This was probably exposed around four times.
Last night was a reallly good adventure of Kimmy and Sarah.
We started at the new starbucks, and it was really tasty.
Walked to Sobeys on Jasper avenue, it was beautiful out.
I bought peanut butter & jelly cookies, MAGICAL!
Went to the legislature building and it was also really sweet there, (photo above)
and found a skating rink there and took pictures with a snowman.
We walked across the high level bridge and it took like 10 minutes, it’s a long bridge.
Then we went to Kyoto for dinner, and sat at the sushi bar, it was really crowded.
Then we were walking down 109th street and saw a bubble tea place and decided to try it out.
It was adorable in there, looked like a little apartment.
Then we walked to Chapters, but on the way we NEEDED a bathroom and so we went to safeway and couldn’t find it and then saw it was out of order.
Then we went to esso and it was such a relief LOL.
We walked down Whyte avenue and then went to Chapters and looked at black hole books.
Lots of science stuff LOL.
She ended up getting a book by Hawking, and I got another that I just randomly picked out.
But my aunt was stoked on it because she knew who the author was.
(we stayed till closing - 10:00, and then got picked up by my dad + aunt)
Drove around for awhile then brought them home.
It was a really good day, I liked it.
I was a demonstrator for Blue Dragon Stir-Fry Sauces the other day and decided to write a few recipes to really showcase the potential of these relatively convenient pouches. Each pouch says it "serves 2", however, I found them very thick and gloopy and so all the recipes I'm sharing (which serve 4) use one pouch plus water or another form of liquid to make more of a "coating sauce" that also soaks into the rice or noodles you happen to serve it with.

Rajan Sawhney, Minister of Trade, Immigration and Multiculturalism and Brian Jean, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Northern Development announced, in Edmonton on Thursday, December 1, 2022, that Alberta’s government has attracted another job-creating investment to the province.
The ongoing work of Alberta’s government to diversify the economy is working and the province continues to see investment flow into the province. Through its Investment and Growth Fund, Alberta’s government has awarded $2.85 million to the Edmonton-based food processor to close the deal on a facility in Alberta rather than in a competing jurisdiction.
“Our government is proud to be creating an economic climate that is attracting and retaining high-impact investments to our province. We are continuing to work hard to ensure Alberta is known as an international destination to do business. Siwin Foods’ decision to expand in Edmonton will create local jobs, increase our economic growth and recovery, and support the Alberta agriculture industry.” said Rajan Sawhney, Minister of Trade, Immigration and Multiculturalism.
Short on space in its current location and with a growing list of customers from Costco to Sobeys to Walmart, Siwin Foods has plans to build a 70,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility in Edmonton. The new facility is designed to be an energy-efficient and waste-reducing processing facility.
Moving into a new facility will allow Siwin Foods to expand its production footprint and provide better access to the global market for its ready-to-eat and quick-cooking meal solutions.
The expected $53.85-million build will create 50 permanent positions and 50 temporary jobs during construction.
“I am so pleased that an Alberta-based success like Siwin Foods has chosen to continue expanding here, creating jobs and delivering high-quality products to the tables of customers around the world. We’ve opened our doors to job creators in Alberta, and our government is committed to helping investors build exciting futures for their businesses and for Albertans.” said Brian Jean, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Northern Development.
“At Siwin Foods, we’re proud that we’ve been able to grow our business in Alberta, where we have an abundance of quality ingredients, access to export markets and a skilled workforce. With construction of a new processing plant, we look forward to continuing to build on our success and serving our growing customer base, both near and far.” said Gord DeJong, vice-president, Siwin Foods.

I've been craving for a decent poutine here in Manitoba for almost a year now. I've tried many various places, New York Fries, A&W and various sit down restaurants throughout Manitoba. NONE of them have came anywhere close to a poutine that's found in Quebec City.
I had the munchies for poutine today, so I tried out the poutine from Burger King. I generally don't mind Burger King, I do love a good flame broiled whopper.
