Pumpkin-Apricot Pudding Cake
Steamed pudding is an English tradition that's been passed down through generations and eventually made its way across "the pond." Traditionally, it's served with a hard sauce (a creamy mixture laced with brandy or whiskey), but whipped cream is a perfect substitute. We've varied the English recipe, which uses dried fruits and specially designed molds, and used packed pumpkin and mini-bundt pans instead, for an American feel. Here's how to create and serve this truly dramatic dessert.
- Heat first three ingredients:
- 3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 1/2 cup amaretto, warmed (coffee syrup)
- 1 can (15-ounce) solid pack pumpkin
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon each: nutmeg, allspice, and salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
InstructionsStep 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare batter according to the recipe for Pumpkin-Apricot Pudding, above. Grease a heatprooof pudding mold or six mini-bundt pans. Pour batter into molds. Place on rack set in roasting pan.
Step 2: Place pan in oven. Pour boiling water into pan until molds are covered two-thirds of the way. Cover with foil. Steam for 1-1/2 hours or until toothpick inserted in pudding comes out clean. Cool on wire rack; invert onto serving plates.
Grand lighting: The beauty of steamed pudding comes just before you serve it-- with an impressive flambe' presentation your guest will remember for years to come.
Here's how to do it:
Microwave 1/4 cup whiskey or brandy on High for 30 seconds; spoon over each pudding. Set the puddings out on the dining table, then ignite each with a match. The flames will last only a moment, but the effect is well worth the effort. Once the flame has gone out, top with whipped cream.

IT'S ALWAYS troublesome when someone who gets paid for speaking his mind gets fired for speaking his mind, so it's especially troublesome that NPR chose to fire longtime commentator Juan Williams.
Yes, Williams' comment that he gets nervous every time he sees a Muslim on a plane was bigoted - and the fact that millions of Americans may agree with him doesn't make it less so - but NPR has chosen to employ him for 10 years because it seemingly valued his opinions. That it doesn't like one of his opinions shouldn't negate all the others. By firing Williams for a burst of being too honest, NPR plays into the hands of the right-wing anti-NPR forces who would correctly claim that as long as Williams espoused NPR's opinion, he was cool, but once he deviated from the all-inclusive "Kumbaya" line, he was out.

Nigerian Pancakes With Shrimp
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
The pancakes are a meal in themselves, and require no other accompaniment than a green salad. I found this on the internet. Posted for ZWT7-Africa. Note: Soak time is not included. Cook time is approximate to cook all the panckes in batches.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb pea beans, soaked in water to cover overnight (any white beans will do)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1⁄2 lb fresh tomato, cut in 1/4 inch cubes
- 1⁄2 lb yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 lb cooked shrimp, in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 1⁄2 cup peanut oil
- Drain the water from soaked beans. In a 1 quart saucepan, put beans in and cover again with fresh water and 1 Tblsp. salt. Simmer slowly until tender.
- Drain and put through a food mill or sieve into a 3 quart bowl.
- Add tomatoes, onions,shrimp, 1 Tblsp. salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and eggs.
- In a large skillet: Heat peanut oil. Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoons in the hot fat. It will spread out like a pancake. Turn when bottom is brown and firm. Serve 2 pancakes as a portion.
Most Helpful
These pancakes were very quick and easy to make. They had a nice flavor and interesting texture. I loved all the ingredients and was pleased to be able to taste them all. I did have trouble turning the pancakes, they kept falling apart on me. I am very pleased to have tried them. Made for ZWT7 Witchin Kitchen.
I wanted to love these, I really did: the protein, the cheap ingredients, the ease of preparation. Maybe I over processed the beans, because I got bored trying to push them through the sieve and ended up putting them in the food processor, but our pancakes had a very mealy texture that we couldn't get over and made them not so appetizing. : (
We loved these! They were so unusual and full of flavour! I boiled the prawns (shrimp) in some salted water until just cooked. For the beans, I used a 300g can of butter beans. I reduced the salt a little, and addeda little extra cayenne (we like hot and spicy!). I had a little trouble with the first couple of pancakes falling apart, but by the end, I had it sorted! I found they held together better if I used a sheet of baking paper to line my frying pan, and then after pouring the mixture in, i put the lid on the pan to help set the rest of the pancake before turning. They were better cooked slowly over a low heat. Great recipe! Made for ZWT7 - Africa.

When an employee is terminated for cause they are fired from their job for a specific reason and are not always provided with advance notice or compensation.

What is Termination for Cause?

Reasons an employee could be terminated for cause include, but are not limited to, stealing, lying, failing a drug or alcohol test, falsifying records, embezzlement, insubordination, fraud, felonious conduct, disclosing private, confidential information or trade secrets, deliberately violating company policy or rules, and other serious misconduct related to your employment.

When you are terminated for cause the employer does not have to give you notice. The only time an employer is required to give notice in the case of mass layoffs or large plant or corporate closures per the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. Otherwise, federal law assumes the default employment in the U.S., known as at-will employment.

