Hi: 12° Lo:7°
Monday 07 January 2013 Updated: 08/01 13:29
THE FAMILY of murder victim Adrian Locke have paid tribute to their "lovable rogue" and pleaded for the public's help in finding his killer.
Paramedics found Mr Locke, 39, with stab wounds outside a property on Teme Road in Tolladine on Wednesday (January 2) evening.
Despite their best efforts to save his life he was confirmed dead at the scene by a doctor a short time later.
A post mortem examination found the cause of death was a stab wound to the torso.
In a statement his family, from Droitwich, said that while he was no saint, his death had devastated them, and in particular his mother Lilly Locke.
She said: "Adie has sometimes been on the wrong side of the law, but he was a lovable rogue.
"His family was his life and he was a brilliant uncle to his nieces and nephews, who idolised him. He was always generous and couldn't do enough for them. He was a big kid himself and a real joker who was always teasing the kids with all sorts of tricks. He also had a teenage son, who he did not see much of as he grew up, but they had been getting to know each other recently; it's so sad that chance has now gone."
She said her son had enjoyed the simple things in life that cost nothing and he had simple tastes.
"He didn't need expensive stuff and loved his mountain bike because it gave him freedom and the opportunity to get out and work. He did building and gardening work and was a hard worker. He liked his work."
Mrs Locke led the family's appeal for those with information about his death to contact West Mercia Police.
"For the sake of our family, please help the police if you know anything. We need to know who killed Adrian and why," she said.
"We hope in time we can piece together exactly what happened to him that night, and hope in time that we get justice for him."
"We will never get over what as happened - it has left a hole in our hearts that will never heal. His death has left us all heartbroken and we don't know how we will cope without him - he meant the world to me."
"I just want him to come home to his mum, but I know that will never happen."

Sure, we could make jokes about how being in a marching band is lame and one's only choice should they be horrible at sports, but we aren't that kind of judgmental blog. Instead, we're the type of blog to pay homage and respect those who manage to convince their superiors that a videogame-inspired medley of tunes should be the focus of the half-time show. That's what this wonderful MSU marching band did, playing tunes from awesome Nintendo games such as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
They also played something from a Microsoft game, we believe. Something having to do with angels?

Firstly, I am not a disgruntled employee, nor am I an ignorant uneducated fool who was duped by these two so called honest business men. I am a patient, well educated entrepreneur who is tired of running after money owed to me by these shysters. These two pray on hard working small business men and women, promising energy saving products that have been tested in uncontrolled and unsubstantiated environments by their own paid consultants....well maybe they were paid!
It matters not whether you have a hand shake or a contract, if it does not suit them they will not pay you nor communicate with you unless you have something they want!
The article below is completely false and the last line completely fabricated, Sysco has no idea who these people are, nor did they ever execute a contract, further the eCube savings claims are not justifiable, they use circumstantial evidence in open environments, which is completely non conclusive.
eCube: Saving the World, One Refrigeration Unit at a Time
An Interview with Raj Patel, CEO and Cardie Sanders of eCube Solutions
NRG Solutions
May, 2010
Recent studies estimate refrigeration accounts for up to 20% of global CO2 emissions. eCube, an energy saving device is a product designed to specifically tackle this problem. Recently, Foodservice Daily news had a chance to sit down with Raj Patel, CEO of NRG Solutions, the master distributor of eCube and Cardie Saunders of eCube Solutions.
Foodservice Daily News: Tell us about your product.
Raj Patel: eCube is a retrofit device for commercial refrigeration capable of accurately mimicking food and beverage thermal properties and thereby significantly reducing the frequency of refrigeration cycles. eCube makes commercial refrigeration more efficient, which results in cost savings, improves product life span, helps mitigate food liability risk and reduces carbon emissions. eCube is a little black box that fits right on top of your coolers air probe and can be self installed in as little as five minutes. Customers experience cost savings from day one.
FSDN: What separates your company from the competition?
RP: Though there are other energy saving devices, there are no other similar products to eCube in the marketplace today. Other energy devices that save energy do not dimish eCube savings. They work together.
FSDN: Who is your target audience/demographic?
RP: Any business that uses commercial refrigeration units will benefit from the use of eCube. For example restaurants, convenience stores, hotels, florists, schools, food distributors, cruise ships, stadiums and arenas, beverage distributors, etc.
FSDN: How long have you been in operation?
RP: eCube has been around since 2008.
FSDN: Why would I buy your product? / How will my business benefit from using your product?
