"I have a friend with a 4 month old son, who was born with a cleft lip. He just had his first surgery yesterday. I think she would find it most helpful, to have an opportunity to get information and talk to other parents who have been going through the same things. I love the website and I commend you!"

"Beautiful Smiles" By Ashley Barbour "Why's your face look so funny? It scares me. Get away." That was the voice of one of the kindergarteners in the hallway as I walked to the class I currently observe and teach. I'm 21 years old and it still stings the same as it did when I was 4, entering into my own kindergarten class. I was born on December 1st, 1985 with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. I have spent the majority of my life trying to blend in. I never wanted to be noticed for being different. Countless nights of my childhood were spent praying that I could look the same as the other kids in my class. In elementary school I was very lucky that the teasing was kept to a minimum. I gave yearly presentations on clefts and brought in baby pictures. I've discovered that if children understand why differences exist, they're more likely to be tolerant. I remember a story from when I was in 6 th grade. A girl from another classroom was making fun of my lip. Andrew, a boy I went to elementary school with said, "Hey stop it. It's not like it's her fault." I have never been more appreciative of anyone. He knew about my cleft because of the teaching I had done when I was younger. It's good to know that there are wonderful people out there and that some of the kids, even in grade school were able to understand me. For the most part though, despite occasional teasing, I was a happy, normal child. I just happened to have surgeries punctuating the years in which I grew up. I despised those surgeries and hospitals. I hated the doctors; hated the way that they didn't look at me when they discussed my "condition." Hated the way they touched my nose, prodded in my mouth, and pulled at my cheeks, all as if I wasn't human. I spent the months before my surgeries dreading them. To this day, I can give you the exact date on which my surgeries occurred because in those months it was all that filled my head. The medical staff always gave me a tour of the hospital in order to prepare me for my stay, they loaded up a goody bag with rubber gloves and medical face masks as if that made it all better. "We look forward to seeing you in three weeks Ashley!" The smiling brunette receptionist made me sick to my stomach. I glowered at her and clenched my fist around the handle of my goody bag. "Just sign right here." She pointed to an "x" and my mom leaned over the paper, gripping a black pen. I wanted to scream. I wanted to yell at my mom, "if you love me so much the way I am, then why are you making me do this? I'm fine!!" But instead, I stood quietly, scowling at the receptionist and the two year olds playing happily in the waiting room with Legos, who had no idea what was coming to them. Unfortunately, as hard as I tried, I could never stop time. When surgery rolled around, as it always did, my parents sat with me in the waiting room. I only remember the feel of my mom's heartbeat on my cheek. I would sit curled up in her lap, wetting her shirt with my tears. My dad sat next to us occasionally rubbing my leg. Except for the glances he stole every once in awhile, his eyes stayed focused on the hand held electronic black jack game we always brought with us. My father is an incredibly sensitive man and I knew he thought he had to stay strong for me. His energy was poured into that game because if it weren't, he would have cried with me. We seem to share a heart, and deep down I knew he was in as much pain as I was. I soon would fall into a drug induced sleep hearing only the soothing sounds of my mother's breath, an electronic shuffling of cards, and a man's soft voice saying "place your bets." My life has been blessed with an amazing family. They have always been by my side, and although recovery was never fun, it was manageable because of all of the love that surrounded me. There were times when I couldn't eat for several weeks after surgery and my mom always made the best peanut butter chocolate milkshakes. I am forever indebted to them. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share my life with. I am much older now. I suppose I'm almost grown. However, it wasn't until recently that I started embracing what makes me different. When I was 8 or 9, my parents began to receive the Wide Smiles magazine. Their website had also just gotten up and running. I refused to look at any of it. I didn't want to see pictures of other children like me. I didn't want to read books about people who had gone through similar experiences. I was normal, and that was all there was to it. A few years ago, I snuck a peak at the Wide Smiles website. That first time I cried. It was incredible to see just how many families are affected by this condition. I loved seeing the pictures of the babies with clefts. They were all so beautiful. They were all so much like me. On my quest for information, I also decided to ask my parents questions that I was too afraid to pose before. I asked them what their first thoughts were upon seeing me. I was always terrified that they were repulsed by me. My parents like many others, had no idea that I had a cleft until I was born. I didn't want to hear them say that they didn't want me, but I also wanted to hear the truth. When I finally got up the courage to ask, my mom said, "Well first, we thought that you had the most beautiful eyes that we had ever seen," she smiled, and her eyes got a little bit misty. "We were a little bit concerned that there might be something cognitively wrong. We had no idea what a cleft was, or anything that might go along with it." When they got over the initial shock, my dad went on to tell me that my mom took on a "my baby and me against the world" attitude. She took me and my un-repaired cleft everywhere and glared at anyone who looked at me funny. "Finally, when it came time for your lip repair surgery," my mom continued, "we were actually sad that you were having it. We had fallen in love with your face and it hurt us to think that we were going to be responsible for changing it." As much as I kicked and screamed about my surgeries when I was younger, I look back and am grateful for everything that doctors and medicine are able to do. I am a very healthy girl with a wonderfully normal life. I am in my last year at Michigan State University, studying Deaf Education. I have amazing friends and a loving family. I have recently wanted to become involved in helping cleft affected families. I want to be able to show people that your child can have a cleft and still end up with a beautiful and fulfilling life. As for the young children who still stare at me, for the ones who say mean things, I have learned to take it all with a grain of salt. It is their lack of knowledge and understanding that causes them to fixate their eyes on my lip or make hurtful comments. I just smile and try to explain to them as best I can that I was just born a little bit differently. Just like kids have different colored hair, I happen to have a differently shaped lip. It's not anybody's fault, it just happens sometimes. They usually nod and smile and go back to playing. It does still sting when their remarks are brutal, but I also welcome the opportunities to educate people about what makes me unique. My cleft has made me who I am today, and I think it is important that everyone knows and understands about one of the most influential parts of my life. To be honest, sometimes I am still embarrassed about how I look. Some days are worse than others. For the most part, however, I'm happy to be who I am. I try to live my life to the fullest, and right now, I love every minute of it.

