|Hyperacute T-waves: Wolff-Parkinson-White Pattern or Acute Coronary Syndrome?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22726664 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Pre-excitation syndromes can elicit electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities that are nearly identical to those associated with acute myocardial ischemia. In the presence of atypical symptoms, stable hemodynamics, and unremarkable levels of cardiac enzymes, the decision whether to subject these patients to coronary angiography, or even non-invasive testing, can be difficult. OBJECTIVE: To understand that pre-excitation syndrome can mimic acute myocardial injury, but should not preclude a complete ischemic work-up. CASE REPORT: A 53-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern and coronary artery disease risk factors presented with new-onset substernal chest pain. A baseline ECG was significant for hyperacute T waves. After refusing cardiac catheterization, he was admitted to the cardiac care unit for intravenous heparin and eptifibatide. Although his stay was unremarkable and resting echocardiogram showed normal contractility and valve function, treadmill stress testing was negative for ischemic change, but revealed ST-segment depression with maximum stress in the lateral precordial leads. This was thought to be a "false positive" secondary to his conduction abnormality. CONCLUSION: No reliable algorithm exists for making an ECG diagnosis of myocardial infarction in the presence of a pre-excitation syndrome. Similarly, current non-invasive modalities have limitations in detecting jeopardized myocardium. If acute or hyperacute injury is suspected, the patient should be emergently referred for cardiac catheterization.

'EFF has a violent nature'Comment on this story
Parliament - The ANC expressed outrage at the Economic Freedom Fighters' behaviour in Parliament on Thursday.
"We think it undermines the integrity, the aura and the decorum of the House," spokesman Zizi Kodwa said.
"It is quite clear that the intentions of EFF is not to engage within the framework of promoting public accountability, but... to promote anarchy and general disrespect."
Kodwa said the EFF had a "violent nature" which could take the country backwards.
"We warn them not to take us back to the past where we will have no option but to defend our hard-won democracy."
EFF MPs refused to leave the National Assembly after Speaker Baleka Mbete ordered them out earlier on Thursday because they were "not serious" about proceedings. Long after being ordered out they were still sitting in their benches chanting and singing.
The party's MPs disrupted proceedings while President Jacob Zuma was answering questions.
EFF leader Julius Malema was not happy with Zuma's reply to a question about when he was going to repay part of the money spent on the R246 million security upgrades to his private Nkandla homestead in KwaZulu-Natal.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela had recommended in her report on Nkandla, titled "Secure in Comfort", that Zuma repay part of the money.
Mbete adjourned Parliament for the day shortly after 4pm, announcing Zuma would not complete presidential question time because of the EFF's protest.
Democratic Alliance parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane said what happened in Parliament on Thursday was concerning.
"It compromises on the future of this country. I didn't think the EFF procedure was correct. There are rules of Parliament."
However, he said Mbete had failed to let Malema get a response to his question and had failed to hold the executive to account.
"We want an urgent meeting with the Speaker to make sure this doesn't get repeated and that it gets sorted out properly."
United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa said the day's events were a wake-up call for the ANC.
"Zuma has been dodging to answer questions all these years," he told Sapa via SMS.
"They gave him his medicine. This arrogance of power must come to an end." - Sapa

November 29, 2015
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Anti-gambling forces were heartened by an election that ousted a handful of legislative incumbents who had voted for failed casino and slots bills.
Martin Cothran, a policy analyst for The Family Foundation, said the odds against expanding gambling opportunities in Kentucky have now gotten steeper.
Gov. Steve Beshear has been pressing for casino-style gambling in Kentucky since he was first elected in 2007. So far, he's been unable to get lawmakers to pass legislation. The closest he came was in 2009 when a divided House approved a bill that would have allowed horse tracks to bring in slot machines. The Senate refused to go along, and the bill died.
Beshear said last week he would like for lawmakers to approve a gambling measure when they convene early next year.

Other than that, I've had no problems other than the occasional crash (which I put down to sloppy game coding). Thanks, Calibur! =)
Fear 3, new Steam Update 5:00 PM, 6/30/11. Trainer...well..Papertakes Rock??
Just an FYI
Love you guys !!
Chuck O
I turn on the trainer, then the game. At main menu press F1 and then nothing? No "trainer activated", no option working. I do an alt tab, and the trainer acts as if it doesn't recognize the game is running. Even tried running it in the game directory.This is on Vista 64bit, game version 22.214.171.1245. DX11
This is the first time EVER I had a trainer from here completely not work at all.
That's because there were two updates yesterday: it didn't work anymore after the first one, then after the second one, it even erased all savegames (but Steam boards have a solution for the savegames somewhere (I can't seem to find the exact thread back): forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=505 )
[Edited by wildpeaks, 7/1/2011 8:59:10 PM]
[Edited by ImEi, 7/1/2011 11:03:33 PM]Ok, still crashing but the trainer works.
[Edited by ImEi, 7/2/2011 3:31:29 AM]
If someone wants to give me a copy of "fear31.dsSave" that is half way through this mess of a game, I'd really appreciate it.
