In a survey of 425 cases of hyperuricemia with gouty arthritis or uric acid stone, or both, we found partial deficiency of H-G PRTase, a newly recognized cause of these manifestations, in only 7 subjects, of whom 5 were members of one family. The prevalence in this series was thus 1.6%, which is probably higher than in the gouty population at large because this study included a disproportionately large number of severely afflicted patients. Transmission was through heterozygous, asymptomatic mothers and was expressed only in sons, consistent with X-linkage. Six of the seven hemizygotes detected conformed to previous reports in having very low erythrocyte H-G PRTase activity (about 0.1% to 1% of normal) and increased urinary hypoxanthine to xanthine ratios, usually with relatively early onset of severe symptoms. In the seventh case erythrocyte H-G PRTase activity was about 30% of normal, with an accompanying increase in the urinary hypoxanthine to xanthine ratio. This patient had late onset of moderately severe recurrent gouty arthritis.

'I was sitting in a café in Hanoi watching the world go by,' chef Luke Nguyen explains as he pours a cup of caramel-coloured Vietnamese coffee. 'There were people exercising: doing Tai Chai, playing badminton and kicking around a bamboo shuttlecock. And next to me on these little stools were a pair of old men with long, silver beards. They were wearing scarves and berets--and, to my surprise, were speaking fluent French. I thought "wow, this is a great experience" and I wanted to speak to them and find out what life was like in the days of the late 1800s to 1954 during the French occupation.'
- Chef Luke Nguyen talking about his experiences at Luke Nguyen's France masterclass in Sydney
Meeting these two old gentlemen in Hanoi would mark the beginning of a new gastronomic adventure for Luke, who says he had never really delved deeply into the history of the French influence on Vietnam before.
'I knew nothing about that time. So I asked them, what was the food like? What were your parents eating before the French came? Were there things like baguettes, pho, pork rolls and crisp rice flour crêpes? As I listened to them, I realised that a lot of the dishes we think are Vietnamese are actually French-inspired. Is pho really French? It can't be! I knew I had to look into this. So, I contacted a lot of people in their nineties and even older. The more I talked with people who lived through this era, the more I learned about how the French influenced what the Vietnamese cook and eat today, and how the French presence is felt in daily life'.
Through their tales, the gentlemen explained to him that the French brought with them a lot of 'fantastic things' that integrated into the Vietnamese culture and cuisine. The iconic Vietnamese pho, for example, seems to have originated from the French pot-au-feu. Luke explains that the stock for both is made using beef marrow bones, sweet vegetables and meat or poultry. The addition of rice noodles, bean sprouts and herbs (such as mint and basil) are the distinctly Vietnamese additions.
As he pours champagne into elegant flutes, Luke tells us that he has cousins, uncles and aunties all through France. He says he just wanted to cook and eat with them, do double-kisses, and just hang out [as you do]. 'I wanted to see what they were cooking, and also see what the French are cooking,' he explained. 'To search for the pot-au-feu that they tell me pho comes from. To search for the crêpe that was the origin of bank xeo.' Luke said his expedition started in Paris, where his cousins have opened a restaurant called Bistro Indochine. 'My cousins all have French names, and their Vietnamese isn't great, but their French is perfect! We were communicating in broken Vietnamese, a bit of French on my side and a touch of English,' he laughed.
He explained that he cooked twenty phos and then tried his hand at a very rustic pot-au-feu. 'It was very much like cooking pho. The basic ingredients were ox tail, shin bones, roasted vegetables, cloves, garlic. I put it all together and found that the flavours were quite similar. Of course pho has more spices, with the star anise, the ginger, the lemongrass. But they were basically the same. The more I discovered French cuisine, the more I realised the connections between Vietnamese and French food. The journey was a learning curve for me as a cook and I learned many new cooking techniques as well. But most importantly I demystified the question: Did the French influence Vietnamese food?' The answer, he says, is 'yes, in a huge way'.
The masterclass...
Sardine farcie (stuffed sardines)...
(Sardine farcie)
Various recipes for stuffed sardines can be found along the stretch of Ligurian Sea coast between France and Italy. Use very fresh sardines for the fullest flavour.
Cuisine: French
Makes: 6
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Level of difficulty: easy
2 cups cooked Jasmine rice
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 French shallot, chopped
2 tbsp roasted crushed almonds
¼ cup chopped coriander, plus extra to garnish
½ lime, rind grated, plus 1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve
1 red chilli, sliced, plus extra to garnish
pinch of salt and pepper
140 g (2 cups) breadcrumbs
3 eggs, separated
6 sardines, boned and butterflied
125 ml (½ cup) olive oil
2 handfuls of rocket
Combine rice, garlic, shallot, almonds, coriander, lime rind, chilli, salt, pepper, 2 tbsp breadcrumbs and egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Using your hands, stir to combine until ingredients stick together. On a flat plate, combine remaining breadcrumbs and coriander.
Gently squeeze 1 tbsp stuffing in your hand to firmly combine ingredients, making a tight sausage shape. Place stuffing on the inside of a sardine, then flatten so it sticks to the sardine. Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl and whisk for 1 minute to thin out slightly. Dip sardines in egg white, then coat with the breadcrumbs and set aside. Repeat process with the remaining sardines and stuffing.
Heat ⅓ cup olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook 2 sardines at a time, belly side down, for 2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towel. Meanwhile, place rocket in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and season. Place sardines on a serving platter with rocket leaves, extra chilli and coriander, and a wedge of lime.

