To Tip or Not to Tip

Noticed someone mentioned tipping in another thread and it got me thinking:
Oprah was boycotted by many for suggesting that in these tough times, reducing the standard tip to 10% was okay.

It honestly depends on service. If I have crappy service I'm not going to tip as well as if I have good service. I understand that everyone has good-days/bad days, and that can affect service, but if your day has been so bad that you give me crappy service, maybe you shouldn't be at work. KWIM?
Now for tipping the mail man and like at Christmas, sorry not going to happen!
|Mon, 08-02-2010 - 8:40pm
FTR: my comment regarding tipping well wasn't really speaking about at restaurants. There I will tip depending on the service.
My tip comments were concerning things like tipping my building contractor and his workers, the people who delivered a shed, installed a mirror, built a fence, did landscaping, put on a roof, sold me insurance, cut my hair, my painter and his crew, my tile guy, plumber, AC man, electrician, furniture movers, appliance deliverers, heck...I even sent money to the lady who accidentally hit my son's car in the parking lot where he worked (not that I'd call that a tip--more like a token of appreciation). Anyone who goes above and beyond to provide quality service...anyone who's taken care of my multiple times.
At restaurants though even with abysmal service the minimum I'd leave is 10%. And I'd follow it up with a letter to the management. And for exceptional service I might leave 25% or 30% and follow that up with a letter of appreciation as well.

The chef does not rely on tips to supplement the income. Some restaurants may share a % of the tips with the chef but those are few and far between. I'm not sure if you quoted the whole info on the $2.13 post, if so I apologize for reposting it...
"If so, your employer is only required to pay $2.13 an hour in direct wages if that amount plus the tips received equals at least the federal minimum wage of $7,25 per hour. Your employer can only do that if you are informed about the tip credit allowance, if your employer is able to show that you earn at least the minimum wage when direct wage and tip are combined and allows you to retain all tips. In a lot of states your employer is allowed to install a valid tip pooling arrangement in which all employees participate. When your job is a combined tipped and a non-tipped profession, the tip credit is always only for the hours spent in the tipped occupation."

Product description
'Banville is superb ...there are not many historical novels of which it can be said that they illuminate both the time that forms their subject matter and the time in which they are read: Doctor Copernicus is among the very best of them' - "The Economist". The work of Nicholas Koppernigk, better known as Copernicus, shattered the medieval view of the universe and led to the formulation of the image of the solar system we know today. Here his life is powerfully evoked in a novel that offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence, haunted by a malevolent brother and baffled by the conspiracies that rage around him and his ideas while he searches for the secret of life. 'Banville writes novels of complex patterning, with grace, precision and timing' - "Guardian". 'With his fastidious wit and exquisite style, John Banville is the heir to Nabokov' - "Daily Telegraph". 'A tour de force: a fictional evocation of the great astronomer which is exciting, beautifully written and astonishingly redolent of the late medieval world' - "The Times".

Author information
John Banville was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945. He is the author of fourteen other novels including The Sea, which won the 2005 Man Booker Prize. He has received a literary award from the Lannan Foundation. He lives in Dublin.
Editorial reviews
Copernicus' brave insistence that the earth revolves around the sun and is not, as Ptolemy held, the centre of the universe signalled the end of the medieval world order. Banville's highly acclaimed novel brings the man behind the discovery to life. Nicholas Copernicus was born into a Polish family from Cracow, whose origins his father tried to conceal when he moved to Torun in Royal Prussia. Nicholas grew into an unworldly, reticent man, who was haunted by an evil brother and puzzled by the conspiracies that ranged around his ideas. Banville's tour de force dramatizes a crucial stage in the intellectual development of the humanist movement in Europe, putting our own times into a fresh perspective. (Kirkus UK)

What I find interesting is that so-called "Christians" can so ignore the clear teaching of Scripture on the practice of homosexuality and totally turn it around to the point of affirming the practicing homosexual in his or her sin! Amazing! Besides, since the Bible emphatically states that NO ONE seeks God and that all unbelievers are DEAD in their transgressions, how can ANYTHING done to confront their sinful rebellion "turn them off" to God? Rom. 1:3O says they're "haters of God" [ESV]! Sad!

We have been seeing Dr. Jacobs since 2004 when our first child was born. Since then she has cared for both of my children and guided us through illnesses and various issues. She is an incredible doctor and I'm really sad that she is no longer with Meritas. If she is still in town, we hope to find out where she is so we can continue seeing her.

We had been seeing Dr. Jacobs since the birth of our first daughter six years ago. She is an amazing, caring professional who became an integral part of our children's lives. I, too, am extremely upset about her leaving Meritas and hope to see her again.

I will never forget the first time I met Dr. Jacobs. She came to see my son after delivery making rounds at the hospital. I knew from the moment I met her, this was going to be my child's pediatrician.
She is a wonderful, caring person. Very knowledgeable, and takes the time to answer any questions you have. She has connected with both of my kids, and always took the time to speak to them.
I too, will continue to find out where she went. She's more than our children's doctor. She is like family. Our kids adore her, and loved going to see her.

I as well just found out she has left nkc pediatrics. I actually went back to them just to have my daughter seen by her. Will do my hardest to find her next location and hopefully begin seeing her there.
I am a young first time mother. My daughter is now 7 and Dr. Jacobs has helped me through almost everything. I highly recommend her to anyway in search of an amazing caring pediatrcian.

Can't say how very upset I am to find out today that Dr Jacobs is no longer at Meritas (Northland) Pediatrics. She will be truly missed by patients & parents. I hope to track her down soon!

