Mom, Can You Make Your Bread? (Using Freshly Milled Flour)
Recipe by Sweet Diva MJ
This is my bread recipe that I make twice a week - makes great sandwich bread and toast! If I get too busy and buy bread from the store, it's not long before my children protest and make the above request. No kidding - one has even told me at the store, "You can buy that bread, but I'm not going to eat it! I want YOURS!" There's nothing like the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven - guaranteed to bring the kids running in from outside trying not to miss the moment when I pop it out of the pans. They know if they're there at the right time and ask with those big blue eyes, they're sure to get a warm slice spread with butter.....talk about comfort food!!! Posted for safe-keeping - made public at the request of a friend who calls me "The Bread Lady" - anytime we have a field trip with a picnic, she is always inspecting my kids' lunches trying to figure out my "secret".....she brings her kids over and says, "See how good that bread looks? If I could get my bread like that, wouldn't you eat it?" I don't even know what my secret is.......but here's the recipe for you! Good Luck! I mix and knead this with a KitchenAid stand mixer using the dough hook attachment. **NOTE** Flour amounts will not be the same if using store bought all-purpose or wheat flour.
Top Review by mariposa1104
Great Recipe! I use 2 cups spelt, 2 cups Khorasan (the un-trademarked Kamut) and 1 cup soft white wheat. Also to share a little secret, I use 2 tablespoons of ground flax and 2 tablespoons of water mixed together to replace the gluten and dough enhancer. I add the flax/water mix to the wet ingredients as I am adding to the flour mix and the bread rises beautifully every time! And you get the extra flax goodness in your bread :) Happy Baking!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄3 cup oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 1⁄2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 6 -6 1⁄2 cups freshly milled flour
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons dough enhancer or 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lecithin powder
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons gluten
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine water, milk, oil, honey and salt in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for approximately 2 1/2 minutes. (Temp should be between 130 - 135°F) If you do not have a thermometer, it is easy to get it too hot. and it will kill your yeast. Microwaves can also vary greatly in how fast they heat. Adjust as necessary.
- In mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, dough enhacer or lecithin, gluten and yeast; mix together.
- Add liquid ingredients and mix until well blended.
- Continue to mix adding the flour 1/2 cup at a time.
- When the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl enough flour has been added.
- Allow to knead 8-10 minutes, or until the dough forms a smooth ball .
- Form into 2 loaves.
- Place in greased loaf pans.
- Let rise until at least doubled in size (about an hour). Yes, that's right - I only let the dough rise once.
- Bake loaves at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
- *Note: One package of yeast is about 2-1/2 teaspoons of yeast.
- *Note#2: Once, when I was rushed, I skipped the first rising time and just put the dough into my 2 loaf pans, let them rise and then baked. I couldn't tell any difference in the bread, so now I often do it this way.
- *Note #3: I also often substitute another cup of water for the cup of milk.
- *Note #4: I use a combination of the following: 1 cup soft white, 2 cups hard white, and 2 cups hard white BEFORE grinding.

Do not waste your money on this attorney. She is going through a lot of personal and medical issues and will only take your retainer for personal gain. I was referred to her by another attorney office, whom supposed to collect part of the retainer in case Ms. Mangan was not available. It is even mentioned on the initial contract, but such referral law firm NEVER received that part of the retainer paid. So for starters she gave me a false contract, which tells you a lot of what kind of attorney she is. She wil NEVER answer texts, phone calls, or voicemails, the only way she will answer is if you call her or text her from an unknown number, and when she does she gives you a million medical and personal excuses of why she couldn't answer. Also, just days after giving her a $3,000 retainer she moved out of her office to work from home without giving me any heads up. I think that moving from an office to work from home is a very important fact to tell a client that is handing $3,000 at once, but no, she did not. Again, it says a lot about her ethical behavior. She will never keep you updated on the billing and the retainer magically dissapears without any details on what it was spent on. She will deliberately ask for another retainer without explanation, or detail invoicing, of what happened to the first one. I read the previous review and it is exactly the same situation, every time is an excuse of why things were not done and she is always at the hospital some how. Also, do not expect for her to return any papers from your case file, I am still waiting for months now for her to return my file, even though she knows I am expecting to go to a trial soon. In conclusion, this lawyer uses the retainer just for her personal benefit and will give you a thousand excuses on why things are not being done. I worked with her for about two years and nothing got achieved, zero, my case was still standing in the same place it was since I hired her. She also text to request information on the same mornings that hearings were held, and worst of all, information that was already previously given to her. A complete lack of organization in something as important as a divorce. She will continuesly talks about her personal divorce proceeding which threw me off guard every time, making comments like "my ex-husband told me to take a Xanax," completely unprofessional. I decided to represent myself and in only one single hearing half of the issues were resolved without the need of her services. Again, do not waste your money in this lawyer and unfortunately these kind of scammers is what give the lawyer community a bad rep. Will report her to the Bar Association because she has broken every ethical rule in existence. Again, be ware and do not give any money to this scammer.

