Of Stenbock's four books, the last two had similar titles, The Shadow of Death: Poems, Songs and Sonnets (The Leadenhall Press: 1893) and Studies of Death: Romantic Tales (David Nutt: 1894). A little digging recently lead me to two contemporary reviews which I thought I would share here. The first is perhaps one of the snidest and more excoriating reviews I have ever seen, but for that reason it becomes almost as amusing a parody as it suggests of the book it reviews! It is from The Pall Mall Gazette of 1894
'The Shadow of Death by Count Eric Stanislaus Stenbock, is so very subtle a little book that we venture to think the author made a mistake in not adding a preface to give some hint of its real character. For want of some such explanation, there is every risk of the ordinary reader taking it seriously and throwing it forthwith behind the fire as a parcel of silly doggerel. Whereas really, of course, as becomes obvious after a little reflection it must be a parody - an elaborate and screaming parody of that latterday literary abortion, the youthful decadent. The slipshod versification, the maudlin sentiment, the affected preciousness, the sham mysticism and sham aestheticism, the ridiculous medley of Neo-Paganism and Neo-Catholicism, Verlaine and the Vulgate - all the nauseating characteristics of the type, in short, are here reproduced in lively burlesque, and the result is in its way quite one of the most amusing books we have ever seen. In his parodies of Sappho and Goethe it must be admitted Count Stenbock is not quite so happy; and is it not carrying mystification too far to describe them, as he does, as "paraphrases" and "translations"?'
The second, rather more measured review is from the Glasgow Herald in 1895:
'Studies of Death. Romantic Tales by Eric Count Stenbock (London: David Nutt, 1894). - On the quaint cover of this little volume we have presented to us, inter alia, an avenue of funereal cypresses, a couple of black cranes, a couple of owls (back and front view), a serpent and (we rather think, but we are not quite sure) a gravestone. Yes Studies of Death is not quite so depressing as it looks. It is true that in most of the little stories it contains people die; but, then, heroes and heroines die in novels, whatever may be printed on the title-page, and even without black crows, cypresses, and serpents on the cover. Count Stenbock's style, if it is really that of a foreigner, is remarkably good; an injudicious appreciation of the most objectionable feature of Kipling's writing - viz., oaths, is probably responsible for the language which soils the otherwise pretty tale of "The Egg of the Albatross." "Narcissus" perhaps shows the truest fancy. Amid much that is merely "precious" in this fantastic volume, we think we discern a writer of ability; at all events, the book is "curious"'

