I have two daughters that have attended or are currently attending MCHL. Prior to enrolling them here, they attended different Montessori schools in the area. I had grown frustrated with the poor management at their previous school and the teachers at that school spoke very highly of MCHL. So I took a tour and was impressed with what I observed. It feels like a real school, just on a smaller more intimate scale. Ditto what other parents have said - excellent teachers and support staff. It will be hard to leave when it's time - the staff really become like extended family.
Our daughter joined MCHL when she was 3 1/2 and left the summer before kindergarten. MCHL was amazing from the minute we walked in and remained that way the whole time. It had the best of academics and behavior management plus some great teachers. We can't wait to enroll our second child in MCHL!
I checked out all the schools in the area within the Ashburn and Sterling area wanting to find a place that meets our my needs. As a Registered Nurse I feel my husband and I found the perfect place. Caring, nurturing, clean and safe,.. this place offers my daughter an environment that meets her needs as well as our own. She began in the toddler group and our second daughter is in the infant one day class and loving it. The teacher's as well as the auxiliary staff are not only informative but show a truly caring way. I have gone back on occasion when I have forgotten something and found the teacher's down at the child's level on the floor. The classrooms are organized, and offer the child a quiet yet directed fun place to learn and enjoy life.
This is a great school! The teachers are very caring there, it is like a family. Almost all teachers know each child. The teacher turn over rate is very very low in this school that a lot of teachers there have worked for more than 10 years at the same school. The children in this school are so much happier, more active, better behaved and polite. They learn in a fun way with no pressure where they become self-motived learners. Unlike some 'very academic focused' schools where even preschoolers have homeworks, all studyings are done at school, but my son is well prepared academically even compared with children who are assigned homeworks everyday. His interests in reading and learning are very strong. Most importantly all children are nice there, the whole school is such a pleasant place to be in.

Views of Suffolk, Orford C. Stanfield A.R.A., engraved by E. Findon
Crabbe's Life and Poems Vol.111 John Murra 1834
Pluralism and Patronage and Politics in the 18th Century Church
It must be stressed that Crabbe's pluralism and absenteeism were completely normal in the worldly Anglican church of the time. Characters in the novels of Jane Austen discuss whether to enter the army, the law or the church. It was a career option, not a vocation. Success depended on patronage, not piety. Since many livings yielded very little, pluralism was often a necessity. In over half the parishes in the land the place of the absent rector was taken by a curate. Theoretically, academic qualifications were required before ordination. Crabbe's name was entered on the boards of Trinity College, Cambridge, which still claims him as one of its distinguished alumni, by his friend the Bishop of Landaff, so that he would be awarded a degree after a certain number of terms without ever having to attend the university. If, as in Crabbe's case, this took too long, it was possible to award a 'Lambeth' degree, which involved only a two hour examination.
The Bishop of Landaff, Dr Watson, offers an interesting example. He was Bishop of Landaff for 34 years without ever living in Landaff, held 16 other benefices, and exchanged his Cambridge chair of Chemistry for a chair in Divinity because it paid more. Yet Dr Watson was not personally corrupt, he believed sincerely in inculcating the 'principles of piety, of benevolence and of self-government'. He agitated for church reform and was thus regarded as politically dangerous. It would be equally unfair to regard Crabb's absenteeism and pluralism as evidence of insincerity or indolence. Most of the evidence shows him to have been a sincere Christian and, by the standards of the time, a reasonably conscientious clergyman.(1)

Crabbe's Life and Poems Vol. 111 John Murray 1834
This is clearly the building on which Stanfield based his illustration for the Poems, but it seems likely that Ducking, or Parham Hall was another, similar, moated manor house, later rebuilt.
During the thirteen years he spent in Suffolk Crabbe pursued the same activities as in Leicestershire: botany, entomology, geology. He taught himself French and Italian, wrote three novels which he later destroyed and began to compose The Parish Register. He was apparently a popular preacher to large congregations. 'In the pulpit he was entirely unaffected -read his sermon with earnestness, and in a voice and manner ... particularly affecting ...'(2)
Suffolk Views, Woodbridge C. Stanfield A.R.A., engraved by E. Findon
Crabbe's Life and Poems Vol. 1V John Murray 1834
In March 1796 the Crabbe's third son, Edmund, died aged six. Crabbe wrote to Edmund Cartwright: 'your godson was suddenly taken from us by a severe and (to me) unknown disease ... his mother has suffered too much in her mind and from too many causes not to escape the effects of mental distress on the female frame: she bore much, and with hope and a conscientious discharge of her duty ... she combated the too evident progress of those nervous disorders which render life so grievous to be born' (3)
Sarah Crabbe had endured the death of four of her six children. There was nothing unusual in this, but the fact that it was commonplace did not necessarily make it less devastating. This death was the more painful because this child had survived longer. Crabbe hoped that Sarah would recover from her depression, but she did not. 'The loss of this child was so severely felt by my mother, that it caused a nervous disorder from which she never entirely recovered'. During the rest of her life she was subject to increasingly extreme manic-depressive mood swings, 'during the hotter months of almost every year, she was oppressed by the deepest dejection of spirits I ever witnessed ... there were long intervals in which, if her spirits were a little too high, the relief to herself and others was great in deed.'(4) Crabbe's most recent biographer, Neil Powell, believes these mood swings may have been caused by opium, which was commonly prescribed at the time and which Crabbe himself took for many years.

