She said she hears it all the time.
"People say, 'Your life is like a movie.' They compare it to The Blind Side," said Courtney Boyd.
The reference is to the 2009 movie about Michael Oher, the massive offensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans who was born to troubled parents, finally was adopted and then blossomed into a great college football player and first-round NFL draft pick.
A 6-foot-1 senior guard for the Wright State women's basketball team, Courtney might play a different sport and give away three inches and nearly 200 pounds to Oher, but her story is not eclipsed by his in any way.
"People say you ought to turn it into a book," she said with a quiet, self-conscious laugh. "And, aaaah, you never know. My (adoptive) brother, Jake, is an English major. He's a National Merit Scholar finalist. He's just off-the-charts smart, so he could be my co-conspirator. He could handle the writing."
Whether she has a Blind Side tale or not, she does seem to have a blind spot.
She needs no help with her story.
She's been writing it herself since she was a young girl growing up in State Park Place, a battered area near East St. Louis, Ill., that is known for its urban decay, violence and despair, much of it fueled by the kind of alcohol and drug abuse that marred her own family and took the life of one of her closest childhood friends.
Back then, Courtney Boyd was known as Courtney Weeden.
Now she has a different last name, a different place to call home, and some promising new opportunities — all built around the same grit, drive and determination that kept her from becoming a statistic in State Park Place.
After becoming a hoops sensation at Brookville High School, she's headed toward her fifth — and final — basketball season with the Raiders. She got her undergrad degree in education last month and now is working toward her master's degree, which she hopes to complete in just a year.
Her goal is to be a school teacher — actually an intervention specialist working with at-risk or special needs students — and also to coach high school basketball.
In the process she has done what she can to help her younger (biological) brother, Tony. Jr., escape the risks of life back in State Park Place. He now lives here with her adoptive parents, Brad and Amy Boyd, who are Brookville school teachers and have three children of their own.
And nine months ago Courtney had to go back home to bury her 51-year-old father, Tony Weeden, who had died of a heart attack Not only did she handle the arrangements, but she took on the $12,000 in funeral costs, including getting her dad a burial plot at St. John Cemetery in Collinsville, next to his two brothers, one of whom had been killed in a motorcycle accident and the other who, Courtney said, had died of AIDS.
While Tony Weeden Sr. had a troubled life, there was no doubt he loved Courtney.
"Her being gone hurts me every day, but she likes Ohio and you couldn't pry her out of there with a stick," he told me when we spoke by phone a few years ago. "And after seeing what she's doing there, it doesn't bother me a lick any more.
"I'm real proud of her. She's kind of extraordinary, isn't she?"
Troubles or not, father knew best:
Courtney Boyd is extraordinary.
'Lot of crazy stuff'
In State Park Place, which is next to Collinsville, the cycle of poverty and self-destruction seems non-ending. At Courtney's former grade school, Kreitner Elementary, over 90 percent of the students live below the poverty line. The high school graduation rate is 30 percent.
Courtney said her parents were caught up in substance abuse problems and that led to arguing, fights and "a lot of crazy stuff" at home. Police records detail numerous visits to their place on Arlington Street.
And that often meant Courtney, a child herself, was left caring for her three younger siblings.
Her salvation came at school and with the teachers she had, especially Lori Billy, who taught her in second grade, was the elementary school basketball coach — she's now head coach at Collinsville High — and most of all was Courtney's mentor and friend.
"You connect with every one of your students, but you do it at different levels," said Billy, who has taught 24 years in the community. "With Courtney, she and I loved basketball, but it was more than that, too.
"When she was little already you could see the potential, the drive to be successful, and I wanted to help her because I knew her situation. There was something about her that just tugged at you. She's one of those kids who just crawls into your heart and lives there."
The image many Kreitner teachers remember of Courtney is that of the dark-haired girl riding her Mongoose bike to school, one hand on the handlebars and one hugging a basketball to her hip.
When Courtney was young, her dad got her a portable basketball goal and set it up on the edge of the street. "I played there all day long — in the snow, the rain, the heat — just to get out of the house," she once explained. "It was an escape for me. Out there I had more control of my situation. "
When Courtney showed her hoops prowess against the boys on the school playground, that prompted Billy to recruit her as a fourth-grader to play for the fifth-grade team and then advance her on to a higher team each year after.
Off the court, though, Courtney couldn't escape some of life's grim realities. Her friend, Jennifer Herling — with whom she rode bikes — dropped out of school in the seventh grade and got in with the wrong crowd. In 2012, Herling died of a heroin overdose.
As troubles escalated at home, 14-year-old Courtney finally had enough and contacted an aunt who lived in Englewood, begged her to come get her and ended up going to Northmont as an eighth-grader.
When that living arrangement didn't work out, a cousin in Brookville offered her a basement to live in. That got Courtney into Brookville High as a freshman and, more specifically, into Amy Boyd's French class. It was a bumpy adjustment at first, but within a year she was connecting with Amy in much the way she had Lori Billy.
She served as Amy's student aide the next year and started looking at her as a mother figure. She would come over to the Boyds' for dinner, began staying with the family on weekends and eventually Brad and Amy decided to seek custody.
They went to Illinois and met Courtney's parents who signed over custodial rights in front of a notary public who worked at a hardware store and charged $13.
Soon after, Courtney asked Amy and Brad — who she refers to as mom and dad — to adopt her. Although the Weedens initially balked, they did not show up at the court proceedings and on Oct. 2,2009, the adoption was official.
Courtney changed her name and continued to blossom, especially her senior year on the basketball court, where she averaged 30.1 points and 11.3 rebounds a game, shot 55 percent from the floor and finished with 1,576 career points, a school record. She was the Southwestern Buckeye League Player of the Year, won second-team All-State honors and fielded numerous college offers.
She chose Wright State because it would allow her to play Division I basketball and still live at home in a familial situation she had sought for so long.
Ideal career path
Freshman year, playing for then-Raiders coach Bridgett Williams — who had grown up in tough circumstances in East St. Louis herself — Courtney started 25 of 33 games and averaged 8 points and 3.6 rebounds.
The following year, with Mike Bradbury taking over the program, she started 24 of 34 games, once had back-to-back 24 and 27-point games, had six games where she made five or more 3-pointers and averaged nearly 10 points.
But in an exhibition at the start of her junior season, she landed wrong after a layup and tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. That cost her the entire season
Last September, after months of rigorous rehab, she was cleared to play only to be called a day later and told her father had died.
For all their struggles, Courtney said she had been a "a daddy's girl" growing up:
"He used to tell me, 'You're the best. You can do it. Don't ever quit.' He was my biggest supporter at first and he used to come outside and play with me before things got bad and the drugs and alcohol just tore him down."
Upon word of the death, she knew she had to handle the arrangements: "My dad was loved by a lot of people there and I wanted him to have a good send-off. I didn't know how I was going to take care of the expenses, but I knew I was going to do it."
She said she called Billy for guidance: "I knew she'd know because at the elementary school they're dealing with deaths all the time and doing fund-raisers to help the families."
And in the end, the teachers at Kreitner, people from Brookville and fans from Wright State all chipped in and she said she was able to pay off all but the last $2,000 of the bill. The rest was finally taken care of recently by her grandfather's church.
Returning to Wright State after the funeral, she struggled with her dad's loss — "I was a wreck at first" — and with her basketball. She hadn't had time to get in the kind of shape she needed, she was still tentative with the knee and suddenly her shots wouldn't drop.
She lost her starting job to fellow senior K.C Elkins and found herself at the back of the rotation. She would average only 7.3 minutes and 1.7 points last season and shot 16.9 percent from 3-point range.
"When she couldn't hit her shots, her confidence went through the basement floor," said Brad Boyd.
Bradbury thought she hadn't gotten over the injury mentally: "She had a lot going on last season with her dad and all. We all knew it, but we kept it in our little family and didn't let it out.
"But through it all she showed me what I knew already. She's a good person. She's been through a lot and taken on lots of responsibility. She's much older and more mature than most people her age.
"Last year she showed what a great teammate she was. She played a role a lot of people wouldn't be able to adapt to, especially after having started for two years. She handled it beautifully."
Brad Boyd agreed: "She turned her attention to the team. She wanted it to have success and when it did (the Raiders went 26-9 and made the NCAA tournament for the first time), that was enough for her."
That care for others showed off the court, as well.
She's done everything she can to make sure her younger brother has a good life here.
"It was rough at the start for him, same as it was for me, but he's adjusted well and has a lot of friends," she said. "And that's what I wanted. I just wanted him to be a normal kid who didn't have to wake up worrying where he'd eat."
She had hoped to have her two sisters stay here, too, and the younger one did live in Brookville for a year before deciding to move back home. Now both 18-year-old Whitney and 14-year-old Tiffany live with their biological mom and Courtney doesn't have much contact with them.
But the whole situation has only fueled her desire to become a teacher dealing with kids who need a little extra help.
"The career path she has chosen will be ideal for her," Brad said. "Because of the things she's seen and the circumstances she's been through, she'll be able to relate with kids in need and empathize them. She has a real heart for that type kid.
"We're just excited to see how she's going to impact lives. And she'll do it with the right approach. She'll let kids know you don't have to be defined by your circumstances. You can be like her. You can fight through your situation."
And that's just how she's approaching her final year of basketball.
Since last season ended she's been doing everything she can to regain her starting spot. And that's a scenario Bradbury would fully embrace: "I don't want or expect her to be in the same role as she was last year. She gives us experience and she needs to make shots for us. And she can do it. I've seen her be a great player here for two years."
Brad Boyd thinks that can happen again:
"She's been working hard and she's in tip-top shape. Besides what she does (at WSU), we're at the high school gym all the time. She doesn't want her career to end with the individual performance she had last year. She wants to go out and finish her story the way it needs to be finished. She wants to write it the way it should be written."
Just like she's always done.