RP: First and foremost the eCube reduces a business refrigeration energy consumption by up to 30% resulting in a substantial cost savings. It also reduces compressor start/stop cycles by up to 80% resulting in a considerable increase in the lifespan of commercial refrigeration units. For example, if your walk-in cooler shuts on and off 50% less, the life span of that equipment has just doubled. This means lower maintenance and repair expense as well. Another important benefit of the eCube product, for restaurant owners in particular is that eCube is a better way of assuring food temperature accuracy and consistency. In fact eCube was originally developed to mitigate food spoilage and many food and health inspectors recommend the use of the eCube product. The eCube product installs in less than five minutes, has a five year warranty and a sixty day money back guarantee. A business owner can expect a return on their investment between six to eighteen months. At an MSRP of $499.99 per unit, it is a minor investment with a major return!!!! But the most important reason to purchase an eCube is the ability of your business to reduce its carbon footprint and help the environment!!!
FSDN: What makes your product the best?
RP: Simple to use, no mechanical or electrical parts to break and pays for itself in 6-18 months.
FSDN: How are you positioned in the market? What is your marketing strategy?
RP: As I mentioned earlier, there are no competitors to eCube. eCube is marketed through a network of dealers and distributors throughout the US and Canada. I would also like to add that we have recently signed a co-marketing agreement with Sysco Corporation, the worlds largest foodservice company. Sysco will now market eCube to its 400,000+ customers in the US and Canada.

Snowballs/Snowcones/Shaved Ice
I'm a baltimore transplant and really need a good sky blue snow ball with marshmallow on top... or any other flavor will do really. in baltimore there are stands on every corner! are there any around here at all?! I'm in the northern virginia (arlington) area, near east falls church metro, but am willing to travel a bit! i really miss them!
On Columbia Pike there are numerous stands. Especially with tropical flavors. Very large servings, not cheap. Usually with a choice of up to three flavors plus a thick tamarind sauce on top. In the parking lot of the Food Star at Columbia and George Mason is a very good one.
I'm in AA County. Wonderful memories of Egg Custard snowballs. Sorry, can't help you out in VA. I could never really get into the chocolate sauce on top.
Sarah's Snowballs in Manassas, VA
all the traditional flavors, in a traditional snow ball stand + baltimore style ice and toppings!
Nothing much new to add to my response upthread of SIX years ago, but I had one recently in the parking lot of the Food Star, and it was great.
Travel Columbia Pike on a hot day, they're everywhere! Also (I seem to remember) Falls Church next to the Burke & Herbert Bank on Rte 7
Anyone ever tried one at Bayou Bakery? I seem to recall them being on the menu in the summer time. That's near Courthouse metro.
Sarah's SNowballs used to be set up in Manassas, VA 2013 - great baltimore style shaved ice (not hawaiin though i'm not sure of the difference?). I have not seen them this year but I believe they do events according to their site facebook.com/sarahssnowballs

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the measurement and control of electrostatic electricity in the atmosphere of, for instance, an industrial location such as a production room.
It is known that in various industries the presence of an electrostatic atmospheric field in production rooms causes deleterious effects. For instance, it is believed that such a field upsets spinning and weaving operations by causing the filaments to stand out from the yarn or fabric.
It would therefor be advantageous to control the electric field within industrial locations but, of course, before it can be controlled, the phenomenon must first be measured.
At present, static electricity occurring within an industrial atmosphere is sensed by one of four types of apparatus. One type, the field mill electrometer, is comprised of a rotating metal vane which generates an alternating signal due to the electrostatic field within the atmosphere. To obtain an indication of the electrostatic field using this device it is necessary to synchronously amplify and detect the output of the vane which requires relatively expensive equipment. The second type of sensor is simpler in construction. It requires merely a metal plate or probe exposed to the atmosphere which is an electrical connection, usually through an amplifier, with a voltmeter. Ideally, the probe assumes the potential of the surrounding atmosphere which passes this information through the electrical connection and causes variations in the voltage recorded at the output of voltmeter. In this instrument, however, an electrical charge is induced upon the metallic probe which causes the probe to stop indicating the true variations of the surrounding electrostatic field.
In thethird type of apparatus a metallic probe is enveloped by an ion cloud produced by a radioactive source. This ion cloud is then placed into contact with the surface whose potential is to be measured and this potential is read upon a voltmeter.