Crabbe's Life and Poems Vol.V John Murray 1834
Pretyman's Edict
In July 1800 Dr George Pretyman, Bishop of Lincoln indicated to the non resident clergymen in his Diocese that he expected them to return to their livings. Since Pretyman himself was also Dean of St Paul's, a position not entirely compatible with a northern bishopric, he did not provide a very good example. Crabbe's Suffolk patron, Dudley North, used his influence to prolong Crabbe's stay in Suffolk for a further four years, but in 1805 the family went back to Leicestershire.

"I really am living the dream and returning to the UK, whatever the reaction, really tops its off. It has been a whirlwind year or so really but I can't think of a better way to top it off than with this tour and getting to wrestle for TNA in front of my hometown crowd. It might be a cliché but it really is a dream come true, I have wanted to be a wrestler for so long and now being able to do it, is just amazing."
- Rockstar Spud talks about being on Impact Wrestling in England
While his character is said to be from the Sudan, the guy that portrayed Abdullah the Butcher was actually from Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Another interesting name that is being thrown around as a candidate to join Jeff Jarrett in his new wrestling promotion is Alex Shelley, who has been making a name for himself in New Japan over the last year. The two worked together in TNA, and Shelley might be enticed to return to work in the USA.
Alex Shelley revealed how close he is to AJ Styles, whom he calls an older brother, by revealing that the Phenomenal One helped him out tremendously with his career.
Pictures surfaced online of TNA stars Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin smoking pot at a party.

No 1: D minor: Andante

Dein Schwert, wie ist's von Blut so rot? Edward, Edward!
Dein Schwert wie ist's von Blut so rot, und gehst so traurig her? – O!
O, ich hab' geschlagen meinen Geier todt, Mutter, Mutter!
O, ich hab' geschlagen meinen Geier todt, und keinen hab' ich wie er – O!

Why does your Brand sae drop wie blude, and why sae sad gang ye, O?
O, I hae kill'd my hawk, sae gude, mither, mither,
O, I hae kill'd my hawk, sae gude, and I had nae mehr but he, O
Rather, Brahms's designation indicates a freer relation, an allusion to these words, enabling the piano to capture the contrast between the mother's questioning (in the opening 'Andante') and the son's response ('poco più moto'), without the rigid poetic repetitions. Furthermore, Brahms creates a rounded musical form, with development in the major key and varied reprise, which, though it cannot mirror the mounting tension of the relentless questioning, revelations and final curse of the son—'the curse of hell fraie me sall ye bare … sic counsels ye gave to me, O!'—enables a more powerful musical form to be built. The fragmenting reprise of the opening question is perhaps intended as an ironic reflection on it by the composer—his means of communicating the real truth. With its bleak bare intervals, its stark rhythmic repetitions, its developmental reiterations of the son's response with a relentless triplet accompaniment of orchestral force, and finally its disintegrating reprise, the piece stands as nothing other than an extraordinary tone poem for piano. And, through its similarities to the first movement of the F minor sonata, it makes one sense even more strongly a hidden background to that movement.
No programmatic hints are provided for Ballades 2, 3 and 4, but the intense contrasts of Nos 2 and 3 suggest that more may have been present than the score indicates. In No 2, the reflective opening section, an 'Andante' based on a typically Brahmsian gapped figure (rising F sharp – A – F sharp), yields to an extensive central section at twice the speed ('Allegro non troppo'), with an insistent rhythm rising from mf to ff that recalls the dramatic cumulation of the 'Edward' ballade. Also enclosed is a highly atmospheric 'molto staccato e leggiero' passage before a subtly varied reprise of the opening. Atmospheric keyboard effects are even more evident in No 3. Though titled 'Intermezzo', this is an extraordinary scherzo in 6/8 metre, with the same rhythmic impact as Brahms's very first published piano work, the Scherzo in E flat minor Op 4 of 1851, yet with a much more elusive and dramatic quality, perhaps suggesting a nether world of demons or sprites. The middle section explores high-lying chordal sonorities, then, in contrast, single sounds at the extremes of the keyboard, marked ppp. These dynamic features effect a complete transformation of the opening section when it returns, now marked 'sempre pp molto leggiero'. Such extraordinary writing shows how much Brahms understood his own instrument, and to what extent his style discarded such expressionistic features as he moved, after 1854, to different genres and to a focus on the more formal demands of large-scale chamber and orchestral composition.
Only in No 4 does an attributable style emerge—a Schumannesque song melody and accompaniment alternates with a section of intimate decoration of a slow inner-voice melody (again very Schumann-like) before the varied reprise of both. Now the first section is given an entirely new chordal sequel, while the second, transposed into B minor, is fashioned into a coda with wistful returns of the opening phrase that gradually motion the music towards its eventual serene close in the major key of B.