|Abilities and Powers
Intelligence: Dio is naturally intelligent, displaying cunning and perceptiveness as well as imagination repeatedly.
As a child and teenager, Dio Brando managed to achieve academic excellence with ease, having planned to graduate from university as the top law student.
Otherwise Dio is a cunning villain and proficient tactician in combat. Dio almost managed to get away from two murders, bidding his time in order to have a perfect alibi and was only discovered by accident. Upon his return from the bottom of the ocean, DIO built in six years a powerful criminal empire spanning over several continent and which brought him many riches. In a fight, Dio is particularly cunning and perceptive, his ruthlessness making him able to exploit dishonorable and downright inhuman tactics to get ahead, such as leading his enemies into a trap, using hapless civilians as projectile and source of energy, or plain sneak attacks. Dio has the habit of analyzing his opponent and determine quickly a counter to their strengths, such as freezing blood in order to stop the flow of the Ripple, or forcing Jotaro's bluff by throwing multiple knives from all direction so that he's forced to act during the stopped time.
Naturally ambitious, Dio constantly seeks to improve himself and meticulously studies his abilities to make the most of them. As such he developed a freezing power akin to the Pillar Men's Modes in just a month, and in six years, discovered enough about Stands to be able to fuse several together with souls in order to create the ultimate Stand. Arguably his most successful move, Dio experimented on how his vampiric powers allowed him to fuse two organisms together, and used that knowledge to steal Jonathan's body.
Though he doesn't show it often, Dio has become a natural philosopher, arguing about the human condition with multiple people.
Toughness: All prior to becoming a Vampire, Dio was already an able bare-handed fighter; A skill he says he developed in the slums of London. A good amateur sportsman, during a rugby game as a young adult, he is shown to have developed high athletic ability (as well as fantastic muscle mass).
Charisma: Dio is a cunning and charming individual. In addition to Stand Users, whom Avdol and Joseph suggest he recruits through sheer charm or charisma, he has seduced many women through his life.
Knowledge: Throughout both his humble youth and tempestuous maturity, Dio is often seen reading. During his pre-teens, he is seen playing chess with adults. In Part 6, in conversation with Enrico Pucci, he is shown to have accumulated some wisdom within the world of Stands. Importantly, Dio is able to concoct a plan, contained in his diary, incorporating vast, unknown information as to the deliberate creation of Stands of perfectly specific abilities.
- Main article: Vampire
Becoming a Vampire as a young adult, Dio displays a broad range of fantastic, supernatural abilities; explained as expressions of the full, unbound potential of the human body.
Inhuman Strength: Dio attains massive strength as a Vampire, allowing him feats such as forcibly walking on walls and single-handedly deflecting attacks such as Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash (volleys of substantially-sized emeralds flying at almost bullet speed). After absorbing Joseph's blood he is powerful enough to pick up and drop a steamroller on Jotaro. [8]
Inhuman Speed: Dio also possesses enhanced speed and agility. At one point he was described by Speedwagon as being as fast as a cheetah. [9]
Enhanced Senses: Demonstrated when placing his head on the ground to hear Jotaro's heartbeat, despite being a few meters away, Dio appears to have senses beyond human level. [10]
Regeneration: Dio can regenerate his body faster than fire can consume it. His incredible vitality is maintained by consuming human beings (or their blood), which he commonly does by piercing them with his fingers. Like all JoJo vampires, Dio sucks blood through tentacles in his fingers and has been seen at least once drinking blood from an unnamed girl. His body is able to live even after having vital body parts amputated and he can also control his detached body parts. The extent of Dio's own survivability is demonstrated when he could continue as just a head.
Space Ripper Stingy Eyes (
Fusion: By fusing different species, Dio can create half-man half-beast creatures. He can even fuse himself with another living being to take control of them.
Spores (肉の芽 Niku no Me): In Phantom Blood, Dio's powers are more bio-organic, but for the most part in Part 3 he only utilizes the "evil implants" - a parasite that brainwashes Polnareff and Kakyoin. A vampire's cells can spawn Evil Implants generated from hair and insert it in the brains of living beings to control them. If someone tries to take out the spore, it will grow tentacles in a attempt to kill both the host and the one trying to remove it. If the vampire wants, he can give permission to someone to activate the spore's tentacles anytime he wants if close to it. The spores possess another effect in case DIO himself ever dies. According Keicho Nijimura, his father who was implanted by the spore underwent a mutation into a greenish animalistic form by having DIO's cells inside his body. Presumably, this is a side effect that the rest of the surviving Stand Users that DIO had implanted his spores inside of would suffer from.
Hypnosis: This ability was used twice on Jack the Ripper (anime only) and Poco respectively. In the case of the former, Dio hypnotized Jack to convince him to join as a servant, allowing Dio to drain his blood and turn him into a zombie. Poco was manipulated to lure Jonathan into a trap, though his consciousness returned after being subjected to Jonathan's Ripple. [13]
Teleportation: Dio also shows the ability to disappear by fading into darkness. Whether or not this may be an actual vampire ability or a result of the use of his Stand (see below).
Healing: Dio also seems to possess the ability to heal other people's wounds as he was able to completely cure Pucci's wounded foot by simply touching it. However, the origins of this power remain unknown.
All of this, however, is at the expense of having a body sustained by sheer willpower alone, rather than vital energy. A sufficiently powerful force of vitality - specifically, sunlight or the Ripple - will negate the sustaining force's presence and disintegrate the long-unliving body.
- Main article: The World
About a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered that it is capable of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end of Part 3, he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds[14]. This duration would have continued to develop had DIO not been defeated. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.
The ability is best known for DIO's activation and cancellation phrases THE WORLD, Time, stop! (
Joestar Stand Abilities
Due to the familiar connection between Jonathan's body and Jonathan's descendants, it seems that The World shares abilities with the Stands of the Joestar family. This is hinted when DIO was shown able to create a vision on a photograph, similar to Joseph's Hermit Purple and this could explain why Star Platinum is also able to stop time as eventually discovered by Jotaro during the grand battle between him and DIO.
Still, due to this connection, DIO is also able to sense the presence of other Joestars. He was even able to tell when Joseph used Hermit Purple to take a psychic photograph of him, as well as instinctively know that his acquisition of a Stand also awoke Stand abilities in Jonathan's descendants. He also had control over Jonathan's Stand, which allowed him to create psychic images, be it on photographs or crystal balls. This increased his charisma with people, as it made them even more aware about how superior DIO was.

COUNTY WIDE POLLING PLACES (SUPERCENTERS or VOTECENTERS)
Click here to download the Power Point Presentation
Click here to see the Current Polling Places
(Must have Power Point Viewer installed)
County Wide Polling Places are polling places that are open on election day to all voters of Grimes County, regardless of which precinct you belong to. You can go to any polling place in the County on election day and cast your ballot. This allows voters to vote at the polling place most convenient for them and thus reduces the amount of driving time and prevents voters from going to the wrong precinct. The concept is just like Early Voting where you can vote at any location regardless of your precinct.
Grimes County would very much like to participate in this program but we need your help to get this project going in the right direction. We need feedback from the public and from the local communities so that we can more forward in the application process.
More information on County Wide Polling Places
To be selected to participate in the program, each county must meet the following minimum requirements: (1) exclusive use of direct recording electronic (DRE) voting systems at all polling places; (2) implementation of a computerized voter registration list that allows instantaneous verification that a voter has not already voted at another polling place; and (3) if the county has not participated in one of the previous countywide election precinct programs, it must hold a public hearing to inform and solicit opinions from voters, minority organizations, and other interested parties (e.g., political parties, political subdivisions within the county, and organizations representing voters with disabilities). A transcript or electronic recording of the hearing must be submitted to the Secretary of State. Although not required by statute, we encourage counties that have previously participated to conduct a new public hearing.
In addition, counties selected to participate in the program must adopt a methodology to determine the placement of the countywide polling places. For an election held in the first year in which the county holds an election under the program, the total number of countywide polling places may not be less than 65% of the number of precinct polling places that would otherwise have been used in the last equivalent election. For subsequent elections, this number drops to 50%.
Eligible counties may apply to use countywide polling places in the following elections: the primary election and run-off election, the general election for state and county officers, elections taking place on the uniform election date in May, a constitutional amendment election, and joint elections when holding any of the aforementioned elections with a local political subdivision (i.e., city, school district, etc.). Note that counties that have previously participated in the program, but have not been formally granted a "successful" designation in writing by the Secretary of State, must reapply to use the program for each election.
A selected county must also develop a plan for providing notice and informing voters of the program and of the changes made to the locations of election day polling places that will occur. At a minimum, an election day notice indicating the location of the nearest countywide polling place must be posted at each precinct polling place that was used in the last general election for state and county officers but will not be used in the election under this program. The county must solicit written input from organizations that represent minority voters and voters with disabilities. Input from local political entities is encouraged.

