Ratings for Dr. Per Lidman
We have been seeing him for at least 10 years for 2 of our children and his is fantastic! Very caring and really listens. He's great with the kids and our children have been in very good health under his care. Would highly recommend him!
My two year old was reffered to dr lidman after being rushed to emergency numerous times for having trouble breathing. I was extremely nervous about having him tested for allergies as what two year old is going to sit there nicely as there arm is being poked but low ans behold dr lidman tested him and my son never made a peep. He was fantastic! He pinpointed his allergies and got us on a plan to minimize reactions (his allergies are environmental) and since seeing dr lidman we have not had to take him to emergency once. Really great doctor!
Our experience with this doctor was very disappointing. He led us to believe he was very interested in figuring out our child's medical issues when really he had no idea and was unwilling to seek out expert opinions. We have since found help with a world renown specialist in allergy and immunology and our child is, thankfully, doing much better than he ever was under Dr. Lidman's care. He was very quick to place blame rather than admit that he simply did not know the best course of action.
We met with Dr. Lidman regarding our son's peanut allergy after having a bad experience with another doctor. Dr. Lidman was great with my son, patient, never rushed us, and explained things very clearly. Even gave us a practice epipen to take home. It was worth the long wait to see him ( it took about 8 months to get an appointment)
We were referred to Dr. Lidman after our 5 month old had an allergic reaction to eggs while sitting on my lap (he didn't eat them - was only near them). While on the waitlist to see him, my son had an allergic reaction to a medication in the Stollery. We were in to see Dr. Lidman within the week (which was approximately 6 weeks after initial referral). Dr. Lidman ws excellent with my son and provided us with lots of information. He never made us feel rushed and answered all my questions. He even answered questions about my daughter, who he wasn't seeing that day, which resulted in me being able to get her referred by our general family doctor after our "ped" had said it wasn't necessary. Since then, he has taken great care of both my children. He is PRO breastfeeding which is important to me and EXTREMELY up to date with regard to the "white out" movement and the over abundanced of grains/carbs/sugars in our diets and the detriment is has on our health. A+ in my books!
I recently took my 9 year old to Dr.Lidman and he had her cracking up and smiling with his jokes! He made her feel very comfortable and told her exactly what would be happening during her allergy testing. When he sat us down to go over the results, he was very thorough and explained everything he was prescribing and exactly how to use the sprays etc...highly recommend Dr.Lidman!! His staff was also very friendly and answered all my questions!
Dr. Lidman was very friendly, respectful and helpful. He listened to everything I had to say and asked the right questions. I appreciated his diagnosis and was very happy with the treatment plan and the written instructions to take home. He is one of the best doctors I have seen so far and we have seen many!
he is really helpful and great with kids, he is calm and a perfect listner
Worst doctor ever. He refused to admit there was anything wrong with me but be prescribed that I stay home and take a long List of drugs. He couldn't see past to what was really wrong with me. I eventually was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that makes me swell till the point of not breathing only at certain times of the month. To this day he denies I have this condition although his superior, head of the rare blood disorders at the U of A, was the one that diagnosed me. He's pompous, rude and full of himself.
This Doctor,in my opinion,is extremely respectful to his patients; works very hard to assist them when necessary;and provides answers to the patient's questions with calmness and reassurrance plus shows respect to his staff.

A CARE home is hosting a fashion show to help women over 55 look and feel their best.
Highclere House in Cross Lane, Weymouth, will be hosting a free workshop showcasing style secrets for mature women.
Stylists and beauty pro-fessionals will demonstrate clothes and products that help people to feel fabulous during the long winter days.
Style specialists including Vicki Gray, colour consultant with House of Colour and Helen Walker of Breeze Salon, will share their top tips at the 'Colour and Style Night' on January 28 from 5pm to 7.30pm, which is free to attend. There will be samples and demonstrations of nail, hair and beauty treatments provided by beauty therapist students from Weymouth College.
And there will be a House of Colour voucher worth £110 for a Colour Analysis Class for one lucky person to win on the night.
Home manager Helen Holden said: "True style is to do with identity, having fun and enjoying life. It's nothing to do with looking younger, we can all look our best no matter our age."
She added: "Sometimes older women lack the confidence to dress how they really want to.
"This event is all about empowering women to wear the clothes and colours they love and sharing the secrets of looking fabulous in our own skin.
"The event is free and open to everyone so I'd like to welcome everyone down to Highclere House for a fantastic evening of colour and style."
The £7million care home, which is run by Gracewell Healthcare, opened last year and created 75 new jobs.
To book a free place at the Colour and Style Night, call reception at Highclere House on 01305 233300 or highclerehouse@ gracewell.co.uk