Friedrich Christian Anton Lang was born December 5, 1890 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary (now Austria). Initially, he studied to become an architect, like his father, but figured out rather quickly that his real passion was in art. By 1913, Lang was living in Paris, painting postcards, drawing cartoons, and designing fashion. At the outbreak of World War I, he returned to Vienna and served in the Austrian army. After a number of injuries, he was discharged. Immediately, he left for Berlin and began making movies.
Lang started out working under producer Erich Pommer as a script writer and editor. He eventually became a director for the Decla Bioscop Company, followed by directing under his own production company. His directorial debut came with "Halbbut" (1919). He followed with a two part picture, "Die Spinnen, 1. Teil – Der Goldene See" (1919) (The Spiders, Part 1: Golden Lake) and "Die Spinnen, 2. Teil – Das Brillantenschiff" (1920) (The Spiders, Part 2: The Diamond Ship), both of which he wrote and directed. In 1920, he met his future wife, actress/writer Thea von Harbou, who would co-write with him all of his movies from then on until 1933.
He did not start receiving recognition for his efforts until 1921's "Destiny". Its theme, man's bargaining with his own fate, became central in many of his following films. His next hit, "Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler" (1922), was a two part gangster serial inspired by Al Capone that foreshadowed Adolf Hitler's rise to power by documenting the life of the fictional evil genius Dr. Mabuse. It astonished audiences everywhere, as Mabuse was one of cinema's first super criminals. Lang next tried to stir pride in Germany with the two part Siegfried epic based "Die Niebelungen" (1924), which was released as two parts, "Siegfried" (1924) and "Kriemhild's Revenge" (1924), in the United States.
Directly following came one of Lang's absolute best: "Metropolis" (1927). The massive production, with a budget of $200 million, became the most expensive silent film of all time. The picture was set in 2026, and portrayed the future as being divided into two social classes: the rich and the poor. It was a powerful expressionistic drama that marked a turning point in movie history and explicitly showed Lang's technique and style, making him one of the top directors of the time, even though the picture turned out to be neither a catastrophic fail nor success. He created another criminal film, "Spies" (1928), as well as another futuristic feature, "Woman in the Moon" (1929), before coming out with his first sound picture, "M" (1931). The real life based, guilt-exploring, murder mystery became a classic. The film was later remade by Joseph Losey in 1951, but his work had little effect on audiences, as it could not compare to the original.
After releasing "The Last Will of Dr. Mabuse" (1933) and "The Last Testament of Dr. Mabuse" (1933), the director was offered a job to direct propaganda films for Adolf Hitler. The propagandist who offered him the job was obviously unaware of Lang's Jewish background, and he decided to flee the country before the propagandist could find out, leaving behind his Nazi ex-wife. Stopping in Paris to film "Liliom" (1934), the director relocated to Hollywood in the United States. His debut film as a U.S. director was the crime drama "Fury" (1936), and it became a huge commercial and critical success. It was followed by the Bonnie and Clyde model "You Only Live Once" (1937) and musical comedy "You and Me" (1938).
He continued making Hollywood films, mostly film noirs but also including westerners, war dramas, thrillers, and melodramas. Some of his more known pictures during his American career include the westerners "The Return of Frank James" (1940) and "Western Union" (1941), war films, thrillers, and dramas "Hangmen Also Die" (1943), "The Ministry of Fear" (1944), "The Woman in the Window" (1944), and "Scarlett Street" (1945). His later films included mainly crime dramas like "Clash By Night" (1952), "The Blue Gardenia" (1953), "Human Desire" (1954), "While the City Sleeps" (1956), and his final American made picture, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" (1956). By the mid 1950's, Lang had become frustrated with the Hollywood movie system, and decided to leave the studios. As well, I'm sure Hollywood was starting to get tired to him, too, as he was seen as tyrannical and abusive to actors, not unlike the notorious Otto Preminger.
At the draw of the 1950's the director returned to Germany. He was offered two jobs in India, for "Der Tiger von Eschnapur" (1959) (The Tiger of Eschnapur) and "The Tomb of Love" (1959). Then, he quickly made "Journey to the Lost City" (1960) and another Dr. Mabuse film, "The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse" (1959). All of these later films found neither success nor acclaim. During the filming of the latter, his eyesight became so poor that he settled on retiring. He never completed another picture. Lang moved back to Beverly Hills to live out his retirement. On August 2, 1976, the director passed away. For his work in the motion picture industry, he was awarded with a Life Career Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA, an Honorary Award from the German Film Awards, as well as a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

THE CLAIM: Exposure to plants and parks can boost immunity.
THE FACTS: This time of year, allergies and the promise of air-conditioning tend to drive people indoors. But for those who can take the heat and cope with the pollen, spending more time in nature might have some surprising health benefits. In a series of studies, scientists found that when people swap their concrete confines for a few hours in more natural surroundings -- forests, parks and other places with plenty of trees -- they experience increased immune function.