One of the essential facts that we need to assimilate fully when it comes to understanding the mechanics of physical combat is just how predominant the use of the right hand (usually rear) is. When humans are under pressure they will always revert to what they know best. However what and how we "know" something is a very big variable and a bit of a mystery that is buried at various levels of our subconscious. To cut to the chase if we do not embody techniques at a deep enough level then our deep level instinctual responses will over ride them every time when we are under pressure. The tendency to revert to right hand strikes is part of the instinctual fight/flight response which issues from the brain stem. The brain stem or "lizard brain" as it is sometimes called is very similar in all humans and therefor we see identical reactions occurring across a broad spectrum of types and personalities. The double knock out is a good example of this as combatants attack each other using this same weapon. We see it in street fights and "professionals" alike and even left handed people will often go to the right hand strike a true "south paw" is a fairly rare beast! Have a look at this clip all but two are double right hand knock outs:

It's better to avoid than run, better to run than de-escalate, better to de-escalate than fight, better to fight than die.
Sgt Rory Miller
There is a saying that all martial artist should be familiar with which is: It is better to be judged by 12 than carried by six. Whenever physical violence commences the likely hood of one of these two options is likely to ensue. Either we are put on trial for physically hurting someone or we are killed in the conflict. This quote from Sgt Miller is another perspective on this truth.

India's largest manufacturer and seller of scooter and motorcycle achieve another milestone. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. has confirmed that it has sold over 20 million two-wheelers in the country.
The two most successful products by the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer is their Activa scooter and the CB Shine motorcycle. Both products are segment leader in their respective categories. Introduction of updates regularly and superior build quality has cemented their dominance.
Keita Muramatsu, President and CEO, expressed, "We are deeply humbled by the faith and test reposed in the brand by our 20 million happy customers and we will strive to achieve even higher benchmarks in customer satisfaction. We thank our valued customers, business partners, associates, and all my colleagues at Honda for this remarkable feat."

Flamini admits frustrations
AC Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini has warned his club he does not want to play at full-back.
Last Updated: 11/07/09 8:51pm
AC Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini has warned his club that they will be making him unhappy if he is forced to play at full-back again next season.
The Frenchman was forced to perform out of position on several occasions during the last campaign due to a shortage in personnel at the San Siro.
Milan attempted to solve the problem this summer, but a move for Aly Cissokho failed at the medical, prompting suggestions Flamini could again operate at full-back.
The 25-year-old, who has been linked with a return to former club Arsenal, has therefore stated that he does not want to play in defence in 2009/10.
"I don't want to play as a full-back, I am a midfielder," he told Sky Sport 24. "This year Milan will be strong in defence."
Flamini also insists that he has not told his ex-Arsenal colleague Emmanuel Adebayor to follow his lead and move to Italy.
"Adebayor? We talk sometimes but I didn't tell him to come here, we are just friends," he said.

A worthy heir to the famous Jean Marie Farina Eau de Cologne, Eau des bienfaits is the fruit of Roger&Gallet's unique perfumer-apothecary expertise and combines a stimulating fragrance of essential oils and an active body care formula. The uniquely refreshing scent with top notes of blood orange creates an experience as invigorating as the water cascading from a waterfall.
As a perfumer-apothecary, Roger&Gallet is reinventing the ritual of an 'Eau parfumée' that cares for the skin. Using a selection of active ingredients known for their hydrating and softening properties, this fragrant body mist is ultra-light, non-oily with a non-sticky formula. Aloe Vera is used for its great hydrating and softening effect. Kiwi extract, a real 'thirst quencher for the skin', has been added to the formula to help improve the skin's suppleness. Ginseng extract provides a strong stimulating effect. Finally, fruit acids derived from lemon gently smooth the skin's surface..
Eau des Bienfaits is inspired by a journey to the heart of an Italian garden of citrus fruits, with the refreshing juice of the blood orange. The blood orange gives this fragrance a tantalizing freshness that instantly invigorates the skin. The head note, essential oil of blood orange, diffuses in harmony with three other essential oils: mandarin, bergamot and lemon. Notes of violet leaves and orange blossom then powder and sweeten the heart with the harmony of sophisticated and delicate floral notes. Cedar and patchouli add a depth to the lingering scent

