Cooking with Game Sausage
'Artagnan game sausages are totally unique and loaded with flavor. Hand crafted in small batches using proprietary recipes, our all-natural game sausages are made with top quality ingredients like humanely-raised natural meats that are free of antibiotics and hormones. And they never contain any fillers, preservatives, colorants, nitrites or nitrates.
D'Artagnan game sausages come in five unique varieties. Duck and Armagnac Sausage is made from a rich mixture of duck and pork that is generously flavored with Armagnac for an authentic taste of Gascony. Our Wild Boar Sausages are lean, with intense pork flavor and a hint of fresh sage. Venison and Dried Cherry Sausages are robust with a sweet-spicy kick from dried cherries and ground chiles. Our Rabbit and Ginger Sausages are juicy, mild and sweet, made from a mixture of pork and rabbit, with a subtle, gingery bite. Lamb merguez is a traditional, spicy North African sausage made pork-free in a sheep casing.
Storage & Use
All of our game sausages are sold fresh and ready to cook. Keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to use or freeze before the date printed on the package. When frozen in airtight packaging, they'll keep in the freezer for several months.
Game sausages can be left whole, sliced or removed from the casing and cooked in many ways, such as on the grill, under the broiler, pan-fried, braised, griddled or cooked à la plancha.
Just a Few Ideas for Cooking with D'Artagnan Game Sausage
- Stir Fry Stars … Sliced game sausages add panache to stir-fry. Try Rabbit and Ginger Sausage with delicately flavored, tender-crisp vegetables like baby bok choy, snow peas, young carrots, water chestnuts and bean sprouts. Dress with fresh grated ginger, soy sauce and a little toasted sesame oil.
- Creative Canapés … Top crostini with a spoon of potato or white bean puree, then a thin slice of grilled game sausage for simple hors d'oeuvre. Crumbled and sautéed game sausage is delectable mixed with seasoned breadcrumbs then stuffed into mushrooms, small peppers, cherry tomatoes or onions and broiled until crusty.
- Hearty Breakfast … Game sausages make robust, satisfying breakfast links when served alongside your favorite eggs and toast.
- Comfy Casseroles … Game sausage adds depth and flavor to hearty casseroles. Duck and Armagnac Sausage is a prime component in our cassoulet. Bean, meat and potato casseroles all benefit from a little game.
- Pasta with a Twist … All of our game sausages go well in tossed pasta dishes. Try Wild Boar Sausage with homey red sauce and aged parmesan over spaghetti, Duck and Armagnac with penne and Black Truffle Butter or Lamb Merguez with sautéed peppers and couscous.
- Dressing for Success … Dressings, stuffings, and farcis deserve to get in the game too! Add diced game sausage for texture and flavor.
- Haute Dog … Of course all of our game sausages are delicious when grilled or pan-fried and served with your favorite condiments on soft buns. Our Game Sausage Sampler makes easy work of feeding a crowd. Just be sure to have plenty of complementary sauces on hand, like chutneys, relishes, mustards, and aiolis.

LECOM Presents Donation to Underwrite the Cost of Pharmacy Education Services
Erie Community Health Net (CHN) celebrated the Grand Opening of its new Pharmacy at the Daniel S. Snow, MD Health Center, 1202 State Street on December 2. The addition of the Pharmacy offers the Erie Community a complete circle of care including the already established medical, dental, oral surgery, behavioral health counseling, HIV/AIDS medical services, Health Care for the Homeless program and vision service.
|LECOM President John M. Ferretti, DO, presents check to CHN CEO John Schultz and Pharmacist Jeff Nowak, PharmD, LECOM 2005.
Representatives from Community Health Net's staff, board of directors, local officials and community organizations helped mark the pharmacy opening. LECOM President John M. Ferretti, D.O. and LECOM Provost, Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, Silvia M. Ferretti, D.O., presented a $25,000 check from the College to the Pharmacy project.
"Under the leadership of our Pharmacy Manager, Jeffrey Nowak, PharmD, RPH, patients can now enjoy the convenience of having prescriptions which were written at their doctor's appointment, filled and waiting for them before they leave the health center," said Community Health Net CEO John Schultz. "CHN purchases pharmaceuticals at 340(b) Federal Drug Discount Program, allowing us to offer our patients without insurance steep discounts. Through effective communication with patients and healthcare providers, the pharmacy services will ensure CHN patients have the right medication and clear instructions on taking their medications before they leave.
In addition to having their prescriptions filled, patients have the opportunity to meet with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) School of Pharmacy students and a faculty member who are on-site daily to provide patient medication counseling and education.
|Dr. Randall Heemer prepares to counsel patients with the help of pharmacy students Kanan Patel (left) and Julie DeWoody.
According to LECOM faculty member Randall Heemer, Pharm. D., he and the students also are providing educational in-services for Community Health Net staff, writing medication policies and procedures, provide Medication Therapy Management services, and participate in diabetes education series for patients.
"The convenience of these added services will help eliminate many barriers our patients face when it comes to actually getting the medications prescribed by their providers, as well as answering any questions a patient may have regarding their medications," said Schultz.
Ten students per year have worked with Dr. Heemer and Dr. Nowak, both of whom are LECOM School of Pharmacy graduates. With the opening of the Pharmacy, Dr. Nowak is currently working with one student per six-week Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE), but will increase that to two students per APPE next summer.
The Pharmacy hours are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