'It's good fun to cook while you're sitting down...'
Initially I wasn't keen to taste this as the thought of raw egg (at that time of the morning) didn't particularly appeal, but I must tell you it was absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be making this at home for Peter. I'm sure many of you would love to try it too. You'll find the full recipe on the SBS Food site here.
A conversation with the chef...
Luke, thank you for inviting me to attend the masterclass, it was such an honour and pleasure. The series is beautiful, stylish and colourful, and also down to earth, as always. Congratulations!
Thank you, Liz. I'm really glad you like it and thank you for your time today.
I'm interested in the rooftop bees in Paris and the honey they produce. Those bees are so fat and furry and healthy.
The honey tastes amazing! There are parks everywhere and plenty of vegetation. It was fascinating how you taste different honey from bees from different areas and taste the difference. And it's interesting because if the hives are on the rooftop of a hotel, the honey is only for the hotel, for instance, it's served to the hotel guests for breakfast.
The correlation between pot-au-feu and pho is fascinating.
Yes, it is. I had heard about it but I wasn't sure. Of course you can research recipes and history online but I wanted to go there and just talk with the people and learn more.
So you think that it definitely explains the origin of pho?
Absolutely! For sure. You see it in the making the broth for pot-au-feu. Making the meat tender, and tasting the sweetness of the bone and the marrow, the oxtail, the vegetables, the cloves and the onions and all that. And then you have the Vietnamese version, which is exactly like that but with more spices. And at that point where it finishes, the French add Dijon mustard, cornichons and baguette. Whereas the Vietnamese serve it with rice noodles, bean sprout, basil, chilli and so on. And so that's where it evolves. The beginning, however, is the same.
[I explain to Luke that the broth for pot-au-feu and pho is not dissimilar to the way my Hungarian mother taught me to make veal broth with vegetables. We agree that it's important to have a very clean and clear broth.]
Tell me in your opinion, Luke, what makes a good Vietnamese pho
Definitely the clarity of the broth. It should be clear. I needs to be really aromatic without looking like there's a whole heap of spices and herbs in there. It also needs to be really well balanced. The fish sauce, the sea salt (if you want to put that in), and the amount of rock sugar you put in there. The noodles have to be silky and fresh.
Tell me about the Parisian market that you visited. It was established in 1615?
It was amazing! What I loved about that market, and what I really enjoyed about France (and especially Paris), is how diverse it was in culture and cuisine. I wanted to look into that further. There's the Latin quarter, there's the area where there's African food and African butchers, they had Lebanese food there, as well as Italian and Japanese. And then you have the Vietnamese influence as well. So that market was great. It is such an old market and of course it has great produce there. But I really loved the little hole-in-the-wall places that would serve cooked food. So you go to this old market and you are just exposed to all this wonderful food. And that's what France is. It's as culturally-diverse as we are in Australia.
And the produce must be soooooo fresh?!
Yes, the best berries I have ever tried were in France.
A three-course soufflé meal, wow, tell me about it.
Actually you can have more than three courses if you want to, but three courses of soufflé was enough for me. They are really light and fluffy and airy. Not rich or heavy at all. It was quite fascinating to try soufflé like that.
And now that you are back at home, are you planning to add soufflé to the menu at Red Lantern?
Yes, I plan to put a lot of those dishes onto the menu. We held an event last week where I just cooked a lot of the dishes from the show. We worked on the dishes to make them more restaurant-friendly, and our guests just loved them!
Is there a difference in the ingredients and the baking technique between the French and the Vietnamese baguette?
There is a difference. It is that the Vietnamese baguettes are a lot lighter, there are more air pockets and they are a lot flakier. And because they are designed to hold lots of filling, they are not dense and chewy. Our baguettes are designed for pâté, mayonnaise, pork balls, pork fat, Vietnamese pickles and lots of ingredients. The bread is the accompaniment and everything has to work together. Whereas, with the French baguette, they put their cold cuts or whatever and the baguette is the hero. I think the Vietnamese one is the other way around. French baguettes are also long and thin, whereas Vietnamese baguettes are bigger but shorter, and a lot, lot lighter.
And finally, what's next on the agenda for Luke Nguyen? Will there be a book accompanying Luke Nguyen's France television series?
Yes, I am working on a book now.
How do you find the time?
I don't know. [He laughs]. I do squeeze it in somehow. I like writing on a plane. Last time I was on a long haul flight I wrote about 15 recipes. I smash them out! There's nothing else to do. There are no phone calls or emails. So I can just focus. It's great.
Thank you Luke for hosting this masterclass and for taking the time to speak with me. It was a great experience and a pleasure to meet you. I love your work and also I'd like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to recreate some of your dishes in the past, too.
You have done it really well, Liz. Thank you, and thank you for your continued support. It was lovely to meet you.

