Minister Of Canadian Heritage
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Hamilton East
Sheila Copps Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, it is ironic. I thought that in light of the fact that the member and his colleagues have not hestitated from associating themselves with any reception he might have hung his head in shame.
He made a reference yesterday to so-called MP junkets. I took the time to do a bit of research. The member who decried that we had approximately 20 young wheelchair athletes aged 14 and 15 at this reception is the same member who took a trip to Cambridge, England, Oslo, Norway, Tromso, Norway, Stockholm, Sweden, Copenhagen, Denmark.
I checked today on the business class ticket price, which is $5,000.
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of aboriginal affairs and has to do with concerns expressed in northern Manitoba, particularly in the riding of Churchill, with respect to funding that was promised for housing. The minister knows this is a concern.
Could he tell the House and the people of northern Manitoba, particularly in the aboriginal communities, when that promised money will be forthcoming? Will there be an announcement in the next little while regarding how this funding will be forthcoming and how it will be received?
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Sault Ste. Marie
Ron Irwin Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his interest in aboriginal peoples which has been consistent.
I do not have the exact details because it is based on formula, but I will get them after question period and give them to the hon. member.
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Stan Dromisky Thunder Bay—Atikokan, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct my question to the hon. Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
The minister today tabled a 1996 annual report to Parliament on ministerial permits. Could the minister inform the House on how these numbers compare to those of previous years? What assurance could the minister give Canadians that these permits are being used responsibly?
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Lucienne Robillard Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
Mr. Speaker, last year we issued fewer ministerial permits than the year before, fewer than ever before. There was a 27 per cent reduction.
We are achieving the goal of controlling the immigration program more efficiently. Ministerial permits allow people who would otherwise not be admissible to Canada to come in under specific circumstances or for specific reasons. Each case is looked at very seriously.
The safety and security of Canadians remain the priority in the final decision.
Points Of Order
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of personal privilege. During question period the Deputy Prime Minister showed very poor taste in her comments.
If she were to check further she would find that the trip she mentioned was not paid for by the Canadian taxpayers in any way.
I could provide the House with that evidence at a later date.

The committee reports the same.
Privacy Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Brenda Chamberlain Guelph—Wellington, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-405, an act to amend the Privacy Act.
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill which seeks to amend the Privacy Act to allow parents and legal guardians the right to contact the RCMP for disclosure of whether or not an individual in trust or authority has been convicted of a previous offence, including sexual interference and incest.
The legislation is introduced following a tragic situation in my riding of Guelph-Wellington where a child was molested by an individual who had a previous conviction. The child's mother was unable to obtain any information regarding the individual. Parents must have access to prior records to ensure that this kind of situation cannot happen again.
The legislation is about access that will give our children much needed protection. Society must do all it can to prevent incidents of child abuse. I hope that my private member's bill will be another important step in the protection of our children.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Madam Speaker, I beg the indulgence of the House. I have quite a few petitions which I have grouped into several categories.
I am overwhelmed by the show of public support for my parental rights Motion No. 300. In just a few months I have received 41 petitions with 940 signatures which I am pleased to present to the House today.
The petitioners draw attention to their concerns that the government has used the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to create legislation, programs and bureaucracy which undermine the fundamental rights and freedoms of parents.
These concerned Canadians request that Parliament support Motion No. 300 which would add parental rights and responsibilities to section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Madam Speaker, the next group of petitions I am pleased to rise today to present are signed by concerned citizens across Canada.
They oppose the inclusion of the phrase sexual orientation in the Canadian Human Rights Act. These Canadians believe that freedom from discrimination is already protected in the human rights act without this amendment.

A boost to Hope Village
A large contribution to Hope Village will assist the ongoing flood recovery work in the Minot area.
The Evangelical?Lutheran Church in America Disaster Response provided $108,000 to Hope Village on Monday, bringing the total that ECLA Disaster Response has contributed to Hope Village to an astounding $700,000. Officials said the money will be used to cover expenses of staff and facilities while the massive volunteer effort continues.
Volunteers have been in Minot for months helping flood victims restore their homes to livable conditions. The volunteers are organized by officials at Hope Village, where they are also housed and fed while they are in the area. The volunteers have come from all across the country, and have helped numerous flooded families recover from the disastrous 2011 Souris River flood. And now, with the help of another $108,000 donation, that work will continue.
The projects done by those working through Hope Village have made an enormous difference in the lives of Minot residents battling back from the flood. It's a huge undertaking, one that could not be accomplished without willing volunteers and funding to cover the expense of housing and feeding the many volunteers.

Living on Cash to Avoid Debt?
By Ellen Chang
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--Living on cash has several distinct advantages for consumers who are seeking to slash their budgets by spending less and saving more money.
Using only cash or debit cards to pay for your expenses is becoming more popular as consumers are shying away from amassing large amounts of credit card debt and accruing interest.
Creating a budget that eliminates all non-essential expenses and evaluating it weekly helps consumers get started with this option, said Rakesh Gupta, a professor in the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y.
Heeding the rule of paying yourself first is also critical, he said.
"This means setting aside a tangible sum, say 10% of each paycheck in savings or investments, before spending it," said Gupta.
Before you stop using credit cards completely, it is a good idea to set aside at least six months of savings and the cost of any potential repairs or emergencies, said Mike Sullivan, chief education officer for Take Charge America, a national non-profit credit financial education and counseling agency based in Phoenix, Ariz.
"The big advantage is you are never going to be in debt," he said. "It's a wonderful thing. A lot of people don't have the discipline and need to try this. It is a good alternative."
Paying for expenses only with cash is becoming a growing trend, but some people were forced into this choice when credit became tight and obtaining debt became difficult.
"We have just gone through an age whose hallmark was instant gratification, and the financial system made it possible through easy credit," Gupta said. "The result was mounting consumer debt to the point that people had negative savings. Then the financial crisis hit and easy credit dried up."
Eliminating or decreasing the use of credit cards can easily enforce a consumer to save more, Gupta said.
"If people begin to live within their means, with the provision for some savings, then over time those savings will accumulate," he said.
Boosting your savings is becoming more popular in this economy, Gupta said. For the first time in many years, consumer debt has declined and the savings rate has increased. According to the NY Federal Reserve, U.S. household debt had declined from $12.68 trillion in 2008 to $11.34 trillion in 2012, he said.