APPSC.GOV.IN GROUP 4 Cut off Marks Estimation
APPSC Group 4 Cut off Marks Estimation
Merit lists for APPSC GROUP 4 exam conducted on 11th August 2011 has been sent to the district authorities. Many districts already published the general merit list without Group 4 cut off marks. Many candidates or aspirants of this exam has been estimating the Group 4 cut off marks for various districts according the merit list published by their respective districts official websites. The said Group 4 cut off are not just implies the number of posts available in each districts. Group 4 cut off marks actually depends on various factors. I am here with putting a detailed explanation on which factors Group 4 cut off marks will be decided. But, many aspirants miss-understood that the cut off is actually depends on the number of posts available in their districts, as a unit of measure for reservation. The following are a few factors which directly influence the cut off marks for each category in each districts, as a unit.
Factor 01: Availability of posts in particular department:
Some of group 4 posts require specific qualification like Computers in graduation or type writing in English etc. For those who are getting good score and want to join in Treasury will obviously select Treasury department for their comfort in working hours. In general, if women candidates having computers will select for this instead of going to CCLA. Also if there are posts in Treasury in specific category and not available in open for any reservation candidates, they will go for Treasury in their respective category. Simply, if some one not getting in his/her desired posting in open category, then they will go for the same posting with their reservation. In these both cases, next ranker will get in for available posts in open category. In this case open group 4 cut off marks will be significantly vary to the lower level.
Factor 02:
Many aspirants are also some times selected in another notifications where there is a higher degree of respect and pay scale. In such a situation, candidates comes under this will not attend for interview or certificate verification. Also, if some one got selected in Group 2 non-executive and want to prepare for executive posts, for that this person might go for Group 2 post at State capital Hyderabad for coaching purpose as well as job concern. Many aspirants prefer group 2 non-executive post at Hyderabad for coaching purpose. In this case next candidate of group 4 cut off will be decrease to some extent.
Factor 03:
If some one wrote an exam as a non-local candidate, he/she must be in top 20% of the open category posts. In this case, if some scored marks are fair enough to get in open local, but not in top 20% of the jobs or posts available, then they will not get job. So, they will not be selected, even it seems to be one of the selected candidate. In general, we can see such things in Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts where candidates from all over the Andra Pradesh choose these districts for continuing their preparation for Executive posts like Group2, Group1 etc by taking coaching at Hyderabad. Since many famous coaching centers for Civil services and Group1 services are available at Hyderabad. In these districts cut off may vary significantly.
Factor 04:
In general, women candidates having some constraints in their home front. Since women having responsibilities as mother, wife and Home maker and may not wish to move from their home town to far away places. In this case, they used to select a department where there is fixed time of working hours and near by to their presently residing area. For that their choice will be from Women category posts, but not in Open-General post if they are not in top ranks.
Assume that the following are the available posts in open category in a particular district.
OC-gen ccla(10)+Treasury(01)+S&R(02)+R&B(03) = 16 posts in Open-General Category OC-W CCLA(06)+Treasury(02)+S&R(01)+R&B(01) = 10 posts => 26 posts in Open-Women Category Assume other category also having posts in their reservation
Then the following probable list of candidates for upto 31st rank may get job.
1. oc-gen without comp & type CCLA-1(g1) 2. oc-gen with comp Treasury-1(g2) 3. oc-gen without comp & type CCLA-2(g3) 4. bcd-gen without comp & type S&R-1(g4) 5. bcd-w with comp Treasury-2(gw1) 6. oc-gen without comp & type S&R-2(g5) 7. oc-gen without comp & type Absent (Due to selection in Executive Post) 8. bca-gen without comp & type CCLA-3(g6) 9. oc-w with comp Treasury-3(gw2) 10. oc-gen with comp Non-local 11. oc-gen without comp & type CCLA-4(g7) 12. bcd-w with comp S&R-3(gw1) 13. bcd-gen without comp & type CCLA-5(g8) 14. sc-gen without comp & type CCLA-6(g9) 15. oc-gen without comp & type CCLA-7(g10) 16. bcd-gen without comp & type Absent (Due to selection in Executive Post) 17. oc-gen without comp & type CCLA-8(g11) 18. bcd-w without comp & type S&R-4(w1 in BCD-W) 19. oc-gen with comp CCLA-9(g12) 20. bcd-gen with comp S&R-5(in BCD-GEN) 21. OC-GEN without comp & type Absent(Due to in GR2 Non-executive) 22. oc-w without comp & type CCLA-10(g13) 23. bcd-gen with comp S&R-6(in BCD-GEN) 24. sc-gen without comp & type CCLA-11(in SC-GEN) 25. bcd-gen without comp & type CCLA-12(in bcd-gen) 26. oc-gen without comp & type R&B-1(g14) 27. oc-w without comp & type CCLA-13(gw5) 28. bcd-w without comp & type CCLA-14(gw6) 29. oc-gen without comp & type R&B-2(g15) 30. sc-w with comp S&R-7(in SC-W) 31. oc-gen with comp R&B-3(g16)
If closely observe the above illustrated example, open Group 4 cut off is not at 16th ranker. Due to the said factors, the cut off might be at 31st ranker. But, what we think is that Group 4 cut off is at 16th rank for open general category. Since in the above illustrated example, Group 4 cut off for Open-gen varied from 16th rank to 31st rank, the same will reflect in open-women category. The priority for selection of posts in various departments varies on individual circumstances. But, in general, it follows the order of priority like "comfort of working department, career growth in particular department, place of work; individuals primary target or goal for joining in a particular department; Individual constraints etc.".
In a gist, group 4 cut off marks does not stop at the number of posts available in each category. It obviously comes down, but not what actually we are expecting at.