How was the poutine? If you're not that hungry, then this poutine is for you. Compared to poutines at New York Fries or most other places I've visited to, this poutine would be concidered a small (or by Chez Ashton in Quebec City.. une bébé poutine). The fries are the usual Burger King fries.. the fries that werent covered in the gravy sauce were cold and obviously have been sitting out for a while. But the fries that were IN the gravy sauce.. they were soggy and burn your mouth. The gravy has a very soupy salty taste to it that's very comparable to A&W's poutine gravy.. not good what-so-ever.. it tastes like that the fries and cheese is just SWIMMING in an almost-chicken noodle soup-like meal. The curds.. were very cheddary compared to the usual cheese curd... but you know what.. for once.. a restaurant is actually using curds instead of shredded cheese! They didn't have the "fresh squeak" sound to it like in Quebec or if you buy curds in the grocery store.. but I'm glad they used curds none-the-less. However, the curds were mostly melted to the point that it was one pile of cheesy gooey mess already. Part of the fun in eating a poutine is biting into the squeaky cheese!
While Burger King's poutine is slightly better than A&W's, but not by much, it's not a poutine I will ever buy again. Here in Manitoba, the best poutine I have ever had is from New York Fries.. pretty sad huh?
For those here in Manitoba who want to try making their own homemade poutine, many grocery stores across the province (including Sobeys, Giant Tiger and Safeway) sell fresh cheese curds from local cheese company Bothwell Cheese. I have used their curds for a homemade poutine before, and it's always a delight! You can even order them online here
Earlier this year, the Sobeys store at Varsity Common in Saskatoon began a renovation and expansion. The renovation and expansion involved building a new entrance to the store, as well as a new vestibule/lobby/foyer. The new vestibule/lobby/foyer uses doors from NABCO, which excites me greatly. The local distributor is Precision AutoDoor Systems Ltd., which is an exclusive NABCO dealer. There used to be another exclusive NABCO dealer, named A1 Power Door Ltd., but was acquired by ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, which exclusively sells Besam doors.
What is the purpose of doing this type of research? Weaponizing the coronavirus is the only reason I can think of. No wonder Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs thinks the U.S. should open its biotech labs for public scrutiny.

Scientists Develop New Lethal COVID-19 Strain
Researchers at Boston University have developed a new COVID-19 strain with an 80% kill rate. The lethal variant is a combination of both the Omicron variant and the original virus in Wuhan. It is said to be five times more infectious than Omicron. The strain was developed at the school’s laboratory, which has Biosafety Level 4 clearance. Meaning it is equipped to handle the most dangerous diseases known to man. The strain was developed in order to understand the virus better and prepare future treatments. "Ultimately, this research will provide a public benefit by leading to better, targeted therapeutic interventions to help fight against future pandemics," Boston University.

New Lab-Made Covid-19 Coronavirus At Boston University Raises Questions
This was one of those should-have-seen-it-coming moments. On October 14, a team of researchers posted on bioRxiv a preprint that described how they had created a new hybrid version of the Covid-19 coronavirus in their lab at Boston University and used this lab-created virus to infect mice, which ended up killing 80% of the mice. These days, if you think that posting something that talks about a lab-created virus killing mice wouldn’t create a commotion, then in the words of the heavy metal band Judas Priest, you’ve got another thing coming.
Yep, it wasn’t too long before GOF claims about this research began on social media, with GOF in this case meaning “gain of function” rather than “go on friend.” For example, Senator Roger Marshall, MD, (R-Kansas) tweeted, “This research must stop immediately. It is unconscionable that NIH sponsors this lethal gain of function virus research through Boston University and EcoHealth Alliance in densely populated areas, creating potential to kill more people than any singular nuclear weapon.” Then there headlines like the following from Fox News: “Boston University researchers claim to have developed new, more lethal COVID strain in lab.” And The Daily Mail ran an article with the following rather lengthy headline: “EXCLUSIVE: ‘This is playing with fire - it could spark a lab-generated pandemic': Experts slam Boston lab where scientists have created a new deadly Covid strain with an 80% kill rate.” In a word, yikes. In two words, umm yikes. Were such chatter and headlines justified?