After about one week of halted shipments, partners of Intel Corp. intend to resume shipments of personal computers based on Intel Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" microprocessors which designs are not impacted by chipset flaw. Intel will also resume shipments of its chipsets to those makers, who can guarantee the lack of core-logic-related issues.
Last week Intel revealed that Serial ATA-300 controllers of its 6-series chipsets contain an erratum, which may eventually lead to performance degradation of storage equipment. Since modern chipsets support many Serial ATA ports and SATA-600 controllers of the 6-series chipsets are not impacted, it should be possible to use those core-logic sets inside notebooks since such systems contain just one or two Serial ATA-based devices. Moreover, desktop system makers may also disable faulty SATA-300 ports and install an add-on Serial ATA card to provide necessary amount of storage ports. As a result, end-users' experience with PCs will not be compromised provided that computer manufacturers take care of this.
"Intel subsequently initiated extensive discussions with computer makers about this topic. [...]As a result of these discussions and specific requests from computer makers, Intel is resuming shipments of the Intel 6-series chipset for use only in PC system configurations that are not impacted by the design issue," Intel said in a statement.
In parallel, Intel has started manufacturing on a new version of this support chip. Intel now expects to begin shipping the new parts in mid February.
This resumption of shipments of the Intel 6-series chipset is not changing the company's updated first quarter 2011 and full-year financial outlook published on January 31st, 2011.

Topic: open/closed threads?
I've noticed over the past few months that the support forum is getting crowded and messages are getting lost. Any thought to having the ability to close out a thread once the "solution" is reached? That way those trying to help (which I try to do), can filter out those who's problems are solved and those who are still looking for support.
Just a thought.

Leucorrhea is a thick, whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge, it is a natural defense mechanism to maintain chemical balance of vagina as well as to preserve the flexibility of the vaginal tissue, it is normal discharge but if the amount of discharge is increase with foul smell it is due to vaginal infection or sexual transmitted disease. In pregnancy or before menses leucorrhea is normal!

Hello Lybrate Users,
I am posting on this topic as many of users have been asking on the same issue.
1. It has nice taste.
2. Freshness lasts longer.
3. Has good antibacterial property of neem and turmeric.
4. Its soothing action on the cavities and gums.
5. Minimum side effects.
1. It cannot be an alternative to dental treatment as it cannot reverse progression of disease of gums or cavities.