We love books at our house. My daughter is just learning to read she loves books with repetition. I was so excited to get the new books by Leslie Patricelli in the mail thanks to Team Mom. I decided to keep the Higher Higher book for my daughter and share Baby Happy Baby Sad with my friend's 1 year old. My daughter had fun reading it to him and he was very taken in my the pictures.
Leslie Patricelli is the author and illustrator of a delightful series of bright and engaging children's board books and full-length picture books. Kids love Leslie's Stories because they are fun and silly and parents love them because they teach simple concepts while introducing reading as a fun family activity.
The Bald diaper clad baby is the star of Baby Happy Baby Sad and her other board books giving a fresh take on everyday activities. It has received the Scripps-Howard Best Children's Books of the Year. This book is perfect for toddlers and retails for $6.99
Higher! Higher! is an ingenious picture book of very few words. It expresses the giddy glee of being pushes in a swing. It is for a slightly older audience than the board books but still get for toddlers and those just starting school. It retails for $15.99
I have to admit when I first saw the books I wasn't thrilled with the repetition of the same words but the pictures were so fun and delightful I felt myself being pulled in to the books. My daughter enjoyed them and enjoyed having them read to her as well as reading them herself. As a mom these books get my seal of approval

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a lipid storage disease inherited in a autosomal recessive way. CTX is characterised by childhood-onset cataract, adolescent to young adult-onset tendon xanthomas and adult-onset progressive neurological dysfunction (dementia, psychiatric disturbances, pyramidal and/or cerebellar signs and seizures). Xanthomas appear in the second or third decade; they occur on the Achilles tendon, the extensor tendons of the elbow and hand, the patellar tendon and the neck tendons. The biochemical abnormalities that distinguish CTX from other conditions with xanthomas include high plasma and tissue cholestanol concentration, normal-to-low plasma cholesterol concentration and decreased chenodeoxycholic acid. Long-term treatment of individuals with CTX with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) normalises bile acid synthesis, normalises plasma and cerebrospinal fluid concentration of cholestanol, and improves neurophysiological findings. Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy 3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase alone or in combination with CDCA are also effective in decreasing cholestanol concentration and improving clinical signs; however, they may induce muscle symptoms.