Most company and even government employment contracts are created for an indefinite time period at-will. At-will employment gives the employer and employee the flexibility to terminate the relationships at any time for nearly any reason, so long as they are not discriminatory reasons such as race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. As a result, there is no federal law forcing an employer to give any sort of notice when terminating an employee.

Conviction of a crime or breach of a contract you have with your employer may also be grounds for termination for cause. For cause termination is when an employee is fired on account of violating the terms of an employee contract by engaging in fraud, embezzlement, theft, willful misconduct, and more. Employers are not required to give any notice of termination in this case, but depending on the employment contract, severance pay or other compensation may still be owed to the employee, despite his or her wrongdoing.

What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination, also known as wrongful dismissal is when an employee's employment contract has been terminated for reasons that are illegal or breach the terms of said contract. Some examples of wrongful termination include discrimination, retaliation, refusal to commit or perform an illegal act, or breaching the contract or company handbook.

If you feel that your termination was unfair or have not been treated according to the law or company policy, you can get assistance. The US Department of Labor, for example, has information on each law that regulates employment and advice on where and how to file a claim. Here's more information on wrongful termination.

Your state labor department may also be able to assist, depending on state law and the circumstances.

In addition, local bar associations often have a referral service and may even have a hotline you can call to find an employment lawyer. Keep in mind that you will need to pay for an attorney's services or find one willing to provide counsel pro bono.

Termination for Cause and Unemployment

When you are terminated for cause you may not be eligible for unemployment compensation. Variances in state laws and the gravity of the offense play a part in unemployment benefit eligibility. If you are not sure whether you're eligible for unemployment, check with your state unemployment office to determine your eligibility for unemployment compensation.

Have a Question?

Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about termination from employment, including reasons for getting fired, employee rights when you have been terminated, collecting unemployment, wrongful termination, saying goodbye to co-workers and more.

Our identity as disciples of Jesus is something that should impact every aspect of our being – including the way we vote.
This resource will help you and your church community to reflect on how being a follower of Jesus will affect your behaviour at election time. It will enable you to take a distinctive view of politics based on your commitment to Christ.
What factors should you consider when choosing an MP, a local councillor, an MEP or any other holder of an elected office? By asking you to 'Love your neighbour: think, pray, vote' we are inviting you to challenge any political message that asks 'what's in it for me?' by asking instead 'what is in the interest of the common good?'
Love Your Neighbour does not put forward any particular political view, but offers four lenses through which you can view and interpret the messages and promises you receive from candidates and canvassers. These lenses are: truth, justice, peace and wellbeing.
The resource is appropriate for use during worship (eg on the four Sundays running up to the Election) or in Bible-study and house groups where you could use the materials as a basis for discussion during the same four-week period.
The resource consists of:
- four short videos on the themes of truth, justice, peace and wellbeing (c. six minutes per film, total DVD running time of 25 minutes)
- prayers which root the message of each video in worship
- ten copies each of four postcards; these carry brief reminders of the core themes and offer questions that you might ask of canvassers and at hustings, or use to reflect upon when reading election materials
- four short Bible studies, each developing the four themes; these contain questions for reflection and discussion and may be incorporated into a sermon.
An additional pack containing the four different A6 postcards (ten copies of each) is also available.
'Love Your Neighbour' has been published in partnership with the Joint Public Issues Team – a venture of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Methodist Church, the United Reformed Church and the Church of Scotland, which helps churches work together on issues of justice and inequality.
Content of DVDs was great. in a small room on a computer sound was OK, however in a large church (where the product was designed to be used) the background music was far too loud and the words could not be heard clearly. I suggest future products are tested in such environments.
The jingle jangle background music made it difficult to hear what people were saying.The prayers on the screen were small print. (Would be big enough if we were at the cinema. Clearly the production team were under 25Keith Burchell age 73
Considering this was a joint publication I thought the quality of something so important/significant was poor. The production wasn't great, interviews lacking in substance and sadly I think the production did not leave the congregation particularly inspired or resourced so to vote. Sorry to be so negative!
received as promised
A useful resource
A good resource to could be used with ease

