Mini Meatless Loaves/Squares 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 small onion, finely chopped (use more if you're an onion person) 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1 tbsp tomato paste 2 tbsp soy milk 1/4 tsp salt (I'm not very salty, add more if this seems too little for you) 2 tsp adobo OR 1 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning (I've used both and they both work well) 2 cups ground beef style crumbles (I use frozen Morningstar Farms) 3/4 cup breadcrumbs Baste: 1/4 cup tomato sauce 2 tbsp ketchup 2 tsp brown sugar 1- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2- In a sauce pan, saute the onion in the olive oil until tender. 3- Whisk together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, soy milk, salt and adobo. 4- Add the tomato mix to the sauteed onions in the saucepan (it will splatter a little bit, tomato fireworks!) and heat it up just until it simmers.* 5- Stir in the frozen beef style crumbles and remove from heat. 6- Stir in the breadcrumbs. 7- Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Take out about 1/4 of the meatloaf mix and shape into a loaf with your hands (it's messy, so use gloves if you must). Place the loaf on the baking dish and do the same with the rest of the mix to form 4 loaves. If you're making the little presents instead, shape the meatloaf mix into 6 to 8 little squares and place them on the baking dish. 8- Whisk together the three basting ingredients and brush half of the mix on the tops and sides of each mini loaf/square. 9- Bake for 15 minutes. 10- Remove from the oven, flip the loaves/squares upside down and brush the rest of the basting mix on the tops and sides. Bake for 10 more minutes. *If you're using thawed or refrigerated crumbles, you don't need to simmer the tomato mix, just add the tomato mix to the onions and stir in the non-frozen crumbles right away. This is enough for the two of us, if you need to double the recipe you should use a larger pot instead of a saucepan. These also make good meatballs! If you want to decorate them like Christmas presents, just steam or boil a few green bell pepper strips and use some ketchup or tomato sauce as glue to stick them to the squares. I sauteed the peppers and they are tasty, but they have brown spots that wouldn't be there if they were steamed or boiled until soft and manageable. The little pepper pieces sticking up on the tops are raw, so they don't look all droopy! |
Last night we had mashed potato snowmen! I made them using cookie scoops, a large one for the bodies and a small one for the heads. They have steamed red pepper scarves and pea buttons. The noses are little carrot pieces, the mouths are black olive slices cut in half, and the eyes are black beans. We had them on top of black bean patties, so the black beans came in handy for the eyes.
Notice the olive tips as hats? They look like yarmulkes! It was unintentional, but I thought they looked cute! Allow me to remind you again that I am indeed an adult.
Enjoy the countdown to Christmas!!

What is somatropin?
Somatropin is a form of human growth hormone. Human growth hormone is important in the body for the growth of bones and muscles.
Somatropin is used to treat growth failure in children and adults who lack natural growth hormone, and in those with chronic kidney failure, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, short stature at birth with no catch-up growth, and other causes. Somatropin is also used to prevent severe weight loss in people with AIDS, or to treat short bowel syndrome.
Somatropin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about somatropin?
Before you receive somatropin, tell your doctor about all your past and present medical conditions, especially allergies, trauma, surgery, diabetes, cancer, breathing problems, liver or kidney disease, scoliosis, high blood pressure, pancreas disorder, underactive thyroid, or a brain tumor.
Also tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially steroids or diabetes medications. Your dosages of these medicines may need to be changed when you start using somatropin. Do not stop using a steroid suddenly or change any of your medication doses without your doctor's advice.
If you have Prader-Willi syndrome and are using somatropin, call your doctor promptly if you develop signs of lung or breathing problems such as shortness of breath, coughing, or new or increased snoring.
Call your doctor at once if you have sudden and severe pain in your upper stomach with nausea and vomiting, fast heartbeat, increased thirst or urination, weight loss, or vision changes and sudden, severe pain behind your eyes.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using somatropin?
Before you receive somatropin, tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a growth hormone medicine, or to drug preservatives such as benzyl alcohol, metacresol or glycerin.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to somatropin, or if you have:
diabetic retinopathy (a serious eye condition caused by diabetes);
cancer; or
Prader-Willi syndrome and are also overweight or have sleep apnea or severe respiratory (lung) problems.
You should also not use somatropin if you have a serious medical condition after having:
open heart surgery or stomach surgery;
trauma or other medical emergency; or
breathing problems (such as lung failure).
To make sure you can safely take somatropin, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
liver disease;
kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
a pituitary gland disorder;
high blood pressure (hypertension);
a pancreas disorder (especially in children);
a history of cancer;
carpal tunnel syndrome;
underactive thyroid; or
a brain tumor or lesion.
FDA pregnancy category B. Some brands of somatropin are not expected to harm an unborn baby, including Genotropin, Omnitrope, Saizen, Serostim, and Zorbtive.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether certain other brands of somatropin will harm an unborn baby, including Humatrope, Norditropin, Nutropin, and Tev-tropin.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether somatropin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use somatropin without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I use somatropin?
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your dose and brand of somatropin, and how often you give it will depend on what you are being treated for. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Somatropin is injected into a muscle or under the skin. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes.
Use a different place on your body each time you give the injection. Your care provider will show you the best places on your body to inject the medication. Do not inject into the same place two times in a row. Do not inject this medicine into skin or muscle that is red, sore, infected, or injured.
Do not shake the medication bottle or you may ruin the medicine. When mixing somatropin with a diluent (liquid), use a gentle swirling motion. Do not use the medication if it has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your doctor for a new prescription.
Use a disposable needle only once. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition and not causing harm, your blood and growth progress will need to be tested often. Your eyes may also need to be checked. Visit your doctor regularly.
If you are being treated for short bowel syndrome, follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor to help control your condition. Somatropin is not a cure for short bowel syndrome.
If you use a form of somatropin that comes in a cartridge for use with an injection pen, use only the pen injection system provided with the somatropin brand you use.
How you store this medicine will depend on what brand you are using and what diluent you are mixing somatropin with. After mixing somatropin, you may need to use it right away or you may be able to store it for later use. Read and carefully follow the instructions provided with your medicine about proper storage of somatropin before and after it has been mixed. Ask your pharmacist if you have any questions about proper storage of your medication.
Throw away any somatropin left over after the expiration date on the label has passed.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Call your doctor if you miss more than 3 doses in a row.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose can cause tremors or shaking, cold sweats, increased hunger, headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, and nausea. Long-term overdose may cause excessive growth.
What should I avoid while using somatropin?
If you use Zorbtive to treat short bowel syndrome, avoid drinking fruit juices or soda beverages. Follow the instructions of your doctor or nutrition counselor about what types of liquids you should drink while using Zorbtive.
Avoid drinking alcohol if you have short bowel syndrome. Alcohol can irritate your stomach and could make your condition worse.
Somatropin side effects
If you have Prader-Willi syndrome, call your doctor promptly if you develop signs of lung or breathing problems such as shortness of breath, coughing, or new or increased snoring. Rare cases of serious breathing problems have occurred in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome who use somatropin.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate;
increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss;
sudden and severe pain behind your eyes, vision changes;
swelling in your head, face, hands, or feet; or
numbness or tingling in your wrist, hand, or fingers.
Less serious side effects may include:
headache, feeling tired;
redness, soreness, swelling, rash, itching, pain, or bruising where the medicine was injected;
pain in your arms or legs, joint stiffness or pain;
muscle pain; or
cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
See also: Side effects (in more detail)
What other drugs will affect somatropin?
Before using somatropin, tell your doctor if you use insulin or take oral (by mouth) medicine to treat diabetes. Somatropin may affect blood sugar levels and you may need to adjust your dose of the diabetes medication. Do not change the dose of your diabetes medication without your doctor's advice.
Tell your doctor if you use any type of steroid medicine such as cortisone, dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, prednisone, and others. Steroids can make somatropin less effective and your doses may need to be adjusted. Do not stop using a steroid suddenly. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune), seizure medication, birth control pills, anabolic steroids, or hormone replacement medications for men or women.
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with somatropin. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.