Ghost Hunting with Claire Jones
December 8, 2016
Part 1: Who You Gonna Call?
When I was a child, I experienced things that were hard for me to explain. To this day I still can't say entirely what it is I saw. Part of me felt like it was my wild imagination turning stresses I had into apparitions. The other side of me felt like it could be something more.
I've never been an extremely superstitious person and at that age everything looked like something scary in the dark. My memory isn't exactly clear when I try to recall, but the feelings of fear and dread never fails to bubble inside my chest.
The worst was this man I saw when I was half asleep. I would be in these weird states where I wasn't fully awake, but I wasn't fully asleep either. My home looked weird and it seemed like everything was out of proportion. My mom said I'd mumble about everything being too big or too small.
One figure seemed to show up every time I was in this state. As a kid I'd call him the gas mask man. He was in a jumpsuit and had on this gas mask. The thing that creeped me out the most was the fact that he always stayed in the shadows, except for one time. There was one night when he kept appearing and disappearing and every time he showed up, he'd be closer to me.
The other person I'd see was a woman, but I was never afraid of her. I remember her wearing a long dress and a bonnet and her hands always held in front of her. She would walk up and down my hallway at night, like she was visiting people in different rooms.
When I was older and moved out of that home, I found out that a woman had passed away there. She had died of cancer in the back bedroom on the main floor and for some reason that room was always cold. Again, the logical part of my brain is saying I imagined it up as a comforting figure to help me sleep at night. That what I saw was manifestation of childhood stress and anxiety.
I wasn't the only person who felt odd in that house. My brother later confessed to me that he had seen figures in his room. He would also sleepwalk and mumble about odd things like not liking my mom's pancakes or asking where the chips were. My mom told me that she always thought these things were our imagination and kind of wrote it off as weird little quirks. Looking back, she realized my brother and I had odd behavior. We'd sleep in the same room, long after we had gotten to the stage of "hating" each other. No matter how much we fought during the day, we'd always end up sleeping on each other's floors.
When we finally moved out, everything stopped. I no longer had night terrors and my brother didn't sleepwalk anymore. Neither of us saw anything. It was a clean start, not only for my brother and I, but our entire family. It seems that as soon as we moved, our family dynamic
became stronger and closer.
All of these things left my family and I curious, but we had no idea how to go about figuring out what it all might mean. Then this past August, my mom and I, along with a few friends, went on a haunted trolley tour in Rochester, MN. We figured it would be this fun little thing to do and see all the supposedly haunted places around Rochester.
At one point of the tour, we actually got to investigate the Plumber house. In a moment of courage, my mom and I decided to join the group investigating in the basement. The Plumber house is a mansion and the basement expanded into two separate hallways that ran the expanse of the house. We ended up in a room toward the end of the left hallway when the meter started going crazy. The guide we were with, Nick, instantly took out a spirit box and tried to communicate. I can't explain how, but voices were coming through and having actual conversations with us. That moment alone made me want to take the tour again!
The tour guide was Nancy Horvath, but she preferred to go by Hawk. She's a former minister and currently works as a psychic medium and paranormal investigator. During the tour she mentioned paranormal investigating classes she taught at Rochester Community Education. After the fun we had on the tour, my mother and I decided to try out the classes.
So far we've attended Ghost Hunting 101, the first of three classes. It mostly went over equipment, like digital recorders and ghost boxes. We also went over different kinds of hauntings. There's things like residual hauntings that are just energies attached to objects. Then for the second part of the class she showed us footage and audios she'd taken while on investigations. My mom and I signed up for Ghost Hunting 201 as soon as we got home.
Even if you're not interested in paranormal investigation, the stories Hawk tells in class are absolutely unbelievable. No regrets here. Look in future Ahlahasa's for more as I progress through Hawk's classes.
If you're interested in haunted tours, I also suggest the ghost tours in Sleepy Eye, MN. You all hop on this overly decorated bus and travel to different locations while the guide gives background stories on the area.

Part 2: I Ain't Afraid of No Ghost
I've attended Ghost Hunting 201 now and it put Ghost Hunting 101 to shame. GH201 left little to the imagination and threw all the terrifying details right in my face.
Even in the description, GH201 stated that the darker and dangerous side of investigating would be introduced. The honest truth is, my attention wasn't lost for a second the whole time I was there. Nancy (Hawk) Horvath, a psychic medium and paranormal investigator, shared her personal experiences with us along with some audio clips and footage.
Hawk explained to us that she has been experiencing spirits, good and bad, since she was a little girl. She admitted that she also believed in angels and demons, telling us she had seen what she believes to be an angel when she was a child. She described it as a big ball of glowing light, almost ethereal. Hawk described the moment as not being long, but definitely touching.
Then she delved into the dark side of her job. Hawk has always been passive when it comes to investigating and never tries to provoke and anger spirits. So when she senses something dark in the area they're in, and she quickly removes her team from the situation. She talked about a graveyard they went to, refusing to reveal the location, and after ten minutes, the team had to leave. She also refused to talk about the uneasiness she felt. Hawk said that several times she's tried to go back there, but every single time they had to leave rather quickly.
The end of the night was spent watching video and reviewing audio taken during some investigations. The audio was the most chilling. Voices taken ranged from a small child saying "goodnight" to a deep gravelly voice saying "Nancy" menacingly. Some were sweet and playful, while others were hate-filled voices wanting them to leave.
Despite some of the more frightening things I witnessed secondhand during class, I'm excited to go on an overnight investigation. Catch an Ahlahasa in February to hear about GH301 when I investigate the Mantorville Opera house.

Great morning cc family!
i have an oil base cupcake recipe. All of my cupcakes are perfectly moist and fluffy. But everytime I make my pina colada recipe, they seem to have an oily taste to them.
Does the oil not mix well when using fruit in recipes?
I want to try a european butter with a higher fat content like Plugra and delete the oil. Will the fruit coupled with the fattier butter keep the moisture in the cupcake?
All of your experience is much appreciate!
Since it is possible to replace at least part of the oil in any given recipe with pureed fruit, why don't you try omitting part of the oil if you are using fruit?
It would seem like the oil will still be apparent in the cake. It's hard to explain but it's like the oil is bouncing off of my pinapple juice and not blending as normal when cooked.
i think I should omit the oil altogether but I'm afraid the cake will be dry. So i was thinking using a butter higher in fat might work.
I would try omitting the oil first. I don't think your cake could be dry if one of the ingredients is pineapple. My favorite pineapple cake recipe has no fat at all and while it is extremely dense, it certainly isn't dry at all. I've also replaced half the oil in my carrot cake recipe with extra pineapple with no ill effects at all.
Ok ok, so it is safe to say any recipe with pinapple doesnt need oil or not MUCH oil? Does that work with all fruits, ie strawberry, rasberry, etc?
Can you try substituting the oil with Applesauce?
I read that it works but I'm afraid it will alter the taste of the coconut and pinapple.
I use it all the time when i bake and it does not really give it a different taste, just makes it moist. I would give it a try and see what it does!
I will. Do you use unsweetend? Also, do you mix it with your butter and egg mixture prior to adding the dry ingredients?

