|RE: Status of migration of OOo domains?
|Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:46:09 GMT
Shane, just to clarify a bit. As far as I know, the PPMC does not have the keys, as it were, to the live OpenOffice.org site. Apparently someone does, and some touch ups are made, but it is all sort of behind the scenes and, um, not very transparent, especially since there is no archive or repository that the PPMC has visibility into. However, there does need to be some lofting around what is a roadmap here, and how does the existing live site be staged (and users informed) for transition of the properties under OpenOffice.org. I'm thinking on it. I am trusting that others with their hands on the knobs and dials will also speak up on what they can do by way of preparation for staging, and then staging. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Shane Curcuru [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 13:55 To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Status of migration of OOo domains? Heh, indeed, while I so completely disagree with Rob's style here that I don't even know where to start, he does have a point in that things get done in projects by people who actually do them. Wearing my mentor hat, my primary job is to encourage the community around this project to grow in a healthy manner and do the things themselves. So from my mentor hat perspective, I'm really not a very good example in what I do. As a mentor, there are things where you should "do as I say, not as I do", because part of the point of being a mentor is to help *you* (as in the community) actually start doing things. ---- On the other hand, wearing my VP, Brand hat, I strongly urge the PPMC to take action on my email, especially the points about ensuring some sort of branding updates are done on existing openoffice.org websites. In particular, I'm concerned about the non-code areas - fundraising, leadership, marketing, and the like. I'd really like to see the PPMC taking ownership and working out how they want to manage the transition in ownership from all those web properties, but starting to at least make some updates in place reflecting the future plans for the sites. If not, then yes, I will eventually get to it, and I will do the work myself, unilaterally, as VP, Brand (i.e. not as a mentor on this project). It's inappropriate for the project to spend so long with so much "orphan" content on oo.o sites, wherein it's kinda Oracle's (and is perceived as dead by more people each day), and it's kinda ours (since we have a transfer of the domains and marks). We need action on showing the rest of the world where we're planning to go with this great big brand and chunk of content we've inherited. - Shane

William Shakespeare
By: Rachael Willis
Was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language.
William Shakespeare created a new style of play writing, which combined both tragedy and comedy during the Renaissance.
- Shakespeare utilized his knowledge of Greek and Roman classics when writing his plays. Before the renaissance, these kind of texts were suspended by the Catholic Church.
William Shakespeare has an everlasting effect on how we developed the language we speak now. He dedicated his life to better our understanding on how our languages works today.
Not only that but William Shakespeare, influences many of today's authors. Helping them to write there romantic novels.

Christmas is a time when people feel like sharing what they have and spreading happiness. It is the time when most open their hearts to the less fortunate. But not everyone has such pure intentions. Some simply try to make the most o fit without any thought to the consequences. One such fraudster, known as dignan2 on Reddit posted this missive on the site:
"I'm a single father of 3 and live in Seabrook. Contact me at sngldad13 at gmail. I will do whatever I can to help. Do you have transportation?
I can take you guys for meals, and I'm sure my extended family would be more than happy to have you guys over for meals if we can find a way to get you around.
I also work at Space Center Houston, and would love to have you guys come visit the center. I can get you in for free and probably get your daughter a freebie from the gift shop. I'm also willing to let you guys come in after hours and watch anything on Netflix on our IMAX screen.
Please pm me and I'll give you my cell phone number. Please let me help all I can."
Many of the Redditor who read his post reached out to help. Many even ordering gifts for the little girl from the wish list, until someone busted his bubble of fraud. Another Redditor by the name razzledazzled posted, "I feel bad for all the folks here at reddit that don't know about dignan's past. This guy is basically a total loser who has selfishly decided that he will take away any chance of a normal future from his daughter so that he can use her as a "charity" point as he continually refuses any kind of opportunity at a real job. He is a deadbeat that considers ebay arbitrage and occasional price gouging of electronics a steady living suitable for raising a young daughter. He is a known and outed scammer at our community www.shacknews.com and has many choice posts for those wanting to know more about his history."
Here are some of the posts put on display by razzledazzled:
Needless to say that got the poor-single-dad a lot of thrashing online. People definitely didn't like being conned especially when it came to playing with their sympathy.
There were comments like:
Wooooow. My daughter will get 3 gifts this year. I can't imagine her getting half of what is on that list. What a greedy, awful person. I mean, we can afford the basics and whatnot...but extras aren't really in the budget too much. So we're doing the 3 things...one thing to play with, one thing to read and one thing to wear. I'm sure she'll probably survive with only getting 3 gifts. This list...is just...greedy and awful. Makes me sad.
Yeah I got all teary-eyed when I read his story. I decided I want to help out a little also, go to the WishList... I see $50 gift cards, a Wii U, tablet PC's, and other electronics. I decided then that it was a scam.
Just a few days ago, Redditors came together to help a man in genuine need, the act was commendable and very inspiring as well. But people like dignan2 really get the people rubbed the wrong way and tests people's willingness to trust and lend a helping hand.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Did you have a thorough neurological exam after the incident?
If I understand correctly the incident was 7 years ago, so whatever would and should have healed would have done so by now. Short term memory issues are associated with anxiety and depression. Further as we age there is a natural deterioration in our short term memory. I would definitely obtain a neurological work up.
If you find it embarassing and need to come up with some one's name, everyone will understand a brief statement to the effect "I'm sorry but I am so bad with names". I have done it myself and just about everyone can relate to it and not become offended so I would not worry about it.