A vaginal tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the vagina, a female reproductive organ.
Vaginal cancer; Cancer - vagina; Tumor - vaginal
Most cancerous vaginal tumors occur when another cancer, such as cervical or endometrial cancer , spreads. This is called secondary vaginal cancer.
Primary vaginal cancer is rare. Most primary vaginal cancers start in skin cells called squamous cells. This cancer is known as squamous cell cancer. The other types are adenocarcinoma, melanoma, and sarcoma.
The cause of squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina is unknown. But a history of cervical cancer is common in women with squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina.
Most women with squamous cell cancer of the vagina are over 50.
Adenocarcinoma of the vagina usually affects younger women. The average age at which this cancer is diagnosed is 19. Women whose mothers took diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent miscarriages during the first 3 months of pregnancy are more likely to develop vaginal adenocarcinoma.
Sarcoma of the vagina is a rare cancer that mainly occurs in infancy and early childhood.
Symptoms of vaginal cancer can include any of the following:
Some women have no symptoms.
In patients with no symptoms, the cancer may be found during a routine pelvic exam and Pap smear .
Other tests to diagnose vaginal tumors include:
Other tests that may be done include:
Treatment of vaginal cancer depends on the type of cancer and how far the disease has spread.
Surgery is sometimes used to remove the cancer. But most patients are treated with radiation . If the tumor is cervical cancer that has spread to the vagina, then radiation and chemotherapy are both given.
Sarcoma may be treated with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group whose members share common experiences and problems.
How well patients with vaginal cancer do depends on the stage of disease and the specific type of tumor.
Vaginal cancer may spread to other areas of the body. Complications can occur from radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you notice bleeding after intercourse or have persistent vaginal bleeding or discharge.
There are no definite ways to prevent this cancer. You can increase your chance of early detection by getting regular yearly pelvic examinations and Pap smears .

Life's just not fair eh Norma, I'd have holes flour and bits of dough everywhere if I tried that only thing I thought strange was when he removed the finished pizzas he put the peel down with the blade (if that's how it would be described) on the floor
yeah, but was the pizza good, and why would someone want to take those home in a box, they should be eaten fresh and hot from the oven!
Mario is not as showy, but I think he may be faster:
He is FAST, but what is amazing to me is the length of time the opened dough sits on the table before being put on the peel. If I did that, my dough would be stuck to the prep table. Mark
That would be fun, Norma. I would totally get the award for being the slowest Mary Ann
Eh gad, stacking them on top of each other? I wouldn't need to bother warming the oven, I would just put the skins straight into the trash can.