Anyone else is facing this?That was strange, restarted the game and played as "Point Man" in a different part of the game, then went pack as Fettel and it all worked fine.

Constitutional Law
A better solution (at least for first years) would have been to transfer them to busier practice areas. Obviously, Thacher isn't committed to its hires.
Main Street hits Wall Street - about face.
I'll have more sympathy for Tventenstrand and TPW when they indicate that they're laying off or pushing out partners in the affected practice areas.
How did TPW get to be so over-exposed in this one (esoteric?) field? I understand environmental boutiques, or labor and employment boutiques, or IP, but this seems like a rather questionable move on the part of law firm management to so hedge itself into an area that is so obviously cyclical. Thoughts?
What's the outlook for corporate associates in the near future besides structured finance? is it going to look good?
such unfairness to the associates...it shows they don't care at all about them or their families...what happened to making a committment to them...instead, the partners bill out at higher rates, let go of the expense and wait until the market turns until they re-hire...no loyalty
Anonymous #1 @3:06, perhaps that would be a better solution, or perhaps not. I think that the firm is likely not set equipped to absorb that many excess bodies, and that the firm and the baby lawyers are better off this way. Keeping around excess bodies when the work may or may not be there doesn't help the firm, and it certainly doesn't help the newbies.
-been there done that.
All that matters it the bottom line. All else is simply conversation.
All that matters is the bottom line. All else is simply conversation
What a miserable looking law firm to work at. Have you seen their website, with a primer to structured finance terminology?
So much for that big law job, I hope the associates have their law school debts paid off or someone is going to come a knocking at their doors.
This firm is a joke. Never put all your eggs in one basket. You know it is a bad firm when your top litigator leaves (4 months ago) to join the NY office of a Dallas based firm.
Mr Tvetenstrand must be a very smart guy. He got his BS dgree from Columbia in 1982 and his JD from Columbia in 1983. Very impressive.
Any word on how this has affected their recruiting? I know a bunch of people who've already declined offers from them.
Why should partners be put out with associates? Technically, the associates work for the partners. Why should partners be forced to fire themselves before or along with their employees?
Any law students should beware of this firm. It's a sinking ship. It only took a few days for managing partner Mr. Tvetenstrand to change his tune about firing associates.
Poor associates indeed.
Wow, canning 24 associates right before the holidays. That's just not right.
What a great firm, being considerate about not wanting to put its associates careers on hold.
Now those associates can go out and enjoy the red-hot job market for mortgage-backed securities lawyers.
What will happen to 3Ls who have already accepted offers to join TPW next year?
Summer associates had to make decisions on offers by 12/1. Makes the timing of this sort of suspicious.
How does this affect/relate to other NY firms that have strong structured finance & real estate practices, e.g. Cadwalader?
Grow up, cry babies.
Businesses hire and fire employees as they deem in their financial best interest. They are not charities, or government agencies (a form of workfare for many public employees). There are literally thousands of law firms in this country to work for. The market is extremely competitive, and the options and opportunities for decent law grads are abundant, compared to most industries. Also going solo is something lawyers can do more easily than most professionals.
What do you all expect, a free lunch?
Merry Christmas! You're fired! But please don't let that dampen your holiday cheer.
I had an offer to be w/ them for next summer. Back in early October (before all this played out to extent it has today), I went back for a second visit. The purpose was to gauge the atmosphere about their structured exposure. What was odd was how defensive people, including associates, were when asked about how things were going. I actually felt bad about turning them down.
Very good structured firm, but they should have been a bit more honest w/ some of their potential recruits.
I don't see why people are so upset with TPW. They are in business to make money. Also, you don't make $160k at age 25 without an expectation that they will kick your butt to the curb as soon as you aren't profitable. Your only value is the hours you bill. You don't bring in clients. You don't provide indirect benefits to the firm. You are a billing machine. When the machine stops serving its purpose, it is time to get rid of it.
They are lucky they even get a severance. The firm probably had no obligation to do that. If the way they treated these associates is really that offensive to you, then I assume you will have a real problem with the actions of each and every one of your clients when they eventually have to lay off some of their employees while paying your insane billing rates. Most employers are far more heartless about layoffs than this.
Couple thoughts:
1. As to why TPW got so over-exposed in this area...Structured finance was HUGELY profitable. Just look at TPW's PPP and compare it to their standing on the Vault 100. Standardized structured finance deals allow for heavy levels of associate staffing and minimal partner involvement, resulting in high PPP.
2. Thank you RepublicanPatriot. What's with the pseudo-union mentality on all these boards? This isn't France nor are we in the throes of a deep recession. The market for transactional attorneys is still white hot, and any TPW mid-level who has acquired a modest acumen of skills should have no problem finding work. TPW did them a favor by couching it as a layoff instead of claiming it was performance based. It's much easier to tell a prospective employer you were laid off because your group died than because you graded out poorly.