This type of apparatus, however, suffers from the dis- I advantage that it is not an electric field measurer but merely a potential measurer. In other words, to measure the effect of atmospheric electrostatic charge in a room the third type of apparatus would require a very large number of measurements to be taken at various locations in the room. Therefore, the use of such a sensing means in an automatic atmospheric electricity control system is virtually impossible.
The fourth type of detector can be described as a space charge measuring instrument. This device counts the ions in a measured volume of air to determine the amount of free charge floating in the atmosphere.
Since this type of detector does not measure the static charge on, for instance, stationary machine parts it does not fully measure the electric field within the industrial environment and thus any control system utilizing such a sensor is not capable of totally neutralizing the charge within the atmosphere. The additional problem with this device is that it is inherently an intermittant operator, i.e., it cannot continuously monitor even the-space charge. Thus to use such a device in an automatic', neutralizing system requires additional elements.
The-following list includes the most pertinent references .known to the applicant which show some of the prior art described above:
Ecker et al. 2,927,269 Issued March l, 1960 Michner et al. 3,292,042 Issued December 13, I966 Blackwell et al. 3,449,668 Issued June l0, I969 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the object of this invention to accurately and reliably sense and thereby control the electrostatic field within an industrial environment. This invention comprises a metallic probe having a radioactive element associated therewith. The emissions from the radioactive element cause an ion cloud to surround the metallic probe and thus to electrically connect the probe to the atmosphere. This, in turn, permits a charge electrostatically induced upon the probe to be dissipated to the atmosphere through currents in the ionized cloud thus keeping the probe sensitive to the variations in the electrostatic field, i.e., the applicants detector is capable of continuous monitoring. The output from the metallic probe is fed through an amplifier to an indicator.
The applicants detector, unlike certain prior art devices, does not directly connect to a surface to measure the potential of that surface but rather is withdrawn from any surface by a distance at least equal to that of its ion cloud. In this position the applicants invention measures the total electric field within a given room created by both space charge and static charge; thus only a single sensor is required for the room. F urthermore, since the applicants device is not in contact with a high potential surface, no large resistance is required between the probe and the amplifier and thus the applicants device is capable of more sensitive detection than the prior art devices.
Finally, since applicants detector is capable of continuous, sensitive monitoring of the entire electric field within a room itprovides the foundation for a highly efficient system for controlling that electric field. In the preferred embodiment of applicants invention, the output of the electric field detector controls a pump which feeds an ion control fluid to the air washer of the air conditioning system of the room being monitored to introduce a sufficient quantity of ions into the rooms atmosphere of a charge opposite to the measured charge to neutralize the rooms atmospheric charge.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the electric field detector according to this invention;
FIG. 2 shows the preferred embodiment of an electric field control system according to this invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In FIG. 1 reference numeral 1 indicates an electric field sensor probe which, for example, may have the configuration of an open cage. Numeral 2 indicates a housing disposed within the probe and containing a radioactive element 3. Numeral 4 indicates the ion cloud which is created around the metallic probe due to the emission of particles from the radioactive element.
A suitable radioactive element contains 50 microcuries of Polonium 210 which emits 5.3 Mev alpha particles with a range, in air, of approximately 1.5 inches.
Since each alpha particle generates-about l60,000 ion pairs, the resulting ions form a dense ion cloud around the element roughly 3, inches in diameter. Other possibilities for the radioactive materials include Americium 241 and Lead 210.
The ions readily permit a current to flow under the influence of the electric field to freely floating charged objects such as charged dust particles or tiny charged particles from textiles as well as from static objects such as machinery which may be presentin the room in which the probe is located; the strength of this current will, of course, vary in proportion with the strength of the surrounding field but the probe is capable of detecting very small currents, on the order of 3 X 10-10 amperes. The ion currents in this ionized cloud permit charges electrostatically induced on the element to be" discharged thereby preventing the polarization of charge that hinders many other detectors.
Reference numeral 5 indicates an insulator sheet which is positioned between the probe and the remaining circuitry of the atmospheric electricity detector. It is essential that this insulator, as shown in FIG. 1, extend beyond the boundaries of the ion cloud in order to prevent a shorting between the probe and the remainder of electrical circuitry within the atmospheric electricity detector. In addition, the ion cloud must be kept far enough away from machinery or other metallic objects to prevent contact with the probe since, due to the low input resistance, the sensor is subject to dam-- age by high voltages. While the insulator may be made of any material having the proper electrical and mechanical properties, a commercially available polystyrene plate has been found suitable.
