing strategy you choose will directly affect the amount of money your dental practice makes in any given year. Find out here how to optimize your dental marketing planto make use of the latest in advertising technique and technology. The yellow pages have been the mainstay of a good dental marketing strategy, but things arenot going to stay that way. Yellow page advertising is still used by many when seeking theservices of a dentist, but now more and more go online to seek a dentist. The yellow pagesare a mystery for most who use it to advertise. How do you know how effective it is to advertisethere ? The bottom line for any dental marketing strategy is to know your Return On Investment.Unless you ask your clients : ” Did you find me in the yellow pages ?” you may never know justhow your clients find you, and therefore will not know how effective it was to use the yellow pages. Email marketing is just the opposite. A successful dental marketing strategy uses all available means to reach new clients. Email marketingis today one of the most lucrative of ways to establish a viable, effective dental marketing plan. Email marketing is by far the best Return On Investment for the advertising dollar. Lets compare the yellow pages with email marketing : You pay a hefty fee to get into the yellow pages, you pay very little to start an email marketing program. Both yellow page users and web users will usually have “money in hand”, but the web surfers aregenerally in a higher income bracket. Which would you rather market to ? Avoid the dead-beat payersand use email marketing in your dental marketing strategy. You have competition in the yellow pages from other dental practices, especially if you have yourwork in a large city. You are less likely to be found in the yellow pages if this is so. Email marketingcan give you first place and drive laser-targeted seekers if you know how to take advantage of it. You canbeat the “information overload” of the yellow pages and dominate your local competition, again, IFyou know how. If you collect information from past clients who used the yellow pages to find you, you may get their phone number and address. With email marketing you never pay again to contact your past clients. You literally can pay one time and use their email again and again. If you only have their phone number or address, you more than likely will get a recording if you call or have to pay postage to send out your “special”. Having a “special” is as easy as sending out a few emails for free with email marketing. Its certainly a better way to generate a little quick cash than having to call or send a letter. Your dental marketing strategy will also use radio, TV, post cards, flyers, and other means. I can say withconfidence that email marketing is superior to these also in terms of your Return on Investment. But I willsave that for another article.