XMLBeans is a tool for handling typically XSD typed XML with support for the autogenerating of beans to map to a WSDL or XSD file.
We have an XMLBeanHandler in the XMLBeans packageyou can derive from if you wish to stay close to the metal.
Alternatively we've an XMLBeansRegistry which you can use with a RestService or SoapService to bind any service instances which can process incoming XMLBeans document types and possibly process some output.
Here is an example application which demonstrates writing a simple POJO based services using purely XMLBeans and letting ActiveSOAP be the REST or SOAP stack and handling the HTTP or JMS transports for you.
First you need some kinda service to expose. So we wrote a little interface.
|Wiki Markup
There's a method on this interface which accepts an XMLBeans type. We can have as many methods as we like all auto-published, the only requirement is that the parameter must be an XMLBeans type, so that when we register it with XMLBeansRegistry it can auto-deduce the QName which matches the XMLBean type.
Then if we register an implementation of this interface with the XMLBeansRegistry we can automatically publish the service as both REST and SOAP endpoints...

Comments about Delta Donatello Rack:
Use this to save space in my garage for my bikes. Assembled in a few minutes and quickly put my bikes on. Only real complaint is that the wheels on the top bike are usually sitting on the handlebars of the lower bike. I have the top bike mounted as high as it will go and the lower bike is basically sitting on the ground but they still touch. Still serves the purpose but can be a pain getting the lower bike off when the top bike is on. Would prolly not happen on smaller frames/ wheels (I have a road bike on top and a 29er on the bottom both large frames)

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine the concentration of theophylline or caffeine in the blood to establish an appropriate dose and to maintain a therapeutic level
When to Get Tested?
At the start of drug therapy and at regular intervals to monitor the drug's concentration; when indicated, to detect low or excessive (potentially toxic) concentrations
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or from pricking an infant's heel
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Theophylline and caffeine are methylxanthines – drugs that ease breathing and stimulate respiration. These tests measure the amount of theophylline or caffeine in the blood to help establish an appropriate dose and to maintain a therapeutic level.
Theophylline is one of several medications that may be taken by children and adults who have asthma and by adults who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a bronchodilator with a narrow therapeutic window – too little theophylline is ineffective, too much can cause toxicity. Chronic theophylline toxicity is associated with an increased risk of seizures. Both acute and chronic toxicity can be life-threatening.
Theophylline may also be prescribed to treat apnea in premature neonates, but caffeine citrate is the preferred medication. Apnea compromises the amount of oxygen available to the body. It is a common and serious condition in premature neonates that must be promptly treated and closely monitored. While both medications can reduce episodes of apnea, caffeine has fewer side effects and, thus, a lower risk of toxicity. At very high doses, symptoms similar to those found with theophylline toxicity may be seen.
Establishing and maintaining therapeutic doses can be a challenge. Both theophylline and caffeine levels may need to be monitored because the range of concentrations in which the drugs are effective but not toxic is narrow and in some cases the dose given does not always correlate well with concentrations in the blood. The rate at which the drugs are metabolized will vary from person to person and is decreased in both the very young and the elderly. The drug levels may also be affected by underlying conditions such as liver disease, hypothyroidism, and by acute infection or illness. Many drugs interact and interfere with the metabolism of theophylline. They may increase or decrease its rate of metabolism.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. In infants, blood may be collected by pricking a heel.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

CHESAPEAKE--Investigators with the Chesapeake Fire Marshal's Office say they have located what appears to be illegal dumping at a site leased by TME Enterprises.
TME is the company contracted by VDOT to do road maintenance on area highways, including patching the potholes on I-264.
Capt. Scott Saunders with the Chesapeake Fire Department says investigators found what appears to be road debris illegally dumped on property owned by VDOT but leased by TME Enterprises, Inc.
Chesapeake officials went to a site in the 3900 block of S. Military Highway Friday afternoon after Norfolk Fireinvestigators say they found TME illegally dumping at a similar site in their city.
The Chesapeake Fire Marshal's Office, along with representatives from The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, will conduct a follow-up investigation next Tuesday.