Well, such talk and headlines prompted Boston University (BU) to issue the following statement that Rick Sobey quoted in an article for the Boston Herald: “This research is not gain-of-function research, meaning it did not amplify the Washington state SARS-COV-2 virus strain (original virus from 2020) or make it more dangerous.” The BU statement also added that “In fact, this research made the virus replicate less dangerous.” Presumably, they meant “less dangerous” or “in a less dangerous manner,” since you don’t tend to say things like “I shower less dangerous because the toaster was no longer in the tub.” Additionally, Sobey quoted Boston University as saying, “Ultimately, this research will provide a public benefit by leading to better, targeted therapeutic interventions to help fight against future pandemics.” The preprint did include a line that said, “All procedures were performed in a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facility at the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories of the Boston University using biosafety protocols approved by the institutional biosafety committee (IBC).”
So what’s the truth? Was this truly gain-of-function research where an even more deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was created? Or was this perhaps loss-of-function research that was indeed of public benefit that could lead to better therapeutic interventions? Or was it something in between? And should the team led by Mohsan Saeed, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at Boston University, have taken more precautions before conducting the research and posting the preprint.
Well, let’s take a look at the preprint. The preprint described how the team had started with the original SARS-CoV-2 that spread in early 2020. This was the virus that started the pandemic before a fraternity and sorority of Greek alphabet-named variants and subvariants subsequently emerged. The research team then used a recombinant technique to introduce a different type of spike protein, the ones that stud the surface of the BA.1 Omicron subvariant, on to the surface of this original SARS-CoV-2. Next they infected sets of mice in the laboratory with three different versions of the SARS-CoV-2: the original virus, the Omicron variant, and this new lab-made hybrid. Each mice got only one version of the virus. The lab-created hybrid virus ended up being not very mice for 80% of them who received it, killing 80% of the squeakers. This was indeed more than the 0% of mice who died after being infected with the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2. However, it was still less than the 100% of mice who died after being infected with the original SARS-CoV-2.
So if adding the Omicron spike protein to the original SARS-CoV-2 made it kill 20% fewer mice, was creating the hybrid virus technically gain-of-function research? The phrase gain-of-function research does include the word “gain” rather than “loss” or “no change.” This implies that the organism that’s being genetically altered has to actually gain in ability as a result. For example, giving a virus the ability to infect a species of animal that it wasn’t previously able to infect would qualify as gain-of-function research. So would helping a virus become more transmissible or more likely to cause worse disease. Therefore, technically, the experiments described by the pre-print may have actually been more like loss-of-function research or reduce-the-function-a-bit research.
Now, you may argue that while the virus happened to get a little weaker in this case, who’s to say that the opposite couldn’t have resulted instead. You may counter that when you mess with a virus’s genetic make-up, how can you know for sure whether the virus may get weaker versus stronger? Might this be a bit like going into plastic surgery where the surgeon says, “let’s see what happens” and maybe you’ll become more Instagram-able or maybe you’ll end up on the show “Botched?” Florian Krammer, PhD, an Endowed Professor of Vaccinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, essentially tweeted about such concerns and uncertainty:
As you can see, Krammer tweeted that “you also need permission from the U.S. government” to perform such experiments.
So did Saeed and his team get such permission from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)? Ummm, according to Helen Branswell writing for STAT, this preprint did appear to catch the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) by surprise. The pre-print credited NIAID, which is led by Anthony Fauci, MD, as one of the funders of this research. Based on what Emily Erbelding, M.D., M.P.H, Director of NIAID’s Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, told Branswell, the Boston University team had not made it clear to NIAID in advance that they were actually going to conduct experiments that could be possibly perceived as gain of function research. For example, per Branswell, the team’s grant proposal had not describe this specific type of research.