text: 000 FXUS63 KBIS 170634 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1234 AM CST Fri Nov 17 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 1231 AM CST Fri Nov 17 2017 Band of rain/freezing rain remains stretched across the state generally from southwest to northeast. Precipitation has been progressing towards the east, though over the far southwest some light activity is showing up on radar. Will add some low chances over that area. UPDATE Issued at 940 PM CST Thu Nov 16 2017 Band of 700-650MB frontogenetical forced precipitation materialized as the RAP/HRRR portrayed from west central ND into my north central. Area web cams showed precipitation started to reach the surface around Dunn County though air temperatures are on the rise with the precip with no travel hazards reported as of yet west. However, road sfc temperatures over my northeastern CWA at Rugby and Dunseith in the 20s so expect even light rain to freeze on contact with the ground so we opted to throw out a winter weather advisory for freezing rain across my northeast and east central through 3 am CST. UPDATE Issued at 700 PM CST Thu Nov 16 2017 Main forecast challenge this evening will continue to be the threat for light freezing rain and/or sleet and associated impacts to travel. Combination of low, mid, upper level forcing generating clouds and some light radar returns at the moment. Most of the radar returns across western ND are elevated with cloud bases at or above 10K FT AGL. However, across far southwestern ND cloud bases have been dropping the past hour or two along with a few obs reporting light rain where 700-650MB frontogenetical forcing is developing, north of sfc low pressure across northwest SD and ahead of a cold front dropping south from Canada. Models portray this frontogensis increasing this evening east-northeast across west/central ND along with both the HRRR and RAP showing a decent band of light precipitation. Warm air aloft ahead of the cold front will allow a window of freezing rain/sleet coupled with road surface temperatures already dropping to freezing and below. Have mentioned this in the HWO and considering a special weather statement for now rather than a winter weather advisory for freezing rain as expect any precipitation to quickly move to the northeast with minimal amounts of QPF. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 217 PM CST Thu Nov 16 2017 Challenges for the short term include clouds and temperatures associated with wrm/cold frontal passages well as a light mix of rain/snow and sleet/freezing rain. All this would be of significance except the precipitation amounts are very light. Its hard to find much QPF in the models. So kept the POPs low tonight and let the process generate the precipitation type. Mostly rain/snow chances southwest and central with some snow/sleet and freezing rain across the northern James River valley late this evening and after midnight. With trace amounts of QPF do not think this will rise to a significant event. Daytime Friday will start with the cold front moving through the region and high pressure building into the north. The frontal baroclinic zone will remain across far southern North Dakota and this is where a chance of rain and snow will linger through the day. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 217 PM CST Thu Nov 16 2017 After Friday, a dry period is forecast through Tuesday as the h500 flow remains westerly and dry. A short wage trough will move across southern Canada Early next week bringing a cold front through and cooling temperatures for Tuesday. Some light rain or snow shows up on Wednesday as return flow brings warm advection into teh region. So far Thanksgiving looks mainly dry with near to above average temperatures. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1147 PM CST Thu Nov 16 2017 At 1145 PM CST...an area of light precipitation extended from north of KDIK to between KMOT/KBIS to Rolla/Rugby/Devils Lake area.

Blind Human Rights Activist Abused in Chinese Prison
CHINA—The family of human rights activist Mr. Chen Guangcheng from Shandong Province, China, have been unable to visit him since his incarceration last August. On March 1 this year, they finally met for ten minutes.
Chen, 36 years old, assisted lawyers and overseas reporters on numerous occasions to investigate issues of birth control, violence and abuse of women in Linyi, Shandong province. Chen had been under house arrest since August 2005. In August 2006, the Yinan Court sentenced him to four years and three months for "destruction of articles of public and private property and assembling a crowd to disturb public traffic."
Chen was secretly transferred from the Yinan Detention Center to the Linyi Prison two weeks ago. Chen's wife, YuanWeijing, requested a family visit on February 27 and was denied.
On March 1, Yuan again went to the detention center at 8 a.m. and requested a visit with Chen. Her request was approved. Under the supervision of the guards from the detention center, she brought Chen's mother, son, and daughter, and arrived at the Linyi Prison around noon. The meeting lasted ten minutes. Chen and his family were separated by a table. The prison guard forbade Yuan and Chen to told hands and twice interrupted their conversation.
According to Yuan, Chen hasn't eaten well for the past seven months. Chen was finally given enough to eat before the family visit. Chen told Yuan that he has not received a decent meal since his transfer to the Linyi Prison. He is always feeling hungry. Chen also disclosed that the prison applies an inhumane system: it has certain prisoners governing the others.
Before the meeting ended, a prisoner came to take Chen away. As Chen was about to pat his daughter's head again, the prisoner slammed Chen's hand away. "I can tell he is being mistreated in the prison from the conversation. I didn't have time to ask the details. I am very worried," said Yuan.

BANGKOK - An American tourist was killed on the Thai island of Phuket after a British man allegedly picked a fight with him at a bar, followed him back to his hotel and stabbed him to death, police said Sunday.
The body of Dashawn Longfellow, 23, was found before dawn Saturday at the Yanui Paradise Resort with several stab wounds in his chest, said police Lt. Col. Anukul Nuket. Longfellow's passport said he came from Littleton, Colo., police said.
According to witnesses, Longfellow was at a bar near his hotel with a Thai girlfriend when a British man identified as a regular picked a fight with him, Anukul said.
The Briton, who trained in Thai kickboxing, was known for "getting drunk and picking fights and bragging that he's invincible," Anukul said. Longfellow fended off the attacker until bar staff separated them and the American left with his girlfriend.
The Briton is thought to have followed the couple back to their hotel, where Longfellow dropped off his girlfriend and went out to a convenience store, Anukul said. When the American returned, the Briton allegedly was waiting for him outside his room where a fight ensued and Longfellow was stabbed, according to Anukul.
Police said they have issued an arrest warrant for the suspect.

A discussion of the various continuations to Defoe's novel The Fortunate Mistress (usually referred to as Roxana), and especially the one printed in William Hazlitt the Younger's edition of Works of Daniel De Foe (1840). Hazlitt said that this continuation was one first printed in 1745, but in fact, as this article shows, was published in 1765. The complicated muddle stems from a chain of error going back to William Godwin. The article presents as an appendix a checklist of the seventeen eighteenth-century editions of Roxana, indicating which contained continuations.

Lessons From The Mat
From Laughing Elephant to the Giggling Pachyderm and back
It was a good show today. We got up at 4:30a to be on site for 5a. I love my director, my cohort in tv crime who makes even early crew calls fun. So what If the lights went out and wouldn't come back on, and we were delayed by 7 minutes…which by the way…is an eternity in tv time. Or that the game went into OT, For once, we got it right. Sometimes it just works.
He calls our yoga studio the Giggling Pachederm. Which is apropros because we do a lot of giggling here. My director doesn't understand yoga, nor does he care to. But he likes to do good work, and laugh along the way, and that's basically what we do at the Laughing Elephant. So I bring the Giggling Pachederm to the tv truck, blending the good karma of one space with a completely different one, and in return take the director's strong work ethic to the mat.
What worlds are you blending? Do you use the best in each setting to improve them both? We need to remember that everything is connected. Sometimes we are the connection for good, for progress, for positivity. Are you making all that you touch better? And are you giggling along the way? 🙂

Valve's Introduces Steam OS
Steam has announced a plan to bring gaming from the PC to your TV with its new operating system Steam OS.
This also allows for the sharing of games over the family networks along with being able to play your PC based steam games on the steam OS.
Only a few details are now, but we know that the Steam OS will be built on the Linux platform. Steam has set dates for a couple more major announcements next month with the possibility of some new type of gaming hardware and maybe a new game in the half-life series.
We'll keep you posted when more details on the new Steam OS as they are released.
To learn more about the Steam OS on there site.
One response to Valve's Introduces Steam OS
This is intriguing to me, more for my kids than for myself, but—and there's always a but—I'm sure if it's there I would find a use for it.

