12 Paces without a Head Trailer (2009)
10 December 2009 Comedy 108 mins
The era of the feared sea pirates Klaus Störtebeker and Gödeke Michels is coming to an end. After a long period with no booty at last a bulging ship appears on the horizon. However, Störtebeker is badly wounded in the attempted capture and the pirates suffer ignominious defeat. Not only their ship is down the drain - Störtebeker himself is suddenly plagued by anxiety and doubt about his very existence as a pirate. He is drawn to the beautiful country girl Bille, while Michels gets rebuffed by the friesian princess Okka. In the very moment that the crew have mutinied and co-captain Michels is literally at the end of his tether, they discover on board their ramshackle old tub a most unique wonder weapon. Glory days are quickly revived - until the mighty Hanse consolidate their power and weaponry and go to war against the pirates. Störtebeker and Michels are forced to decide: To live as a farmer or to die as a pirate.

Appalachian Ministries began in the 70s when a group of UC students went out into the communities surrounding the university and saw the great needs all around them. Motivated to share the love, hope, and message of Jesus, AM was formed out of the scriptural basis of 1 John 3:18.
Under the leadership of AM Director Jasmine Newport, student leaders head up teams of UC students and go out to the four AM location sites on a weekly basis. Students work with the children and youth leading them in recreation, crafts, music, and Bible lessons, providing them with food, and aiming to connect them and their families to the local church.
Students who are drawn to this project through their love of children will be astonished with the unexpected emotional and spiritual rewards of their service. As an additional, practical benefit, those who participate in Appalachian Ministries may apply their time as community service hours toward a Leadership/Service Transcript.
How To Get Involved?
Meet at the Edna Taylor House on Monday or Tuesday at 4:30 for the community outreaches.
Monday - Canadatown: Youth & Kids; Mackey Avenue Complex: Kids
Tuesday - Brush Arbor Apartment Complex: Youth & Kids; Mt. Morgan: Kids

Hand Crafted Furniture
We design and build custom furniture.
After a discussion on what you are looking for we then do a sketch of the piece.
That design is then modified in consultation with you to arrive at the finished design of the furniture.
Then colors and woods are decided upon and the piece is then built.
If you are interested in having a piece of furniture designed and hand made, please contact me.

The Labour leader claimed it "beggars belief" that the Culture Secretary remained in his post following revelations his special advisor tipped off James Murdoch's lobbyist about an announcement made by the media regulator Ofcom.
Adam Smith is alleged to have given details of Ofcom's statement on News Corp's proposed takeover of BSkyB the day before it was made in Parliament and while stock markets were still trading.
The special advisor resigned after emails detailing his discussions were disclosed at the Leveson Inquiry. Mr Hunt, however, has insisted he has "acted scrupulously fairly" and has so far resisted pressure to step down despite claims he backed the Murdoch's bid to take over the satellite broadcaster.
This morning, in an interview on the BBC's Today programme, Mr Miliband claimed the idea Mr Adams had been operating as a "lone wolf", and that Mr Hunt was therefore not responsible for his decisions, could not be taken seriously.
He said: "Frankly I think it beggars belief that he's (Mr Hunt) still in his job because to believe that he should stay you have to believe that his special advisor acted as a lone wolf who spent six months in collusion with News Corporation, passing them information that was to be announced in the House of Commons, providing information about discussions with the regulator, providing information about what opposing parties were saying.
"Now of course some special advisors have resigned in the past and their bosses haven't resigned but that's because their bosses didn't know what they were up to.
"This is a completely different category. It was a central issue that his department faced and I just think it is incredible that Jeremy Hunt hasn't resigned and that David Cameron has kept him in his job."
He then suggested the reason the Prime Minister had not already sacked the Cabinet Minister was "because David Cameron has questions to answer and Jeremy Hunt is, if you like, acting as a firewall because if he goes the questions will then move to David Cameron's conversations with Rebecca Brooks and James Murdoch and others."
In his evidence to the Leveson inquiry on Tuesday, Mr Murdoch junior, the former chairman of BSkyB, revealed that the Culture Secretary's key political adviser appeared to give apparently confidential information on a regular basis over several months to Frederic Michel, a lobbyist working for James Murdoch.
At the time, Mr Hunt was acting in a "quasi-judicial" role charged with ruling on whether News Corporation could take over BSkyB.
In public, the Culture Secretary has insisted he has always acted in an independent and impartial manner, but the release of the emails has led to allegations that he was privately colluding with the Murdoch family.
Mr Miliband, while recognising today that the Labour Party had previously been "too close" to News Corp and the Murdochs as well, has demanded his resignation.
He added: "We got too close to the Murdochs and I said that last summer at the time of the phone hacking revelations.
"But….there is a world of difference between being too close to the Murdochs and the kind of pattern of behaviour that we have seen revealed in the last few days at Leveson."