The Orange County Register
November 18, 2009
[efoods]As part of a training exercise for SWAT personnel, about 70 students, including volunteers from El Dorado and Yorba Linda high schools, joined police officers from the North County SWAT Team at Yorba Linda High School Sunday.
Police posted signs in the immediate area notifying the public of the training exercise. They advised nearby residents they would be firing blanks from their weapons, which simulated the sounds of gunfire and noise-flash devices.
The North County SWAT team is comprised of about 50 officers from the Brea, La Habra, Placentia, Fullerton, La Palma and Cal State Fullerton police departments.

I've done a little. They are in the business of providing a service and 1) generating revenue to cover the expenses of the program(s) and 2) retaining capital to allow for growth to broaden and / or deepen the level of those services. Clearly, there are crummy people in some non-profits, and use that umbrella to pay exorbitant salaries, skim cash, etc. But as far as "non profit" is concerned they don't have equity owners and distribute earnings to those owners. There are a whole lot of great non-profits that do great things for all sorts of people. You should get out and meet some of them.
I take GREAT exception to the claim that "Saying non-profits are not about profits is the stupidest thing posted in years"-- I've seen some really stupid things just in the past few months-- so if that's the worst "in years" I'd be surprised. Especially since it's true. I was just trying to point out something of which you seem unaware, "There are many charter schools that are run by non-profit organizations (and others that are for profit)."
Come on James you have to do more research than read one article. Any Charter school coming up now are in the business of making money. You can't believe that they have decided "Oh the students need help" lets start our own school and save them so that they can be successful". Millions of dollars are about to change hands at the expense of the students who attend charter schools and when you decide to leave a job making $60,000 a year to one that makes $350,000 a year because you now own your own charter school that my friend is for profit.

Why the Reckless Republicans WinPosted on Apr 1, 2011By Joe Conason Scarcely any news story induces sleep as swiftly and surely as congressional budget negotiations—a topic that features politicians bickering loudly over huge dollar amounts that lack meaning for most people, while their public posturing reflects little of what is actually going on in the back channels. But it is also the story of a Republican minority within a minority that is getting its way because nobody else in Washington is reckless enough to promote a government shutdown. Reckless is the proper way to describe the Republicans' position, because their demands clearly have so little to do with real fiscal and economic responsibility—and so much to do with satisfying the most extreme elements in their base. How much does zeroing out the Corporation for Public Broadcasting or Planned Parenthood accomplish in terms of budgetary restraint for the future? Why is slashing the Environmental Protection Agency budget (at a time when the EPA is preoccupied with protecting us from Japanese radiation) promoted as a top fiscal priority? And what makes the Republicans insist that they must win those specific cuts in order to reach an overall budget agreement—even after the Democrats have come so far toward their numbers? As Robert Greenstein of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has demonstrated—with startling graphs that can be found on his organization's website at http://www.cbpp.org/—the Democratic position on cutting this year's budget has shifted markedly toward meeting Republican numbers over the past several weeks. Advertisement Indeed, at the moment, President Obama seems to be willing to accept additional cuts of $23 billion in his own proposed 2011 budget. That would mean overall cuts of $74 billion, which, as Greenstein notes, is precisely the amount that House Republican leaders agreed to pass in early February. But the Republicans have escalated their demands significantly over the past two months, reflecting the Tea Party slogan of "no compromise" with the president and the Democrats. It is safe to assume that House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell want to make a budget deal, insofar as they have tried to do so over the past several months. But unlike their Democratic counterparts, the Republicans rarely stint in pushing toward their ideological goals, regardless of the potential problems that their intransigence may create. This partisan habit, developed over the past decade or so, is now putting the country's future in danger. In this instance, Boehner, who certainly knows better than to risk a shutdown, is being propelled by freshman members who are even more right-wing than he is (and by his ambitious second, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor). But Boehner also knows that the right flank of his party will be almost impossible to satisfy—which is why a shutdown remains a real risk. So how risky is shutting down the government? Mark Zandi, the respected Moody's Analytics economist who advised the McCain-Palin presidential campaign two years ago, says that closing down the government for two weeks or more could sufficiently undermine consumer confidence to send the economy back into recession. The last shutdown, during the winter of 1995, lasted for nearly three weeks. No doubt Zandi is right to worry—and a shutdown might well do even more lasting damage to our economic prospects. But withdrawing tens of billions in federal dollars right now is certain to do grave harm to the economy, as well. Preventing the worst by capitulating to the tea party may be almost as damaging to the country as a shutdown itself. And of course the ideologues won't be satisfied anyway. © 2011 Creators.com New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page. Still having problems? Let us know.

By Sarastro, April 3, 2011 at 1:37 pm Link to this comment We missed a golden opportunity for want of true, strong leader. The big banks should have been allowed to go down and be dissolved - lose their capital, everything and go into liquidation. The government could have taken the side of the homeowners for alot less money and made the country immediately invigorated. AS was said at the time, it would have been cheaper for the gov't to assume and negotiate all the mortgages - and it would have sent a strong message that this fraud would not be tolerated or rewarded. And that message would have reverberated thru all the problems we have had since then, including prosecution of war crimes by the Bush Crime Family.

With the election call just about a week old, candidates in both Battlefords-Lloydminster and Vegreville-Wainwright constituencies are still shifting into gear.

Only one ownership bid put forth to AJHL – and it's local.
You reap what you sow. And that's certainly the case for Donna Arie.
William Munsey, Green Party of Canada candidate for Vegreville-Wainwright, has already been through one federal election and he said he knows his chances of beating incumbent Leon Benoit are still slim.
The 2011 federal election will be the first time Glenn Tait, NDP candidate for Battlefords-Lloydminster, has been a candidate for the riding, but he's no stranger to politics.
Community Futures Lloydminster and Region is receiving praise for reaching out to entrepreneurs and "would be" business people.
Leon Benoit has set up his campaign office in Lloydminster, but for the most part, he'll be bringing his campaign office to constituents, not the other way around.
Simply put, Doug Gilby had a good year at the 2011 Lloydminster Heavy Crude Open Bonspiel.