Posts tagged:pocket square
With my dark complexion i should be very warm to the use of loud colors according to skin tone and color rule, but unfortunately i tend to stay from too much color simply because i find it too desperate, almost like a call for unneeded attention. I'll bet on being the last one in the room to root for an odd jacket in a loud color, but in my defense for this purple three button jacket from Zegna I humbly submit to my obsession with rusty hues of bright colors, i cant resist almost any color in linen with darling wrinkles as beautiful as these.
Pink and green. Outside my stubborn fixation on conservative colors, pairing these two have got to be favorite color combo. I love this combo so much there is not week that I don't pair these two; either via my shirt and tie or shirt and pocket square or in my extreme state shirt and socks.
My transition from street wear to my present sartorial wardrobe wasn't an easy one, and it all stemmed from my inability to speak through clothing without brand names hanging from every limb. Street wear is not a stroll in the park, instead of having an acquired taste for the knowledge of fabric and pattern choice, knowing the newest brand simply got you the crown most times with street wear. The fact this rule did not play out in sporting a suit truly exhausted me with getting it right. In the world of suiting nothing plays a more vital role than choice. The Choice of fabric, color and fit; learning how important these three little birds were made all the difference in my wardrobe, especially when it boiled down to the ART of employing a shirt, tie and a suit with perfect Harmony . With time I understood why sporting a suit required every thread of the wearer's personality, apart from it being the cornerstone of the ensemble itself, one's personality echoed in every single item, be it the way a gentleman knots a tie or the careless way his pocket square peaks out of his breast pocket. Paying an arm and a leg for a bespoke suit and not being able to walk around with a tag suggesting my well deserved expense bothered me at first, it totally killed the joy of dressing up for me, prancing around with new clothes on in utter silence( who does that?). With time patience found me, and as the desperate need to flaunt my status through clothing left me and a new wave of appreciation filled the void. Soon enough i realized how close the art of suiting is to finding one's self. Wearing a suit puts you in a box, one that does not keep you from who you are but gradually teaches you to become a better you. If you are bold one a suit will channel that trait with enough elegance. (Photo courtesy of the Armoury)
Notch Lapel seersucker jacket by Hackett, Shirt by TM Lewin, Gray pants by Jack Reid, Vintage Suspenders and Tassel loafers by Johnston & Murphy
I finally found another way to wear this beautiful two button single breasted jacket from Fiovarante. For weeks I have been I pairing them with the same pale blue shirt and navy pants until this magical injection of gray happened by accident. I am constantly in search of new ways to inject blues and browns in my wardrobe, and by far this here is my favorite. I love the light hues of blue and gray, juxtaposed against this beautiful brown rust jacket this ensemble has won my Wednesday spot ( yes I put together outfits by day and moods, feel free to try it, it makes putting together ensembles for work so easy)

It was never going to be easy, but it's just been made particularly hard for Mo Farah as he prepares for his marathon debut in London.
A super-elite field has been announced this week with the world's best marathon runners all queuing up to take on the British Olympic star over the distance on April 13.
Farah is aiming to become the first British man to win the race since Eamonn Martin 21 years ago and, for all that he has already achieved in his illustrious career, this represents somewhat of a career crossroads.
It will not be until after the marathon that Farah and his camp begin to make a firm decision on his targets and goals for the remainder of the year, and the race could well dictate the direction of his career from this point onwards.
As has been admitted by the double Olympic champion, so far there are no definite plans regarding competing on the track at either the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow or the European Championships in Zurich later this year. A great deal is going to be on the line.
His ambition of translating his dominance over 5,000 and 10,000m to the significantly longer distance of 26.2 miles is admirable, but is it attainable against such seasoned specialists?
To invest so much time and training in adapting to a very different event is always going to be a big risk, but under the tutelage of three-time New York Marathon champion Alberto Salazar he is going about his work in the right way.
Farah completed half last year's London Marathon as a training run but taking on such a high-quality field this time around will be an entirely different proposition. He gained valuable experience last April, but this time the intense pressure and the expectation will engulf him.
Lofty ambitions always come naturally to the great athletes, and Farah is probably the greatest Britain has ever produced. But to move serenely to tackling the marathon distance against the world's best is a challenge that is hard to overstate.
Even eclipsing the British record of 2:07.13, set by Steve Jones 29 years ago in Chicago, will not come close to challenging the world's best if they are at the top of their game.
Six runners in the field announced for the London Marathon have gone under 2:05. Emmanuel Mutai will be present - the Kenyan star who set the course record of 2:04:40 three years ago.
Also in the field are Geoffrey Mutai, who has run the fastest - albeit not officially recognised - marathon in history, Wilson Kipsang, the world record-holder, and Stephen Kiprotich, the Olympic and world champion from Uganda. Oh, and Ibrahim Jeilan, the Ethiopian who beat Farah to gold in the 10,000m at the World Championships in Daegu in 2011, and last year's winner, compatriot Tsegaye Kebede.
As Hugh Brasher, the London Marathon race director, said: "Much attention in Britain will focus on the performance of Mo Farah and we are very pleased that he has chosen London to make his marathon debut.
"But it will be an extremely tough challenge for Mo with the quality of the elite field as high as ever." Again, that's an understatement.
Farah has admitted that competing for glory at the London Marathon was a boyhood dream and it would represent a quite stunning career development for the athlete.
"I am expecting it to be one of my toughest races and a real learning experience," the 30-year-old said. "I gained a lot of valuable experience running part of the course alongside the top guys last year and can't wait to race over the full distance this April.
"The London Marathon always attracts the world's best runners to its elite fields and this year will be no different. I had another great year on the track in 2013, but the marathon is my main focus for this year.
"As a young boy growing up in London it was always my ambition to run the London Marathon, and to be able to make my marathon debut in my home town is very special."
As for his plans until April, Farah is to continue his intensive training in Portland, Oregon before embarking upon a period of high-altitude work in Kenya later this month.
He may end up having endured a chastening experience in what is his first competitive marathon, but the risks are surely far outweighed by the potential of confirming his status as arguably the best all-round athlete in the world.

Thursday's Cypress Hill show, with guest Action Bronson, represents an extending of the olive branch, hip-hop style. For as long as the music itself has existed, so, too, has the rivalry between its purveyors on opposing coasts.
On occasion, this rivalry has turned violent. More often, it's a battle of words, appropriately enough. But California's Cypress Hill � a veteran, fully tenured and uber creative hip-hop collective, and the first Latino rap outfit to go platinum � is joining hands with underground New York City rapper Action Bronson for a tag-team tour that jumps generations and straddles coasts.
Doors open at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Town Ballroom (681 Main St.), with the music set to start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $28 advance (Tickets.com), $32 at the door. Visit www.cypresshill.com to watch a trailer advancing the tour.