I feel it is important to note that DR. Jacobs is an amazing doctor and she spends quality time with you (which is why I marked her low for punctuality because she's always late BUT spends as much time with you when she gets there) and addresses all of your concerns, never makes you feel stupid. However if you want to delay vaccines she is not very happy about it. I know many doctors do have some kind of delayed schedule or at least encourage parents who want to pursue using an alternative schedule. I felt more confused and unsupported by the decision to delay vaccines when Dr. Jacobs didn't offer any advice or support. I am pro vaccinations, just not so much and so often on little babies.

Two former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers will learn whether they face additional charges stemming from the collapse of their funds by Dec. 5, prosecutors said Friday.
Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin, who have pleaded not guilty conspiracy and securities fraud, with the former also pleading not guilty to insider trading charges, have been waiting since their June indictments to find out if federal prosecutors would add new counts against them. Cioffi, the former senior portfolio manager of the High Grade Structured Credit Fund and a levered sister fund, already faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted, with Tannin, the funds' former chief operating officer, facing as much as 20 years. The duo also face civil fraud charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"The government continues to consider a superseding indictment of additional charges," prosecutor Patrick Sinclair told a Brooklyn, N.Y., court conference. Judge Frederic Block told the lawyers, "We would like to see the superseding indictment in place the next time we are here," a hearing scheduled for Dec. 5.
Prosecutors allege that Cioffi and Tannin misled investors in the two funds about the health of the funds, which collapsed last summer, costing clients more than $1.5 billion. The men are also accused of lying about their own investments in the funds, and of "consistently misrepresenting" the funds' portfolios.
The defendants, the first to face major criminal charges stemming from the subprime mortgage crisis, say they have done nothing wrong, with their lawyers calling them "an easy target" and "a scapegoat."

Natco Pharma Ltd. (NTCPH), an Indian drugmaker backed by billionaire Dilip Shanghvi, expects sales to rise as much as 15 percent in the year ending March 2013 helped by a copy of Bayer AG (BAYN)'s cancer medicine Nexavar.
Natco, based in Hyderabad, expects sales of 5.1 billion rupees ($100 million) this financial year, compared with 4.4 billion rupees in the previous period, Chief Operating Officer Rajeev Nannapaneni said in an interview yesterday.
This month, Natco became the first company in India to get government approval to sell a cheaper copy of a drug that's still protected by patents. The so-called compulsory license permits Natco to make a version of Nexavar and sell it at a 97 percent discount to Bayer's price.
Under a World Trade Organization agreement known as Trade- Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, or TRIPS, member countries can use these compulsory licenses to lower the cost of medicines. Governments can grant compulsory licenses to allow a company to make copies or use a patented process without the consent of the patent owner.
Global drugmakers "can't charge European and U.S. prices in India," Nannapaneni said. "Multinationals have to relook their model and consider differential pricing."
Natco expects to earn 250 million rupees in the first year of sales from the copy of Nexavar, which is used for treating advanced stage kidney and liver cancer.
The Indian drugmaker can charge not more than 8,880 rupees for a monthly dose of 120 tablets. The company would have to pay 6 percent of its revenue to Bayer as royalty and supply the drug at no cost to at least 600 needy patients each year, India's Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks said in a statement on its website this month.
Shanghvi is chairman of Indian drugmaker Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (SUNP)

Nebraska City -- Quite the Arboretum

The above building is the oldest public building in Nebraska. How do I know this, you ask? Because the sign says so. And because I was there, in Nebraska City, in beautiful Otoe County, and I only missed Arbor Day by a week. Blast. You see, Nebraska City, a little hamlet on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, is the home of Arbor Day.
You heard me... Arbor Day. That most American of holidays, which celebrates the natural beauty and happiness of trees. I'm not sure which Nebraska Citian decided to make a holiday about planting trees, but it was a brilliant decision. What a holiday! I'm being serious, y'all. I've seen too much deforestation in my time (Check out my Atlanta page for details). It's refreshing to see a town that celebrates its trees. So three cheers for Nebraska City! I'm sorry I only spent ten minutes there. I had a tasty breakfast, though...

Continuing on from my last post, I felt like cleaning up some more data and using more SQL Server 2012 features. I happened on DATEFROMPARTS on MSDN and felt like playing with it.
A new feature in SQL 2012 that I am very excited about is TRY_CONVERT which makes data conversion much easier. When you pair TRY_CONVERT with some Case statements, you can easily pipe the inconvertible data to other columns, which can then be reviewed and (hopefully) fixed prior to cutting over your data. I've mocked up a quick demo so you can see how powerful this new feature is.
A while ago, I spotted TimelineJS, a JavaScript library to create gorgeous timelines, and earmarked it to a future app. Last week, I finally got to play with it by creating Yarnline, an itsy-bitsy mashup app that takes the projects of a Ravelry user and displays them in a chronological manner, like so…

HOPE Volleyball Summerfest (Helping Other People Everywhere, Ottawa-Carleton Inc.) celebrated 30 years of fun for a cause this year.

This past week I attended OSCon, the annual conference for open source's true believers. And there was a religious fervor in the air, particularly from the point of view of someone more accustomed to Oracle conferences. The companies generating buzz were the small companies built around development of their own open source products. There are a surprising number of them out there, especially relating to multiple forks of a popular product like MySQL or Hadoop.