Of course, when researchers get grants from the NIH, they don’t necessarily have to give the NIH a heads up about everything that they plan on doing. After all research is not like making a green bean casserole. Researchers don’t simply follow a set recipe. Instead, they often explore and try different things to see what may happen. Sure there are some restrictions. For example, you don’t want a laboratory funded to study a particular set of viruses to then suddenly go off and use their funding to study whether teddy bears can drive cars. But NIH grantees typically have some leeway to change course as long as established precautions are followed and the research is reasonably within the area of what the proposal had indicated
Things may be a bit different when altering dangerous pathogens, though, especially those that have already demonstrated that they can start a pandemic. And the SARS-Cov-2 is a pathogen whose LinkedIn profile should definitely include a line that says “successfully started a pandemic.” A number of politicians and social media accounts have continued to make claims that the Covid-19 pandemic began when a lab-created SARS-CoV-2 was released. Sure they haven’t yet produced any real scientific evidence to support such claims. But these days who needs to actual evidence before claiming something, right? There have also been claims that the NIH, specifically Fauci, has been supporting and funding gain-of-function research, despite Fauci and others vehemently denying such claims. Again, none of these claims have been proven.
Given this current claim-anything-you-want environment, perhaps the Boston University-based research team would have been better off giving the NIAID a little forewarning before dropping the preprint like a barbell in a swimming pool. You know the saying, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Well, what about when a tree falls in people’s bedrooms, bathrooms, or wherever they happen to be reading their social media feeds? When you conduct research that can be interpreted and misinterpreted in all kinds of ways, it’s better to communicate the potential implications of the research in advance, perhaps even before the experiments are conducted. In his tweet thread, Krammer added that the group got in trouble “because they did not ask for permission” and not because of the experiment itself per se:
Krammer argued that the experiments conducted by the Boston University team weren’t that different from what nature has already done. So might this be a naughty by nature situation? It remains to be seen what actually specifically occurred with the research and the events leading up to it. Branswell quoted Erbelding as saying, “I think we’re going to have conversations over upcoming days.”
Remember a preprint is not the same thing as a peer-reviewed publication in respectable scientific journal. Anyone who has Internet access and opposable thumbs can in theory readily post a preprint on the Internet. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it even more common for researchers to do such a thing. The justification has been that such info is immediately useful for society and that the process of peer-review and journal acceptance takes way too long. For example, preprints have allowed scientists to more quickly communicate information on the transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 and the efficacy of vaccines and treatments. However, this practice has had its drawbacks. It’s allowed a fair amount of bad quality studies and misinformation to gain unwarranted attention.
This preprint may not contain everything that one needs to know to assess this research, its safety, and potential implications. So it remains to be seen what will emerge from discussions between the research team and the NIAID. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s become clear that there needs to be clearer communications about what needs to be communicated when dangerous pathogen research is being conducted. It has to be clearly communicated to researchers handling dangerous pathogens what they can and shouldn’t do. When it comes to dangerous pathogen research, one shouldn’t just worry about the pathogens being released. The release of a preprint that can be readily misinterpreted in different ways could be a problem as well.

Boston University calls Daily Mail report on COVID-19 research 'false and inaccurate.'
Boston University officials are calling a Daily Mail report about COVID-19 research being done at the school "false and inaccurate."
The Daily Mail published an article Monday saying researchers at BU created a new and more deadly COVID-19 strain. The report cited a preprint research paper.
Leaders said researchers actually found the COVID-19 replicate to be less dangerous.
Researchers combined the spike protein from omicron with the original strain of the virus.
They said the combined version killed 80% of the mice infected with it, compared to the original strain killing a higher percentage of mice.
“The animal model that was used was a particular type of mouse that is highly susceptible, and 80 to 100 percent of the infected mice succumb to disease from the original strain, the so-called Washington strain,” said Ronald B. Corley, National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories director, in a publication by Boston University. “Whereas omicron causes a very mild disease in these animals.”
The school said the Daily Mail took data from research on mice out of context and had nothing to do with the virus' effect on humans.
The University said the research was approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and the Boston Public Health Commission.