Gladys is a awful lawyer! Do not take your time, money and legal issues with her. She was a BIG waste of time and money I have ever spent on an attorney. I hired her to represent me for a divorce and she was unresponsive, hard to get a hold of ( takes weeks to get back to you) and on top of it did absolutely NO work on my case. I wasted $3500 and I'm in the process of hiring a new attorney due to her negligence. She didn't even know how to set up mediation properly. She told me she scheduled it but then gave me multiple excuses as why it wasn't scheduled. I even had to put in my own financial information in her system that I previously gave her multiple times. She always had an excuse as to why something/nothing was happening involving my case ( her own divorce, health problems and etc...) Awful customer service skills and would NOT recommend her to anyone.
Posted by Lisa
Before I hired Gladys, I worked with several attorneys in two different counties. I thought they were great attorneys until I hired Gladys. She has made maneuvering through the legal system understandable and a lot less painful to deal with. She spoke to me in terms I could understand and helped me make informed decisions in my case. She even told me that some of the things I asked for needed to be fair to both sides and even some of the suggestions were not exactly how I would have moved foward with, she explained the most ethical paths and, taking her advice, both sides of the case ended up pleased with the outcome. If you want an excellent attorney, you must hire her. I didn't regret it and I know you wont either.

went there after a nice full meal at hooters next door. bartender was very friendly and accomodating. she wasn't really beer savvy but knew good from bad pretty well. i would definitely go back anytime. great place with great prices and huge selection

Great beer selections. Stone, Great Lakes.

This is a beat up, old dive bar with a gorgeous view of the river. There is a jukebox and foosball, so I'm happy enough. We were here on a Monday night and there were a total of 10 patrons milling around. The beer selection is very solid. I had some Breakfast stout and Two Hearted. the Two Hearted even tasted clean and fresh, to my surprise. I had a pizza which had really good crust and plenty of toppings. I'd come back here, especially for a late night hang out.
hotstuff (74) Fort Wayne, Indiana | September 19, 2006
Nice beerbar on the river with a nice view of Cincinnati especially on a sunny, warm September Saturday afternoon. Received quick, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive service. Food was served in a timely manner and cooked to expectation. Establishment was not at all busy upon arrival, but business did pick up as the afternoon went on. Servers were able to keep up with the crowd in terms of serving up drinks and food in a very timely manner. All in all, nice place to hang out at on a Saturday afternoon and talk beer with the servers and enjoy the scenery. Will definitely visit again.
retracsp (1) Cincinnati, Ohio | July 31, 2011
Love going to this place when the night begins. I always try a new beer everytime I go. If you're visiting the Cincinnati area... Defenitely a place you have to visit.
WhiteGuyJerome (1) Latonia, Kentucky | January 3, 2007
Great selection of beers, and a nice enough place to drink them; however, the live entertainment usually blows, and the place has been somewhat dead recently. When it does get crowded, it suffers from the same problems as any bar: annoying, plastered 21-year-olds, sardine-can conditions, smoke, etc. For my money, this place is best visited on a Tuesday or Wednesday night when no crowd is to be expected and there's no live music. Either that, or for a couple of hours before a Reds game, followed by a pleasant stumble over to the ballpark. Good times.
jsf23mr (15) Chicago, Illinois | June 2, 2010
I really like this place. Tons of beers on tap and bottles. Atmosphere is great with a live band. Sits right on the river overlooking Cincinnati. Has an outdoor patio with a hooter right next door. Caught a ferry back from the reds game. Definitely a place you should try out.
AguynamedTodd (101) Illinois | September 8, 2011
This place is similiar in style to the one in Indy. Open, kind of sport bar style with lots of beers on tap. Service is questionable; very dependent on who waits on you. Beer quality is also questionable; sometimes you can get a bad beer, whether from the tap or in bottle. Better beer management is needed.
b3shine (334) Indiana | July 18, 2012
This place has so much potential... Unfulfilled potential. They have a TON of beers on tap, but never really have anything special...ever. And most importantly, THEY DON'T CLEAN THEIR LINES!!! Service is okay, but most employees don't know anything about beer. What a bummer!
Terminus (367) St. Louis, Missouri | March 2, 2010
I had a decent experience here. The bartender was this hot blonde who was really talkative/slutty, which i guess helped my situation. The taps look really nice, but i can see that some people have had really infected beers, probably because they dont rotate that often. however, i had Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgearld and it was fantastic! I love that beer! I would go back again if i was ever in the Cinci area.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Buick vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile. Buick automobile owners have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their Special around town. When your Buick Special rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who wants a trusted name in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your Special because you wanted to buy efficiency and American style both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
Your transmission requires regular maintenance and quality parts to keep a long service life. The automatic transmission on your Buick Special uses a large quantity of hydraulic fluid to both lubricate and actuate some of the internal components. Thus, an automatic transmission filter is required to keep dirt and impurities out of the fluid as it circulates through the transmission. Your car or truck needs to have its automatic transmission filter replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer). Your Buick Special automatic transmission filter is not the same as an oil or air filter, and usually requires the transmission pan be dropped and all the fluid drained so that it can be replaced.
Don't let a Transmission Filter repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the highest quality repair parts. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Get your Special back on the road with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Buick Special Transmission Filter for your 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964 model.

