Sidi J. Mahtrow - Poems Poetry Series Sidi J. Mahtrow - poems - Publication Date: 2011 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sidi J. Mahtrow() www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 1 reiterative Poetry Reiterative poetry it seems proper to say Has seen little sunlight in present day. Yet it represents in all regard, The beginning as English language broached forward. Base on Anglo Saxon and Anglo Norman tongues Reiterative poetry sloughed reluctantly along Combining words in ways most proper And in some case, crudely brought to halt, a stopper. Meanings lost or lesser known, Words and spellings made to fit the event reported on. Such it is that Piers Plowman was written By William Langland and others(?) too, in 1462. Reiterative simply means repeat sounds; words or their beginnings To occur at least twice in each line's soundings. Thought to be borne on the method of basic speech Slow and deliberate as the speaker sought to teach. Imagine if you will the illusion the teller Wished to instill in the entranced listener, Pausing for effect on each word of the reiterative pair, For emphasis that would be embedded there. The Vision that Will viewed from his slumbers, Was perhaps a dream of dreary numbers. Cascading before his closed eyes, Were temptations in their disguises. Along the way the visions, as you will Enticed the reader to revel, In tales of harlots and their heady stews Where pleasure was sought (and found) in their due. The Church of Rome was ragged about in play, With fat priest in habits placed on display Their custom of taking what they may From the serfs and sundry workers of the day. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 Then there is the use of ‘fables' to instruct, As example, 'Belling the Cat' is one of such. The moral of the story is two fold and more, As the men are told they cannot be as independent mice of lore. But should bear allegiance to the King (the cat) Who protects, administers and all that, Taking only 'a little' from each one So that they can live their life in freedom. As example, seen in France, the death of the cat Only brings on horrors (and yet another cat) . Langland never was quite pleased with his poem And rewrote it several times and some. Sometimes using reiterative style To make his point, but when the method failed Used free verse to get the story told That's the way it was in days of old. So it is related with this Reiterative Poem Hoping to provide humble examples to some, Who might wish to try their hand Writing poetry, as the method properly demands. Sidi J. Mahtrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 3 thoughts On ugam Chettiar's 'Half-Done' Poem Rare is the word That is used to describe 'Half-cooked' But you decide What's on your plate. Is it ready for the palate Or needs another round In life's baptismal fire. Rare retains the flavor The succulence and the texture While overdone is, well, overdone. s Sidi J. Mahtrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 4 A Special Christmas Gift Most gifts come wrapped or maybe Too awkward to be, Are left standing in the corner or lying unwrapped under the tree But this special gift was different, to be delivered on bended knee. The giver had planned this gift for nearly a year For the recipient always took his gifts and put them away Until the ones he had, Were worn out or “used-up” as they say. So Joyce planned this gift very carefully and told Dad That this gift he would have to help with so please don’t get mad, For it was too much for her alone with all the driving and shopping Seems she wanted him to sit very still and let her do the? un-wrapping? She took out the box that she had carefully packed quite full, And the white enamel pan that was to be a part of it all. “Sit here, in your favorite chair, the cane-bottomed one, Get comfortable for this will take a while and I hope it’s fun” Then she put on one of Mom’s aprons, tied in the back Filled the pan with water, planning her attack. Dishwashing detergent, mild and without smell Was the next thing out of her box of tricks that she had planned well. Carefully she untied the laces on the shoes that he wore Shoes that were well polished, just as if from the store. Next off came the white socks one after another Until Dad’s feet were there for all to see without any cover It seemed Joyce intended to give Dad’s feet a bath, Not such a big thing but certainly on a different Christmas path. He grinned down from his seat and went along with the play Filled his pipe with Prince Albert and was content there to stay. The cleaning soon over and that signaled an end But Joyce had another trick up her sleeve as we soon learned Shooing away the small kids that came in to see What was happening to Grandpa and the gifts, under the tree. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 5 The feet were clean, as clean as could be And a good buffing made the nails sparkle like lights on the tree Dad, said, “Thank’y, I really am surprised That you had planned this for a old man who’s grown old but not wise.” He stood to leave, and Joyce said, “I’m not through. I’ve got another gift for you. So sit and be comfortable as I am just beginning.” And she took out more tools from the box’s inner lining. A pair of clippers that would do a farrier proud Were in her hand and she knelt before the feet Knowing that the mission Was going to be hard to complete. She nipped and nipped some more As toenails flew and fell to the floor, Going from toe to toe removing just a bit, here and there She slowly wore away the year’s growth found there Sometimes stopping and using a bit Of warm water and detergent the stubborn hooves to wet Until they were softened and yielded to her touch. But very carefully, she didn’t remove too much. Ten toes got her blessings and the long nails, no longer there And underneath white skin was exposed to the light’s evening glare. Then, a file that would make a machinist jealous, she took from her pack And carefully resumed her attack. The edges were made as smooth as a baby’s back side And only then was she finally satisfied, She said, I guess you/ve been trimmed like the old gray mare And need to put on your shoes to get a bit of fresh air. Into her sack which she tossed in the box, Went all the tools that she had used for the attack. So I guess one could say, “twas the night before Christmas” and be right as rain, For a special Christmas gift was the Daughter-in-law’s Plan. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 6 S Sidi J.

  • Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision
    1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

  • Potential for Growth of Clostridium Perfringens from Spores in Pork Scrapple During Cooling
    FOODBORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASE Volume 7, Number 2, 2010 ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089=fpd.2009.0405 Potential for Growth of Clostridium perfringens from Spores in Pork Scrapple During Cooling Vijay K. Juneja,1 Anna C.S. Porto-Fett,1 Kelly Gartner,2 Linda Tufft,2 and John B. Luchansky1 Abstract We conducted stabilization studies to determine the ability of Clostridium perfringens spores to germinate and grow during exponential cooling of a commercial formulation of pork scrapple. Scrapple was inoculated with a mixture of three strains of C. perfringens spores (NTCC 8238, NCTC 8239, and ATCC 10288), vacuum packaged, and reheated (20 min=93.38C) in a circulating water bath. The cooked samples were cooled (30 s) in an ice bath before being transferred to a programmable water bath to cool through the temperature range of 54.48C to 7.28C in 12, 14, or 21 h to simulate deviations from the required cooling time of 6.5 h. After cooling, the samples, in duplicate, were analyzed to determine if growth from spores had occurred. The samples were plated onto tryptose–sulfite–cycloserine agar and incubated anaerobically at 378C for 48 h before counting the colonies. Minimal growth (less than 1.0 log) was observed during a 12- or 14 h cooling period. However, when the time to achieve 7.28C was extended to 21 h, C. perfringens spores germinated and grew from an inoculum of *3.0 log10 to *7.8 log10 CFU=g. Thus, scrapple must be cooled after cooking to 7.28C within 6.5 h, but for no more than 14 h, to prevent a food safety hazard from outgrowth of C.

David Tomlinson For a start, as a young man he had a stammer, somewhat of a drawback for an aspiring actor, and he had a difficult relationship with his solicitor father, Clarence, a cold man who preferred to be called CST and who thought David would never amount to much, regularly telling him to his face.

  • Livermush Is a Unique Regional Pork Dish That Can Only Be Found in a Small Area of North Carolina
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ º [Music Througout] º >> [Voice over]: Livermush is a unique regional pork dish that can only be found in a small area of North Carolina. Livermush is made by mixing pork scraps, pork liver, cornmeal, and spices; which are then formed into a brick. The most common way to prepare livermush is to cut the brick into half inch slices and fry them in butter. These slices are often served alone or in between two halves of a biscuit with yellow mustard or grape jelly. The production of livermush has been industrialized in the last century by local companies such as Mack's Livermush & Meats in Shelby, North Carolina and Neese's in Greensboro, North Carolina; but before livermush was mass produced it was made at home. This food tradition is thought to have been brought to Western North Carolina by German immigrants. Germans, like many other Europeans, came to America hoping to build better lives without poverty or persecution. Many Germans first settled in Pennsylvania but then journeyed to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. According to the United States Census of 1792 approximately 20,000 Germans were living in North Carolina. This makes up five percent of the population at the time. These Germans took an old dish, pon hoss, from their homeland and made the old recipe work for the new world. Pon Hoss developed into scrapple in Pennsylvania and into livermush in North Carolina.