Inflammation in the body is characterized by swollen, red, painful, and even warm skin. Inflammation can occur as acute or chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation occurs immediately and only lasts temporarily. If the culprit is not identified and the issue resolved, the inflammation may become chronic (long-lasting). Psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis are examples of chronic inflammation, being a result of hyperactivity of theimmune system.
Top rich natural anti inflammatory herbs that fight inflammation.
Inflammation, especially chronic inflammation, can be extremely painful and uncomfortable and will lead sufferers to seek a remedy immediately. Fortunately, there are some natural remedies found in herbs that help treat this inflammation.
1. Turmeric
There is a substance within the herb turmeric called curcurmin which is known to be effective in treating swelling and joint pain. According to some studies, the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are very similar to the capabilities of motrin and similar medicines that are taken to reduce inflammation. Furthermore, studies have shown that turmeric can reduce pain associated with inflammation. It is important to note that turmeric should not be consumed by pregnant or lactating women or those with gallstones or bile duct problems.
2. Ginger
This herb has long been used throughout asia, and especially india, to help treat pain and inflammation. Studies support this belief, showing that a majority of test subjects experience relief from pain and other inflammation-related symptoms after consuming ginger. You can simply incorporate more ginger into your diet, or opt for a ginger supplement, being sure to read the directions for proper dosage.
3. Licorice
No, this is not the red licorice you're probably thinking of, but rather the herb in its purest form. This herb is not only an effective anti-inflammatory, but also an effective anti-depressant and anti-fungal herb. Licorice can easily be added to meat, vegetables, tea, or pastries. Studies support the anti-inflammatory properties of licorice; however, it should be noted that licorice should not be taken in excess.
4. Basil
Basil is probably one of the most popular herbs and easiest to add to your diet for treatment of inflammation. Basil works in the same way as ibuprofen and similar medications in that it inhibits a particular enzyme related to inflammation.
5. Rosemary
Rosemary is rich in flavonoids and a powerful tonic, making it especially useful for use as an anti-inflammatory. Studies suggest that consuming rosemary extract can help protect cellular membranes from inflammation. While it should not be used in excess by pregnant women or those with low iron, rosemary is a great-tasting herb that is easy to incorporate into your diet to help deal with inflammation.
6. Garlic
Garlic is great for your health for a variety of reasons, and fighting inflammation is just one of its many benefits. Garlic is so powerful it can help treat sinus infections, colds, and even hypertension. Working similarly to penicillin, garlic works by altering cytokines, which cause inflammation. You can easily incorporate garlic into your diet, or opt for odorless garlic capsules if you don't like the smell.
7. Cayenne
If you can handle the flavor, cayenne pepper is excellent in treating inflammation. Its efficacy is in large part due to the high amounts of calcium, potassium, b complex and vitamin c, all of which assist in the reduction of inflammation. You may have heard of capsaicin before, which is the main active ingredient in cayenne; capsaicin has been shown to help reduce inflammation in the body.
8. Ceylon cinnamon
Not only is it delicious, but cinnamon is also an effective anti-inflammatory herb. Studies support that connection between cinnamon consumption and a reduction of inflammation. Avoid taking it in high amounts, but otherwise cinnamon has very few side effects. It is easy to add to your coffee, tea, oatmeal, cereal, pastries, and more.
9. Saw palmetto
Saw palmetto is an effective digestive aid and appetite stimulant, in addition to its abilities to boost the metabolism. Most importantly, saw palmetto is also effective in treating inflammation throughout the body, even utis and testicular inflammation. You can easily get saw palmetto (capsules, berries, extract) online or your local health food store.
Additional herbs that help treat inflammation on a smaller scale include ashwagandha, arnica, gotu kola, slippery elm, nutmeg and black pepper. Whether you experience chronic inflammation or are dealing with inflammation as a temporary reaction to a stimulant, the herbs mentioned above are extremely useful in reducing your inflammation and the pain, discomfort, and other side effects that come with it.
Tofu is produced using soybean drain and appears to be like paneer. Though paneer can be effectively be made at home by souring milk, planning of tofu is not as basic. The complicated procedure of making tofu makes it rich in certain nutrients and protein and successfully helps in warding off illnesses like cancer. Here is how paneer and tofu are different:
Protein content: Paneer is an astonishing source of protein for vegetarians. 100 grams of paneer contains 18 grams of protein, which makes it an astounding source of protein for vegans. It is also perfect for individuals on a weight loss diet or those who want to develop muscles. Tofu then again has just seven grams of protein as it is produced using soy drain.
Fat substance: Although paneer is referred to be a weight reduction agent and it also keeps you full for quite a while, the fat per 100 grams of paneer is 20 grams, which rate higher than tofu as it just contains 2.5 grams of fat for each 100 grams. Tofu makes a great alternative for paneer for someone who is on a weight reduction spree, without compromising on the taste.
Calories: Paneer is high on calories when compared with tofu. A 100 gram serving of paneer has 265 calories, while tofu just has 62 calories. This again shows its potential as a perfect weight reduction food.
Calcium content: Tofu is additionally known to be a rich source of calcium. However, it neglects to beat paneer in this specific situation. A 100 gram serving of paneer has 200 grams of calcium, while tofu contains 130 milligrams of calcium, thereby making paneer more valuable to gain solid bones and teeth.
Press content: Tofu is rich in iron, while paneer has less iron. Iron is basic to keep up the blood hemoglobin levels and tofu can be incorporated into the eating routine by somebody who experiences paleness.
Which is more beneficial?
With regards to the healthful data of both tofu and paneer, it appears that paneer can be substituted with tofu for somebody on a weight reduction routine. Maintaining distance from paneer totally would not be possible due to its other medical advantages like high protein and calcium content. Utilization of paneer with some restraint is better over totally disregarding it. Diabetics could change to tofu from paneer because of the starch content, although consulting a specialist before doing this is important. After comparing tofu and paneer, it is evident that those who do not look forward to losing weight and want to live a vegan life can go ahead and opt for tofu. However, paneer is a much healthier choice.

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a surgical process for examining different kinds of organs present in the abdomen. It is a low-risk and minimally invasive process in which just a small incision is made. This allows the doctor to evaluate the conditions of your abdominal organs without opting for an open surgery. It's mostly performed when the patient complains of pain in the pelvic region and when other assessing methods have failed to detect the reason behind the pain and discomfort.
How is laparoscopy done?
The laparoscope is a slim and well-lit telescope that allows your doctor to evaluate the conditions of various organs in your body. It can help in determining whether there is any instance of fibroid or endometriosis. It can help in performing a variety of surgeries like removal of ovarian cysts, hysterectomy and tubal ligation. This surgery involves much lesser healing time compared to other elaborate surgeries.
Why should you go for laparoscopy?
Your gynaecologist may recommend you to get a laparoscopy for a treatment or for diagnosis. It is mostly performed due to unexplained pelvic ache, infertility and a history of pelvic infection. Laparoscopy is also performed for the diagnosis of conditions such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic pus or abscess, ectopic pregnancy, painful scar, inflammatory disease in the pelvic region and reproductive cancers.
How to prepare for gynaecological laparoscopy?
Your gynaecologist would ask you to prepare for the laparoscopy test on the basis of the type of surgery. Your doctor would ask you about the medication you take, which would include health supplements and over-the-counter medications and in certain cases you may have to stop certain medications. This process is performed under anaesthesia and you would be able to go home on the same day. The following process depends on the type of process. The diagnosis process is completed faster than the surgical process in which an incision is required to be made. The instrument would be inserted through the incision and then the surgery is executed by inserting the laparoscope tool. Once the process is completed, all the tools are removed from the body and the incision would be closed with stitches and the affected area would be bandaged.
In recent times, the laparoscopic process has advanced to a great extent and robotic surgery is often used for performing the surgical process. This is because it has been proven that robotic hands are steadier than human hands and can perform fine manipulations effortlessly.