ADVANCED CONGRATULATION TO all the selected from APPSC GROUP 4 RESULTS.

CSC, a global systems integration and outsourcing company, recently announced the first Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) cloud offering in the Canadian market.
It's become an accepted fact that bringing your own device to work (BYOD) has its advantages; user comfort, social media access for business tasks and near 24/7 responsiveness all translates to increased user productivity. As the consumerization of IT takes hold and companies implement BYOD policies, they are grappling with a number of new issues: questions regarding smart device purchasing, mobile application development and extending legacy communications functionality to mobile and remote devices, to name a few.
Successful companies have found that Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) via the cloud offers an effective means for integrating the mix of smart devices and ensuring workforce productivity. In general, UCC is an Internet-telephony technology architecture capable of integrating legacy and existing communication systems with newer, innovative productivity tools to deliver communication capabilities across multiple applications and devices.
CSC's UCC solutions suite is deployed on top of Cisco's VCE Vblock cloud infrastructure. The Vblock platform combines virtualization software from VMware; unified networking, security and computing from Cisco – and storage, security and management technologies from EMC. Such a diverse mixture of sponsored components for a UCC solution is significant. These diverse products are unified through the CSC offering as a single solution for all kinds of communications, from fax, video and email systems to mobile and smart devices.
Using the same cloud fabric, architecture, rate structure, service level and management options in all CSC cloud models provides multiple options supporting customers' evolving cloud strategies. When a company adopts a UCC system, the organization generally sees improvements in three key areas: communications, operational efficiency and collaborative abilities. CSC offers its strategy of creating cloud architectures that can underline its outsourcing business, as well as deliver multiple service configurations to respond to a multiplicity of client problems.
The company combines its BizCloud offering with the same CloudCompute architecture/infrastructure for a private cloud installation at a client's premises within 10 weeks and billed as a service from a standard rate card.

True Stories of Crying at Work
Jamie Pennington
Jamie Pennington, 32, former investment banker, now employment-agency founder, Atlanta
The moment: When I asked my boss if I could approach some of the firm's lapsed clients to see if I could bring them back, I expected him to appreciate my initiative. I was shocked when he said no then added that he didn't want me to embarrass myself or the company. He thought I wasn't ready, and it was a hurtful way to say it.
I felt the tears coming, but I refused to cry. I bit my lip and didn't say another word. At the end of the meeting, my lip was bleeding. I was the only female stockbroker on the desk, and crying would have validated the stereotypes about women in a male-dominated field. When I accepted the job, I knew I would have to prove myself every single day, and that included showing them I could take it and move on.
The aftermath: My boss never came around, but I eventually won the backing of a senior director and went ahead with my plan and became the top sales producer in the department. When I left to start my own business, my boss refused to shake my hand because he was watching millions of dollars in sales walk out the door.
The takeaway: I'm a big believer in "Never let them see you sweat," but even more than that, crying would have allowed my boss and colleagues to use it against me throughout my tenure at the firm.