Reference numeral 6 indicates a standard electrometer or operational amplifier which can be electrically connected without an additional resistance to the probe and which amplifies current from the probe and passes theamplified current to the voltmeter 7. The voltmeter, in turn, operates as an indicator of the electric field sensed by probe 1. Capacitor 9 and resistor. 10 are the usual feedback elements for an operational amplifier as will be apparent to those skilled in the. art. The amplifier and its protective circuitry are housed in housing 11 which may be of a metallic material in which the insulator sheet 5 forms one wall. Alternatively, the insulator sheet 5 can be less extensive than one wall so long as it completely surrounds the ion cloud.
FIG. 2 shows the preferred embodiment of an electric field control system using the electric field detector described above. This system is designed to control the electric field in a room. having an air conditioner unit which uses an air spray to control the temperature and humidity. Such air conditioner units are, in themselves, well known and are often used in spinning rooms in the textile industry. In FIG. 2, such an air spray is designated by the numeral 8 and while the rest of the air conditioning unit is not shown it is understood that such a 'unit circulates all the air in the spinning room past the air spray within a relatively short time interval.
In this environment the detector is located anywhere within the room, but preferably above the reach of the employees and not too close to a strong electric field such as is produced by electric motors. After passing through the detector and voltmeter 7. The current then passes through a cable to the recorder 9, a conventional graph recorder which gives a zero reading in the absence of the electric field.
The recorder then passes the signal to a controller 10 which may be comprised of a pair of electromagnetic relays energized by the output of the detector to connect a source of electricity 11 to one of the pumps 12a and 12b. Because of the rectifiers 13a and 13b the pump 12a is energized when the detector detects a negative electrical field while the pump 12b is energized when the detector detects a positive electrical field.
Thepump 12a and the conduit 13a connect the tank 14a to the storage tank 15 of the air washer 8 to deliver fluid from the tank 14a to the tank 15. Similarly, the pump 12b and the conduit 13b connect the tank 14b to the air spray storage tank 15 to deliver fluid from the tank 14b to the tank 15. From the tank 15, the fluid is drawn into the spray nozzle system 16 of the air washer 8 and thereby introduced into the'roomsair.
Tank 14a contains afluid which produces a positive ion when aerated, for example, a Quaternary Amine, while tank 14b containsa fluid which produces negative ions when aerated, for example, a common laundry soap. It must be noted that while the ion producing properties of the above fluids have been known to the prior art and these'fluids have, in fact, been used to neutralize atmospheres it has not been possible to use these fluids in a system for automatically controlling static electricity in a closed; room since the appropriate amount of chemical to neutralize the charge could not be determined by the prior art. I
By effectively monitoring the electric field the applicants detector allows the introduction of the proper amount of the ion producing fluids to neutralize the atmosphere without over compensation. Thus, when a negative field in the rooms atmosphere is detected by the probe 1, the controller 10 energizes the pump 12a to introduce avery small and controlled amount of Quaternary Amine into the air spray storage tank 15. Likewise, when a positive field in the rooms atmosphere is detected by the probe the controllerenergizes the pump 12b to introduce a very small and controlled amountof laundrysoap in the air spray storage tank 15.
The applicants tests have shown that his control system is not only effective but rapid, i.e.,- that 'a complete neutralization of the atmosphere usually occurs usually within twenty minutes after an electric field is detected.
While the above paragraphs provide a full description of the preferred embodiment many modifications are possible within the scope of applicants invention. For instance, since the electric field in a spinning room is usually negative, the control system may be operated without the pump 12b, conduit 12b and tank 14b. Also, many alternative control systems may be coupled with the detector.
For example, a grid can be placed in the air conditioning duct to emit ions to neutralize the electric field within a room upon response to a control system.
In addition, the detector may be used in a system to neutralize the electric field within a local area. In these cases local neutralizing means can be a corona discharge needle or a radioactive ion producing source.
Another local neutralizing means is a ring connected to the detector output and having a voltage imposed thereon which is proportional to and has the same sign as the output from the detector. A grounded spray nozzle is then placed to the ring so that a charge is imposed upon the droplets sprayed through the ring having an opposite sign to the ring charge whence the droplets neutralize the'local area.
What is claimed is:
1. A system for controlling an electric field comprisan ungrounded metallic electrode exposed to the atmosphere,
a radioactive source associated with said metallic electrode for creating outside said electrode an ion cloud unconstrained in the atmosphere surrounding said metallic electrode to place said electrode in contact with said atmosphere,

Full detailed profile on Michael Corinthos III Played by Chad Duell on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Chad Duell (ABC)
Real Name: Chad Duell
Back at the hospital Michael and Kiki check on Alice and look for a sub-par replacement dessert. Michael thinks today is not his lucky day.