Stuffed Pork Chops
Recipe by Bill Gary
It's taken me about 3 tries to get this right. This one is the savory version. I plan on making a sweet version as well. A couple of people have suggested using a pork tenderloin and rolling or wrapping it around the stuffing, I haven't tried it, you may ;)
Top Review by marcoandrita
Made almost as written - using 4 thin boneless pork chops pounded thin. Putting the stuffing in between two of them and toothpicked together making 2 servings. Made half recipe for us and it is excellent and fun to make. Husband thought the sauce tasted like a fresh cream of mushroom soup and loved dinner. Served with roasted sweet potato and green beans.
See Discussion:22 Reviews 1 Tweak
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 pork chops (for stuffing, 1 to 2 inches thick)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped mushroom
- 1⁄4 cup diced green bell peppers or 1⁄4 cup red bell pepper
- 1⁄4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 2 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups toasted bread, cut into cubes
- 1⁄4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1⁄4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1⁄4 cup diced mushroom (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup finely diced green bell peppers or 1⁄4 cup red bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup beef stock (or a combination) or 1⁄4 cup red wine (or a combination)
Topping (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup plain breadcrumbs (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Prepare the stuffing: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onions, garlic, celery, bell pepper, and mushrooms over medium heat until the vegetables have softened (about 10 minutes).
- Stir in parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
- Toss with bread cubes gently.
- Add liquid until bread cubes are just barely mushy on the outside (you may not need the whole 1/4 cup liquid, or you may need a little more).
- Stuff the pork chops: Slice pockets into the pork chops toward, but not quite reaching, the bone.
- Stuff each pork chop and seal with toothpicks (I jam pack the stuffing in there, feel free to do the same).
- Sauté the pork chops in 2 tablespoons butter for about 5 minutes per side, until browned.
- Remove toothpicks and set pork chops in a casserole or other baking dish that will hold them.
- If there is any stuffing left over, you may mound it on top of the pork chops.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add all the vegetables.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until all the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.
- Lower heat to medium and sprinkle with flour.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute.
- Whisk in the milk, scraping the pan as you go to get up all the flour.
- Cook, whisking often, until mixture begins to boil and thickens to a slightly thicker consistency than heavy cream.
- Immediately remove pan from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour sauce over the pork chops.
- Prepare the topping: Stir the breadcrumbs into the butter until well combined.
- Sprinkle topping over the pork chops.
- If you're daring, lightly sprinkle the top with some very very finely grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbly.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes unless you like third degree burns in your mouth.
- Enjoy!

Check Out This Great Video Featuring Nascar Racer Tony Stewart
If you are a nascar fan you will enjoy this. My wife is a major Tony Stewart fan and she is the one who needs to watch this one. Although I am sure it wouldn't change her love for Smoke. According to the wife Tony wants her he just doesn't know it yet. And I guess that's all good with me as if it wasn't it would matter.

- "Houses Elliver, Grayson, and Brownbarrow were all slaughtered at the Twins."
- ―Duncan Tuttle to Rodrik Forrester.
House Elliver is a possibly extinct vassal house from the North of Westeros, holding allegiance to House Stark of Winterfell. They are mentioned briefly in Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series, to which they are unique.
The Ellivers were loyal Stark bannermen, and prominent allies of House Forrester of Ironrath. They fought alongside the Forresters for Robb Stark in the War of the Five Kings.
"The Lost Lords"
During a meeting of Ironrath's small council, Lord Rodrik Forrester may ask about summoning House Forrester's allies. Duncan Tuttle responds that House Elliver, along with Houses Grayson and Brownbarrow, were wiped out at the Red Wedding.
In the books
Unlike the Forresters and Whitehills, House Elliver seems to be purely an invention of Telltale, much like Houses Branfield and Glenmore. The same is true for their allies, Houses Grayson and Brownbarrow.

You can take those store-bought cleaning products off your shopping list. Here is a list of basic supplies that can get you through many domestic tasks.
Old housekeeping manuals and books on simple living often talk about the soap jar. This is a place where all those slivers of hand soap go when you are about to start a fresh bar. Pour in a little boiling water and you get a soft jelly which can be used for dishwashing, clothes, or diluted as a spray for aphids that attack your house plants.
Baking soda
This is endlessly useful around the house. Buy a box from the drugstore rather than the tiny ones you get for baking. It is a water softener, can be used as a scouring powder on sinks and bathtubs It's effective and easy to rinse away. It can be used as a coating on ovens to make them easier to clean, as an excellent polish for chrome. It also makes a good tooth powder and can be used in solution as a garden fungicide (half a teaspoon per pint of water).
Table salt
Salt is a mild disinfectant, and makes an abrasive but benign scouring powder. Keep drains clear with a weekly handful of salt and a kettle full of boiling water.
Clear distilled vinegar
Mix vinegar 50/50 with water in a spray bottle for cleaning windows and mirrors. Polish with clean cotton or linen rags or with newspaper. Use vinegar and water to descale your pots and pans or to remove stains from a teapot. The ring in your toilet comes from hard water and can be removed wiht an acid like vinegar, left to stand.
This can be bought at supermarkets and is recomended as an all-purpose alternative to bleaches and disinfectants. Use borax to soak diapers, whiten clothes, soften waters and increase the effectiveness of plain soap. It is also good at keeping down mold and preventing odors. A water and borax solution can be used as a disinfectant to wipe down the bathroom.
Cleaning cloths and scourers
Round knitted nylon scourers last forever. A metal scourer can stand in for a lot of scouring powder. Use plain steel wool rather than steel wool pads impregnated with chemicals. You can tear off the small piece that is all you really need.
Air fresheners
Don't equate the smell of bleach or other harsh cleaners with freshness. Try these ideas.
-- Allow plenty of ventilation. Opening windows at least once a day is the best way to clear stale air or offensive odors. An extractor fan can help in the kitchen and bathroom.
-- Keep things dry and reasonably warm. Borax inhibits the growth of mildew and mold, so you can sprinkle it around or wipe surfaces with a borax solution.
-- Empty your trash frequently and sprinkle a little borax or baking soda in the bottom of the bin. Once you start composting, your garbage can stays dry and is very unlikely to smell.