Powering Up
Country Fair adds more brands as its e-cigarette business growsBy Kathleen Furore
Tobacco products have always been an important component of Country Fair Inc.?s inventory, but the move to add electronic cigarettes to its lineup was not an easy one to make for the Erie, Pa.-based company that operates 71 convenience stores in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio.
?The decision to carry e-cigs was not, as they say, a ?no brainer? because cigarette sales at Country Fair had been trending positively when the rest of the market had experienced declines,? recalled Jaime Pukylo, Country Fair?s sales manager. ?But looking at the future and realizing that our growth in cigarette sales was unsustainable in the long run, we determined that we would enter this category and look to be proactive and leaders in our market area.?
The company dipped its toe into the category in early 2012, adding the NJOY brand as a test in seven stores. That November, Country Fair added e-cigarettes in all of its stores and has never looked back. The blu eCigs brand joined the lineup at all locations in January 2013, followed by FIN and 21st Century Smoke e-cigarettes and Jazz e-cigars in August.
?Sales were slow to begin with, but have grown each and every month since,? Pukylo reported. ?We are actively looking at adding two more brands in the next quarter to bring our e-cigs to six brands, plus the e-cigars, which have been a pleasant surprise.?
Cigarettes, along with smokeless and other tobacco items, remain important players in Country Fair?s profit picture. According to Pukylo, tobacco contributes more than 50 percent of retail sales, not including fuel, and more than 35 percent of gross margin to the bottom line.
While the e-cigarette portion of the tobacco inventory is increasing, it still represents just a fraction of the overall category?s sales, he noted.
?The average space allocated to tobacco ranges from 10 feet to 16 feet, with the average being 12 feet. Most stores have three or four 4-foot shelves dedicated to e-cigs,? Pukylo said. The e-cigarettes are merchandised on the back-bar area under smokeless tobacco, while NJOY Kings also enjoy prominent placement on the front counters in a locking spinner display.
To boost awareness of its e-cigarette offerings, Country Fair added door graphics showcasing the brands it carries, and has done some newspaper and web advertising. The company?s website also features a rotating ?We Now Carry E-Cigarettes? message, complete with the logos of the brands that its stores stock.
While sales differ from store to store, those with associates able to engage customers ?sell quite a bit more product,? Pukylo explained. Recognizing the benefit of an educated sales staff, Country Fair created a one-page handout, ?In The Know,? that provides answers to questions customers typically have about e-cigarettes and e-cigars. Among the facts employees are equipped with: electronic products contain no nicotine, no tobacco and no tar.
?Hopefully, this will result in continued growth,? Pukylo said.
Because Country Fair prices its e-cigarettes competitively and enjoys margins on the electronic products ranging from 35 percent to 40 percent, the company hasn?t turned to deep discounting to drive sales. Prices for a single disposable e-cigarette range from $7.99 to $9.99, while five-packs of cartridges sell for $15.99 to $19.99.
?We have done only one promotion and that was a buy-one-get-one (BOGO) NJOY deal,? Pukylo said. ?We had a solid sell-through and it seemed to give the NJOY Kings a lift after the deal was offered.?
So far, e-cigarettes have not put a dent in Country Fair?s traditional cigarette sales, Pukylo said, but it wouldn?t necessarily be a problem if they eventually do.
?If margins were to stay, it would not be a terrible tradeoff, as one e-cig is equivalent to two packs of cigarettes but three times the margin,? he explained. ?In my travels, I have taken the opportunity to engage e-cig users and have found that most only use them when they are unable to light a cigarette in places such as bars and sporting events. Less than one in 10 mentioned using them as a means to stop smoking.?
Much about e-cigarettes? future appears bright. The demographics of e-cigarette users, for example, ?seem to be younger but evenly split between the sexes, which bodes well for future sales,? according to Pukylo.
But that future depends in large part on what happens at the federal level where regulations are concerned. In early March, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted to prohibit the use of e-cigarettes wherever regular tobacco products are banned. Chicago, Boston and New York City, along with more than 100 other municipalities nationwide, also currently regulate e-cigarette use. The jury is still out, however, on whether or not the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be able to regulate e-cigarettes in the same way it is authorized to regulate cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco at the national level.
In October, the FDA sent a proposed rule that would bring e-cigarettes under FDA jurisdiction to the White House?s Office of Management and Budget. The proposed rule would require companies to register and pay fees, list the ingredients in their products, obtain prior approval for new products, and restrict online sales and marketing to children, according to media reports.
Country Fair ? like all retailers that sell e-cigarettes ? is waiting and bracing for the FDA?s move.
?Overall, Country Fair is pleased with sales and profits from the e-cig line and expects growth in the future, but not necessarily at the double digits we see presently. The true unknown in this category is what the fallout will be once the FDA makes decisions regarding the line. I am sure that it will challenge us to continue to grow the category,? Pukylo said. ?We have taken measures such as no sales to those under 18 years of age and no self-serve access to products. The big hit will be if they disallow flavors, as that is a decent portion of present sales.?