Google search TASC INSIGHT and contact office for a free trial.... TRUE realtime read SIMS. As soon as register taken and saved in SIMS, data available for parents to see - as with behaviour, reporting, notices.... and following other comments on forum, you dont need Sharepoint just an IS - and an IP address. Hosted from school so no worries about external company and Data Protection Act 1996! Nice GUI too
ok be kind to a newbie!!!
if I buy LG then will it link dynamically with Uniservity? what I want is to be able to have 2 way traffic on basic pupil data which Uniservity (CRAP) can do now but will LG let me transfer data from the markbook straight into assessment manager? Me thinks not but I have to find a solution as our LA forced Uniservity onto us and this bit just don;t work and I belive it nver will as Capita won't give them the code... what a surprise.
any ideas out there to solve this?
I'm no expert on this, we are just looking at the LG route ourselves.
However, Uniservity is listed as a Capita - Technical Partner with at least read access to the data. So they should surely be working together to solve any issues.
LG definitely lets you access marksheets and enter data live into the SIMS system, so with everything in a sharepoint shell i would imagine you can do what you want.
Once the data is in AM then the Learning Gateway can expose it to all and secondly UniServity could choose to embed a clc web part into your learning gateway.
Out of interest what do your authority believe they bought and what code is needed ?
Started a new thread.

The decision was made above my head to go for the full blown SLG. I went for the full MOSS 2007 and am thrilled that we now have the full sharepoint for other uses too. I insisted on a hosted solution for the same reason we host our own website and moodle. The thing keeps going internally so your lessons and access to these systems is a lot more reliable.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I am struggling with the external connection via our county firewall. The SLG engineers created our sharepoint in the format http://ourserver:38040/SLG/default aspx for example. Since we need an SSL connection I have obtained a certificate from ipsCA (FREE) and installed it. I had to add an https connection to the SLG website and bound it to port 443 to allow it through the county firewall. Apparently once the end user logs in it drops back to an http connection which means data over the internet is vunerable.
Has anyone out then been through this or is it just me?
Last edited by Dantech; 13th July 2009 at 12:13 PM. Reason: Spelling typo
Just an idea, can you remove HTTP from IIS, just leaving HTTPS. Failing that, ask the LA to only reverse proxy HTTPS traffic. Other then that, no idea.
You can rip the sourcecode if you really wanted to, I agree, I doube Capita will release the source code any time soon. However they do provide a really nice business object to read\write to and from SIMS. Uniservity could, if they wanted to, do anything SLG2 can do.
matt40k - Please can you clarify what you mean by reverse proxy? I thought about removing the http only and this was suggested by Mouchel (who support Lincolnshire). Not sure if this will work or if I will totally kill the SLG. I have logged a support call with SIMS on this and will see what they say.
Basically your LA prob won't the HTTP port, they setup a reverse proxy, basically incoming traffic is sent via a proxy server rather then going direct, same as normal proxy, just in reverse.
If you're using SIMS Webparts the pictures will also want to come back via http not https which was very annoying a way round this as suggested is to use an ISA box to publish the sharepoint site however what I would do would be to leave the sharepoint site accepting everything on http and the ISA box making the transition from https (externally) to http (internally) everything in Sharepoint will look as if it's working on port 443 outside but after it's gone through the ISA box its all port 80.
Thank you for the explanation matt40K and wesleyw. That is most helpful. Sharepoint is huge and as usual nobody will pay for training, so I'm learning this as I go along! I do not want to have to install an ISA box but maybe I will have to.
Hi Everyone
Further to my recent posts you may be interested to know that SIMS will not help me in resolving port addressing issues without paying an additional sum! Which is rich when you consider that without this knowledge the whole of ALG becomes pointless!
Just a warning to others that if, like me, they have never addresses these things before then be prepared for this. If I were to do this again I would insist that the remote access information is sorted before you sign off the contract.
In SIMS favour (and the guy there is very helpful) they have posted me a link to the microsoft site which deals with the issue. Take a look at Plan alternate access mappings (Office SharePoint Server)
We strongly recommend that SLG is hosted either by an LA or us because we cannot provide the detailed level of support for SharePoint or routers that is needed if you are hosting it yourself. Hosting it yourself does give you significant advanatges in terms of what you can achieve so I can understand why some schools choose to do so. If we can't resolve a SharePoint issue we have to get assistance from MS and this incurs significant cost.
Now given that Sharepoint hosts our SIMS Learning Gateway, we have invested in quite a bit of expertise, but the product is immensely powerful, and highly configurable, making issues (particularly network issues) very time-consuming to resolve. We therefore would ask that where it is a Sharepoint-specific issue that it is first considered to log a call with the provider who is providing you the specific Sharepoint expertise.
If you have done this and drawn a blank, then please escalate with us, consider speaking either to your account manager. It is most important to us that you are both Live on our software and happy with our software.
We use SIMS.net in school and want both remote access for teachers to write into Assessment Manager and parental online reporting. We are looking at SLG but I would like to know what other (reasonably priced) options we have?

Dannon Foreman homicide: Police release sketches of potential suspects
CINCINNATI – The sketches of two men believed to be involved in an Oct. 16 homicide of a Cincinnati man were released Tuesday.