MIAMI — Heat forward Chris Bosh last played in a playoff game almost three years ago.
After watching the postseason for so long, Bosh finally found himself on the court instead.
The wait was worth it after Bosh scored a game-high 25 points and had 12 rebounds in the Heat's 97-89 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

TV funnyman Paddy McGuinness, famed for hit shows Phoenix Nights and Max And Paddy's Road To Nowhere, shares his hopes and fears for United Relief...
How much are you looking forward to representing The Rivals on Saturday?
It's a dream come true – it's just a pity it's at Old Trafford! No, I'm really looking forward to it. As a football fan, you don't get the chance to play in a big stadium very often. It'll be amazing to see it from the players' point of view, watching the families cheering on.
So is a trip to OT a big day out for a Bolton Wanderers fan?
Yes. Although I'm one of the few Bolton fans who likes to watch United matches. I watch all the big clubs and as a fan you have to appreciate the way they play.
What will be your pre-match snack of choice?
I'll be too nervous to eat anything! Maybe I'll eat one of those energy bars so I look like I'm calm and sporty. But I'll probably just go for a Twix.
What's your score prediction?
I really would like to say it's going to be 3-2 to us, but I think it'll be 5-2 to them. Andrew Cole will score first, I reckon. I wouldn't put any money on it yet though – I'll see what the mood is in the dressing room just before the match.
Do you have a message for the United team?
Please don't laugh at us!

If you're afraid of making choux pastry – the classic buns used for profiteroles and éclairs – don't be; it's simple.
But if you can make shortcrust pastry, then you can easily beat together a batch of glorious choux.
Cooked choux pastry is light, crisp and airy, which is achieved when its large water content turns to steam in a hot oven. It's a simple case of beating the mixture to a smooth paste, then piping or shaping and baking. Once cooked, it's important to prick the base of each one to release the steam that has helped it to rise. If left to go cold unpunctured, the steam turns back to water resulting in soft or soggy buns.
This recipe will make about 25 éclairs, 16 buns or 30 mini buns.
1. You will need: 150g plain flour, 1 teaspoon each sugar and salt, 100g unsalted butter and 4 eggs. Sieve the flour, sugar and salt onto greaseproof paper. Put the butter and 250ml cold water into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then quickly slide the flour mixture off the paper and into the pan. Stir well.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Using a wooden spoon, beat the mixture off the heat until it forms a ball and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan. This should take just a few minutes.
3. Beat the eggs together in a bowl. Still off the heat, beat the eggs into the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. At first, the egg will seem like it doesn't want to amalgamate, but keep beating and it will mix in smoothly.
4. You may find it easier to hold the pan in one hand and beat the mixture with a wooden spoon in the other. Keep beating until all the egg mixture is used up and you have a paste that is thick and shiny. The mixture should drop off the spoon when tapped lightly on the side of the pan.
5. Pipe or spoon the mixture onto a greased baking tray. For little buns, spoon the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a plain 1cm nozzle and pipe small mounds on the tray; for éclairs, pipe fingers; for large buns, use 2 dessert spoons to shape the mixture onto the tray.
6. Bake at 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6 (for éclairs or mini buns, cook for 20-25 minutes; for buns cook for 30-35 minutes) until golden brown. Remove from the oven and make a small hole in the underside of each bun to release any steam. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
Treat guests to these delightful buns, made with fresh, juicy strawberries.
This spectacular-looking creation is a very traditional French dessert that's actually quite simple to prepare.

With two young kids that thankfully have avoided serious injury so far, I thought I would pass on the following low-tech tips to new moms and dads. Some of these tips are already well-known but hopefully there's something here that you might not otherwise have thought about:
- Electrical Safety
Starting with the obvious, outlet covers can minimize the chance for a bad accident. I found it difficult to make the plugs and wires for all devices (lamps, computers, etc.) completely inaccessible to crawlers, but I tried to minimize potential trouble. For example, I put my computer power strip up on my desk rather than on the floor. I also tried to teach "NO!" when it comes to playing with wires.
- Sharp Objects Safety
Another obvious tip, keep dangerous objects out-of-reach. One product that helped us do this was a magnetic knife board. We chose the Norpro 12 Inch Magnetic Knife Tool Bar and it definitely came in handy once our daughter started pushing chairs around to stand on so she could reach the counters.
- Small Objects Safety
Keeping small objects off the floor where infants can grab them and put them in their mouths seems obvious enough. However, it becomes more difficult if you have both an infant and a toddler. Since my toddler leaves stickers all around, I've had to retrieve stickers from my baby's mouth on several occasions. I don't really have any advice for this one other than frequent patrols and keeping a close watch on your baby.
- Drawer Locks
Related to keeping dangerous objects out-of-reach, drawer locks can discourage access to kitchen drawers but shouldn't be relied upon as fail-safe. Here's a model similar to what we have; I linked to this one because it got more stars than the ones we have: Safety 1st 14 Pack Wide Grip Latches
- Baby Gates
I knew I had to install a baby gate at the top of the stairs and I highly recommend the Kidco Safeway Gate for a top-of-the-stairs gate. Less obvious, but very important once babies can climb stairs, is one for the bottom of the stairs. Our house has a wide pass-through and I found this Summer Infant Extra Tall Decorative Walk-Thru Gate, which fits wide spaces and has served us well. We previously had a different model but it didn't fit well and was knocked down multiple times.
- Fireplace Safety
We have a stone fireplace hearth that would definitely hurt if you fell and hit your face on a corner of it so I bought and installed this Prince Lionheart Fireplace Guard with Two Corners. The foam didn't fit exactly but was easy to cut for a custom fit.
- Door Safety
Probably most avoidable minor accidents that we've had involve an adult opening a door with a small child behind it. When doors have windows, I peek down through the window before opening it. For other doors, I open them slowly. It may take awhile to form these habits, but once you whack your kid with a door a couple of times it will come naturally. I'm also trying to teach our older daughter that doors aren't toys, but that's a lesson we're still working on.
- Toddler Handrail
There's no way to know if the toddler handrail I installed has prevented any accidents, but my daughter definitely uses it when on the stairs and it is much easier to reach for her than the regular adult handrail. See my toddler handrail post for a few more details.
- Ceiling Fan Safety
What father can resist hoisting his baby in the air? It's a great joy for both father and child, but be sure not to do it underneath a ceiling fan!
As always, please feel free to add any other suggestions in the comments!