Chat with Jurko
Welcome to ESPNChicago.com! Today Jurko will be online to talk to you about the Chicago Bears' loss to the Packers and the news that Brian Urlacher is out for the season.
Send your questions now and join Jurko Monday at 1pm CT!
More Jurko: Bio
ESPNChicago.com (2:00 PM)
Hey everybody. Jurko's here so let's get rolling.
Andrew Blakemore (Columbia, MO)
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty pumped about seeing Lance in the middle. (Don't get me wrong, I'm going to miss seeing Urlacher out there everyday, though some may argue he's a little washed up) I've always wanted Lance in the middle with Brian roaming the outside spot. Lance seems to be more physical which is what you want in a middle LB while Urlacher always looked like a Sam or Will cause he could never shed blocks and had tremendous lateral speed.
Jurko (2:01 PM)
Briggs in the middle is the best answer you can have. Big fan of Derrick Brooks, but it will take him at least 30 days to get into some semblance of football shape. Any of the other backers can play the outside position. Now you have to find young depth because of Pisa's injury.
girard (Chicago)
Jurko you see us now making any moves to get a veteran WR?
Jurko (2:02 PM)
Cutler is trying to get used to these wide receivers. Bringing more new receivers in will make that transition tougher.
Chris (Chicago, IL)
Jurko, on the Bears' last drive when they settled for a field goal, what do you think about that 3rd and goal play call? We obviously were going to pass because we couldn't move the ball running, so why get in a power run formation, run a weak play-action boot, and only have one viable option at receiver (Olsen) run a route? --- I would have preferred a spread formation w/ Cutler in the shotgun. It would give the Bears more options (than one!) and pressure wouldn't be an issue b/c we are talking about 3-10 yard routes, a kind of bang-bang play. We all knew the Bears HAD to have a touchdown there. A lot of bad things happened last night, but I thought that play call was up at the top of the list of bonehead moves!
Jurko (2:02 PM)
I agree. There needs to be much more creativity around the goal line, especially on 3rd down.
Phillip (Jebraail)
I dont understand why The Bears WR just stop running there routs like that? Besides Knox and Hester no one really show up.It really felt like Rex grossman all over again. I know its the first game. But with the people hurt on D. This might be a bad year. What do you think?
Jurko (2:03 PM)
Somebody needs to come back to the ball. The rule of thumb when your QB is scrambling is break the way the QB is going and somebody has to come back to the line of scrimmage to help him.
Lucas (Lisle, Il)
Jurko, The 4-3 to 3-4 switch looked to be seamless in Green Bay, do you see good things with the Packers the rest of the season?
Jurko (2:04 PM)
They played even front looks with 3-4 personnel. I think that confused the Bears. They had the whole preseason to prepare for the Bears. There will be no surpirses going into next week's opponent.
Brett (Addison, IL)
Jurko how did Orlando Pace and Frank Omiyale look to you? From the game it appeared Omiyale was abused quite a lot in the game and the fact that he's starting over Beekman may be a problem the rest of the season.
Jurko (2:05 PM)
Omiyale was the worst player on the field yesterday -- three times as bad as Cutler. He's a leaner. It only takes one OL to break down and they all look bad. Yesterday Omiyale was terrible. He needs to be replaced with Beekman.
Yardbird (Aurora)
Good Kid, I can't believe how much complaining I'm hearing from Bears fans already. It was one game! Not time to give up on our quarterback for the next ten years, right?!?!
Jurko (2:06 PM)
Cutler's a stud. He had a bad game yesterday, as did the offense. I've seen Marino throw six interceptions, Favre six, Brady four picks in one half... everybody has a bad game. this guy has the tools. Now he just has to become more comfortable with his receivers.
mj (west dundee)
so... is vasher going to be benched next week or will lovie give us his normal bs
Jurko (2:07 PM)
I think they were trying to showcase Vasher to trade him if there were injuries around the league. Now I think the only thing you can do with him is cut him.
Bill (Dyer, IN)
Jurko, does Matt Forte look fat to you? Or was it a lack of running room that made him look a lot slower than last year?
Jurko (2:07 PM)
Forte was victimized by Omiyale's crappiness. He will be much better next week.
Girard (Chicago, IL)
Jurko...what did you think of the Dline? I thought they looked more active
Jurko (2:08 PM)
Wale's playing for a contract. I liked the activity of Abams, Harrison, Idonije. What you saw out of Tommie Harris last night is the best you will see of him the whole year. And that's not saying much.
Brian Dewey (Des Moines, IOwa)
you think his wrist injury really needs to side line a guy for a full season?
Jurko (2:10 PM)
It's a serious injury. Linebacker has to use his hands to shed blockers. While the dislocation is happening, there's a ton of damage happening to the tendons and ligaments. He has to have surgery to repair all of that.
Adam (Schaumburg)
Jurk - Would (and should) the Bears consider moving Briggs to the middle if Brooks does not sign? Hunter could go to the string side and Roach to the weak.
Jurko (2:10 PM)
Briggs to the middle is position A for the Bears. And then fit the best linebackers around Briggs.
mj (west dundee)
is the season a lost cause after the first week? now i think we will be lucky to win 8 games.
Jurko (2:12 PM)
Of course not. This is a blip on the radar. Sometimes being embarrassed on national television is exactly what a team needs.
Girard (Chicago, IL)
Jurko whats your favorite food?
Jurko (2:12 PM)
Steak and potatoes.
Evan (Aurora)
Isn't Brook's grey hair in a rocking chair these day , how old is he?
Jurko (2:13 PM)
I agree. If you bring Brooks in here, I'll start getting concerned.
Jeff (Chicago, Illinois)
Everyone wants to put blame on Jay, yes the four interceptions were terrible but what can you expect from a guy who is being hurried almost every down and was not put in a position to succeed by his Offensiver coordinator. Jurko it's my opinion that Ron Turner had no clue what he was doing, why should we expect him to get any better with play calling?
Jurko (2:14 PM)