Dancing On Ice winner Sam Attwater revealed that he does not want to be seen as a baddie.
The 24-year-old declared his love for dancing partner Brianne Delcourt in a magazine interview but quickly announced they had split.
The pair were then accused of faking a romance to help Sam progress in the competition.
Attwater told Now magazine: "After it came out that we'd broken up I felt like I was being punished when I hadn't done anything wrong.
"All I was trying to do was go out and entertain people on a Sunday night and I was being painted as a terrible person."
Brianne and Sam are now good friends and he says you never know what the future holds.
He said: "I know we'll always be friends and I'm going to visit her in Canada after the tour.
"Who knows what's going to happen?
"I could end up with Kerry Katona - although having said that, as much as I love her, she's just too loud for me."

Corrupt councillors face dismissal
THE jobs of 125 ANC councillors are on the line after the ruling party was told they were elected under dodgy circumstances.
A task team headed by former home affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has recommended that 125 ANC councillors undergo a fresh selection process and resign should they not be re-nominated as candidates by the party's branches.
The team was appointed by the party's national executive committee (NEC) to investigate allegations of irregularities and manipulation of ANC candidate lists for local government elections last year.
Should the ANC accept recommendations that the councillors be fired, a number of by-elections could be held.
The team's report was presented at the NEC meeting, that started on Friday at St Georges Hotel, south of Pretoria.
The 125 were pointed out country-wide where the team found there had been "gross violation of the guidelines, internal nomination and selection process".
"The disputes that were investigated by the task team are from 419 wards. These cover matters pertaining to alleged irregularities, manipulations as well as organisational matters. Of the 419 the task team has recommended that in 125 wards ANC processes should be redone.
"Where the incumbent councillor is nominated again through such a process they should remain in office. Where the incumbent councillor is not re-nominated through the process, it is recommend that (they) be asked to resign and a by-election be held," said the report.
The report warned that if the ANC failed to follow the recommendations, the party's leadership risked being seen to be endorsing such wrongful acts.
Most damning in the report is the finding that some councillors were not even ANC members at the time of their nomination as candidates.
"The task team came across instances of candidates only joining the ANC after being nominated. In certain instances the candidates, now incumbent councillors, have shockingly little knowledge of the ANC.
The investigation came after the ANC received complaints from structures about manipulation of lists by either local, regional or provincial leaders.
How is this possible - with so many ANC cadres fighting with each other to get a job, it should not be possible for outsiders to fraudulently get on the list. Maybe this is a good old fashioned witch hunt?Report Abuse
The ANC is worse than Cope! They can't even organise a list of members without something fishy going on. I couldn't believe how they had wrangled this. The people who had their identities stolen and fraudulently put onto the membership list should sue.Report Abuse
The ANC alwayz goes after small fish. Mshosholozi is a dodgy President but continues to fart in the Onion buildings.Report Abuse
I care swear the so called corrupt officials all support the "forces of change", is this findings convenient in order to weaken the challenge to Zuma's second term? Only time will tell!!!Report Abuse
These issues have killed the ANC and in return ANC should fire these corrupt people periodReport Abuse
Dismiss all of them including Nkandlaville Showerhead illiterate Mshini Wam Zuma. I think they are corrupt because of the brainless Showerhead.Report Abuse
Who are these idiots try to fool because they again want to elect their own people there.Report Abuse

On August 14, 1947 Pakistan transited from the British colonial to the American neo-colonial domination. The aim of the Great Power is to control the minds of men and gain the allegiance of the leaders of underdeveloped nations, through economic domination and other devices.
The great poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz lamented:
Yeh dagh-dar Ujala yeh shab-gazeeda sahar
Woh intizar tha jisska yeh who sahar tou nahin
And so it turned out. The working people remained oppressed and exploited.
Soon after independence, the beneficiary elite of the British period, which became the ruling elite of Pakistan, chose to preserve their erstwhile vested interests and authority. To perpetuate their dominance over the people, they chose not to change the system of governance of the British period. They also chose the U.S. as their imperial hegemonic master in place of the British.
For sixty-five years, the poor and the down people have resisted the unjust rule of one regime after another – 18 'elected' prime ministers and four military dictators. Passive resistance through non-cooperation with the apparatus of the state was their weapon, the only one they knew in the absence of a revolutionary avan guard. They rarely helped the police in preventing crime or coming forward to appear as witness in the courts of law. They avoided paying government dues, did not consider government property to be publicly owned, indeed destroyed state assets whenever possible. They produced minimum possible for the scant remuneration they received.
In the end the people succeeded in bringing down the totally undemocratic, British-designed notorious bureaucratic steel framework of governance, the principal instrument of domination and exploitation.
Rogue elements among the rich and the poor, elected or unelected, officials or otherwise are today free to violate the laws, rules and regulations on the statute books. Killers, plunderers, kidnappers, bank robbers, car and purse snatchers, land grabbers and corrupt elite in high places abound. For the last two years, the executive is blatantly defying the Supreme Court. One wonders in what form the sovereign nature of the constitutional authority is still intact.
The observations of the Chief Justice of Pakistan show that the law and order situation in Baluchistan is serious. The border area of the land of the Pakhtuns presents a grim scenario for national security. The rural areas of Sindh are lawless. The road traffic movement at night is not without danger. The scions of once powerful landed aristocracy of Sindh cannot step out of the house without a heavy armed escort.
Few months ago, the Lyari area of Karachi erupted and fought the first urban class-war of Pakistan. With the support of the population, citizen warriors, called miscreants, who live on recoveries from the rich fought a real hot war against the forces of the government which survives on tax collections from those not qualified to be called rich. A week long war between the forces of the rich and the poor took place. Both sides fought with lethal arms. The forces of the government lost. No attempt has yet been made to reassert the authority of the state.
Regime after regime has failed to perform its vital functions such as provision of potable water for drinking, supply of electrical power, providing adequate nourishment and health care, decent housing, running railways network, and acceptable road communication.
The government of the elite by the elite and for the elite has been perpetuated since the establishment of Pakistan. The British imposed system of governance of vesting all executive authority in the civil and military officers had forced the exit of the British rulers. The oppressive system of governance has now blow-backed on the ruling elite of Pakistan and the imperial dominating power, the United States. The British rulers exited from India and now their successors in Pakistan are busy establishing niches in western countries. Many many of them have foreign passports and properties abroad. Hectically they are looting, whatever they can lay hands on, plundering national wealth and transferring it to foreign lands. In 65 years the value of Pakistani rupee has gone down from Rs 3.3 to one U.S. dollar to Rs 92 per U.S. dollar.
The future of any government in Pakistan is big question mark. The only possible way out is the empowerment of the people.