Be your own Bond Girl - get the Marios Schwab look
There seems to be a bit of a love affair going on right now between Marios Schwab and the ladies of James Bond. First up new Bond Girl Naomi Harris chose one of his sequinned double-layer sheer gowns for the premiere of Skyfall, before changing into a shorter version with a latticework texture for the afterparty.
Then Quantum of Solace star Gemma Arterton upped the ante in a lacy version of the same double-layer gown for a gala event in London. We think both ladies look pretty spectacular in the unusual gowns - this is risk-taking London fashion at its best.
But how do you give this a go without looking like you've shoved a slip over a sequin leotard? Well, with trouble...without a Bond Girl bod this look could go downhill fast, but Jovonnista has a dress that may provide the answer.
The 'Rachel' (£60) comes in two colours - gold or silver - with a black overlay and a sheer top that could be worn over a sequinned bustier to finish the look in true Marios style, or with a black vest to dress it down a tiny bit.

On tap for Tuesday
There's more going on next Tueday than just the final sing-off on American Idol (Melinda was robbed.). The real action's at City Hall, where you should be at 7:30 p.m. if any of the following concern you:
"What is the criteria for these assessments?" That was the most-repeated question at last Tuesday's public hearing on the real estate tax rate. Legally, the City Council is separated from the assessment process, but on Tueday, they've invited Commissioner of the Revenue Lois Jacob and Mike Didawick, of Blue Ridge Mass Appraisal Co., which did the reassessment, to address some of the most common concerns about the new values. City officials sent Didawick a list of the most commonly asked questions at the public hearing, and residents will be able to ask additional questions during Tuesday's public comment period. You must get on the list to do that, though, so if you want to speak, call City Clerk Mary Smith at 540/372-1010 by Tuesday. It's not clear right now whether Didawick will directly address questions at the meeting, but city officials are trying to work out a format to do that.
The tax rate. Council members will take the first of two required votes on the city budget for next year. The version they'll vote on sets the real estate tax rate at 53 cents per $100 of value.
One-way traffic on Charlotte and George streets? More on this in Tuesday's paper, but the council will hold a public hearing on a proposal that would make these roads one-way (away from the Rappahannock) between Sophia and Prince Edward streets, to make way for angled parking spots. City staff have recommended against doing this, and the folks building a hotel at the corner of Caroline and Charlotte streets don't like it, either.
Demolition rules, revised. The Historic Preservation Task Force's revised rules on tearing down buildings in the Historic District are also up for a hearing. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the new standards last month.

Social Gaming to top $5 Billion by 2015April 8th, 2011 by Dan Taylor
In a new report issued by Parks Associates, the firm forecasts that the social gaming industry will increase it's revenue by five times between 2010 and 2015. The revenue increase is fueled primarily by increased advertising revenues and virtual goods sales. According to Parks Associates, these driving factors have already pushed social gaming revenues north of $1 Billion in 2010, and they see the trend continuing. The research firm will be presenting the findings of their Social Gaming: Market Updates report at the upcoming Game Investment Conference in Austin, TX on the 13th of April.