Ron Turner is this year's Bob Babich. I think there were more even front defenses being played than the Bears anticipated. I think Cutler was checking out of a lot of run plays too. The cat and mouse game will continue between the defense and Jay Cutler on 8-man fronts for the rest of the year.
Dennis (Oswego)
I thought Hester looked more like a wide receiver than ever before, do u think there was improvement? And do u think we will see Hester continue to improve?
Jurko (2:15 PM)
Hester looked solid. The quick screen and stiff arm on Woodson and send him deep. That's what he does best.
Girard (Chicago, IL)
Do you own a snuggie?
Jurko (2:15 PM)
No. I'm too big.
Andrew (Aurora)
How many weeks till Cutler demands new/better receivers?
Jurko (2:15 PM)
Eight weeks. Even if they do better he's going to want better wide receivers.
Alex (Richmond, VA)
Why didn't the Bears establish the run first?
Jurko (2:16 PM)
The Packers showed too many 8-man front and had them checking out. And Omiyale is TERRIBLE.
John (The Chi)
with all the injuries last night...you think this could still be a playoff team?
Jurko (2:17 PM)
Absolutely they're still a playoff team. Much better effort anticipated against Pittsburgh. The Steelers' running game is awful and Max Starks is horid, so Alex Brown should have the big game.
Larry ((Frankfort, IL))
Jurko, maybe I miss the old school days ans I do not know what Urlacher's surgery was like. But why couldn't they put a cast on it and let him play. I have seen countless players play in casts. Is it just that the injury is that bad that they can't risk it?
Jurko (2:17 PM)
There's a lot of damage done in there and Briggs can fill the position.
Fred (Chicago)
Based on last night, what do the Bears need to do to get ready for the Steelers?
Jurko (2:18 PM)
Beekman for Omiyale, Bowman for Vasher and split Olsen out as the far wide receiver closest to the boundary.
Bill (Dyer, IN)
Jurko, do you like Frank Omiyale?
Jurko (2:19 PM)
He's a leaner. He doesn't drive anyone off the ball. He does the least amount of work to be just successful. It looks like the pro personnel guy won out in the decision to make Omiyale the starter.
Evan (Aurora)
what can they do about these receivers blowin routes??and he seem to favor his buddy from college even after he blew like 4 plays
Jurko (2:20 PM)
Bennett needs to play with better balance. Not every pass is going to hit you perfectly in stride. See the ball and make an adjustment.
JJ (Bensenville)
Why did Lovie throw the challenge flag on the fake punt when it was SO clear the 12th man got off the field. Shouldn't the coaches upstairs see that on the monitor before he throws that flag?
Jurko (2:21 PM)
Lovie didn't have a great day. On either challenge call advice from the booth should have told him to keep the flag in his pocket. He's a major reason why there were no timeouts at the end of the game.
Greg F. (Oak Lawn, Il )
Good Kid, were you able to identify Turner's gameplan yesterday? It seemed as if they had no idea what to do offensively.
Jurko (2:22 PM)
The QB has the option to check out of plays. I thought there were more run plays called, but were checked to pass plays. In the second half they went to more of a counter and misdirection game, which opened up some holes for them.
Jeff (Chicago, Illinois)
Will Omiyale or Nate Vasher be replaced soon?
Jurko (2:23 PM)
If the Bears want to run the ball, they need to admit that Omiyale was a mistake. Bench him and use this time to correct his flaws. The problem is his major flaw has to do with effort.
Dave (Warrenville, IL)
Jurk -- how much responsibility for those four turnovers should be assigned to the WR corps? Was there any fault on the WR's parts for not running or finishing routes (as Collinsworth blamed on Dez Clark during the broadcast)?
Jurko (2:24 PM)
2.5 of the interceptions go to Cutler, the other 1.5 go to the wide receivers hanging him out to dry. Quite frankly, he could have had six INTs in that game.
Corey (Deerfield)
Only one catch by Olsen and it seemed that every ball went to Earl. Was Olsen being doubled every down or was Jay's scrambling causing for him to look in only one direction? I mean the Jay-Earl combo looked good but "good for you" (sound bite needed). Do you think passes to Forte and Olsen will be an emphasis on the Mu-Mu-less steelers?
Jurko (2:26 PM)
Olsen and Clark both seemed out of sorts, whether it was an inability to get off the line of scrimmage, or because they were getting jammed, or weren't aware of the under technique that was being utilized against them. The under technique is when a guy follows you and runs underneath your route.
silvester (riverside, california)
were they double teaming olsen last night? he might have caught only one pass from what i saw after all the offseason hype.
Jurko (2:26 PM)
Yes. 40% of the time he was being doubled.
Kyle (Chicago)
I think Rod Marinelli's impact was extremely evident last night. Ogunleye was dominant, Brown was great, and I actually saw Anderson in the backfield for the first time since 2007. However, near the end of the game, Grant and the Packers ran all over us. Is that attributable to Urlacher's and Tinoisamoa's injuries, or are Tommie Harris and Anthony Adams to blame?
Jurko (2:28 PM)
The D-line looks better with Rod's influence. The Packers' running game was stymied for most of the night and in pressure situations sometimes D-linemen try to do too much and that gets them out of position.
Kyle (Chicago)
Also, please post and discuss the question I asked about benching Pace, moving Williams to LT, and starting Shaffer at RT.
Jurko (2:29 PM)
Pace wasn't a problem last night. Omiyale! Omiyale! Omiyale! Omiyale! Omiyale! To quote Christian Bale, "What don't you get about it man?"
Chris (Chicago)
Safe to say we won't see Mannelly audible into a fake punt from his own 30 ever again? It did not cost the Bears the game, but that was criminally stupid.
Jurko (2:30 PM)
He has to do it when the 12th guy is on there. And everybody has to know it's a possibility. He recognized it, but nobody else did, which means just snap the dang ball to the punter.
Sam (Wheaton, IL)
Was this a better than average night for the D-line because of Ogunleye on the rookie tackle, or can we expect strong play from them all season?
Jurko (2:30 PM)
The D-line will play strong all season.
Jurko (2:31 PM)
Thanks for all the great questions. I have to run to the studio for the show. If you're not near a radio, listen to The Afternoon Saloon live on ESPNChicago.com. Have a great week!