Michael and Kiki wander the hospital discussing wrestling. She announces they are having dinner with her mom. He's not thrilled and reminds her that AJ was shot in her penthouse. He thinks visiting may give him some closure and mentions how much he wishes his father's killer was rotting in the ground.
Ava returns to the penthouse with groceries. Her brother teases her for taking the risk. She's making dinner for Kiki and Michael. He guesses she is going ahead with the boss' plans. Ava assures him she'll be subtle and pulls out a vial of poison. He'll die in his sleep hours later. Only moments later, Michael and Kiki arrive with some sparkling cider. As Ava sadly heads for the kitchen, Michael paces around and feels uncomfortable. He insists on staying. Ava returns in her apron to say she is ordering in but made the dessert herself. Julian takes off, quietly cracking a joke to his sister about 'death by chocolate' on the way. The three sit down to an awkward dinner. Michael assures Ava he will be part of the baby's life, regardless of who the father is. He barely eats, even though the meal consists of his favorites. "It's like you cooked him his last meal," Kiki says. She points out that AJ was shot there. Ava tries to be sympathetic. Once they are all stuffed, Ava brings out chocolate mousse for dessert.
At the hospital, Rosalie tries to calm Nina down but she's outraged that Ava is pregnant again, and to top it off, Ava doesn't know if the dad is a mobster or his son. Rosalie realizes she knows one of the possible pops. Nina doubts they would give her the time of day but Rosalie tells her she met Morgan in the park and he was really broken up about it. Nina is upset that Silas still hasn't had sex with her. What is she without a baby? Just a dry, old, barren woman! Rosalie reminds her that she will get everything she wants and deserves. "Assuming you can get pregnant," Rosalie comments. Nina rages that nothing is wrong with her. She'll have whatever she wants, no matter what. Silas is her first choice, but she's not opposed to finding someone else. She doesn't even have to cheat - there are other ways to make a baby. Meanwhile, Franco intercepts Michael, Morgan, and Kiki as they remove flowers from Alice's room and asks to give them to Carly. Michael wonders what he did to his mother and Franco tells them it's Sonny who should be apologizing for putting his hands all over Carly. Morgan and Michael tell him how many times Carly and Sonny have been together. Franco says some disparaging things about Ava and Kiki wants to know what he means. Franco just takes the flowers to go see Carly. Later, Kiki get a call from Ava with a dinner invite for her and Michael.
Ned and Michael walk the hospital halls. Ned wants to know what's been going down with Tracy. They worry about her reliance on Luke and talk strategy. Later, Kiki finds Michael standing around. She tells him about her positive visit with her mom. He fills her in on the crisis with Tracy.
At the hospital, Alice wakes up from surgery. Morgan, Ned and Michael disperse to call loved ones and get magazines for Alice, and alone Tracy tells Alice to keep quiet. Alice reminds Tracy she had nothing to do with getting her heart. Michael overhears Tracy ask Alice if she was going to rat her out. Alice thinks Tracy has turned her back on her family and tells Michael that Tracy and Luke are plotting to take back ELQ. Michael fires Tracy. She threatens a wrongful termination lawsuit and he encourages her to go right ahead. Meanwhile, Olivia runs into Ned in the hallway and she's happy to hear about Alice. She thanks him again for helping her out with Sonny by kissing her, but he's officially off the hook. Ned is interested in continuing their friendship. He really enjoys spending time with her and asks her to a movie. She happily agrees. At the nurse's station, Rosalie is frantic looking for Nina and Silas tells her she's been stuck in the elevator. She gives him grief and he reminds her he pays for service, not attitude. If she makes one more comment he's going to fire her, no matter what Nina says. Rosalie runs into Morgan and tells him how mean her boss is but comments she'll be the one with the last laugh in the end. She brushes off further questions and asks Morgan how things are with his dad and ex. Morgan is sure there's nothing romantic between them, and then asks how things are with her dad. Rosalie doesn't want to talk about it and asks him out for a drink instead. He needs to take a rain check. Outside the elevator Franco tells Nina he's going to talk to Carly. She wants to be sure he'll stay quiet about her chair and Silas overhears Franco tell Nina her secret is safe with him. Franco leaves and Silas asks Nina what she's been keeping from him. She tells him she's been skipping PT so she can take art therapy. She's having a hard time getting over losing their baby. She breaks into tears and tells Silas it would drive a lesser woman mad. He's glad she told him and wants to help with counselors. She wants to keep doing art therapy and he agrees. They run into Rosalie and Silas leaves Nina with her. Alone, Nina tells Rosalie that b**** Ava is pregnant again. Back in Alice's room, Ned sees Tracy stomp off.
