Darlene when I used to do milking we always milked from the right side. Also if the cow keeps kicking you can put a set of hobbles on her rear feet if she will let you. Usually after she gets use to the hobbles they will stop kicking, at least that's my experience.

Multistate Outbreak of Listeriosis Linked to Imported Frescolina Brand Ricotta Salata Cheese
Recall
On September 10, 2012, Forever Cheese, Inc. voluntarily recalled one lot of Frescolina brand ricotta salata cheese due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The recalled cheese was sold to distributors for retailers and restaurants in California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington between June 20, 2012 and August 9, 2012.
The recall affects lot number T9425 and/or production code 441202. Products were sold to supermarkets, restaurants and wholesale distributors.
Advice to Consumers
Contaminated ricotta salata cheese has made people sick.
•CDC recommends that consumers not eat imported Frescolina brand ricotta salata cheese. This is especially important for pregnant women, persons with weakened immune systems, and older adults.
•Even if some of the cheese has been eaten without anyone becoming ill, the rest of the cheese should be disposed of immediately.
•When in doubt, throw it out. (See disposal recommendations below)
How do I recognize the contaminated cheese?
•The recalled cheese is labeled Frescolina brand ricotta salata cheese. It is a product of Italy. Consumers should consult with their retailer if they have questions about the origin of cheese.
•Be aware that the recalled cheese has a 4 month shelf life, so contaminated cheese may still be in consumer’s refrigerators and may still be for sale in stores.
•Ricotta salata cheese is often served crumbled or grated as an ingredient in some dishes.•Ricotta salata is a salty white cheese made from pasteurized sheep’s milk. Note: It is not the same as ricotta cheese, which is a very soft cheese often sold in plastic tubs.
Contaminated cheese may still be in consumers' homes.
Listeria can grow in cut cheese at room and refrigerator temperatures. Listeria can also spread to other cheeses cut and served on the same cutting board or stored in the same area.
•Follow these simple steps if recalled cheese is or was in your home:
◦Dispose of cheese in a closed plastic bag placed in a sealed trash can. This will prevent people and animals from eating it.
◦Wash the cheese drawer and other areas where the cheese was stored in the refrigerator with hot water and soap. Sanitize the area with a solution of one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to one gallon of hot water.
◦Wash cutting boards, surfaces, and utensils used to cut, serve, or store cheese. If possible, use a dishwasher; otherwise, use hot water and soap, followed by sanitizing with a dilute bleach solution described above.
◦Wash hands with warm water and soap following the cleaning and sanitation process.
Who is most at risk?
•Listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women and their newborn infants, persons with weakened immune systems, and older adults.
•Persons who think they might have become ill from eating contaminated cheese should consult their doctor immediately. People can sometimes develop listeriosis even up to two months after eating contaminated food.
More information about the recalled cheese is available here.
For more information about listeriosis and recommendations to reduce your risk of getting sick go to CDC's Listeriosis webpage on prevention.
Advice to Cheese Retailers and Establishments
Contaminated cheese may still be in stores and restaurants.
Listeria can grow in cut cheese at room and refrigerator temperatures. Listeria can also spread to other cheeses cut and served on the same cutting board or stored in the same area.
•Do not sell or serve recalled Frescolina brand ricotta salata cheese distributed by Forever Cheese, Inc. If you do not know the source of your ricotta salata cheese, check with your supplier.
◦Dispose of recalled cheese.
◦Wash and sanitize cheese display cases and refrigerators where contaminated cheese was stored.
◦Wash and sanitize cutting boards, surfaces, and utensils used to cut, serve, or store contaminated cheese.
◦Wash hands with warm water and soap following the cleaning and sanitation process.

Now there you go Mt. Rider, spoiling my plans. I have not made one mention about the night manuvers this time. I just knew that I could talk Melissa into at least a two mile hike since she would be standing near me and if I happened to just wander off a little ways she would follow. No one else seems to want to do any manuvers and I just knew I would have at least one person to keep me company this time! Hey Melissa, if ya wanna go on manuvers remember to pack your camo.