[Video] Life Without Whitney: Bobbi Kristina Talks to Oprah
By Anything Hollywood on March 12, 2012
Featured BlogHer Network Post
One month after Whitney Houston's untimely passing that shook the music industry and her billions of fans, her 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown got on "Oprah's Next Chapter" for her exclusive interview and tells her about how she's been hanging on in spite of the late singer leaving her with only her worldly possessions–and her music gene, apparently! With her cutting her ties from her dad and losing her mom forever, we've been worried about the teenager's future.

The Century invites readers to submit first-person narratives (under 1,000 words) on the topics feast and power.
Lent is early this year, so it coincides with Black History Month for a full 18 days.
This overlap of sacred and secular calendars proves doubly sacred for Christians in the U.S. The sacred journey of Lent leads us to the cross—at the end of Jesus' life of healing ministry and preaching good news to the poor. The sacred journey of Black History Month leads us to the lynching tree—as well as to African American innovators such as the man who developed modern blood storage and transfusion.
Something subtle and remarkable has happened in American politics—and, it seems, in democracies across the developed world. The big arguments over what the state owes the people, in terms of services and public welfare, have been somewhat eclipsed. Now the focus is on who counts as people in the first place.
I was concerned that this was a ridiculous idea that would result in a giant train wreck forever archived in cyberspace. I was wrong; it was awesome.
What really happened at Canterbury this month, nobody knows. Nobody can know, because it hasn't finished happening.
The women stood at various points around the large conference room. Each had a large piece of poster board in front of her. For 45 minutes the room was silent except for the sounds of brush on paper.
My American history teacher spoke in a monotone as he read a few paragraphs from the textbook about the Nazis killing six million Jews during the Holocaust. The boy sitting behind me leaned forward and whispered in my ear: "Kike. My grandfather was in the KKK."
The first time it struck me, I was reading Henri Nouwen's Our Greatest Gift: A Meditation on Dying and Caring. "It seems fair to say that between the ages of one and thirty, people are considered young; between thirty and sixty, they are considered middle aged," Nouwen writes. I was 29 and a little terrified.
It's damnable that any reflection on American gun violence is quickly out of date. I was in Texas when the October 1 shooting occurred in Roseburg, Oregon, leaving 10 dead including the gunman. I was revising an article provoked by that shooting when 14 were shot dead December 2 in San Bernardino, California. Now there are two statistics I can't get out of my mind: first, mass shootings (resulting in four or more deaths) occur at a rate of more than one a day in the United States. Second, more American gun deaths have occurred since 1970 than American war deaths since 1775.
This is insane. What's wrong?