Hi Everybody,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back with the borehole information. Back in June we tried to drill a borehole but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. We drilled 200 feet into the ground but only hit a small pocket of water. This small aquifer wasn't going to be able to provide water year round. The installers said that the borehole would run dry during the dry season and would only work periodically during the rainy season, depending on how frequently it would be used.
This is really hard news to hear for myself and the village, but after a small meeting the village decided that they would rather not install a borehole that wouldn't be able to work year round.
That isn't the end of the story though.
The company in charge of installing the borehole charges a rate of 60% for unsuccessful borehole drilling, since the main bulk of the work goes into the drilling. That said we have a remaining 40% of the originally borehole request of 5,100 which leaves us with 2,040 dollars to work with. After a discussion with the village we decided that we should do something else with the rest of the money, rather than ask for more to try to drill another borehole that could fail again. The community decided that we would build a rain catchment system for the primary school, thereby at least providing water for the school for half of the year.
Construction of this has begun and will be finished this week.
With the completion of the rain catchment system (cost is roughly $500-600) we still have a remaining balance. After another round of meetings it was decided that the rest of the money would be used to buy a new mill for the village. The current mill is owned by a village local who does not allow the women to mill peanuts or shea nuts at his mill because there is extra cleaning involved with milling those things. One of the main ingredients in soup here is peanut butter, made from milled peanuts. Also a main source of income for the women is making shea butter from ground, roasted, and milled shea nuts. The women are not able to add value to their product and are forced to either walk 6 miles (there and back carrying 50 pound loads on their heads) to have their products milled or just to sell it in their raw forms.
Without this mill the women are being held back from being independent. They have asked for help with this project. Since the borehole wasn't possible they asked if we could help "fill their bellies with food" instead. It seemed like a reasonable request.
I was extremely saddened by the failed borehole but some good can still come from it. I hope that these are acceptable side projects for the left over money to be used. The village was very sad that the borehole didn't work out and they said that we needed to thank the friends in America for trying to help and that maybe later down the road another chance will come.
Please if you have any questions just email me, email@example.com
Thanks guys!
Pictures are to follow as soon as I can get reliable internet.

Thanks, I think that might. I enabled it like so:
Interface Source Destination Target
(no portmap)
Hopefully this will not remap ports on the 10.15.55.43 address and leave the rest of our subnet to
run like normal. It seems to function fine so far for everything and the tunneled VNC connection
has lasted about 25 minutes.
I have not yet enabled advanced outbound NAT on our "outer" m0n0wall. That unit has 1:1 NAT set up
for one public IP to 10.15.55.42 and a second one to 10.15.55.43 (other building tenants share a
third using regular NAT and their own 10.15.55.* routers). I wouldn't think that would apply since
the docs state, "By default, m0n0wall automatically adds NAT rules to all interfaces to NAT your
internal hosts to your WAN IP address for outbound traffic. The only exception is for any hosts for
which you have configured 1:1 NAT entries." To me that sounds like it's not necessary for 1:1 NAT.

text: Hi all, I have a program which can use multiple cores on the same machine. In our cluster we have machines with 16 cores. But if I use the "ppn=16" parameter, my job waits until one machine is entirely free. I was wondering if there is a possible way to notify a running job when a slot is free on the same machine (so the program can use it). Is something like this available in Torque ? Or did someone have a independant (of Torque) solution ? With another grid engine ? Regards, Charles

The transport ministry is looking at allowing airliners to fly above central parts of Tokyo for arrivals and departures to Haneda airport as it tries to accommodate a growing number of international flights.
The number of international flights at Haneda is expected to grow from 90,000 a year to 129,000 by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The airport is expected to play a greater role in international flight services, with its proximity to central Tokyo an advantage over Narita International Airport, in Chiba Prefecture, which is currently the main gateway to the metropolitan area for visitors to Japan.
Airplanes fly at low altitudes above residential areas around Osaka International Airport and Fukuoka Airport. But planes use airspace above Tokyo Bay to approach and depart Haneda, and avoid flying above the central parts of the capital.
On a new route suggested for southerly winds, mainly in summertime, airplanes on approach will fly at an altitude of about 900 meters above Saitama and travel southward above bustling central Tokyo areas such as Shinjuku and Shibuya, according to the ministry's plan.
After descending to an altitude of some 450 meters around Shinagawa Station, the planes will land at Haneda.
By opening this route for arrivals, and another for departures, to meet high demand for daytime flights, the ministry aims to allocate some 39,000 new international arrival and departure slots at Haneda.
In mid-December, the ministry held a meeting at Tokyo's Ota Ward office, some 4 km from Haneda airport, to brief local residents on the new flight routes.
Some residents grilled ministry personnel about potential noise problems amid concerns it could affect land prices.
In one residential area below a proposed new flight route, noise levels of 80 decibels, roughly the same as those inside a subway train, were expected once flights began.
"Aircraft capabilities have improved over the past few decades and planes have become quieter, but I'm worried about falling objects," said Mitsushi Okamoto, a 62-year-old self-employed resident in the area.
In 2010, Haneda airport started using a fourth runway and resumed regular international flights for the first time in 32 years.
Figures show the annual number of international flight arrivals and departures increased from 60,000 to 90,000 in 2014, accounting for about 20 percent of the 447,000 flights at the airport.
Still, the combined total of international flight passengers at Haneda and Narita lags behind other Asian airports such as Hong Kong and Seoul.
"Air traffic congestion above Tokyo Bay is reaching the limit," an official at the transport ministry said. "We need to create new flight routes in order to maintain international competitiveness."