Making Windows 7 case-sensitive. Is it possible? [SOLVED-NOT POSSIBLE]
Hello everyone,
So, as in the title, is it possible to make Windows 7 case sensitive? If Windows 7 were case sensitive, it would allow me to have two files in the same directory called:
But as it is case insensitive, I can't do this. Any ideas? I really need this done as I want to modify an Android ROM, but It has many files inside with case sensitive characters. Thanks in advance

NTFS filesystem IS case sensitive, but the problem is that Windows itself is not. All programs in Windows rely on filenames to have an unique name not including case. I think there has to be a way of enabling full case sensitivity on Windows, but doing so will likely break all sort of things from the simple notepad to the kernel itself (Filenames are Case Sensitive on NTFS Volumes), so I don't think it's a good idea.
Another chance would be to use NFS (NOT NTFS), which is supported on Windows 2003 and 2008 (but not on either XP or 7). No idea on how exactly it works or is supposed to be used, but it can be done (Configure Case Sensitivity for File and Folder Names).
In the end, the easiest solution I think is to use Linux, which have such feature, at least in a virtual machine.

Why didn't I check this out on Trip Advisor first.... When we first arrived sent to condo that smelled terible, saw the kitchen and we were out of there and back at the desk asking for a different room. Next one no smell but still not very clean and now one room double bed other 2 singles. Had been told would be 2 doubles, John at the desk who runs the place "lady I can't give you perfection" Pots and pans should have been thrown out. We went out and bought our own. Plus cooking utensils were filthy. Bought those as well.
The last night we were there 4 policeman 2 with assault rifles show up to check out some sort of disturbance in the condo next to us. The reaction at the front desk when I told them "oh that's not one of the condos we rent". They had a pat answer for eveything, never an apology . Please don't ever stay there.

In the midst of what conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh called a "remarkable development" about the Republican Party, he gave an assessment of Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Limbaugh appeared on Fox News Sunday and was asked by host Chris Wallace about Trump.
" … you don't win everything. And you ultimately have to take what you get. I think on the case of Trump, there's a much bigger upside than downside," Limbaugh said.
Advertisement - story continues below
Limbaugh noted how Trump has transformed Republican politics.
"I think there's something remarkable happening here that nobody is talking about. … For the longest time, the Republican Party has told us that they can't win with just Republican votes," he said.
TRENDING: Joe Biden Says the Man Who Shot the Texas Church Shooter Shouldn't Have Had an AR-15
"Well, guess who's doing it? Donald Trump is doing it. Donald Trump has put together a coalition, whether he knows it or not, whether he intended to or not, he's put together a coalition that's exactly what the Republican Party says that it needs to win and, yet, look like what they're doing. They're trying to get Trump out of the race, because they're not in charge of it. They're not in control of it. And it's the most amazing thing to watch this happen."

"They were this way with Ronald Reagan, before Reagan was elected," he said. "They tried to deny Reagan in '76 and they tried to deny Reagan in 1980."
"They're not conservative," Limbaugh said. "This is — when I hear Governor Romney in his speech last week talk about how the Republican Party must stand for legitimate conservative values. They don't. That's why they're in the problem — having the problem they're having. They're not conservative. They're being run by their donors."
Limbaugh talked of the split between rank and file Republicans and the party's elite.
"… the disconnect between the Republican Party establishment and the Democrat establishment and the people of this country is longer, broader, wider than I've ever seen it," he said. "The establishment candidates in this race cannot get noticed. The Republican primary voters, whether they're close primaries or open, are voting for anybody but candidates attached to the Republican establishment."
Advertisement - story continues below
Limbaugh was asked to assess the leading GOP candidates.
Asked about Sen. Marco Rubio he said, "I don't see where he's getting traction anywhere.
"Whatever the reality is the perception is that he went to Washington and threw in with the, quote-unquote, "establishment". He cannot — he cannot recover from that. Has not been able to recover from that. He is seen as now the candidate, the Republican Party and its donors have decided to glom onto next. … Marco now is attached to that establishment. I don't see his future, not in this particular cycle," Limbaugh said
Limbaugh spoke highly of Sen. Ted Cruz.
Advertisement - story continues below
"The establishment doesn't like him either. It's not just Trump. That's because he is who he is. He is conservative. He does want to get government out of people's lives and that — we can't have that in the establishment," he said.
Limbaugh said that stopping Trump at the Republican convention is something he expects, and fears.
"… if that happens, there's a walkout. If that happens, then you've got utter chaos, because it will exemplify, typify exactly what has happened to the Republican Party and its base," he said.
However, Limbaugh soft-pedaled doom and gloom.
"I think it ends with everything working out. … I think we're going to have a nominee, whoever it is, and we'll have support for the nominee," he said.
"I think we're going to move forward because I think at the end of all of this, everybody is going to ultimately realize that if the Democrat Party that is the most destructive force in this country. It's not one of these Republicans. And they have to be stopped and they have to be stopped in this election if this country is to be restored to its founding principles and the ideals that the majority of Americans associate with this country."