Action buttons are little squares that you could insert into your slides that perform actions. Some of them are pre-programmed, to do things like navigate to other slides. You can also program them to do your bidding. Whenever I work with Action buttons I always start by going to the View Ribbon and then turning on the Guides. This will allow me to position each button in the same place on every slide. I will click on the Horizontal guide and drag it down to the 2 inch mark. Then I'll click on the Vertical guide and drag this over to 4.6.
Now let's go to the Insert Ribbon. Click on the Shapes button and down at the bottom you will see a row of Action Buttons. Each of the images is pre-programmed for a specific task, but you do have the ability to choose an image and then assign it to any function that you'd like. We are going to use the information action button, the i in the circle and I will click on it. When I hold my cursor over the slide, it becomes a thin crosshair, which I will position at the intersection of my guides. I am also going to hold down the Shift key on my keyboard, so as I drag the shape of the button, it stays proportional and square. When I let go an Action Settings dialog box opens, and I can see right now the button doesn't do anything, but I will change this to Hyperlink to, and dropdown the list. It starts off with navigation tools, Next Slide, Previous Slide, First Slide, Last Slide, Last Slide Viewed or just simply End the Show.
If I scroll down I have a lot of other options as well including jumping to a specific slide number, but I am going to choose URL and I am going to send the viewers to our website's About Us page. When I'm done I'll click OK. Down at the bottom I have the option of playing a sound. Now a lot of these are really tacky, but some of them are fun. For kicks I'll scroll down to the bottom and choose Whoosh. Now notice that you have a second tab for Mouse Over. You have all the same settings, but instead of actually clicking on the button, all you have to do is wave your mouse over it and you'll get that effect. I'll stick to Mouse Click and click OK.
Once your Action button is inserted you can format it the same way you would any other object. I'll go up to Drawing Tools and choose Format. I'll go to the Shape Styles gallery and click on the More button and I am going to choose the Subtle Effect - Aqua, Accent 5. Now one of the things that's nice about Action Buttons is that if I copy this, I can paste it on any slide and it will go to the same position. So I am going to press Ctrl+C on my keyboard and I'm going to go to Slide 3 to my Organizational chart and press Ctrl+V on my keyboard and the same button appears in the same location.
Now let's go to our last slide. Here I'd like to add a button that jumps back to the beginning of the presentation. So I will take the same steps. I'll go to the Insert Ribbon, click on the Shapes button, and come down to the Action Buttons. This time I am going to choose the third one that sends me back to the beginning. I will hold my Shift key down, position my crosshairs over the intersection of the guides and drag the button to about the same size as the button before, and let go.
Now because this one was pre-programmed it is going to Hyperlink back to the First Slide, which is exactly what I want. To stay consistent I'll also give it the sound Whoosh. I'll click OK, and then go to the Drawing Tools Format ribbon and change the style so it matches the other buttons, Subtle Effect - Aqua, Accent 5. Now let's see these in action. I will go to the Slide Show Ribbon and click From Beginning.
There's my Action Button. I can see that it's a hyperlink, because my cursor becomes a pointer finger. When I click on it I hear the Whoosh sound and it opens up my Web browser to the page that I want. Now I will go to my third slide. There's the same button and it performs the same action. Now I am going to right-click on my presentation and tell it to Go to Slide and I am just going to jump down to Slide 10. This is the button that sends it back to the beginning, and sure enough when click on it, back to the beginning I go.
In the PowerPoint 2010: Audio and Video in Depth course I demonstrated how to use Action Buttons to trigger macros and do many more complex actions. If you're developing a PowerPoint deck that people will watch on their own, providing them navigation buttons can really help with the usability of your slide show.

An update on the charts.
Oh, my bad. Yeah, now I see what you're saying. Good point.
The size of the trades were in blocks of 3 minutes -- not necessarily from trades.
The point I tried to make is as follows:
if a thinly traded stock is at a key "technical point" it doesn't cost very much to push it below the technical indicator (perhaps in the hopes of triggering some algorithm driven selling)... Arguably, that is a "market event", but in a thinly traded stock an event potentially controlled by a single individual masquerading as the "market's sentiment" -- it is this point, that I'm calling the danger of manipulation....
My understanding is that the algorithm traders try to hit stocks with high volumes (like Bank of America & others) to protect against this.
thanks for pointing out the need for clarification.
Y, granted. I don't think there's any such thing as a fundamentalist skeptic!
I'm a TA skeptic, but as a general rule, I keep an open mind about everything.
What does your (or anyone's) read of the technicals tell you to expect for XIN in the near term, up or down? How much up or down and how soon?
Those are honest questions, not aggressive ones. My main problem with TA is that it's great at telling us what already happened, but tends to fuzz up its future predictions so much that they become worthless, often by not applying time limits to its predictions (XIN to $10 isn't a useful prediction if the timeframe is sometime in the next hundred years).
TA can't predict the future. Sorry :)
However, what it can do is identify classical charting patterns that can indicate good low-risk entry, or exit, points, as well as indicate likely levels of resistance/support.
For example, the 2.65 level was indicated as a key target for the completion of the inverse head and shoulders, and then, once broken, helped to identify other fibonacci levels that were helpful in determining where buyers and sellers would take over. See the following posts.
TA is more important now than before as 70% of the volume traded is done by computers/algos. Although fundamental factors can certainly be built into them, technical indicators probably take a lead. If they point down, robots will look to sell.
Those are the type of posts we need facts charts. So thank you for that, but one question on the interpretation I think the chart indicates the stock should head to 3.90 am I correct?
It should at some point but the trendline to 3.9 has been broken for now.
Look back at this old post from some longer-term scenarios for more upside. This is all purely speculative right now, we will have to see what happens with today's close and then over the next few days.
Good stuff and thank you. A good close would certainly help. Given the lack of news, this appears to just be a good time to play the technicals on this stock.