Vegan Italiano by Donna Klein
An Italian cookbook wouldn't seem complete without including a recipe for roasted bell peppers, arguably the most popular antipasto of all. For a hotter variation, you can add some seeded and chopped pepperoncini to the seasonings.
Makes 6 Servings
• 4 large bell peppers (about 8 ounces each), preferably 2 red and 2 green, cored, seeded, and ribbed, each cut into sixths or eighths
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• Salt, preferably the coarse variety, and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to broil. Position the oven rack 4 inches from heat source. Lightly oil a large baking sheet.
Place bell peppers, skin sides up, on the baking sheet; flatten peppers with your hand.
Broil until skins are partially charred and puffy, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a paper bag and twist to seal. Alternatively, place in a self-sealing plastic bag and seal.
Let rest 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove bell peppers from bag; peel away and discard the skins. Slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch wide strips.
Transfer pepper strips to a large bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to blend.
Toss again and serve at room temperature.
Alternatively, cover and refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours, or up to 2 days, and serve chilled or return to room temperature.

Product details
This standard centre bracket is ideal provides additional support for longer lengths of 25mm white tube/rail.
- Material: Zinc
- Quantity in pack: 1
- Diameter: 25mm
Standard Centre Bracket - White - 25mm is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from As expected Did just the job, helped suport the cloths rail in my wifes wardrobe
Date published: 2010-12-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from good The product is of good quality. My only difficulty was that Hombase do not supply ferrule type plaster wall plugs, and only the screw clasp type are offered. The latter would not fit within the holes of the bracket. This left me with no alternative but to use normal wall plugs, which when fixed through plasterboard does not provide a good load bearing connection.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Does the job well I have bought these on a few occasions, to use as towel-rail holders, to hold tubes to hang washing from, and recently to hold a rail for a make-shift wardrobe. They are not strong enough for a lot of weight - my dad tried making hand rails on a narrow-boat to pull yourself up stairs with and they broke fairly quickly under constant pressure and weight of a human! Good for their purpose though - can't complain - not the most interesting thing to review to be honest!

Two entries in printed Address Book
My first computer was one of the first Amstrad 8256 computers here in the UK in 1985. When Locofile & Locomerge were introduced with its basic like language one of my first projects was to put our extensive address book onto the database and develop an easily printed out loose leaf address book. For ease of finding commercial items in the printed version some items were printed twice under (say)

Re: Two entries in printed Address Book
[img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]A long winded method would be to make a new table using a make table query and include a calculated field called RealIndex which would contain Lastname Firstname.
Then run an append query selecting only those items with a flag. In the second query the RealIndex field would be set to Occupation.
Then use the resulting table for the report.
You might make a macro to pull all this together, in which case although clumsy it would run at a single click.
You can probably do the whole thing in one massive SQL query but they are much more difficult to maintain.David Grugeon

Re: Two entries in printed Address Book
You need a category table that holds all the categories you want to use, like electrician. That table would have two fields, a numeric autonumber key and the name of the category, i.e., electrician.
Then you would have another table called something like AddressCategory. That table would hold the primary key from the address table and the primary key from the category table. Those two fields would jointly create a unique key, so that you could only have one record in a particular category for each address. Then if an address were for both an electrician and a heating contractor, you would have an entry for the same address ID for each category ID. This is called a join table because it gives you a way of joining many address to many categories. In other words a single address may have multiple categories and any single category may be attached to multiple addresses.
You would create your multiple listings by building a query like this:
SELECT tblAddress.*, tblCategory.Category
FROM tblCategory
LEFT JOIN tblAddressCategory
ON tblAddress.AddressID = tblAddressCategory.AddressID)
ON Category.CategoryID = tblAddressCategory.CategoryID;
That would give you all your addresses, and any that had multiple categories would turn up multiple times. Build a report based on the query and set it to group by Category.Charlotte