Fiveten Studio
- Location: Oakland, CA
- Website: fivetenstudio.com
At AT, we're big supporters of companies that promote local artists and designers. So, imagine our delight when we found out about Fiveten Studio, a contemporary furnishings and art boutique in the heart of Old Oakland. The shop was started by Alfonso Dominguez and Sean Matthews a few years ago. Fiveten specializes in functional limited edition objects and furniture, most of which were designed and/or manufactured by local designers and artists (and some of Alfonso's pieces as well, he's a trained architect). The space is bright and airy but packs a serious eye candy punch. Run, don't walk... this store is so under the radar and it's oh, so cool. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
We brought our mother dearest along with us the first time we stopped in Fiveten. She absolutely fell in love with these Louis Zinc Stools. They're by John Reeves and are industrial steel with zinc plate. $450 each. Oh, and how about that white partition? Wow!
What we like most about the majority of pieces in Fiveten is that when you look at them they're art, but when you sit in them they're furniture.
Like most people, we're big fans of Harry Allen's pieces, like this gold banana fruit holder. Other Harry Allen pieces are sprinkled throughout the store.

Having A Baby In Norway – Baby Equipment
As an Outlander, you might not have the 'inside' knowledge of what to buy and what not to buy for your baby's nursery. This information in Norway is usually past down from mothers, discussed in mothers groups or even posted on mother and parenting blogs – however, some of us don't have the luxury of having a Norwegian mother or being socially active due to the language barrier. So to find out why you need certain equipment and how to us it can be difficult for the regular non-Norwegian.
I've found that this valuable information is taken for granted in Norway – because, I guess, it's just common knowledge. It was hard for me to get 'pre-knowledge' of what equipment I needed or what clothes to dress the baby in. Norwegians aren't in the habit of giving 'pre-advice' – but they are pros at 'after-advice'! Before I had Lilu, I was trying to get info from everywhere – Farmor, Tante, friends, midwifes, and doctors – but it was only after the fact (when they saw our baby equipment or clothing) that the information flowed freely. So to help you NOT learn the hard way, like me, this post will share with you some of the most common Norwegian specific equipment that is good to know about before going shopping for your nursery, complete with 'whys' and 'how tos'! (The post 'Having A Baby In Norway – Baby Clothes' will be posted in the near future.)
Baby Equipment
Usual baby equipment like cots, car seats and strollers are basically the same in Western countries. However, each country has slight differences according to climate and trends. For six months of the year Norway is covered in snow, so it's obvious that Norway would have different styles of baby equipment than say a country with a hot climate like Australia. Also Norway has different trends that I find extend back to the olden days.
Prams – Vogner
The pram above is a very popular style in Norway. I would class it as the 4WD of prams. However, it's design is very important in the Norwegian climate.
Firstly, it has a strong broad base and the wheels are fixed (meaning they do not swivel). At first this was a turn off for me as I know how hard it can be to push such a heavy pram that doesn't easily turn. However, this pram is specifically designed this way. The strong base is so the pram can be pushed onto the back wheels for easy turning. The strong base allows for great suspension. (In fact, the best suspension I've ever seen in a pram.) You can often see mothers bouncing their babies to sleep in these prams – in buses, standing in the street or even while walking. It is a lot more practical than having to push the pram back and forth to get baby to sleep.
These prams are good for the city, the suburb streets and even bush bashing. The wide base makes the pram very sturdy which is good for going over rugged terrain. In Norway it is very common to go for a walk with the pram (baby inside, of course) even in a blizzard! Most suburban streets are not paved, and some places are quite hilly, so it is very important that your pram can handle the rocks, puddles, bumps and ditches – fixed wheels are best for these conditions.
Having the fixed wheels and broad base is also important when walking on snow and ice. Swivel wheels will turn in snow tracks or get stuck in debris under the snow. It is much safer crossing snow ploughed roads with fixed wheels. The great suspension will make the pram bounce smoothly over the uneven roads. And as you'd want your pram to last (maybe even to re-sell) this is the pram to do it.
Secondly, the carriage is important for the colder climate of Norway. The carriage can be upgraded to more open ones as your baby gets older, but the basket carriage you see above is primarily for new-borns to one year olds, depending on how big or adventurous your little one is. (Always check the 'weight' allowance when buying prams.) You will notice that the hood has a good extension and that there is a wind guard too. This is especially good in snow and windy conditions. Sometimes knitted 'bunny rugs' are placed over the opening for extra protection.
The basket itself is very deep. This is because of all the things you need to put in it. The basket will come with a thin mattress and padding around the walls. Then you fill it yourself. In the winter, most people put in a short-fleece sheep skin rug (see below). Another layer can be a thick woollen blanket, a voksi (see below) or even a dona and pillow. Sometimes a couple of these things are used together if it is especially cold out. The base of the basket can be propped up to make a seat back so the 'sitting-baby' can view out. Usually a small pillow is used for comfort and support in propping up baby. In the summer, the hood can be lowered right back with the top canvas taken off when it's warm. You can even get little umbrellas that clip onto the pram so you can give shade for baby according to where the sun is.
It is common for these prams to be used as bassinets for the first couple of months for the baby as they are small and snug. They can be wheeled in beside your bed, into the lounge room etc and have wheel protectors (see picture below) so you don't have to worry about bringing in dirt and snow from outside. The prams are also good for putting babies outside, on verandas etc, for a day sleep. It is very common for Norwegians to place their babies outside, even in the middle of winter for daytime naps. I was a little dubious of this at first. However, I've learnt that fresh air is good for the baby, especially good for circulation, and actually helps the baby to sleep deeper and longer. Though, you need to make sure the baby is rugged up for winter outside naps, and I wouldn't suggest doing this if your baby is at the active stage and can crawl out of the pram.
These prams can be bought at speciality stores or normal shops like Reflex or Brio. Toy stores also stock baby equipment.
Sheep Skin Rugs – Lammeskinn
Wool products are very important in a cold climate. They are natural, keep you warm, and pull away moisture. It is typical to use short fleece lamb skin rugs in the baby's sleeping places (picture below), such as cots, prams and even the floor. You can also get a rectangle shape that will fit in your pram. The short skin fleece provides a soft warm base – however, it is best placed on a hard flat surface as the baby still needs strong support to lay. Wool or knitted materials are particularly necessary, especially in the North, for baby clothes but we will discuss that more in detail in our next Having A Baby in Norway post.
These lamb skins can be bought at speciality stores or normal shops like Reflex or Brio. Toy stores also stock baby equipment. Sometimes supermarkets like Coop sell cheaper versions.
Sleeping Bag – Voksi
'Voksi' is a brand name for a special type of baby sleeping bag in Norway (and Scandinavia). The bag is based on a thousand year old tradition of a sheep skin bag for babies especially made for the tough winters of Norway. There are may different varieties with natural materials. The voksi is like a dona or fleece blanket that can be tied up in certain ways for different practical uses. It can be used as a throw rug, sleeping bag, pillow, play mat etc but best of all you can tie it to suit your growing baby – particularly important so you don't loose your baby to the bottom of the sleeping bag – just tie it to match your baby's length. These real voksis are quiet expensive but last from birth to about three years. And if you plan on having more than one child then it's a good investment. They last for a very long time and can be re-sold. The one we used for Lilu was actually Moose's old one from when he was a baby.
Voksi can be bought at speciality stores or normal shops like Reflex or Brio. Toy stores also stock baby equipment. The main website for this brand is: www.voksi.com
High Chairs – Stokke 'Tripp Trapp'
This is for the older baby. The high chair pictured below is very common in Norway. They even have them in restaurants and cafes. Norwegians love using natural materials so you'll find that wood is very popular in all baby equipment. You will see in the design below that this chair is made to be very adjustable. You can get extra fittings for it like a cushioned back and set, and a table. The best thing I like about this style is that it is compact, easy to clean and very table friendly – it fits perfect at the dinning table. However, in using this model you need to set it up correctly with the seat back so the baby can use the foot rest, otherwise it can cause strain.
These high chairs can be bought at speciality stores or normal shops like Reflex or Brio. Toy stores also stock baby equipment.
Woollen Breast Pads – Ammeinnlegg
These little things are fantastic if you are breastfeeding. They soak up the moisture straight away. The natural wool helps your breasts to be warm and cosy. You can get different sizes which also can have extra 'soak-up' pockets. It is good to change these breast pads often as they can go stiff and sometimes need to be peeled off your breasts. You might also need to buy two or three pairs for change-overs but they do dry pretty quick. You will need to wash them in wool specific detergent as they will deteriorate with normal detergent. But these are definitely a lot nicer to wear than disposable ones.
Woollen breast pads can be bought at speciality stores or normal shops like Reflex or Brio, chemists (pharmacies), toy stores with a stock of baby equipment. Sometimes supermarkets like Coop sell cheaper versions.
Nappies – Bleier
Unfortunately, there is not a cloth nappy to be seen in Norway! The reason? There were attempts made a couple of years back to reintroduce cloth nappies again for 'environmental friendly' purposes. However, they found out through research that the environmental benefits were cancelled out by the amount of washing that needed to be done. All the soap and chemicals used to clean the cloth nappies made them environmentally unfriendly-er than disposable ones – huh, who would have thought? So, you will have to buy disposable nappies from the get-go.
There are two leading brands in Norway: Pampers and Libero. Libero caters for larger sizes. (Even though Lilu is 18 months she is the size of a three year old! Well, Pappa is 6'7″ so the extra big sizes are certainly needed.) I'm impressed with the Norwegian Libero website. It has so much info about their nappies:
What nappy will best fit the weight of your baby
Environment-friendliness of their nappies
List of Q&A from readers and users
General facts about Libero nappies – how made etc
How to put on a nappy – comfort
– all in Norwegian, of course. The website also has a forum, activities and mothers discussions. All this just from a company that sells nappies? Wow.
The good thing about buying nappies from supermarkets, there is generally a permanent nappy deal. At Obs! Coop you can get 10kr off each nappy packet (no matter the brand) if you are a member (a 'frequent buyer' member).
It would have been nice to have the choice of cloth nappies – but they just aren't practical in the Norwegian climate. Cloth nappies have a tendency to wet through (even with plastic pants on top) and this is certainly not good for the baby when out in the cold – especially, as there aren't many baby change rooms. At least disposable nappies can hold a lot more and can wait for a 'wet' change until you get home.
If you have come across any Norwegian-specific baby equipment and how to use it – do share. All of the non-personal items above can be bought second-hand on Finn.no. But here are the more popular stores (with websites) for baby equipment in Norway:

Unanswered: Picture help
I'm developing a training database for my employer using Access 2000. My problem is as follows:
I have a table tblEmployees with employee information. The boss has now requested that employee photographs be included for each employee. The equipment that will be used is a digital camera that will be "docked" to a computer to automatically upload the JPEG's. I need help on how to ensure that the proper photo is associated with the correct employee. I do not need the file names to be changed, but if it's possible, that would be the Holy Grail for this problem.
The computer literacy of the end user will be very low to intermediate at best. I need a "IDIOT PROOF" method to accomplish this and by the way, the camera is not dedicated to this use and the person inputing new employee info may not be the same person who captures/uploads the JPEG.
My solution to this is to create a field in tblEmployee called empPhoto that will store the file name of the picture. I'll have a global constant to provide the path to the appropriate folder where the files will be uploaded to. Using recordsets I would get a list of associated file names (where isnull(tblEmployee.empPhoto)= False) . Based on this information, any .jpg in the folder not in that list would be a new file. The form would have at least 6 unbound image controls that would display the images that need to be linked to an employee (that list comes from isnull(tblEmployee.empPhoto)= True). The association would be driven by a click event of a command button. Another recordset would update the table with the appropriate file name. That's the easy part. What I need help with is how to get a list of all files in a folder (not using explorer) and/or renaming then moving a file from one folder to another folder. Or is there an easier way to do this?
I would like to thank you in advance for any help with this problem.