Boston University researchers claim to have developed new, more lethal COVID strain in lab
Researchers at Boston University say they have developed a new COVID strain that has an 80% kill rate following a series of similar experiments first thought to have started the global pandemic that began in China.
The variant, a combination of omicron and the original virus in Wuhan, killed 80% of the mice infected with it, the university said. When mice were only exposed to omicron, they experienced mild symptoms.
The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida and Boston at the school's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.
They extracted the spike protein from omicron and attached it with the strain first detected at the onset of the pandemic that began in Wuhan, China. They then documented how the mice reacted to the hybrid strain.
"In…mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent," they wrote in a research paper.
The new strain has five times more infectious virus particles than the omicron variant, researchers said.
In a statement, the university stressed that the replicated strain was less dangerous than the original strain.
"First, this research is not gain-of-function research, meaning it did not amplify the Washington state SARS-COV-2 virus strain or make it more dangerous. In fact, this research made the virus replicate less dangerous," the statement read. "Secondly, the research was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which consists of scientists as well as local community members. The Boston Public Health Commission also approved the research. Furthermore, this research mirrors and reinforces the findings of other, similar research performed by other organizations, including the FDA. Ultimately, this research will provide a public benefit by leading to better, targeted therapeutic interventions to help fight against future pandemics."
COVID-19 was first believed to have come from a wet market in Wuhan, though many believe the virus was engineered at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The World Health Organization continues to face criticism for its handling of the crisis in its early, most pivotal, days.
The omicron variant is highly transmissible, even in those who are fully vaccinated. The spike protein is responsible for rates of infectivity, according to researchers, other changes to the virus’ structure determine its deadliness.
One limitation to the study was the breed of mice used, as other types are more similar to humans.
It Finally happened. both "s's " on the sobeys signage by my house went out. the last s has been out for a week or so. you can see its still got a bit of light left in it, but not much.
I was a demonstrator for Blue Dragon Stir-Fry Sauces the other day and decided to write a few recipes to really showcase the potential of these relatively convenient pouches. Each pouch says it "serves 2", however, I found them very thick and gloopy and so all the recipes I'm sharing (which serve 4) use one pouch plus water or another form of liquid to make more of a "coating sauce" that also soaks into the rice or noodles you happen to serve it with.

These Homemade Portobello Mushroom Burgers are so much better than any restaurant! The secret is a good marinade – overnight! I can’t believe that it’s taken me this long to make homemade Portobello mushroom burgers – I LOVE mushrooms! My son and I made these for ourselves as the other two weirdos we live with don’t like mushrooms – and we sat there eating these in blissful mushroom heaven! These will be happening a lot more – especially now that my son knows how to make them!
The absolute, total mind-blowing secret to why these homemade Portobello mushroom burgers are the best is…. truffle infused olive oil.
Yup, that’s the ticket. If we are going for a full-blown, mind-bending Portobello mushroom burger, I want that sucker to be mushroom flavoured beyond measure! I think I have mentioned before my love of flavour infused olive oils, in fact, in this recipe for Lemon Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts I mention lemon infused olive oil.
Guys, you can get these at Sobey’s now. In a small olive oil bar section. There is no reason to be afraid of flavour infused olive oils ever again and no excuse as to why you can’t have some in your pantry.
Guess what I do with the truffled olive oil?
I put it on popcorn.
Yup, total restaurant trick right there. Add some pecorino cheese on top and you’ve just mimicked a $15 appetizer, truffled popcorn!
I suggest that you invest in a lemon and a truffle infused olive oil, those are the two that I use the most!
Back to the homemade Portobello mushroom burgers, which were absolutely amazing. I didn’t eat them because I wanted a vegetarian meal, I ate them because mushrooms are probably my favourite food. Funnily, I had a completely different recipe in mind ( some random stuffed caps recipe) but these were on the verge of going bad and we were heading out camping! Whoops!