Kiki brings Alice dinner in her hospital room. Alice isn't hungry. Tracy takes Kiki to apologize for not listening to her about Luke. Ned and the Corinthos boys walk in an announce the latest heart is not viable. "It's the last round," Alice announces. She thinks they need to say their goodbyes. The greatest pleasure of her life has been taking care of the Quartermaines. Selma Diamond stumbles in. She's heard about the heart situation and wants Alice to have her brother's. Everyone is thrilled and thanks her. Alice promises to live up to the gift. The brothers take Selma down the hall to fill out the paperwork. Down the hall, Nina wheels by the nurses' station and chats with Silas. She says she'll be walking again in no time. They joke about her culinary skills. Molly pops up and chats to Silas about what's been going on lately. Nina wheels away. Molly wonders if there is any hope for the doctor and Sam. He doesn't think it's in the stars. As they discuss Rafe, she flashes back to the night of the crash and remembers Rafe saying the crash wasn't an accident. He was forced to do it. Silas wonders who would do that. Meanwhile, Sonny sits outside of the hospital making calls when Carly approaches him. They chat about Alice and then his problems with his sons. She takes his hand. Nina watches them from a doorway. The mobster talks about how repetitive his life is and then he accuses her of lying to herself about Franco. He grabs her face and starts kissing her. She pulls away and says that was wrong. Sonny laughs when she says she loves Franco. He admits he just saw Olivia kissing Ned. Carly tells him about Joss hiding Spencer and repeats that she is committed to Franco. Nina wheels back down to Silas and Molly. They tell her what they have been discussing. And Selma heads out of the hospital to meet Sonny. She thanks him for the fake ID and he pays her off. "This was a good thing you did," she says.
At General Hospital, Sonny joins Morgan and Michael's vigil and offers to do anything to make this easier for his sons. Morgan tells him to just leave and go back to Ava. Sonny wants to tell him something about Ava but Morgan walks away. Sonny is glad Michael is there for Morgan, and wants Michael to tell his brother that Ava is not living with him anymore.. He leaves. Meanwhile, Ned urges Monica to hurry back home after learning her trip to Baltimore was futile. He hangs up and Olivia grabs his arm. She apologizes for her drunken behavior and is glad they are friends. She hands over a big bag of food for him and the Quartermaine clan while they keep watch over Alice. He tells her Alice is getting weaker and imagines his grandfather insisting he figure something out. She tells him he isn't his grandfather. Ned agrees - he'll never be the man he was. She hugs him and Sonny watches. Olivia tells Ned he's every bit his grandfather's equal, maybe better for letting people see how much he cares. Suddenly, Olivia grabs Ned in a liplock while Sonny watches. Olivia pretends to not have seen Sonny and he coldly tells them to give his regards to Lois. Later, Olivia apologizes for violating Ned. Ned knows she wanted to stick it to Sonny and he was happy to oblige. Then, Morgan returns to Michael and learns the donor in Baltimore changed their mind. Michael tells Morgan that Ava is not living with Sonny anymore. He tries to convince Morgan that Sonny loves him and will never give up, no matter what. Ned joins them and tells them they have to prepare to say goodbye to Alice.
At the hospital, Tracy tries calling Luke and leaves him a message about how Alice is dying and no one can know. She wishes someone could help her. Ned interrupts this lengthy message. He thinks they need to tell the family the truth but Tracy says it would make things worse. Ned threatens to tell Alice himself. Tracy offers to do it. Meanwhile, Alice wakes up in her room. Michael and Kiki are there. Morgan shows up. He brought wrestler David Otunga. Alice wonders if she's gone to Heaven. Otunga says she's the reason he took up wrestling. They compare moves. Alice is left alone with Morgan. She's in tears and says her heart is full of love. This is the happiest day of her life. Morgan assures her that she will get a heart.