T^ The College News / VOL. XX, No. 17 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1934 Copyright BRYN MAWR COL.L.KGE NEWS, 1934 PRICE 10 CENTS Chinese Stage Art Is Akin to Elizabethan Clayton Hamilton Says Yellow Jacket Gives Escapes from Ultra-Realism IMAGINATION REQUIRED "It is a stimulating adventure to see familiar things from a non-fami- liar point of view," commented Clay- ton Hamilton in the Common Room Thursday, March 8, when he talked '� on The Yellow Jacket and compared its staging to the technique of the Elizabethans. Any new focus of at- ' tention in a dramatic production makes that production memorable be- cause of the imaginative work the au- dience must put into it. Such a play is The Yellow Jacket, produced in the conventions of the Chinese Theatre. In all essentials the Chinese theatre resembles the Elizabethan theatre. The modern Chinese submit their characterization to the acting tech- nique of professional actors, playing before a paying audience, and that is their only link with our realistic, highly-mechanized modern tlieatre. Both Elizabethan and modern Chinese conventions call for a bare platform and no scenery in the modern realistic sense. The place and the time ele- ment must be accepted by the audi- ence at the playwright's word. There are no trees of papier-mache, no bushes painted on canvas, no backdrop of scenery: as in the days when Shakespeare created the Forest of Ar- den, the audience must live in a real forest by the aid of its imagination. Neither the Chinese nor the Shakes- pearean theatre uses any artificial lighting. It must have been about three o'clock in the afternoon when in the 1602 production of Hamlet, Rich- ard Burbage stepped down to say, " 'Tis now the very witching time of night," and in Macbeth, the electrician juggled no electric switches when Bur- bage indicated the approach of dawn with the words, "Light thickens and the crow takes wing to the rooky (Continued on Page Three) ' French Club Will Present Annual Play on Saturday The French Club will present on Saturday, March 17, "Le.Barbier de Seville," by Beaumarchais. The Club has chosen its plays from the eight- eenth century only very rarely in the past, so "Le Barbier de Seville" is par- ticularly interesting for its relation to its period. Beaumarchais' clever satire on the social customs of the day immediately stamped it as a vehicle of the advanced thinking with the result that it was banned from the French stage for some time. Figaro, as the instigator of most of the action, sounded a new note in his disregard for tradition and aristocratic prestige. He shows up the type of society which led up to the French Revolution. The present production is being di- rected by Mademoiselle Rey, who so ably and successfully in the past has handled Hernani, Knock and Le Bour- geois Gentilhomme. Janet Barber is in charge of the scenery and cos- tumes. The lighting will be very much in the modern manner. The first act is to be played in the half-light of dawn and the second will also be in half light with one bar of sunshine. The last act will depend upon the effect of candles carried dn and off the stage as the players move about. The cast includes many names which are familiar in French Club produc- tions. It is as follows: Le Comte Vemaviva. Anita Fouilhoux Bartholo.........Elizabeth Pillsbury Rosine...............Emily Perkins Figaro................Janet Barber Don Bazille..........Alicia Stewart La Jeunesse..........Jean Andregg L'Eveille................Mary Boyd Un Notaire.......Margaret Haskell Un Alcade.........Mary Hutchings Vocational Tea > Miss Wilma L. Shannon, the Director of Training at R. H, Macy and Company, will speak on Department Stores in the Common Room in Goodhart Hall on Tuesday, March 20, at quar- ter of five. Everyone who is interested is urged to come. Tea will be served at half-past four. Student Poets Read Examples from Work � Talent Indicated by Quality of Verse and Standards in Self-Criticism SONNET FORM POPULAR The modestly entitled Afternoon of Poetry, held at the Deanery on Tues- day, March 13, was in our opinion from start to finish an unqualified suc- cess. Many of the audience, who at the time felt scarcely bold enough to call continually for encores, said after- wards that as often as the spirit mov- ed our poets, there should be a repe- tition of this afternoon's performance. The reading proved conclusively that creative effort is not dead or dying on the campus, but that on the con- trary fine, finished verse is.being pro- duced by our own fellow-classmates under our very noses. The six undergraduates who read their verses are well-known to us in other spheres of college activity in the Lantern, on Dramatics, on the News. Three of them come from the Junior class, two from the Sophomore, and one from the Senior. Miss Donnelly introduced the poets by recalling the wish of Miss Thomas that there might always be a school of poets on the Bryn Mawr campus. Never has that wish come more near fulfillment than at the present time. The conviction of us who are naturally partial to our poets is borne out by the comment of James Stephens, who, when he was here to lecture, read poems produced by students and gave them high praise, both here and in other places. The proportion of poetry to prose in the Lantern has always been remarkably high; the popularity of the Poetry Club and the prospect of a larger Poetry-Speaking Society in the near future promise well for the development on the cam- pus of an increasing interest in poetry and the modern poets. The most striking thing about the undergraduate verse as a whole was its restraint, the conscious discipline of form to which it was submitted. Verily free verse has had its day and is no more. The present generation seems particularly devoted to the son- net-form, with the precise checks and balances which it requires. Stanzas of short rhyming lines appeared also popular, to judge by the reading. Elizabeth Wyckoff, '36, opened the reading with a sonnet, Jeanne d'Arc, smooth in form and with striking pic- torial effects. Even better than the first were the two sonnets which fol- lowed, in which the young modern lover was warned from the high, stormy passion of the great loves of old days. The thought in these was well-sustained and the feeling kept in check. The originality of phrasing and the control of form were excel- lent. Following Miss Wyckoff, Evelyn Thompson, '35, read three poems, My Prince, Wish, and The Orb. The deli- cacy of feeling and the sway of the rhythm in these was very good. Ger- aldine Rhoads, '35, read one piece, Jacob's Ladder, which in idea and ex- pression was more strongly rendered than the poems which came before. The form, though not restrained, was well managed up to the clever closing line. J *" Clara Frances Grant, '34, read her verses, Idol and Nocturne. The mood of these was complex and somewhat difficult. The imagery in the first was particularly fine. Gerta Franchot, '35, showed more versatility of tone in the poems she read than any of the other undergraduate poets. Her protest against being reproached with flip- < Continued on Page Five) New Society Planned for Poetry-Speaking Group Meeting at Miss Ely's Ponders Verse Recitals on English Model MRS. VAN DUSEN READS The inauguration of a poetry-speak- ing society at Bryn Mawr, to be built up along the lines of similar societies in England and Scotland, formed the subject of discussion at a tea in Miss Ely's house on the afternoon of Sun- day, March 11, where Mrs. Van Dusen, of London, was the speaker. Verse-speaking societies have sprung up in Great Britain in the last two decades, under the leadership of poets, notably John Masefield, who feel that the rendering of poetry by word of mouth is one of the greatest pleasures it is in its nature to afford, and who shudder to see this rendering left solely in the hands of elocution-teach- ers and strained children on school- platforms. Poetry-speaking societies soon be- came popular in Britain. They were organized locally in all sorts of places, one of the most successful being that in Falkirk, a Scottish mining village. Large towns were used for centres, at which yearly Festivals were held, when local groups met other local groups in open competition. At these festivals, set poems were given out in each class for all the candidates to learn, and these poems were then re- cited before public gatherings with poets for judges. The festivals proved as popular with those listening as with those reciting. Sound constructive criticism was given each competitor after his performance. The most fam- ous festival was held at Oxford, at which the Masefields until a few years ago were always present. The emphasis of the poetry-speak- ing societies has always rested on in- terpreting a poem from the inside, and not through stylized intonation and gesturing, as taught by the old elocu- tion-schools. Each person who recites a poem tries first to capture thor- oughly the meaning and the spirit of the poem and then to reproduce that meaning and that spirit in the lines as he recites them.' It is amazing how an audience will understand and ap- preciate a really difficult poem, when it is sympathetically rendered by the speaking voice. Oral recitation was, of course, in old days the only way of making poetry known; the verse- speaking societies feel that it is still a more effective, more essential way than that of the printed page. A poetry-speaking society at Bryn Mawr is being enthusiastically con- templated, as a result of Mrs. Van Dusen's talk. If such is formed, the first meeting will take place informal- ly in the next two weeks, on a date to be announced. Prospective members will undertake to learn a favorite poem, which they will recite at the meeting, for which Mrs. Van Dusen has very kindly consented to be in the critic's chair. If the society takes �hape as it is hoped, a public recita- tion may be held in April, for which an attempt will be made to induce Mr. Laurence Binyon, noted English poet and member of the movement, at pres- ent in this country, to come down and act as critic. He, in such a case, will set the poem or poems to be recited. At the close of the tea, Mrs. Van Dusen herself read some poems aloud, remarking as she did that we must not be weak enough to allow ourselves to sit and read from a book when we recite. As Miss Coxe remarked, full lung-power is not attainable by a per- son in a sitting position. Seated and with the book before her, Mrs. Van Dusen nevertheless spoke beautifully and completely held her audience, while she passed from songs of Blake to Milton and from Milton to the mod- erns,�Belloc's "Do you remember an inn, Miranda?" and Gerard Manley Hopkins' Wildernesses and Gordon Bottomley's End of the World.