In a moment of either weakness or inspiration I ordered half a dozen different Shui Xian teas. I have been trying them out (first 2) with mixed results and may get round to sharing my notes soon after trying some of the helpful brewing guidelines offered on recent posts.
Meanwhile I have been trying to fathom out the complex details about Shui Xian.
Here follows what I think I have learned, can anyone add to, clarify or dispel from what I now think!
Shui Xian often called Shui Hsien there are a few others but these are the 2 most common
Frequently translated as Water Sprite, Water Fairy or Narcissus.
"A Passage To Chinese Tea" (book I purchased from TeaCuppa) summarises Shui Xian as being one of 4 type
Fujian Wuyi - here the Shui Xian trees will be grown in the Wuyi Yan Cha style
Fujian Min Bei - here the Shui Xian trees will be grown Bush style
Fujian Min Nan - Se Zhong Shui Xian or plain Shui Xian
Guangdong - Feng Huang Shui Xian
Yan Cha style trees have been described as being pruned to have large single trunks bearing several branches with a few large leaves – and the alternate Min Bei Style as having a more bushy effect with many trunks and numerous branches bearing a profusion of small leaves.
Northern Fujian is called Min Bei province.
Shui Xian in the central Wuyi Shan area will be grown Yan Cha style (less leaf per tree), more careful selection of leaf, and artisan crafting in the making and roasting will result in higher prices that should demand a higher quality product. It will almost certainly have words such as Wuyi or Yan Cha in the name to indicate why that price is being charged.
Shui Xian grown on the periphery of the Wuyi Shan area, or from young and/or bushy trees may try and command higher prices and may misleadingly include descriptive terms like Wuyi that are misleading.
Shui Xian grown just outside the Wuyi Shan area – OR anywhere in Min Bei province can legitimately be called Min Bei Shui Xian if the trees have been grown in the Min Bei style.
The Shui Xian variety though not as highly esteemed as the famous 4 Si Da Min Cong, or Rou Gui, or a few other highly praised cultivars is DEFINITELY thought of as a producer of very good tea when grown in the right location and grown and made into tea by craftsmen. It is also very easy to take cuttings and produce new trees / bushes which is why it can be found throughout Fujian and Guangdong and elsewhere in Chinese tea provinces.
The problem is that it can also be very prolific, and at the expense of some quality it has been massively propagated and become the mainstay of the bulk market, particularly the overseas Chinese restaurant trade. Affordable tea at (as far as accompanying a Chines meal) acceptable quality.
Many tea bushes throughout Min Bei – away from the Wuyi Shan area – are dedicated for the production of ultra cheap tea and Shui Xian is the favoured choice of many tea producers.
Southern Fujian is called Min Nan province and it has it's prestige tea growing area Anxi County and it's own paramount tea Ti Kuan Yin, but a second tier of Quality teas referred to as Se Zhong are made from Se Zhong varieties either blended together to provide a required end product or made as a Se Zhong varietal tea. Shui Xian is one of the 11 or 12 recognised Se Zhong varieties. Outside Anxi county. Min Nan oolongs may also be made from Shui Xian bushes. Min Nan Shui Xian - according to a google translated page from Chinese of a Taiwanese Shui Xien – says that Min Nan Shui Xian will be of a lighter greener fragrant style)
Taiwan uses Shui Xian bushes to produce it's Narcissus teas, but these are based on the min Nan style of Shui Xian Oolong. It is almost impossible to find anyone supplying these for export, and appears to be for (cheap) local Taiwanese consumption and may even have real Narcissus flowers added. Certain Taiwanese roasters appear to import Shui Xian leaves from Wuyi and roast them themselves. Shui Xian is the name of a water deity much celebrated in Taiwan and may be part of the reason so much talk is made of Taiwan Narcissus teas in non tea blogs, yet there does not seem to be any available on the Internet market, not even sure if it's true. Shui Xian is apparently also the Chinese name for the Narcissus plant.
Guang Dong – Feng Huang
Apart from the expected tradition of being more specific about the ingredients in a product the higher the quality it does seem that when called Feng Huang Shui Xian it is a common or garden quality tea, probably made from bushes of the Min Bei type, but turned into tea in the Phoenix style. If it is further described as Lao Cong or Dan Cong then the tree is more likely to tend to the Yan Cha growing style - an older tree, with a single trunk and fewer leaves.
Tea Obsession
http://tea-obsession.blogspot.com/2007/ ... tea-2.html
reveals that propogation of tea trees / bushes in Guangdong was until fairly recently done by planting the seeds of the parent tree which results in entirely different cultivars to the parent tree. So Shui Xian from Guangdong has no resemblance to the Shui Xian of Wuyi. Shui Xian is the lowest of 3 categories of tea in Feng Huang (Shui Xian, Lang Cai, Dan Cong) and will mix the less choice leaves (or even less choice Trees) which will be mixing leaves from different cultivars. Hence the use of Dan Cong (Single Bush) for the premium quality Feng Huang teas, where the leaves of only 1 cultivar are used. Today however cloning by taking cuttings is firmly established in Feng Huang ensuring constancy and allowing Dan Cong tea to be made from more than 1 actual bush.
Tea obsession's blog of the previous days give fascinating insight into the significance of 'Wu Dong' mountain and the origin of the names
'Phoenix' – 'Feng Huang'
'Bird's Beak'
'Song Zhong'