I quickly cobbled together a marinade, threw them into a lidded container and took them with us to the lake. Lo and behold, the next day, we made them…and they were superb.b
So my lack of keeping track of my fridge ingredients is your gain in this recipe!
Happy cooking all!
Love,
Karlynn

Description
These Homemade Portobello Mushroom Burgers are so much better than any restaurant! The secret is a good marinade – overnight! I can’t believe that it’s taken me this long to make homemade portobello mushroom burgers – I LOVE mushrooms!
Ingredients
2-4 large portobello mushroom caps – ( a good 4 inches wide)
1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons truffled olive oil
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
buns, lettuce, tomato, etc for topping
Instructions
Combine all of the marinade ingredients together.
Place the mushrooms gill side up in a lidded container and pour the marinade over them. I find that the marinade soaks in better this way. Marinate for 4-6 hours but best if overnight.
To cook, grill the mushrooms on the BBQ until they are cooked through. Make sure to flip from side to side to cook them evenly and get the moisture out.
Place on toasted buns and top with your toppings of choice.
Notes
Using truffle oil is really important – it amps up the mushroom flavour SO incredibly! That’s what makes these soooo good!

Representing Ontario, Young & Giroux brought Mr. Smith (2011), a giant geometric structure of cast aluminium, plywood and fasteners to the Sobey Art Award exhibition. Curator Marnie Fleming writes: "Regardless of medium, Young & Giroux's work is the product of a dialectical dance between the desire to communicate the precariousness of our social structure and the exhausting demands of late capitalism. By moving increasingly into the world of commodities and design in everyday life, their works engage questions of power and politics."
Representing the Prairies and the North, Sarah Anne Johnson displayed her Artic Wonderland (2011) collection in the exhibition. In the words of Curator Ryan Doherty, "Johnson finds truth not through the objectivity of the lens, but through her efforts to approximate or recreate how her experiences of the world felt alongside how they appeared. Memory, play and pathos are invoked as companions to facts and documents."

Earlier this year, the Sobeys store at Varsity Common in Saskatoon began a renovation and expansion. The renovation and expansion involved building a new entrance to the store, as well as a new vestibule/lobby/foyer. In order to accommodate this, one of the existing sets of doors from STANLEY Access Technologies were relocated and a temporary entrance was created. That temporary entrance is no longer required and has since been dismantled. Here lies the door parts.
January 1971.
A.J. Sobey and J.W. Cone of Transportation Technology Incorporated wrote a report titled "The Case for Personal Rapid Transit," which was printed in the Highway Research Record No.367. As an advocate for personal rapid transit, vehicles that held one or only a few people, Sobey and his company, Transportation Technology Incorporated studied public transportation needs in various cities, including Los Angeles. Communication with a Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) Employee, an SCRTD report, and a public transportation report written by Cloverdale and Colpitts all influenced Transportation Technology Incorporated. All of these reports are available at the LACMTA Library & Archive.

Voluptuous American actress Mamie Van Doren (1931) was a sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s. Van Doren starred in several exploitation films such as Untamed Youth (1957), loaded with rock 'n' roll and juvenile delinquency. Her onscreen wardrobe usually consisted of tight sweaters, low-cut blouses, form-fitting dresses, and daring swimsuits. Mamie and her colleague blonde bombshells Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield were known as 'The Three M's.'
