Best Greasy Spoon (2006)
Himalaya Restaurant & Catering
Greasy hamburgers, fries and chicken all have their devotees in this town, but if you want to try a place that has really earned its grease, look no further than Himalaya. At this Muslim-Indian joint, a massive dose of oil and meat fat carries off an equally massive dose of piquancy, perfectly blunting the sharper edges of a delicious bouquet of spices. Try the goat biryani; the rice glistens with tasty unctuousness, and the meat is so tender it falls off the bone. The saucy dishes (stick to the meat fare) carry off a vindaloo-like punch. This is no place for sissies. Plastic grease guards cover the wooden tables. Sweat and oil will stream from your pores. But when it comes to prospecting the heart-stopping outer limits of flavor, this place serves liquid gold.

Article: Long-term Carperitide Treatment Attenuates Left Ventricular Remodeling in Rats With Heart Failure After Autoimmune Myocarditis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effect of carperitide, recombinant human atrial natriuretic peptide, on chronic heart failure (HF) has not been clarified. We investigated the beneficial effects of chronic carperitide treatment in rats with HF after experimental autoimmune myocarditis. A 28-day infusion of carperitide (n = 14) or vehicle (n = 14) was administrated to the rats 4 weeks after experimental autoimmune myocarditis induction. After 4 weeks, the myocardial levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), left ventricular function, myocyte hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, myocardial capillary vessel density, and activity of one prominent substrate of cGMP, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) that may enhance angiogenesis, were measured. Carperitide treatment increased the myocardial levels of cGMP and attenuated the functional severity along with a decreased myocyte cross-sectional area, interstitial fibrosis, and an increased capillary to myocyte ratio. Furthermore, carperitide treatment enhanced the phosphorylation of VASP at Ser239, which was preferentially phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase but not Ser157, which was preferentially phosphorylated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. Long-term carperitide treatment attenuates ventricular remodeling and ameliorates the progression of chronic HF. The effects of carperitide treatment are associated with increased neovascularization among the residual myocytes and an increase of VASP activation.
Article: Comparative Effects of Olmesartan and Azelnidipine on Atrial Structural Remodeling in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The differential effects between olmesartan (OM), an angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor blocker (ARB), and azelnidipine (AZ), a calcium channel blocker (CCB), on atrial structural remodeling were studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Eight weeks after treatment, both OM and AZ decreased systolic blood pressure to similar levels. Histological analysis revealed that both OM and AZ had decreased the size of the atrial myocytes and interstitial fibrosis in the atrium, and that the effects of OM were greater than those of AZ. These beneficial effects of OM were associated with less atrial oxidative stress, as assessed by 3-nitrotyrosine staining, and less activation of Rac1, a regulatory component in NADPH oxidase. These results suggest that the ARB was more effective than the CCB in ameliorating atrial structural remodeling due to the suppression of oxidative stress.

MK Signature mechanical eyeliner is absolutely the best. I'm a fair redhead, and have been using this eyeliner in Sable for several
years. Remarkable staying power. Can put on early in morning and wear until late night and it still looks freshly applied. Recently ran out and didn't reorder in time. Had to run to Walmart and bought at least four different liners-hated them all! Could not wait to get my MK liner!

I've been using MK Signature eyeliners for about 2 years now and love it! The eyeliners have great staying power and don't pull on your eyelid when you apply it. Sable (dark brown) is great for everyday wear. I used charcoal or violet when I go out at night.

Does NOT smear onto upper lid/crease area. This e/l will stay put. No need to go over it with powder, or powder eye shadow. If you want an e/l that will simply stay put, buy this.

I love these liners!!! They have the best durability and they never irritate my eyes. I just got Sable & Slate and when I put sable on yest.at 7:00 a.m. I still had my liner at 9:00 at night with hardly any smudging. They glide on great and IMO are much better then Dior, Lancome, Quickliner(even tho that is still one of the very best!)& other dept. store brands. Will repurchase again along with MK eyeshadows; the MK skin products irritate me too much.