"My Auntie was a patient on ward ..."
About: Whiston Hospital Whiston Hospital Prescot L35 5DR
Posted by Anonymous (as ),
What I liked
My Auntie was a patient on ward G12 care of the elderly. Staff are very caring and attentive. My Auntie saldly died shortly after leaving the ward but the care and compassion showed to her during her stay was very much appreciated by me and my family. All wards should be like this.
What could be improved
Ward is small and dated but with the new hospital opening soon this shouldn't be a problem in the future.
Anything else?
The food is warmed up in microwaves

I have a few users who use IE7 extensively with tabbed browsing. IE will crash on them at least once a day. The users who do not use tabbed browsing do not get errors. Is there a bugged with IE7 such as memory leakage? I noticed that Windows Update took IE off of their update. Is the solution just to back to using separate windows?

Fortunately I haven't experienced any issues and love tabbed browsing. Anybody else experience this?
Oct 18, 2007 at 2:21 UTC
Disclaimer: It is not my intention to start a flamewar.
Have they tried Firefox? There is no such thing as a perfect browser, but if it gets them what they need . . .
We don't have any IE7 in our shop. We specifically blocked it at the GPO level. So, I don't have much experience either. Are the machines fully patched from windows update?
Oct 22, 2007 at 12:35 UTC
Thanks for the replies. Yes going to firefox fixed the crashing of the browser issue.
One interesting thing I noticed was that a lot of these people would have a least 5 tabs open and their memory usage of IExplorer was 200mb or more, and then it would double if they left their browser open all night.
Does IE7 cached all the refreshes on the pages during the duration that it is open? The users that were using tabbed browsing excessively were running xp sp2 with ie7 and they only had 512mb of ram.
So it appears if you do decide to use tabbed browsing, use firefox or upgrade your ram. Actually, better yet do both.
Oct 22, 2007 at 12:41 UTC
Hi Todd,
Being a user of Firefox almost exclusively (there are those pesky programs that don't run in FF even with the IE plugin) I have not experienced this; however I do believe each tab gets cached. I have heard of a few different issues with IE 7 so I think your solution to use Firefox is ultimately the best way to go.....I'm a little biased :-)
Oct 22, 2007 at 2:44 UTC
If this is a global issue at your office the only times I've heard of this before is when certain extensions where causing issues. The problem only happened when users where logged in under 'user' permissions and it wouldn't happen when they were signed in as admin.
On the machines with this problem try opening it up from the run command with iexplore.exe -extoff . That will prevent any exentsions from loading (even things like custom toolbars, active X etc...) If it works fine then you need to try and figure out which extension is causing the problem.
Also make sure that all your software is up-to-date.

Foster Children, A Bit Off Topic, But I Feel It's a Good Cause
Expand Messages
- Happy Fall to you all. I'm not ready for winter!
I just rcd. a bulletin message from one of my My Space Friends in HI.
I am going to copy and paste here. It's regarding all of the foster
children in HI and other states.
There is a link to the home page of the Heart Gallery, so you can go
there if interested. If you know of anyone who might be interested in
fostering children, pass the link on to them as well.
This is a good cause I think.

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but if any of you have
friends in Hawaii, please sent the bulletin I sent out about the Heart
Gallery. You might want to add that there are over 200 children
waiting in foster care for an adoptive family in our state. For those
of you in other states, there are 60 Heart galleries in 45 states-
maybe you could refer your frinds to one of them?
Thanks for you help. I hope we can find a few more families because of
this effort.

Anyone who owns a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Chevrolet automobile owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Styleline Deluxe around town. When your Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe was born, it was destined for a driver who wants value in their automobile. It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Main Bearing Set for your car or truck.
Your engine can totally break down from lack of lubrication; resulting in intense friction and heat. The moments where your engine's main caps meet the crankshaft are where all the friction and heat come from, which is why you will find your Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe main bearings there. For decades, a metal alloy material called Babbitt has been used to make engine main bearings, because its gall-resistant surface makes it ideal to act as a buffer in the space between the crankshaft and main bore in your Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe. Most bearings are cast with lubrication channels, so friction and heat are minimized as the main bearings protect your internals for, hopefully, the life of your car or truck.
Ordering new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Styleline Deluxe parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. When it comes to Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Main Bearing Set parts, you can find them for 1952, 1951, 1950, 1949 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

12 Best Foods Cookbook by Dana Jacobi
The smoky flavor this free-form pizza offers sets it apart from the usual oven baked pies. Watch carefully so the topping does not dry out.
Smoked mozzarella and smoked tofu, sold at natural food stores, enhance this flavor. They are easier to shred if you first place them in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Makes 4 pizzas
• Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (See recipe), 2/3 recipe
• 3/4 cup prepared light tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded, smoked tofu
• 1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
• 2 generous cups 1" broccoli florets, steamed
• 1 roasted red pepper, cut in 1/4" strips
• 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Prepare a grill for medium heat.
Making one pizza at a time, grill the dough until lightly marked, about 2 minutes. Turn.
Spread 3 tablespoons sauce over the crisped dough, leaving a 1/2" border.
Sprinkle on one-quarter of the smoked tofu and mozzarella cheese.
Top with one-quarter of the broccoli and red pepper strips.
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese.
Grill, with top closed, until the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.
Serve immediately.