A kite has the points A(1,3.5) , B(3,5), C(3,2.5) and D(a,b). Find point D vgiven that the diagonal BD is divided in the ratio BM:MD =1:3
- print Print
- list Cite
Since ABCD is a kite, the diagonals are perpendicular and given that BM:MD=1:3 we know that BD bisects AC.
Then M is the midpoint of AC, and the coordinates of M are `((1+3)/2,(3.5+2.5)/2)=(2,3)` .
We can use the distance formula to find BM: `BM=sqrt((3-2)^2+(5-3)^2)=sqrt(5)` . Then `MD=3sqrt(5)` .
D will lie on the line through B and M. The slope of the line is `m=(5-3)/(3-2)=2` . The equation of the line is y-3=2(x-2) or y=2x-1.
If teh coordinates of D are (a,b) then we can write them as (a,2a-1) as D lies on the line BM.
Then we can find the distance from D to M using the point (a,2a-1), while we know that the distance is `3sqrt(5)` ; so
`3sqrt(5)=sqrt(5)sqrt((a-2)^2)` Dividing by `sqrt(5)` we get:
`sqrt((a-2)^2)=3` Now `sqrt(x^2)=|x|` so `sqrt((a-2)^2)=|a-2|`
Then `-(a+2)=3 ==>a=-1`
Point D is at (-1,-3)

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by tromba, Mar 27, 2005.
Hi, guys!
What brand walk behind would you suggest I buy - eXmark, Ferris, or Scag?
anyone that dosen't have pistol grips if you run it all day your wrist will be sore. I myself would buy the toro. I priced one the other day belt drive 44in 17 kaw. Floating deck $3200
What size deck?
They are all good brands in their own rite. Demo as many as you can. Check out the dealers that are selling them and look for a few things:1) is the sales staff knowledgeable with all the products they sell. 2) do they keep plenty of parts on hand. 3) is their service department large enough to handle multiple mowers at once. If something happens to yours, you don't want to be waiting for 2 weeks to get it back. 4) are they friendly, respectful, and attentive to your needs. Sometimes these simple things can be hard to find, and you'll find in the long run that they are far more important than the name on your mower.
I just picked up a eXmark Metro HP 36" on a impulse buy and I really like it so far. I already wish it was a hydro drive though. All you listed are fine machines and I think you would be delighted with any of them. The real key here is to buy from a dealer that knows your name after the sell. Dealer support is by far one of the most important issues when buying a piece of equipment!
Mowman, Where in Ohio did you get the price on the Toro, The price I got was 400 higher.
JD new 7H17. 48" 7 iron deck, hydro. Great machine. Give it a look!
how much do you want to spend? will this walkbehind have to go through gates? if it were me, I would buy a double hydro if I could. the eXmark turf tracer hp's look pretty good.
if your looking for a mower to go through 36" gates, my experience with the better outdoor products has been second to none. I believe that I could get parts from them quicker than my eXmark dealer. anyway, here's the website. betteroutdoorproducts.com it is a single hydro which means that you won't have any slippage, as with belts, but you also have to guide it manually. If you have more questions, feel free to PM me and I'll try to answer them as best I can.
exmark 48 inch viking, that is what I have and I love it!
I use 36" Scag WB, Belt Drive, 13 HP KAW and its a good durable
mower. I keep up its maintenance schedule,and it runs great.
The reason I went with the 36" was for entering gates.May be
later this year I'll buy a 48" Hydro.

Thread: using a temp table

Unanswered: using a temp table
I have a query of the form:
select * from (
select contact.id
, contact.name
, (select from detail inner join myDetail using (detail.id) ) as cost
from contact
inner join user using (user_id) and user_id = 1
) as OUTTABLE
where cost > 30;
The problem is that all the tables in the query are big, so it takes a long time to get results from OUTTABLE (around 20 seconds) . When I add the where clause at the end (cost > 30), the query becomes too long (around 200 seconds sometimes).
To make the query run faster, I thought of creating a temp table to store OUTTABLE, and then just filter on the temp table using cost > 30. That would improve the speed of the query tremendously (total time was around 23 seconds) . The problem with that approach is that I'm writing an application, and more than one user might need to run the query at the same time. (Different user should get different results because they have different user ids, and other numbers in the query would be different). Also, I can't just create and drop temp tables in an enterprise application (we are not using ejbs in our applications either), it seems like bad style.
Anyhow, how could I make this query faster so that the values of OUTTABLE is retrieved first, then the where clause is evaluated to filter?
Thanks in advance.

Without knowing the structure of your tables and the rationale for your query, it is impossible to give any good advice.
However, often there are better ways to handle complex queries than to have nested subselects. Hugh Darwen's seminar mentions some ways around this. (This seminar is a diatribe about the failings of SQL, but in so doing, he shows some interesting possibilities with SQL)
Also, PostgreSQL has many ways you can influence the query optimizer to better use indexes. (You do have indexes on your 'cost' and 'id' columns, don't you?).
Another good option is to write a stored procedure as a set returning function in PL/PgSQL that handles this logic. Functions can be declared as cacheable, also, so that they are much more optimized than regular queries.

I work with Oracle databases most of the time at work. 200 seconds for a query doesn't seem very long in my eyes. How much data are you going after? We have some tuned SQL that runs for a hour only because it's going after 50 tables with millions of records on each table. There queires are for reports though maybe you are using the SQL within an application?I suppose depending on what you need the results for 200 seconds could be long if the app is hanging while the user waits for this.