Blast kills 5 in disputed area in northern Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraqi authorities say a car bomb has killed five people and wounded eleven others in the country's north, the second day in a row in which blasts have targeted disputed regions there.
Police officials said the explosion Monday morning was in al-Mouafaqiyah, a village inhabited by families from the Shabak ethnic group. The region near the city of Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad, is claimed by Arabs, Turkmen and Kurds.
The Shabak have their own distinct language and belief system.
Medics in nearby hospital confirmed the casualties. All officials in the two spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details to journalists.
Sunday's attacks left at least eight killed and dozens wounded.

Argh! I'm so angry right now!
I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee and checking out the forums and whatnot, then out of no-where, one of my mom's cats jumps on the table BAM! About a quarter of the cup of coffee spilled all over my iBook.. All over the keyboard.. I immediately shut it off and wiped it down. I let it dry for about 15 minutes or so, then turned it back on. The speakers are crackly sounding, at least the left one is, the right appears fine for now. The keyboard doesn't work at all anymore. The machine in general boots up no problem and appears to still be working I do have Apple Care on it, but I'm pretty sure they don't cover this kind of thing. (Or Acts of God either according to their Terms & Conditions). But anyways, should I pick up a used keyboard off eBay and hope for the best? Or what can I do to minimize repair costs? |

Let it sit and dry for about 24 hours, then see what happens. Either way, turn it off now.

yeah, let it dry out for long enough and it should be fine. i spilled some beer on a keyboard for my pc a long time ago. it stopped working so I gave it to my roommate and bought a new one. A few weeks later we were in his room looking at something and he was using my fully-functional keyboard.

Essential book for indie producers,
By Robert Parsons (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raindance Producers' Lab Lo-To-No Budget Filmmaking (Paperback)
If you make indie movies, or you'd like to, I recommend this book. I've attended a Raindance weekend course as well, and this book will build on what you learn there, or, if you haven't taken a Raindance course, will help you out tremendously.Although this book is written primarilyy for British producers, the information is applicable to Canadians as well (probably for anyone working outside the U.S. industry, actually). It teaches you the business side of the process in some detail, whether you make narrative or documentary films, features or shorts. It is also good for motivation, too. I've forsaken the couch after reading this and am working on a couple of projects I plan to sell this year. So, if you are an indie producer and don't have access to a decent film school, or you need a spark of inspiration, or you're confused by the hundreds of filmmaking books out there and want a good resource, this one is for you.

excellent and important,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Raindance Producers' Lab Lo-To-No Budget Filmmaking (Paperback)
Elliot Grove's book is a must-have even if you haven't attended any of his excellent lectures. This volume is crammed with very practical information, tips and advice from the whole range of film-making experience and from the point of view of someone living and breathing movies. It concentrates on the hands-on approach, the nitty-gritty aspect of film-making for both the novice and fairly experienced. Most of all, it is inspiring and encouraging. With this book, some passion, drive and like-minded colleagues, there is no reason you can't put your ideas to tape/film/digital media... whatever your budget.

Good for Canadian Filmmakers,
By Robert Parsons (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raindance Producers' Lab Lo-To-No Budget Filmmaking (Paperback)
Although the book was written for people trying to make movies in the U.K., this book is also good for Canadians because the U.K. film industry is similar to the Canadian one in terms of how things work. Most of the books I've read on filmmaking are from the U.S., but because the industry there is different from the rest of the world, the Raindance book covers things American filmmakers never have to face.Any producer, director, or writer should have this book on their desk as a ready reference. This book details the nuts and bolts of producing, from development to submitting to festivals. |