"Appalling communication and patient safety a..."
About: Nuffield Hospital Oxford (the Manor) Nuffield Hospital Oxford (the Manor) Oxford OX3 7RP
Posted by Anonymous
Anything else?
I was referred to the Manor Hospital to see an Endocrinologist for unexplained rifb fractures. As a patient I had a 5 hour round trip to the Manor. At my first appointment it was agreed I needed an Isotope Scan,to be done at the Churchill Hospital (as a private patient) A week went by and no one had rung to organise the scan from the hospital,so I contacted the Churchill. They said I would have to wait three weeks for an appointment. I made it clear that I could get it done down in Somerset that week and not have to wait. I got a call back that afternoon offering me an appointment the following week which I excepted. This should have been organised for me but it was left to me to sort out. I had the scan and rang the Churchill nuclear department two days later to ensure the scan reults would be avialable at my follow up appointment the following week at the Manor. They said . I turn up for that appointment only to find the consultant dose not have the scan results or a copy of the scan on disc for me to view. I had driven in total that day 5hrs and spent £200 for those results. The consultant rang the Churchill to get the results over the phone. It was also decided that I would have either an MRI or CT scan done and a bone biopsy. I was told I would be contacted to tell me which scan was being done and who was doing the biopsy. No one contacted me as to which scan was being done I had to find out and arrange myself.I was also given the wrong information as to which surgeon was going to do my biopsy by my consultants secretary. I can confirm the following failings took place: The consultants secretary failed to return phone calls and three e-mails which resulted in information from another hospital not being forwarded. I had to arrange myself the Isotope bone scan ,the CT scan and the biopsy. No one helped sort this out from the Manor. I also needed a code for my proceedure to be authorised by my insurance company, no one from the Manor were able to help other than surgest I pay for part of the proceedure myself. I had to aarange for my consultant to write to the insurance company for authorisation of the proceedure. I was refused an appointment for a pre-op assessment. I was told a nurse would ring me and ask questions over the phone instead. I made it very clear this was not good enough. When I turned up for my CT scanI I was told I could go to Radiology to have the pre-op assessment done. It was conducted in the waiting area of radiology and not done in private. Therefore everyone sitting in the waiting area could hear my medical details. Thats appalling lack of consideration for my privacy. When I had my biopsy done the nursing team failed to give me Gaviscon as requested by the Anaesthetist prio to surgery. I requested from my consultant a copy of all correspondance I did not get any copies so I had to obtain these from my G.P. The consultant sent me copies two months later. The experience has been appalling and I would not recommend

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding our child sponsorship program. Still can't find what you're looking for, contact us for more information.
What is child sponsorship?
Our Sponsor a Child Program allows Ca- nadians to share their resources with locally-led Christian agencies who are helping address the spiritual and physical needs of children. This simple assistance, flowing from the heart of Jesus, provides children the chance to succeed and to break the cycle of poverty.
Your sponsorship helps provide tuition, uni- forms, textbooks, school supplies and Chris- tian outreach to the students, their families and neighborhoods. Some programs provide meals, fortified milk, medical help and assis- tance with teachers' salaries.
How do I make payments?
You can have your sponsorship gifts with- drawn monthly from your bank account by returning a VOID cheque or providing your VISA or MasterCard information. You may also send us a cheque for the entire year.
How can I communicate with my sponsored child?
You receive two letters and a Christmas greeting each year from your sponsored child.
We encourage you to write to your spon- sored child. Use the simple form enclosed to get started. Please remember that every letter you write must then be translated and can take up to two months to reach your child. There-
fore we cannot promise a flow of letters in a "pen-pal" manner.
Please keep your letters short and simple— tell about yourself, your family, favorite Scrip- ture verse, a pet, special interests, leaving out information about material possessions. Send all letters to Partners International and we will forward them to the field for translation and delivery to the child. Please do not include your address on items going to the child. Be sure that your child's code number is written on all items of correspondence.
We cannot send packages to the children; however, we will gladly forward to the children small, flat, inexpensive items such as photos, bookmarks, postcards, and stickers.
What kind of schools do the chil- dren attend?
The majority of children in the program attend local government schools. In addition to their regular studies, the children receive spiritual guidance from Sponsor A Child work- ers at Bible club programs and Sunday school classes. These children may also attend church services, camps and other special activities.
May I send gifts to the child I sponsor?
A few small, flat items may be sent as described above. To send a special financial gift, please clearly identify this amount to us
a special gift, so it is not confused with your regular sponsorship amounts. Your donation is combined with those of other sponsors to buy gifts for all the children in your child's program. This helps avoid conflicts or com- petition among the children, some of whom don't have a sponsor. All Christmas love offer- ings are placed into this fund, so that all the children share equally in the blessings.
May I visit my sponsored child?
Where conditions allow, Partners Interna- tional will gladly work with our local partners to facilitate visits with sponsored children
and their families. All visits to see sponsored children must be coordinated through Partners International in Canada. Short visits are most appropriate, so we ask sponsors not to plan their travel around a long stay. We can not make travel arrangements or hotel bookings. Please let us know well in advance of your plans to visit so proper arrangements can be made. Please remember that your child may not speak English. Also, some of the children live in remote locations or areas where foreign visitors are not allowed.