betway to do this is the filesystem object and fill a list box on a form with these file names.
then from there you can select an item and control what you want to do.
here is code to help you - you will have to modify this to your app
What this code does is diplays all relevant files to a customer ID that are in a folder and displays them in a listbox
My app actually then will open acrobat to display the selected file but that is unimportant here.
Private Sub Combo16_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[CustId] = " & Str(Me![Combo16])
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
txtcustid = Combo16
' Dimension variables.
Dim myarray()
Dim fs As Object
Dim i As Integer'
' Declare filesearch object.
Set fs = Application.FileSearch'
' ' Set folder to search. This example assumes that the files reside
' ' in the U:\Documents and Settings\a-fell\Desktop folder.
fs.LookIn = "U:\images\"'
' Set file name to search for. This example assumes that you
' want to search for .txt files.
fs.FileName = Me!txtcustid & "x*" & ".*"''
' Execute the file search, and check to see if the file(s) are
' present.
If fs.Execute > 0 Then
' Redimension the array to the number of files found.
ReDim myarray(fs.FoundFiles.Count)
' Loop through all found file names and fill the array.
For i = 1 To fs.FoundFiles.Count
myarray(i) = fs.FoundFiles(i)
Next i
' Display message if no files were found.
MsgBox "No image files were found", vbExclamation
Me.List0.RowSource = ""
If IsLoaded("forms!frmimageview") Then
Forms!frmimageview!Image1.Picture = ""
End If
End If'
' Loop through the array and fill the list box on the UserForm.
If fs.FoundFiles.Count > 1 Then
Me.List0.RowSource = myarray(1)
For i = 2 To fs.FoundFiles.Count
Me.List0.RowSource = Me.List0.RowSource & ";" & myarray(i)
Next i
For i = 1 To fs.FoundFiles.Count
Me.List0.RowSource = myarray(i)
Next i
End If
End Sub

Saudi Interior Minister Meets with Iraqi Opposition Leader in Tehran
Saudi Interior Minister Nayef Ben Adel Aziz met here Tuesday night with exiled-Iraqi Shiite opposition leader, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim, Iraqi opposition sources told AFP.
The meeting between Nayef and Hakim, the Iranian-based chief of The Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, lasted for 90 minutes and focused on arms sales and political and parliamentary relations in the Middle East, the source told AFP Wednesday.
No other information was available on the meeting.
The session followed the signing of a milestone security accord between Saudi Arabia and Tehran, which will coordinate the two Islamic powers' efforts at combating drug smuggling and political violence in the Gulf area.
Hakim, who has lived in Iran for 20 years, had accepted for the first time a direct dialogue on April 3 with the United States in the name of toppling the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Traditionally, Hakim had opposed US-led intervention in Iraq and Washington's backing of the Iraqi National Congress, a mosaic of opposition groups -- TEHRAN (AFP)

This photo is a sad representation of what was me repeatedly spotting a man dressed in a bright red jumpsuit all around town and finally getting up the nerve to ask him if I could take his photo as he walked past my favourite shooting spot and I thought 'serendipity.' Unfortunately he wasn't that keen to stick around so I only got one shot and I'm not sure it's really done the job in capturing him. Bugger. That is always going to be the problem with shooting on the street.

The Mystery of the Man With the Ankh
The first of these photos, He Wore An Ankh, I've already shared on Flickr. The second is an outtake from that roll, the man revealing his Ankh to me. Both are quite interesting pictures but the face only one is more in keeping with the work I'm currently producing. But is it the one which the subject of the photo would like best? In this case the man felt his Ankh necklace was worthy of unbuttoning his coat for. This is how he wished to be represented. So should I have only shared that photo? Or neither if I didn't feel it fitted my theme? Or after they are taken is it up to me to choose what I wish to represent photographically and which image best suits that purpose? How important is it that the person being photographed gets to decide how they are portrayed? Or is the photograph a work of fiction/art to the point where it no longer matters and it is only about my intention as a photographer? I don't know the answer yet but I do know I am going to have to think more carefully about this in the future if these are the sorts of portraits I am going to be taking...

Inspiration #3 February
Because February is bleak and seemingly endless my photographic inspiration for this month seems to follow suit. I feel as if I need to be shooting more Foma 200 pushed to 800 and have everything black and white.

Portraits of a BadCatt
Here are a couple of portraits of my lovely partner and fellow photographer BadCatt Taken on Fuji Superia X-Tra 800, the outside shot is on expired film and the other one is not. I'm really falling for this film type. If you don't mind the slight lean towards blue or if you want to use that to your advantage then it's a pretty nice film to shoot in a wide variety of lighting conditions and with a nice level of grain to it.

Close Up Street Portrait #1
Recently I've been trying to conquer my fear of asking people if I can take their picture when out shooting on the street. Whilst I don't mind shooting without asking too much- there is an element of excitement to photographing without permission, I feel as if for the portraits I want to capture, I need to be able to get in closer to my subjects. I'm shooting with a 50mm lens and a very wide aperture so to capture a person I need to be much closer than can reasonably be achieved without asking. This photograph is from my first roll in which I started to do this. What I like about it is how mournful he looks. I wish I had looked more at the background though. I feel as if he could do with standing out more. Still, hopefully this is just the beginning.

Organising Flickr
When I first started this blog I was just throwing images without much care onto Flickr just so I could have content and because I was proud of being able to produce anything at all with a film camera. However only six months later I'm entirely rethinking that approach. As I am only using the Minolta X-300 for this year and trying hard to concentrate on taking photos I think are interesting and technically accomplished I've also begun looking at what I was producing before and asking how representative it is of what I do or want to do. As such, over the past few days I've begun to reorganise and delete a lot of my old photos. Taking my photostream from somewhere near 110 images to just over 30. That has meant having to re upload any photos to this blog that were once hosted by Flickr and I've since deleted. This is a lot of photos. I think the process has been worth it though. Scrolling through my diminished Flickr I'm pretty proud of most of the photos either for what they are or for what they represent at what is still the beginning of my journey as a photographer.
Screenshot from my revised Flickr feed with some portraits of Colcestrians I've still to show you.

The photo I am going to share today (from the same HP5 roll as the previous post) is one which BadCatt and I have been disagreeing over. I say it's an alright portrait but nothing special but he really really likes it and I don't understand why. Sure it's got a decent tonal range and she has an interesting face but essentially it's just nothing more than a nice picture of a woman on the street. Right?
Friday, 6 February 2015
My latest roll of film has been a home developed roll of HP5 that I shot over a couple of days last week. For the first half of the film Badcatt and I went out into town and photographed strangers and the second half was a trip with my band to the coast to get some field recordings. Essentially we went fishing for sound.
This shot is one of the first I took on the roll. For some reason that day I was feeling really hesitant to ask people if I could photograph them. Until this guy came along and I realised I had to stop being stupid and just ask him. I'm glad that I did!