8:12 - you are nuts if you think these laid off associates are being released into a "white hot" job market. If any of them had significant experience in an area other than structured finance, it is likely that they could have been absorbed into that practice area at TPW. No one in town in hiring structured finance associates right now.
Truth of the matter is that for junior associates a reckoning is coming in which each year will not necessarily be filled with "special" bonuses and salaries will not jump 30% in a year. TPW may be first, but it will likely spread, salaries will stay flat for a while and hiring will go down. Associates will no longer run and hide when getting the dreaded call to work a weekend, thinking that there will always be another gig elsewhere. The pendulum always swings back at some point. Those with jobs have to remember always that they need to make the firm need them more than they need it. Associates at TPW are learning that the former is not always the case.
the real question is, who is next?
RepublicanPatriot -- you either know nothing about the legal market or have some sort of personal interest in defending TPW. I don't know of many structured finance associates that can suddenly start a solo practice when their only experience since graduating from law school has been turning SF or RE loan docs for years on end. And forget about going in house for clients who are going bankrupt. Does it count for anything that some of us worked like DOGS to line the pockets of already-rich partners who live in penthouses and fifth avenue mansions and don't have the decency to give a "market" package to their employees (McKee Nelson gave out full bonuses).
As the sole breadwinner of my house, I'm looking forward to being unemployed AND unmarketable.
anyone notice that he graduated law school in one year?
law firm associates exist to handle work for partners and make the partnership as profitable as possible. when a practice area enters a recession, do you expect partners to suffer? no, anymore than if any of you were partners would say, "let's cut back $250k in salary to give our associates lots of money for doing no work in a dried up practice area."
Perhaps there's a silver lining for the associates. They can discover that there are lots of other options out there other than working for these slave pits whose only interest is to make money. I've been there and left years ago. Now I'm working for a non-profit and serving the needy, of which there are many.
Like I used to say when I taught Torsts: too bad, so sad.
Anyone joining TPW must've realized that the practice was heavily leveraged towards structured finance work. Therefore, it logically follows that a slowdown in structured finance work could cause layoffs. That there had been no slowdown or let-up in the torrent of these deals over the past several years means nothing: past performance is no guarantee of future results.
That being said, the associates who have lost their jobs are human beings who are entitled to reasonable sympathy given the circumstances. However, although I have no personal knowledge, I am fairly certain that TPW never promised or guaranteed a lifetime of employment. Everyone's an employee at will in New York State. Their story is one that is being repeated many thousand fold throughout the financial/real estate community at this time.
It also may (or may not) wind up repeating itself as it did in the early 1990s with waves of layoffs and retrenchment fo hiring throughout big corporate law firms. Sometimes, as the saying goes, timing is everything.
A few questions
1) Who do you think will likely jump on the layoff bandwagon? Cadwalader? Sidley? Orrick?
2) What happened in 1990's?
3) What other areas after structured finance will be next?
This isn't the only firm to lay off in this area. Clifford Chance axed a whole group and my firm, Mayer Brown, has quietly told lawyers to look for a new job, a la Thatcher Profitt.
The structured finance guys might have a hard time, but I'm pretty sure the real estate lawyers will be okay if they are comfortable transitioning out of a strictly securitized lending practice (which I assume TPW has to support its securitization practice). I'm getting headhunter calls at least once a week for general real estate associates. While real estate has slowed down somewhat, there are still lots of non-securitized deals being done.
Comment by n/a are good questions. Look for other firms with heavy focus on Commercial Paper Conduits, SIV's and CDO's (ie Mayer Brown, McKee Nelson, the firms mentioned by n/a, etc.), especially if they don't have other quasi-related areas in finance, real estate or bankruptcy. The firms that survive this mess will have broad based practice areas and an inclusive firm culture (rather than sweat shop/cut throat mentality).
n/a and Just guessing: Sidley did NOT lay people off in the 1990's, dot-com, or 9/11 downturns. Granted, this current crisis has hit structured finance departments worse than those earlier downturns. But though Sidley has a huge structured finance practice, it's still but a small piece of its (1,800 lawyer, $1.2+ billion) pie. I'm afraid that the same cannot be said for TPW, CWT, McKee Nelson, etc. It does seem strange, however, to hear about such troubles at Mayer Brown, which one would think has a broad enough spread of practices to weather this storm.
Please don't forget that less than TWO months ago, the managing partner at TPW adamantly stated there would be NO layoffs!! So many people had not been looking and were completely unprepared for this "development." Laid off in Jan, pay through March = 2 month severance. Pretty shabby compared to McKee Nelson!! And MN did not give there associates a "guarantee"
I think part of what caught TPW off guard is that the securitization slow down isn't limited to residential mortgage backed securities. The markert has lost so much faith in the rating agencies that the market for commercial mortgage backed securities and CDOs has fallen off a cliff as well. That doesn't leave a lot of practice areas intact. With all that said, TPW is handling this very badly. They should have given the associates an opportunity to discretely switch firms around the time bonuses are paid out and everyone switches firms. Now every lateral canidate has a big scarlet letter on their resume that come from being one of the 24 asked to leave.
one possible solution would be for the TPW folks to give up their rather nice offices and move up to midtown like the rest of us. they're obviously living beyond their means down there.