Dr. Mukerji Speaks - On Need to Meditate Depression Has Saved India By Reteaching Wisdom . of Contemplation AMERICA NEEDS SILENCE Varsity Swimmers Set for Swarthmore Meet (Expcchilly Contributed by Snsav Daniels, '3i, President of the Athletic Association) Friday, the sixteenth of March, is a gala day for the Varsity swimming team and for the college. It's the first time there has been a swimming meet off campus. We are going to Swarth- more, where they have an excellent pool and a grand diving board. As some of you know, we have brand new yellow suits with which to celebrate. All seventeen of us are going in our new suits�which make us a good deal more presentable than our grey bags, and fill us with unbounded confidence. We have one of the best teams we have ever had. Its strength has hard- ly been tried, and it should pile up bigger and better records against Swarthmore. Swarthmore has a good all around team this year. We have a slight edge on them as far as our times compare, but they have not had very stiff com- petition and in the heat of the fray anything may happen. According to times, the events which will be the most closely contested are the 40-yard crawl, the 80-yard freestyle, and the 40-yard back crawl. Unfortunately for us Marian Mitchell will be un- able to swim in the meet since she received a knee injury playing basket- ball. Porcher will support her team as she always does in this event. If Wylie improves as much as she has in the last week, she ought to be able to beat her record of 24.4 which she made last year; at any rate, the 40- yard crawl will be exciting. In the diving, Swarthmore has two very good people, Michaels and Bur- ritt. Michaels does' both diving and the 80-yard crawl. She was the big threat in the diving in the last two meets, and has improved. Burritt is a freshman who gets beautiful height on all her dives and has good finish. If our divers can remember to jump up instead of out, the meet will be very close. Our difficulty will be con- trolling our flight in the air, and our entry, because their board is so springy; you practically fly up to the roof without half trying; and flying is a new experience for us as our board makes us pound in order to get any height. This is the last meet of the year. It rivals the Yale-Harvard football games in feeling. Since the Swarth- more event will be the first off campus meet in the history of the college, we should like to be cheered; come all and see a good meet, whether we win or lose. v Dr. Dhan Gopal Mukerji, speaking on The Conflict of the Past and Pres- ent in the East, in Goodhart Hall on Monday night, said that the coming of the depression had saved India, for it had taught them that the ideal of Western progress in which millions had come to believe, was not infallible and had made them return to the old education, which had consisted of daily meditation in order to gain control of the mind and knowledge of *Hence. Silence is more than stillness; it is deeper and thicker than mere absence of sound: it is something positive which arises within man and shuts out everything but the sijences of the mind. An old Indian adage says that "silence within man outweighs all things and measures the universe." It is this belief in the power of meditating and of listening to silence which binds India with the thread of unity, "a thread of gold binding a string of pearls," for India is an enor- mous and varied country. Every hun- dred miles brings a change in dress, lansruapre, and cooking, a diversity in sects and religions, but nevertheless a profound sense of unity prevails, which is appraisable not in objective facts, but in psychic experiences. At the moment of sundown, the majority of Indians are silent: they experience a "literal going into silence." Medi- tation then runs through all of India and makes a oneness of living. ^ Dr. Mukerji was educated into the priesthood, and was sent to a place of study in the mountains of North India which was run by a fantastic holy man. A holy man is one who has seen God face to face, not merely one who has led a righteous life, and in all of his life Dr. Mukerji has met but three or four real holy men. As the years pass, fewer and fewer of them are in existence, for they are all being called to a higher incarnation. In this place of study, the boys led a normal life, ate two meals a day (four meals if two teas may be counted as meals), and studied, but they sat still for long hours at a time. At first, Dr. Mukerji's teacher took him for long walks on the Himalayan preci- pices (and climbing the Himalayas is work not for men, but for goats), and would sit beside him at the top of a mountain for hours and hours, say- ing absolutely nothing except "The lake is white" when they first sat down. The day Dr. Mukerji said, af- ter sitting for three hours, "The Lake is white and the air is good," he was graduated from this part of his train- ing, for he had proved that he could keep his mind on one subject for more than fifteen minutes at a time. His parents then considered him free from the horrors of excitement, for he was able to think without get- ting excited. Thinking is not permit- ted to young people in India until they can think calmly, for calmness of thinking gives power to illuminate dark corners like light, but it does not give character. Character is the result of turning the mind to think of holiness and of letting it become at- tuned to harmony. Learning to meditate is the only training given to young Indians in science, but they are also taught sacred epics and dramas. Every day they are sent to the temple to learn ancient poems from the priest, and in the evenings they' listen to (Continued on Page Pour) Fencing Tournament The Women's Team Cham- pionship for the Philadelphia Division of the A.