I usually wear bronze, which is a great, natural color. Gives just a little bit of gold shimmer but doesn't look gaudy, just not flat. I also have steely but my eyes are so dark brown that they almost look black and the combo is a little to harsh unless I'm going to a club. Just bought Indigo on a whim and LOVE it! It's not too blue and gives just enough contract to brighten up my face. Blue sounds frightening but I'd recommend anyone looking for a change to give this color a shot. I've done the plums and greens before too, just never blue. Right now it's my everyday color!

hi all, my kiddo is 6 month old. Diagnosed with reflux (archy back, fussy eater, fussy after feedings - but does not spit up)
I feed him pumped breastmilk free of cows milk, soy, wheat, corn, eggs and nuts. Anyhow, my son was recently seen by GI Dr. Dr. prescribed a reflux med and a stomach empyting drug (with no testing - i don't want to give med to my baby w/o testing).
Anyhow, today i witnessed my kiddo reflux/throw up his entire 5 ounces of milk. Baby threw up bottle with dad last week Milk just flew out of his mouth like a broken faucet. I cried. I nursed him a bit afterward and he fell asleep. I called his Pedi still waiting on a call back.
Side note - i fed him rice cereal and pears from a bowl this am together for the FIRST time today. In the back of my head i'm not sure he tolerates rice cereal very well. I'm not sure if he's tolerated solid food very well. mother's instinct
My question is what's the next step after a child throws up an entire bottle? I am concerned about dehydation. What test should i start demanding from pedi and GI dr. Is throwing up entire bottle just part of reflux ? Does baby needs meds to keep milk down?
When a baby throws up , how long do you wait until attempting to feed again?
Finally, though i know that breast milk is best i'm considering trying baby on neocate or elecare - just in case he's not tolerating my breast milk
sincerely, an emotional mess mom :(

Federer, Nadal advance to semis in Australia
|Roger Federer of Switzerland waves after defeating Andy Murray of Britain in their quarterfinal at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila)
MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer rekindled his dominance over Andy Murray in Grand Slam matches and advanced to his 11th consecutive Australian Open semifinal with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3 win Wednesday.
Federer clinched it on his third match point with an ace to set up a showdown with top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who beat Grigor Dimitrov 3-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (7), 6-2.
Two of the leading contenders on the men's side survived on a day when two-time defending champion Victoria Azarenka was beaten 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 by Agnieszka Radwanska in the women's quarterfinals.
Still, Nadal and Federer certainly had nervous moments.
Murray, who saved two match points in the third-set tiebreaker, has an 11-10 edge over Federer in head-to-head matches and won their last match in five sets in the Australian Open semifinals last year, but Federer has won four of five matches in majors.
The Wimbledon champion got angry after a ruling while dropping serve late in the third set when he indicated that he thought the ball had bounced twice before Federer kept it in play.
Rightly or wrongly, it seemed to spark his resurgence, breaking Federer when the 17-time major winner was serving for the match, and then pushing it to a fourth when he won six of the last seven points in the tiebreaker. Federer thought the point was OK, saying it was the umpire's call.
After spending three months off the circuit following minor back surgery, Murray appeared to be in discomfort at times in the match, clutching at his lower back.
"I was proud of the way I fought," Murray said. "That's the highest level I've played at in a long time. My serve slowed down a bit in the fourth set, especially the first couple points when I was getting up after the change of ends."
After Federer won the opening game of the fourth set, the two played a 10-deuce game in which Murray saved six break points before Murray leveled. But Federer broke Murray in the eighth game then held serve to win in 3 hours, 20 minutes.
"I'm back," Federer said. "It was a great game on many levels, not just physically ... but mentally, also."
In the earlier match on Rod Laver Arena, Nadal received treatment several times for a nasty-looking blister on the palm of his left hand that he said caused him to serve slower than usual. He fended off three set points in the third, including two in the tiebreaker, and won on his first set point.
He went up 2-0 in the fourth when he hit a passing backhand down the line on break point with Dimitrov standing at the net. At the end, Dimitrov appeared to wipe tears from his eyes with a towel as he walked off Rod Laver Arena.
Nadal acknowledged that Dimitrov let him off the hook with a wide forehand on set point in the third-set tiebreaker.
"It's a tough moment mentally for an opponent," Nadal said. "If that forehand from him goes in and he wins the third, I'm going to be fighting."
Dimitrov said: "I'm a bit shattered. I came out expecting nothing less than to win."
Azarenka's loss meant both defending champions went out in the quarterfinals — Novak Djokovic lost to Stan Wawrinka on Tuesday, ending his bid for a fourth consecutive men's title. Azarenka had been aiming for three in a row and other women's title contenders Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova didn't even reach the quarterfinals.
Azarenka's defeat left 2011 French Open champion Li Na as the only major winner in contention. Li, a two-time Australian Open finalist, next plays 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard. In the other semifinal, Radwanska takes on No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova, who routed No. 11-seeded Simona Halep 6-3, 6-0.
Radwanska mixed up her game cleverly to keep Azarenka off balance, and never let her settle into the game.
"She was aggressive. She was making everything. She was guessing right," Azarenka said. "I was just playing a little bit too predictably."
Warwinka plays Tomas Berdych in the first men's semifinal Thursday, with Federer and Nadal set to play Friday night.
"We've had some epics over the years," Federer said of the semifinal. "I hope we can slug it out here in a couple of days."