Senator Grassley said yesterday that Obama won't nominate a bomb thrower to the Supreme Court. I guess that means I can cross William Ayers off the list then…
I appreciate Grassley's insight into this matter. Sure there are a few Republicans in Iowa who like to find fault for the man. I, for one, think it is incredible to see how much power and influence that Grassley yields even in the minority party. We are fortunate to have such a powerful voice in Washington DC.
Most of Grassley's power comes from his position on the Senate Finance Committee. Grassley will be the lead opposition to Obama's health care proposal. This week Grassley floated his own health care proposal. The debate on whether or not be need socialize medicine in the country will be one of the most important in our history. It will affect the economy, government entitlements, and could even deal with social issues like gay marriage and abortion.
That alone should be enough on Grassley's plate, but then there is his position on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Grassley will be the chair or ranking member of if re-elected in 2010. Grassley will have the ability to run Obama's nominees through the ringer. This is a good thing.
I'm sure that Obama sent signals to Grassley the other day that his nominee will not be a radical, but the vocal left of his party doesn't want a liberal female, or a liberal Hispanic female justice. They want to appoint the first open homosexual to the Supreme Court.
The New York Times wrote today that, "Two of Mr. Obama's potential Supreme Court nominees are openly gay." Many gay-rights activists are upset that Obama has not been the "fierce advocate"' for gay-rights that he said he would be on the campaign trail. Now they see the possibility of putting one of their own on the Supreme Court.
The makeup of the court should be based on an individual's qualifications, not the color of their skin, ethnicity, religion, or gender. More troubling is that the vocal left now wants to select Supreme Court Justices based on their behavior. It's bad enough that we have judges who already openly admit that they legislate from the bench. Look at what Obama's leading candidate to be on the Supreme Court said.
"The Court of Appeals is where laws are made," Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
And yet, we wonder how the Iowa Supreme Court made its decision on allowing gay marriage…
If you think Obama has changed the fabric of America since being elected, just think of the impact he will have on the future by packing the Court with people like Sotomayor or openly gay activist judges.
So will Obama appoint a "bomb thrower" like Ayers? Probably not, but that's the least of my concerns.

ASA is an amazing organization that helps athletes with disabilities achieve their goals of participating in various competitions. They don't stop at just pairing athletes for a single race, they have a mentoring program that builds relationships between the ASA volunteers and the athletes they serve. As an occupational therapy student, it is great to have an organization that enables young adults with disabilities to meet their full potential and participate in meaningful ways! They also use state of the art equipment for their all their atheletes.
I have had the fortune to be part of quite a few of ASA's events. ASA brings joy, passion, and strength to those so often left behind. This organization does things with excellence, professionalism, and grace. This is a non-profit that gets it right. The faces of challenged athletes as they cross the finish lines will give you the chills. Being at these races gives life to everyone there. I truly think this is not just a way the challenged athletes are served, it is a way they serve the rest of us!

Who would dream of being against love? No one.
Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions.
But is there something a bit worrisome about all this uniformity of opinion? Is this the one subject about which no disagreement will be entertained, about which one truth alone is permissible? Consider that the most powerful organized religions produce the occasional heretic; every ideology has its apostates; even sacred cows find their butchers. Except for love.
Hence the necessity for a polemic against it. A polemic is designed to be the prose equivalent of a small explosive device placed under your E-Z-Boy lounger. It won't injure you (well not severely); it's just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.
Lest the reader attack all this as simplistic, one-sided, or an icky endorsement of "sin," Kipnis insists that this book is a "polemic." It's supposed to be one-sided; it's allowed to be simplistic. She's arguing for the sake of argument, and let others answer or not, as they choose. For the sake of this argument, the author maintains that adulterers are, or may be, courageous social pioneers, challenging the larger society much in the manner of Oliver Twist: "Please sir, may I have some more?" More pleasure, more fun, more intensity, more authenticity. Carolyn See

Love it! Sweet and smooth tasty :) It is full of berry and blueberry flavor.
I did enjoy this tea. I don't care for the rose flavor, though. But that's just me.
I love how this is sweet and cake like with the vanilla but4 fresh and tart with the fruit. Awesome hot and cold.
This tea rocks ! It worths more than 5 stars. I make it,add some sugar and drink it as a juice! It has a strong red colour, a strong smell and a strong flavour ! The honey or sugar put in value it"s taste,make it stronger,but it is also good with no sugar ! The vanilla taste is not so strong..
I thought it would have at least some hints of vanilla taste, but can't smell or taste it at all, only sour.