Soul Music
Soul Music (Mass Market Paperback)
When her dear old Granddad -- the Grim Reaper himself -- goes missing, Susan takes over the family business. The progeny of Death's adopted daughter and his apprentice, she shows real talent for the trade. That is until a little string in her heart goes "twang."
With a head full of dreams and a pocketful of lint, Imp the Bard lands in Ankh-Morpork, yearning to become a rock star. Determined to devote his life to music, the unlucky fellow soon finds that all his dreams are coming true. Well almost.
In this finger-snapping, toe-tapping tale of youth, Death, and rocks that roll, Terry Pratchett once again demonstrates the wit and genius that have propelled him to the highest echelons of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.
About the Author
Sir Terry Pratchett's many honors include the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Printz Honor, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, Britain's Carnegie Medal, the American Library Association's Margaret A. Edwards Award for lasting contribution to young adult literature, and the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award. His books have sold more than 75 million copies worldwide. Knighted for his "services to literature," Sir Terry lives in England with his wife and many cats.

Information For:
Jessie Guinn's Spotlight
Jessie Guinn ('11)
Graduate Program of Study: Biological Sciences-Physiology
Degree: PhD
Graduation Date: December 2011
Areas of Research: Circadian Rhythms, Neurobiology of Associative Learning
Hometown: Houston, TX
Current Employment: Postdoctoral Fellow with the Disterhoft Group at the Northwestern University of Feinberg School of Medicine
Obtaining a doctorate degree is Jessie Guinn's proudest academic accomplishments. Even though it seemed impossible at times, his passion for biology impelled Jessie to earn a PhD in Biological Sciences-Physiology in December 2011. Jessie became acquainted with Kent State University through his nomination to participate in the KSU McNair Scholars Program. During the duration of the summer program, Jessie worked with Dr. J. David Glass, who eventually encouraged Jessie to apply to Kent State.
Jessie's future aspirations involve teaching and attaining a position in higher education administration. "Teaching is a passion of mine and remaining engaged with students in that capacity would be greatly fulfilling to me," Jessie stated.
Jessie assures that his degree from Kent State University prepared him for his position at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. In fact, Jessie exclaimed, "KSU prepared me with its very capable team of faculty members in the Biological Sciences department. I learned a multitude of ideas, concepts and critical thinking skills from Dr. Eric M. Mintz, Dr. Sean L. Veney and Dr. Jennifer Marcinkiewicz." One of his favorite aspects of graduate school was his laboratory teaching. Specifically, Jessie's ability to help undergraduate students comprehend biological concepts and take pride in their lab work was deemed rewarding.
Jessie acknowledges his mentor Dr. J. David Glass for his support. "I sincerely thank him for the honor of his mentorship, giving me a chance, being patient with me and seeing me through to the end of the doctoral process," Jessie stated.
Spending time with family along with attending theatre performances are some of Jessie's hobbies. He wishes to provide the following advice to new graduate students: "Graduate study is a process that is rewarding, can be stressful and requires a great deal of dedication. Just remember the old adage 'Nothing worth having comes easy.'"

I went on vacation last week, hence the lack of posts. Before I start posting again, I'd like to take a brief moment for some introspection.
Blessing of Kings
This year my posting has been rather streaky. I'll post several days in a row, and then stop posting for a bit. I think I need to spend less time thinking about potential posts, and more time actually writing them.
I should also do more response posts to interesting articles other people have written. There have been a lot of neat posts that I've wanted to talk more about, but after thinking about it for a week, it feels like the discussion has gotten cold. I should strike while the iron is hot, or be more willing to pick up "old" topics.
I don't get a lot of spam on this blog, but for the last few months, I've been getting a comment in Japanese characters on one post. The comment comes roughly once a day, or once every other day, and always to the same post (Making an Impact). I can't read Japanese, but it looks different each time (or is rotating through a collection). Of course, since I can't understand it, I reject the comment every time. It's really weird.
New Blog?
I'm also thinking about starting a new blog for non-gaming material. Kind of honestly, the only problem is that I'm having a devil of a time coming up with a name for it.
Raider 101
Well, so far Raider 101 is a bit of a bust. Several months ago, it basically got overrun by spammers. I tried pruning it a bit, but eventually surrendered to them.
I don't know. It was a somewhat good idea, but the whole wiki aspect didn't really work out as I planned. Not only did it give the spammers an open doorway, but a wiki is only as good as the last edit. People would make edits that I would consider incorrect, or at least not suitable for basic information. For example, I had the complete 969 Prot rotation listed, but someone cut it in half and I did not notice until a few months later when a comment pointed out that the rotation was incorrect.
Or I had mages organized into four sections: Arcane, Fire, Frost, and Frostfire. Someone decided to replace Fire with the Frostfire information, and delete the FrostFire section.
I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong, but having to revert incorrect "corrections" got old fast. And when you're dealing with many changes made by spambots, it's the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Finally, I find I don't really have a lot of motivation to keep it accurate. Self-interest is a powerful motivator, and Raider 101 really offers nothing for the people who are most qualified to add information. EJ doesn't have this problem, because it is cutting-edge, and the most qualified people who post also benefit from it.
I'm not really sure what I'll do with the site.
Other Stuff
I hate spam. If I could change one thing about humanity, I would make advertising fail to work. I think everything would work better. Alas, advertising works, and we are stuck with so much nonsense because of that fact.