At the hospital Tracy and Michael worry how to break it to Alice that she won't get Rafe's heart. Michael accuses Tracy of keeping Alice from telling him something, but Tracy doesn't think now is the time to have a family squabble. He agrees but promises they'll have this conversation soon. Tracy enters Alice's room as Felix leaves and tells her there's been a complication. She promises to find Alice a better heart but wants her to keep quiet about Tracy's return to ELQ. Meanwhile. Liz takes care of Rafe in his room and despairs about his wasted life, like Jake. Sam enters and Liz offers to have another doctor turn off the machine so Silas doesn't have to. Sam admits she doesn't know what Silas needs any more. Liz heard about Nina moving in and Sam tells her that Silas accused Patrick of intentionally leaving Rafe brain dead. Sam wants to convince Silas that Patrick didn't do it on purpose. Meanwhile, Silas tells Nina he heard her waking up with night terrors, shouting out Rafe's name. She doesn't want Silas to worry about her and promises they will get through it together. He wheels her to PT and leaves. Rosalie approaches and makes Nina jump. Nina admits if it weren't for her Rafe would still be alive. Sam, Kiki – they all did her wrong. But not Rafe. Nina wants to confess everything to Silas. Rosalie accuses Nina of still being in love with Silas, so if she tells him now she will lose it all. Later, Silas enters Rafe's room and Sam tells him his heart can't be used for the transplant because of the heroin. Later, Liz and Felix catch up in the locker room. Felix is still shocked Britt put in a good word for her, even if it was to look good for Nik. He wonders how Liz would feel about Britt and Nik getting back together.

Theatre Royal Stratford East
© Daniel Allen
The content on this page is provided by a Time Out partner.
Posted: Wed Jun 20 2012
A community theatre with many shows written, directed and performed by black or Asian artists, Theatre Royal is a great cultural hit in ethnically diverse Stratford. Musicals are big here – whether about hip hop or the Windrush generation. Kinks frontman Ray Davies penned the hit 'Come Dancing' for Theatre Royal Stratford East, while homegrown success 'The Harder They Come' made a West End transfer. New playwrights who fit the Theatre Royal bill are encouraged through various workshops: Voices in Exile supports writers from refugee backgrounds while Young Voices develops the work of 16- to 24-year-olds. There's a gem of a comedy night on Mondays too. The gig, which takes place in the long bar upstairs, has great line-ups considering you're not paying a penny. There's a regular poetry night on Sundays and live music every evening from 6pm.

A cake that will freeze well?
- Adrienne Mar 4, 2007 11:40 AM
I will be out of town for my roommate's birthday, but I'd like to leave a cake hidden in the freezer and email her that morning and tell her where to find it. Preferably there would be nothing for her to do with the cake other then letting it thaw, inviting folks over and eating it.
To make it a true surprise, I need to make it well in advance of my departure (some time when she isn't here), so I need a recipe for a cake that can last for at least 2 weeks in the freezer.
I have loads of equipment, access to whatever ingredients I need, no budgetary restrictions, and no time restrictions. The only catch is that she doesn't like chocolate. Yes, I know. But she's not at all picky as long as it's not chocolate.
She especially likes nuts, but that's not a high priority. Delicious is the priority.
Please advise me, chowhounds.
Thanks in advance,
Definitely "Queen Elizabeth Cake". While it doesn't look very fancy, it's soooo delicious (caramel, walnuts, some dates and coconut... and no chocolate). Its freezes very well. I follow a Quebecois recipe here:
It's in French. If you don't read French, then let me know and I can come back and post a translation.
re: littlegreenpea
Merci! This actually sounds like something I would love... I might just make this one for myself :)
re: littlegreenpea
Oh, yum! The ingredients sound divine. I'm also looking for desserts to freeze. Could you translate, please?
Use an oil based cake as this will remain more moist & will taste better when thawed out. Also use a flavored simple syrup to brush on the cake so it will be more moist as well as add flavor.
Maybe a nut based chiffon with a buttercream filling.
I've made this pistachio cake in a round cake pan. It freezes very well. It's very moist & tastes great with w/ some apricot preserves & a simple syrup & orange flower water soak in between the layers. Maybe finish it with a grand marnier buttercream.
re: sugarbuzz
That looks really yummy... if I made that, would you suggest packaging the topping separately? Do you think it would work to top it and just freeze it as-is?