Logistics field bucks the recession
It's unusual to find an industry crying out for workers in today's tight economic climate.
And it's even more remarkable to find a course where students are regularly head-hunted by employers before they finish their qualification.
But it's happening all the time at Manukau Institute of Technology - and in the little known world of logistics.
"It's one of those really, really frustrating and bizarre situations in a recession," Helen Murray, senior lecturer at MIT's school of shipping, freight and logistics, says.
"We've got jobs waiting. We get employers ringing us on a weekly basis looking for people. It's reaching crisis level."
The school offers a one-year diploma in shipping and freight, which prepares graduates for mid-level logistics roles.
Former student Amit Rathod was offered three jobs on the day he completed his final exam.
He's now based in Auckland's CBD and is employed by CMA CGM, one of the world's largest container shipping groups.
Amit was employed at a supermarket for seven years before he went to MIT. Now he says a world of opportunities has opened up for him and working for a large, international company means the scope for career progression is huge.
"There are so many possibilities. I love my job. Everyday is different and I'm always busy," Amit says.
Barry Cardno is also someone who knows about life's possibilities. He has been confined to a wheelchair since a crash in a top-dressing plane 17 years ago but hasn't let that stop him pursuing his goals.
After some time doing seasonal work in Wanaka, he wanted a change in pace.
A friend suggested logistics so he relocated to Auckland to study at MIT and one year later was offered his dream job.
"I work at Aeromarsters. We offer aviation spares support, ground equipment support and maintenance management. I still love flying. I have a Cessna at Ardmore airfield and fly every weekend. My job lets me be surrounded by what I love everyday.
"There are many opportunities in life, you have just got to look for them."
So, with so many opportunities available in shipping, freight and logistics, why are more people not studying for a career in the industry?
Ms Murray says it's a career that can be hard to define and it doesn't immediately spring to mind for many people.
"But the demand is there. We've had people three or four months into the course offered jobs," Ms Murray says.
Part of the problem is that logistics is a varied career path and therefore hard to market. It is basically managing the flow of resources, from a point of origin to a destination. It can involve integrating information, transport, inventory, warehousing, material handling, packaging, and security. It involves road, rail, air and shipping.
Logistics lecturer Malcolm Brown says the job is a fascinating one once students complete the qualification.
"You're dealing with people all over the world. You might start the morning talking to New York or Chicago, then by lunchtime China and Singapore as the time zones change.
"You are dealing with customers, truck drivers, customs officials, MAF, you might be down at the wharf.
"There's never a dull moment."

It might be just me but I like the way the old fox splitter worked. This new one is too awkward in the way it tiles the tabs. And why the heck would I need so many menu bars and add-on bars for the individual tabs anyway? Just the navigation bar is enough.
I know it might be a lot to ask, but would you consider changing the format to the old fox splitter?
Extra toolbars are hidden on 2.0.2011090101
On 2.0.2011090101, extra toolbars are correctly hidden for split windows. They were not hidden unexpectedly due to my fault.
Anyway, I have no plan to re-introduce the behavior of the old Fox Splitter. See:

Can You Combine Dark Chocolate Fondant With Regular Fondant?
Decorating By samsambo Updated 22 Sep 2011 , 1:51am by samsambo
I purchased some Satin Ice Dark Chocolate fondant and I'm not happy with the taste or color (almost black) of it. Has anyone every combined chocolate fondant with regular fondant? I am hoping that would make it more palatable and lighter in color.
Oh heck yeah. That's how I make all shades of brown. Now, but "regular" fondant, I'm assuming you mean something like Satin Ice, not homemade marshmallow fondant, which I have no experience with.
Yes I was talking about Satin Ice---I am a home cake decorator and pretty new to using fondant and wasn't sure it would taste right.Thanks for the help.

Tom is an author, author's mentor, creative catalyst and writer's unblocker.
He has been called, by others, a healer, a modern day mystic, a seer and the wizard of light bulb moments.
Using a set of elegant techniques, he teaches both how to tap into an unlimited flow of inspiration and how to make ideas actually come to fruition.
He has spent 30 years in the cutting edge of product development in the broadcast and Internet industries. He has a knack for explaining complex concepts in simple terms. More recently has been researching the psychology and physiology behind inspiration and is lifting the lid on the mystery of where ideas, and thought, come from.
His passion is in making the esoteric (unknown & hidden) into the exoteric (known & understood).
He has written three books on the creative process.
Blocks explores what stops us being creative and how to get over our fears and procrastination to tap into our creative flow.
The Art and Science of Light Bulb Moments is all about those special types of thought that appear in less than a second, yet change our world forever- and how to stop good ideas from getting away.

Question: Positive ANA test... Negative retest. Very confused.
|DinoMartinez3 - Fri Jan 23, 2009 2:03 pm
Hello. I am a 20 yr old female and have a quick question. At school about two months ago, i got a bug bite (probably mosquito) on my foot, and it started itching terribly. I began to scratch it and saw a little bite mark and figured it was just a normal mosquito bite. Soon, it began to swell up and there was quite some inflammation. The next day, the swelling had reached my ankle and i went to my doctor. He performed an ANA test and it came out positive. He said that this might have been due to the infection/ inflammation from the bite, so he retested after the swelling went down, and it came out negative. What does this mean? Is it posible for ANA to come out positive from the type of infection that was on my foot? ANy help would be EXTREMELY appreciated. :)
|John Kenyon, CNA - Fri Jan 30, 2009 1:02 am
Hi there -
While many -- perhaps most -- medical tests can have a false negative but rarely a false positive, there are some that have the opposite problem, and ANA testing is one of those, mainly because it's not designed to uncover a specific disease or condition. The fact that you had an acute inflammatory process going on in your body (specifically your foot) when the test was done very likely threw the result off. Now that that's resolved you're coming up negative. It seems entirely likely the test was positive because of the rather severe reaction you'd had.
Hope this answers your question. Good luck to you. Follow up here as needed.
|DinoMartinez3 - Sat Jan 31, 2009 1:09 pm
Thank you so much for the response, John.
I've been extremely worried for the past few months as to what that result meant. I've been driving myself CRAZY and just want to forget about it! again, thanks for the response :) i really do hope that it was just because of the acute inflammatory response to the bite.