Special Operations Forces (SOF) regularly engage in physically demanding combat operations and field training exercises, resulting in high daily energy expenditure, and thus increased energy requirements. However, the majority of studies assessing energy requirements of SOF have been conducted on soldiers going through intense SOF initiation training. The objective of the current investigation was to determine the energy expenditure of SOF conducting military training operations. Thirty-one soldiers taking part in Pre-Mission Training (PMT
Similar to athletes, determining energy needs for military personnel enables development of appropriate nutritional strategies that support energy demands during combat operations and field training [
However, most previously reported physical activity levels and energy expenditures for SOF were based on observations of soldiers undergoing intense initial entry training courses, where candidates vie to join the SOF community [
Two garrison-based training programs believed to span the intensity of SOF training were selected for observation. Pre-Mission Training (PMT), where participating soldiers conduct routine training operations before combat deployment and Combat Diver Qualification Course (CDQC), a rigorous, select training program. The objective of the present investigation was to characterize energy requirements of SOF soldiers through the measurement of total daily energy expenditure and physical activity level during PMT and CDQC and compare levels of energy expenditure to the MDRI. We hypothesized that both courses would elicit energy expenditures exceeding the MDRI for energy and that physical activity level would be above the upper sustainable limit (>2.5).
Thirty-one male soldiers participating in CDQC and PMT volunteered to participate in this 7-day observational study. Two volunteers were medically withdrawn from CDQC during data collection; as such, data were collected and analyzed on 29 soldiers (CDQC;
Experimental design. DLW: doubly labeled water.
During PMT, soldiers practice skills required to conduct SOF combat operations. The study participants completed physical training, weapons familiarization, airborne operations, urban operations, and convoy operations. The Combat Diver Qualification Course is a highly specialized course teaching soldiers how to conduct underwater military operations. During the observation period, participants engaged in daily physical training, that included formation runs up to five miles, rigorous callisthenic-type workout, 4 h of high-intensity pool work, open water swims, and drills to properly don 30 kg open circuit diving gear.
Height, body weight, and body composition were assessed on day 1 of data collection. Vertical height was measured using a stadiometer (Seca; Creative Health Products, Plymouth, MI, USA) to the nearest 0.1 cm. Body weight was measured using an electronic scale (Befour model PS6600; Befour Inc., Saukville, WI, USA) calibrated to industry standards using standard weights accurate to 0.1 kg. Body composition was determined from skinfold thickness measurements using Lange calipers (Beta Technology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) made at 4 skinfold sites (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac) [
Total daily energy expenditure was assessed using doubly labeled water (DLW). This method has previously been validated for a military population and details of the procedure have been reported [
Second-morning void urine samples were collected each morning during the 6-day observation period. Enrichments of 2H and 18O were measured using isotope ratio mass spectroscopy (Finnigan Mat 252, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The 2H and 18O isotope elimination rates (kH and kO) were calculated by linear regression using the isotopic disappearance rates in the urine samples collected during the 6-day study to determine CO2 production according to Schoeller
To account for the natural abundance of 2H and 18O in local drinking water, 2 participants from each training course were randomly chosen to consume local drinking water rather than DLW to serve as a control group. Additionally, local water was analyzed independently to determine 2H and 18O enrichments.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was estimated using measures of fat-free mass (FFM) with the following equation [
Diet-induced thermogenesis was calculated as 10% energy expenditure [
Common descriptive statistics were used for baseline characteristics total daily energy expenditure, activity-induced energy expenditure, RMR, and physical activity level. Independent

The major finding of the present observational investigation was that total daily energy expenditure of SOF during PMT and CDQC was 120% and 140%, respectively, higher than energy requirements set by the MDRI (13,598 kJ·day−1). Additionally, the exceedingly high levels of total daily energy expenditure observed during the two distinct training periods appears to be driven by activity induced energy expenditures due to high physical activity levels. This is an important observation when considering feeding regimens and nutrition policies for SOF to ensure they receive adequate daily energy to support their intense workload.
Findings in the present study are similar to previously reported energy expenditures of SOF conducting military operations [
The range of energy expenditures observed in qualified SOF are comparable to those reported during initial SOF training courses. In previous investigations conducted during US Army Ranger School and Special Forces Qualification Course, it has been reported that participating soldiers expended 17,113 ± 2000 kJ·day−1 and 18,832 ± 4155 kJ·day−1, respectively [
Inadequate energy intakes during periods of high metabolic demand are common when soldiers are conducting intense field training exercises, and dependent on combat rations as their only source of food [
Energy needs of SOF appear to be ~17,600 kJ·day−1, with differences in physical activity levels (2.2–2.6) during specific training periods eliciting variations in energy expenditure ranging from 16,700 to 19,200 kJ·day−1. Findings from the current investigation suggest that dietary energy requirements of SOF Soldiers exceed 120%–140% of the MDRI. Additionally, the level of energy expenditures observed during PMT and CDQC are similar to those observed during SOF initial entry training, suggesting that though SOF initial entry training is intentionally rigorous, it may be appropriate to use as a model to assess physiological strain of military operations in this unique population in a controlled environment. Determining total daily energy expenditure of SOF is paramount for creation of appropriate nutrition policies and food allocation to support the physically demanding workload of this unique subset of the military population.

One of the few All-American breeds, the Black and Tan Coonhound is a persistent, determined, honest hunter who will stay on track no matter the terrain or conditions. His name developed from his color and purpose - his coat is coal black with tan markings, and he is used to trail and tree raccoon.
A Look Back
The Black and Tan Coonhound is believed to have descended from the Talbot Hound, which was known in England as far back as the 11th century, and the Bloodhound. In America, the Black and Tan Coonhound evolved from the Foxhounds that possessed treeing instinct and the black and tan color pattern. Owned by scouts and Indian fighters during the late 1700s, the Black and Tan was the first coonhound to be considered a separate breed from the American Foxhound.
Right Breed for You?
Outgoing and friendly, the Black and Tan Coonhound likes to be with his family. Most are laid back in the house, but require moderate daily exercise on leash or in a fenced area. Their instincts may lead them to chase and tree small animals and bark, so training is important. Their short coat requires minimal maintenance.
- Hound Group; AKC recognized in 1945.
- Ranging in size from 23 to 27 inches tall at the shoulder.
- Raccoon hunter.