Accidentally Expired Film
Because I'm not the richest of people I'm always looking for a film bargain and so when I saw a roll of pretty cheap Fuji Superia X-Tra 800 going on Ebay I snaffled it up. Snaffled without first looking at the expiry date. My bad. This one expired in 2007. Not quite what I was looking for. Especially considering that I didn't know how it had been stored and the film would definitely have lost some sensitivity over the 7 or so years it has been out of date. So I didn't have particularly high hopes when I shot through the roll.
The day BadCatt and I wet out to shoot was freezing cold and overcast and probably entirely wrong for taking photographs at all and for the first half of the roll I just didn't know what to shoot and everything felt like crap. Eventually I took one photo that I thought might be okay and from there, mentally at least I felt like I was improving.
Anyway, when it came to developing and scanning the film I was pretty surprised to see that some of the images were actually okay. The emulsion was doing something weird though in that it picked up yellow really clearly and green hardly at all. I can't wait to shoot this film again but an in date roll and see what it does.
Here are a couple of shots I took as it started to get darker out. Not great, but interesting for the colours and ability in low light,,.

This is a continuation-in-part of my prior U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/355,423, filed Jan. 30, 2003, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to an illuminated headgear of the type worn by adults and children for work-related and recreational activities.
The use of various protective headgears is growing in today's society. Protective headgears are used in many recreational activities including, but not limited to, cycling, walking, running and participation in sports activities. These activities may be carried out at night or in low light conditions such that illumination would be advantageous. For example, strips of reflective material are well known for use in jogging clothing and shoes.
There have been attempts to develop illuminated headgears in industrial fields such as for mining and construction, for firefighting, and more recently for recreational use, including motorcycling.
Such headgears have been limited to use of large incandescent lights, electroluminescent light strips and more recently to use of small lighting elements such as light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Ippoliti et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,319,308, discloses a motorcycle helmet which makes use of LEDs to direct light between two thin shells of curvilinear profile such that characters, such as alphabet letters, are illuminated on the side of the helmet. The light sources are located in the bottom of the helmet to direct light upward and generally parallel to the thin shells, with light being reflected between the shells due to the curvilinear profile of the shells.
Chien, U.S. Pat. No. 5,871,271, shows a cycling helmet with hard shell outer layer and a protective shock absorbing layer in which LEDs in star shapes and other shapes are proposed to be mounted on circuit boards that fit within recesses in the helmet. In one embodiment, the LED's are placed inside of enclosures with opaque and translucent portions to form illuminated star shapes. These shapes are quite small and intended to impart a shape to an individual LED element.
Mantha et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,743,621, shows a helmet with illuminated translucent panels in the front and back of the helmet.
Many other prior patents show various types of illuminated headgears. Although each type of illumination process has their advantages and disadvantages, they are for the most part non-cost effective, difficult to produce and not very eye-appealing to the consumer. As a result these designs have not been widely seen in the recreational field.
Another technical problem in providing illuminated headgears, is retaining the strength of the helmet to impacts. Thus, the lighting assemblies should not result in a weakening of the structure of the headgear or a substantial lessening of the headgear's ability to distribute and absorb energy due to an impact.
It is a general object of the present invention to produce illuminated protective headgears for a variety of uses that are relatively inexpensive, simple to manufacture and have a low number of components, while having superior visual effects and commercial appeal for the user and the consumer, while retaining the strength of the headgear in resisting impacts.
A more specific object of the present invention is to improve on the lighting effects of illuminated headgears, by providing a headgear in which various graphical designs may be used in multi-element flashing light displays to show the location of the user by providing a motion effect. In this context, the term "graphical" is intended to exclude mere configurations of alphabetic letters and numerals of a type shown in the prior art and generic geometric shapes such as squares, triangles, and circles.
The invention can be further enhanced by utilizing multi-colored elements or by operating the light sources to achieve a strobing effect.
While the invention is disclosed in the context of a headgear for recreational uses, the headgear of the present invention may be adopted for other uses not described herein.
Also disclosed are advantageous features in construction to achieve the above objects. These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description that follows and from the drawings, which are incorporated herein, and which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. The invention is not limited to such preferred embodiments, but is instead defined by the claims which follow the description.
Generally, the hard outer plastic shells currently found in bicycle helmets use a color additive added to the molded or extruded plastic material to produce a solid through color. They may also be painted or anodized to impart additional color. In contrast thereto, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer shell 12 is made of a clear transparent or milky white translucent polycarbonate, PETG (polyethylene terephthalate) or any other hard clear or translucent plastic material corresponding to the shape of the upper portion of the inner protective impact-absorbing core 11.
In the illustrated embodiments, there are two large windows 13 or 13 a (one being shown in
The inside, outside or both areas of the translucent shell 12 can be either painted or anodized to provide an opaque area on the shell 12. By using a stencil or other various techniques, windows 13, 14 in a desired graphical shape can be preserved within the opaque area. The opaque film material is then applied to cover the remaining portions of the clear or translucent shell 12 around the windows 13, 14. As seen in
As seen in
Located within these shallow cavities 18 a, 18 b, 19 a, 19 b are one or more light sources 20–27. The light sources 20–27 may be secured directly in the foam core 11, or as seen in
Each substrate 44 a contains the traces or wires which connect through wires 45 in parallel connection to an on-off switch 28 and electrical energy source 29, which are located in cavities 30, 31 (
It is also possible to provide small individual battery sources for each light source. These can be turned on and off by pressing or screwing the battery sources to an active position from an inactive position. In that case, the wiring and the battery described below are not necessary.
The light sources 20–27 are soldered to their respective substrates 44 a and secured in their selected shallow cavities 18 a, 18 b, 19 a and 19 b. They are covered by the hard outer plastic shell 12 having their respective windows 13, 14 reasonably corresponding to the general shape of the shallow cavity contained underneath. The light sources 20–27 can be composite light emitting diode components that are super bright, wide-based, low-profiled, having a wide angle of view, and having at least two like-colored or different-colored light elements each. The light sources 20–27 each contain their own timing circuitry which, together with light emitting diode elements, is contained in a clear encapsulation material. In addition, the light sources 20–27 and their substrate 44 a are encapsulated in a layer of transparent, solid material 44 b such as an epoxy-based material which is applied over the substrates 44 a and the lighting sources 20–27 and allowed to cure to form a solid lighting panel assembly 44. This construction imparts a stiffness to the lighting panels 44, so that when they are placed in the cavities 18 a, 19 a in the core 11, they will provide a sealed semi-rigid assembly that will withstand impacts to the headgear without collapsing under forces applied under testing standards. In other embodiments, the windows 13 could be open apertures for receiving the lighting panels 44, which would provide a surface flush with an outer surface of the shell 12.
In another preferred embodiment, represented by
Besides the graphical shape provided by the windows or the light sources as seen through the windows, the details of the graphic may be placed in one of several alternatives. The details of the flame for example, can be applied on the windows, if the windows are solid material. The graphic details of the flame could be applied to light panels or the light sources if they are large enough, which are seen through the windows. Or, the details of the flame graphic could be placed on a substrate for an individual light source, which is then mounted on a circuit board and encapsulated to form a lighting panel.
These alternative embodiments are represented in
Referring again to
A circuit for supplying power and controlling on-off operation is located on the back lower section of the inner impact-absorbing core ridge 11 b, and includes a rocker-type switch 28 or any other suitable device for on-off energized operation. The switch 28 is located in and secured inside cavity 30. The cavity 30 contains an impact distribution support 46, which is secured to the back of cavity 30. This support 46 is made of plastic or other suitable material and is the same size as the cavity 30. It is used in the event of a hard impact to the switch 28, to prevent the switch 28 from being forced into the impact-absorbing core material. This switch 28 is connected in series with the power supply assembly 29, containing three (3) AAA batteries 32 connected in series for a total available voltage of 4.5 volts (
Referring to
Power supply assembly 29 is inserted into cavity 31 and secured in place by door 36 which closes the cavity 31 from the bottom. Two screws 37, 38 are inserted through holes in the door 36 to secure the door 36 in the closed position. The door 36 provides access to the power assembly 29, so that exhausted batteries may be replaced with fresh batteries.
Referring to
As represented in
Referring to
As one can easily perceive, there are a multitude of varying color combinations and shapes, sizes, dimensions and locations of graphically shaped light sources and windows that can be used. These can range from animate and inanimate objects to company logos and the like. The term "graphical" should be understood here to exclude mere letters or numbers as shown in the prior art, and generic shapes such as circles, squares and triangles. The desired effects of the invention are achieved when the area of the windows is at least three times the area of one of the light emitting elements in the light sources 20–27, 20 a–27 a, and preferably is on the order of four or more times the area of one of the light emitting elements. The invention can utilize various oscillating circuitry such as MOS/CMOS integrated circuits, TTL/LS integrated circuits and linear integrated circuits and their accompanying components to produce an array of timed output voltage signals. In addition to using LEDs of high illumination value, a correct wide degree of viewing angle and color combinations can also be utilized.
The illuminated headgears described herein may be used for, but are not limited to use in, sports and recreational activities.
The intent of the present invention is to reduce the number of components used in the manufacturing process in addition to producing a pleasing, attention-getting and illuminating effect to the eye of the individuals observing the illuminated protective headgear.
It is also an object to instill the visual perception of activity of the user, thereby alerting the observer of the headgear to the user's presence.
The headgear also has a smooth outer surface and aerodynamic shape with the light sources disposed in cavities so as not to project into the outer surface of the headgear. This makes the headgear look like an ordinary type of headgear, when the light sources are not illuminated.
This has been a description of the preferred embodiments and best mode of carrying out the invention, but it will be apparent to those with skill in the art to which the invention pertains that various modifications may be made to these specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and that such modifications are intended to be encompassed by the following claims.