Want to learn more about what happens at an online 3D printing service? Take a peek behind the scenes at Shapeways factories in NYC and Eindhoven.
Have you ever wondered where the magic of Shapeways happens? The company have released two video tours of their NYC and Eindhoven factories, so we can see in more detail what happens behind the scenes.
Shapeways is the world's largest online 3D printing service, community and marketplace, and was founded in the Netherlands before moving their world HQ to New York City. With these videos, we're given more of an idea of what they do and how they work.
Both videos are presented in a "hyperlapse style" to create a fast-paced tour within the space of a minute and a half. In both NYC and Eindhoven, the factory layouts are open-plan and modern, but we're hope you're not sensitive to jerky camera movements…!
Shapeways Eindhoven Tour
In Eindhoven, the tour begins by entering the factory and zooming around the communal lounge areas with a look at the patterns, designs and even the cheeky football table. The large creative room, where work takes place, is filled with computers and an open space.
From here, we're lead straight into the SLS printing room in Eindhoven, where state of the art 3D printers are kept. The huge machines take up their own room in the factory. From there we're given a look at the polishing and post-processing rooms, and it all looks very snazzy.
We have a lingering question, though. What goes on in the "FUD Room", exactly? It sounds like a high-tech torture chamber.
Shapeways NYC Tour
On the factory floor in NYC, we're shown a room specifically for quality assurance… which is reassuring to know.
Parts are packaged up here, and then we're shown the sorting room and the polisher before heading into the most exciting room in the NYC factory — where all the 3D printers are kept.
For strong and flexible plastic, the next stage is the cooling room. Sintered at 160 degrees celcius, they're "too hot to touch!"
The tour shows the whole process from computer design to polishing in just over one minute, and judging by the number of warm bodies milling about in ceaseless activity, business is booming for the young company.
Both videos are signed off in the description with an invitation: "We'd love to hear your input in the comments below, and don't forget to tune into our Livestream channel at livestream.com/Shapeways every Tuesday at 12PM EST to learn more!"

The Spelling Bee Buzz
I've been thinking about spelling bees a lot lately, mainly because the Bozeman Schools Foundation, where I now work part time, will be hosting its annual Adult Team Spelling Bee next month. The Bee is always a great time with 3-person teams in costumes doing their best to out-spell their opponents.
Memories from my own childhood bring to mind the entire class lining the classroom walls, waiting in turn for a chance to spell a word correctly. This activity was never called a spelling bee but was basically an exercise in which the teacher got all kids in the class involved in a group learning experience.
According to Wikipedia, the phrase "spelling bee" dates back to 1875, although there's evidence that suggests the contests were held even before that. Throughout their long history, students in grades 1-8 have been the primary participants in spelling bees- although it's not unheard of for older students, adults and senior citizens to have bees of their own.
The Spelling Bee at Hawthorne School is held each spring. As a series of words is clearly pronounced and diligently spelled back, a careful winnowing of eager participants makes the numbers dwindle.
At some point in the bee, the competition comes down to a couple of students. The poise and aplomb with which these students face the next word is inspiring. They meet the word head-on and in the final round come out in the positions of first place and runner-up.
If you take a close look you'll see that P-R-I-D-E best describes the look on the faces of these two students, one of whom will be moving on to the citywide competition.
A variation of this scene plays out in cities all across the country, with participants setting their sights on the ultimate goal of qualifying for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. where all participants are under the age of 15.
So what are the benefits for a child who participates in a spelling bee? Here's a short list of what a bee can do for your child:
- Boost literacy
- Improve vocabulary skills
- Develop study skills
- Build self-confidence
- Hone public communication skills
According to James Maguire, an author who has traced former Scripps National Spelling Bee participants, most kids who participate in the Scripps Bee go on to lead successful professional lives. So obviously, these benefits are something worthwhile for your child to pursue.
But not all kids are going to advance to the national finals. And honestly, not all families would want that kind of pressure for their child. So how can you help your child achieve and receive the benefits of spelling bee participation without actually going to the finals?
Here are several simple things you can do for your child to ensure he gains the literacy, study skills and self-confidence he needs to create a successful life.
- Search online for some of the numerous free spelling games available for kids. As your child masters more difficult words her self-confidence will soar.
- Play pencil and paper games like Hangman. As your child tries to figure out the correct word his vocabulary will be getting a workout. And as his vocabulary skills increase so will his literacy.
- Have family or neighborhood stand-up spelling bees where the words are geared towards the participant's skill levels. If you have a teenager and an 8 year old, you will simply have three sets of words. An easier list for your 8 year old, an intermediate list for your teenager and a harder list for you or other adults who participate. Your child's oral communication skills will flourish with each round of spelling that you undertake.
So there you have a few simple ideas for helping your child develop some basic skills that will serve him well throughout his life. And in the meantime you will also be forging some awesome bonds as you both work toward the common goal of success.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
07-27-2013 07:03 AM - edited 07-27-2013 07:06 AM
Quick question. I might be going to Canada early next year to vsit friends and I've looked and it seems like Canada takes MasterCards > everything else. I do not have a MasterCard, have a Amex and two Visa's. Does anyone know who gives out Mastercard with NO foreign travel fees? My other cards have the foreign fee so I'm interested in getting one without.
My scores range from the low 700's up. I have 3 inquiries on my Ex (2 from this past year, 1 from 12/2011), no inquiries on the other two bureas. My oldest card is 8 years, newest is my BCP opened this past April. My debt ultilazation is currently 28%, (over 70% on one card) but I should have it paid off by december to <5% ultil overall. Income 35-40K. Don't plan on applying for MasterCard until next year at the earliest that way I can use the (possible) sign up bonus while in Canada. I am more interested in seeing if anyone knows of MasterCards that are given without the foreign fee. Thanks in advance!