One hundred years ago, as passengers and crew members aboard the RMS Titanic counted down the minutes to certain death or despair, members of one well-known North Carolina family were out of harm's way, having made a decision that likely changed the course of their lives.
The maritime tragedy, retold in countless movies and books, played out when the grand ocean liner collided with an iceberg in the frigid North Atlantic just before midnight April 14, 1912, sinking very early the following morning.
More than 1,500 souls were carried into an icy grave during Titanic's maiden voyage from Southampton U.K., to New York. The 700 or so people who managed to survive faced life-threatening conditions in the open ocean until rescue efforts commenced.
But a stroke of luck meant that George Vanderbilt, whose vision is the inspiration for Asheville's Biltmore estate, his wife, Edith, and their daughter, Cornelia, wouldn't be counted on rolls naming the dead.
Despite initial plans to travel on Titanic, a fateful change in plans put the family aboard a sister ship, the Olympic, which carried the Vanderbilts from Europe to the United States several days earlier. One of their servants wouldn't be so lucky.
The Titanic tale is just one of many stories told in a new exhibit at Biltmore, "The Vanderbilts at Home & Abroad."
Visitors to the estate can dig into the details in the Biltmore Legacy building of the Antler Hill Village & Winery area, several minutes away from the main house.
The 250-room Biltmore House was designed by well-renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt. The father of American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmstead, a designer of New York's Central Park, planned the gardens.
Staff at Biltmore are "responsible for the preservation of everything at Biltmore estate, including the stories that are associated with its history," said Darren Poupore, chief curator. "Ultimately we are trying to answer the burning question, 'What were George, Edith and Cornelia like? What were their lives like? Who were they?'"
The estate's archives, which include thousands upon thousands of unreviewed documents, yield new discoveries even today, years after the house's formal opening on Christmas Eve, 1895.
"We're constantly doing research, and we constantly have new discoveries," Poupore said.
The Titanic story grew out of such efforts.
A stronger story
"While going through the estate's archives, we were able to piece together a fascinating story about why the Vanderbilts did not board Titanic," Poupore said. "We share the fateful decision that ultimately saved (the Vanderbilts' lives) for the first time in this exhibition."
Vanderbilt connections to the Titanic had long been known, but solid details remained scarce. Questions about the reliability of turn-of-the-century newspaper reports also nagged curators.
For example, some early reports indicated the ship was under tow to Nova Scotia.
"The Vanderbilts were kind of like Hollywood stars at the time, so their comings and goings were always documented," Poupore said. "We just know that a lot of what was documented was wrong."
By combining research efforts in the estate's archives with a curator from The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and an independent maritime historian, a more concrete story developed.
As February 1912 arrived, the Vanderbilts had been in Europe for six months, and previously unprocessed documents in the Biltmore archives sketch out the timeline for their return home.
"I have practically decided to sail on the maiden trip of Titanic, returning to New York," George Vanderbilt wrote to the estate supervisor early that month.
Another letter followed in March, confirming booking aboard Titanic to New York, with travel to Biltmore by train.
Then something changed, prompting a telegram to be sent to the estate a week before Titanic's voyage began.
"Sailing on Olympic, plans changed," George Vanderbilt wrote.
Exactly what led to the switch isn't clear, but Poupore points to a coal strike that disrupted maritime operations at the time or the desire to travel with close friends booked on Olympic as possibilities.
Whether the Vanderbilts would have perished is of course an unknown. A British Board of Trade report indicated first-class survival rates of 33 percent for men, 97 percent for women and 83.4 percent for children.
One Vanderbilt servant, Edwin Charles Wheeler, wasn't one of the lucky ones.
He kept his original Titanic ticket and perished, perhaps while acting as custodian of baggage the Vanderbilts were bringing home.
A Titanic model, original dining menus and images on loan from the Pigeon Forge attraction help tell the story in "At Home & Abroad."
A wealth of stories
Visitors to the main house in Asheville encounter a grand scale projecting at almost every turn.
Figures published by Biltmore indicate the house itself covers 175,000 square feet. The estate originally encompassed 125,000 acres, although much of the land later was acquired by the federal government. Today, some removed acreage is part of Pisgah National Forest.
If the indoor swimming pool were filled, it would contain 70,000 gallons of water. The library holds 23,000 books. There are 250 rooms, 94 acres of vineyards and 65 fireplaces. The approach road to the house itself is 3 miles long and was quite the journey for carriages.
Placing the exhibit at Biltmore Legacy permits visitors a more intimate look inside the Vanderbilts' lives with less hustle and bustle.
"There's only so much you can do in the house. What we're hoping is that people will come down to Antler Hill Village and really get a second part of the experience. They can take their time going through the exhibition and go at their own pace and learn as much as they want to at a much deeper level about George, Edith and Cornelia," Poupore said.
A special piece normally located 15 feet behind a velvet rope in the main house can now be seen up-close for the first time, and it is Poupore's favorite.
"Napoleon's chess set to me is just captivating," Poupore said. "For one reason, because I'm a chess player. But also because it's an object that can get lost in the historic interiors."
The set is both hard to see and in competition with everything else in the Vanderbilt library.
"We're able to put a spotlight on one object, and use it as a platform to tell something more about who a family member was," Poupore said. "You learn so much more about George just by looking at this chess set."
The story is rooted in George Vanderbilt's teen years. He was 17 when he traveled to the Holland House, a historic home and 19th century social center in England.
He wrote in his travel diary that James McHenry, an American business tycoon, gave the family a private tour. The two would strike up a friendship and, when George turned 21, McHenry offered Napoleon's chess set and table as a birthday present.
"Mr. McHenry was an older man, and I think he was impressed in George. He saw this young teenager who had this kind of unusual interest in history and the arts and was interested in what he was showing," Poupore said.
George Vanderbilt would go on to develop a fascination with Napoleon, one of the most celebrated figures in Western world history. Books, etchings and engravings are among Biltmore's collections.
"You're seeing another side of George. In talking about this chess set, you're really getting a much fuller picture of who George was," Poupore said.
Visitors to "At Home & Abroad" are greeted with details about the Vanderbilt family tree. Moving forward they will find a silver tea service from George Vanderbilt's private rail car, Edith Vanderbilt's personal Kodak cameras and a costume worn by Cornelia Vanderbilt during her 21st birthday masquerade party.
Other notable items include authentic samurai swords and armor from an 1892 trip to Japan, and a rare 1920 model 20-J tandem seat Harley-Davidson, nearly identical to one once owned by the Vanderbilts.
In all, 15 sections make up the exhibit, with a variety of different stories and objects on display.
"We're hoping that everyone who comes will be interested in something," Poupore said.