Dulce: Desserts in the Latin-American Tradition
Dulce: Desserts in the Latin-American Tradition
by Jose Luis Flores with Laura Zimmerman Maye
Reviewed by
Sharon Kebschull Barrett
| Released: May 4, 2010
Publisher: Rizzoli (266 pages)
Would you like some sugar with your sugar? If so,
is the book for you. This is a book that more than lives up to its name.
Written by the pastry chef for two of Douglas Rodriguez's restaurants,
gives bakers classic Latin-American desserts and interesting variations of them, such as a classic
tres leches
cake and another flavored with coffee and topped with a chocolate-kirsch sauce. Like so many of the recipes in the book, the ingredient list for the coffee cake is not for the faint of heart (or the clogged of arteries). Granted, the recipe serves 18 to 24 people. But with 10 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 2 cans evaporated milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups cream, 1 cup coffee liqueur, and a sauce that uses 2 cups of chocolate chips and another cup of cream, you've only just begun. Yes, you could stop there, but the recommended accompaniments include cherry ice cream (milk, cream, sugar, cherries) and chocolate
(butter, sugar, corn syrup).
It does help to consider the portion sizes when your eyes start to bug out at the ingredient lists. Most of the flans and puddings serve 8 to 12 people; a chocolate mousse with rum serves 16. Still, 18 brownies (from a 9-by-13-inch pan) seems like a skimpy yield from nearly 2 pounds of chocolate, 1 pound of butter, 10 eggs, and 3 cups of sugar. The
and fruit desserts come, toward the end of the book, as a welcome change.
Of course, all those ingredients and huge servings could be worth it if the food tastes great. As long as
suits you, the recipes generally will satisfy.
The author's (and the region's) serious sweet tooth shows in nearly every recipe. Even a quinoa pudding, which boasts the nutritional value of high protein and calcium, will set your teeth to aching with evaporated milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk—and some sugar for good measure. Although it took significantly longer to thicken than the 8 to 10 minutes the recipe specifies, the pudding did prove tasty in small portions.
Then there's the recipe for
dulce de leche.
This, too, produces an intensely sweet caramel, but it skips the can of sweetened condensed milk most recipes use for a from-scratch version.Milk, sugar, vanilla, and corn syrup bubble for up to three hours to produce a thick, golden sauce. Unfortunately, a cook needs to be close by for the entire three hours, stirring often to keep the mixture from scorching, but patience has its rewards. On low heat, carefully watched, the
dulce de leche
produces an intense filling for
, classic butter cookie sandwiches.
A cheese flan, reminiscent of cheesecake, took far less time and effort. Creamy and less eggy than standard flans, this version, with cream cheese and the ubiquitous sweetened condensed milk (and, for some reason, a extra tablespoon of sugar to go with the sweet milk), requires making the usual caramel for flan, but the rest of the ingredients need just a quick whirl in a blender. As tested, the recipe made more caramel than necessary, but with some cream, the leftovers made a great caramel sauce.
A simple, quick
of pineapple offers the unusual combination of smoked paprika, vanilla, and cardamom; again, it is tongue-twistingly sweet. The lime ice cream inspired by a drink called "To Die Dreaming" packs a powerful lime punch, although it is more sherbet than ice cream, with ¼ cup cream to 2 ½ cups milk.
The recipe that flopped in testing was, oddly, that pictured on the book's cover:
with a chocolate dipping sauce. Again, the sauce made far more than necessary, but, spiked with allspice, cloves, and vanilla, it made great leftovers for ice cream or hot chocolate. The bigger problem was with the
themselves, which start out like a
paste batter (in which flour is cooked in butter and water in a saucepan). Unlike
paste, the recipe calls for no eggs, so a cook is left with an extremely stiff batter to pipe through a pastry tip into hot oil. Even if your hands can push the dough out, the lack of eggs means the
don't puff during frying, and don't have much flavor, even when rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mix.
Some of the recipes needed a tighter copyedit. For example, some of the
recipes refer to another recipe that explains the freezing process, but two leave out those details. Walnut cookies are made as drop cookies, but then the recipe talks, without explanation, about pre-rolling the dough, freezing it, and cutting it into shapes. The quinoa pudding makes no mention of the need to rinse quinoa thoroughly before using, though a quinoa bread pudding recipe does. And oatmeal guava bars call for an "11-by-7-inch half-sheet pan" that presumably should be an 11-by-17-inch pan (it would be hard to fit cookies with the four sticks of butter used here into an 11-by-7 pan).
Those are troubles that will discourage a brand-new baker. For discerning bakers, though,
offers a reasonable introduction to Latin-American sweets.

Private industry and international maritime bodies have consistently advised against arming the crews on ships for a variety of reasons. Foremost is the concern that pirates would not be deterred by armed crews; the pirates would simply escalate their own use of force and many more people would get hurt.
In addition, small arms and light weapons (including assault rifles) may do little to deter or stop a boarding attempt, especially if crews are untrained in the safe and appropriate use of firearms or a boarding takes place while there is an insufficient watch.
Finally, there are always concerns that weapons on ships could be misused, or used for the wrong purposes. For more information, I would refer you to the International Maritime Bureau, which maintains a very informative Web site.
Under international regulations, merchant vessels are generally required to travel unarmed and, in fact, would be denied entry into some ports if they were armed. For the most part, these regulations make sense. Consider the thousands of cargo ships that enter U.S. ports every year after long voyages. Would we want them to be heavily armed?
This is not to say that the commercial shipping industry should not be more proactive in better protecting itself. While some owners have invested in alarm systems, close-circuit television, electric fences, and even an occasional guard to counter the threat to their vessels, unfortunately many have done little aside from being prepared to pay ransoms which only perpetuate the cycle of violence.
Instead, ship owners' associations and seamen's unions, both of which hitherto have limited their collective action to appeals for someone to "do something," would do well to spend their energies developing, in consultation with security professionals, minimum safety and security protocols for their activities in these dangerous waters.
Port security also needs to be beefed up as it is increasingly apparent that the pirates are not mere opportunists, but coordinate their attacks on the basis of intelligence obtained from a worldwide network of informants. And while the question of placing armed personnel aboard commercial shipping is a complex one, the international shipping industry might find that it is far more economical to pool their resources and arrange escorts-which need not necessarily be on the same vessels they are protecting-via agreed-upon sea lanes through the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. This might be better than to sail individually around the Cape of Good Hope, as some have already begun to do.
The idea of using private security contractors, while not without its detractors, has received a great deal of support from high-ranking U.S. and other military officers.

While most people are thrilled with the flexibility provided by the Quick Styles and seem to really like the new default look, I am frequently asked about adjusting the space on the standard paragraph in a document. Some people prefer a tighter spacing than we offer by default and some folks don't like the spacing after the paragraph. The easiest way to adjust the spacing used for the Normal paragraphs in your document is to make the changes you want in the Format Paragraph dialog box and then click the Default button located at the bottom of the dialog.
Once you've updated the various settings to give you a look that you like (by changing the theme, the fonts, the colors, the default spacing for your Normal paragraph and so on), you can store that combination to be used for all of your new documents by selecting the Set as Default command from the bottom of the Change Styles gallery as shown below.
And for those who miss the old-fashioned style control, you can add it to the QAT by using the Customize tab of the Word options dialog. For those who were wondering, the Normal style is the style that Word applies to all paragraphs when they are first created. So in a document with no other styles, all paragraphs are reported as Normal.