Vote for Hillary --
What kind of socialist fantasy world do you live in, or want to live in?
Employees get paid to do a job that their employers consider valuable. Their salary and benefits and perks represent their *full* compensation for the work they perform. Last time I checked, big firm associates enjoy a pretty damn good financial package. But if they don't think that the compensation is good enough, then they can look for a job somewhere else. This is how a "free market" operates.
Even Hillary can't promise you anything more than that she and her cronies will loot the wealth of those persons who are richer than you and pass out these persons' hard-earned money to whiny, pathetic moochers like yourself.
The legal job market is among the most dynamic and rewarding of all the job markets in this country. Does this mean that every single lawyer is guaranteed a six-figure job for life, and without having to "work like dogs" for their bosses? Obviously not. There is no world like this.
But a smart and hardworking person with a law degree is in a much better economic position than most people. Do you seriously believe that someone who went to law school, passed the bar exam, and worked for a few years at a big law firm is some sort of helpless, exploited proletarian? What a crock of nonsense.
Re Hmmmm @ 7:03am, I am only speculating re Mayer Brown based on a couple of interviews with them and what I've read on public forums. They apparently did have a very broad range of offerings, but they decided to narrow them to "core" areas. In finance they only really offer structured finance now, having lost e.g. all of their leveraged lawyers in NY. They also laid off many litigators earlier in the year. Other firms have also made the decision to go "hard core" and focus on once booming areas like private equity, structured finance and real estate funds - I wonder if they now regret moving away from what made them what they once were but can now never be again.
Re Hmmm @ 7:03am, If there are longer-term economic rewards for firms that stick with their employees through downturns, is Sidley an example? Or is it just that they were large enough by the 90s, and diversified enough, to move their people into other areas, so it wasn't that much of an immediate pocketbook sacrifice to keep their people?
What would be examples of relatively smaller, less diversified corporate firms that didn't do layoffs in bad times and are now benefiting from that as a firm?
I'd hate to be those associates, and think they should have had a clue what was coming, but folks like "Republican Patriot" also seem clueless.
9:27, I'm not sure what you're saying is true with respect to Mayer Brown. I don't work there (and never have) but every M&A transaction has a finance component. I'd be really surprised if Mayer Brown's general corporate and private equity lawyers couldn't handle just about any finance/leverage transaction not involving securitization.
Is this the first substantial layoff by a Vault 100 firm thus far?
I do know that a recent survey either in AmLaw or NLJ (can't remember) showed some firms that shed around 20% of their associates. Not sure why -- anyone have any idea? If I can dig up the link I'll post it here.
You folks should blame Congress who legislated that mortgage lenders be "less discriminatory" (a/k/a give more loans to those who have bad credit or who happen to be of a minority background) in their politically correct liberal attempt to be the good guy. Now Barney Frank is introducing legislation to allow tort lawyers to sue, and I quote, "predatory lenders" on behalf of those who got sub-prime mortgages.
You can place the blame for all this mess squarely on the Liberals in Congress. Their political correctness has come back to bite all of us.
Quit blaming TPW, socialists.
11:21: Why does it matter what "Vault" 'ranks' anyone --I mean, is Vault worthy of any recognition? Am I missing something, or aren't they just sort of a parasite?
I think the vault ranking got the tiers right, but not precise rank, in fact, there is no way to precisely rank one firm versus another.
Many professions, especially including the legal profession, have morphed into businesses with the goal of optimizing the bottom line. In this respect, controlling partners care more about their own interests than that of the profession. This is why I treat my legal advisors just like any other hired hand. Beware of agency risk!
A few things from someone who built his opinions during the dot.com layoffs:
The majority of a partner's job at a firm is to generate business. The partners also make the forecasts and hire the number of associates they believe the firm will need. So if there is not enough work available to keep the associates busy, it's the partners' fault.
In addition, the partners were making large, rising profits during the boom years. They were piling the work on the associates, and reaping the benefits of each hour billed over the minimum -- and there were plenty of hours billed over the minimum. This isn't a problem - but the partners built up the system, and profited from it.
The partners also recruited the associates - in TPW's case, part of the recruiting was a promise that it wasn't going to make layoffs and that everything was fine. Caveat emptor associates. The worst-off associates are any first years who were laid off - they didn't have time to earn any bonii from the boom years, and likely turned down other offers on reliance of the TPW promises and assurances. They made bets by taking on huge debts, worked hard, landed the biglaw job and assumed they could work hard for a few years and pay off the debt, justifyin the education expense. Once again, caveat emptor associates.
Republicans aren't against the market enforcing discipline on liars.