BBC News Online's Joseph Winter is in Nigeria, covering this month's national assembly, presidential and state governor elections. He is keeping a diary of his travels around the country, which he is updating regularly.
Port Harcourt :: 14 April :: 1300GMT
There's been no sign of any violence today, despite opposition anger over the poll results.
However, I had another reminder of how difficult it is for the opposition in Nigeria when I visited the Niger Delta Development Commission.
The NDDC was set up in a blaze of publicity two years ago in order to use oil money for the benefit of people who live in Nigeria's nine oil-producing states.
After two years of building schools and health clinics and other development projects, the first one opened its doors for the first time last month.
By remarkable coincidence the NDDC started commissioning 253 projects just last month.
By another remarkable coincidence the chairman of the NDDC is President Obasanjo's publicity manager.
Port Harcourt :: 13 April :: 2330GMT
The election results for most of Port Harcourt and the surrounding Rivers State have been announced and the ruling People's Democratic Party has won by a landslide.
In the Abua/Odua/Ahoada East federal constituency, the PDP gained a staggering 139,632 votes against 555 to the main opposition All Nigerian People's Party.
With just a few results left to come from the state, the PDP has almost 90% of the vote and despite the long delays we saw the official turnout approached 95% of registered voters.
But even the authorities said there had been too much violence for voting to take place in the Etche local government area.
"We do not accept these results. The vote was marred by shooting, intimidation and the late arrival of voting materials," ANPP Rivers State spokesman Ipalibo Botoye told BBC News Online.
He said that four ANPP activists had been shot during the voting and that in some areas PDP activists had fired guns in the air to scare away potential opposition voters.
Nevertheless, Mr Botoye said he was not expecting any protests from ANPP activists on Monday.
'They have the guns'
His anger was already being diluted by the thought of next Saturday's presidential and governor elections where far more power is at stake.
"In any case, there is nothing we can do. They have all the guns."
But he warned that the 19 April polls must be better organised.
Of course this could just be sour grapes and maybe the PDP is hugely popular in the Rivers State.
They certainly seem to have the biggest party buildings in both Port Harcourt and the Ogoniland town of Bori - an hour's drive away.
But at the polling stations I certainly met a lot of people who were insisting that this state, and Nigeria as a whole needed a change of government.
They may not be happy at the way Nigeria's election marathon has started.
Port Harcourt :: 12 April :: 2300GMT
I saw a lot of angry people - mostly from the opposition ANPP. They were accusing the ruling PDP of trying to rig the elections.
Nobody knew where anything should be - lots of ballot boxes were missing.
Some people said they should be counted at the government office where we were but the election official said the ballots should be counted at the polling stations.
The elections officials didn't know where most of the boxes were.
We saw one group of angry ANPP supporters driving a minibus full of ballot boxes to their government office without any security or elections officials with them.
Due to that anger people are afraid of what might happen when the results are announced.
Port Harcourt :: 12 April :: 1800GMT
Mystery continues over the sporadic gunshots I clearly heard as polling stations were due to close. It lasted on and off for some 30 minutes.
Other people had also reported them and yet the Commissioner of Police for Rivers State, Sylvester O Araba, said he had received no official reports of violence and that no party had made any official complaints.
However, he also played down the earlier arrests, saying that just five people had been detained, while we counted 19 suspects lined up on the
tarmac outside the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) state headquarters.
At the time, a police officer clearly said 20 people had been arrested.
Voting was extended in many polling stations across Port Harcourt due to the delayed start. Some stayed open until 1800 local time - a three-hour extension.
But as a thunderstorm burst overheard, the mood at some polling stations also darkened.
At one counting centre, the representatives of some of the 30 parties contesting these elections were united - in condemning Inec.
They had counted the ballots and, remarkably, all agreed on the results.
But they could not find the returning officer for that ward, nor any official results sheet.
They were all deeply suspicious and vowed to stay with the counted ballot papers until the result they had found had been officially recorded.
"Without the results sheet, everything we have been doing is in vain," said one angry young man.
I initially thought it a bit ambitious to attempt to organise four elections in a month.
But maybe by the time that last one comes along, the organisation will have improved.
Port Harcourt :: 12 April :: 1430GMT
The voting was suppose to finish at 1500 local time. Since that time I have heard from my hotel the sound of sporadic gunshots.
One woman came into the hotel and said its politics, they are shooting from every angle.
Port Harcourt :: 12 April :: 1200GMT
So far the legislature election has not gone well.
The first voting I say was at 1200 local time four hours late. Voting was supposed to finish at 1500 local meaning that more than half of the allocated voting time has been lost.
When voting did begin it was completely open, with no privacy.
On the veranda of a school in the city centre in front of a long queue of other voters the election officials asked voters who they wanted to vote for.
The official then placed the voters thumb print on the ballot paper next to his chosen candidate and then placed the paper in the ballot box on their behalf.
But people were most upset about the long delay and some suspect something untoward.
Officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) say that the delay was due to the large area they had to cover.
They say they worked throughout the night to get material ready and stressed that anyone who wanted to vote would be able to do so.
Police have arrested 20 young men in three groups. They found six live ammunition rounds hidden inside a minibus outside the Rivers State Inec office. Some had fake monitors cards.
Speaking to voters I was reminded how patriarchal African society can be. I wanted to hear what female voters had to say and was speaking to a woman.
Her husband who was sitting in his car across the road immediately called her over. When I explained that I was a journalist asking voters their thoughts about the election he insisted on speaking on behalf of himself and his wife and would not allow her to say a word.
There are no female candidates running for the Port Harcourt seats in the National Assembly.
Port Harcourt :: 11 April :: 2100GMT
Residents of Port Harcourt are getting ready for the elections in different
Some are wary of political violence and are leaving the city for the rural
areas, which they hope will be quieter.
During the day, there have been some isolated incidents of violence in one
of the most bitterly contested states and regions in the country.
Others are preparing for a relaxing day, as all shops and business must
remain closed until voting finishes at 1500 local time.
The local officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec)
are not expecting to get any sleep tonight. They say they did not sleep on
Thursday night either.
The Rivers State Inec office is a bustling hive of activity, as officials
prepare to send the election material across the state.
Due to the fears of renewed violence and allegations of rigging, they will
be accompanied by tight security.
At around 2000 local time, there were some 20 police cars parked in front,
full of machine-gun toting officers.
As for me, I'm exhausted after a long day on the road. It's time for some
shut-eye before the big day on Saturday...
Lagos :: 11 April :: 0900GMT
Woke up to a torrential downpour. Glad I'm not out on a boat in Makoko today.
After trying and failing to phone up my colleague from the BBC Hausa Service in the oil capital of Port Harcourt for the whole of yesterday, I finally managed to get through this morning.
Apparently, one of the trunk lines was down yesterday.
He says there is no petrol on Port Harcourt, although the city is near
enormous reserves of oil, so getting around might be difficult.
Here in Lagos, the fuel shortages have eased but in the north, as well as Port Harcourt, I hear petrol is still scarce.
As for getting there, the airport does not seem to have a reliable
information service.
The hotel where I am staying, told me there was a flight at 1100 but the BBC contact at the airport says there is no flight at 1100, only at 1330.
Now off to the airport to find out who is right. And whether there are any flights at all in this rain.
On top of the lack of fuel and the rain, very few people have so far
received their voter cards.
Tomorrow's national assembly elections could be interesting.
Lagos :: 10 April :: 1900GMT
Progress at last. I seem to have been able to send some photos. But still not from the mobile phone.
Now for more problematic communications, trying to contact the BBC Hausa service reporter in my next stop Port Harcourt, Nigeria's oil capital.
This has so far proved almost as difficult as e-mailing photos to London.
Maybe this is what people meant by Nigeria being a difficult place.
Lagos :: 10 April :: 1600GMT
Now back in the BBC Lagos office after a hot, sweaty and extremely smelly tour of Makoko, one of the city's poorer districts.
I have been given some hi-tech equipment for sending photos and reports over a British mobile phone which is supposed to work out here but so far, no joy.
It's extremely frustrating to have lots of information but no way
of sending it but I'm now finally logged on through the BBC bureau.
It always sounded a bit ambitious this morning, I could have spent five extremely frustrating hours trying to force the technology to adapt to Nigeria but I thought it would be more fruitful to get out on the campaign trail.
Lagos poster printers are certainly doing a roaring trade, with posters for the candidates for the presidency and state governor covering many walls.
But in Makoko, people were just trying to get enough fish to eat and not fall sick in the appallingly unhygienic conditions which surround them.
Human faeces float in the water, where the fish are caught and where children go swimming.
Few residents expect the elections to drastically change their lives for
the better.
But they say they will vote, in the hope it brings some progress.
Apart from the posters, the only campaigning I saw was from the ruling People's Democratic Party.
A dozen activists were out on the roads around the lagoons, trying to clear them of the diluted raw sewage which was up to two feet deep, causing chronic traffic jams.
A very small drop in an enormous, and very dirty, ocean of work which awaits the winner of next week's poll.
Lagos :: 9 April :: 2100GMT
Whenever I say that I'm going to Nigeria, people react in the same way - their face drops and they warn knowingly: "Nigeria is a very difficult place."
Even Nigerians do not encourage people to visit their homeland.
Surely, it can't be that bad?
But just getting to Lagos has been, how shall I put it - an interesting
Passengers flying from London to Lagos have three times more baggage
allowance than most travellers - 64kg each, compared to 20kg on most
international flights.
But even this was not enough for some people.
One passenger on my flight gave some bags to another traveller.
Some might see this as a trivial way of avoiding a huge excess luggage bill
but in these days of tough airline security regulations, it was treated as a
major security scare.
Both passengers were thrown off the flight and, to ensure that neither had
left any luggage on board, every single bag on the plane - hand luggage and
in the hold - had to be identified by a passenger still on board the plane.
By the time each of the 350-odd passengers on the 747 had tramped down the
stairs and on to the tarmac in the mild London drizzle to identify each
plastic carrier bag and suitcase, our flight was delayed by more than three
My first contacts with the body in charge of running the elections
have also not been promising.
I wanted to find out how many candidates were contesting the presidential election.
Not too difficult, you might think.
For two weeks, I phoned up various officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec), who were always "in a meeting".
Whenever I did manage to get through to someone I'd been told could give me
the information, he invariably said: "I'll just get the final list, call
back in 30 minutes."
And half an hour later?
"He is not on seat," sighs the receptionist, before abruptly putting the
phone down.
In the end, I managed to get hold of an unofficial list, which tallied with
one I'd come across on a Nigerian website.
My experience so far has confirmed some of the warnings. But now the real work begins.