Australian-based design firm Sumu Design has created a temporary haven for today's well-heeled travelers with the new Qantas Hong Kong lounge writes Christie Lee.
June 18th, 2014
Airport lounges are getting increasingly more luxurious. Yet more and more, today's well-heeled jet-setters are looking beyond self-serve buffets, newspaper racks and television screens. With Qantas Airways' new lounge at the Hong Kong International Airport, Australian-based design firm Sumu Design has conceived a space that combines sleek lines and luxurious materials while at the same time paying tribute to Hong Kong's unique cityscape.
Available for both First and Business class passengers, as well as eligible frequent flyer members, the 2000-square-metre lounge accommodates up to 300.
According to Felice Carlino, Director of Sumu Design, the Qantas Singapore lounge (see our feature here) and the Qantas Hong Kong lounge are based on a similar design approach, but while the former is located in a confined space, the latter is situated in the open cabin, from where passengers can enjoy views of the airport apron and surrounding terminals. From its location, the lounge also gets plenty of natural light by day.
The layout of the lounge reflects the city's unique landscape. "Hong Kong is the perpetual Asian city: a fluid, swiftly evolving metropolis surrounded by stunning wilderness. It is a vibrant, vertical city split by an expanse of water and surrounded by calm and nature. Hong Kong also represents both a vital business gateway into China and a home away from home for a large international business community," Carlino says of the inspiration behind the design.
Taking up shop at the centre of the lounge, the bar and dining areas represent the bustling Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, while the spacious lounge area is a nod to the city's sprawling beaches and hilly regions.
Another striking feature that has always differentiated Hong Kong from other metropolitan cities is its readiness to expand not only horizontally, but vertically, with ever taller skyscrapers built year on year. This unique aspect of the city is translated into the canopy-like steel structures that form the skeleton of the lounge. They also act as sleek dividers, creating ample private and secluded spaces for the traveler who wants to be away from the action – albeit temporarily. "They provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, while still remaining connected to the action," explains Carlino.
According to Carlino, the mix of raw and polished finishing "reflects at once a colonial and modern Hong Kong." The raw concrete that is being liberally used in the bar and tables is juxtaposed with the leather banquette seating and timber textured floor tiles. Meanwhile, the wall tiles are a spin on a classical Chinese geometric pattern.
The Qantas Hong Kong lounge was designed by Sumu Design in collaboration with Caon Studio and PDM International Hong Kong.

Yogurt, Pancakes, & Buttermilk oh my!
I made yogurt! And it's actually good! The girls have mentioned a couple of times they wanted yogurt. Funny thing is, when I buy yogurt they either don't like it or it doesn't get eaten before the expiration date. I like plain yogurt, okay vanilla too, but I like to add stuff to it and the stuff you buy at the store is either too sweet, has too much old fruit in it, or it's too sour. So, I decided to do some research to see how I could make yogurt without a yogurt maker.
I finally decided to try this recipe. It was a very easy process -although I wanted to add some sugar and vanilla to the batch, I'm glad I didn't- and my son got to help. This morning when we opened the jar to have some it was the best plain yogurt I have ever had. Nothing in the stores compares. It is definitely one that we are going to keep. We are going to tweak it a bit next time, as I would like a thicker product. I made a half batch and I may have been off a bit in my measurements.
Next time I make it I will photograph the process and share the recipe with my tweaks.
Of course we made pancakes this last week and with homemade buttermilk too! I've raved of these pancakes before and now I'm going to share with you the recipe. I've shared before how much I enjoy Happy's recipe I make her recipe and the only exception is I've been using unbleached flour. I did discover with our homemade buttermilk I need to use a little bit more buttermilk (really just a couple of tablespoons)because of the thickness of the batter. It is a thick batter on its own but add in our buttermilk and it's almost a dough :)
Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes
3 cups buttermilk *homemade buttermilk recipe to follow
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups whole wheat flour *or in our case just flour
Mix all the liquid ingredients, beat for one minute on high. Mix in sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix in flour until batter is smooth but thick.
Cook on a hot (350 degree) buttered griddle.
Making your own buttermilk is incredibly easy, you just have to be patient. I could have sworn that I took pictures, but I can't find them. So, I will have to share those at a later time. The recipe, as mentioned, is so easy.
Homemade buttermilk
3 cups milk
1 cup buttermilk starter (any buttermilk)
Pour it directly into a clean quart size jar, mix well. Put the lid on. Wrap it in a kitchen towel and place in a warm place, undisturbed for 24 hours. *I put mine in the oven with the light on overnight, but it was on the counter before that* After the 24 hrs is up, shake it up, and open to make sure it has thickened up and smells sweet. Perfect! Just put it in the fridge, it will thicken more once it's in the fridge. You've made buttermilk and now you can go enjoy your pancakes. If you save a cup of this buttermilk, you'll have a starter for next batch and you'll never run out of buttermilk and all the land will be happy because they can have pancakes and buttermilk whenever they want.
2 comments:
yum! i've never made buttermilk before, always thought, well, i hardly use it, so why make it. but i'd use it once a week for pancakes! my lil girl loves her some pancakes!ReplyDelete
i have made yogurt dozens of times though, and i'm sorry to say, it never comes out very thick. they add pectin or carageenen to store yogurt to give it that extra thickness. if you find a recipe that works though, please share! i'd love to know a trick.
We make our yogurt too. The longer you let it incubate, the thicker it gets, but it also gets a stronger/more sour flavor when you incubate it longer. Adding 1/4 cup of dry milk for each quart of yogurt makes it thicker too.ReplyDelete
I found a yogurt maker at goodwill and use it to do the incubating. There's a hundred ways to keep your yogurt warm while it sets. . . I just found it easiest to plug in the little appliance than to deal with hot water baths or coolers, or other things. I'll have to see if I ever posted my yogurt making method. . . I can't remember now.