Stuart - I would really like to see the ability to add List Styles to either the Quick Styles or the Styles Window (task pane) Dawn Crosier
List styles are important enough that they have their own gallery -- the multilevel list button next to the traditional bullet and numbering pair. A list style is either independent of paragraph formatting (except for indents) or is associated with specific paragraph styles (which can be shown in the UI as you desire).
Is there some way i can make do the work that i want it to do? The styles, bullets and numbering seem uncontrollable. For instance, i updated the TOC in my document and the entire document's bullets and numbering got messed up. I spent a lot of time trying to set the styles, bullets and numbering and when i open the document next time, some of the bullets have disappeared and some styles have changed. It sucks when i have to waste so much time to do a simple document. Any links to how this can be controlled. I am using word 2007.
Hi Venkat - What build of Word 2007 are you using? Can you provide the affected file? - Jonathan
Is there any way that my documents will automatically open to default with out me having to change it by highlighting and formatting. I know there is a "Clear formatting" function, but is there a way any document recieved and opened will automatically be opened as default?!
Another issue--
Cross-reference fields in footnotes that are set to show above/below references do not show "above" or "below" but the entire caption instead. Above/below fields work, however, when they are NOT in footnotes. I have selected the incongruous fields (in gray) in the screenshot. See www.francispickering.com/footnote.png
Note that the field codes in the body and the footnote are identical, and the problem only affects the above/below option (the screenshot shows all 5 "Insert reference to" options; the first 4 are fine.)
Hi Nelly - There is unfortunately not a way to do what you describe. What type of custom default would you like all of the documents you open to reflect? Is this to ease reading? If so, does Reading Mode help at all? -Jonathan
Thanks again Francis. I've reported this to the necessary parties. -Jonathan
Hello, I was trying out the new word 2007 and was wondering why the default equation keyboard shortcuts were gone. For example pressing Ctrl+f would give you a fraction, Ctrl+t:s would give you a summation. I have found that it is much harder in this new version to use \sum and \int for those features. Is it possible to implement or provide an addon feature for the short-cut keys for the old style equation editor again?
Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the response. I think I am using MS Word 2007 RTM version. I have faced similar problems in Word 2003 too. I can give a copy of that file i guess. I actually removed the TOC and recreated and that problem of updating TOC got resolved. But i still have othe problems where i try to include create a new bullet point or a numbered statement, the whole document will be filled refreshed with every statement being made a bulleted statement or a numbered list. I could send you a file with the problem. Please do let me know how i should send that to you. Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Thanks
Hi Harry - Jennifer Michelstein is the program manager that worked on equations and is currently taking some much deserved time off. I've passed along your question for Jen to field when she gets back. Sorry for the delay - Jonathan
Hmmm...that's really interesting as I'm evaluating Office 2007 for our company! Is there also a way to set a default style during an unattended deployment? To figure this out I tried to record a macro when setting the default but nothing was recorded. Also I cannot just distribute a customized normal.dotm since autotext entries must be migrated from the Word 2000 installations to the new normal.dotm. Is there a way to migrate the old normal.dots while automatically setting a default style?
I'm one of those blue background fanatics and I've tried getting the blue background as default. I've made a custom template that gives me a blue background and white text, and tried saving this as my default "Style" but every time I open a new file I still have to choose my background color. It is only one button click, but it is frustrating that I can't get the program to open up with the background I want. Is there a way to do this?
You would need to open the Normal.dotm file and set the background there. The background is not saved as part of the theme in Word 2007. You could also set your system window colors to be white on blue, which would then apply to the default Word document (which uses the standard Windows window colors for text and background).
as to both migrating AutoText entries and setting defaults in the new Normal.dotm, one approach is to deplay a Normal.dotm with the properties that you want it to have (including the default style set) and then programatically move the autotext entries. Normal.dot is kept intact and still available after the install. Alternatively you could force the migration of Normal.dot to Normal.dotm and then programatically open that file and set the theme via activedocument.ApplyQuickFormatSet(" "). note that many autotext behaviors have changed so you may wish to reimplement your solutions using the newer UI and methods.

---+++ Future Work * Because of pointer tagging, small datatypes (isSmallFamily) begin with constructor tag 1, the rest with tag 0. We may be able to make small constructors start with 0 too without runtime cost. In that case, case analysis of small data types would presumably get faster (because a 0-test is said to be faster than other tests). * Currently, the tag-bits of pointers to big datatypes are only used for evaluatedness. We could use them for the few most common constructors instead. Which constructors are most common is of course again a job for HPC. ---+++ Interesting flags -ddump-to-file ---+++ POI's Looks like we could actually implement everything as a source-to-source transformation...