I'm so excited… I've been waiting for this day for a while!
FreshStitches Dolls are here!
I've been wanting to design a line of dolls for a while… I knew they needed to be cute and adorable, but also easy to crochet. I was letting the ideas simmer in my head until I came up with some designs that were just right:
Don't you love them?
There's Olivia, the ballerina, Mia, the cutie with curly hair, Avery, the doll with a dress and Ethan, the boy doll!
Olivia the Ballerina is sporting an adorable tutu and ballet slippers:
I made sure to include a boy doll… because I don't think dolls are just for girls! Little boys like playing with dolls, too! And check out Ethan's adorable sneakers:
The dolls are 18″ tall when completed… so big and cuddly!
Grab the e-book
Of course, each of these dolls are cuties. But, I wanted everyone to be able to crochet a doll that looked just like them (or their little one)! So, I created the A Doll Like Me! e-book!
The e-book contains everything you need to make your custom doll! Check out all of the options:
Curly hair, straight hair, a dress, pants, sneakers, ballet slippers… all of the options to crochet the dolls I've shown you, plus your own custom doll!
I want everyone to be able to make their own cutie… so this week only, you can grab the A Doll Like Me! ebook for only $18! The price will return to it's usual $20 next week, and is a huge savings over buying the doll patterns individually!
Which doll are you going to make?
I have a little secret… the next crochet-a-long (beginning May 23rd) is going to be a doll-a-long! So, it's a good time to grab the pattern and start thinking about what you're doll's going to be wearing!
And because finding a great skin-tone yarn can be tricky, I've compiled a list of suggestions:
I can't wait to see everyone's dolls!