Now that the NDAA signed by the president last year has been stripped of the essential clauses protecting American citizens of their Constitutional rights, just how easy would it be for them to get away with another 9-11 event and seal the coffin lid shut on American freedom for good? Before you dismiss the question outright, consider the following video carefully:
Ever since that fateful day, in the name of national security, the Constitutional rights of all Americans have been under attack, via such things as the Patriot Act, totalitarian executive orders, the continuing encroachment of Homeland Security initiatives and the inclusion into the NDAA of indefinite detention of American citizens without trial.
Now ask yourself this question: If there is an elite group (such as the Illuminati) holding key positions of power within government, corporate and banking institutions, and they are indeed conspiring to subjugate America, what would be their next step?
If those bastards are so powerful that they were able to pull off the 9-11 event and keep their positions intact, then you also must consider what else they might be capable of doing. Like, what would happen to the national psyche if a major US city, like Phoenix, for example, were to be suddenly vaporized in a Nagasaki-esque manner? (This is what S.K. Bain has fictionalized in his book.)
Absolute fear would grip the nation immediately. Martial Law would be declared. The new authorities already granted to the president under his own executive order would be cited and all resources would be seized by the government. Dissenters would be shipped off to all the FEMA concentration camps that have been prepared over the last few years. The internet would be cleansed of all 'unpatriotic bloggers' while the 'controlled' main-stream-media tells the public that the Iranians are to blame. Religious leaders are quick to point out that Muslims are not only anti-Jew, but anti-Christian as well. It would be enough impetus to garner support for invading yet another middle eastern nation, and possibly lead to World War III if China and Russia run to the aid of Iran.
So the next question you've got to ask yourself is when would this elite group initiate their next move? As the world economy spins toward ultimate depression, printing presses are already running at full tilt and there's no real political will to tackle the underlying problems of the Fiscal Cliff – only moves to delay the inevitable collapse are given any attention. Meanwhile, the national debt surges due to continued unbalanced government spending. At some point, all these monetary shenanigans will become too obvious to the average citizen and a diversion will be needed to distract public focus.
Of course, they've not yet taken the guns away from the American public. But the Second Amendment is indeed being threatened. And history shows multiple examples where the confiscation of weapons is a precursor to genocide and despotism.
A final question to ponder is whether or not the agenda requires the Constitutional Second Amendment to be abolished prior to the more drastic event, or whether a more severe tragedy might actually aid in it's own destruction? As long as people continue their ignorance of freedom and refuse to accept responsibility for their own lives, they'll happily increase their dependency on government wealth redistribution. Lady Liberty's lamp flickers in the wind.
Footnotes: For those that may scoff at the possibility of the existence of an elite group like the Illuminati, this radio interview with an ex-Illuminati member is quite an eye-opener (pun intended). And a closer look at this country's history reveals that Freemasons had successfully infiltrated civil offices and media control within early American society. After the scandal regarding the murder of William Morgan, many left the fraternity or went underground. A few words showing a hierarchical relationship between the Illuminati & Freemasonry might prove interesting. A paragraph or two could also be included regarding the occult-rituals said to be practiced by the Illuminati to gain further insight regarding their motives in addition to significant dates and numbers held sacred by these elites. Perhaps some comments could be made on the recent Sandy Hook tragedy along with suspicious circumstances surrounding that event. But we've probably gone far enough down the rabbit hole already for most silver investors.

Round Glass Jars with Clamp Lid
Great Jars
These are great jars, but they aren't round - they're square (at least the 2 smallest sizes). They also come with a greasy gasket (is that what you call the rubber seal??). But once cleaned up they are a nice jar with very little flaws and the wire part is nice and sturdy.
October 18, 2013
Love these
I ordered 5 of the largest and I'll be ordering more. Great place to store flours, beans, etc. I moved into a place where meal bugs were hiding in the pantry. After throwing out a lot of food that became infested, I found these and have no more problems.
August 14, 2013
I have ordered these jars several times. I've been wanting canisters for coffee, flour, etc, but canister sets have very, well, set, numbers and sizes of jars. I wanted something I could add to or change. These are perfect: whenever I want more, here they are (unless they're out of stock, which happens a lot). I bought some chalkboard contact paper and cut it to size to make chalkboard labels for each of these jars which make them absolutely perfect. (The contact paper even stays on when I wash them!)
The largest jar I use for flour and sugar. A 5-lb bag of sugar fits easily. The bag of flour is a little tighter of a squeeze, so I just make sure to use a few cups before pouring the rest in the jar.
The second jar fits a 2-lb bag of powdered sugar easily. This is also the jar I will use for pasta when I order a second one. A 1-lb box of pasta would work for sure in this size.
The third largest jar is my (and, apparently, world market's) most popular jar. I use it for beans, nuts, brown sugar, couscous, coffee, popcorn, rice. Everything fits perfectly.
The smallest jar I bought originally for beans. It is the least useful to me. A 16-oz bag of beans will fit in this size, but it's really tight, and I'd rather just use the larger jar when I can get it. I have two of these and don't really know how to use them because they are a bit small for my needs.
All of the jars arrived wrapped in layers and layers of bubble wrap, and I didn't had any trouble with them breaking on the way. I don't know precisely how leak-proof they are because I haven't turned them upside down or anything, but I haven't noticed any issues on that front during everyday use. They keep my sugars, especially, sealed enough that they don't clump, which is what matters to me.

one was too tight all others perfect
i bought the jars for airtight food storage. (flour, sugar, coffee, etc.) All of them are definitely air tight and I like the way they look on the counter and being able to see inside. I bought various sizes including the largest one. They all arrived together and were packaged very well. None arrived damaged. The lid clasp was too tight for the largest jar I think because the first time I opened and closed it the jar cracked all the way down on one side. All the others were fine though and they seem really durable. No other problems so far. I would just suggest loosening the clasp if you feel it is too tight/too difficult to close before re-closing it.
January 28, 2013
Very good for bulk items
I got these for flour, beans, granola etc. The large size is good for flour, but didn't fit a whole bag of King Arthur unbleached. Some of them don't have the tightest seal, but I'm sure if I cared enough I could fiddle with the latch and make it tighter. That's on the list with fixing my broken teacup...
Great storage!
August 9, 2013
Does Not Seal Tightly
I have purchased these jars before and remember them sealing tightly. These did not seal as tightly as I remember. There was some slight leakage. I.would buy them again, though.
March 16, 2013
Only one I've seen.
This is what I was looking for but the metal clamp is loose and the lid falls off. I can't seem to figure out how to tighten it once and for all.