I don't often write about hardware, let alone non-internet related hardware, but since I've found a really good gadget that has already made a big difference to me, I thought I'd share it. I've been getting a lot of those annoying phonecalls - 'we're not selling anything', 'we just want you to take part in a survey' or 'did you know about the government scheme?', to say nothing of the 'We're Windows technical support' rubbish. The Telephone Preference Service is about as much use as a wet Wednesday on a weekend so I looked around to see if I could find something that was a bit more helpful, and there is. It's a phone produced by BT called the 8500 which blocks up to 100% of nuisance calls.
The way that it works is that you put in a list of your VIP numbers - those friends and colleagues who ring you on a regular basis, or who you are happy to get a phone call from. You can have up to 200 listed if you're really popular. They just come straight through, and your phone rings, just as normal. However, what you can then do is to also bar numbers - such as international calls, and these always get blocked. (With the exception of your VIP list I think). You don't even hear the phone ring; the caller just gets a message saying that they have been blocked. You could also do the same thing for witheld numbers, or from a particular region and so on. For everyone else, you set up a message to say 'Before you get put through, you need to be announced' and the caller has to say who they are. The phone then rings, and you get to hear the name. You can then let them through always or just once, or you can block their number or send them to voicemail.
I have to say that it's a really nice service, and I'm delighted with it so far. You can get 1-4 handsets and they all update from the main phone. I'm sure that there are other devices out there that do a similar job, but this is the solution that I found, and I love it.
(Disclaimer: as with all of my other posts, this is not an advert, nor have I been paid to blog about it, and I'm just a happy customer of the product.)
I spend quite a bit of time trying out new resources as you know - I blog the good stuff, ignore the rubbish but seldom remark on it. However, I'm making an exception for www.tagged.com which states on its opening screen "Millions of people are having fun and making new friends on Tagged every day. You can too!" Always interested in trying out a new social network, so I signed up for it. What I didn't expect was a bunch of emails from them that sounded exactly like a a dating site. For example: "Phil, open this email for 12 people you should meet :)" and "Phil, these people clicked YES on you in Meet Me! :)" Oddly enough, lots of them seem to be very attractive nubile young ladies, and to be honest - I have my doubts!
Waste of time and space. Don't touch it with a bargepole.
This is partly a rant, partly a discussion of appalling customer service. I've been with Demon Internet Services, an ISP since 1992, right from when it was an independant company through to it being owned by Vodaphone. They've always offered a good service, which is why I have stayed with them. Now, some of you may know that I had an operation recently which meant a lot of time sitting doing nothing, which leads to me spending a lot of time watching catchup TV and watching YouTube (as you do).
Next thing that I know is that I get a threatening email from Demon entitled 'Demon Broadband Fair Usage Policy - Warning Email' It explains that I am close to (not at, not exceeded, but close to) a capped limit of 60GB over a monthly rolling period. The threat is that if I exceed my 60GB then my service will be capped at 128kbps between the hours of 9am and 11pm which basically means that it would be close to unuseable. I have been getting these emails every day for the last three days - they're automatically generated, so it's not surprising. I did a bit of digging around and eventually wound up talking to a very nice chap by the name of Alan. It transpires that the contract that I'm on is an old one, and there's a newer, cheaper one available - well thanks for telling me! However, it's not close to the price or speed of something like BT Infinity, which is where I'm going to next.
I really didn't want to move - mainly because of inertia but also because I've had good experiences with Demon. However, any company that treats its customers in a threatening and harrassing manner really doesn't deserve my loyalty. I did try - my requests were simple - stop sending me harrassing emails, and put my usage back to zero, so we can carry on. Apparently that's not possible - I would need to go onto a new contract with a 12 or 24 month agreement, and that's just not going to happen at all. Alan was apologetic, but said that there was nothing that could be done, which is of course nonsense, because they're not going to have a system that they can't play around with and reset.
So well done Demon! In three days you've managed to turn a loyal customer into one who is going to be leaving you as soon as possible. The moral of the story is that (as we all know) companies don't care about customers, they're not interested in loyalty, and they seem to think they can threaten, bully and harrass people with no comeback. We're not back in the 90s - there are plenty of choices available to customers - it's just a shame that not all companies understand that.
We generally tend to think of Spotify as a resource that streams music - and of course that's its primary goal, but it's worth knowing that as well as music, Spotify provides other things - such as sounds of nature (great if you want to get off to sleep listening to the sounds of rain or jungles or wotnot), but there's also a lot of spoken text as well. If you're a fan of Robert Frost the great American poet, there's some great recordings of him reading his own work, and it sends a real thrill down the spine to be able to hear him. If poetry isn't your style, how about listening to Sherlock Holmes, read by Basil Rathbone or Sir John Gielgud? While we're on Mr Holmes, how about listening to Mr Cumberbatch reading late night tales?
Can I tempt you to Jane Austen novels, or The Scarlet Pimpernel? How about Anthony Valentine reading The Count of Monte Cristo? If you fancy something a bit chilling, there's a collection of Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R. James or the Best of Edgar Allen Poe?
Whatever your tastes, you're almost certain to find something that's interesting.
I was very pleased and honoured to be asked to keynote a session at the Library 2.014 Conference which is now in its fourth year. This free conference is a virtual and global event with a wide variety of expert speakers, covering a really wide range of subjects. You can catch up with the conference on Twitter with the hashtag #lib2014 and the schedule of events is at http://www.library20.com/page/library-2-0-schedule-gmt-1-1 but please note that if you're not in the UK the timings will be out.
I was talking to Steve Hargadon who is one of the organisers and he said that there wasn't usually very much participation from the UK, which I think is a real shame. Certainly in the session that I ran most of the delegates came from the US, central Europe or New Zealand. So if you have some time to spare, do check out the remaining sessions and drop in - it's running in Blackboard Collaborate which means you may need to download/install software if you don't have it already. Otherwise, just go for it. It doesn't matter if you missed a presentation, since you can always catch up later - they are being videoed and will be put up onto YouTube.
2,619,833 copyright free images are available from the Flickr account of the Internet Archive Book Images.There are another 10 million images (thereabouts) to go up into the collection as well. They range from 1500 to 1922 when copyright law kicks in. The images are varied - woodcuts, sheet music, advertising, diagrams, a few photographs and so on. It's a fascinating collection and worth taking a look at.
I'm still not sure about posting details of an adult search engine, but have decided that I will, mainly because I'm interested in search, rather than pornography, and I believe that if you want to see it or not you're all old enough to make up your own minds. Boodigo is a search engine that looks for material that most of us are not particularly interested in, but it says that it does it in an ethical way. This primarily means two things - firstly it doesn't store any information on your IP address, keeping your privacy and secondly it doesn't link to any sites that contain nasty malware or viruses.