Mamie Van Doren was born Joan Lucille Olander in Rowena, South Dakota, in 1931. She was the daughter of Warner Carl Olander and Lucille Harriet Bennett. In 1942 the family moved to Los Angeles. In early 1946, Van Doren began working as an usher at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. The following year, she had a bit part on an early television show. She also sang with Ted Fio Rito's band and entered several beauty contests. She was married for a brief time at seventeen when Van Doren and her first husband, Jack Newman, eloped to Santa Barbara. The marriage was dissolved quickly, upon her discovery of his abusive nature. In the summer of 1949, at age 18, she won the titles Miss Eight Ball and Miss Palm Springs. Van Doren was discovered by producer Howard Hughes the night she was crowned Miss Palm Springs. The pair dated for five years. Hughes provided her with a bit role in Jet Pilot at RKO Radio Pictures. Her line of dialogue consisted of one word, "Look!". The following year, 1951, she posed for famous pin-up girl artist Alberto Vargas, the painter of the glamorous Vargas Girls. His painting of Van Doren was on the July 1951 cover of Esquire magazine. Van Doren did a few more bit parts in RKO films, including His Kind of Woman (John Farrow, 1951) starring Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell. Van Doren then began working on the stage. She was a showgirl in New York in Monte Proser's nightclub version of Billion Dollar Baby. Songwriter Jimmy McHugh discovered her for his musicals, then decided she was too good for the chorus line and should have dramatic training. She studied with Ben Bard and Bliss-Hayden. While appearing in the role of Marie in a showcase production of Come Back, Little Sheba, Van Doren was seen by Phil Benjamin, a casting director at Universal International. In 1953, Van Doren signed a contract with Universal Studios. They had big plans for her, hoping she would bring the same kind of success that 20th Century Fox had with Marilyn Monroe. Van Doren, whose signing day coincided with the inauguration of President Eisenhower, was given the first name Mamie for Ike's wife, Mamie Eisenhower. Universal first cast Van Doren in a minor role as a singer in Forbidden (Rudolph Maté, 1953), starring Tony Curtis. Interested in Van Doren's allure, Universal then cast her again opposite Curtis in The All American (Jesse Hibbs, 1953), playing her first major role as Susie Ward, a wayward girl who is the man-trap at a campus beer joint. In Yankee Pasha (Joseph Pevney, 1954), starring Jeff Chandler and Rhonda Fleming, she played a slave girl, Lilith. In 1955, she had a supporting role in the musical Ain't Misbehavin' (Edward Buzzell, 1955) and starred in the crime drama Running Wild (Abner Biberman, 1955). Soon thereafter, Van Doren turned down a Broadway role in the play Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and was replaced by newcomer Jayne Mansfield. In 1956, Van Doren appeared in the Western Star in the Dust (Charles F. Haas, 1956). Though Van Doren garnered prominent billing alongside John Agar and Richard Boone, she appears rather briefly, as the daughter of a ranch owner. By this time, Van Doren had grown tired of Universal, which was only casting her in non-breakthrough roles. Therefore, Van Doren began accepting bigger roles in better movies from other studios, such as Teacher's Pet (George Seaton, 1958) with Doris Day and Clark Gable. She appeared in some of the first films to feature rock 'n' roll music, such as Untamed Youth (Howard W. Koch, 1957). The film was originally condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency, but that only served to enhance the curiosity factor, resulting in it being a big moneymaker for the studio. Van Doren became identified with this rebellious style and made some rock records. She went on to star in several bad girl movies that later became cult films. These include Born Reckless (Howard W. Koch, 1958), High School Confidential (Jack Arnold, 1958), and The Beat Generation (Charles F. Haas, 1959). After Universal Studios chose not to renew her contract in 1959, Van Doren was now a free agent and had to struggle to find work.