Une envie de Soupe
Last Saturday night I had a urgent need of soup. The same my mother makes and use to make. She is the master of this one, in fact I was never able to duplicate the same way, it never taste as good as at Home even if I use the same thing!
Anywhere soups are easy and delicious. You just need to clean the vegetables, peel them and cut, chop them. You saute them and add some water and you leave the soup on its own.Voila!
This is a sure way to eat you 5 vegetable serving daily, this is a comfort food, all the family loves it and it stores very well in refrigerator and is actually improved with time. You can even freeze it.
My mother Vegetables Soup
2 cups water
2 potatoes -- medium size
5 carrots -- diced
1 small onion -- diced
1 celery stalks -- diced
1 leek
2 garlic cloves
½ turnip
¾ Olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt -- or to taste
1 tablespoon Chicken flavor Bouillon
21 spices from Trader Joe's
1 teaspoon dry basil
1. Clean well your leek under running water head down. Keep the green and the white. Dice it.
2.Peel all other vegetables, and dice them.
3. Add olive oil in a heavy, large pan with lid. Add all the chopped vegetables. Saute on medium heat until vegetables are softened and onion browned lightly.
4.2 cups of water, the water must be just above the vegetables in the pan
5. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until all the vegetables are done. Add the salt and pepper.
6. With your hand blender, blend the mixture
Crème fraiche, sour cream and heavy cream can be added in your plate. Serve with crispy buttered slices of toasted fresh bread
N.B Leaving near Mexico it is easier to find " crema Mexicana" that " Creme Fraiche"

C'est drole cette coincidence: il y a deux semaines, j'ai assiste a une soiree speciale Pain... qqn avait utilise cette creme mexicaine a la place du lait ribot (trouvee en catasptrohe chez l'epicier mexicain de coin...).

Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on a community framework for electronic signatures [EC 1999/93] - referred to as the Directive in the remainder of this document - established a legal framework for electronic signatures and certification-services in order to contribute to their legal recognition. It is laid down in article 5.1 that electronic signatures fulfilling certain quality metrics - so called qualified electronic signatures - satisfy the requirements of handwritten signatures. In article 5.2 a residual provision is given where general signatures are defined admissible as evidence in legal proceedings, even if the quality metrics of qualified electronic signatures are not met. The scope of this document is on the latter - general signatures that do not comprise the requirements laid down for qualified electronic signatures in article 5.1 of the Directive. The document therefore analyses the differences between cryptographic mechanism of digital signatures, qualified electronic signatures (according to article 5.1 of the Directive), and general electronic signatures (according to article 5.2 of the Directive). In addition, a set of use cases of electronic signatures which do not fulfil some of the requirements laid down in article 5.1 are discussed in order to point out its effectiveness in e-commerce environments or in various application fields asking for authentication measures. In addition to the use cases, the evidence that is provided by electronic signatures is discussed. The electronic signatures and certification-services are broken up into its basic elements and the proof provided by each element is discussed from a legal perspective in order to establish the coherence between the technical elements and its legal effect. An Annex of the document contains a Protection Profile (PP) for a Signature Creation Device (SCDev) suitable for such general electronic signatures. The SCDev-PP follows the provision of the Common Criteria (CC) [ISO 15408]. It is based on the [SSCD PP] that has been developed as a standard for devices that are capable of creating qualified electronic signatures. A comparison between the [SSCD PP] and the SCDev PP is given that points out the main differences. Although a CC PP has been chosen in the Annex of this CWA for highlighting the added value of independent evaluation of the security measures provided by the SCDev, other evaluation criteria may serve that purpose as well. Examples of such criteria are [FIPS 140-2] or [ITSEC].