As a former biglaw corporate associate who went in-house, I know that corporate partners were bemoaning the fact that there was a shortage of mid-level corporate associates to handle all the work when the business picked back up - but a) they had laid off the people whom they should have been training (which led to the bidding war that was directly related to the jump in associate salaries) and b) the associates knew that loyalty was a 2-way street, and they weren't entitled to expect any - so why should they give any?
At least it's not a general recession like in 2001-02, so the younger associates may be able to get on board with another firm in a different practice area. Good luck.
Look at the fall of dollar. Fed's plan to cut interest rate will contribute to the collapse of dollar. A dollar is now 80 cents, means ur salary is worth 80% of what ur earning. any 1 thought abt t?
Sidley definitely laid off associates after 9/11, but it was done quietly. I could name several who were laid off at once (i.e., not isolated layoffs) in slow areas. They were also given 4 months' salary if I recall correctly.
Good luck to the newly unemployed TPW associates. Now is the time to take a hard look at your career goals and decide if you really want to look for a gig with any of the big law bozos at all...
Welcome to the real world where getting a job as an attorney is more difficult than ever. Thats the Bush economy!
The firm is essentially made up of a bunch of Partners who are jerks and don't give a toss about anyone other themselves. Majority of their revenue comes from their Mortgage-back securities practice. What happended to planning for a slow-down and hiring accordingly. It's not rocket sience all the signs where there that debtors were over extended therefore lenders were in trouble. TPW has no future and any lawyer with ambition to succeed and have a meaningful career should stay clear of the firm.
I give the firm six months before they close their doors. They are heavily reliant on their mortgage-back securities practice and we have not yet seen the bottom - not even close. I guarantee some Partners are looking for new jobs right now and you will hear of departures very soon.
"This firm is a joke. Never put all your eggs in one basket. You know it is a bad firm when your top litigator leaves (4 months ago) to join the NY office of a Dallas based firm."
Obviously you didn't know too much about this partner.....
How can the chairman of the firm promise no lay offs and then lay people off just a month or two later? Shouldn't the affected associates be able to sue? Promissory estoppel or something?
Friends thought I was crazy leaving TPW some time ago...now I'm the brainy one.
I know this firm before 9/11 it was a great firm. But after 9/11 when they lost all of the files due to no backups it turned into a very bad firm. I am glad I am no longer there. Way too many egos there. Thier IT dept and those who run it are the worst clicky people I ever meet. The lawyer who runs the IT there thinks he's God. I wait for this firm to sink before I die. This law firm is a terrible firm to work for from the top on down. I know!

Red-fronted Macaw Project
|Project Partners
The red-fronted macaw is unique to a small area on the eastern slope of the Andes in south-central Bolivia. The population numbers of this species are declining throughout its range.
According to researchers, the red-fronted macaw's global population size is estimated at fewer than 1000 individuals. The decline in the red-fronted macaw's numbers and its small remaining population in the wild has caused the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list the red-fronted macaw as Endangered.
The principal threats to the red-fronted macaw are illegal trapping for the pet trade and habitat loss to agriculture and overgrazing by goats.
Red-fronted Macaw Project members clearly saw that they would have to work closely with local people to change attitudes about the birds and develop alternative sources of income.
RZSS has supported this project since 2005 by providing funding to a non-profit Bolivian NGO called Armonía. They specialise in bird conservation, and in enabling local communities to identify alternative income sources.
The core project in this instance is eco-tourism. Having identified a potential income-generator, the project team built a tourist lodge. The project also secured a 50 hectare site that includes the all-important San Carlos cliff, where the birds breed.
Progress and Achievements
In 2008, some of the progress and achievements of this project included:
- 124 acre red-fronted macaw Reserve was created to protect the
San Carlos nesting cliffs and native vegetation that is important
foraging habitat not only for the Red-fronted Macaw but also for
honey bees.
- Construction of accommodations for an additional eight guests,
a larger kitchen and quarters for support personnel increased
significantly the capacity and earning potential of the red-fronted
macaw Ecolodge.
- 18 community members capable of managing honey production. 92
kilos of honey were produced in 2008; nearly double production in
- Environmental education activities with more than 460 students and 30 teachers.
- Dissemination of information on the Red-fronted Macaw and
Armonía's conservation program in three major Bolivian newspapers
and the in-flight magazine of a nation airline.
- Launch of a national campaign against illegal wild bird trade:
a traveling exhibit in five major cities was visited by more than
2600 people; media campaign reached approximately 2,800,000 people
or 33% of the population.
- Population and breeding bird census at 28 sites
- Monitoring of foraging behavior during the non-breeding
- Radio tracking of five macaws.

Sometimes life feels like layers of complications. Like taxes and traffic and cavities and getting laid off are all piled high into one smelly sandwich that you're supposed to eat for lunch. Really…? Worst sandwich ever. Do not want.
Complicated. Yea. It happens to you. It happens to me.
Luckily there's… bread. And thank the holy heavens for butter.
Bread and butter. Yes. A post about bread and butter. Perhaps the most beautiful and uncomplicated thing you can put into your face. Don't fight me on this one. That would only make things more complicated. Go and eat. Bread and butter.