I lived in Canada my whole life until two years ago. Anywhere that takes MasterCard, will also take Visa. If you are just getting the card because of acceptance, don't bother. Focus on getting a Visa/ or MC with chip/PIN. You won't find many places that will swipe with signature anymore as of the last few years. Maybe in smaller cities or in a taxi.
Chip&Pin options are still extremely limited here (and most will default to chip & sig anyway). Is it just swipe that is a problem, and chip&sig will still work?

The Miss America organization might want to rethink their decision to crown Kira Kazantsev as their new queen…
Last week, it was revealed that the new Miss America used to work for an infamous abortion clinic. Now, it has also been revealed that Kazantsev was thrown out of her college sorority for "extreme hazing and abusive behavior."
Kazantsev, who attended Hofstra University, served as Recruitment Committee President of the Alpha Phi sorority in 2013. According to Jezebel, Kazantsev and her roommate made their pledge's lives a "living Hell."
Under Kira's supervision, according to the source, pledges in the incoming class were called names, berated for their perceived physical flaws and imperfections, and made to perform physical tasks to the point of bruising and exhaustion—standard sorority pledge stuff paid forward by a person who our source says was herself brutally hazed upon entry into Alpha Phi.
The hazing became so bad that one of the girls reported Kazantsev to school officials. Because Hofstra has a strict no hazing policy, both Kazantsev and her roommate were thrown out of the sorority and banned from attending Greek events on campus.
While Kazantsev's specific actions were not specified, one can get an idea for what she did by examining other hazing allegations at Hofstra:
A recent graduate who attended Hofstra at the same time as Kazantsev told Jezebel that the final two steps of pledging in one (unnamed) sorority involved making all of the pledges remove their underwear and sit on newspapers while the older members forced them to watch lesbian porn. Anyone whose newspaper stuck to them at the end of the video, the former student said, was branded a dyke, ridiculed, and tossed out. The remaining girls were then forced to perform oral sex on their sorority "big sisters." Other Greeks required pledges to sit in circles around bowls of cat food and other various inedibles. They'd take turns eating and as soon as someone threw up, they had to eat the puke. Another sorority would wrap completely naked pledges in tinfoil, take them to bars, and instruct them to dance until last call. Patrons would pull pieces of foil off, and pledges were considered sexually up for grabs.
Despite Kazantsev's history, the Miss America organization has made it very clear that they intend to stand by their new queen, saying that she had been "fully transparent" with them about this incident.
"It's unfortunate that this incident has been exploited to create a storyline that distracts from what we should be focusing on," the organization said. "Kira is an exceptional ambassador for the MissAmerica Organization, and we are excited to be a part of her journey as a force for good across our nation, promoting education and service and working to empower young women."
Oddly enough, Kazantsev's platform for Miss America was called "Love Shouldn't Hurt: Protecting Women Against Domestic Violence."
Do you think Kira Kazantsev deserves to keep her crown? Let us know in the comments below!

Hi All,
Was browsing recipies and came accross Mexican Chocolate Cake which sounds yum! Recipe asks for 1/2 cup sour milk, so err should I just leave a 1/2 cup of milk out of the fridge for day untill it's sour or is this something you buy specially??
P.S If you buy it specially can it be substituted? as I know I've never seen it here!
Hiyas Shola,
The recipe is referring to what's often used as a substitute for buttermilk:
To a cup of milk, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice - mix and let sit for about 10 minutes. Then use. The milk will thicken up a little and look a little curdled.
It imitates many of the qualities of buttermilk, but it's a little more convenient for those of us who don't often have buttermilk on hand.
I add 1 tablespoon vinegar to a cup of milk to make sour milk.
Here are a couple of sites that give directions on how to sour milk. I have used the same method for substituting for buttermilk and it comes out perfect! I usually use vinegar but you can use either the lemon juice or the vinegar. Hope that helps! Good luck with your recipe!
Great, thats easy enough! Thanks guys!