The Public Health Law Center recently released an FAQ that answers common questions regarding tobacco use among the homeless population in the US, including those who are transitionally, chronically, and episodically homeless. This FAQ includes policies and strategies that local and state organizations can take to reduce tobacco prevalence among this population.
Some key points:
- Estimates of the number of U.S. homeless range from approximately 565,000 on any given night to 2.3-2.5 million in any given year
- Despite recent decrease in overall un-sheltered homelessness nationally, only 18 states recently reported decreases in the number of people living in unsheltered locations, including the street, cars, and abandoned buildings
- At least 70% of all homeless individuals smoke, 4x that of the general population and 2.5x that among impoverished Americans
- Approximately 20-30% of homeless adults have a serious mental illness and roughly 30-50% either have substance use or dual disorders, along with a 68-80% prevalence of cigarette smoking

A Quick Peek At Wizardry Online
Wizardry Online
Developer: Gamepot Inc
Publisher: Sony Online Entertainment
Wizardry online is an MMORPG type of game, it tried to bring innovations on online gaming but failed on some terms. Though it offers us new and exciting elements, the horrendous graphics and the command options are just gawky, not to mention the connection issues. Some of you might not believe me that this game was just released recently, its poor graphics and texture might give you the conclusion that this game circulated around the 90's. I laud their imagination of creating a permanent death structure, but what I hate about this thing is the connection issues; disconnection is the last thing you ever wanna experience considering that the character you grind for months could end up in the burial ground.
Wizardry online is not designed for those who played online gaming occasionally, these are for the hardcore gamers who are searching for extreme challenges. You need to download their game client which is more than 2GB. After game installation and a few updates, it will show you a welcome message similar to that of a Final Fantasy. Actually the opening credit is a lot better than any graphics in the game. After a long time of waiting you can now choose your preferred server, another thing I noticed is that you are not allowed to use the minimize option, you just sat there and wait until you successfully connected on the game. Don't say I didn't warn you about the prolonged period of waiting for the game to load.
The visual element falls flat, the swatches and palettes including the character design does not give you any excitement. As a matter of fact the game does not give you any fascinating images. You are given a chance to take the part of a human, dwarf, elf, gnome and the porkul. After finishing on the character design and choosing of your race, you are required to pick a class. After the long time of downloading the game, waiting for a successful connection, creating the character (the process is so frustrating if I may say). You are now ready to polish your character, take note find some companions to avoid the high risk of the permanent death feature. Mind you, this game is not to be taken in solo; the group finder option makes sure that you can seek for a companion inside the game. If you are thinking of grinding your characters into a place packed with high level characters, you might want to ask someone to look after you, remember there is a permanent death feature in this game.
Another unique feature of this game is the leveling up, unlike most of the online games you can hear that sweet sound of ding, here you are required to go to a certain fountain or inn to pay a visit to a character that will determine your increase and bad news you can also decrease your stats. Here is the game that will sort out hardcore players to the casual one. The constant hazard of losing your life make it a lot more extreme that separates this game from the others. Think about losing the character where you spent a lot of time and effort in grinding him only to end in the graveyard. It needs a total dedication if you really want to master this game.
But not to lose hope since this game offers you a chance to revive a newbie character. When it is your first time to die you will be sent in a realm where enemies are roaming around, be quick and find a shrine that allows you to revive your character, if you end up in a black angel sculpture, there is a higher chance to resurrect your character, if you die several times on the process the chance of revival shrinks.
Wizardry online is introducing a new dawn of the online games, but will the gamers bite its bait? This game will definitely attract the hardcore gamers; others will just take a look at it and leave after their death. Gamepot made a bold move in creating this game, though the graphics are bit disappointing, I'll still advice you to play this game. This game is not designed for those AFK gamers. Its up to you if you wanna experience the grueling time of downloading and waiting for the connection before you can appreciate the ingenuity of the game.

Barriers to Consultation in Laboratory Medicine:
What They Are and How to Eliminate Them
Michael Laposata M.D., PhD
Edward and Nancy Fody
Professor of Pathology
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
Pathologist in Chief, Vanderbilt University Hospital
Two major unmet needs of clinicians
from the clinical laboratory
Consultation on :
Appropriate test selection
Correct interpretation of test results
Patient safety errors associated with incorrect laboratory test selection and misinterpretation of test results have been largely unrecognized for 20 years: A 40-year review of the literature
The number of articles written per decade since 1970 that discussed the problem
of too many tests being ordered (left bar in pair) and the number of papers written
offering a solution to the problem (right bar in pair)
The number of articles written per decade since 1970 that discussed the problem of errors in test selection (left bar in pair) and the number of papers written offering a solution to the problem (right bar in pair)
The number of articles written per decade since 1970 that discussed the problem
of errors in test result interpretation (left bar in pair) and the number of papers written offering a solution to the problem (right bar in pair)
Number of articles written per decade since 1970 regarding the adverse outcomes as a result of errors in test selection and result interpretation
For the last 15 years, we focused on the the adverse outcomes as a result of errors in test selection and result interpretation
growing presence of the problem
It is now time to begin taking measures to
reduce the problems associated with :
Appropriate test selection
Correct interpretation of test results
The Clinical Laboratory Integration into Healthcare CollaborativeTM is currently active
Each of its projects to improve the correct selection of laboratory tests and the interpretation of test results is briefly described in this presentation
Barrier 1: reducing incorrect test selection and misinterpretation of test resultsToo many lab tests from which to select
In the last decade it has become virtually impossible to have
enough facts in one's brain to provide optimum care
The rapid growth
of molecular
testing begins