I read Japanese, so I can tell you what the comments say if you'd like to know... probably just comment spam, but who knows!

- Argon said...
I find Raider 101 useful. It is a nice brief summary of what raiding with each spec looks like, which is useful when deciding if I want to roll an alt of class X, or if its endgame looks boring. Sure, I could poke around EJ to find that info, but it takes longer, and for some specs may not even be present in any brief form.
- 2:50 AM, October 20, 2009
- Morrighan said...
An idea might be to make Raider 101 a link map, linking to more accurate information (therefore al you need to update is the links). Or to remove open access and contact a few bloggers and writers about writing specific sections and keeping them up to date.
I know keeping all my own information, just about retribution paladins, up to date from patch to patch is sometimes a challenge. So depending on who is using/writing it the Wiki format can end up very out of date.
- 3:29 AM, October 20, 2009
- jeffo said...
Maybe the thing to do with Raider 101 is to not allow it to be edited by anyone, but have all changes go through you. It's more work for you, but means that you won't find out that something's been horribly wrong for any length of time.
Of course, that assumes that you then know enough about all the other classes to be able to confidently edit/approve others' work; it sounds like you're already doing it.
- 3:45 AM, October 20, 2009
- Armagon said...
Whatever you plan to do, please keep it. Especially for new people or a fresh 80 alt the information is invaluable, because I especially do not want to wade through 100 pages of guides if all I need is 4 paragraphs with Glyphs, Rotations and Crit > Haste or MP 5> Spirit ratings.
Maybe if the wiki software allows it, "reviewed" versus "draft" versions would be cool. Plus trying to get 1-2 people to check stuff once in a while (or be notified by email of changes) - I'd surely be up for it
- 4:43 AM, October 20, 2009
- Tobold said...
I had exactly the same repeating Japanese comment spam, always on the same post. I copied and pasted it into the Google translator, and it appeared to be about a Japanese dating site. Solved the problem by turning commenting for this one post off, it's not as if there are too many valid comments on most older posts anyway.

- Gathorc said...
Please don't abandon Raider101. I have a lot of friends that are new to the game that I still point there to try and help them get up to speed.
- 6:43 AM, October 20, 2009
- Michael said...
Hmm didnt know you were having problems like that with the wiki. I hope you keep it around, it really helps and is a great beginning source for new players. In a time when alot of players just level through AV they don't get actual experience playing their class and/or their spec. Also with dungeons like TOC and pvp gear they out gear the instances after a while and think what they are doing is correct. The wiki is a great source to point them to and say here take a look at this, and they don't get overwhelmed like sites like elitist jerks. So I hope you continue the wiki. Maybe make it so that peole have to apply for permission to edit it and such. Thank you.
- 6:43 AM, October 20, 2009
- modulok said...
I agree that raider101 was a great idea and I hope that you find a way to keep it around. It seems clear that the wiki format is the real problem with the site, not the idea.