Mamie Van Doren became known for her provocative roles. She was in prison for Girls Town (Charles F. Haas, 1959), which provoked censors with a shower scene where audiences could see Van Doren's naked back. As Eve in The Private Lives of Adam and Eve (Mickey Rooney, Albert Zugsmith, 1960) she wore only fig leaves, and in other films, like Vice Raid (Edward L. Cahn, 1960) audiences were clued in as to the nature of the films from the titles. Many of these productions were low-budget B-movies which sometimes gained a cult following for their high camp value. An example is Sex Kittens Go to College (Albert Zugsmith, 1960), which co-starred Tuesday Weld and Mijanou Bardot - Brigitte's sister. Mamie also appeared in foreign productions, such as the Italian crime comedy Le bellissime gambe di Sabrina/The Beautiful Legs of Sabrina (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1959) with Antonio Cifariello, and the Argentine film Una americana en Buenos Aires/The Blonde from Buenos Aires (George Cahan, 1961) with Jean-Pierre Aumont. Van Doren took some time off from her career and came back to the screen in 1964. That year she played in the German Western musical Freddy und das Lied der Prärie/In the Wild West (Sobey Martin, 1964), starring Freddy Quinn and Rik Battaglia. Tommy Noonan convinced Van Doren to appear in 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt (Tommy Noonan, 1964). Van Doren had turned down Noonan's previous offer to star in Promises! Promises!, in which she would have to do nude scenes. She was replaced by Jayne Mansfield. In 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt, Mamie did a beer-bath scene but is not seen nude. She posed for Playboy to promote the film. Van Doren next appeared in The Las Vegas Hillbillys (Arthur C. Pierce, 1966) which co-starred Jayne Mansfield. It was the only time two of 'The Three M's' appeared together in a film. A sequel was titled Hillbillys in a Haunted House, but Van Doren turned this role down and was replaced by Joi Lansing. She appeared in You've Got to Be Smart (Ellis Kadison, 1967), and the Sci-Fi film, Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968), directed by the young Peter Bogdanovich (Derek Thomas). In this film astronauts land on Venus and encounter dangerous creatures and meet sexy Venusian women who like to sunbathe in hip-hugging skin-tight pants and seashell brassieres. In 1968, she was offered the role of a murder victim in the independent horror film The Ice House as a replacement for Mansfield, who died the previous year. She turned the offer down, however, and was replaced by Sabrina. During the Vietnam War, she did tours for U.S. troops in Vietnam for three months in 1968, and again in 1970. Van Doren also developed a nightclub act and did live theatre. She performed in stage productions of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Dames at Sea at the Drury Lane Theater, Chicago, and appeared in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and The Tender Trap at the Arlington Park Theater. In the 1970s, Van Doren performed a nightclub act in Las Vegas as well. Van Doren had a supporting role in the Western The Arizona Kid (Luciano B. Carlos, 1970). Since then, Van Doren has appeared only in cameo appearances in low-budgeted films. To this date, Van Doren's last film appearance was a cameo role in the comedy Slackers (Dewey Nicks, 2002). Van Doren's guest appearances on television include Jukebox Jury, What's My Line, The Bob Cummings Show, The Jack Benny Show, Fantasy Island, Burke's Law, Vega$, and L.A. Law. She released her autobiography, Playing the Field, in 1987 which brought much new attention and proved to be her biggest media splash in over 25 years. Since the book's publication, she has often been interviewed and profiled and has occasionally returned to acting. Van Doren has been married five times. Her first marriage was to sportswear manufacturer Jack Newman whom she married and divorced in 1950. Her second marriage was to bandleader, composer and actor Ray Anthony whom she married in 1955. They had one son, Perry Ray Anthony (1956). The couple later divorced in 1961. When Van Doren's early 1960s, highly publicized, on-again off-again engagement to baseball player Bo Belinsky ended in 1964, she married baseball player Lee Meyers in 1966. They were divorced in 1967. Her fourth marriage was to businessman Ross McClintock in 1972. They met while working on President Nixon's reelection campaign; the marriage was annulled in 1973. Since 1979 she has been married to Thomas Dixon, an actor and dentist.

In 2014, Saskatoon Co-op bought a Safeway store from Sobeys after it was required to sell 23 stores after acquiring the assets of Canada Safeway. As of this year, the store's front entrance is going through a transformation. Before this transformation, there were a total of five doors for each direction (entrance, exit... and four doors from the front for each direction and one towards the back of the store. The old doors were from Stanley Access Technologies while the newer doors are NABCO Entrances.
I was a demonstrator for Blue Dragon Stir-Fry Sauces the other day and decided to write a few recipes to really showcase the potential of these relatively convenient pouches. Each pouch says it "serves 2", however, I found them very thick and gloopy and so all the recipes I'm sharing (which serve 4) use one pouch plus water or another form of liquid to make more of a "coating sauce" that also soaks into the rice or noodles you happen to serve it with.