The Amazon is famously the world's largest rainforest, and its biggest city is Manaus: simultaneously a florid, humid, beaux arts-ish monument to the golden age of the rubber barons and a thriving, modern free-trade zone energizing and rapidly modernizing Brazil's Amazonas state. Manaus' symbol is the vast, gold-gilded opera house, its economy is based on electronics and manufacturing, and the reason you're probably here is to see the Amazon.
There is no shortage of ways into the rainforest from this surprisingly modern city of glass skyscrapers and paved highways. Whether you fly into the international airport—Brazil's third busiest—or visit by bus or (more romantically) boat, you'll soon find ample accommodation and tour operators aplenty to take you into the deep Amazon.
The easiest way to explore the Amazon is on a day trip, with popular boat tours leaving for the "Meeting of the Waters" throughout the day, making the 9-km (5-mile) trip to where the black waters of the Negro River, and muddy brown Solimoes River, meet. They flow together side by side for several kilometers, a photogenic affect you'll enjoy along with quick trips to short hiking trails on the embankments. Other day tours explore different tributaries, lakes and beaches, perhaps by canoe.
There are also excellent day trips or overnights you can do by land. For instance, you could take a two-hour bus ride to Presidente Figueiredo, with several organized options for exploring the rainforest. Guides can take you on walks to any of half a dozen waterfalls, or the Cave of the Maroaga. Boat excursions can also be arranged.
If you really want to get a feel for the Amazon, however, it's well worth booking a trip to one of the many jungle lodges, or a multi-day tour where you'll stay in several spots as you explore the river. These trips usually include tours that could include visits to indigenous villages, hiking or horseback treks through the jungle, canoe excursions and more. They are almost always all-inclusive, as there's not much else around in the middle of the jungle.
Prices, amenities and activities vary widely, so shop around. Because the per person cost of multi-day trips usually depends on the number of guests (with costs dropping as the group size increases), travelers hoping to do a multi-day tour should ask several area operators if they've got any groups headed out that you could join.
Manaus is the easiest place to book basic transportation up and down the Amazon. These don't include any side trips, except for those you make yourself, and be sure to stake out a spot for hammock as early as possible. But for a truly Amazonian experience, it doesn't get any more authentic.
Keep in mind that some tour operators are out to scam clueless tourist; Manaus has long been a destination for would-be Amazon explorers unfamiliar with the scene. Booking with a reputable provider is essential and can save you from a disappointing (or disastrous) trip.

yes you are right. There is a willing labour force but no money to employ
them or to buy building materials. The problem, as always, is getting hold
of relatively small amounts of money to help projects get off the ground.
Most of the projects mentioned in this series of films cost less than
$2000. As it turns out Kokjar now has a water supply but there are many
other small projects that could be a great help to the village. $2000-
$5000 goes a long way in these communities.

Obviously there is a need for some, and I mean some, outside help. However,
they have a youth that need physical challenges and a water system that

The Best of Both Worlds
This is a guest post by Allison Rogers. Allison is a lawyer in private practice in Washington D.C. and volunteers actively with Autism Speaks in their housing policy initiative. She has a younger brother, Adam, who has autism.
For as long as I remember I would ask my Mom these questions. Is Adam going to live at home forever? No. Will he live with me when I am older? He will have a house of his own one day. When's that going to be? I don't know, sometime after he graduates high school. Who's he going to live with? Ideally Jeff and Joe, maybe a couple of other boys, and a support staff.
I will be completely honest and admit that I had no role in my brother's summer of 2010 move into a group home. Throughout the years, my Mom promised us, without exception, that Adam would have a home of his own one day. I think this was her way of protecting all of her children and not just the one who needs the most protection. She took on the responsibility, not only because she was in the best position as a mother to advocate on his behalf, but because she did not want to leave this huge responsibility of mapping my brother's future to her daughters. As the matriarch of the family she set the tone for familial relationships. Stacey and I, as sisters, must love and support Adam, but Shari, as the Mom, will make the big decisions.
Fast Forward to June 2010. I am locked in the basement of the law library studying for the bar exam, receiving texts from Mom. He's moved out. Are you ok? I feel weird. Do you need to talk? Ok.
We talked. I did my best to assure her it was a transition, transitions are always hard, and once she gets used to the new living situation both she and Adam would be better off. I tried to comfort her. I remember saying, "it's like when I went off to college; it's like when Stacey went off to college. It's a huge, but completely normal adjustment. And most importantly, he's FIVE MILES AWAY." And that's how, just for a moment, the roles switched and I became the protective one, but not of Adam, of my Mom.
August 2010 I made my first visit to Adam's home. The descriptions I heard that the house is huge; the house is beautiful; the house is individualized to your brother's and his housemates' needs were not inaccurate. The house is huge. The house is beautiful. The house is Adam. Adam lives with four other boys. Two of the boys, Jeff and Joe, Adam grew up with. They each have their own rooms, reflecting their personalities, and their bedroom doors are adorned with the first letter of their names. They have ample living and dining space, a back and front yard, a television and even a Wii.
I love Adam and his new independence. Of course, the house did not cure him. He's still Adam. He still has his moods and he will still have his nights where he stays up all night shouting to whoever will listen. He still repeats words, sometimes hundreds of times, and he will still rip his shirts and blankets for no apparent reason. Yet he is happy. He is happy with his house. He is happy with his friends. He is happy to come home to my parents' house and he is happy when we go to the house to visit him. I see pride when he shows me his room, points to the family pictures on his bedroom wall, shows me his Wii bowling skills and sets the dining room table.
I can honestly say Adam moving into a group home has given our family the best of both worlds. He has independence. My parents have their independence. Yet we are five miles and ten minutes away from family time.
Autism Cares Grant Appreciative Response
This is a response we received from a young man with Asperger's Syndrome who received an Autism Cares grant.
The Autism Cares Grant help me to establish some independence and get back on my feet. I've been struggling as I try and navigate life on the autism spectrum. For a while I was letting my struggles affect me in other areas of my life. I was taking all of the negative things in my life out on other people. The Autism Cares grant not only helped me pay my rent and give me a nice place to live for 4 months it is going to help me get other areas of my life up and going the way that they should be. I'm very excited and appreciative of the Autism Cares grant and know that it will be put to good use. This will allow me time to get on my feet and try and find a good job for me. I have Asperger's Syndrome and I really want to become as independent as I can and it's something I am working on doing. My parents were losing their house so I was going to be left without a place to stay. The Autism Cares grant helped me help my parents save their house so not only myself but my entire family could keep a roof over their head as well. I'm now able to pay my parents rent I owe them for 4 months thanks to the Autism Cares grant. Thank you to everyone at Autism Speaks.