At the Grand Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg, chef de cuisine Christoph Rüffer constructs subtle, finely balanced flavour combinations in Restaurant Haerlin, which was awarded two Michelin stars in November 2011.
In recent years, the grand old Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg is where Essen-born Christoph Rüffer has been honing his style and developing his own interpretation of classic-based modern cuisine. Rüffer constructs his plates with great precision, contextualising every texture to perfection and allowing the flavours to develop in exciting and unexpected ways. He painstakingly spins concentric circles of flavour around the focal point of a dish, often working with acidic accents and adding surprising little nuances which are the hallmark of his cuisine. His dishes shine the spotlight on the interaction of flavours rather than the excellent ingredients.
In his goose liver coral with Périgord truffle ice cream , for example, an intensely delicious red cabbage juice caresses the fundamental goose liver/truffle combination, whilst a perfectly proportioned cinnamon and beurre noisette gel adds aromatic breadth, with the cinnamon note creating an exquisite moment of surprise. His grilled sole retains delectable grilled overtones that are off-set by cucumber structures and harmonise wonderfully with a tamarind & miso hollandaise. Adding a hint of piment d'Espelette to the julienne cucumber's crème fraîche filling is a Rüffer masterstroke.
Dining at the Haerlin is a refined, modern experience that blends perfectly with the restaurant's increasingly relaxed ambience and is enhanced by a professional and dedicated service team.

Hortensia's Best-Ever Chocolate Pound Cake
Recipe courtesy of LATIN FLAVORS ON THE GRILL by Douglas Rodriguez (Ten Speed Press, 2000); Photograph by Rodney Weidland
- Unsalted butter, at room temperature (but still firm), to brush pan
- 1/4 cup sugar, to line pan
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened Van Leer Dutch process medium cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons espresso extract (or substitute 2 teaspoons instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon buttermilk)
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- Cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar, to finish
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Brush a 10-inch Bundt pan with the room-temperature (but still firm) unsalted butter. Pour 1/2 cup sugar into the pan, swirling the sugar in the pan so that the chimney and sides are covered well. Turn the pan upside down to remove any excess sugar and set aside.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter on medium speed. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beating at medium speed, add the eggs, one by one, beating only until they are well blended.
Beating on low speed, add a third of the flour mixture and a third of the buttermilk. Do this twice more with the remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula in between. Finally, beat the batter on medium speed for 30 seconds, until it is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top feels springy and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Then turn it out onto the wire rack to finish cooling.
To finish, dust the cake with cocoa or confectioners' sugar.

UMES Drama Society in production for fall play
PRINCESS ANNE, MD-(Oct. 17, 2013) When Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson and her theater troupe returned from a National Association of Dramatic and Speech Arts competition in Baltimore, they came back knowing exactly which piece they wanted to take on for their fall play.
"Miss Evers' Boys" won first place in a one-act play contest that Dameron-Johnson was moderating. "I was impressed they could condense it into a 60 minute short," she said.
The university's adaptation, performed in two acts, is based on the 1992 stage play written by David Feldshuh. A 1997 TV film version for HBO won Emmy Awards in four categories.
The play will be performed by university students and administrators at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 and 2 in the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts. It tells the real-life drama of poor black men in Tuskegee, Ala., who were part of a secret medical experiment conducted by the federal government.
"Students in the cast are amazed that something like this really happened," Dameron-Johnson said. "We are revealing a part of history through enactment of a play to an audience for whom many of which may have known nothing about the incident. It shows that sometimes it is wise to question, even if it is the government."
Tickets are available at the door. General admission tickets are $5; seniors, $4; and students with ID, $2. Opening night will feature a cast and audience forum at the close of curtain. Call 410-651-6575 for more information.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Loved it,In full: Lovely course a 5 mile lap followed by 3 x 15ish mile lap around the reservoir.Really friendly organiser, fellow competitors were brilliant, a good first Ultra that I would really recommend to first timers as you have your own car that you can get to at the end of each 15m lap.It's on road and gentle trails, a couple of km are really stony, a set of steps that you have to go up and down 4 times. I loved it.Yes it's one of my all time favourite races, it's also my first ultra. So I admit that i'm a little biased, but I loved it :)13 hour limit in 2013 for the 50 miler.Date of review: November 1, 2013
In short: My 2nd mara. I was near the back and had no problems at all, seems there was a bit of a scramble for the quick runners. I enjoyed it.Date of review: May 6, 2013
In short: My First. I'll never forget it. All the Marshalls were brilliantIn full: My first Marathon, in fact my first race.You start in the heart of the city. At the top of a hill in Victoria Park sweep down around the edge of the town, then onto some big roads, then after about 6 miles the half splits off back into the town, and the full then does a 13.1M loop through the countryside through some small towns with lots of people cheering you in the towns, and quiet inbetween. Then after this extra (completely different 13.1M loop) you then come back to where you were at 6M and continue down the same route the half marathoners took a bit earlier and you go through a couple of parks and back into the edge of Leicester, then through the main shopping streets, then the only really steep bit of the race is a slog up the hill you came down initially back to Victoria Park. It's hard this hill right a the end but I found it fun. I was going to struggle at the end whatever the terrain, so why not go uphill. Then you have a flat 200m dash to the finish.It was great everyone was so helpful, in the quiet bits you need the marshalls otherwise you would get lost but they have it covered. Oh... and after about 15 miles there is a drink stop outside a village hall where two very nice ladies were looking after the village hall loos, and making them lovely and clean for us to use. I was dreading messy loos and these were spotless. Love the whole thing will be back next year.Date of review: October 14, 2012