Comment - Why Man Utd can justify £100m Paul Pogba deal
Paul Pogba's £100m move to Manchester United is expected to be rubber stamped this weekend and one question remains - how can the Old Trafford club justify spending so much money on one player?
It is a debate that offers up no obvious to answer and that may be because this lavish deal can only be explained when a variety of factors are brought under the microscope.
United manager Jose Mourinho may well believe Pogba is the midfielder dynamo he needs to fire his team back to the top of the world game, yet his request to hand over a world record fee for the French youngster would fall on deaf ears if sport was the only factor in play here.
Mourinho will be fully aware that Pogba is not worth anywhere near the fee they offered bring him back to Manchester four years after he left for nothing, in what has proved to be the most expensive mistake in football history.
Yet this deal has more to do with marketing potential, commercial spin-offs and potential income as it does about football decision making.
This is why it is becoming increasingly difficult for simple soccer lovers to comprehend this era of garish Premier League opulence and yet we need to open our eye to the full picture as the justification for the price tag is presented.
So instead of looking at top English football clubs as sporting franchises, we need to appreciate that they have become global businesses with agendas reaching way beyond the four corners of a soccer pitch.
"When Liverpool signed Mario Balotelli two summers ago, I was told by people close to the club that his social media activity and his big follower numbers were part of the attraction to complete the deal," wrote former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman in his Yahoo column last month.
"It seems remarkable to even begin to suggest that top football clubs like United or Liverpool sign players based on how many followers they have on Twitter, but it is not as crazy as it sounds.
"You look at surveys and analysis from public relations companies and they all suggest Pogba is one of the most marketable sportsmen in the world right now.
"Make no mistake, these outside factors now comes in to play when United go after a player like Pogba."
McMamanan's comments shine a slightly different light on United's strategy for rehiring a relatively unproven 23-year-old midfielder, with his status as one of the brightest stars in the game fuelling their belief that this deal represents value for money.
United now have an incredible total of SIXTY EIGHT major sponsors around the world paying money into their pot on an annual basis, with their record breaking £750m ten-year deal with kit manufacturer Adidas just part of a business that can comfortably afford to pay £100m for one player.
To satisfy the demands of their backers, United need players to sell their brand and in Pogba, they believe they have one of those marquee names.
His arrival would lift United's status as a major player in the game after a few years of decline following Alex Ferguson's retirement, with their image boost a fraction of what they think this single player could bring to their mix.
Pogba's 13m followers on his three social media accounts will be seen by as a fresh audience they can tap into, with Pogba's image rights deal likely to give them access to his huge online supporter base.
United skipper Wayne Rooney and midfielder Juan Mata are among those who have used their social media accounts to promote movies in the last year and that is not because they are devoted fans of the X Men or Deadpool big screen epics.
No, they have taken part in promotions to boost United's commercial deal with 20th Century Fox movies and we can expect to see similar cross promotions moving forward.
New signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic was used as the poster boy for United's new kit launch earlier this month and we can expect the same kind of exposure for Pogba if he arrives.
United are trailblazers in rebranding a sport that used to be the domain of the working class on and off the pitch, yet it has long since crossed over into the world of big business.
We are all struggling to comprehend what is happening to the beautiful game right now, but sports lovers are not meant to appreciate how big business works in 2016.

Last month I went on a brilliant hike through the Lake District. I had planned this for a quite a while, and to be honest I was getting cold feet when I looked at the dreary forecast for the weekend. Happily though, under glorious sunshine, I boarded the train from Edinburgh after work on Friday.
I was slightly tempted to begin my hike on the Friday evening and find a wild camping spot, but I decided to stay safe and camp at the Youth Hostel for £7 a night – reasonable price. I got there, and they were booked out of camping spots – yet there was a huge field for camping! "Sorry mate, we can only have 7 tents pitched at a time". Ridiculous! And then they had no beds available, so I had to walk another half hour to the Thornyhow Hostel. Argh!
I was really pissed off with myself, and should have booked somewhere in advance. While it was a nice hostel, it was a crazy £26 for a dorm bed for a less than 12 hour stay. I was in a grumpy huff, so I consoled myself with a pint of ale (£3.50) from the hostel bar and decided to upgrade to the Full English breakfast (£3) in the morning. (I know – budget out the window!)
I tucked into bed that night dreaming of the whopper breakfast I would be having in the morning. Bahhhh, it was very underwhelming – and despite their friendliness, I have my doubts that it was a fully locally sourced breakfast! I was still ravished, so I went down to the lovely village of Grasmere and grabbed a coffee and croissant from one of the cafes. Clearly the ideal healthy preparation for a day of hiking.
And so I was off. I headed north-east from Grasmere towards the A591. Shortly after the charming looking Travellers Rest pub (note to self – must call in for lunch someday), a public pathway begins. It steeply ventures through green fields dotted with woolly sheep and plump cows munching away on the lush grass.
The views behind my back on the way up were incredible, and I couldn't believe my luck with the weather. Where was all this rain and wind the Met Office kept on mentioning all week?! I struggled up, the weight of a massive breakfast swirling away in my stomach. This was the first time I was hiking and camping solo, so it took time to adjust to carrying a backpack full of supplies, water and a tent. To speed myself up I just imagined Steve Buscemi creepily chasing me up the hill, *shudder*
I made it up to the stunning and still Grisdale Tarn – a small lake tucked in between steep mountains. I really, really wanted to jump in a go for a swim – it was so inviting! But I can imagine it would have been freeeezing too! I stopped off for a water break and enjoyed the view east towards the valleys of Cumbria.
I began my final slog up to the summit of Helvellyn, one of the highest peaks in the Lake District. This involved a steep switchback path up from Grisdale Tarn. There were a good few other hikers out for the day enjoying the sunshine so it was pretty good to be able to have a quick chat on the way up – and a deserved breather!
Upon passing Fairfield, I spied the infamous Striding Edge (above). It's the main trail up towards Helvellyn from the eastern side and is notoriously difficult and dangerous in windy weather. It's a narrow ridge and there are fatal drops on either side, so hikers really need to be careful. I decided against going this direction due to the weight imbalances with my backpack – anddddd didn't really fancy being blown over the edge when hiking solo.
The 360° degree views from the top of Helvellyn are utterly amazing – on a clear day you can see for miles across the Cumbrian countryside out towards the massive wind farms of the Irish Sea. I took shelter at the stone wall on top of Helvellyn and dug into my packed lunch. Once again I was starving – I really got figure out what is going on with my constant craving for food. I do wonder sometimes how I'm not as large as Homer Simpson.
After lunch, and a few photo ops, I took off once more in the direct of Stybarrow Dodd, another one of he mountains further north. In my wisdom I didn't really pay attention to my map, and just followed the couple in front of me. I was too distracted to realise that I went down the wrong trail, and had to backtrack all the way back up….bah!
I eventually began to lookout for a decent bit of ground to camp on for the night. Many parts were boggy and bumpy, but I managed to find a half decent spot. Without further ado, and away from spying walkers and sheep – I set about setting up my tent. And hey, not a bad view eh?! 🙂
Spicy chicken and rice was on the menu for the evening – yeah I know, a very posh wild camping meal. It went down a treat, but disaster struck when I realised…..I'd forgotten the tea bags!! Noooooo!!! How will I survive?!
I'll honest, wild camping on your own isn't very exciting, and quite lonely. Especially when there is noooobody around you for miles. At around 9pm the wind and rain began, a vicious wind working its way up the mountain. Thank god I have a strong tent! All I could do was hunker down and read my book – the superb "The Given Day" by Dennis Lehane. I didn't really sleep much as the wind howled outside and I did think there was a monster outside the tent, but lets not go there.
In the morning I woke to foggy moors, with rain still pouring down and creepy sheep staring at me. A quick Mars bar (healthy) and I was off again – not seeing 2 metres in front of. I thought Uncle Fester from the Addams family would appear out of the bog but no, it was just Steve Bueshemi again.
As the morning went on, the rain turned to drizzle and the clouds began to break up – and the day brightened up. The panoramic views were changing constantly as the vanishing clouds opened up new vistas through the green valleys.
I clambered on down towards the bottom and made it to Ambleside in time for a warm, filling toastie and endless cups of tea (much needed tea!!). I was quite happy with myself, I thought I would be shattered but I felt I could carry on for another couple of days. I strolled around wee Ambleside, which is such a pretty village, and managing to avoid the crowds I went back to a Cafe Treff, which was fantastic the last time in the Lake District. They bake one of the finest Victoria sponge cakes in all the land. It's so good, and it was washed down with even more tea!
Afterwards I scooted off from Ambleside and down to Windemere for my return to Edinburgh. Within 2 minutes of boarding of the train I was fast asleep. A great weekend, ang highly recommended to anyone!
Get There
Windermere is connected Oxenholme train station on the main West Coast line. There are onward trains to the London, Manchester, Scotland and other cities throughout the UK. See National Rail for schedules.
Get Around
Stagecoach offers very regular services throughout the Lake District during the summer months. The core 555 route runs every 20 minutes in summer. See their map guide here. Bicycles can be hired from a number of places in Windemere and Ambleside. There are also affordable lake cruises from Bowness and Ambleside.
The Thorney How Hostel, like many hostels in the Lake District is expensive but it is a great retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Prices start at £22 for a dormitory bed – but can be more in summertime. Prices for a double room in an Ambleside B&B begin at roughly £70 in summertime.
Cafe Treff offers up the best coffee and cake in all of Ambleside – it's an ideal place to relax when the rain starts to pour down. Lunch is also offered by the friendly staff.