Fixing Unemployment and Creating Jobs
America's unemployment rate has been too high for too long, with few signs of tangible improvement. DC was not spared from this rising tide of hardship. East of the Anacostia River in Wards 7 and 8, unemployment exceeds 25%. Without access to good jobs or quality workforce development programs, many residents rely on support from social service agencies and taxpayer-funded government programs.
Like so many other nonprofits with 'kitchen' in their name, we could just focus on feeding folks who are out of work. But we know hunger is a symptom of poverty and unemployment. That's why we train between 80 and 90 unemployed, at-risk men and women for jobs in the hospitality industry through our Culinary Job Training Program. We prepare them for the rigors of professional kitchen work while challenging them to identify and overcome the personal barriers to their success and self-sufficiency. For many years, we relied mainly on our many culinary partners to employ our graduates.
But when the recession paralyzed private and public sector hiring, we responded by launching new social enterprises and creating jobs ourselves. Of our 130 employees, fully half are graduates of our program, employed at living wages with quality benefits.
Since the recession of 2008, men and women completing our program boast a 90% job placement rate, within and beyond our organization. We thus go beyond resume help and career counseling to help individuals develop marketable skills, find good jobs, maintain employment, and replace the cycle of poverty with productive citizenship.

First settled in 1666, Hyannis, Massachusetts is the largest of seven villages in the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. It is the commercial and transportation hub of Cape Cod and was designated an urban area as a result of the 1990 census. Because of this, many refer to Hyannis as the "Capital of the Cape".
It contains the Barnstable town offices and two important shopping districts, the historic downtown Main Street and the Rt 132 commercial district, including Cape Cod Mall and Cape Cod Potato Chips. Hyannis, the "Home port of Cape Cod," boasts the area's largest concentration of businesses, shops, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment spots. In the Main Street and Waterfront District you'll find Hyannis Harbor, the Village Green, the JFK Hyannis Museum, the JFK Memorial Park, and much more. President-elect Kennedy gave his acceptance of the 1960 election returns on November 9, 1960 at Hyannis Armory (See Videos Below). The JFK Hyannis Museum in the old Town Hall on Main St. focuses on John F. Kennedy's time spent in the town. There is a memorial to President Kennedy on the Lewis Bay waterfront that was erected by Barnstable citizens in 1966. The memorial includes a fountain and a field-stone monument with the presidential seal and JFK inscription: "I believe it is important that this country sail and not sit still in the harbor."
The Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League play in Hyannis at the McKeon Park from mid-June to early August. Hyannis is an important tourist destination and the primary ferry boat and General aviation link for passengers and freight to Nantucket Island. Hyannis provides secondary passenger access to Martha's Vineyard Island. Due to its large natural harbor, Hyannis is the largest recreational boating and second largest commercial fishing port on Cape Cod."*

Canada Tourism Group Taps Creative Tools to Fuel 2012 Growth
By David George-Cosh
What do Instagram, Michael Buble and oysters have in common?
All three were cited as key tools employed by the Canadian Tourism Commission to help fuel record tourism growth for Canada last year, the agency said in its 2012 Annual Report.
The CTC, a national tourism marketing organization owned by the Canadian government, saw total tourism revenue jump to 82.4 billion Canadian dollars ($82 billion) last year, an increase of 5% from 2011.
Last year's biggest tourism draw? That'd be the Calgary Stampede, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012. Marketing efforts by the CTC helped encourage 8,900 tourists to book trips to the Stampede, which generated C$9.2 million in revenue.
Not surprisingly, the most visitors to Canada last year were from neighbors south of the border, accounting for nearly three-quarters of all arrivals. Travelers from the U.S. rose 2% to 11.8 million last year, while tourism spending grew 4% to C$6.4 billion.
Meanwhile, the largest surge of tourists came from China, with 288,000 tourists visiting Canada last year, up 22% from 2011. Spending by Chinese tourists rose 18% to C$481 million.
Sluggish growth from the euro zone saw a decline in visits from French, German and British tourists, while South Koreans also visited less, partially due to that market's slowing export economy, the CTC said.
Domestic travel spending, however, lagged international spending in 2012. Tourists from overseas spent C$1,441 on average while in Canada, while domestic travelers spent less than $300.
"While the Canadian economy benefits from increasing domestic tourism demand, dependence on this market is a serious concern as there is limited potential for growth due to a relatively small population base," the CTC said.
That said, a strong Canadian dollar encouraged more Canadians to travel abroad in 2012. Canada's so-called travel deficit – the difference between how much Canadians are spending on international travel and how much Canada is bringing in – expanded by 9% in 2012 to C$17.8 billion, the agency said.
So just how did the agency deploy its creative tools to help bolster tourism?
Social media, including a closely followed Instagram account, was described by the CTC a cost-effective way of engaging with would-be tourists, while the agency helped promote a Christmas special featuring Canadian crooner Michael Buble spending time in his Vancouver hometown. Meanwhile, oyster-shucking tours in Prince Edward Island were highlighted as a new tourism draw that helped Canada stand out in a crowded tourism marketplace.