This study is an ancillary (add-on) study to the clinical trial entitled Red Cell Storage Duration Study (RECESS), which has clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT00991341. The RECESS study randomizes cardiac surgery patients to receive either red blood cell units stored for no more than 10 days, or red blood cell units stored for at least 21 days, if they need any red blood cell transfusions during their hospital stay for the surgery.
This ancillary study is entitled Impact of Blood Storage Duration on Physiologic Measures: RECESS Ancillary Physiologic Study (RECAP). The hypothesis of the RECAP study is that there will be differences between the two randomized treatment groups in how much the following measurements change, from shortly before a red blood cell transfusion to shortly after a red blood cell transfusion, and from before surgery to 24 hours after surgery:
The RECAP study will also investigate whether changes in the measurements listed above are associated with clinical outcomes, including

Pregnancy Denial: A Horrifying Mental Illness
Every once in a while, you read a horrifying story about a mom who smothers her baby or throws her newborn in a dumpster. Some experts are saying that there is a mental illness that could lead to this behavior—pregnancy denial. They say pregnancy denial is a "quasi-schizophrenic condition" where a woman either cannot fathom or accept that she is pregnant. The level of denial is so strong that they do not ever talk to their spouse or see a gynecologist about the pregnancy. And they certainly would never consider an abortion because they simply do not believe they are pregnant. "These women are so convinced pregnancy is impossible that once the child they never wanted arrives, they don't accept it as real and get rid of it to restore order to what they believe is nonpregnant reality," a gynecologist who is an expert on the condition says. This issue is getting a lot of press at the moment in France, where there have been five grizzly cases of women killing their own babies—often multiple times—in the past several years. Most recently, in the town of Villiers-au-Terte, a woman named Dominique Cottrez has admitted to killing eight of her own babies, and hiding the pregnancies and murders from her husband. Two of her babies' bodies were found buried in the backyard of a home where the couple used to live. Police found six more bodies at their current house. The husband had no idea that any of this had happened. [Time]
So. Freaking. Horrifying.

Need help with start up issues with my 98 BMW 528i
All, I need your help with startup issues which just started yesterday with my 98 528i. It has been starting just fine for years. Yesterday after I drove about 45 minutes in heavy traffic I noticed a little sputtering in idle but it drove just fine until I got to LA fitness which is cross the street from where I work. After I finished working out which took about an hour, when i tried to get to work it did not start up. It cranked just fine but never turned over. I tried 10-15 times and it did not want to start. I walked to work and came back at lunch time and tried again and started right up without any issues. So I drove to work and left at about 7 pm and started right up without any issues. Then I went to the gas station after driving about 10 miles and got gas, this time premium gas, and it did not want to start up again. I tried again about 10 times, waited 5 minutes and eventually started again. I got home, turned it off and and on a few times and started again. So I think It will do the same thing today. So my question is where do I start to troubleshoot? Fuel pump, Fuel filter, Fuel pressure regulator or the injectors? Please help me get started. I have another car which I can drive until I fix this startup issue. By the way I put my scanner on it and there are no diagnostic codes at all when it does not start up. Thanks for your help.