A More Sure Word

Monday, February 25th, 2008

By Mark E. Baker 2 Peter 1:17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”18. And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19. We also have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your heart. Peter heard the audible voice of God on the holy mountain, yet he goes on to say, We also have the prophetic word made more sure. Hes talking about the written Word of God, being more sure than the audible voice of God heard from the holy mountain. This is a more sure Word. Many people seek such things, signs and visible manifestations wanting to hear from God, when all you have to do is pick up your Bible and read it! This is the surest Word there is. It doesnt get any surer than this! Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. This is the sure Word of God, it doesnt fail, it doesnt return void. It always accomplishes that which it was sent to do. Always, not occasionally, not when God is in the mood. He never changers, Hes always the same. He is consistently consistent. That sounds like a Yogi Bera-ism, but it makes a point. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God tells us in His Word, that there is no variableness of change in Him. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. — New Revised Standard with ApocryphaJames 1:17 Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Hebrews 1:10. And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands; 11. They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; 12. Like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.” We can see just from these few scriptures that God is always consistent. You can see that He is faithful to do what He said He would do. In other words, He fulfills His Word. His Word will not fail. His Word will not return void. That would make Him a liar if it did, and He cant lie!!!! Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken,and will He not make it good? This is a question to us. Gods written Word is to us, will He not perform it? Will He not make it good. Thank God, He will. Thank God, we can depend on Him, thank God, He is faithful. Thank God, thank God. Whether we feel like it or not, the Word of the Lord is a sure thing. Prov:2:1: My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, 2. so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; 3. yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, 4. If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; 5. then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. Prov:4:4: He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; keep my commands, and live. Prov:4:20: My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; 22. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. 23. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 24. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. Prov:7:1: My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. God’s Word is a sure thing, but we havent always walked in it, we havent always obeyed His voice and followed His instructions. Have you ever considered how strong the Scripture is concerning this. Gods Word absolutely cannot fail, ever!Then why arent we walking in miracles and healing and divine prosperity all the time? God’s Word will not return void, but are we doing what He told us to do in His Word to cause the results He wants? As we just read in proverbs we are given commandment, to give attention to His words, receive His words, and treasure His commands within us, not to let them depart from our eyes; to keep them in the midst of our heart, let our hearts retain His words; keep His commands, and live. If we treasure His commands within us, so that we incline our ear to wisdom, and apply our heart to understanding; if we cry out for discernment, and lift up our voice for understanding, If we seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then we will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. God’s Word tells us that His people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge, yet it also tells us how we can get knowledge. Jesus said, to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32. Knowing is another way of saying having knowledge. If we abide in His Word Firstly, then secondly we shall know the truth, and then in that knowing the truth shall make us free. Jesus called this discipleship. Abiding in his Word, and knowing the truth, and being free because of it. Abiding is to continue there in.Do all Christians walk in freedom? The answer to that is assuredly No! Has this freedom been given to all Christians? The answer to that is assuredly Yes! Jesus was talking to the Jews, who believed Him but just because they believed him did not give them a free ride, He told them, the ones who believed, that they had to abide in his Word before they would know the truth. Many Christians who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, dont know the truth of much of Gods Word. They lack knowledge concerning His promises. They dont know the truth or wont acknowledge it, therefore they havent been abiding in His Word, and therefore they cant be made free. Jms:1:25: But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. Many people think you prove your faith by your works, — Ive seen people do all kinds of works, thinking that those works will prove their faith, yet many times all they have, is works without faith. This is not to say there shouldnt be corresponding action with our faith, but the works by themselves arent necessarily the result of faith. Faith will produce the works, but works will not produce the faith. I hope you see my point in this. So let us not get caught up in trying to produce faith by our works, it doesnt work that way, works must always be accompanied with faith. God’s Word will never fail, yet we have to come to a place where we have full confidence in his Word if we are ever going to walk in the knowledge of His truth, and experience the true freedom that comes from knowing the truth. This can only come from a confidence that is created in us from truly abiding in His precious promises. 2Pt:1:4: by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. We have a part to play in this, we have to partake. In order to do that we must walk in obedience and believe His Word to be true, this becomes easier as we draw closer to Him. Deuteronomy 7:8 “but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. God’s Word is on the line, let’s put Him to the test and see that He will make good on what He has said. The first step is to know for sure that you are a child of God, you start by earnestly praying this prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. Your word says, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. (Jn.6:37), So I know You wont cast me out, but You take me in, And I thank you for it. You said in your Word, “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Ro. 10:13).I am calling on Your name, So I know You have saved me now, You also said, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. (Ro.10:9,10).I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification. And I confess Him now as my Lord, Because Your Word says, with the heart one believes to righteousness and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21),And I am saved! Thank You, Lord!I can now truthfully say, I see myself as a born again child of God! Glory to God!!!! Amen. I was raised Catholic, and was born again at the age of 17. I received God’s call into ministry at the age of 19 and began to prepare for ministry. I graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center in 1979. The Lord has called me to teach. My desire is to help all that are seeking to come into a deeper understanding of what God has done for us through Christ Jesus and I have started a web site for this purpose called The Olive Branch; Please visit us for more free studies and resources to help you on your journey.Mark Bakerhttp://www.olivebranchministries.us Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Mark_E._Baker http://EzineArticles.com/?A-More-Sure-Word&id=314377 ataxia zolpidem ambien drug interactions zolpidem tartrate extended release 5 htp ambien

Weight Loss and the Choices You Make - What’s Behind the Two Doors?

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

By Dean Carlson Oftentimes on our journey toward healthier living we are faced with choices, two doors, if you will. Behind one door is a path that leads us closer to where we want to be, and the other door leads us in the other direction. When confronted with these choices, or doors, I would suggest there are three possible courses of action. Do Nothing By far the most popular choice, because it is the easiest. Change is difficult. Remember back to science class, where we learned Newtons laws of motions? The first law went something like this - objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Sounds more like the first law of why I have no energy and two chins! Reminds me of something that Einstein said - “Nothing happens until something moves”. I think we can agree that “Do Nothing” is not particularly helpful to reaching our goals. Reinvent the Wheel Ahh yes, we all like to be innovators. I can figure it out by myself, we say, how hard can it be? Well to be blunt, how are you doing with that? How long have you been trying to lose the weight, or gain the muscle, or eat a healthier diet on your own? Yes, there is a tremendous amount of information out there, just Google “weight loss” and you will come up with about 71,500,000 results. I am not sure how many calories you can burn by reading, but you are going to be there for awhile. It think it was Vince Gironda who said “If you could do it yourself, you would have done it by now”. Which leads me to: Ask someone who knows It really can be that simple. Ask someone who has been there, had success, and knows how to communicate that success to you. Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, wrote “There is nothing new under the sun”, and that is a fact. We all learn from someone. That being said, there are better ways to do things, and more efficient ways to get things done. I dont know the first thing about fixing a car engine, and if I tried I would probably do more harm than good. Your body is a whole lot more complicated than the most exotic sports car. Doesnt it make sense to seek someone out who knows how to tune your body for peak performance? Remember Newton’s law? We didn’t talk about the second half - Things in motion tend to stay in motion. Once you make the choice to get moving, it is easier to stay moving. In fact, once you build up momentum, you are unstoppable! I would urge you to make the choice, get the help you need, and get moving today! About Dean: Fed up with the way he looked and felt, Dean Carlson decided enough was enough. After wading through the conflicting diet and fitness information, and through much trial and error, he found himself 80 pounds lighter and with a new outlook on life. His desire to help other people get healthy and fit without going it alone led him to start Cr8 Health & Fitness, where he shares his knowledge and passion for fitness with others looking to get off the diet roller coaster.