would be informative because minor cystic fibrosis mutations have become associated with chronic sinusitis and chronic pancreatitis -
But testing for these indications is not often performed
would be informative because minor cystic fibrosis mutations have become associated with chronic sinusitis and chronic pancreatitis
And now, it is realized that individual mutations are now classified into groups 1 to 5 and treatment for patients in these groups may be different !
Project to illustrate the challenge of
correct test selection for clinicians
There are many tests in diagnostic
coagulation – how difficult is
correct test selection for evaluation of a
patient with a prolonged PTT ?
Project co-leaders : Marisa Marques and Michael Laposata
3 experts in clinical coagulation were asked
to independently design algorithms for
evaluation of a prolonged PTT
The hypothesis was that a simple algorithm
could be used to help clinicians correctly select
tests to effectively evaluate such patients
Is this the correct evaluation of a prolonged PTT for every patient?
Degrade heparin in sample and repeat PTT -if the PTT normalizes, heparin is the cause
PTT mixing study (50:50 mix of patient & normal plasma)
PTT remains prolonged
PTT Normalizes
Factor deficiency-measure factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII
Inhibitor, most often a Lupus anti-coagulant; may be a Factor VIII inhibitor if PTT mixing study first normalizes and then becomes prolonged
Perform tests for specific inhibitor suggested by results of PTT mixing study
The experts concluded that one universal algorithm failed to suggest the correct tests to evaluate a prolonged PTT in a large percentage of cases-
Clinical variables – limited in number –
also needed to be considered to order the correct tests
Notably, whether the patient is bleeding, is an inpatient or outpatient, and if the patient is a neonate
Six different algorithms had to be designed to maximize the likelihood for correct test selection to evaluate a prolonged PTT
Conclusion : Even in the absence of molecular testing in the evaluation of a prolonged PTT, selection of the correct tests to evaluate a prolonged PTT is a significant challenge for most clinicians –
Because there is not only a large number of tests to consider,
but depending on the clinical circumstances, different large groups of tests may need to be considered –
Even for the simple evaluation of a prolonged PTT
Potential Solution
Extensive development of acceptable testing algorithms developed by experts for clinicians to use –
That actually makes it difficult to order the incorrect tests !
With the large number of names and abbreviations for the same test –
How can the clinician know with certainty if the test selected is the desired one ?
Project co-leaders : Elissa Passiment and James Meisel
:Vitamin D2ErgosterolVitamin D3Cholecalciferol25-0H vitamin D225-0H vitamin D325-0H vitamin D25 hydroxy vitamin D225 hydroxy vitamin D325 hydroxy vitamin D1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D21,25 (OH)2 vitamin D31,25 (OH)2 vitamin D1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D21,25 dihydroxy vitamin D31,25 dihydroxy vitamin DVitamin D 25 Hydroxy D2 and D3Vitamin D 1,25 Dihydroxy
In addition –
The number of abbreviations
created for laboratory information
systems for vitamin D and its
multiple forms is almost limitless
Potential solution
Software development that processes clinician test requests and compares named tests to those in a large indexed database of names and abbreviations and asks the clinician
"Did you mean…" if there is any uncertainty
It is important to determine what practicing clinicians know about laboratory test selection and result interpretation
A project was initiated to survey clinicians
to determine the opportunity for improved assistance
on laboratory test selection and result interpretation
This would include laboratory consultation and enhanced decision support
Project leader : John Hickner
Establish from focus groups of physicians "behind the glass", key challenges physicians face in laboratory test ordering and result reporting / interpretation
Use results of the national survey of primary care physicians to identify strategies that lessen those challenges
Results from behind the glass interviews indicate that :
Some physicians continue to use only routine tests for diagnosis and are confident with their knowledge about a limited number of test results
Some physicians understand their lack of knowledge in test ordering and test interpretation but turn most frequently to resources, such as online resources and colleagues, for help
Nearly all physicians do not think of consulting with the laboratory but are very desirable of expert information from laboratory directors, if it were easily available.
"You don't talk to a Radiologist or Pharmacist in a hospital, you talk to a colleague. You talk to a lab, it's a black box…"
"I don't think about say calling the clinical pathologist. They have not made themselves available to help me; I don't know who they are"
"Getting through the maze on the telephone [with the laboratory] is difficult."
"there's no follow-up, it's up to us, if we miss it…Why couldn't they have some reminder system in the lab for abnormal results?"
National sample of Family Practice and Internal Medicine physicians drawn from AMA Master File
Target sample size of 1600 cases
Survey delivered via Web
Full OMB approval
Robust statistical design to support analysis
The Prospective Generation of Data to Test Whether:
Failing to order necessary laboratory tests delays diagnosis, appropriate treatment and/or worsens patient outcomes
and if
Inappropriate utilization of laboratory test results delays diagnosis, appropriate treatment and/or worsens patient outcomes
Do Errors in Test Selection and Result Interpretation Adversely Affect Patient Outcome ?
Project leader : Paul Epner
Pilot Studies will be performed in the following
clinical areas :
Hepatitis, Coagulation, Autoimmunity, Thyroid,
Tumor Markers
In the US, the UK, and Italy
To establish a system in pilot studies which estimates the magnitude of the problems of incorrect test selection and result interpretation
To use the data from the pilot studies to establish an assessment system for errors in test selection and result interpretation across the field of laboratory medicine
A project will be performed to collect data from medical schools in the US that reveal :
The amount of instruction on test selection and
result interpretation
The courses in which such training exists
Project Co-leaders : Brian Smith and John Hickner
The limited knowledge of clinicians about how the laboratory functions and how to interpret test results may have arisen because the pathology taught in medical school is predominantly anatomic pathology
To pass, most medical students must know what a heart looks like under the microscope after a heart attack – and not what blood tests are needed to diagnose a heart attack
But no one does a heart biopsy to diagnose a heart attack!
In the coming months, the survey will be prepared and sent to all medical schools in the United States
Medical students in the individual schools will assist in the completion of the survey of the curriculum
Collaborators from the American Medical Student Association and the American Association of Medical Colleges will assist in the design and distribution of the survey
Goal: Survey all 133 allopathic and 26 osteopathic U.S medical schools
Letter to Deputy Dean for Education, Course Director for Laboratory Medicine & Pathology, accompanied by letter of support from CDC
Recruit one medical student (via AMSA) per school to help complete the survey. Incentive: lottery for 3 iPads for the students (not the faculty)
Analyze survey and subdivide by basic demographics
Include a required rotation in the clinical years that involves exposure to the diagnostic specialties, including laboratory medicine
Include laboratory medicine concepts in the pre-clinical curriculum in some way
Major goals of this project in the coming months for
pathology residents
To collect from educators and residents perceptions about components of training that promote the trainees' ability to provide consultative service in laboratory medicine
To observe resident training activities identified by educators of residents as promoting the trainees' ability to provide consultative service
Project co-leaders : Robert Hoffman and Michael Laposata
Identify these best training practices and disseminate them to all pathology training programs
Establish a requirement for consultative activity by residents in laboratory medicine that is clinically valuable and carefully overseen by lab directors, like any other clinical service