Mr. Jeff Weiss, Ed.D
District Adiminstrator
Ms. Gena Santharam
Principal / Director of Special Education
Dear Richmond Families,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful summer with plenty of time to enjoy this great Wisconsin summer with family and friends. Although the students were off for the summer, many of our staff were busy making plans and getting ready for the upcoming school year. As I enter my fourth year as Richmond's superintendent, I could not be more proud of the dedication shown by our students, families, staff members, and community. Below is a brief summary of some of the work that was done to get ready for the upcoming school year.
This year, the District will continue the curricular alignment of the science program to the Next Generation Science Standards, and the social studies program to grade level expectations. This is the first year of implementing Writer's Workshop in grades K-8. Writer's Workshop is a companion piece to Reader's Workshop. Along with our Gifted & Talented Coordinator, Donna Held, grades two and three will continue the exploration of Personalized Learning. Grade four will start the process of learning more about Personalized Learning, as well. In the middle school, this will be the first year of Standards-Based Reporting. The District is also beginning professional development surrounding the Mental Health Grant that was awarded last year. This fall, the Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports (PBIS) team will be completing Phase One certification. The District's website was redesigned to better communicate with families and the community. There are many great things happening for the students.
On the operations side, Richmond uses a five-year maintenance plan to keep our school in top working order. Over the last three years, the District replaced 18 out of 22 rooftop HVAC units. Carpeting was also replaced in over half of the classrooms during this time, and ceiling tiles were changed out, as well. In this year's budget, there are plans to resurface the parking lot, fix the cement at the front of the building, and add more handicapped parking spaces on the east side of the school. The work in the parking lot is targeted to begin in late spring. By October 2017, the District will make the last payment on the building referendum that was approved in 1998 for the elementary wing addition. After this payment is made, the District will be debt free.
There are many great and exciting things happening at Richmond School. I want to personally thank you for entrusting your children's education with us. Thank you!
Best Regards,
Jeff Weiss
District Administrator

Comments about this product:
Saw this and had to have it! A women's jersey that's not girly. I strength train and have broader shoulders for a woman, and I love the fit there. It's probably the best feeling jersey I own. The color is pretty much what's in the pucture, real Medical/Science blue, and the appropriate insignia in the delta on the front AND back is a nice touch. I don't think it shows online, but the back has "Boldly Go" written across it. The one thing I would recommend is going to the manufacture's website to make sure you pick the right size.

GMC CC260 engines with just one belt that joins all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a serpentine belt, while more than one would all be called drive belts.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs.

Why You May Need to Buy Facebook Likes
It's a pleasure to know that over a thousand people give you a like on facebook, be it for your page, post or photo. But sometimes, having several likes can give you a lot of business value if you are running a company or in the process of promoting a brand new product or service.
Becoming Famous
If you are a celebrity, writer or cook, you'll find that having a facebook fan page is essential for your growth and fame. The fact is, sometimes, you need to draw yourself closer to people in order to be able to make a lot more money. If you feel the same way, then a fan page in facebook can be a good aid for you. And, getting so many likes on your fan page can bring you to the achievement of your goals.
Unfortunately, it does not come so easy acquiring more than a hundred or thousand of likes. If do not find an effective strategy, your page, post or photo will be dumped away in the course of time. What other people are doing is purchasing facebook likes. For instance, you can pay $40 for a total of 10,000 facebook likes.
Marketing Purposes
Amidst a highly competitive market, it is important to apply a strategy that will effectively market your products and services, or simply promote your business name. One ideal strategy you can apply in buying facebook likes. Having thousands of likes in your facebook fan page can get you to the level of popularity one. Huge likes can make your page easy to locate and access by web surfers. Other than that, anyone who is looking at your huge likes can be led to conclude that your product or business is something of good value and worth checking out.
Purchasing FB Likes
Purchasing facebook likes is easy and simple. There are a good number of websites offering FB likes for certain prices. You will get a long list of websites if you start searching by means of your search engine. As expected, there is no uniform offer and pricing among these websites. But in general, you will need to pay more if you want more FB likes. If you are okay with less, then you'll pay less.
Clearly, having several facebook likes is beneficial either for your personal pages or business-oriented account. If you think you won't make it to have tons of FB likes, purchasing them is a much easier decision for you.

She was promoting her solo debut mini-album With Love, J and performed the tracks live for her happy fans.

She wore this girly look while performing her single "Fly", a cover of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe", and more!

AS more services move from under the control of the NHS to the council more people are being encouraged to have their say in a public consultation.
Anything from health visitors to school nursing is being invited.
Dr Dympna Edwards Assistant Director of Public Health said: "Local people have an opportunity to shape services for the future. We want to know from parents, carers and young people what they value about these services and what they would like in the future."
There is government guidance on what services need to do but local views can shape the way child health services are delivered.