And yes… I burnt the bottom of my bread a bit. These things happen.
This is a pretty foolproof bread recipe. Don't worry. If you're intimidated by yeast and bread baking you might consider freeing yourself of that fear with this recipe. Really… all you need is time… sometimes that's the hardest ingredient to come by. Take a lazy weekend afternoon and give this bread a try. It's worth the effort just to make your house smell like fresh baked bread. Trust.
Two Crusty Round Loaves
I followed the recipe I found from Jaden of Steamy Kitchen
4 cups bread flour (the higher gluten content in important)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
Measure out 1/4 cup of bread flour and reserve a the clean counter top. Place the remaining 3 3/4 cup bread flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment. Measure the salt and place on one side of the flour and add the yeast to the opposite side of the flour. Pour the warm water in the middle and mix on low speed (with the paddle attachment) until the dough just comes together.
When the dough forms a mass, switch to the dough hook and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Dough should clear the sides but may stick to the bottom a bit. If you feel like the dough is too sticky or too dry, feel free to add a touch more water or flour by the tablespoonful. After 2 minutes, let the dough rest for five minutes.
After the five minute rest, mix the dough again for 3 minutes. Place the dough on the counter and, using the 1/4 cup of bread flour we reserved in the beginning, hand knead the dough. You may not need to incorporate the entire 1/4 cup. If the dough feels firm and solid enough, just knead for a few minutes and prepare it to rest. You should have a satiny, smooth compact ball.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, and turn the dough over to coat the entire dough lightly in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and place in a warm spot to rest for 1 1/2 hours. The dough should double in size. Remove from the bowl, punch down and reform into a ball. Return to the bowl, cover and allow to rest for another 30 minutes.
After the second short rest, place the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a smooth, round ball, tucking any haggard edges on the underside of the dough. Leave to rest, covered with a damp cloth, on the lightly floured surface for 45 minutes to a hour.
During the last 20 minutes of the resting period, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a baking rack in the lower third of the oven and leave either a baking stone or an upside down baking sheet in the oven to heat as well.
Just before the boules are set to go in the oven, slash the top of the loaves with 2 to 4 slashes, using a sharp knife. This will allow the bread to expand in the oven. Remove the super hot baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the dough onto the baking sheets and return to the oven.
Here's some fun! Just after you put the bread in the oven, take 1/4 cup of water, open the oven door, quickly poor the water onto the hot oven floor and immediately close the oven door. We're creating steam here people… it's exciting. Wait 2 minutes and repeat the process.
Bake loaves for 20-25 minutes. They'll be golden and gorgeous. Remove from the oven and insert a thermometer. The temperature should be between 190 to 210 degrees F.
Here's the hard part: let the bread cool completely before slicing.
You did it! Now where's the butter!?

Certainly nothing better than fresh bread and butter.
Unless there's the one thing that's even better: fresh bread sprinkled with salt. Period.
Oh Joy – it is such a pleasure to read your blog! You make everything alright with the world :-) Mary
I was never a bread fan until I started blogging….now it is all I want! But I have always been a butter fan. :)
Homemade bread is the best….I love it!
In my blog i have a post about bread either!
please bread be cool FAST! *___________*
Bread looks great but did you just say you'd been laid off or was that more generalised? So sorry if so!
I occasionally make bread at the weekends and I love it, you just can't beat it, the taste is amazing, and you can add so many different things to it, like olives or seeds, it's just great! so much better than shop bought bread that's for sure!
Currently eating that sandwich for breakfast lunch and dinner, but everything seems okay when I look at that uncooked dough. It's so smooth it's a little hypnotizing.
Bread and butter sounds like wonderful comfort food to me. I can understand.
I wish I could try this recipe one day. Maybe once I get a new oven, I will christen it with baking this bread recipe. That would make the house smell so good. :)
hi, 1st time here. I like your blog so much!! I will visit you always! ;-)
YES!!! loooove Bread and butter home made especially- p.s I liked that you slightly burnt the bottom of your loaf:) makes us all feel better about our selves:P)
Oh yum..
Such great photos too. I can taste the fresh butter on this!
This will so be in my oven come tomorrow morning…er mid-morning. Either way, at some point bread and butter will be in my mouth. Cute tablecloth, by the way.
Mmmmmm. I would gladly pull all of the warm bread out from inside the crust, slather on cinnamon honey butter, and chow down ^-^. Not sure what would happen to the uneaten shell tho!
There is NOTHING better than bread and butter, especially when it's freshly homemade! This recipe looks wonderful. I can smell the bread already :)

Quick look: Lensbaby Composer and Optic Swap
updated 04:55 pm EDT, Fri April 10, 2009
Lensbaby Composer Look
Lensbaby, makers of unusual optics add-ons for DSLRs, continues to evolve the product, as seen with the recently introduced Composer. We've taken a quick look at the system to see how it works as well as to provide some anecdotes from our experience using it in practice. We've also taken a look at the Optic Swap System that lets you tailor the visual effects of the Composer.