Does the dough calculator work for this formula and method(Steve's)?
Dwight,You can use the expanded dough calculating tool since it includes shortening among the possible ingredients.Peter
Don, that pep pie looks DEELICIOUS! Great flakey layering!
Thanks Todd, it was DEELICIOUS! This was my first attempt at making a cracker-style crust and I was very happy with the result. I was surprised that with basically just flour and water such layering and flakiness could be achieved. I always thought that it would take lamination, which would be way more work than I'm willing to do.NY-style is still my preference, but it doesn't get any easier than this for a quick last minute pizza.
In general, shortening can be substituted on an equal-weight basis for oil in a dough recipe. Margarine, like butter, contains some water, and usually one might want to adjust the formula hydration to compensate for the water content of the margarine or butter. Even then, some tweaking of the hydration may be needed, just as Don mentioned.Peter
How much of a flavor and performance difference would there be in this recipe changing shortening for oil? Shortening is used a lot in baking to create a flaky crust. Does oil have those same properties?

well mix the Crisco into the flour before the water is added. I'm interested in hearing others experiences here...?
I tried this recipe last night and I was shocked how good it came out. I just threw all 4 ingredients into the bowl of my KitchenAid stand mixer and ran it for approximately 5 minutes. I didn't think about mixing the shortening into the flour before adding the water and the salt. Next time I will try doing that using a pastry cutter that I use when making pie crust. The texture and the air pockets were great. The first one I made had more bubbles and I assume because I didn't dock it as heavily as the second one I made. I pre-baked them before I loaded them.Something else new to my experience I purchased a PizzaQue stone for my BBQ. I use hardwood lump charcoal and did it make a DEELICIOUS flavor.
I will definetly second that....she's a bella for sure-ah! Skillfully topped pizza pie.
Wonder why the thin crust is almost lost to time?
rpmfla,Your Steve's quick an easy looks great!I'm really interested in what you feel is the difference between this and the old school PH T&C....I do agree with you that (and this isn't it). Thanks

Short Sellers See Upside For These 5 Buy Rated Stocks From UBS
Looking for stocks practically radiating with optimism? One great source for bullish stock ideas comes from sell side analyst ratings. When these bank analysts write a report on a company, and the analyst is reputable, it can have a big effect on the stock price. [More lists: Hedge Funds Are Buying 5 Technically Undervalued And Profitable Stocks ]
With this in mind we ran a screen for stocks with "Buy" ratings from UBS (i.e. analysts at UBS expect these stocks to outperform).
Short Covering
Another great way to see how smart investors feel about a stock is to look at the collective trading activity of short sellers.
We screened the "buy" rated stocks for those with bullish sentiment from short sellers, with significant short covering (decreases in shares shorted) month-over-month. Short sellers earn when share price falls, so a pullback suggest they believe the stock has more upside than downside to price in.
Business Section: Investing Ideas
We combine both bullish signals in making the list below. All 5 stocks that made the list have UBS buy ratings, which have been renewed in the past year, and significant short covering activity month-over-month.
Also of note, analysts on average have a "buy" rating for the stocks on the list. The chart is interactive, press play to see how these ratings have changed over time. Click through to access more research tools.

Tha Academy Garden
Our guesthouse occupies one half of the 'belle etage' or 'piano nobile', the grandest of the four floors at the front of our house. Our accommodation is mostly in the form of sets of rooms (bedroom, living room, and bathroom).
The two front sets (roughly 40 sq. m. and 60 sq.m.) look out over the Academy's garden - a dense wall of greenery in the summer and a delicate tracery of branches, Classical columns, and open space in the winter. These sets are:
a) 'rooms with Dutch stove': two interconnecting rooms with their own bathroom. The first room is really a sitting room and has a single bed; the second has a double bed and a handsome and extremely wide antique desk (perfect place to spread out your books, notes, or artist's sketch pad).
b) the 'Balcony set': this has a drawing room and small library in addition to its bedroom and separate (not ensuite) bathroom; it also has a generous balcony - an ideal place to drink coffee of a morning.
The two rooms at the back of the apartment overlook the courtyard. 'Silver' is a large, light room - a series of spaces which flow into an open bathroom (40 sq.m. in all). 'Lotus' is our smallest room, but again has its own bathroom (about 18 m2 in all).
We offer free breakfast (in our large kitchen / dining room), free Wi-Fi connection, free tea and coffee, but also all the help that you will need in discovering and understanding this extraordinary city.

From Vasileostrovskaya metro station: On coming out of the metro station, turn immediately right onto the pedestrian boulevard (6th/7th lines*) and walk to the next intersection (corner of 5th/6th lines and Bolshoy prospekt), where the boulevard ends. Cross over the road and turn left up Bolshoy prospekt until the next intersection (corner of Bolshoy prospekt and 4th/5th lines). Turn right onto 4th/5th lines. Ours is the first residential building you come to on this street - number 10.
From the airport: First, change a little money at the airport. You'll need 30 or so rubles each for the minibus and 25 rubles each for the metro. Minibuses and buses leave from outside the arrivals building. Almost all services head for Moskovsky prospekt and the centre of town. The word for centre in Russian is 'tsentr'. The bus will take you down a three-lane highway (5 minutes' ride) and then round a large and gloomy square with a forbidding stele in the centre and into a built-up area. This is the beginning (or end) of Moskovsky prospekt, and at this point you should start looking for metro stations. There are three along the length of this avenue and any one of them will do. There's one almost immediately after the square, called Moskovskaya . The others are Park Pobedy . Once inside the metro station, buy some metal tokens at 25 rubles per token (if your baggage is bulky, you'll probably have to buy an extra token for that as well) and take the train to Gostiny dvor where you change and travel one stop along the Green Line to Vasileostrovskaya Then proceed to our house as in the directions above.