returns the value associated
to a key in the hash table. If no value is found it returns
the application of its failure-thunk (the third, optional
argument). So to check if a hash table contains a
particular key we must arrange the failure-thunk to return a
value that cannot possibly be held in the hash table. If
returns this value we know the hash table
does not contain the key.
How can the failure-thunk guarantee that the value it
returns will no be in the hash table? The secret is to use
an uninterned symbol, which is a symbol that is guaranteed
not eq?
, eqv?
, or equal?
to any other symbol. Most
Schemes, including PltScheme, provide the function gensym
to generate uninterned symbols.
So we can use the function hash-has-key?
below to test for the presence of a key:
(define hash-has-key? (let ((symbol (gensym))) (lambda (table key) (not (eq? (hash-table-get table key (lambda () symbol)) symbol)))))
> (define hash (make-hash-table)) > (hash-has-key? hash 'foo) #f > (hash-table-put! hash 'foo 1) > (hash-has-key? hash 'foo) #t
above uses
IdiomStaticVariables to avoid creating the unique symbol
more than once.
It is important that we use an uninterned symbol to check
for the absence of the key as PltScheme allows any value,
including #f
and void
, to be stored as the value with a
hash table.
In addition to gensym
, PltScheme provides the function
which is like symbol->string
except the symbol is uninterned. This means that two
symbols created with string->uninterned-symbol
the same but in fact not be eq?
, eqv?
, or
If gensym
was not available we could take use of the fact
that eq?
returns #f
is its two arguments represent
different values in the store (in other words are allocated
at different addresses) and list
is guaranteed to return a
new allocated list. So we could write hash-has-key?
(define hash-has-key? (let ((dummy (list '*no-such-element*))) (lambda (table key) (not (eq? dummy (hash-table-get table key (lambda () dummy)))))))
is guaranteed by R5RS to return a newly
allocated list.
The eq?
test for object identity should work everywhere.
-- JensAxelSoegaard - 14 Sep 2004
You are correct. However eq?
is not guaranteed to return #f
in, for example, (eq? (list 1 2) (list 1 2))
. I shall modify the recipe accordingly. Thanks. -- NoelWelsh - 15 Sep 2004
Are you sure? The entry on eq?
says that one should look under eqv?
. And there it says:
The eqv? procedure returns #t if: * obj1 and obj2 are pairs, vectors, or strings that denote the same locations in the store (section 3.4). The eqv? procedure returns #f if: * obj1 and obj2 are pairs, vectors, or strings that denote distinct locations.The example
(eq? '(a) '(a)) ==> unspecified
illustrates that literals can be
coalesced by the compiler, but in this case we are making new pairs.
-- JensAxelSoegaard - 15 Sep 2004
I have been schooled! :-)
-- NoelWelsh
Alternative implementations:
(define hash-has-key? (let ([secret (let-struct secret () (make-secret))]) (lambda (table key) (not (eq? (hash-table-get table key (lambda () secret)) secret)))))
(define (hash-has-key? table key) (with-handlers ([exn:fail:contract? (lambda (exn) #f)]) (hash-table-get table key) #t))

I appreciate that you guys are trying to get a new version out and I'm glad there is a bug fix planned this month, but I have to say I think it's a little optimistic that the download on the deckadance main site is the 1.92 version. I don't know if it's supposed to still be a beta, but there are too many bugs for this to be released on the main site as though it's a final working version.
My main bug is the aforementioned loops jumping off tempo when releasing a loop, which makes 1.92 really pretty unusable for actual live use.
Maybe wait a bit longer next time before releasing it fully.

Perfect for bedroom
I'd never had a reed diffuser before but I wanted something in the bedroom other than candles. This scent sounded perfect, and it was - not too overwhelming and smells great.
Was this review helpful? Yes No
I change my scents with the seasons and this is my new favourite autumn scent. It is fantastic. The diffusers work so well, keeps the room fragranced without being overpowering. You can't go wrong with Thymes fragrances.
Unbelievably delightful
From the wonderful packaging of this product (love the amber colored bottle, the wrap and tag that hang on the front) to the warm, soothing fragrance...everything is delightful. The fragrance is not overpowering and has a peaceful effect. The reeds easily took up the scented oil and dispersed the scent. Walking into the room became a scent-filled joy.