Elder Care
Modern medical science and public health will allow most of us to live to an age at which we can no longer live fully independently. Our physical and mental capabilities may erode slowly or may decline suddenly, as with a stroke or serious accident. When that happens, we will need help with several vital tasks: to accomplish the tasks of daily life that we now are able to do by ourselves; to maintain our health to the extent possible, for as long as possible; and finally to ease our transition to death. Family members may not have the time, the skills, or even the physical strength to provide all these kinds of care. This is why there is a demand for the elder-care industry.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that in 2012 more than 759,970 people were employed at establishments providing services for the elderly and persons with disabilities in the United States. Some of these establishments are nursing homes or assisted-living communities where elderly people reside, but others provide health-care services for seniors who are living at home or are being dropped off during daytime hours only.
The type of facility with the longest tradition of specializing in elder care is the nursing home. The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured estimates that there were around 15,400 certified nursing homes in the United States as of 2011, a number that has stayed quite stable for most of the past decade. About 1.4 million Americans live in these facilities, and the primary payer is Medicaid for 63 percent of the residents, Medicare for 14 percent, and private or other sources for 22 percent.
AARP estimates that there are around 50,000 assisted-living facilities, with a total capacity of 1.2 million beds. This figure includes facilities that some states license as adult foster care, meaning that the seniors are cared for in the care-provider's residence. Because Medicare does not pay for assisted-living care, nor does Medicaid in many states, private payments from residents and families account for most of the revenue.
A 2007 national survey by the National Center for Health Statistics found 14,500 home health care and hospice care agencies, of which 75 percent provided health care only, 15 percent provided hospice care only, and 10 percent provided a mix of services. Medicare is the main payer for these kinds of home care, especially for hospice care. On any given day in 2007, almost 1.5 million Americans were receiving these kinds of home care. The kinds of care most frequently received in this setting were skilled nursing services, reported by 84 percent of the patients, physical therapy (40 percent), and assistance with daily living activities (37 percent).
So much elder care is taking place at home partly because this is where seniors want to be. A 2012 survey by AARP found that 90 percent of adults 65 and older planned to stay in their current homes for the next five to ten years. Home care also can reduce costs, especially when the level of care that is needed does not require highly skilled workers.

Anything, even windows, can be a pxe server.
pxe server just means dhcp and tftp server.
(confusingly there is also a thing intel makes called pxe server which is a sort of special dhcp server that some pxe clients know how to look for and when found, they know enough to prefer it over the generic dhcp server that may also exist on the network. Personally I never use it, so I wouldn't worry about it or think about it, just know about it so as not to be confused when you see instructions that deal with it.)

Quoting for Audio Books
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
July 6, 2006
One of the enigmas in the publishing industry is quoting for long form narration and audio books. Let's figure this one out together!
Quoting for audio book recordings can be a tricky business.
There are so many factors to consider when embarking on an audio book recording, including the length (total word count), complexity of the book, artistic direction, consistency, and technical requirements.
After those formalities are accounted for, then follows the herculean task of bringing the audio book through all of its ups and downs to a graceful completion, including extra time spent editing, mastering, etc.
From what we've heard, the average word costs a client somewhere between .01 and .05 (basically, anywhere between a penny to a nickel USD / Canadian).
Obviously, if certain words are irregular, of foreign origin, or of a technical nature, they will be more expensive per word than regular words like 'tree', 'love', 'apple', or 'shopping'.
Examples of irregular or specialty words could be 'ubiquitous', 'lieutenant', or 'behemoth'.
Foreign words could be 'connoisseur', 'gnocchi', or 'rooibos'.
Technical or medical words could be 'tetracycline', 'idiopathic pericarditis', or 'Lymantria dispar'.
The voice talents' professional responsibilities set aside, the greatest, or, one could say most gargantuan challenge lies in educating people about how much it costs to record an audio book.
Some clients honestly have no idea regarding what an audio book recording should cost. All they are thinking about is selling the book after it's recorded at a competitive price. Many audio books are sold online at websites for a fraction of the price that one would suppose, simply because the file is available as an MP3 download, an electronic product that costs nothing to reproduce and close to nothing to maintain.
Also, the cheaper the audio book, the more people are likely to buy it, and perhaps, they may buy multiple books while they are there. As I said before, it's a simple download or file transfer with little to no exertion for the buyer or seller.
While these merchants make money off of the product in small increments, the sales volumes are high. Sales are made over and over again at no additional cost to the merchant save for any advertising they may do to sell the audio book and potential web hosting / accounting fees.
Now, this isn't the case for all audio book companies. There are some that recognize that they need to properly compensate the voice actor for their work and sell the product for a premium. The fact of the matter is that voice actors everywhere need to remain steadfast regarding what they charge so that there is no confusion where the client is concerned, particularly individuals whose only goal is to make a quick buck.
In one of my posts this week, I asked you to give your opinion on the current standard rates sheet at InteractiveVoices. We are going to revise the rate sheet for Voices.com with your feedback.
What have your experiences been recording audio books? Has proper compensation been an issue?
Looking forward to hearing from you... Comment on this article!