Remembering the Revel
April 13, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
Our Spring Revel was last Tuesday, and it was, as Gay Talese put it simply, "a real party," a party for the ages. About five hundred of us gathered at Cipriani 42nd Street to honor Norman Rush with the Hadada Award, presented by James Wood, who recited one of my favorite jokes from Subtle Bodies: "Pinot noir meant don't urinate at night."
Hilary Mantel took the stage to award Atticus Lish the Plimpton Prize for Fiction; "I am extremely fortunate to receive this award," Lish said, "as is anyone who receives recognition in any field. Few people get much of a gold star no matter what they do in life."
Mark Leyner received the Terry Southern Prize for Humor—which he has publicly promised to hang above his bed, like a mobile—from Donald Antrim. Never in recorded history have the words Sugar-frosted nutsack been uttered before so large and so gracious a crowd. Last, The Paris Review bade a fond farewell to our longtime publisher, Antonio Weiss, who has absconded to Washington to serve as the counselor to the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury. Our loss is the nation's gain.
It was a spectacular evening, as the photos below attest. You can read accounts of the fun from Womens Wear Daily, New York Social Diary, and Page Six—and you can see even more photos of the revelry here. Happy spring, and see you next year!

Relive the Revel
April 11, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
We're still recovering from Tuesday's Revel, where some five hundred people gathered to honor Frederick Seidel with the Hadada Award, presented by John Jeremiah Sullivan. Lydia Davis presented Emma Cline with the Plimpton Prize for Fiction; Roz Chast presented the Terry Southern Prize for Humor to Ben Lerner; and Martin Amis, Zadie Smith, and Uma Thurman all read from Seidel's work. We could say a good time was had by all, but why not let the pictures tell the tale? It was a spectacular evening. You can read accounts of the fun from Page Six, Women's Wear Daily, and Guest of a Guest. Be sure to take a look at all the photos here, too. See you next year!

Last Chance for Tickets to the Revel!
April 8, 2011 | by Thessaly La Force
On Tuesday, The Paris Review will be hosting its Spring Revel, a fund-raiser held each year at Cipriani's 42nd Street. As readers of The Daily may already know, Robert Redford will be presenting James Salter with The Paris Review Hadada; Fran Lebowitz will be awarding Elif Batuman the Terry Southern Humor Prize for her piece in The Daily called "My 12-Hour Blind Date with Dostoevsky"; and Ann Beattie will be giving April Ayers Lawson the Plimpton Prize for her short story "Virgin." It's a very fun affair. To quote Mary Karr: the Revel is "prom for New York intellectuals."
We are excited for those of you who are already coming. A few tickets are left, and it goes without saying that they are available for purchase to all of our readers.