A descendant of the original Lensbaby, now renamed "the Muse," the Composer is a ball and socket-based optic that allows for more precise control. The result is repeatability between shots. After the photographer has focused in the neutral position, they can then move the focal point, or "sweet spot" anywhere within the frame that they wish, with a corresponding fall-off of focus everywhere around that point. After correct focus has been achieved, a locking ring can be engaged to keep things sharp.
The Composer is a native 50mm focal length, which, when mounted on a typical APS-sized DSLR such as a Nikon D90 with 1.5X focal factor, results in a 75mm "perfect portrait" lens. Typically used by wedding and portrait shooters, the Lensbaby lends a new way of seeing to just about any other type of photography that exists. Constructed of polycarbonate with a metal lens mount, the Composer is set off with a nice aluminum-look front ring with rubber focusing grip. It features a unique focusing ring that, like a speed-sensitive steering wheel in a sports car, becomes more sensitive as it reaches infinity on the end of the focusing scale. A problem exists when using it on the aforementioned D90: Since the aperture index ring is no longer used on certain Nikon models such as this one, exposure is only able to be controlled in manual mode. At that, it becomes a trial and error proposition where correct exposure can be determined by consulting the LCD screen at the back of the camera. Switch to using the Lensbaby on the D300, D700, D3X and D3, as well as the other pro-cameras in Nikon's stable, and exposure can be accessed by manual, shutter- and aperture-priority modes.
Included with the Composer is a microfiber lens pouch that doubles as a lens cleaning material. Also along for the ride is a set of interchangeable levitating aperture disks, a disc case and a magnetic tool to replace the discs in front of the lens. The discs allow for varying degrees of depth of field.
Optic Swap System
The Lensbaby Optic Kit features three of the most desired special effect lenses to be used with the Lensbaby Composer lens. The kit includes the Plastic, Single Glass, and Pinhole or Zone Plate optics, which interchange with the optic that ships with the Composer lens. The result with the Plastic lens is similar to that found with the classic Holga "hobby" camera. A soft-focus optic, its style is a favorite among art photographers for the dream-like images it produces.
The Single Lens member of the Optic Swap System mimics the effects of an antique or vintage camera lens before high-tech multi-coatings were de rigueur in lens construction. The result is a little less flare control and a lot more charm.
The Pinhole/Zone Plate optic imitates the effect of the old oatmeal pinhole cameras that gave uniform softness across the image. The lens can be switched between the pinhole aperture of f:177 or the f:19 aperture of the Zone Plate effect by using the aperture tool supplied with the Composer to toggle back and forth. A long exposure will be a result of the tiny aperture of the pinhole setting, so don't forget your tripod.
Lensbaby sells the Composer for $270 and offers it in versions Canon EF and Nikon F mounts as well as certain Olympus/Panasonic and Pentax/Samsung mounts. The individual lenses for the Optic Swap System cost $35 each or in a three-lens bundle for $95.

Thanks to all of you who encouraged my search for a local supplier of a variety of quality bourbon.
I finally found what may be the answer to my prayers, as follows:
Located freeway-close in Costa Mesa, about 20 miles south along the coast, it's rather more convenient to my location than the Van Nuys store someone mentioned, and the product list is jaw-dropping.
In fact, I doubted that they could have such a variety in stock; so I called them and spot checked a few. Virginia Gentleman 6 y/o, Elmer T. Lee, Old Grand Dad 114, Old Fitzgerald 1849, Rock Hill Farms, and Elijah Craig 18 y/o are all in stock (at least so says their computer). However, even they don't have the Ancient Ancient Age 10 y/o that I've been wanting to try.
Now I'm almost wishing I hadn't broken down and placed an order with Sam's last night. It'll be a month before I get my next bourbon allowance.
BTW, at this very moment .... aaah!.... I am enjoying sipping the younger Virginia Gentleman (from my infamous haunted snifter). At first the nose was a bit harsh, as though a rush of alcohol was leaping from the surface and into my nose. After a while it seemed to quiet down, leaving a gentle, slightly citrusy aroma, and then I took my first sip.
My first impression was that it had just a bit of bite, but the flavor had a tangy sweetness that I really liked. The sweetness carried through to the finish. With subsequent sips the bite diminished, but the flavor did not. The only thing wrong with the flavor is that I would like to have a lot more if it.
If the 6 y/o (only 20 miles away in Costa Mesa) is a bit smoother and fuller-bodied, that will really be something.
Yours truly,

Papal Message: Tourism Can Aid Development
Note Sent for World-Day Observance
| 996 hits
VATICAN CITY, SEPT. 26, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Tourism can promote authentic human development, states a papal message sent on the occasion of World Tourism Day, to be observed Wednesday.
The message was sent in Benedict XVI's name on Sept. 8 by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, a week before he retired as Vatican secretary of state.
The message, addressed to Francesco Frangialli, secretary-general of the Spain-based World Tourism Organization, encourages reflection on this World Day as "tourism is above all an affair of human beings."