Don't confuse "proper" compensation with "higher pay".
Proper Compensation is merely an Investment. If the client believes in the final product, they will "invest" a certain amount of money into the talent and production to gain high Quality and long-term Profitability.
I don't believe an amateur can expect "high" compensation when they havn't proved their value for the product... but they can always expect "proper" compensation. A high risk, low yield investment is not very appealing to the Client so they'll only invest what is proper.
Since I've gleaned a great amount of experience both in performing narration and in directing/producing long-form audio, "proper compensation" is not only Higher for me, but also a more secure and valuable investment for the client. Thus, they're willing to pay higher, as we both agree that is "proper".
If you want your "proper compensation" to be higher... simply prove that the client's investment in you is both secure and worthwhile (adding to the Quality and Profitability of the final product).Posted by:
PS: As a director/producer, I've seen anywhere from $300 to $750 per Edited Hour of audio ... even quotes of $10k and $50k for an 11 Disc audiobook.
As far as "proper" pay ... I'd recommend starting near $300/Edited Hour, and working your way up. Prove the quality and value of your work! If you remain with the "average pay" or "recommended compensation charts" you'll never believe yourself better than "average" and the client will never pay more for it.
But in my opinion, that's only "proper".Posted by:
When bidding for a long form job, whether narration or audiobook or others - - don't forget to discuss the way in which you will handle difficult to pronounce words. The talent has some responsibility here, and so does the client. It is his or her project and they should not automatically expect that the voice talent will always be familiar with every word in every script.
Ask that the client make some effort to point out certain regional or otherwise unique or unusual pronunciations that may not be readily apparent. For instance, what is the correct pronunciation of the Colorado town "Buena Vista"? You will probably think you know and you will probably be wrong, unless you are familiar with the town or the area. It is not pronounced "Bwayna Vista" as you might think - - it is, oddly enough, corrrectly pronounced "B-you-na Vista".
Another one to watch out for is Latin phrases. There are a couple of things that can come up and slap ya here - Some may be of standard Latin pronunciation rules and others may require Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation rules. One may be appropriate but the client may prefer the other, for reasons known only to him or her.
Failure to communicate will inevitably end up in time consuming delays for the client and more work for the voice talent.Posted by:
I have done over 35 audio books for a small publishing house. I started out doing it for their standard rate ($300 for 4 finished hours). After I'd been doing that for a couple of years, I tried to up my rates. They refused.
I know that people like my stuff. I get positive feedback all the time. The publisher just acts like they will just get some other smoe to do it if I refuse to work for so little.
How do you put the squeeze on them, when they don't seem to care? And I'm not sure I could afford to lose the extra income.
Hmmm......Posted by:
I have recorded around 25 audio books for kids.
Coming to your point, I started out doing it for reasonable rates.
I think that people should select the best professional speaker, especially talent with good voices.
I find that people like my stuff. I offer additional value to my clients. As a professional speaker, I get good feedback all the time.

Here's a case I've haven't been following as closely as I should. I guess it's slipped under the radar with all the jubilation over the marriage equality in California. But it could have a major impact on GLBT people in California...
Today in The Washington Post, read about California resident Guadalupe Benítez, who was denied fertility treatments by her doctors because she is lesbian. She has taken her case all the way to the California Supreme Court. After the recent landmark ruling on marriage equality, it will be interesting to see how the court rules on this issue.
In this case, the defendants are claiming that giving fertility treatments to a lesbian woman somehow "violates" their religious freedom. As the article says, "On the heels of its ruling on same-sex marriage, California's highest court will decide another potentially landmark civil rights case: whether doctors can refuse to treat certain patients for religious reasons... Benítez, who is gay, says doctors violated her civil rights because they refused her a fertility treatment, saying it was against their religion to perform insemination on a lesbian."
Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that an entire class of people could be discriminated against by doctors - who (in theory) anyone should be able to turn to for medical assistance? Everyone has the right to be treated fairly by medical practitioners! Let's see how California's Supreme Court rules.
-Adam Ratliff

IDPH to Close Chicago, Illinois Nursing Home
According to the Chicago Tribune, Somerset Place in Chicago will officially close on Friday, and the state must transfer Somerset's remaining residents. The closure comes after Medicaid funding was cut off and the Illinois Department of Public Health revoked Somerset's funding after inspections revealed rampant nursing home abuse and neglect. Somerset Place nursing home has received attention in the media due to an investigation by the Tribune into alleged abuse and neglect at the nursing home. The population at Somerset Place is entirely made up of residents suffering from mental illnesses.
Eric Rothner owns a number of nursing homes throughout Illinois, including the management company Care Centers, Inc. Care Centers declared bankruptcy recently, but was managing Somerset up until bankruptcy was declared. Care Centers, Inc. is the subject of a number of nursing home abuse and neglect lawsuits, however it is questionable whether the victims will ever see compensation. The company still owes $400,000 to a former employee after a jury found that Care Centers denied her leave benefits.
Despite this debt, the Tribune reports that Rothner received payments of $900,000 from Care Centers, Inc. in the year before the management company filed for bankruptcy. A judge called this a "deliberate attempt to conceal and divert assets to avoid paying the judgment."
The Chicago nursing home abuse attorneys at Levin & Perconti have filed a number of lawsuits against Care Centers, Inc. If you suspect that your loved on has suffered injury or death as a result of nursing home abuse and neglect in a Care Centers home, please contact our office. We will be happy to discuss your legal options with you.
According to the IDPH's Nursing Homes in Ilinois website, Rothner owns a number of Illinois homes, including:
• Briar Place
• Bryn Mawr Care
• Concord Extended Care
• Countryside Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
• Hillcrest Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
• Bella Vista Care Center
• Avenue Care Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
• Prairie Village Healthcare Center
• Boulevard Care Nursing & Rehabilitation
• Park House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
• Elmwood Care
• Rainbow Beach Care Center
• Westshire Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
• Wheaton Care Center
• Wilson Care
• South Suburban Rehabilitation Center