China's Twitter-like micro-blogging service Weibo filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday to offer 20 million American Depository Shares at a price of $17 to $19 each, in an initial public offering (IPO) that could raise as much as $380 million. The move values the company at about $3.9 billion after its IPO, a smaller number than anticipated by some market participants.
Weibo is owned by Sina Corp and has around 130 million active users per month. Some analysts estimated that the company was worth $5 million to $6 million. According to Sina Finance, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. purchased an 18 percent stake in Weibo from Sina last year, and valued Weibo at $5.86 billion.
The deflated IPO price comes at a time when the micro-blogging service is thought to be losing users to mobile messenger service WeChat, owned by Tencent Holdings, according to reports by the Wall Street Journal.
Despite the smaller number, however, some analysts predict that Weibo's devalued IPO would give investors a more comfortable entry point at purchasing shares.
Weibo will list its common stock on the Nasdaq with the ticker "WB" instead of "SINAWB." The move aims to show that its parent company Sina is focusing heavily on its micro-blogging service.
Advertising and marketing revenue for Weibo nearly tripled to $148.42 million last year. And its total revenue increased from $65.9 million to $188.3 million in 2013.
Weibo is expected to go public this month. After the offering, Sina will hold 56.9 percent of Weibo, while Alibaba will see its stake rise to 32 percent.

The most populous and widely distributed species of Mediterranean tortoises is Testudo (graeca) ibera Pallas 1814, which occurs from the Republic of Georgia, Bulgaria, North-eastern Greece, throughout Turkey (with the exception of the Black Sea coast), Iran, Syria, Iraq and Jordan. A single specimen has been recorded in Northern Israel. Although Robert Mertens in his 1946 paper considered Testudo ibera a subspecies of the North African T. graeca this was on the basis of a small number of specimens (23 in all, 13 ibera and 10 miscellaneous North African 'graeca' complex). This author takes the view that Mertens' hypothesis is invalid on a number of grounds and that Testudo ibera* is a full and biologically separate species from the North African graeca - as indeed it was so designated when first described and named by Pallas in 1814.
Specimens of ibera from higher altitudes tend to exhibit melanistic scute markings, often with a complete absence of the central areola and anterior banding typical of the species. On occasions, entirely black specimens are found. This can be an effect of age, but self-evidently young melanistic animals are frequently encountered in some locations. In the extreme south of Turkey, in the hills of Antakya (Antioch) and extending into Syria (Aleppo), brightly marked yellow colored specimens are commonly seen. The areas where these tortoises occur are typically extremely hot in summer, and it may be that the differences in coloration noted assist the animal in thermal regulation, preventing overheating. By comparison, tortoises from high altitudes, where temperatures are lower, may find that their dark coloration is a more efficient heat absorber for basking purposes. On the topic of color, it is worth noting that some populations include individuals of differing shades - from normal to very dark. It should also be noted that juveniles are almost always more brightly colored than adults within the same population.
Basoglu and Baran (1977) have suggested that intergrades between T. (graeca) ibera and T. graeca terrestris occur in Turkey. I examined tortoises at one site where these supposed intergrades occur, the coastal town of Kas. This is an interesting site, in that it consists of a low lying isthmus and lagoon area, backed up by steep and impenetrable cliffs on all sides. The ground is extremely rocky and consists mostly of loose scree covered by coarse and thorny shrubs including gorse and Kermes oak. Finding tortoises in these conditions is far from easy (and frequently painful!). However, a young adult female and well-worn elderly male were eventually located and photographed. In terms of their coloration and markings, both conformed to that typical of T. ibera. There was no evidence of anything unusual at all, other than noting that the adult male was smaller than would be expected given his evident great age (160 mm SCL). This could, however, very easily be attributed to the generally poor food availability in this spartan and arid location. Certainly, this is an inhospitable place for tortoises, and I would estimate the population density in the few remaining undeveloped areas of the bay to be very low.
The average size of adult female T. ibera is about 200 mm SCL, while males are smaller at about 180 mm SCL. In Lycia recently (Fethiye), I encountered one enormous female measuring 290 mm SCL, and two others one measuring 270 mm SCL and one of 280 mm SCL. Large males measuring up to 235 mm SCL were also encountered in this locality. Out of 112 animals recorded during a 1 week survey of the region only 6 exceeded 250 mm SCL and all were female. Most of the larger animals exhibited obvious signs of considerable age, being very battered and worn. One interesting discovery was that of 3 specimens which exhibited divided supracaudal scutes. Previously, this had only been observed in captive specimens (Highfield, 1989).
In the surrounding mountains (Ak Ben Yala), a nesting female was observed at an altitude of 1350 m on an overcast and somewhat cool day. This particular study site is a summer pasture, surrounded by peaks on all sides, but itself gently sloping and lightly populated by a Kermes oak shrubs (Quercus coccifera) which with their sharp, spiny leaves are much favored by the tortoises for constructing their overnight scrapes beneath. From these scrapes, which are used by several tortoises alternately, very clear 'tortoise trails' can frequently been seen in the surrounding vegetation. The natural food plants of this tortoise, which is an exclusive herbivore, include vetches, dandelions, mallows, and numerous species of the Leguminosae family.
In coastal Turkey during spring, daytime activity typically begins at 8:30-9:30 a.m. when tortoises emerge from their overnight scrapes. Depending upon prevailing weather conditions, the next hour or so is spent basking. This is often accomplished by the tortoise bracing at an angle against a convenient rock. During basking the legs and head are typically fully extended to increase the area of exposure to the sun. Most tortoises bask within a 1 meter radius of their overnight scrape. By 10:30 a.m. most tortoises are actively grazing, an activity which continues intermittently until about 7:00 pm. In the heat of summer, mid-day activity is much reduced however. From about 8:00 pm. tortoises are beginning to return to their overnight scrapes, but on dull and cold days this may occur much earlier. The same scrape is not necessarily used each night by an individual, tortoises apparently using whatever existing scrapes happen to be closest to their grazing area at close of day or creating a new one. Most of the scrapes I observed were well used, suggesting that the same scrape is used by several tortoises in succession. This was confirmed by carefully monitoring specific scrapes over several days. This behavior pattern is fairly typical of tortoises throughout the country, but the precise times of day of rising and retiring do vary considerably with altitude, weather and season.
The eggs of T. ibera are large compared to those of North African T. graeca and are oval rather than spherical. Each egg typically measures some 36 x 30 mm and clutch density is typically 6-8, although large females may produce 12 or more eggs. The hatchlings measure about 33 mm in length and weigh approximately 13 g. Eggs are laid from May-June and the first hatchlings usually emerge with the beginning of the autumn rains in August-September. By October-November both adults and hatchlings are entering hibernation. Tortoises dig in for hibernation under large rocks, or under the same shrubs employed for overnight scrapes.
In the ruins of the Lycean cities of Xanthos and Kaunos many tortoises were encountered where they were generally well hidden amid the ancient stones and were effectively invisible to all but the most eagle-eyed of tourists. The ordinary Turkish people tend to look somewhat kindly on tortoises, considering it extremely bad luck to kill one. Road traffic does account for some mortalities, but many drivers do seem to take avoiding action. Wandering tortoises are not considered as agricultural pests, but rather as harbingers of good luck and fecundity to the land. Turkey almost certainly has one of the largest and most secure tortoise populations of any Mediterranean country, and I was especially encouraged to find a healthy number of both juveniles and animals of extreme old age. This is an excellent indicator that Testudo ibera in Turkey is not under any immediate threat - a very different picture from that which I have encountered in North Africa, where isolated and fragmented populations of tortoises are struggling hard to survive massive habitat destruction and the devastating effects of 50 years of large-scale trade collecting, only recently ceased.