So far vaguely ok. Next, I had to try a search and luckily 'phil bradley' is quite a good one in this instance, because I have a namesake who is a gay porn star. (Actually I don't think he is any longer, but he was, and there are enough images of him about to make it an appropriate search term.) The results were rubbish. No phrase searching, it was pulling up pages that had 'phil' in them by itself and 'bradley' in others, there were lots of pages about Phil Collins - not entirely sure how he'd be feeling about being picked up by an adult search engine.
So it might be ethical, but as a search engine, it's absolute rubbish.
I don't normally post non-work stuff into my blog, but it happens every now and then. If you want a quick laugh, this might fit the bill for you.
Life with a clumsy dog
As I settled down onto the bench in the vet's waiting room Rusty was sniffing around on the floor, head down, quite intent. So intent in fact that he banged his head on the edge of the bench. The dull thud echoed around the room, and the woman sat next to me said 'Ooops... is he a bit careless?' Before answering her I thought back over the last six months...
It should have been obvious to me at the start really – the first time I met Rusty he was in a large kennels, with his own space in a large enclosed well maintained barn. He padded straight up to me, and when I knelt down to say hallo, wagged his tail a lot. Then he lay down, flipped onto his back for a tummy tickle (either that, or he wanted to show me that he really was a stud dog both in name and physical prowess) and then sat up and tucked his head under my arm. That was basically it and I knew then that he'd got me, and I wasn't going to leave without him. The breeder said casually 'he likes his ball' and threw me a tennis ball. I took it and looked at Rusty, who was basically imploring me to throw it for him, so I made a half hearted attempt. The tennis ball skittered down the length of the barn and Rusty set off in hot pursuit. The ball hit the door and bounced back, but unfortunately the hound wasn't quite that quick, or perhaps he was too quick, because he came to a stop by simply hammering himself into the door. Within a second or so he was off again racing for the ball, which he got and brought back to me. I threw it again, and once again, he raced the length of the barn, thumped into the door and back he came. It should have been obvious to me at that point – the God of the Canines was looking down at me and basically shouting 'Look you moron – this dog has very little by the way of brain and even less of self preservation, escape while you still can!' However, the soft brown eyes rendered me incapable of listening to any sense, and the deed was done, the dog was mine.
Things went very well. For a couple of days. Well, until I let him off the lead that is, at which point he realised that he could run far and wide after a ball, without bashing into any walls, doors or other annoying encumbrances. I took him up to the meadows, which is a lovely open air space with lots of hills, grass, walks and all sorts of doggy goodness, and the threw the ball for him. He was off like a rocket, and this developed into a good game quite quickly. However, I then made the mistake of throwing the ball downhill, and it bounced badly. The hairy arsed muppet leapt for it, misjudged his leap and landed on one back leg. He yelped; a lot. I dashed over and we both stood and looked at his passenger side back leg, which was not quite at the angle it was when we went out. I looked at him, he looked at me, and he then picked up the tennis ball and stood there on three legs. He was clearly expecting me to throw it again and had the look of a footballer in pain in a cup final saying 'it's ok, I'll run off the pain gaffer'. I didn't think that this was wise, so we limped back to the car, while Rusty was reciting the bit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail 'Tis but a scratch. The leg is still connected, I've had worse' or words to that effect.
So we made our first proper visit to the Vets, or as I like to call it, 'home'. We met Gareth, who was soon to become our personal vet. You know how some people say 'I'll talk to my lawyer' or 'See my accountant'? Well, I do the same thing, only with me it's along the lines of 'I'll have a chat to my vet about it'. Only in my case, the vet's bills costs a damn sight more than either a lawyer or accountant. However, in we went, and the muppet did his 'I'm a good dog I am, and this was entirely an accident' routine, and Gareth just bought it hook line and sinker. After some deliberation he decided that he'd just strained a ligament. He's a good bloke is Gareth, but he does like to warn you about everything, so before saying 'Oh, it's nothing, he'll be alright in a few days' he started by saying 'Well, it could be an inflamed vetigulated ararythmic anterior cross muscular injury that could cost you thousands if I have to operate'. It might not have been those exact words you understand, though I distinctly remember the 'thousands' bit. It's not the kind of thing you're likely to forget really is it? Anyway, short walks on the lead for a few days, well sorted. Between those and the anti inflammatory pills we were fine.
I should also point out that I have a hatchback car, and Rusty sits in the back. He likes this because he can look forward and bark at me, like the doggy version of a backseat driver, but his advice is limited to 'look out, there's a lamppost! Look out, there's another lamppost! Mind that lamppost!' with the occasional whine when we drive past a particularly attractive Labrador which I think is the doggy equivalent of 'cor, look at the tail on that!' But I digress – he jumps happily into the back of the car and sits upright with his 'where are we going today?' look. I always say 'Sit down and mind your head', and he starts to sit down, while I shut the boot. Only he never actually makes it all the way down, because he sits up again, resulting in his head hitting the glass. However I try it, the same thing happens. I get him to sit, to lie, whatever – up he pops, down comes the boot lid and *thump*. I think he likes it, I swear to god.
Anyway, all went well. For a week or so – heck, it might even have been an entire month, but when I let him out of his crate one morning he was limping. Rather a lot, and this didn't sound or look good to me, and the 'thousands' conversation came back to haunt me with the enthusiasm of a contraceptive seller at a dogging convention. (I should point out that I don't know if they have dogging conventions, and if they do, I'm certainly not attending, even though I have a dog. He'd probably lie down in his back and say 'never mind those perverts, look at what a real stud dog has to offer'.) Back we went to see Gareth. 'Hallo Rusty' he said, with obvious pleasure at seeing my hopeless hound. It turned out that this time my canine klutz had damaged the digit on the same rear passenger leg. I should explain at this point that when Rusty runs after a ball and doesn't have a door to slam into in order to help him stop, he just spreads his back legs slightly apart and skids to a halt, chucking up more dust and muck into the air than an enthusiastic Icelandic volcano. Some of this mud got under the nail, it got infected and there we were, back on short leaded walks. That's leaded as in 'collar and' rather than 'dirty great weight around your neck dragging you down', although thinking about it....
So, antibiotics and anti inflammatories again. I think he was having so much anti medicine I could have taken him to a protest march – any protest march and he'd have been there at the front, barking along to 'What do we want? Tennis balls! When do we want them? Woof!' A week later, back to see Gareth to check out the digit, and all is well. Hurrah! Now, I know it's my fault, and I shouldn't have said it, and I regretted it as soon as the words were out of my mouth, but I said 'well, shan't be seeing you until next year for his next jabs now'.