A white paper from Marchex published earlier this year is raising is great questions, and offering even better answers, to the national brand-local advertising model. Marchex used data from online campaign, digital sourced leads, and interviews with business leaders to observe some interesting trends in "national-local" advertising and business.
The data tells a few interesting stories, especially that importance of coordinating national and local campaigns. The auto-insurance industry gives a prime example of a national brand where business is done primarily with local affiliates. We all know Allstate, Geico, State Farm and so on, but when we're ready to purchase we go straight to our local representative. And that local relationship is no small pittance. $178 billion of business is done locally with auto insurers, according to Marchex. To put that in context, we do $186 billion in business with all e-commerce categories combined.
And advertisers have taken note – ad-spends on the local level are expected to increase 20% by 2017.
So this national-local model is easy enough, right? A national auto insurer can run its national campaign to spread awareness while local affiliates can buy spots on radio, in local publications, etc. But that model turns out to be toxic to the overall business model because local affiliates end up competing with themselves. And while competition is usually good, Marchex finds that this form of competition can double the cost of a lead.
The solution is simple, national brands need to coordinate with their local affiliates. So an insurance ad running in Norman, Oklahoma can follow its usual branding strategy with a reminder to visit your local affiliate. Of course, in crowded urban areas, which one? As Marchex notes, mobile devices are somewhat alleviating the problem by allowing consumers to find their nearest dealer.
A good national-local strategy involves a lot of elements. Just like their consumers, businesses are present on a multitude of formats. Online search ads, digital banner campaigns, social media, radio and television are just a few of the tools local advertisers use. And leads generated on one platform might cross over to another. Marchex notes that anywhere from 81% to 89% of consumers who see digital campaigns prefer to get in touch over the phone.
And what does Marchex have to say about our local business owners? They're overwhelmed by digital and don't consider themselves internet-savvy. That doesn't mean they don't want to get involved in digital, they just need a helping hand. For example, while Google search ads can be an effective tool in driving local traffic, 40% of the calls generated from those ads are wronger numbers, spam or customer service calls, reports Marchex. The solution is to diversify online assets.

While the district administrations and civic agencies were quick to remove the remains of Durga idols that were immersed in the Yamuna river on Tuesday, insoluble materials like wood, plastics, cloths and bamboo frame were found strewn along the river bank till late Wednesday evening.
And rag pickers are making money by collecting some of these waste materials that they resell. Delhi water minister Kapil Mishra has assured cleaning up of river banks.
"This year, idol immersions were properly organised and I have instructed to clean up the river bank within this week," Mishra told MAIL TODAY. He said the Delhi government is planning mega arrangements for Chhath Puja, which will be performed at 180 ghats in the national Capital.
ALSO READ: Bihar town tense, Sec 144 imposed after violence over Durga Puja, Muharram processions
However, officials claimed cleaning up of the river bank would be a lengthy process. The district administration had set up temporary enclosures to collect flowers and waste materials.
The three municipal corporations said they have deployed around 150 sanitation workers to clean up the ghats. Civic agencies claimed the cleaning of the Yamuna is a routine drive of the corporation. However, during the festive seasons special measures are taken to clear the waste materials.
"The Delhi government's irrigation and flood control department collects the bamboos and other materials from the river banks. The civic workers then transport these materials in trucks to the landfill sites. We have three trucks stationed at the ghats for the work. The cleaning up work will take a day," said a corporation spokesperson.
Last year the National Green Tribunal had banned immersion of nonbiodegradable idols using plastic, Plaster of Paris (POP) and harmful colours.