Presto News - 8th October 2007
Julia Fischer and the Gramophone Awards
I went down to Dorchester Hotel for the Gramophone Awards this week. It was my first time at the annual ceremony that is regarded as the Oscars of the classical music world (I've never felt able to justify the £2000 a table fee before, but I was invited this year so was more than happy to oblige!). It was a very enjoyable day, particularly because it gave me a rare opportunity to meet up with some of the record label bosses and managers I spend most of my working week talking to on the phone or trading emails with.
Julia Fischer
Presented on the day were the 15 category winners, an overall record of the year and various artist and special awards. You can see all the winners on our awards page, but to briefly summarise I suppose the two biggest winners were Nelson Friere for his disc of Brahms Piano Concertos which was named Record of the Year, and Julia Fischer who was named Artist of the Year. I was particularly pleased to see the latter as I remember being very disappointed not to see any of her discs in the Concerto category when the short-lists were announced a few months ago.
I'm not going to bore you now with a Julia Fischer biography (hugely impressive though it is) - if you want that you can read it on the website - but I will tell you why I think she is so great and why I was so pleased to see her win this award.
It goes almost without saying that to be one of the very top few violinists in the world you have to have a phenomenal technique, a fabulous sound and a huge range of tonal and dynamic extremes. She has all these in abundance, playing the quietist pianissimos with remarkable delicacy, while spinning off virtuoso passages that sparkle with a real sense of fantasy. Where I think she is unique is in her ability to differentiate emotion from sentimentality. It may sound an obvious thing but, particularly in romantic music, I find far too many top musicians get these two things confused. She plays with a directness (born out of deep musical understanding) which builds up far more emotion and feeling than that achieved by performers who linger at ends of phrases or do exaggerated swells on dissonances.
If you don't have any of her discs in your collection I'd probably start with either the Tchaikovsky or the Brahms, and as we've got most of her catalogue down at £10.99 at the moment it is an ideal time to stock up. You can browse all her catalogue here.

8th October 2007
This is just the pick of the recent releases. The New Releases and Future Releases pages are always available for browsing all the new and forthcoming releases.
Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto
Daniel Hope (violin), Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Thomas Hengelbrock
Daniel Hope claims to have had a fascination with the Mendelssohn Concerto since a 6-year old boy. Now he has finally recorded it, but not in the version that usually is played in the concert hall. For his DG debut Hope has chosen the "Urtext" version that he discovered through the Mendelssohn expert Larry Todd. The first version that Mendelssohn wrote was considerably revised according to the wishes of the violinist Ferdinand David for whom the concerto originally was composed. Now Hope has unearthed the first version from 1844 that still has all the elements that make this piece a hit but at the same time is much more passionate and vivid according to Daniel Hope.
Respighi: The Roman Trilogy
Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Antonio Pappano
This is fantastic music, and for both excitement and quality of playing this recording scores very highly. Having established himself as one of the leading operatic conductors of his generation, Antonio Pappano is fast doing the same in the orchestral field.
I heard a Voice - The Music of the Golden Age
Choir of King's College, Cambridge & Fretwork, Stephen Cleobury
This disc features a stunning selection of anthems from the Tudor Times, featuring some of the period's most prestigious composers. It includes a 'This is the Record of John' by Orlando Gibbons which must have been one of the most popular anthems of this era judging by the number of manuscripts that contain it.
John Garth: Six Cello Concertos
Richard Tunnicliffe, Avison Ensemble
John Garth was born not far from Durham in 1721 and was a pupil of Charles Avison, the Newcastle organist and composer. Garth was himself a gifted organist and composer. He was also highly involved with the Durham music scene. The works recorded here were published in 1760 and dedicated to Edward, Duke of York, an accomplished cellist. They were composed at a time of great change in British music - away from the baroque concerti grossi of Corelli and Geminiani towards the three movement 'da camera' approach developed by composers such as J. C. Bach. These Garth concertos contain influences of both styles and are utterly delightful listening.
Handel: Messiah
London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis
Sir Colin Davis's final performances as Principal Conductor of the LSO in December 2006 prior to taking up the position of President of the orchestra featured Handel's Messiah. Sir Colin's previous recording of Messiah, made in 1966, was for many years the most popular of the work. On this new version, featuring an edition of the score prepared by Sir Colin himself, he is joined by a magnificent group of singers as well as the sensational Tenebrae Choir who also featured on his recent recording of Berlioz's L'enfance du Christ.
Mark Padmore (tenor) & Neal Davies (bass-baritone), BBC Symphony Chorus & BBC Symphony Orchestra, Richard Hickox
The Elfin Knight: Ballads & Dances
Joel Frederiksen (bass), Ensemble Phoenix
Telling stories in song is the vocation of Joel Frederiksen, a deep bass with an exceptional timbre. Accompanying himself on the lute or accompanied by his own ensemble based in Munich, this extraordinary musician invites us to discover popular ballads belonging to both English and American traditions. His scrupulous research brings back to vivid life a forgotten world, redolent of the age of chivalry.