Kakita Renshu was a Kakita Daimyo in the earliest days of Rokugan. He had a border dispute with a Phoenix shugenja named Isawa Jirichi. Renshu sent his follower Kakita Iwasaki to negotiate, who returned with new clan borders that strongly favored the Crane. Renshu decided to grant Kakita Iwasaki [[vassal family] status in return for his great performance, althoug Iwasaki refused. The success had been achieved through the intervention of one of his followers, the young courtier Kakita Sayuri. She had used her geisha relations to get information and handed over to Iwasaki to his advantage. Renshu declared Sayuri to be the Iwasaki family's first daimyo, granting her the city her lord had once commanded, Shiro Iwasaki. [1]

Act now on city's pollution crisis, warn campaigners
Green group urges measures on roads and at sea as environment official pledges 'big moves' on city's pollution crisis ahead of policy address
Related topics
Air quality at shopping and commercial districts is continuing to decline ahead of new measures to curb the city's pollution problem, says a green group's review.
The group, Clean Air Network, has called for bold and immediate action to improve air quality, including implementing rules to scrap old diesel trucks and make all sea vessels switch to cleaner fuel.
Undersecretary for the Environment Christine Loh Kung-wai echoed their wishes, suggesting yesterday that tough action was on the way. "We will have big moves," she told a meeting of the Legislative Council's subcommittee on air quality. "After all the money is spent … there will be apparent changes on the roads."
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying is expected to announce, in his maiden policy address on Wednesday, a generous subsidy scheme to replace old vehicles .
Clean Air Network's call came after their review found no improvement in the roadside nitrogen dioxide level in Mong Kok, despite bus firms agreeing in 2011 to deploy low emission vehicles to busy districts.
The pollutant's annual average concentration in the area hit a new record of 122 micrograms per cubic metre last year - 1.6 per cent higher than the previous record set in 2011.
And although there were slight improvements the nitrogen dioxide levels in Central and Causeway Bay - dropping to 117mcg and 120mcg from 125mcg and 126mcg respectively last year - these levels were still at least three times the limit advised by the World Health Organisation.
The pollutant, which can cause respiratory and heart diseases in cases of over-exposure, has become one of the city's biggest problems in recent years.
While roadside sulphur dioxide and particulate levels have fallen, nitrogen dioxide levels have surged since 2008, peaking in 2011. Officials blame bus and truck emissions, poor maintenance of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) vehicles and chemical reactions with other pollutants.
Clean Air Network's chief executive officer, Kwong Sum-yin, said old diesel trucks and franchised buses were the main culprits of pollution in Mong Kok.
The group's review also found that Sham Shui Po and Kwai Chung - districts situated close to the container ports and key logistic routes - remained the most affected by sulphur pollution.
Addressing the issue of pollution by marine emission, Loh said legislation was necessary to make vessels switch to cleaner fuel. She said if this was done, Hong Kong would be the first in Asia to introduce such rules. "What should be done must be done with great force," she said.
Loh said she had asked two local universities to submit proposals on long-term research on public health and air pollution.
This was crucial to show the health costs of pollution and the benefits of curbing it, she said.
Professor Anthony Hedley, of the University of Hong Kong, told the subcommittee yesterday that American studies had showed that for every US dollar spent on cleaning up the air, four dollars of benefits were generated.
An index, named after Hedley and which tracks real-time air pollution, showed that poor air quality caused more than 3,000 premature deaths and monetary loss of HK$39 billion last year.
A spokesman for the Environmental Protection Department said most roadside pollutants showed a slight to moderate drop in concentration last year, compared to the 2005 levels.
But the nitrogen dioxide level was 24 per cent higher than in 2005. He said the number of days when the roadside air pollution index was over 100 also fell, from 172 days to 142 last year.

My feelings..
It's hard when you have been trying and trying to get pregnant and EVERYONE around you is getting pregnant while your still trying. It took me 2 years to get pregnant with my 1st ( and I wasn't supposed to have any). I lost one of my ovaries a few years before that and they said my chances were very slim. Don't ever give up. Sometimes it just takes longer for people to get pregnant than others.

Stephen Fry, one of Britain's most beloved actors and television presenters, has announced he will quit Twitter for a month because it is "unsafe" for him to continue.
Fry, 57, tweeted to his 7.84 million followers on Thursday evening that he was filming over the next month and would refrain from sending any tweets.
Closing down on Twitter while filming. In a place whence I've been advised it is safest not to tweet. See you December. Here goes... — Stephen Fry (@stephenfry)
November 6, 2014

But after Wednesday's announcement of the new film's name, it is understood filming has concluded.
"You're either filming in Parliament or a football club dressing room then. Good luck, see you in December," another follower speculatively tweeted Fry.
@stephenfry I bet it's Star Wars, and they've cast you as a flamboyant entrepreneur selling Bocce thesaurii. — Vinz (Massive DMG) (@retroga_me)
November 6, 2014
@stephenfry I'm taking that as code for, "I'm in the new Star Wars movie!!!" — chris (notnixon) (@notnixon)
November 6, 2014
It isn't the first time Fry has opted to back off on Twitter - he did so in 2009 because he felt there was "too much aggression and unkindness around".
Fry, best known for hosting the popular quiz show QI on BBC1 and his role in Blackadder in the 1980s, has had a troubled few years of late, revealing he attempted to commit suicide in 2012.
He said he took a number of pills and alcohol while filming abroad, but was saved by his producer who found him in his bed.
Fry also opened up to Channel Seven's Sunday Night program in October about his cocaine addiction.
"I took to it [cocaine] because I've never hated any person or anything as much as I hate parties and I discovered it was the only way I could survive them," Fry said.