Broadcom Unveils First NFC Chips, Smallest On the Market?
Broadcom, one of the biggest Wi-Fi chipmakers in the world, on Monday unveiled its first line of near-field communications (NFC) chips for smartphones.
The announcement comes on the heels of Google Wallet, a groundbreaking, if small-scale, step intended to popularize the use of phones to pay for items. NFC radios can transmit information between devices when held just a few inches apart; the technology has been used for mobile payments in Japan since 2004, but the rest of the world has been remarkably slower at aligning all the necessary players.
But more are betting on the mobile payments industry, which is expected to double to $670 billion by 2015 from $240 billion this year, according to Juniper Research.
Broadcom claims its first NFC chipset, BCM2079x, is 90 percent more energy-efficient and 40 percent smaller than any other NFC solution on the market, and was developed using 40 nm chip processing technology.
Interestingly, Broadcom has also said its chips can communicate with devices using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios, which are competing wireless communications technologies.
"Broadcom is committed to making NFC as ubiquitous as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are today," Craig Ochikubo, vice president and general manager of wireless personal area networks at Broadcom, said in a statement. "These solutions provide the features and performance that enable disruptive innovation that will reshape the mobile consumer experience. Our leadership and proficiency in wireless connectivity influenced the architecture of these new chips to meet the performance required by OEMs, allowing them to more easily add NFC to their designs."
Although several phones available in the U.S. today come with NFC chips, like the Samsung Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy S II, and BlackBerry Bold 9930/9900, applications are few and far between.
Last November, three of the nation's largest cell phone operators, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, made perhaps the biggest financial investments in mobile payments through Isis, a platform that will finally debut next year after experiencing a few blips this year.
For more, check out PCMag's hands-on with Google Wallet in the wild in San Francisco, and the slideshow of other mobile-payment technologies below.

The summer of 2015 promises to be action-packed as England meet Australia in the Investec Ashes Test Series. Throughout the year, Keith Prowse offers a variety of hospitality experiences at Ashes venue The Kia Oval. Packages cover a range of price points in both the historic Pavilion Stand and the modern OCS Stand, where guests can take in the views from the Corinthian Roof Terrace. Glass-fronted first- and second-floor lounges offer private tables of 10 or 12 guests, with smaller numbers seated on a shared basis. The Montpelier Club in the Pavilion End is the pinnacle of hospitality at Surrey County Cricket Club. Next to the players' dressing rooms, it enjoys some of the best views. As well as the hospitality suites, there are also a number of boxes, such as the 20-capacity Bedser Stand and 24-capacity OCS Stand boxes, which are available for private hire on matchdays.