Valentine's Day 2017: A brief history of love
Valentine's Day 2017 is just around the corner. Considered by many the most romantic day of the year, criticized by others for commercializing what is supposed to be the purest and most genuine human feeling – love.
No matter which side you are on, it cannot be denied that the holiday has a tremendous impact on culture and society. How did it all begin, though?
The history of Valentine's Day
The origin is still a bit unclear. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints bearing the name Valentine or Valentinus, all of them martyrs.
One of the legends mentions Valentine as a third-century priest in Rome that continued to perform secret marriages under a decree of Emperor Claudius II that had banned marriages for your soldiers. The emperor considered single men to be better soldiers, so Valentine was sentenced to death, once his actions were uncovered.
Other legends suggest that an imprisoned Valentine sent the first "valentine" greeting himself after falling in love with a girl who was visiting him during his time in prison. It is said that before dying, he wrote her a letter that he signed with the now familiar expression "from your Valentine".
There are various theories on why Valentine's Day is celebrated in February. While some support the idea that the middle of February was when Valentine either died or was buried, some claim that it was all an attempt for the Christian church to modify a pagan celebration called Lupercalia.
Lupercalia was an event that took place on February 15 and celebrated Faunus, the god of agriculture, as well as the founders of Rome Romulus and Remus. Among various sacrifice rituals, the celebration also included the pairing of young women in the city with the city's bachelors, that often ended in marriage.
How much do Americans spend on Valentine's Day?
Romanticism turned into a real business in the United States, with Valentine's Day being celebrated by more than half of the American, with 54,8% of them doing something special on February 14, according to Fundivo.
The holiday is by no means cheap. In 2016, Americans spent $19,7bn on gifts and activities related to Valentine's Day, compared to 2015's $18,9bn. The general trend has been upward since 2004, with only 2009 and 2010 being the years with the lowest sales – $14,67bn and $14,13bn, respectively.
This trend has been visible since 2004, and makes the average man spend almost twice as much as a woman with this romantic holiday.
As far as age groups are concerned, it seems that people aged between 25 and 34 are the ones spending most money showing their love on this special day an average of $234 in 2016. The elderly seem to be more on the saving up side, with people aged over 55 spending an average of only $95 in 2016.
No matter whether you will celebrate Valentine's Day 2017 or not, it is important to show your loved one what they mean to you as often as possible, as this will help you keep a healthy, satisfying relationship. After all, the year has another 364 days in which we can declare our love, doesn't it?

This image shows a low demand for the movie Catching Fire because it shows only one person showing up to the theater, but there is a big supply (the empty seats).
This image shows private property rights because the owner made the choice to dispose their property, or the couch.
This shows competition between the Hunger Games and Divergent because the two books are pretty similar.

The Merchant of VenicePosted by Laurence Green
Laurence Green views a Rupert Goold's seriously flawed production of The Merchant of Venice.
Shakespeare's problem play has been given a modern makeover in Rupert Goold's production of The Merchant of Venice (Almeida Theatre) but the result is a bizarre concoction that borders on parody.
In a faraway place, a wealthy heiress is looking for a husband. Back at home a merchant is looking for a loan. Everyone's out to make a killing but everything comes at a price.
The action in this production has been moved to Las Vegas, a brash, phoney world of glitter, gambling and greenbacks, and dollars have replaced ducats as the currency here. In fact, we're in a casino, garishly fitted with starry wallpaper, bridge-themed central stairway, gilded palm trees, one-armed bandits and 24 hour TVs. There is even an Elvis impersonator belting out Are You Lonesome Tonight? backed by scantily clad showgirls. But he turns out to be aggrieved money lender Shylock's disgruntled, obnoxious servant Lancelot Gobbo.
Goold's updating is seriously flawed. He fails to capture the subtlety , paradoxes and psychological depth of the original while pathos, plausibility and dramatic tension are diminished. Furthermore it is hard to believe that Las Vegas should be a hotbed of anti Semitism.
Possibly the most original idea of this production - first staged by the RSC in Stratford in 2011 – which really works is having Portia and her friend Nerissa vet the former's suitors by means of a reality television quiz show all fake smiles, hick accents, rehearsed speeches and cosmetic golden girl looks. The trial scene, too, which is perhaps the best in the whole production, does at least generate a fair amount of tension.
Ian McDiarmid makes a petulant, supercilious Shylock, whose determination to have his pound of flesh seems odd to say the least in this setting. Scott Handy, though, brings a strong emotional truth to the role of the melancholic merchant Antonio, while Tom Weston-Jones is a charmless Bassanio.
The best performance comes from Susannah Fielding as a Southern-accented, baby-doll Portia, whose transformation from clueless-styled airhead to sharp-witted lawyer when disguised as a man, in the climactic trial scene, certainly makes you sit up and take notice.
The Merchant of Venice
Runs at The Almeida Theatre until Saturday 14 February 2015.
Box office: 020 7359 4404