The Mersey River, formerly known as Rivière Rossignol by the Acadians, is a river in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is named after the River Mersey in Liverpool, England. The river proper flows from the eastern end of Eleven Mile Lake in Annapolis County southward to Kejimkujik Lake in Kejimkujik National Park, then through Lake Rossignol to empty into the Atlantic Ocean at the town of Liverpool, Nova Scotia. The true source of the river however is as far northwest as Sandy Bottom Lake (Annapolis County) or Tuskopeake Brook (Annapolis County) on the northern tributary.
The river was a major transportation route for the Mi'kmaq people of Nova Scotia. Later, it was used to transport logs out of the interior of the province. The river was described in Albert Bigelow Paine's The Tent Dwellers, albeit under the name 'Liverpool river'. There are a number of hydroelectric projects on the river, which has been exploited for more than a hundred years.[3]
Much of the headwater area is composed of fen.[4] It is a popular river for novice canoeists. Smallmouth bass has been found in the Mersey and neighbouring watersheds.[5]

Apparently, it's not enough for the City Council to regulate dog droppings and smoking, and to go ahead an build and purchase a downtown convention center hotel just for us. Now the council's public safety committee is considering expanding the city's current juvenile curfew (11 p.m.-6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday; 12:01-6 a.m. weekends) to 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. on school days, acording to the DMN. Now there's nothing wrong with keeping juveniles off the street, especially when they're supposed to be in school, but how many initiatives can the city really afford to police these days. With three people (and $165,000 or so) being added to the city budget to police the newly enacted no-smoking-in-bars ordinance, do we really have the money and the civic will to stop every juvenile wandering the streets to see what they're up to? It sounds like a great idea, but how much policing can the city afford to get involved with when it comes to individual liberties?

I did cellulaze at a clinic in London last August. I had tried endermologie, carboxy, velashape, and even Fraxel on my legs before that to try and get rid of the cellulite. I still definitely have some on my butt, but I found cellulaze to be the most effective treatment so far and 11 months later, the results still seem to be lasting. Obviously diet and exercise are the most important parts of cellulite prevention; I try to exercise at least 3 times a week and keep a good diet, but the issue is genetic too and for me, the only way to really tackle it was to have this treatment. It was very expensive, but I think, overall , it was worth it.

The first report of an ESBL in Ireland was of an outbreak of
The objective of this report is to describe the changing prevalence of ESBLs from all clinical sites in the hospital and community over a period of 4.5 years. The data clarify the extent of dissemination of ESBLs in the hospital and community and should inform clinical and public health awareness of this growing problem.
Galway University Hospitals (GUH: University College Hospital Galway (UCHG) and Merlin Park Hospital) and Roscommon County Hospital have a combined total of 1052 inpatient beds and about 44,000 admissions per year. They are the major hospital service providers for counties Roscommon and Galway in the west of Ireland. The Clinical Microbiology service at GUH serves these hospitals, approximately 90 nursing homes and General Practitioners in much of Galway, Roscommon and parts of Mayo. The population of these 3 counties in 2006 was 341,863 (
All hospital and community isolates of
From July 2004 to end of March 2005 ESBLs were identified based on the then current NCCLS criteria for screening for ESBLs with cefotaxime (zone diameter ≤27 mm) and cefuroxime (zone diameter ≤22 mm). From April 2005 to December 2008 first line susceptibility testing of all urinary
Galway University Hospitals and Roscommon County Hospital share a networked patient and laboratory information system. Data on all ESBL isolates were extracted and manually cross-referenced between the laboratory and hospital databases. For each patient the request date, date of admission, time from admission to culture, date of discharge, 30 day mortality, 1 year mortality, date of death, admission to any of the three hospitals in the previous year, hospital number, specimen number, specimen type, patient name, date of birth, clinician name, location, hospital code, patient address and age were recorded. Permission for the study was granted by the Director of Pathology. Ethical permission was granted by the head of the hospital ethics committee.
For all analysis except the comparison with the EARSS data, only the first isolate was included for each patient. To compare the prevalence of resistance between community patients (i.e. patients not in hospital or a LSF at time of isolation), hospitalised inpatients and LSF residents, a
Over the 4.5 year period 974 ESBL isolates were cultured from all sites from 464 patients. Of these patients 304 (65.5%) were female, 391 (84.3%) isolates were from urine, 29 (6.3%) sputum and 16 (3.5%) from blood cultures. Considering the first isolate per patient (n = 464)
A slight majority of samples were from hospital inpatients (256, 55.4%) with LSF residents accounting for 26.2% (n = 67) of the hospital inpatients. Most of the hospital inpatients who were residents of LSF (n = 54) has been admitted to one of the study hospitals in the previous year. Of the 233 hospital patients with admission data available, ESBLs were cultured from 66 (28.3%) within 2 days of admission. Of the patients who cultured an ESBL more than 2 days after admission, the median period from admission to ESBL culture was 16 days (3–801). Just under half patients (44.6%) were from the community with LSF residents representing 34.5% of the 206 community patients. It is important to note however 89 (43.2%) of the community patients were not admitted to hospital in the previous year and did not reside in a LSF.
At the beginning of April 2005 (end of third quarter) the approach to screening for ESBL was changed from the application of NCCLS criteria for ceftazidime and cefotaxime to ampicillin-resistant

Data for a survival analysis were available for 464 patients of whom 124 had a known date of death and the others for whom the survival time was censored at the final study date. Overall the median survival time was 488 days (from 0–1856 days). The median survival time of the deceased patients was 76 days (0–926 days). The 30 day all-cause mortality was 9.7%. A Cox regression analysis of the survival times of patients with an ESBL infection was performed. Included risk factors were age, gender, nursing home resident,
Age, gender and previous hospital admission were significant risk factors in the model. Being admitted to hospital in the year prior to the isolation of the ESBL increased the hazard ratio to 2.7 (95% CI 1.8-4.2). Being male increased the hazard ratio to 2.3 (95% CI 1.6-3.3) and for every year older the hazard ratio increased with 1.03 (1.01-1.04). When age was categorised into those over and under 60, the hazard ratio was 2.4 (95% CI 1.4-4.3) for the older group. Figures