A view from across the pond – Colleen Carroll
Colleen Carroll is a pint sized bombshell from the US who joined North Kiteboarding last year. For those of you unfamiliar of her, don't let appearances fool you, she rides hard! Often found hanging out at cable parks around the world honing her skills on the features, she dominated at the Triple S last year and is on a mission to do the same again this year. We caught up with Colleen to find out what she's been up to and what her take on kiteboarding from 'across the pond' is.
"I've been travelling, kiting, spending lots of time at the cable park and in general loving life!
Seeing other people on the water pushing their riding really inspires me to go for harder tricks or to try out a new one. It also helps that our sport is so fun. I never have the feeling that I'm lacking motivation when I'm at a kite spot. If its windy and the water looks nice, I'm in!"
When asked how she sees the progression of the female side of the sport, she say's; "progression is kicking ass these days! In the last year I've seen and met many female riders who are really pushing their personal limits as well as those of women's kiteboarding as a whole. I'm curious as to when we'll see the first double pass landed..."
As a Team Rider it is always interesting to get an 'insiders' perspective on the North Range and more specifically for women and Colleen's style of riding: "Firstly the North Kiteboarding range is huge. There is definitely something for everybody in there whether it's sliders, freestyle, speed, hang-time, or waves. Whatever fuels your fire. More specifically, the North range offers the perfect setup for me and I think any girl can find what she needs. The performance, safety, and durability are all time on the North kites so I don't really know what more you could ask for! My perfect set up is a 9m Vegas on 22 meter lines with 136 Gambler and North Kiteboarding boots. Also need my ION sol harness and of course a lovely Sensi Graves bikini. If the wind is a smooth 20kts, the water butter flat, and there is a feature to session, I am in utter heaven!"
A well known rider on the American Kite scene she has never made it across the pond to test out some of Europe's hotspots, but she is adamant that she will be making the trip this summer. Inquisitive to find out how she felt about riding for a European brand and whether it has influenced her view on the sport, she said: " Our first kites as a family were North kites and the brand has always had such a strong presence in the Hood River/Seattle kite spots that I guess I've never really felt it was foreign. However, working more closely with a European brand, it has shown me how much bigger and more mature the industry is 'across the pond."
Looking to the future, she admits that it is best to be flexible when trying to make plans materialise, but that a trip to Europe is on the cards and that her main goal and sights are set on the Triple S Invitational, Cape Hatteras. "I was really lucky last year and came out on top. I have a feeling I'll see even more competition this year on the girls side so I'm feeling a bit of pressure to up my game." And up her game she did!
Colleen was crowned the women's Triple S Champion 2014. Never taking her eyes of the prize she dominated the field securing a 1st in Slicks and Sliders, and 3rd in the Surf putting her 1st Overall. Her performance in the Slicks was solid, with two clean runs and stomping technical moves such as Back to Wrapped. A day in the Surf saw her dialling some stylish grabs and unhooked moves off the kickers, scoring well with the judges. In the Slider discipline, she cruised through the heats with clean hits across the park. A stylish front side 180 tail press to blind across the flat bar put her in the Finals. She said;
"All of the girls were riding really solid and it was made even more intense having mixed heats and riding with the boys. I'm incredibly happy that I advanced through to the Finals with the North boys."
That's a wrap! The 2014 Venyu Triple S invitational comes to an end
An amazing week of kiteboarding has come to an end here at Real Watersports, Cape Hatteras, and as riders pack their boardbags to head to their next destination, it's safe to say that the 2014 Venyu Triple S Invitational was a huge success!
The crème de la crème of wakestyle kiteboarders gathered to take on the Surf, Slicks and Sliders and there is no doubt that the did it in style. North Kiteboarding Team Rider Colleen Carroll never took her eyes of the prize taking 1st in Slicks and Sliders, and 3rd in the Surf putting her 1st Overall. Aaron Hadlow (UK) dominated in the Slicks giving him 1st in the discipline and placing him 3rd Overall.
North Kiteboarding Rider Tom Court, (UK) a bit of a Triple S regular was there for his sixth year, put in a great performance in the Surf discipline, taking 3rd place on the podium. Sam Light (¼ of the Freeride Project) took 2nd, leaving Aaron Hadlow to 1st place. The boys were stoked to have an all UK podium, showing the Americans that they too are pushing wakestyle riding across the pond.
The closing ceremony saw $40,000 being split amongst the riders and a big party to send off the riders to their next destination...Until next year!

Big Waves, Big Winds, sees Triple S riders go Big!
The South West winds delivered big conditions for Day 5 of the Triple S Invitational. Following the round up of the Slicks Finals held in the morning, riders, judges and spectators moved south, to Cape Hatteras.
Riders were judged on their kicker hits for the Surf discipline, and with the ocean delivering juicy ramps it was an impressive spectacle. A solid 30 knts of wind meant everyone was lit on 5m and 7m Kites and was not for the faint hearted.
As the women's heat got underway, it was clear to see which riders had more experience in such testing conditions. NKB Team Rider Colleen Carroll chose a 6m Dice, a kite with great performance in strong winds. Settling into the heat, riders searched for ramps to hit and as time passed, confidence built throughout the girls with stylish grabs and unhooked moves scoring high with the judges.
With wind and waves still building, the men hit the water. Currents ripped down the coast making it hard to stay up wind and a disaster if anyone crashed their kite. Craig Cunningham unfortunately missed out on making the finals but put in a good performance dialling in a Shifty to Wrapped and Back Mobe. Tom Court, on a 7m Vegas breezed through to the finals with a Crow Mobe, Tootsie Roll and Toe Side 5.
Speaking to Aaron Hadlow he said, "It was really challenging and hard to find the kicker you needed. The conditions were unpredictable but still fun to ride and see what was possible to achieve"
The results will be announced this evening at the closing ceremony. Be sure to check out the video from the Surf discipline here http://www.triplesinvitational.com/on-demand/2014/day-5-highlights/
North Kiteboarding Team Riders style out in the Slicks at the Triple S Invitational
The Slicks discipline makes up one third of the Triple S Invitational at REAL Watersports, Cape Hatteras. Following an outstanding day on the Sliders, riders gathered to wait for the wind which lacked some punch. Late afternoon, the light winds had built enough for the Women's heats to start and rigging 14m's, competition got underway.
The Slope Style format for the event sees riders going one at a time, giving them the chance to do their four best tricks, two regular and two goofy.
North Kiteboarding Rider Colleen Carroll (US) dominated across all disciplines last year but this year, it seemed that she was going to have tough competition from Russian rider Victoria Soloveykina who landed a big KGB. With Colleen putting in two clean runs, with technical moves such as Back to Wrapped it will be a close call for the judges who will be announcing the results tonight.
Wind built throughout the early evening allowing the mens heats to kick off. Craig put points on the sheet with a Shifty to Wrapped while Tom Court had seamless runs, landing a variety of moves such as a Slim Chance, Double S-Bend to Blind, Crow Mobe and a 315 making him a contender for the final. Unfortunately, night fell and the last two mens heats were unable to be run and were postponed until the following day.
A 9am start to finish the Slicks discipline was greeted by 30knts of wind, leaving the boys to rig 7m, and test their skills in polar opposite conditions from the day before. As the riders for the Final hit the water, Aaron Hadlow truly showed how unstoppable he is unleashing big tricks such as a Crow Mobe 5, Blind Judge 5 and Back Mobe 5.