How To Promote Your Business To Thousands While You Drive

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

By Juan Rodriguez Villa Whether you are a sales professional or the proud owner of an Internet or brick-and-mortar business, there is a wonderful way to deliver your message to thousands of motorists and pedestrians every day. You can stick small and fancy plates in the back of your car. These little plates will work hard for you in downtown traffic, on a crowded freeway or even while you’re parked at the mall. Imagine the impact of having your website address, e-mail address, company name, phone number and business message seen thousands of times every day in major city traffic. Assuming the average person drives to and from work daily in rush hour traffic in a large city, EACH plate you display in your car will be seen and understood a minimum of 3,000 times per day. These are called “impressions”. Start figuring the cost. Assume the average car owner will keep their vehicle for 3 years. 3,000 impressions per day X 365 days = 1,095,000 impressions per year (X 3 years = 3,285,000 impressions per plate!). Forget bumper stickers and other cheap, cheesy decals. The small plates I am talking about are available in elegant polished chrome or a luxurious gold matte finish and are carefully hand assembled to your text specifications. They mount safely to your vehicle and have been road tested in the frigid Canadian north and in dry desert heat. Your plate can be run through hundreds of car washes and will probably outlast your car! In my research I have found out this as one of the best ways to promote your business or website while your effort is simply driving your car as you do every day. The cost of this small displays compared to their effect and millions of views of your business name is simply ridiculous. Juan Rodriguez Villa is a consultant specializing in online and offline marketing. He has studied and researched deeply about the impact of offline promotion of the online business.

Simple Trout Fishing

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

By Lee McPherron Here’s a really simple way… to catch stream trout usingyour spinning rod. If you have ever wanted to fish for trout in a stream butare frustrated by the thought of equipping, learning, andmastering fly casting, here is an alternative. You can beon a stream, fishing and catching trout with a minimum ofexpense and frustration. All trout respond to salmon eggs used for bait. This method of fishing salmon eggs is simple, deadly, anddoes not kill the trout. Almost all the trout hooked willbe caught in the mouth, just like fishing with the fly. The few components can be purchased at any fishing supplystop, even at a fly fishing shop. Your shopping list of items to start is very short. Theheart of the method is to use a very small float as a strikeindicator to float the salmon eggs naturally in the currentof the stream. The small Styrofoam floats used as strike indicators for flyfishing nymphs are ideal. Purchase a few floats that are1/4 inch to 3/8 inch in diameter. The purpose of the floatis to indicate when a trout takes the salmon egg. Beneath the float about 12 inches attach a very sharp hook.The first choice in hooks are the extremely sharp Gamatszuhook in size eight. If these are not available, Owner hooksare just as good. A distant third choice is the Eagle Claw Laser sharp brandof hooks. You may need some very small split shot weights if the lineon your spinning reel is larger than six pound test. If you need to add weight to the rig to cast it, place onevery small, 1/8 inch, split shot directly below the float. This will provide a little casting weight without killingthe natural action of the salmon egg. Salmon eggs are the first choice for bait. The bright red processed salmon eggs are found almost everywhere fishing supplies are sold in trout country. The GreenLabel Patzutkes brand are a favorite. These are usually lessthan 1/4 inch in diameter. Place two or three of thesesalmon eggs on the hook. It is not necessary to cover theentire length of the size 8 hook. The casting style is a “flip” of the bait into the water. Merely swing the bait with the bail open on your spinningreel or button held down on the spin cast reel. Control theline with your hand that does not hole the rod. This isexactly the same technique that bass fishermen call”flipping”. The casting distance is only a few feet atbest. Flip the float into the head of an eddy or just behind arock. Let the float be carried down stream until thecurrent straightens out your line and the salmon egg isforced to the top of the water. The strike is very subtle. When a trout takes a salmon egg, the float will quickly dipunder the water. This “dip” will happen quickly and thenthe float will surface and continue downstream as normal. Set the hook as soon as you see the “dip”. A lot of thetime you will have a trout hooked in the lip or the cornerof the mouth. The trout can be returned unharmed to thewater if you are practicing catch and release. At first, you may set the hook and simply pull the float andhook away with nothing. This is very common until youdevelop the “feel” for striking quickly. Set the hook atevery indication of a “dip” and you will be surprised at howmany trout you will hook. This method can be used with a fly. If you are fishing in a restricted “fly and lure only”water, replace the salmon eggs with a size 14 or 16 darkcolored nymph fly. The same technique is used to presentthe fly but the strike of the trout will be even slighterand quicker. You will have a lot more misses as the trouttake and reject the fly very quickly. The salmon egg makes them hold on a bit longer so that youhave time to react. ———————————————————— This method can produce a lot of trout for very littleoutlay of cash and time. You will be amazed at the number of trout you can hookstanding in one spot. If you fish quietly, a good feedingrun will produce several trout. Practice conservation please.