Next year? Next year? Poor deluded fool – try 3 bloody days later if you please. Now, when Rusty isn't trying to injure himself, he's attempting to drown. Most dogs, when they go in the water keep their heads above it, but not mine, not Mr 'Look dad, this is my impression of a submarine'. Head straight under, bubbles coming up, the works. Not that he is drowning you understand, he just likes swimming under water. Finally he emerged, shook himself dry and then looked at me as if to say 'Right, where were we? Oh yes, submarines' and dived in again. Consequently, his ears became home to the Tom Daley school of waterborne bacteria. Gareth looked up as we came in and said brightly 'Hallo Rusty!'. Nice to see they were on first name terms I suppose. My dog did the whole simpering 'Ohhh Gareth, how lovely to see you again' while he settled himself nicely on the floor waiting for attention. Gareth looked at me and said 'back leg again is it?' and I had to confess it was something different. By this point I'm thinking that I should be employed by the British Veterinarians Association to check out their members knowledge of the canine species. A quick poke around and we're sorted. Drops this time, but no short walks, just a limit on submarine practice.
You'd think that would be enough really wouldn't you. I mean – that's not a bad number of visits to the vets in a short period of time. Believe me, we're not even started yet, because a couple of weeks later, open crate, out walks Mr Limpy and we visit the vet again. Into the examining room we go and I swear that Gareth has some sort of book going by now, because he cheerfully says 'ears, leg, or something different this time?' I just mumble words that should not be spoken and point at my dogs back leg again. It's the toe once more, only this time the nail has decided that being used as a brake is enough, and it's decided that it's going to vacate its position and go off in search of fame and fortune elsewhere. It probably has its own show at the Edinburgh Fringe 'My life as a dogs digit' or some such. By now I'm able to just tell Gareth what he should prescribe and for how long. I swear, it would be easier to have a top of the range Aston Martin – certainly a damn sight cheaper to maintain. Gareth also agrees with me and says 'I'll leave it up to you to decide if you need to bring him back again'. It's rather concerning that in a few short months I've gone from not owning a dog to apprentice nurse.
We had a great week. Really, we did. No damaged legs, no water, nothing. Just me, the dog and a tennis ball. So why was his eye looking sore and weepy? Can't mess around with eyes, so back we go. Gareth beams, I glower and my dog leaps into the examination room, lies down on his back, legs apart and looks up at his best friend as if to say 'what do you think of my kit then? Huh? Huh?' Did I mention he has no shame – he'll have a go at anything he can get a leg over and a few things he can't. Remind me to tell you about the time he and another dog called Barney went for it. It was a two dog gay orgy I tell you. I'd never seen two male dogs trying the '69' position before, but Barney and Rusty were right at it. Honestly, I didn't know where to look.
Anyway, back to his eye. Gareth pops in some drops and we look at it under ultra violet light. Now, this is going to sound grim, but it's not as bad as it sounds. He'd managed to puncture his eyeball, and had got an ulcer. Ok, it is as bad as it sounds. He'd obviously gone after his tennis ball, launched himself into a thicket without a second to think 'hmm, is this really a good idea?' and made good friends with a bramble bush. Gareth went through the usual routine of vet speak which once again included the words 'thousands' in there, but to be honest by this time I was getting immune to it. More drops again. The stuff Gareth put into Rusty's eyes also dripped out of them as you'd expect, but also out of his nose. Which was fine, except that it was bright lime green. It was at this point Rusty looked up at me and said 'Look dad, this is my impression of a zombie dog from Radioactive City!' That was fine, except as we left a little old lady was coming in with her small rat on a stick while me and Mr Zombie stopped to let her pass – I thought she was going to faint, and she would have, except that I manage to yank Rusty's lead before he could flip up on his back and wave his bits at her, using the line 'I've got more energy in my bits than a nuclear power station.'
Days passed. Weeks even. We went for walks, a dip in the sea, tennis ball chases, the works. A nice holiday was on the cards – down to Cornwall, for more long walks and beaches and sea. I was very careful, and only threw the ball short distances, kept him away from puddles, the works. Bee and I took him to see her mother, and he stayed out in the back garden playing with two children. All together now, what could possibly go wrong? Honestly – a Frisbee. A straight forward Frisbee – round and plastic. Short of trying to gulp it down, what harm could it do. Well, it was a bit old apparently, so when he chomped on it, it splintered a bit, and he managed to stand on a sharp bit. Then he padded into the house and we played 'Look dad, this is my impression of a slaughterhouse!'. Blood pouring everywhere. He wasn't bothered by this point, as I think the only thing in his mind was 'Whee, a trip to see Gareth, it's been *ages*'.
An inch long quite deep cut requires stitches; rather a lot of them. No anti- inflammatories this time, which was a real shame, since I thought I'd take them instead – they might help with my blood pressure. Rusty came out with a blue bandage, really nice. 'Don't get it wet' they said. I explained the situation – Cornwall, walks, sea, beaches... 'Don't let him go for walks' they said. So I tried again; Cornwall, walks, sea and beaches. The staff looked sympathetic and simply said 'Not great timing really is it?'Did I mention that they all have a dry sense of humour? My dog didn't help at all – he just sat there, thumping his tail, looking at Gareth before lying down again and showing him his bits once again with a look of 'my paw might be out of action, but there's nothing wrong with the rest of me!'
So, back home to house arrest. Only out in the back garden briefly for business, then back in again. Now, when you have an energetic dog, he's got to be kept busy. I usually do that with long walks, exercise and tennis balls. He does it by stealing entire loaves of bread, chewing up socks and removing nice blue bandages. Back to the vet for a new one. This time we see a nurse, but this doesn't stop my canine Cassanova, not a bit of it. The nurse says to me 'Can we get him on his side?' and no sooner are the words out of her mouth than he's flat on his back, legs akimbo, looking at the nurse with a look on his face of 'So, what do you think of the puppy making kit then, huh? Huh?' New bandage, sorted, while the nurse and I make sure we don't make eye contact. Two days later, up he wanders, no bandage. So I put a sock on his leg, wrap it around with micropore, then cover the sock in clingfilm, then cover all of that with duct tape, and remarkably it works. For oh... well, until he gets bored with it really, but by then, back we go to the vets for a checkup on how the stitches are healing. Many more and he's going to start his 'look dad, this is my imitation of Frankenstein's dog' act.
I sit down, Rusty sniffs around and *thud* his head cracks into the bench, and I shake my head ending my reminiscences , listening as the woman sitting next to me says 'Yes, lovely lad, but is he a bit careless?' I simply smiled at her, stroked his head and said 'Why, whatever gave you that idea?'
They say of themselves: Welcome to Fantastic Fiction Bibliographies for over 30,000 authors and book information on over 350,000 books. Throughout the site, just click on a book to see its cover picture, description and publication details.
This is a really nice resource - it gives full summaries of each book, and you can see the titles in the correct order. There are links through to similar authors, similar stories, links to second hand online bookshops where you can buy copies of particular books and so on. Of interest to librarians - there are links to librarian jobs, although when I clicked through I was coming up with library jobs in Wales, so I'm doubtful of the value of that particular part of the site.