- Khrakan - Paladin, Shandris Realm said...
Raider 101 was a fantastic resource - though I noticed the wiki problems off and on, the basics were great for when dual spec'ing came out and I wanted to work with all my characters to understand the initial direction that I needed to go.
- 8:51 AM, October 20, 2009
- Fraggel said...
As a long timer reader; first time poster I will break my silence by saying: please don't let raider101 go away. It has been a tremendous help to me and I given the link to countless other people in my raid community as well (who have all embraced it as far as I can tell)
- 9:16 AM, October 20, 2009
- Ophelie said...
I never realized you were the person behind Raider 101! As a guild officer, I loved the site, not only to help struggling or new players up their game, but also for some quick guidelines on evaluating applicants from classes I knew nothing about. It's helpful to have all the basic information on one site and not have to sort through pages and pages of stuff I didn't need.
I had noticed that the site wasn't getting updated the way it should, but had just assumed it was because it was new. Adding to the suggestions others have made, perhaps having one person per class be in charge of making sure information gets updated after a patch and of approving changes made by random strangers would keep things tidy and lighten your workload.
I'm hesitant about volunteering to help because I'm a complete newcomer to the wow community, but I am fairly skilled at researching and summarizing information and always willing to lend a hand in that department. I'd really hate to see such a great resource like Raider 101 be abandoned!

I love raider 101, and link to it from my blog.
I haven't checked it out in awhile since I'm replaying through old world and haven't needed to look into it in awhile, so I was unaware of spam bots on it.
I think you need to do it in a way where you approve people to be able to edit the info, and only let a certain number do so.
It's a great idea, and has been really useful, I don't know if you have a way to keep track of traffic, and maybe not enough people visit it, but I know that whenever I needed help, like with my wife's frostmage, I'd use raider101.
Also, whenever someone is asking for help with their 80s I point them to raider101.

I think the problem with Raider101 is just that it hasn't hit critical mass. Once you get enough people reading and editing material then those incorrect-corrections would be found by the community pretty quickly.
Personally I'd completely forgotten about it, I'll try to make it a point to visit it more often, maybe add a thing or two I'm absolutely sure of.

I have 4 80s all with dual specs and I visit raider101 constantly! Don't let it go, it's a really good baseline for someone who has just hit 80 and isn't sure where to start.

i had the same problem with the Japanese comments, did just like what Tobold did, and didn't get any new comments from that person again.

I have to agree with all the comments about Raider101
I use it fairly regularly. As a guild officer I use it to frequently help new raiders. I also have 5 80's that I have used it for. Sometimes, just because I am just starting out a new spec that I don't know well.
I have 5 60's that I have used Raider 101 to look at since at 60 you are close enough that the rotations, glyphs and specs are pretty close.
I completely understand your frustration with the all the bad edits.
Several ideas that have been suggested above and some of my own grouped nicely together based on what I would love to see :)
1) Turn off the general edit, at best force moderations or just do #2 below
2) Get somebody to own each spec, another bloggers, member of your guild, somebody who volunteers. I think a person per class might be too hard, just look at Druid and Paladin.
3) Maybe more resource links to several other good blogs, pages, tools etc a the TOP making it even easier for people to do research
I think it will be hard to wait for volunteers btw :D.
I recommend just flat out sending a request to people you respect or have good blogs for each of the specs.
Actually, if you would like help rounding people up. I would love to help build the resource since I think it has great value.

Thanks for all the comments about Raider 101.
To be honest, the bad edits are really just an irritation. The spammers are the real problem. The quantity of new accounts and edits they made were too much for me to deal with.
I'm still thinking about it, but I think that I will have to move to a model where only specific people can edit.

Another big fan of Raider 101 here. I'm not the first person with this idea, but I do think the open wiki concept may not be the best way to for the page. One of the reasons wikipedia works, is there is such a vast amount of information that it is impossible for one person to know it all. With regards to wow specs, it is quite conceivable that say 5 people have all the correct info, throw it on there and it's done until the next patch.
On the other hand if you take wiki's that might be found at companies, they are closed off to only employees, and they just keep track of stuff that slowly (if ever) changes. It is much more of a repository than a public thing. So one idea might be to allocate a few people (maybe one per class) to be able to edit a page, and then throw open the discussion pages, so others can contribute to the "backend" but not the "frontend".
Might be too much work, but give it a thought, and keep up the good work.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – While most of the Miami University women's track and field team has the weekend off, four RedHawks competed at the Jesse Owens Track Classic Friday evening at Ohio State University's Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
Redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.) finished eighth in the discus with a personal-best throw of 45.47m/149-2, which moves her into seventh in school history. Freshman Amelia Strickler (Bay Village, Ohio) was not far behind in 10th with a toss of 43.97m/144-3, which is also a personal best, improving on her previous best by 10 feet. They were competing in a field of 33 throwers.
Miami's lone track runner at the meet was sophomore Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio), who placed 24th out of 54 runners in the 1500m run in 4:44.30, while running in her home town.
Miami's throwers will compete in two events Saturday at the Jesse Owens Track Classic, taking part in the shot put at 10:30 a.m. and the hammer throw at 1:30 p.m. Live results will be available on MURedHawks.com.