From a clinical perspective the data indicate that at present meropenem remains a reliable agent for treatment of ESBLs and amikacin is also active in most cases. Nitrofurantoin is important in that it is active against most ESBLs and there is no clear trend to increasing resistance. We have not included data on beta-lactams other than meropenem in the analysis however it is appropriate to note that a significant number of isolates are susceptible in vitro to coamoxiclav and piperacillin/tazobactam. The role of these agents in therapy of ESBL related infection has been the subject of much debate although recently a consensus has emerged that with the application of current interpretive criteria for beta-lactams agents an in-vitro susceptible result may be accepted clinically relevant (
The change in detection method from the application of cefotaxime/ceftazidime screening criteria to ampicillin-resistant isolates to the screening of all isolates with cefpodoxime in April 2004 resulted in a dramatic step increase in the number of ESBLs detected. In Ireland as in other countries, the extent of ESBL dissemination has most likely been underestimated due to limited application of appropriate detection methods in Irish laboratories as has been shown in other countries
Our assessment shows an increase in the percentage of ESBL-producing
Residence in a nursing home is widely recognised as a risk factor for acquisition for ESBLs and we and others have published evidence of transfer of isolates between nursing home residents
The data indicate that in patients from whom ESBLs have been isolated overall 30 day all-cause mortality was 9.7% and that male sex, increasing age and previous hospital admission were independently associated with higher mortality. The same risk factors were shown to be associated with community ESBL infections by Ben-Ami et al.
This study has a number of limitations. There was limited clinical data, no data on antimicrobial exposure and no control group. Details of co-morbidities and risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, liver disease, malignancy, renal dysfunction, presence of long term urinary catheters or inadequate empirical therapy are absent. As we did not have access to all databases of all hospitals it is possible that some patients were misclassified with respect to hospital admission in the previous year. Nevertheless we believe the data contribute to improved understanding of the epidemiology of ESBL transmission and in particular the extent to which ESBLs are now common even in those with no apparent prior engagement with the health care services. Reducing and optimising antimicrobial use across all sectors is accepted as a key intervention to limit the spread of acquired antimicrobial-resistance. A 2008 report examining antimicrobial consumption in Irish Acute hospitals (
The particular association of high levels of co-resistance to other classes of antimicrobial agents with isolates from residents of nursing homes is of concern. The extent to which it is possible to limit spread of antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in nursing homes is questionable. It is generally not practical in a nursing home to achieve the standards of infection control practice that are expected in an acute care setting. It would almost certainly not be possible to maintain the extent of patient segregation that is common in acute hospitals. Furthermore antimicrobial consumption in nursing homes is likely to be difficult to restrict. Supporting older people to continue to live in their own communities may be the most effective approach to addressing this problem in addition to the many other benefits associated with maintaining independent living for as long as possible.
This study was the first extensive epidemiological assessment of Irish ESBL-producing isolates and reveals their increasing prevalence in community, hospital and long stay patients and gives a preliminary assessment of the associated mortality. The finding that ESBL isolates from residents of nursing homes are associated with higher levels of co-resistance to other classes of antimicrobial agents, in particular higher levels of co-resistance than isolates from hospital patients not admitted from nursing homes was unexpected and worrying. This suggests that nursing homes may play an important part in amplification and dissemination of multiply-resistant ESBLs. The data should help improve clinical and public health awareness of this issue and aid development of local empiric antimicrobial regimens for community acquired bloodstream and urinary tract infections.

What's your cut?
Friendly piece of advice, don't launch a site when it's not done, much less advertise it. Also, read up on basic UI/UX.
Maybe start with switching the checkboxes for radio buttons and adding a confirmation message. Maybe try wordpress for your first website (I imagine you're new at this)
This site looks too amateur for anyone to actually use it and the name doesn't make sense, where is the app?
Last, don't give up..fail and try again
Mar 17, 2015, 10:16 PM #4
no.take it to the shark tank
Mar 17, 2015, 10:28 PM #5
Another piece of advice is don't come on a FREE site where others pay to advertise and try and get free ad space. You gotta pay to play douche rocket. And as was already stated get your crap together before trying to launch a site. Sounds like the North Korean rocket launches. My prediction is this here tread will get deleted.