I, too, had a doughy disaster today. I was trying to make a simple French/Italian bread using both a poolish (a wet, yeasted, overnight pre-ferment) and an autolyse (a flour and water quick pre-ferment). The poolish was too wet, the autolyse too dry, and when I tried to mix them together I could not get the chunks of autolyse dough to combine with poolish. It ended up having the consistency of chicken and dumplings. I ended up throwing the batch out and starting over.
The next batch turned out better.
16 oz. bread flour
11 oz. water
1 heaping teaspoon instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt
I combined the flour and water in a bowl and mixed just until the flour was full hydrated. I covered the bowl and let it hydrate for 20 minutes. Then I mixed in the yeast and salt, mixed for about 3 minutes, and placed the dough in covered bowl. I gave it 45 minutes, then folded, another 45 then a fold, and a final 45 before shaping into rounds, placing in my floured baskets, which I covered, and let them rise for a final 75 minutes.
I baked them at 475 with initial steam. They were in for about 25 or 30 minutes. They turned out quite nice:
We had a pot of vegetable soup and a bottle of Chianti with them. You couldn't ask for a better meal on a wet, wintery day.
Today I baked the baguettes with Pâte Fermenté and the Roasted Potato Bread from Hamelman's Bread book.
The potato loaves are the round ones with the fendu style crease.
I love how Hamelman gives advice on how one should shape hundreds of fendu style loaves, but very little advice for the home baker. Typical of him: great recipes, but he rarely bothers helping out the novices.
I'll try to post more photos and a recipe soon.
We had the buttermilk rolls on the Thanksgiving table. They were wonderful.
I'm trying to finish our can of coffee as quickly as I can so that I can use it to try baking a Panettone. In the meantime, I'll probably bake another batch or two of stollen and some of my family's Christmas cookies.
We going to visit family in Texas in a couple of weeks. Supposedly Texas is where fruit cake originated. I may have to pick up a couple of authentic Texas fruit cakes while I am there. If anyone knows of a particularly good place to get fruit cake from, please let me know.
Banana Bread, Struan Bread, and Rustic Bread.
The banana bread was plain and simple, not even with nuts or chocolate chips. With the holiday's coming on, it didn't seem necessary.
For the Struan Bread, I used a sample packet of Bob's Red Mill's Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal as my soaker instead of mixing together my own grains. It worked well, tasting slightly different than normal Struan Bread but quite good all the same.
For the Rustic Bread I used the same dishwasher proofing technique I used last weekend. I was so wiped out after a long week that I crashed at 9 o'clock last night before I had a chance to start a sponge. Alas.
I haven't tried the rustic loaves yet, but I shall for breakfast. I kept the dough slack again and proofed them in a flour covered basket. Hence the rings. I expect them to be quite good.
I baked pitas for lunch today. They were great. I did 1/2 cup of the flour whole wheat, which is 1/6th of the total flour in the recipe. That is just about right for my taste.
Making them fit very nicely into my morning schedule: had breakfast, prepared the dough, ran errands while it rose, came home 11:15ish and shaped and baked them. Simple, cheap, and totally rewarding.
I forgot to mention that when I made the Couronne this weekend I found myself without a poolish, something I rarely forget to do.
I decided to start one at 8 AM. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast, which is a bit more yeast than I'd do in an overnight pre-ferment. I then placed the covered bowl in the just-run dishwasher which, being warm, moist, and clean, is about as close to a professional proofbox as one can find in one's household.
I left the pre-ferment in the dishwasher for 4 hours or so, then I used it as the base for my final dough, which had a tablespoon of salt, 3 more cups of bread flour, another teaspoon or two of instant yeast, and a cup or so more water. I totally winged it, adding more flour and water until it felt right. The dough was quite slack, but I didn't want to end up with a whole grain brick, so I decided to push my luck.
I gave it 3 folds a la the Hamelman method, then a final shape and rise. It was probably the tastiest wheat bread I've baked. I definitely will be trying the dishwasher method again.
I tried baking a Couronne this weekend:
The bad news: the dough was too slack for me to shape very well, so it didn't turn out terribly pretty.
The good news: the slack dough made wonderful bread. Even with a quarter of the flour whole wheat, it was light and airy. We gobbled it up.
The recipe was roughly the rustic bread I've baked many times. I think I went a little heavier on the whole wheat than usual, but I wasn't paying close attention.