Kawasaki Motors Corp. USA has just announces a recall of certain 2012 model year vehicles, including the Ninja and the Versys, which were manufactured from Sept. 13 to Oct. 25, 2011.
See the list below for the specific models involved in the recall. The potential number of vehicles affected is 793.
The company says that engine vibration, along with damage during the assembly process, can cause the circlips on the footpeg mounting pins to potentially break, and the footpeg to detach from the bike. This could increase the risk of a crash if the vehicle is in motion.
Kawasaki asks dealers to replace the passenger footpeg pin circlips free of charge. The recall will begin on or about March 12. For more information, call Kawasaki at 866-802-9381.
The specific vehicles being recalled is as follows:
2012 Kawasaki EX250JCF
2012 Kawasaki EX250JCFA
2012 Kawasaki EX250JCFAL
2012 Kawasaki EX250JCFL

The Real Estate Radio Show
By jlyon on August 24, 2007 - 7:08pm
For anyone interested in real estate and keeping up to date with what's happening in Vancouver, I've recently heard about a show broadcast on radio that I never knew existed.
It's a one hour show broadcast on Saturday mornings between 10am and 11am on 600am. It's hosted by Tom Lucas (a veteran of the airwaves) and Realtor Don Goodman. They also have different guests on each week.
Archives of recent shows can be found on the www.600am.com web site. 600AM can also be heard on cable 94.3 FM in the lower mainland of B.C.
From what I've heard from on the archives it seems quite a light hearted show and has some useful insights.

New Orleans, LA., February 18, 2013 — The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association today honored Federated Rural Electric (Jackson, Minn.) with the Association's Community Service Award for Community Investment.
Federated REA helped AGCO Corporation, a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment,, secure a $740,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development loan to expand its Minnesota facility. The expansion allowed AGCO to bring its High Horsepower assembly line back from France and build a visitor's center. The project results in over 200 new jobs in addition to retained jobs.
The AGCO project caps a more than 20-year old economic development effort by the co-op to diversify the local economy, which had relied on agriculture alone. Increased school enrollment, increased demand for housing and caterers, as well as the arrival of an employment agency are a few of the indicators proving the success of Federated's initiative.
AGCO, which is not a member of the cooperative, will be expanding its workforce from 850 to nearly 1,100 full time employees
"Federated's outstanding community investment project has not only brought jobs to the co-op's rural Minnesota community, it has helped improved the quality of life," said NRECA CEO Glenn English.
Since 1990, Federated has provided more than $3.6 million in loan funds and economic development assistance, helping the regional economy by retaining 230 jobs and add 448 jobs.
Federated is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative serving 5,000 members in Jackson and Martin Counties in Minnesota.
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association is the national service organization that represents the nation's more than 900 private, not-for-profit, consumer-owned electric cooperatives, which provide service to 42 million people in 47 states.
Nearly 6,000 representatives from cooperative electric utilities across the nation are attending the NRECA Annual Meeting February 18 -21, during which they will set NRECA's legislative and organizational agenda for 2013. In addition to considering and acting upon policy resolutions, delegates receive reports from NRECA officials, hear addresses by key public figures and business experts, and attend educational forums on major issues affecting electric cooperatives and their consumer owners.

£200,000 fine for rogue landlord's 'bed in shed'
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Legal, Local Government
�200,000 fine for rogue landlord's 'bed in shed'
A rogue landlord has been ordered to pay more than £200,000 - or go to prison.
Michael Aslam, of Reading, was sentenced this week at Isleworth Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to two offences of breaching planning enforcement notices.
Aslam had been ordered by council officers to demolish an outbuilding at the rear of a property he owns in Sipson, which had been occupied and used as a 'bed in shed'.
He had also been illegally using the house and neighbouring property as a hotel without permission, and had been ordered to stop. He failed to comply on both counts and continued to gain financially from rental income.
At the sentencing and confiscation hearing Aslam was fined £7,500 for each of the two offences of breaching planning enforcement notices - a total of £15,000 to be paid within 6 months, or to serve 12 months imprisonment in default.
Under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the judge ordered that Aslam must pay back £170,000 in full within six months, or serve 30 months imprisonment in default.
This is to be divided between the council, HM Treasury and the Courts and Tribunals Service.
Aslam was furthered ordered to pay the council's legal costs in the sum of £17,676 within six months.
As the hearing concluded, Judge HHJ McDowall said: "I must give credit to the council officers who have done an excellent job in seeing that the law is complied with."
Councillor Keith Burrows said: "This is a great courtroom victory for the council and I am delighted that the judge has recognised how much work and effort has gone into this case. It is totally unacceptable for rogue landlords to line their pockets with ill-gotten gains and allow families to live in poor conditions.
"I hope this sends out a clear message that Hillingdon Council does not tolerate this behaviour and we will take action against those who do not comply with planning laws."

Renault Megane
The Renault Megane Coupe is a competent coupe for decent money …
Twenty eight years after the original Volkswagen Scirocco made its debut, this next-generation version was released to high acclaim. Distinctive styling, a great chassis and a hint of practicality make it a serious alternative for those considering a hot hatch.
Whatever speed it's doing, the Scirocco is hugely impressive. The handling is neutral and there's loads of grip. Drivers can personalise the ride by changing settings that control the suspension, steering and throttle response.
However, it's not just about dynamics, because the VW is also a stylish car that's well put together using quality materials. The cabin is cleverly thought out and distinctive - so you won't be left feeling as if you're just driving a Golf derivative.
The driving position should suit most people, and there's plenty of forward passenger space. The two rear-seats have limited head room, but there's respectable leg room for this type of car. The boot is just about big enough to be of use, and the two rear seats fold down when extra space is required.