Using Continuous Quality Improvement Methods to Evaluate Library Service Points
Stein, Merrill, Edge, Teresa, Kelley, John M., Hewlett, Dane, Trainer, James F., Reference & User Services Quarterly
This article describes a multiple-methods approach to examining and enhancing the quality of walk-in service points at a major university library. Selected methods included focus groups, benchmarking, surveys, transaction analysis, activity mapping, and secret shoppers. The results of the study generated many recommended enhancements, including the consolidation of service desks
At Villanova University, two forces converged to initiate this continuous quality improvement project at Falvey Memorial Library. The first of these factors was an ongoing interest on the part of the library staff in maximizing services to patrons, both through technology and personal points of contact. The second was Villanova's continuous quality improvement program, a well-established initiative introduced in 1993 and long spearheaded by the Office of Planning, Training, and Institutional Research (OPTIR). In recent years, several studies have been completed by and for the library dealing with the physical footprint of the library as well as the responsiveness of staff to the needs of their various patrons--students, faculty, staff, alumni, members of the surrounding community, and outside scholars. The present study located precisely the various points of patron service and delved deeper into their functions.
Villanova University, a Roman Catholic institution based on the teachings of St. Augustine, is located in a pleasant suburban setting just twelve miles outside of Philadelphia. It is home to more than ten thousand students and more than five hundred faculty members. The university consists of four main colleges (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Villanova School of Business, College of Engineering, and College of Nursing) and a School of Law. Falvey Library has a staff of about sixty-five, including twenty librarians. The library offers patrons a place for social networking and studious collaboration with wireless network access, a twenty-four hour study lounge and coffee shop, group study rooms, laptop loans, and a rich complement of electronic and digital library resources in a medium-sized academic library environment.
A unique aspect of the Villanova Quality Improvement (VQI) model is its emphasis not only on the application of time-tested work process improvement tools, but on the integration of its efforts with the mission of the university. At Villanova, there are currently more than twenty-five VQI teams involving more than two hundred colleagues from practically all of the offices of the university Some have a special university-wide goal such as the Incentives and Recognition Team or the Environmental Team, but the vast majority of teams are located within departments with the tri-fold charge of work process improvement, building community, and offering community service. VQI is coordinated by OPTIR. OPTIR staff are experienced in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, and three have been certified in Lean Six Sigma, a popular system for indentifying and reducing waste and increasing the effectiveness of work functions.
In an effort to seek its own answer to "library as place" or, as Davenport advocates, "in a networked world ... place as library," Falvey seeks to steer a path beyond access versus ownership issues to provide a comfortable and collaborative base from which patrons can share ideas, conduct research, and receive assistance and instruction from within the library, within the colleges, and at a distance. (1) Reference and instruction services are becoming academic integration services with liaison information literacy teams; programming of library events has a programming coordinator; technical services is now resource(s) management; "access" means access to a host of services besides checking out and reserving books; and there is a growing need for even more skilled budget management and data-driven assessment coordination past standard monthly statistics. …

Just thought I would let you know that this is the superior of the two by far. The effect of the glass is realistic and it looks better over all. The only thing I would have done differently would be taking away some of the highlighting on the face. IMO it is just a little too bright. Not really a flaw of any kind just something I would have done differently.
very unique, interesting and beautiful portfolio work I'm pleased that you like my stuff Thank you for stopping by.
Absolutely gorgeous work. Wonderful concept as well.
Strong visual image of with the fish and aquatic plant life; its a comparison of the bodies system of organs with a a small ecosystem; that's pretty cool
well the only thing I can critique about is the fish and sea weed need more details for the realizim but that only takes time, and I think that your efforts would be better spent in doing new works. the vision of this piece has been portrade quite effectivly. beautiful concept and water fisk tank effect. simply (although nothing about your work I find simple) stunning, as always
i definitely like her arm better this way. i didn't see that she was clear until you pointed it out. it could be just the way I was looking at it. have you tried a lighter background? i don't know what color, creamy light color, to emphasize the inside of the back of her and it might help give more of a contrast. but definitely something with color since the gal is so pale. the black just seems to detract to me - i really have to concentrate to see it correctly. again...it's probably just me...you definitley have the shading down though and it's a wonderful idea! very imaginative!
thank you for the wonderfully detailed comment will work on the background some more at a later time.
It's great, but the wrinkles across her torso make it look (to me) more like an image painted on fabric. Is there any way to make it look a little more reflective, or smoother?
The girl looks awesome, though.
The girl looks awesome, though.
very attractive.

Perfection at it's finest.... amazing work!
that totally works! love it!
(i like how her eyes match, too)
(i like how her eyes match, too)
I like it. I think it's an improvment over the last. The position of the arm/hand is better.
That's fabulous, I love the way she is standing, and I especially love the design on her...clothing? Yeah. Definately -ing it. Awesome job.
its not supposed to be a design but that her midriff is actually glass filled with water
you did everything right. all the way. well done !
oooh cool the arm definitely works like that
Gorgeous work!