Phil Hughes and Ryan Harris loom as potential inclusions for the first Test of the home summer, as Australia offers no excuses and no overnight solutions for the abysmal performances against Pakistan.
Michael Clarke will land in Sydney on Wednesday to confront more questions about his side's succession of failures in Asia, but the relentless schedule means he and the Cricket Australia hierachy have no choice but to move on to the next challenges - a limited-overs series against formidable South Africa and the four-Test series against India starting at the Gabba in Brisbane on December 4.
David Warner, Steve Smith and Mitch Marsh are the only Australians to come home with enhanced reputations from the United Arab Emirates, while others have made themselves vulnerable.
At 37, Chris Rogers knows he is only ever one bad series away from being at risk, and with 88 runs for the series at an average of 22, it remains to be seen whether he has enough credits from last season's exploits against England and South Africa to withstand a renewed push for Hughes, who didn't play against Pakistan.
"I'm really disappointed that Phil Hughes didn't get an opportunity this series," said South Australia coach Darren Berry ahead of the opener's return for the round of Sheffield Shield games starting on Saturday.
"He went over early to prepare, he's done the hard yards, he deserved a chance but he didn't get it. But he will come back again ... he has got to put some runs on the board to knock on the door for that first Test now. Hughes should be in that team, I don't mind saying that."
While there are fresh questions about who should face the new ball with Warner at the Gabba, Harris has stepped up his quest to share the new ball with Mitchell Johnson, who was the best of a bad lot in unhelpful conditions in the UAE.
Harris was unhappy with his bowling in a second XI game for Queensland on Monday, in which he took 3-61.
But after the worst Australian bowling effort in a Test series - the attack collectively conceded 80.15 runs per wicket - the emphasis will be on Harris getting enough overs under his belt before the first Test as he builds in his return from knee surgery. Harris is aiming to play the shield match against NSW at the Gabba from November 16.
Brad Haddin has been cleared of a fractured shoulder and Clarke said he expected him to be fit for the series against India, but that was a rare piece of heartening news for the Australians.
Clarke refused to point the finger at the batsmen or the bowlers, though was unhappy with his "unacceptable" return of 57 runs in four innings.
Although he made an unbeaten 161 three Tests ago, Clarke is averaging 29.4 in 12 innings this year - his worst return since he was dropped in 2005.
"I have always prided myself on leading by example, and in the series that we have lost since I have been captain I have been able at least to stand up and lead from the front, whereas in this series I haven't done that," Clarke said.
"I don't have any excuse or reason for it, I feel like I have been working as hard as I can be on my game, I have been hitting a lot of balls. Obviously I haven't played as much cricket as I would have liked.
"I don't have any excuse for underperforming and I will be judged like any other player that's underperformed.
"That's what burns me at the most at this time. There's no doubt I am disappointed we lost the series 2-0, but when you are captain you take things personally and when you don't perform that makes it even harder."
Clarke defended his bowlers, saying the team's poor batting and dropping of 11 chances had not helped.
The captain lamented that Australia had not learnt the lessons from last year's 4-nil loss in India, and team performance manager Pat Howard echoed Clarke's sentiments when he said there were no quick answers.
"We're not looking for excuses for what happened in the UAE. No one is blaming a coin toss or the pitches that we played on," he said.
"Pakistan showed just how well a team can bat on those wickets and they deserve a lot of credit for how they performed. All aspects of our game - batting, bowling and fielding were well below par.
"To be a great side, we have to be able to win consistently on the road, and it's clear that we still struggle to cope with dry sub-continental conditions.
"We're working hard to address our weakness against spin by getting more overs into spinners in the Sheffield Shield and installing dedicated spin pitches at the NCC.
"We will also continue to use spin coaching consultants to help our bowlers and batsmen perform better in those conditions, as well as running a range of assimilation tours to the sub-continent for our elite development squads.
"All of those things will bring about improvement, but in no way are they an overnight solution. It will take time and hard work.
Howard and Clarke both singled out Marsh for praise, given the young allrounder showed the application and patience missing in many of the more senior batsmen.
It is conceivable both Marsh and Shane Watson could play at the Gabba, with Watson likely to step into the No. 3 position occupied by Alex Doolan and Glen Maxwell in the UAE.

Oatmeal Molasses Bread
Recipe by Amber 505
This is the closest I can get to the bread that is served at Black Angus Restaurants.
Top Review by Outta Here
Really flavorful and a nice texture. I have never had Black Angus bread, so had no clue what it should look like, and the instructions weren't quite clear. Were the three balls put side by side in a loaf pan (bread pan) or a square or round pan? I put mine side by side in a loaf pan and got a funny looking loaf, so maybe it was supposed to be three separate round loaves? I also cut recipe in half to fit a smaller pan. That being said, the bread turned out very good. I will just put it all in one piece in the loaf pan next time, though. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 2 cups warm water
- 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 3⁄8 cup molasses
- 1⁄8 cup vegetable shortening
- 1⁄2 tablespoon salt

Directions See How It's Made
- Dissolve the yeast in one cup of lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon of the sugar.
- In a separate bowl combine the remaining water with the molasses, shortening and salt.
- Add the remaining sugar and the yeast mixture, mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour mix.
- Place dough on a light floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 12 minutes.
- Place dough in a grease bowl, turn dough over to grease the other side.
- Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Divide into three portions and shape into balls.
- Place three balls side by side in a baking pan.
- Brush top lightly with melted margarine and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 375F degrees.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the golden brown (use the lowest rack in the oven).