ZeniMax Media Inc., parent company of game publisher Bethesda Softworks, on Thursday announced it has completed the acquisition of legendary game studio, id Software. The acquisition by ZeniMax Media joins together two respected video game developers in the world, combining the first person shooter (FPS) expertise of id Software with acclaimed role playing game (RPG) developer Bethesda Game Studios. Bethesda Softworks will publish the titles of id Software other than upcoming releases previously committed to other publishers.
The acquisition of id Software is hardly surprising. The company launches new titles rather rarely and since sales of video games have dropped due to the global economic recession, the amount of resources that id has have decreased and without new titles in sight, the firm might run into a difficult financial situation.
"This was a unique opportunity to team with a smart, sophisticated publisher like Bethesda Softworks where the interests of the studio and the publisher will be fully aligned in the development and marketing of our titles. In addition, we will now have financial and business resources to support the future growth of id Software, a huge advantage which will result in more and even better games for our fans," said Todd Hollenshead, chief executive officer of id Software.
id Software will continue to operate as a studio under the direction of its founder, John Carmack. No changes will be made in the operations of id Software in the development of its games. All the principals at id Software have signed long-term employment contracts, assuring they will continue in their roles developing games at the studio.
"This puts id Software in a wonderful position going forward. We will now be able to grow and extend all of our franchises under one roof, leveraging our capabilities across multiple teams while enabling forward looking research to be done in the service of all of them. We will be bigger and stronger, as we recruit the best talent to help us build the landmark games of the future. As trite as it may be for me to say that I am extremely pleased and excited about this deal, I am," said John Carmack, who will continue to serve in his current role as technical director.

When Google snapped up the British artificial intelligence specialist DeepMind Technologies a few weeks ago for a reported $400m, it wasn't because it was interested in founder Demis Hassibis' excellent game design credentials or chess skills.
It's because the company has long since bet the farm that its future isn't just about finding stuff for you that you want to know, it's working out what you're going to want to know and getting it to you before you know you want to know it.
To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, Google's grand vision is that if it can learn enough about you what you're interested in, there are no more 'known unknowns'.
And Google's not alone. Microsoft's founder Bill Gates has long espoused a similar vision, showing off mock-ups of what that known known world looks like back at CES in 2006. Apple's Siri, on its quest to be the ultimate personal assistant, is a similar endeavour.
But it's Google that's in the news again. Last week it was discovered that the default launcher/home screen for the Nexus 5 is now called 'Google Now', which hints at just how important contextual search is to the future of Android.
And it's not just Android. As far as the online rumour mill knows, Google Now and Siri will be the basis for Google and Apple's smartwatches. That means wrist-sized screens that show you what you need to know, when you need to know it rather than getting bogged down with novelty apps like certain other smartwatches we could mention.
READ MORE: Google Nexus 5 review
That's nice, so how does it work?
The best example is driving directions. If you turn it on, Google Now tracks your location data for a while and tries to learn where you should be. So if it knows that you're usually at work by 9am, it'll start throwing up information about the best route and how long it will take before you need to leave. So you glance at your phone screen – or, in the future, your smartwatch – your best route and time of departure should appear magically in front of your eyes.
That sounds amazing
Well, theoretically it does. Practically, as Google Now users know it doesn't always work like that. The chances are your phone spends the whole day telling you which way to drive home to miss the traffic, right up to the point when you get into the car. Just at the point that you actually need the kinds of hands-free easy access to this information, it'll switch to tell you the best way to get to the restaurant you visited a couple of weekends ago. Or worse, alert you to the fact it's a random stranger's birthday today – which Google thinks is important because you once included them in a Hangout.
That's not good
Let's just say there's still a lot work that needs doing before contextual search replaces traditional search. It's not helped by the fact that anyone you connect with on Google+ automatically gets onto your greetings card list, thus clogging up the data. Hence the investment in AI firms and quantum computers.
Wait a minute, how did you say Google knows where you need to be?
Simple. It's always listening (if you agree to the terms and conditions).Your phone doesn't need you to tell it you're at work – it uses the built-in GPS sensor. Your phone can also tell when you're running thanks to the accelerometer, so another application might be to fire up Zombies, Run! as soon as it detects you jogging.
The future, however, is going to be even more precise. Stores are lining up to sprinkle low energy Bluetooth transceivers all over the place that will work with Apple's iBeacon technology, which will make for precise geo-location indoors as well as out. What's more, because these iBeacons are reprogrammable contextual information no longer needs to be based on simple positioning. You might be reminded that you're running low on beans, for example, as you walk past a pile of tins on special in Asda.
Don't think Android and Windows Phone users (whoever you are) get let off either. Apple's iBeacons aren't the only internet of things tech in town – Philips is looking at putting something similar in in-store light bulbs. There is no escape.

To escape becoming a ward of her unscrupulous uncle, Taylor Stapleton will wed Lucas Ross, a rugged American rancher. Taylor also has a secret...a precious legacy she hasn't revealed to Ross. However, as she begins to fall for her handsome new husband, Taylor dares to surrender her heart to an uncertain future.