Could you make a Rhaegar Targaryen wallpaper? I ask because he's my favorite character and I think it'd be aswesome to see him like this.
Bro I can tell that you love the Starks from all these wallpapers. I know you don't have to, but can you really make a Rhaegar Targaryen Wallpaper and the Targaryen Sigil? That would be amazing.

Our either-or cultural template has come to an unattractive head during the recent Gay Moment, as these days are being dubbed.
Of course we've already named it. We can't just let an epic or a decade or a moment slip by without a title. A label. A category.
Labeling, in fact, is one of our favorite things in compulsive, either/or America. As in, you're either for us or against us. You're either from Mars or from Venus. You're either pro-gay marriage - or you're a right-wing, fascist, dogmatic homophobe.
Well, no, not really. Sometimes you're not a homophobe, but you may not be a homophile either. Sometimes you're not from Mars or from Venus. Sometimes you're from Earth, and, boy, is it lonely down here.
And, boy, things sure do change fast, as Dorothy once remarked to Toto. Notice how easily Oz slips into conversation these days?
In a matter of weeks - mere nanoseconds if you're a millennium gazer - we've passed from decriminalizing sodomy to ratifying a gay Episcopal bishop to seriously pondering homosexual marriage. Heterosexual marriage isn't doing so well, after all, so what's the big deal?
Frank Rich of The New York Times wrote as much Sunday, citing with barely concealed hostility all things wrong with heterosexual unions - from Ben Franklin's common-law marriage to Tracy 'n' Hepburn's illicit affair to the new movie "American Wedding," featuring a marriage proposal with dropped trousers and a wedding cake adorned with pubic hair.
I'd say that settles it. Let the homosexual weddings begin!
Or not. In any case, dredging up the most extreme failings and ludicrous fictional permutations of a long-honored institution may not be the best argument for indictment. If perfection is our standard, we may as well dismantle all our laws and institutions. We could start with traffic lights. Given the number of people who run them, why not eliminate them altogether?
The either/or notion, meanwhile, so polarizes rational discussion that Americans are cowed into obedient silence. I'm familiar with the inclination, having been on the receiving end of various fatwas for criticizing individuals who identify with a disenfranchised group. That would include nearly everyone except white heterosexual males, about which one can say anything with impunity.
If you criticize a person who happens to be black, for example, you're automatically a "racist." A black columnist once told me he wanted to write about the difficulties facing adolescent white boys but felt it might be taken the wrong way. Too bad. I wanted to read it.

The keeper of my pack!
My Jack is the self appointed keeper of my pack. I mean, I asked him to do so, but never trained him to do it!
Nonetheless, the weather was crazy nice today, so I took a chance. Kept a watchful eye on my kitten, who has never been allowed out of doors... But, I am only human, and lost track after a couple hours. Well, the kitten apparently jumped the fence, but was only barely outside it when Jack barked an alert and came back inside the kitchen to make sure I knew something needed my attention, stat! Good dog!!!
And then, a couple hours later, I let both dogs ride along to the local store. The girls who work there adore Jack, but had never met my Weimaraner. So both dogs got lots of cookies and we loaded up and headed home. And about a block from the house, I did what I always do with Jack, I opened the truck door and let him race me home. But this time, I also let the Weim out to race, as well. I've owned her forever, and have no doubt she will follow me home. But I worried a little!
Jack (my GSD always beats me home!) was business as usual, I pulled in, and Jack was wagging and waiting, lol! But no Lillian. I gave Jack the hand signal for "Find it!" Said "Lillian!" My heart raced when he looked at me twice, then ran straight away! across the street... But calmed so easily when he led her running into the garage.... In under a minute!! Good boy, Jack! Best. Dog. Ever.

Fog is added in post,maybe i will re-render again with higher antialiasing and Vue native fog.
Very well done reminds me of mountains and landscapes in southern China...
I like the landscape very much, but the mist you posted gives a kind of glow around and on the stones. I think you should indeed re-render with Vue mist and that way probably remove the glow effect.
Yes actualy i dont like to work in post because if i over-react with filters and settings whole image can go in wrong direction..This often happens to me in photoshop,because it is very powerful tool.Also it is important what artist wanted to create,is it artistic image,or photorealistic or something third.For that reason i will post in future few versions of same image,so that peoples can decide which version is best...
excellent render!
Looks awesome!
This is a gorgeous piece!

