CFIA recalls another peanut snack product

1 day ago

OTTAWA — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has added another U.S.-made peanut snack product to its recall list related to the salmonella outbreak in the United States.

The latest item being recalled is the Titan six-layer crunch bar in sample size, single bar and 12-pack boxes. The CFIA said the bars may have been distributed across Canada.

There have been no confirmed illnesses in Canada associated with the consumption of affected peanut products.

The salmonella outbreak has been blamed for at least eight deaths and 575 illnesses in 43 states and more than 1,550 products have been recalled in the U.S.

The CFIA agency has posted a list of recalled products on its website, as well as links to the websites of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Petsmart and the Canadian Humane Society, which list recalled pet treats.

I was trying to get a ticket to see Faith Prince (Alex Rybeck--music director) I left a couple of messages and no callback. I will have to try next week. I have to admit I was disappoint with no call back.

Whom did you call? Faith or Alex? -No need to be "disappoint".

Chuck Mangione's Bandmates Die in Fatal Crash
Posted Feb 13th 2009 1:10PM by TMZ Staff

Two members of Chuck Mangione's band were among those who died in the plane crash in Buffalo last night.

A publicist for the famous jazz musician identified the band members as Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett. Through a rep, Mangione said, "I'm in shock over the horrible, heartbreaking tragedy."

The band was supposed to play a show in Buffalo tonight. That show has been canceled.

How very strange. I have had LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE running through my head all day today.

...And just a few days ago, a friend of mine was talking about "Feels So Good" and how that tune, well, made him feel so good. And then I asked him if he had ever heard Liz Callaway's version of "Land of Make Believe"...

I just received word this morning of a new thread where this insufferable putz™ is attempting to "edumacate" me about the musical version of Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Pluh---eeze.

Well, has anyone tried to edumcate you about the use of em dashes, particularly when you are commenting upon them?

"The Roar of the Greasepaint--The Smell of the Crowd" doesn't hack it

The Roar of the Greasepaint—The Smell of the Crowd works

If you are using Word, you need to set your auto-correct options to convert double hyphens to em dashes; alternatively, you can create "—" by typing ALT 0151.

Sincerely,

The Insufferable Pendent, der Brucer

Note: sometimes Word documents that have embedded "auto-correct" em dashes do not correcty import into other programs - particularly those used on the WWW.

Don't you mean "insufferable pedant" rather than "pendent"? I don't think I'd ever — not even in my WILDEST delusional states — envision you as an adornment that hangs from a piece of jewelry.

Actually... DR Ron Pulliam, what you are referring to is a "pendant".

A "pendent" is defined as follows: Relating to the concave triangular segments composing the structure of a dome, something pendent may be viewed as any member of a support system (i.e: a section of a dome; or, organically, a parent/guardian in a nuclear family).

*Bonus question: Can you name one or two songs from the musical theatre canon that contains the word "pedant" in the lyric.

I may have shared this charming anecdote before, but I learned to read and write phonetically. When I was in the first grade, we had a "newspaper" (The First Grade Times--I named it meself, guv'nah) where all the kids wrote little articles. I wrote a little ditty about my Dad's exploits in the war, and how my mom hoped my Dad was never in another war. Except that I spelled it "whore."

So, were both spellings "applicable"?

Had a very eclectic evening of viewing.

I began by finishing the last two MURDER SHE WROTE episodes in the box set. DR JRand will be interested to know that Carroll Baker was the principal guest star in the season finale. Her husband William Katt was having an affair with Carroll's personal assistant. Thing didn't end well for several of them.

I watched a dvd tonight, courtesy of DR JMK. You were right, this is one helluva good show. . .and its length does indeed leave you wanting more.

Is it the actual word "pedant" or some form like pedantic or pedants?

Next, I got a jump start on my work project for tomorrow and watched SHADOWS. I had never seen this before, and while I could certainly see its revolutionary quality with in-your-face improvised filming and acting, right in the streets of NYC, many of the actors were painfully bad at improv. Themes are introduced that don't get explored in any meaningful way. (dating across color lines, losing one's virginity, frustrations in trying to get a foothold in show business), and I found myself growing impatient with its determined lack of interest in story or character, as if simply filming in the streets was enough to insure something of interest. In 1960, I'm sure it was different, but 50 years later, not so much.

Next, I watched last night's 30 ROCK. One of the more hilarious episodes in its history. I really laughed a lot; there are some truly great lines in the episode, taking place on Valentine's Day.

I ended my evening with tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. Not one of the more memorable episodes for me. I don't understand why Melinda felt the need to lie to Sam/Jim. It's a small town and her lies were sure to be revealed.

I'm going to write just a small little amount and then head down to bed.

You can buy the sinktops and vanities at Lowe's or Home Depot for a few hundred dollars.

Now see, that would be do-able. The kitchen places all talk about $15,000 - $25,000 to redo a kitchen - that is just crazy talk as far as I am concerned!

Our kitchen appliances, which were on-sale, distressed merchandise, ran over $7,000!

Back from rehearsal - all three hours of it, most of which was spent with me rewriting and adding and subtracting to the patter - which, if he got all my changes written down correctly, will be funny, to the point, and not too labored. As always, I make the performer write the stories and ideas, then I shape it and add the humor. Since he'd never sent me a final copy to work on I had to do it on the fly as we went - but I'm good at that and it came out pretty well. I think we're going to make one huge cut in the set - a five-minute non put-together of three R&H ballads that comes way too early in the show.