HEADLINE: White House Pushing Tax Cuts; Catching up With Democratic Presidential Candidates
GUESTS: Lindsey Graham
BYLINE: Judy Woodruff, John King, Jonathan Karl, Candy Crowley, Candy Crowley, William Schneider
The White House is pushing tax cuts. Also, catching up with Democratic presidential candidates.
WOODRUFF: OK, Bill Schneider reporting, thank you very much. Well, as far as some Republicans are concerned, their own Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, has some explaining to do about the tax cut side deal that has complicated the president's political life.
Let's talk now with one Republican senator, he is Lindsay Graham who joins us from his home state of South Carolina. Senator, why is Senator Frist in so much trouble with members of his own party?
SEN. LINDSAY GRAHAM ®, SOUTH CAROLINA: Well, I don't think trouble is the right word. A lot of us are disappointed that a deal was cut to limit the size of the tax cut to $350 billion. The House, as you knew, passed a budget resolution that had a range of 350 to 550 over ten years. The day of the vote, there was a deal struck with a couple of senators that said that we would not support anything in the Finance Committee above 350. I just think that's unacceptable. That compromises what the president's trying to do.
And the good news is Senator Frist understands that was a mistake. He has done something I very rarely have seen in Washington. He came forward and said that was a mistake. He's apologized to the House. And I don't know if we can fix this or not, but recognizing that deal was a mistake is a really good start.
WOODRUFF: You said you don't know if it can be fixed or not. Right now, the Republicans in the Senate who are saying we're not going to go any higher than $350 billion say they're just not going to budge. So how could this get fixed?
GRAHAM: Well, the president's going to weigh in here and tell the public exactly what he's trying to do. There's nothing magic about the number 350. $550 Billion over a ten-year period in an $11- trillion-a-year economy is not very much. It's two cents on the dollar, Judy, that we will collect in taxes over the next ten years. We're going to collect about $24 trillion in taxes.
The dividend tax aspect is very important to me, eliminating double taxation of dividends so it would be easier to raise capital, make stock investment more attractive. If that's not in the deal, there's not going to be much economic stimulus. We need to eliminate the marriage tax sooner rather than later. We need to cut rates. We need to do things in the 350 package. But if there's no economic stimulus package, then the 350 is not going to a achieve the goal. And I'm about achieving the goal of jump starting the economy.
WOODRUFF: Well, not to get too caught up on numbers, but it sounds like you are saying it doesn't have to be 550 billion either, is that right?
GRAHAM: Right, Judy. If there's not a substantial reduction of double taxation of dividend rates, at least in half, then I don't see myself voting for the deal. I want to eliminate the marriage penalty. I want to accelerate the child tax credits.
But consumer spending has kept the economy going. That helps consumer spending. We need something in the tax cut stimulus package, that stimulates an investment. And that's where the dividend elimination double taxation dividend comes about. And the dilemma we face is we're going to spend the money if we don't cut taxes.
WOODRUFF: The head of the Congressional Budget Office who used to work for President Bush says he's not sure it's going to have any stimulus on the economy. But very quickly, on Senator Charles Grassley, whose the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, he says the White House never complained in the hours after this vote. Is the White House guilty in some way of just looking the other way when all this was taking place?
GRAHAM: Judy, honestly, I think this happened very quickly. The goal was to pass a budget resolution. And people were willing to make a deal to pass a budget resolution. I don't believe the House would have ever voted for a budget resolution if they'd known that the Senate had not gone beyond 350. I can assure you I didn't know that was going to be a part of the deal. I think a mistake has been made, but people have dealt in good faith in the past. I think they will in the future.
Senator Grassley says he's going to keep his word to hold it at 350. I don't feel bound by this deal. As a senator from South Carolina, no one asked me. And my comment is when you ask is I'm going to fight for the president's tax cut in totality, and I don't feel bound by this. We should have a significant tax cut that provides economic stimulus or not one at all.
WOODRUFF: All right, Senator Lindsay Graham, we heard it from you. Thanks very much for talking to us in South Carolina. We appreciate it.
GRAHAM: Thank you. Thank you, Judy.

Aprotinin (with the trade name Trasylol) is a pharmaceutical product with its origins in the 1930s. The drug, long used to minimize or reduce bleeding during complicated surgical procedures, was first isolated from bovine (cow) glands in 1930 and later made from cow lungs. It was introduced into surgical procedures in the 1960s.
Aprotinin has long been suspected to cause a number of health risks, but meaningful research data was not available until 2006. A study performed that year showed a number of potential side effects, including:
- Anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock
- Thrombosis, or blood clots
- Acute renal failure
- Increased risk of heart attack, stroke and brain-related maladies
If you or someone you love has suffered injury after being prescribed Trasylol, GetLegal has the tools and resources to help you find skilled legal representation to protect your rights. Visit our attorney directory, look for your geographic location and find the best lawyer for your situation.

Since most of the reviews I read were positive, I decided to give this motel a chance. I booked for the Memorial Day weekend. The motel was really very nice. Just like it has already been said, my room was very clean although the furniture is dated. The a/c and fridge worked well and the drainage in the tub and sink was good. The signal for the Wi-Fi was very good. The office attendant was very friendly and check in was fast. Also, the lobby had a stack of brochures and menus for businesses in the area, which was very convenient. The motel is situated in a great location with many sites within walking distance. Some reviewers had mentioned a problem with noise. Yes, the motel is located right on a main road, and motorcycles seem to be a norm in this area, so expect that kind of noise. Otherwise, the only other noise I heard was the occasional car in the parking lot. Remember, it is a motel. Bed sheets were clean and the bed itself was comfortable. A couple of things I'd want to point out: 1) this property still uses keys (like others have reviewed) so you have to lock your room door yourself, it does not lock automatically. I had to get used to that again; and 2) there is a small museum right in the middle of the motel parking lot and pulling in/out can get tricky if you park near it with a large vehicle. I would stay here again for sure, the price can't be beat, especially if you don't plan on staying in the room often.