A Triple Success in the Sliders for all three North Kiteboarding Riders!
Day 3 of the 2014 Venyu Triple S Invitational saw the infamous Cape Hatteras wind finally arrive and the running of a complete Slider contest. The vibe amongst the riders was electric as they rigged up at the slick, and as the finishing touches were made to the slider park, spectators flocked in to watch this World Class event get underway.
The first four heats were run as a Jam session, (everyone at once) of 30 minutes each. Considering the size of the tight competition area and the amount of riders in each heat, (18 in the first two and 20 in heat three) it truly epitomised 'organised chaos.'
North Kiteboarding riders we out to dominate, with Craig and Tom riding 14m Vegas' in the first heats, switching to 12m and then 9m as the wind gradually built thought the day. Craig impressed the judges across the North Rail with a tail press, front side 5, tapping the rail as he landed. Feeling challenged by the set up of the course Cunningham said; " The biggest challenge for me would be that the features weren't evenly distributed for both tacks. The course never changed so, as a goofy rider, it was harder to rack up points, especially on the big 80 foot John Wayne slider, which remained set for those riding regular."
Tom styled out along the rails, but secured his way through the heats with a big Crow Mobe off the kicker. "It was a great park set-up and the jam session format made for some intense action during the heats. Having four 30min heats to get to the final, made it about endurance. Keeping energy going for over two hours of intense riding is harder than it looks. A few upsets and some big tricks were landed but it felt good to have all three North Kiteboarding riders sitting in the final for the slider event as the sun went down," says Court.
Colleen Carroll cruised through the heats on the 9m Vegas. With clean hits across the park she pulled out a stylish front side 180 tail press to blind across the flat bar to put her in the Finals. She said; "All of the girls were riding really solid and it was made even more intense having mixed heats and riding with the boys. I'm incredibly happy that I advanced through to the Finals with the North boys."
As the sun set on the Final, riders took turns to hit each feature in a Slope Style format. After hours of intense action over the course of the day, tired riders gave their all over two runs through the park. A momentous day full of innovative riding and good vibes. Results will be announced on Friday at the closing ceremony.

just tryin to help....
Norma, at the risk of geeking out and scaring you away from computers, Windows just blows. If you use your computer for anything other than playing solitaire, it makes sense to look into alternatives that are far more dependable.Mac is a great platform, and the hardware is as solid as it gets. A little on the pricey side. You could get a nice used one that has been factory-refurbished for about 1/2 the cost of a brand new one. All Mac resellers are required to sell refurbished products at the same price, so you don't have to worry about whether you're getting ripped off. Here's one I've used before: http://www.smalldog.com/Macs And then, you could work with what you have, replace the Windows OS with one that actually works. I'm typing this on my Linux Mint laptop. It used to run windows 7, but it crashed one too many times, and I was fed up with all the weird driver issues, firewalls, PC viruses, malware, etc. I downloaded the Linux Mint LiveCD from this site: http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php , burned it, installed it after trying it out. Never looked back. It's faster, more dependable and is far more useful to me than Windows ever was.
On my android phone I use "Swipe"...instead of individually taping each key you swipe your finger across the keyboard creating each word. It is very smart and makes texting about 5 times faster...no kidding.
Mac vs. Windows debates never end well. Trust me.
Norma,So sorry your woes persist. When I heard that the tech thought that a virus was your problem, I was dubious that he was going to be able to fix your problem. I hope you can find someone who knows what he is doing. This guy does not. Good luck!
Actually Bill, the reason I gave up on win7 was because of a driver-eating virus... I had to boot into safe mode to retrieve my files. At one point even the videocard driver got munched, and theres nothing worse than looking at a black screen while the computer's humming along.
Go ahead Bill....Peter is much more lenient these days since the gals got a good look at him!!
Actually Bill, the reason I gave up on win7 was because of a driver-eating virus... I had to boot into safe mode to retrieve my files. At one point even the videocard driver got munched, and theres nothing worse than looking at a black screen while the computer's humming along.I got my files off, installed Linux, and it's history.Norma, I'd be happy to send you a disk with Linux Mint on it.
I'm not saying viruses don't exist, but my eyes roll at the tech's knee-jerk diagnosis. There's big bucks in virus scanning, cleaning, and eventually, restoring the system. This can cure a range of problems, but is often totally unnecessary - which I suspect applies to poor Norma. FWIW, I've been running Windows since 1990 and have never gotten a virus. I also have both Win7 and Mac OSX systems on my desk. Now, if I were to say which one gives me the most problems, I would be guilty of the kind of behavior that would get my thread deleted by one of the awesome moderators of this list. So I will not say which system I consider vastly superior for the kind of work I do. But it rhymes with .... no, I couldn't do it ... as tempting as it is ....
I can believe there are big bucks in trying to fix a computer, when someone isnt knowledgeable like me. What do you think was wrong with my computer if it wasnt a virus?How did you get by with no viruses if you also use Windows? I sure would like to know what OP you like the best, but sure wont push you to find out. Norma
I eat a lot of pizza. But IMO both Windows and MacOS are worthy options and a lot of the claims of one being easier or more secure or more stable than the other are based on old information.
Norma,It could be many things, but I would ask you to recall when everything (PDF's, CD's, flash drives, etc.) were working fine. Then I'd try to find out everything you installed (or uninstalled since then) with an eye to one of those being the offending party. Maybe one of those processes did not complete correctly. Every time you make a change to the system, it creates a restore point that you can use to go back to when everything was running fine. I'd probably start there.Most viruses get on systems by the action of the user. I don't open email attachments unless I am certain they come from a trusted source. I avoid clicking email links. I suspect mail that contain such attachments or links may come from a compromised system, even if they say they are from a friend or family member. I don't visit seedy sites. I install Windows updates (2nd Tuesday of each month) the moment they are available, I run the OS firewall and the run in my router. I eat a lot of pizza.When I say which OS is best, it is based on how I use my computers. What's best for me may not be the best for you. But IMO both Windows and MacOS are worthy options and a lot of the claims of one being easier or more secure or more stable than the other are based on old information. An interesting observation - the program on my Windows 7 system that crashes the most and causes me the most headaches is iTunes, an Apple program. Go figure.