An advantage of building the tree outside, is that you don't have to "mess about" in GHC (being HPC group) and maybe we can even unsafePeformIO the tree into any place in GHC (0CUBS group). However, this means you have to save a tree to a file (serialization) and you cannot easily edit certain measurements (ticks). The first approach simply requires counting information to be "magic comments", these can be changed by the developer, but you have to process these comments in GHC to build that tree (every time you recompile). I guess the first is better, but it's good to have alternatives. Maybe later we see that passing the count-tree down to the level we need to be on is too much work, then maybe the second approach would be easier. -- Main.MarkStobbe - 14 Jan 2008 ---+++ Flags After a couple weeks of hacking, we ended up with lots of flags. $ =-fcase-ubs=: Read =caseUBSmap.txt= to pass tick information to mk_switch (code generation). $ =-fscase-ubs=: Static caseUBS flag, used to turn on hpc ticks, but don't generate the hpc infotable and hpc initialization code (previously also used to remove tick information in the code generation step) $ =-ftick-note=: Convert ticks to =Note (!TickNr Int)= in Core and put the information in the !StgAlt for !Stg, no ticks in output. $ =-ftwo-case-zero=: Use alternative code when case-of is used with 2 tags, one of which is 0 (fixing TODO found in GHC code) $ =-fcase-hack=: Do case Unbalanced Binary Search probabilistic optimization in mk_switch, using the !CaseST read from =caseUBSmap.txt=. $ =-fno-stg-ticks=: Static flag, removes ticks from STG, in STG simplifier stage. $ =-fdump-switches=: Static flag, dumps information about switches in the code generation phase. $ ...?: More? Useful things you can do with these flags * Using =-fscase-ubs= and =-ftick-note= together will give you exactly the same binary when compiling, but you'll have tick numbers for the alternatives available up to !Stg. * ... We would like to bring this down to just a couple of flags, each for a specific use-case, proposal (please edit at will): * User compiles her code using =-fhpc= to generate =.?ix= files that can be used for optimization (currently possible) * Then, using =-fcase-ubs= _filename_ the code will be recompiled using the filename with !CaseST information. This flag is a combination of =-fscase-ubs=, =-ftick-note= and =-fcase-hacks= (=-fno-stg-ticks= is not necessary, since tick-note alread takes care of removing the ticks). * We don't need a special case to compile the base-case to measure against, since we managed to do that by removing the ticks as early as possible from Core (before optimiziations). (Hooray!) -- Main.EelcoLempsink - 22 Jan 2008 Ticks are now transformed into =Note (!TickNr Int)= by pattern matching on the specific Hpc Core construct (case+default thing). Next, the notes are propagated through Core. Then, in !CoreToStg the ticknrs are placed in every alternative of the !StgCase. These are later during the conversion between Stg to Cg aggregated into the code generation for the case. Then they are propagated down to the emitSwitch, where they are printed (for now). -- Main.MarkStobbe - 22 Jan 2008 ----+++ TODO * Combine =-fscase-ubs=, =-ftick-note= and =-fcase-hacks= into =-fcase-ubs=. * Let =-fcase-ubs= take a file argument (possible?). * Adapt the code such that ticks will be kept if =-fhpc= is given. * ... ----+++ Related pages [[HpcProfiling][Hpc Profiling]] [[1L][Intermediate Language]]

Tags: the Rising Sun the Lords Portion the Crooked Path Transgression in Jacob Redeemer in Zion
Isa 58:1 "Cry loudly, do not hold back; Raise your voice like a trumpet, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins. Isa 58:6 "Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free, And break every yoke? Isa 58:7 "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry, And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Isa 58:14 Then you will take delight in the LORD, And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." Isa 59:2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear. Isa 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters wickedness. Isa 59:19 So they will fear the name of the LORD from the west And His glory from the rising of the sun, For He will come like a rushing stream, Which the wind of the LORD drives. Isa 59:20 "And a Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob," declares the LORD.

Matriarchal Influence Produces Madness and Foolishness
Tags: Mormon doctrine Scripture Theology Bible
25 I (Solomon) applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness [and] madness: 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. (Eccl 7:25-26) It would have been impossible that the Christian nations, with the Bible in their hands, could have remained to this day servants of servants, and slaves to sin, continually deceiving and being deceived, even by the devil, like Eve of old; had they not been possessed of the effeminate mind like Eve. We are placed by our laws (Roman Civil Code) under the law of the woman. Born Bred and Involved Therein-The Effeminate Mind: Roman Law dictates 8 husbands for one female. The law of God, eight females for one male. We have lost the original excellency and dignity of the masculine mine because of this inbreeding, causing an imbecility of mind, form whence arises sin. The Christian nations (matriarchal) with the Bible in their hands, could not have been the servants and slaves of sin, had not they possessed the effeminate mind like Eve (Adam was not deceived, saith the Lord). The law: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (1 Tim 2:12-14) "For the private families are nunneries of mind: and the evils of a bad government here cannot be calculated. Many sons in their teens are roving about the land like the wild ass's colt, unbridled: these oft times become associates and partners, with pick-pockets, thieves and robbers.
S.O.U.L Class 312 In Search Of Ancient Authentic Torah #78

Tags: Divine Creator Divine Image Torah Bible Class Children of Israel and Noah Universal Redemption
Blessed Is Our Creator!!!
Greetings and Blessings Blessed Souls-Our next program will take place on 10/13/13 starting hopefully at 10:30 AM UNTIL 12:00 HIGH NOON PM HERE ON TURTLE ISLAND AKA = USA = UNITING SOULS ACTUALLY. Our plans are to review Genesis 3:24: 'And having driven out the (Original Man), He stationed at the east of the Garden of Eden the Cherubim and the flame of the twirling sword, to guard the Tree of Life." Wow!!! Not only was Original Man (Adam/Adom) driven out of the Garden of Eden (human being's original habitat) the path back to where he was hewn from was connected to a type of protection instituted (after the first transgression committed by the first two human beings) which at first glance would make it seem impossible until this day to access that physical place within this Blessed Creation. As well, we hope to vibe out on the above verse as well as share Torah Teachings from the Rambam, Chabad plus Breslov Chassidus in addition to anything coming down the pipeline of human discussion some planned some unplanned. Hope you can join us Blessed Souls by calling in live at 347-838-8669 or listen to the archived version. Meanwhile, may the Ane Sofe Baruch Hoo/Infinite Creator Blessed Be He Bless you and your loved ones peacefully and pleasantly!!!!