Scientology Freezone Expansion

Friday, February 15th, 2008

By Michael J Moore The scientology freezone seems to be entering an era reminiscent of the early days of Scientology and Dianetics. More and more people are finding their way to the freezone. Some perhaps are dissatisfied with the official church and seeking a viable alternative. Most new to scientology and curious about it but reluctant to walk into a scientology church preferring to browse from their armchair instead. The International Freezone Association, http://internationalfreezone.net reports an increasing number of enquiries about scientology from people who are curious and want to know what it is all about. Each time Tom Cruise and his family feature in the news, more people spring to the internet to find out, What is this scientology?. Many others find their way to the scientology freezone either through existing scientology Freezone websites, groups or discussion lists. In short, the scientology freezone is experiencing a growth with record enquiries to all the major groups. And there are many groups working towards a purpose of getting themselves fully acquainted with and able to use the philosophy. Whereas it can take many many years for those parishioners under the influence of the church, many in the freezone enjoy the results of being able to make significant progress in weeks and months rather than years, according to a recent spate of success stories. It also seems that any remaining differences between the various groups is overshadowed by the overall purpose to preserve the philosophy and use it to help people improve their lives. The freezone is collectively a group in its own right of scientologists who practice the applied working philosophy of Ron Hubbard and are not held down by the fixed idea of copyright and trademark being more important than the spiritual development of mankind, but are free to pursue the working philosophy all the way to the top one way or another. The freezone truly is the Free Zone of scientology. For more information go to http://internationalfreezone.net Knowledge and the application of it are all is available from the various groups. Yes there are some differences and there may be some questions between the groups but the overriding purpose and intention remains true and something I personally believe Ron would be proud of. While the church is now the remnants of the past, the scientology freezone is the vanguard to scientologys future. Permission to use this article is granted provided links are included.

Sweetbreads, Shortcake, Shortbread

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

By Ann Zuccardy Okay, it’s time to clear up the shortbread confusion once and for all. Today I went to a pot luck party. I brought tourtiere, a traditional French Canadian meat pie that my grandmother used to make. One guy said, “Aw man…you didn’t bring your sweetbreads!” To this I replied, “Nope, that would have been OFFAL!” No one got my play on words, but I was pretty pleased with myself. People call my product (shortbread) all kinds of things. Allow me to offer a brief explanation of the difference between sweetbreads, shortcake and shortbread so that next time you order, you’ll know what to ask for! Sweetbreads are animal innards. Often they are made from the thymus or pancreas of a piglet or calf. They have no relation to shortbread. I have tried sweetbreads at a fancy restaurant and found them pretty darn good. I had to try them once! I have no clue where the name sweetbread comes from. Vermont Shortbread Company does not produce sweetbreads. Shortcake is a sweet biscuit. It’s typically crumbly and made with flour, sugar, butter or some other fat, milk or cream and baking soda or baking powder. Strawberry shortcake (fresh strawberries and whipped cream thrown on top of one of these biscuits) is a favorite summer dessert for Americans. Shortbread (my gourmet food product), is a traditional Scottish cookie made from butter, sugar, and flour. Our version at Vermont Shortbread Company contains a lot of butter, giving it a slightly chewy texture. We fill our shortbread with jam fillings (raspberry or strawberry), chocolate, lemon curd, walnut cinnamon, almond, or leave it plain with no filling (traditional shortbread). I’ve seen shortbread in many forms - a large round “cake” (we call it a gift box at VSC) baked in a mold that gives it a pretty design with scored triangular wedges called petticoat tails, small round cookies, or “fingers” (long rectangular pieces). At Vermont Shortbread Company, we make a shortie which is a 4″ round shortbread baked in a tart pan. In summary, shortbread is an elegant, classic, old fashioned and simple dessert that has become a Christmas favorite for many people, tall and short. Enjoy your sweetbreads and shortcake, but BUY some shortbread. That’s the long and short of it. Copyright 2006, Ann Zuccardy.