Milwaukee schoolteachers get People magazine award
Educators leading a Milwaukee south side elementary school showing impressive results with poor and Hispanic students have been selected by People magazine as among the nation's best teachers.
The Teachers of the Year award announced last week by the magazine — better known for featuring post-baby celebrity bodies than the triumphs of high-poverty schools — is a big victory for ALBA School, a bilingual K-5 elementary school at 1712 S. 32nd St.
The three co-founding teachers — Brenda Martinez, Radames Galarza and Elissa Guarnero — won the award as a team.
Having no principal is key for the teacher-led program, said Martinez, who splits major administrative duties with Galarza and Guarnero. All three teach full time or part time.
"The result is that when a decision needs to be made, the individuals making it are the teachers themselves, so there's much more buy-in with carrying out those decisions in the classroom," Martinez said.
ALBA is a charter school in Milwaukee Public Schools that employs district staff. It started about a decade ago and now has 410 students.
The school's annual achievement scores in reading are well below average, reflecting the fact that two out of three students are learning English and just about everyone is low-income and Hispanic.
Test scores rising
But where the school shines is in increasing test scores and helping students catch up to the reading and math levels you'd see from a typical white child in a Wisconsin school.
That's known as closing the racial achievement gap, and the latest round of Wisconsin school report cards shows that ALBA is doing it far more effectively than the average school.
The school was ranked as "exceeding expectations" on its 2012-'13 report card.
Martinez, Galarza and Guarnero started the school because they wanted a program that would celebrate students' backgrounds, and that spirit underscores their parent-involvement efforts. It's not uncommon for the school to see close to 100% attendance at parent-teacher conferences.
People magazine established a committee to select the Teachers of the Year from a pool of self-nominated entries, which also had to submit letters of recommendation, Martinez said.
Magazine representatives are scheduled to come to the school Nov. 1 to present the teachers with a check for $4,000, she added.
They intend to put the award toward fixing the school's playground, where some of the cracks in the asphalt are so big you can put your foot through them.
"It will barely make a dent in what we need to fund — we have no tot lot, no green space and no trees — but it's still great," Martinez said.

This is real close to what I have eaten all my life thanks for adding.
The seasoning is spot on but the recipe is off unless you like to have seasoned cornbread soup. It was way too liquid and that was even adding three to four slices of bread to it. Complete waste of time and ingredients.