Tags: YAH IS ONE FOREVER PEACE IS PROMISED WE SHALL REVIVE THE LOVE OF YAH PEACE
The EXPECTATION of the EAST, the WAY of PEACE is the GOSPEL PROMISE the WEST HATES to this day! WHO NOW among us will discern what must NOW be?
Isa 59:8 The WAY OF PEACE THEY KNOW NOT; there is no judgment in their goings: they have made crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace. 9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. Isa 59:15 Yea, TRUTH is HID; and he that departs from EVIL makes himself a prey: and YAH saw it, and HE was displeased that there was NO JUSTICE. 16 And YAH saw that there was NO MAN, and wondered that there was NO INTERCESSOR: therefore HIS ARM brought SALVATION unto HIM; and His RIGHTEOUSNESS sustained Him.17 For He put on RIGHTEOUSNESS as a breastplate, and an helmet of SALVATION upon his head; and He put on the garments of VENGEANCE for clothing, and was clad with ZEAL as a cloak. 18 According to their DEEDS, accordingly He will REPAY, fury to His ADVERSARIES, recompense to His ENEMIES; to the NATIONS he will repay RECOMPENSE. 19 So shall they REVERE the NAME of the LORD from the WEST, and will give GLORY unto HIM in the RISING OF THE SUN. When the ENEMY shall come in like a FLOOD, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a STANDARD against him. 20 And the DELIVERER shall come out of ZION, and unto them that TURN FROM TRANSGRESSION in Yacob, says YAH! Discern this. ROME could NOT receive a FAITH whose PRIME EXPECTATION was the REVIVAL of KURDISTAN and the return of the SHAHSHANSHAH!!
The Trap of OFFENCE
by Consumed Radio in Christianity
Tags: bible study Jesus Christ encouragement Holy Spirit ministry
Tune in Tuesday @ 7pm to Consumed Radio
An offense is Satan's trap to hold you back from God's blessings in your life. Tune in to get an understanding of the vicious trap that satan uses to keep you from your joy.
The Dictionary defines offense as: a violation, transgression, to hurt or cause pain, to cause to fall into a sinful state.
The "spirit of offense" chokes off ordinary conversation. It chokes off benefit of the doubt. It chokes off forgiveness. It chokes off tolerance. It denies human imperfection, and expects a simple, loving person to be precise and mechanical while trying to express sincerity. It assumes the worst. It ignores the obvious intention and digs for something ugly. It allows common every day words to be misconstrued and implicated as the offender of rights. I believe it is the most vicious problem in our society today, and that it nourishes an attitude of dissatisfaction with life, especially for those who choose to carry it around like a badge of honor that reads, "Indignant, and rightfully so." So easily offended and never seeing that the problem is within them, but most often they would rather place the blame on someone, anyone else, rather than accept responsibility and acknowledge that it is their choice to be offended.
An offense is Satan's trap to hold you back from God's blessings in your life.
All Other Ground is Sinking Sand; Persecutions Endured
Tags: Mormon doctrine scripture Bible Truth
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 16 Cursed are all those that shall lift up the heel against mine anointed, saith the Lord, and cry they have sinned when they have not sinned before me, saith the Lord, but have done that which was meet in mine eyes, and which I commanded them. 17 But those who cry transgression do it because they are the servants of sin, and are the children of disobedience themselves. 18 And those who swear falsely against my servants, that they might bring them into bondage and death-- 19 Wo unto them; because they have offended my little ones they shall be severed from the ordinances of mine house. 20 Their basket shall not be full, their houses and their barns shall perish, and they themselves shall be despised by those that flattered them. 21 They shall not have right to the priesthood, nor their posterity after them from generation to generation. 22 It had been better for them that a millstone had been hanged about their necks, and they drowned in the depth of the sea. 23 Wo unto all those that discomfort my people, and drive, and murder, and testify against them, saith the Lord of Hosts; a generation of vipers shall not escape the damnation of hell. (D&C 121:16-23)

Have you ever seen a family where the father has a problem with uncontrollable anger, his son seems to have been 'handed it', and the grandpa had the same problem? Or have you noticed that not only do you suffer from something such as persistent irrational fears or depression, but your mother and her father also suffered from it as well? There are many people today who are living under bondage that the sins of their forefathers has brought them under.Exodus 34:7, "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation."Lamentations 5:7, "Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne (been punished for) their iniquities."Tune in at 630pm This evening

Comeback night
Powers strokes two walk-off doubles
Zach Powers remembers what it was like to be at the Creston High School baseball games as a youngster.
"I remember looking up to all of the high school players when I was that age, and wanted to be someone they could look up to, too," the senior catcher said Tuesday night after a home doubleheader against Atlantic.
Powers did well in getting the youngsters to look up to him on Little League Recognition Night at Panther Field, delivering walk-off RBI doubles in both games to cap the 9-8 and 6-5 victories.

Navi who was away from for a month on a much needed vacation is still reeling under his holiday excitement. So, how did Navi get this break? "My character Agam in Amrit Manthan was shown to be going to London for vacation and also the makers of the show changed the track a bit and focused on other characters of the show."
Navi was not actually on a one month break and was back in Mumbai after just two weeks. "I was back in Mumbai on the 8th April to re-start the shoot for Amrit Manthan. However, I was kept me on hold and was told that they will call me when they need me for the shoot. If I would have known this earlier, I would have delayed my coming back and spent more time with my family back home. I also would have done a Punjabi film for which the shoot schedule is just one month. I had couple of offers in hand and if I would have known that this break would be so long I would have easily completed one film" says Navi who has done more than 300 music videos and is a popular face as a hero in Punjabi films.
His long leave however had the gossip mills buzzing. When his break was announced many said that there are problems with the show, "I heard people talking that the show is going off-air. They also said that since I am taking a break I will am quitting the show, getting replaced� I have heard all kind of things! But why would I want to quit when I got to do so many different things in the show� there was so much of character variation. I got to try different get-ups starting from positive to negative, my character also became a lalooram in between."
Navi who has all his family, relatives and close friends in Punjab says he had a whale of a time during his holiday, "Even as my character Agam was shown as going to London in the show, in real life too I went to London for one week to meet my extended family. This was our first family outing to London and we met all our relatives and also did a lot of sight-seeing."
However, it is his time he spent in Punjab that Navi remembers the most as he says, "Rest of the days, I was at my home in Noor Mahal, near Jallandhar in Punjab. I met all my cousins and friends who I was missing. Every moment spent with them was real fun! I am a reserved guy by nature and so have very limited number of friends. My inner circle of friends comprised of only 5 -6 friends who I am very close to."
Back in Mumbai he misses quite a few things from back home, "I miss Punjab itself the most. I also miss my family, my cousins and friends. I miss the greenery because here you get to see only buildings all around. And most of all I miss the food at home. I miss the Sarson ka Saag with Makke ki Roti made by my mom. I have tried it elsewhere but I have never liked it except the one made by my mom. That is what I had the entire week that I was at home in Punjab."