It's a running joke among my gals pals that a guy with a guitar causes strange things to happen to our friend Ann's clothes
Her shirts turn to helium and her pants turn to lead. That is, when she a guy she's interested busts out the six-string, her tops magically fly off and her bottoms hit the floor. The sexy combination of a guy and a guitar is a sure fire way to get her in the mood. Another friend loses it if a guy speaks a foreign language to her. As for me, a back rub from my boyfriend usually does the trick.
What about you? Are there any guaranteed ways to turn you on? Maybe a guy cooking you a meal? Touching your leg just so? A guy with tattoos? Are these mood makers specific to your boyfriend or are there broader things (guys with guitars or accents) that always get you hot and bothered?

Ciara Leeming, Digital Film Making Course (March 2013)

'Before Midnight' strikes new path in couple's journey
NEW YORK — "Before Midnight," Richard Linklater's third film about the relationship between an American man (Ethan Hawke) and French woman (Julie Delpy), closes with what might be the series' piece de resistance: a 30-minute hotel-room argument between the couple. Brutal and witty, the power dynamic shifts back and forth between the pair, as one grabs the upper hand and the other snatches it back.

Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen. An image of the surface is obtained by mechanically moving the probe in a raster scan of the specimen, line by line, and recording the probe-surface interaction as a function of position.

The dynamic response in a translucent tissue-mimicking phantom resulting from an acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) was investigated with optically-based methods. Embedded microspheres (10-¿m diameter) were tracked axially and laterally with an optical microscope; 0.5-¿m displacement resolution was achieved in both dimensions with frame rates of up to 36 kHz. Tracking was achieved before, during, and after the ARFI excitation at depths of up to 4.8 mm from the phantom's nearest material boundary. Both on- and off-axis (i.e., shear wave) results are presented; these results are then corroborated with matched finite element method (FEM) modeling results. This optically-based tracking method provides high-frame-rate, 2D tracking data, and thus it could prove fruitful in the future investigation of complex ARFI-induced dynamics in experimental settings.

Creamy Rhubarb Crepes Recipe
Fixing rhubarb this way brings a spring "zing" to the table. I adapted this crepe recipe, which originally featured strawberry jelly, from one I loved as a child. My husband declared it a "winner". He even came up with its name.
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Additional butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups thinly sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- Confectioners' sugar
- 1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar and salt. Beat in flour until smooth; let stand for 30 minutes.
- 2. Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in an 8-in. nonstick skillet. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center of skillet; lift and turn pan to cover bottom. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Remove to a wire rack; cover with paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed.
- 3. Meanwhile, for sauce, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a saucepan. Stir in rhubarb. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened and rhubarb is tender. Remove from the heat; cool slightly.
- 4. For filling, in a bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the rhubarb sauce until smooth and creamy. Place a rounded tablespoonful on each crepe; fold in half and in half again, forming a triangle. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with remaining sauce. Yield: 10 crepes.

Child injured in collision in Grove
Matt Oliver, Local government reporter. Call me on 01865 425498 / / News
A CHILD has been involved in a collision in Grove.
A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said officers were called at 8.49am after being told a boy, believed to be aged 11, was in collision with a blue Corsa and sustained a leg injury.
It is not believed to be a serious, but the child has been taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital.
The incident has closed Main Street, Grove, and traffic in the area has slowed as a result.

Design for the Other 90%
According to the press release for this show, 90 percent of the world's population, or 5.8 billion people, have no access (or sparse access) to products and services we take for granted. And while internet service and hearing-aid batteries are among the luxuries included in this list, the lack of life staples such as clean water, prosthetic legs, and containers to preserve crops are probably the most harrowing need. Though supply and monetary problems persist around the world, there are individuals, organizations, and companies using innovative ideas to aid in upping the quality of life in poor and struggling regions of the world. "Design for the Other 90%," hosted in the Sculpture Garden this summer, will showcase some of these products. As people might anticipate, many ideas revolve around water, including a filtration system that can be worn as a necklace for on-the-go consumption, and wheels that can be filled with water and easily transported from village to village. Other products strive to bring easy access to technology and information, including a web-enabled $100 laptop to be used by children in the classroom and at home (some of the price is kept down by eschewing software like Microsoft Windows and Word in favor of free software, including Linux), and a solar-powered microfilm projector and library. Products on display here will certainly make you reconsider the meaning of necessity.