Death of Child Prompts Recall of Window Blinds by Blind Xpress
Two-year-old strangles in cord
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Blind Xpress of Livonia, Mich. is announcing the recall of about 139,000 custom-made vertical and 315,000 horizontal blinds. In 2009, a 2-year-old girl from Commerce Township, Mich. reportedly strangled in the loop of a vertical blind cord that was not attached to the wall or floor.
Blind Xpress custom vertical blinds have an adjustment cord that forms a loop that is not attached to the wall or floor. In some instances, this loop has a weighted device at the bottom. The custom horizontal blinds do not have inner cord stop devices to prevent the accessible inner cords from being pulled out. A child can become entangled in a cord loop and strangle.
This recall involves all Blind Xpress custom-made vertical blinds that do not have a cord-tensioning device that attaches to the wall or floor, as well as all horizontal blinds that do not have inner cord stop devices.
The blinds were sold at various blind specialty stores in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana from January 1995 through December 2011 for between $16 and $380. These blinds were manufactured in the United States.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the window coverings and contact the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) to receive a free repair kit. For more information, contact the WCSC toll-free at (800) 506-4636 anytime or visit www.windowcoverings.org

Cutting Edge Concessions Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Milk and Red 40 in 5 oz Shake'Ems Seasoning Cups
Contact:
Consumer:
952-237-1551
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 3, 2012 - Cutting Edge Concessions issues an allergy alert on undeclared milk and red 40 in .5 oz. Shake'Ems seasoning cups distributed in movie theaters in California, Colorado, Arkansas and Tennessee. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The products were distributed in a .5 oz. plastic cup labeled with Shake'Ems on the top. Flavors include: White Cheddar, Nacho Cheddar, Ranch, Cinnamon Sugar and Parmesan Garlic.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after the FDA discovered that the products contain milk and red 40, but product packaging did not reveal the presence of these ingredients. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s labeling process.
Production of the product has been suspended until the FDA and the company are certain that the problem has been corrected.
Consumers who have purchased 0.5 oz. packages of Shake'Ems are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 952-237-1551 M-F 8:00 am – 5 pm EST.

(Sun Inc) announced today that it is voluntarily recalling from users one lot of Nimodipine Capsules, 30 mg, marketed by Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd.

When we would eat them fresh, my mother would cook them with a couple slices of bacon for flavoring. They did't cook near as long as dried ones. As far as putting them in the dehydrator, I would think it should work fine. Look here for info on drying them: http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/dry/csu_dry_vegetables.pdf
This does not tell the blanching time but I would use the information on green beans to process limas. Maybe Violet will stop in and tell us what to do.

1-888-234-2595
info@brandnewenergy.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 30, 2012 - Brand New Energy ("BNE"), dietary supplement re-sale distributor, is recalling all lot codes of EphBurn 25. The recall was initiated on August 28, 2012, after notification by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to a third-party retailer which purchased EphBurn 25 that one lot of EphBurn 25 was sampled by the FDA and found to contain ephedrine alkaloids, making it an unapproved drug.
Ephedrine is commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, and decongestant, and it has been used to help aid in weight loss. The ephedrine alkaloids work mainly by increasing the activity of noradrenaline on adrenergic receptors. A number of adverse effects associated with ephedrine alkaloid-containing dietary supplements have been reported to the FDA. These include elevated blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, nerve damage, muscle injury, and psychosis and memory loss. More serious effects have also been reported, including heart attack, stroke, seizure and death. There have been no reports of adverse events associated with this recalled product.
This recall affects all lot codes and use by dates of EphBurn 25. The product is a 90-count bottle with red capsules and prominently displays the product name "ephBURN 25" in white letters on the front of a red label. There is no UPC code. EphBurn 25 was previously discontinued on or about May of 2012.
BNE is a reseller of nationally-known diet and energy supplements such as Zantrex 3, Trim Spa, Hydroxy Cut and others. The product subject to recall, EphBurn 25, was distributed to various retail stores nationwide, and the product was sold via the Internet from the period of time of approximately April 2010 through August 2012. No other products distributed by BNE are subject to recall.
Consumers who may have purchased EphBurn 25 should immediately discontinue using the product and contact their health care professional if they have experienced any adverse effects.