"The enrichment that it can produce must not be, therefore, simply economic or material," notes the message. "Tourism can promote an authentic human and social development thanks to the growing opportunity it offers for a sharing of goods, for rich cultural exchanges, for approaching natural or artistic beauty, for a comparison between different mentalities, traditions and religions.
"Traveling enriches the human spirit when one sets out to discover something new, when one is drawn to know the answers that others have given to the great questions of human existence."
The message continues: "Especially in our time, tourism appeals to the human person who wants to grow in knowledge and to experience how men and women are the bearers of civilization and of good. …
"[It is] desirable that states, associations of tour operators, academic and cultural institutions and unions of the tourist sector encourage the formation of specific competences and then offer dynamic guarantees for the welcoming of tourists."
It adds: "It is equally important to develop a persuasive program of education for the values of tourism in relation to and in defense of the persons, the communities and natural and cultural goods of the hosts.
"Only thus will the new marketplaces of tourism and leisure become resources for true human enrichment for all without excluding those who come from underprivileged conditions on account of their natural or social and cultural origin."

I've always wanted to be a mom. Ever since I can remember I wanted to have children that I could love and cuddle and kiss and play with. I dreamt of dressing them up, taking them to school, watching them at sports day and cheering them on in school plays.
I longed for the days where I could watch my little girl at a ballet recital or tapping her way through a dance exam. I would drop my little boy off at cubs and like my mom, I would be Baloo the bear. I would work in the tuck shop and attend parents evening.
And like my mother I too would say and do mom 'things'.
(***Disclaimer: some of these things were said in the 70's and 80's so they might not be politically correct in this day and age)
"just wait til your father gets home!"
"carry on crying and I'll give you something to cry about"
"if the wind changes direction your face will stay like that"
"if your eyes roll back any further they'll get stuck at the back of your head!"
"clean behind your ears. There's cauliflowers growing back there!"
"stop digging for diamonds"
"I don't want to see any food left on your plate. There's children starving in Africa"
"you are not going out dressed like THAT!"
"stop it! Otherwise I'm turning this car back now!"
"back so soon? I thought you were running away"
"I'll knock you into next week!" (* that's one of those non PC ones)
"those things on the side of your head are not for decoration you know!"
"stop screaming like a foghorn!"
"if you can't find a job one day you can always work on a ship as a foghorn!"
"I'll put soap in your mouth you say that again!"
"your hair looks so nice in a brush cut" (!?!)
"get off the phone now! Otherwise we'll have to surgically remove it from your head"
"stop being a smart ass! Nobody likes a smart ass"
"oh look there's something on your cheek" (wiping it away with her spit)
"let's fix your hair" (spitting on it)
"yes you are adopted!"
"yes you are the postman's child!"
"if only you were adopted"
"snot is not a vegetable"
"shut the door! Were you born in a barn"
"you'll wear that when pigs can fly"
What did your mom say that still makes you smile?

UNITY dropping the portion of its name representing the core principle of its founding is most unfortunate. UNITY can change its name, UNITY can change its logo, this is just makeup covering the problems that still remain. The reasons NABJ left UNITY still exist.
Over the past few weeks, I have had conversations with the presidents of NAHJ, AAJA and Unity. I am encouraged to hear from them individually that they are beginning to fully understand NABJ's concerns.

Final Stats (Norfolk St.) | Final Stats (Coppin St.)
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – For the first time in a month, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore men's tennis team returned to the Hawk Tennis Courts, but UMES was swept in a doubleheader by Coppin State and Norfolk State. The men fell in the opener to the Eagles, 4-0, before dropping the nightcap to the Spartans, 5-0.
UMES (0-8) opened with a 4-0 loss to Coppin State (4-6). The Eagles picked up their fourth win of the season after they blanked the Hawks at three of the top four singles spots. UMES broke the scoreless streak when freshman Mohin Uddin (Forestville, Md.) lost 6-1, 6-0 at No. 3 singles. The men were unable to do any further damage in the match as the Eagles kept the Hawks in check the rest of the way.
UMES continued its day with a 5-0 loss to Norfolk State (10-8). The team managed to score one point in singles play as junior Kijontray McClay (San Diego, Calif.) lost 6-1, 6-0 at No. 2 singles.

Contact Us
Our club has a number of ongoing activities that serve the community.
Since 1979 our club has been planning, planting, and maintaining the perennial and vegetable gardens surrounding the Paw Paw House in the Naper Settlement.
The Paw Paw House is one of the several landmark buildings that have been preserved and restored as part of the Naper Settlement, which is a depiction of a typical Northern Illinois town of the 1831 - 1885 era.
Once a month, members of the club assist residents of The Community Convalescent Center in Naperville to make their own floral arrangements or other projects and provide them with an opportunity for social interaction.
This interaction benefits our members as well as the residents.
The main focus of fundraising activities is to enable the club to award scholarships to selected local high school senior and college students who are planning careers in horticulture or related fields.