"Loved it!"
This was just one of those stories that clicked with me.
In the first hour I was concerned that the heroine Taylor was going to be a cookie-cutter Mary Sue, but I was pleasantly surprised when she started showing her flaws. By halfway through she'd developed into a very endearing character that I just couldn't help but root for.
The hero, Lucas, wore all of his vices on his sleeve initially and while he was handsome and mildly chivalrous it was hard to envision him as a Prince Charming. His character development was equally wonderful and geez if he didn't turn out to be everything a girl could want in a man!
Taylor was no wilting flower. The task she had to take on was more than just about any woman could have handled, and Lucas was just the man to champion her. The story is sixteen hours and their romance was not rushed, you really got to see two completely opposite people fall in love with one another and it was absolutely wonderful.
If you're a fan of period romances, be ready to lose sleep because it's really hard to turn off!
"A disappointment"
Sorry, I was disappointed in this book - probably because it was older (written in early 90s), but JG glossed over the exciting parts until the end. Just when I thought it was going to get interesting, she tells us what happened with no action on what actually took place. So glad this isn't the case with the FBI books. Congrats to JG for really improving her writing style.
"My #1 Favorite book by Julie Garwood"
This is a heartwarming story that starts in a London ballroom and ends in a cabin on a Montana Teritory homestead outside a middle-of-nowhere town. It has historical elements that really make this one unique, with constant quotes from Shakespere(sp), glamorization of Daniel Boon and Davey Crocket, "Mountain Men", and the eronious belief that if something has been published in a book it has to be true.
Another great element about this book is the low smut level. The main characters of the story are maried before they even meet on the pages, though they do not know eachother at all, and there is no actual sex until almost half way through the very large book. In an industry that seems to think that a good romance has to have sex by page 90, this is beyond refreshing.
This book has better developed suporting characters than many of Garwood's other books. All of them are well rounded, completely dynamic, and non-2dimentional.
The narator does a good job of getting the character tones right too.
"One of the very best!"
Well written - charming story - excellent narrator. Humor, pathos, great story line... what more could you want!?! Rosalyn does her usual amazing job of voicing the various characters in a believable, and charming way. Julie is at her best with a touching, innovative twist on the story line. Though there is some slight darkness in the background to the story, it's not allowed to intrude on the uplifting feeling that pervades the book. Just adds to the satisfaction of a great resolution. Well done!
"nice twist on the fairy tale"
This isn't the typical 'prince charming' book. Grew to like this heroine a lot, at first I wondered whether that would be the case. But the detailed dialogue and descriptions of her thoughts, and those of Lucas, really helped see the personalities. Yes you can tell this is an older book. But for me that did not detract from the enjoyment. Sometimes I laughed out loud at Taylor's comments, and how she accepted anything that was written, or published, as being absolutely true. And the things the children said made me chuckle also. The only reason I didn't give the story 5 stars was because sometimes it was a little slow, a few too many minute details that might not have been necessary. But the story was interesting throughout, with plot twists gradually revealed that linked Taylor to her past in England. The other characters were also fun to follow. As usual this narrator did an excellent job. This does rank as one of my favorites.
"Laugh Out Loud"
A fun listen, entertaining. Great narrator. Addresses orphan trafficking and has an old west take the perpetrators out solution. Illustrates how far we have come in America in changing old world entitlement issues.
Totally addicted to Audible.
"Absolutely delicious!"
A great story with entertaining characters and a liberal dose of humor. I fell in love with Rosalyn Landor's Lucas. This book was a delight!
"Delightful and Well Paced"
The story grew on me to the point of being sad it ended when it did. The story is full of tension and humor in just the right doses. If you like stories of perseverance rewarded, you will enjoy it.
I'm a very simple person who love to read or listen to books. My favorite genre is Historical Romance but am willing to spread my wings and fly temporarily over to sample a little young adult adventure or suspense, but I will without fail, return to romance..
"Lost in the story..."
I'm a true fan of Julie Garwood..I've never been disappointed with any of her books and Prince Charming is no exception...I felt like I was on the journey with Taylor and Lucas through the American Wilderness..Taylor's childhood dream coming true is proof we should all dream and know each dream will come true. May not be exactly the way we dreamed it, but, dreams do come true.
Love a story w/ humor,romance,adventure, w/out a lot of bickering,& good deals.
"Laughter, love, and adventure"
The storyline. Keeps you into it and you don't want to stop listening.
Never Seduce A Scot by Maya Banks
Both had strong heroines who overcame many obstacles and grew into a more mature and better person throughout the story.
The heros were impressive men, who also grew into better people.
Different countries but each were set in a beautiful part of the world.
Everything! She is very talented and does well with distinguishing different characters, accents, and sexes.
Lucas and Taylor's walk back home after a harrowing experience with her uncle.
I hope Julie Garwood writes many more quality novels and has Rosalyn Landor narrate
I definetely recommend this book to those who love historical romance, with action, wit, and some suspense thrown in.

Was there ever a studio version of The Mess recorded?
If not, I think that Macca should do it now while he has that hot band!
The Mess is such a kickin' tune....a real rocker.With a little rework on it in the studio with that band and Paul would have another hit on his hands on Rock radio. The Mess, in my opinion could be as monumental a song as even Juniors Farm, Hi Hi Hi, and dare I say it Jet . The odds of this happening is nil I know, but boy would that be a great rocker if a little TLC were applied to it!