I never bothered with the nut topping. I'm sure it would freeze well if you wanted to make that recipe exactly or you could just leave it off. The cake is jam packed with nuts already it really doesn't need it. Like I said I baked it in a round 9' cake pan. I filled the pan about halfway and got a nice sized cake. Maybe just bake it in the loaf pan as they did..douse it with some lemon syrup to keep it moist, freeze it & keep a jar of apricot preserves in the fridge so she can spread it on the cake. See if you can find some brandied cherries . The cake with the preserves spread on top & served with some brandied cherries would be killer. Leave instructions for her on how to make some chantilly & you've got a nice little dessert.
re: daily_unadventures
It does not have to be a cake, but I am unaware of any brownie recipes that don't involve chocolate :)
re: Adrienne
I guess those are called blondies :)
re: daily_unadventures
Ha -- true. That is a possibility then :)
Consider my chocolate pound cake. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/28192... It will keep well wrapped for week at a time so it will freeze beautifully.
Is your goal a tasty cake or a pretty cake?
I would think a good bundt cake would freeze well. Like a lemon bundt cake with a cream cheese frosting? You could get one of those gel decorating pens to write Happy Birthday around the perimeter in a nice color.
There's a cake store in Vegas called Nothing Bundt Cakes that does a dense, moist bundt cake with cream cheese frosting and we've frozen (and defrosted) those with no problems. If you keep it well wrapped, it shouldn't suffer any freezer burn and then maybe you can lightly rewrap it before you leave? http://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/
re: leanneabe
I would say tasty over pretty. For now I'm still planning to bake the cake myself -- because I've convinced myself that will make up for my not being there :) But this is a great back-up plan, and I think lemon bundt sounds delicious... I will look into recipes for that.
The Barefoot Contessa's chocolate layer cake (with chocolate buttercream) freezes very well. But actually, I've frozen a lot of cakes and they've all come out fine as long as they're well-wrapped.
Cheese cake freezes really well. You could leave a puried strawberry sauce or raspberry sauce in the freezer as well for a little added festivity.

Warren Barkley may have contributed to making WiFi a global standard and is leading our technology vision as SMART's CTO, but his K-12 experience may surprise you. Thanks for sharing this personal reflection, Warren! I challenge our blog readers to share their own personal K-12 school reflections — how does your personal experience with school inform your role as an educator? We welcome you to share with us on Twitter or in the comments below. You can find @warrenbarkley on Twitter too.
If you asked my parents, they would have told you that the K-12 education system failed me. My Dad was a huge fan of public education, he was president of the local PTA and started his career as a high school teacher in Canada. As active as my family was with the education system of that time, one of my learning needs still somehow slipped through the cracks. During my first year of my first university degree, I got 3 Fs in the opening term. It turns out I could not write and after some testing, we figured out that I was dyslexic.
Last week, we were thrilled to hear the news that Rafranz Davis has been invited to speak at the White House to present at the Office of Educational Technology's #FutureReady conference. Rafranz is an active SMART Exemplary Educator (SEE), co-founder of the weekly SMARTee Twitter chats, and a passionate education blogger. In this guest post, Rafranz shares her thoughts as she travels to Washington D.C. to speak about supporting future-ready teaching and learning:
On Wednesday, President Obama is hosting 150 of the nation's top superintendents at the White House to kick off his ConnectEd initiative, called #FutureReady, which is a detailed plan to get all schools connected with high speed internet access and devices for student learning. This is an important plan, as connected learning has given students across the country the ability to engage in meaningful learning experiences previously unimaginable. The fact of the matter is that while many schools benefit from such access, there are far too many more that do not.
This past summer, during the SMART Exemplary Educator Global Summit, many of us in attendance witnessed an incredible moment when SMART vowed to support a school in South Africa by providing them with school-wide high-speed access. As someone who often takes the "luxury" of connectedness for granted, I was deeply moved and reminded of how much global connectivity is critical to our students' future success and global readiness.
When I was asked by the Office of Edtech, a division of the Department of Education, to speak at tomorrow's summit, I was immediately reminded of that moment in Canada and the look on that teacher's face upon hearing that her classes would be connected, thinking of the opportunities that her students would have. To think that something as seemingly small as WiFi could potentially change a person's life is a truth that we often forget.
So, tomorrow I will represent my district, my instructional technology department and every global SMARTee that I met this summer as I give an Ignite talk about supporting future ready teaching and learning.
The first step, though, is being connected and tomorrow's event is an important leap towards accomplishing this for all of our students.
On a personal note, I have to thank SMART for their continued support of educators and ensuring that our voices are heard amidst the technology universe. My journey to the White House was more than likely "ignited" because I gave a little speech at ISTE during the opening Ignites, a trip that would not have happened without the support of SMART.

The Peachtree City Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol is in need of a sponsor. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has donated one of its trailers to the Squadron for use as a mission base.