Be careful in the kitchen, everyone.
Happy Halloween!
I made Melon bread for the first time today using the recipe posted by minako. We loved them.
I followed her directions with only I few adjustments. One adjustment I made was to put no egg in the bread dough and 1 whole egg in the cookie dough. I also didn't happen to have any pastry flour in the house, which I assume is what she meant by "soft flour", so I used all-purpose unbleached flour in both doughs.
Here are the doughs when they were ready to shape. The cookie doughs had been chilled and the bread doughs had already risen once.
After rolling out one of the cookie dough circles, I placed a ball of bread dough inside and wrap it up.
Then I flipped them over, score them gently with the back of a butter knife, and sprinkled on a little sugar.
Ready to bake!
Here they are done. It looks like I should have scored them a bit more, because the melon-y pattern completely disappeared.
Up close.
No matter, the kids loved them!
Yum yum.
Thank you again for the recipe, minako!

Great for no-makeup look (sample only)
Colour: light pinky champagne
Finish: soft shimmer
Pigmentation: medium
Texture: buttery
It's a few shades lighter than my skin tone so it helps brighten up my eye area. With a light brown in the crease and some brown liner, I can have a natural, no-makeup look in a breeze. I prefer my Smashbox Limitless blah blah Cream Shadow in Topaz, though
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love the color of this, but I'm wondering if I got a bad pot or something...This creases like crazy on me and only lasts about a 1/2 day at best. I'm so dissappointed! I've been wanting this for a while, so I was really excited when I got it, but after several tries, I just can't get this to not crease. I don't have this problem with any of my other paint pots. Bummer. I won't be re-purchasing.
I love this paint pot. Its my favorite base and it really works well to hold my eyeshadow on all day while giving it a nice shimmer. I would certainly buy this over and over again
I love this color!!! I use it as a eyeshadow base to make my color last all day, and as just an eyeshadow. It's such a pretty color, don't pass up on it!! You'll love it!
I really enjoy this product! I'm not a big eyeshadow person, but I wear this basically every day. This doesn't crease on me, even when I go and umpire a baseball game, and that would be the prime time to crease when it is already hot + underneath that mask that umpires wear and it doesn't move at all. It is shimmery, but not too shimmery, as long as you don't put too much on. This pot will also last you forever; I got it in October and it is not May and I'm just starting to really notice a dent. It hasn't dried up yet, but fingers crossed it won't!
I dont like it, its too shimmery, actually there are just shimmer. Waste of money.
I use this product everyday since I bought it. I'm in NW20 and I find this is the perfect everyday colour for me. When I don't have time to do my make-up I use it all over the lid and this makes my eyes look healthier and more awake. I also use it as an eyeshadow base which is great too because it doesn't crease and it lasts all day! It is perfect if you like neutral and soft colours.
Bare Study is nice under other shadows, and also by itself. I haven't noticed any creasing with this but I always wear either UDPP or TFSI underneath. I have had this for around a year and no sign of drying out yet. I would repurchase this one.
I really love this stuff, this shade is the perfect neutral primer/cream shadow. Works really well on its own or with other shadows. The MAC SA put it on me under a blush (used as eyeshadow) and it looked really wonderful and stayed on well. I really wanted to get it that day and the price is not bad, I but I was buying two blushes.. Luckily though I was able to swap for it soon after, I think I will be wearing this almost every day. I have tried the maybelline tattoos and several other cream shadows, but the consistency of most is too thick and hard to blend. I love this paint pot because it is so creamy and easy to apply. Great find !
Ah I love this. I love my neutrals and shimmer so this is perfect! It is a beigey champagne color in the pot and on my NC20-25 asian skin tone it transfers almost the same on my eyelids. Consistency is excellent and creamy; 10x better than the maybelline color tattoos. This is easy to blend and gives a SHEER wash of color. This is great as a base for other shadows or can be worn alone for a slight shimmery color on the lids. Usually for school I will wear this (over primer) with some liner on the upper lashline and mascara and call it a day. The only problem this has is that I cannot use this as a primer because it does crease within 3 hours of application. I do not have oily lids and usually UDPP alone works well for me. So I have taken to layering this over a primer to really make it last. That being its only con, this lasts for a very long tim! It has been over a year already and I still half half of the product left and it hasn't dried out yet. Perfect during the winter or summer. I will definitely repurchase after I run out!

Dolphin Escapes Pen to Reunite with Her Pod After Years in Captivity
We always knew that dolphins were incredible, but this story made our jaws drop – a dolphin, captured and held in captivity for several years, escaped from her pen and reunited with her pod. The dolphin, named Sampal, was accidentally caught by fishermen off Jeju Island, near South Korea, as reported by the environmental blog Take Part, which has been charting this epic tale. Instead of being released, however, Sampal was then illegally sold by fishermen to the Pacific Land Aquarium, where she was forced for years to perform tricks for food.