WR Status Check: Percy Harvin (Ankle) And Calvin Johnson (Knee)Posted by on November 9, 2012 – 7:58 am
Earlier this week we listed the 7 Vikings-Lions storylines we'd be following this week, so with Friday upon us and kickoff just two days away, let's check in on the #1 storyline: Harvin's Ankle, Megatron's Knee. Percy Harvin leads the NFL in receptions with 62 and Detroit's Calvin Johnson is arguable the NFL's best player at the position. But neither has practiced this week due to injuries, and it will have a profound impact on Sunday's game.
Of the two receivers, Johnson stands the best chance to play. He's dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of practice all of last week. The time away from practice didn't seem to bother the All-Pro, as he came down with 7 receptions for 129 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson has been held out of practice this week, too, but the smart money is on him playing. And if he's playing, he's dangerous.
There's been another element added to this mix of late, though. According to a report from Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Johnson told reporters on Thursday that he's dealing with nerve damage that is making it harder for him to grip the football. Johnson pointed to a pair of hits from the Lions Week 4 game against the Vikings that is causing the issue.
As for Harvin, he has not been ruled out but he did call himself a "longshot" to play. Harvin suffered an ankle injury last week in Seattle, but was able to finish the game. Harvin spoke with reporters earlier in the week while leaning on crutches, causing many to speculate that the NFL's leading receiver will be unavailable for Sunday's game.
I'm not in the business of speculating whether or not a guy will play despite an injury. The Vikings have a bye following this Sunday's game, so keeping Harvin out of this week's game would essentially give him nearly three full weeks between his injury and the next ball game. But Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier said after practice on Thursday that if Harvin is healthy enough to play, he'll play. Also keep in mind that Harvin is as tough a player as there is, so if there's even the slightest bit of chance he can play, Harvin will be angling to get out there.
If he plays, that's great news for the Vikings. If he doesn't play, the Vikings will have about 11 touches to distribute to other players. Harvin has 100 touches through 9 games this season, which averages out to 11.1 touches per game. In this week's Wobcast – where Cris Carter is featured as the guest – I pointed to three players who could see a few more touches if Harvin doesn't play: WR Jarius Wright and TEs John Carlson and Kyle Rudolph.
Harvin also has a role on special teams as the Vikings kickoff returner, and Vikings Head Coach Mike Priefer said a number of guys could step into that role if Harvin is unable to play. Marcus Sherels, the Vikings starting punt returner, can do it, as can Wright, WR Stephen Burton and CBs A.J. Jefferson and Josh Robinson.

Heavy Fuel, the very best | Reviewer: William "Heavy Fuel" Vogt II | 3/5/2005
'Heavy Fuel' is one of the best hard rock/metal songs ever! And is my favorite song of all time. That's why I bought this album. I also like some
others, other than 'Heavy Fuel', such as 'Calling Elvis', 'On Every Street', 'When It Comes to You', 'The Bug'. 'The Bug' is a very fast hard
rock song with great vocals by Mark. 'When It Comes to You' is kind of a
country style song that makes me think of Peoria, Illinois. This version
of 'Calling Elvis' is even better than the version on Sultans of Swing/The
Very Best of Dire Straits, and same thing for 'On Every Street'. This is
one of Dire Straits' best albums of all time. I'm gonna get Brothers in
Arms to see if that one is as good as both this album, and Sultans of Swing/The Very Best of Dire Straits. I also recommend these items in addition to this album.
1. Appetite for Destruction: (1987) by Guns N' Roses
2. Sultans of Swing: (1998) by Dire Straits
3. Brothers in Arms: (1985) by Dire Straits
4. On The Night: (1993) by Dire Straits
great cd

28th Annual Conference of the Center for Medieval Studies
Fordham University, Lincoln Center, New York City: March 29-30, 2008
Maureen Quigley, Romancing the (Very Recent) Past: Reality, Fantasy, and Crusade Manuscripts at the Court of Philip VI of Valois
From 1331-1337, King Philip VI of Valois (1328-1350) planned a crusade to the Holy Land in the tradition of his illustrious predecessors. Declaring a crusade project was nothing new among the successors of the most recent crusader king, St. Louis IX, yet by the time of Philip VI's reign, crusading outside of Europe as a practical military exercise was increasingly distant to members of the court. In other words, what had been a personally remembered experience of foreign lands and foreign peoples just a generation or two before, was now the realm of nostalgia.
When attempting to define the crusade at the court of Philip VI, the conflation of nostalgia, literary romance, and practical military advice is made evident through a series of illuminated manuscripts created in Paris in the mid- to late- 1330s. My current research is focused on identifying illuminated programs associated with the crusading culture at Philip VI's court. To date, I have examined the new luxury copies of the chronicles of William of Tyre (BnF ms. fr. 22495 and BnF ms. fr. 24209), the crusading cycles in the Grandes chroniques de France (BL Royal ms. 16 G VI), the Mahiet copy of the Life of St. Louis by Jean de Joinville (BnF ms. fr. 13568), and the Life and Miracles of St. Louis by Guillaume de St-Pathus (BnF ms. fr. 5716), Guido da Vigevano's Texaurus Regis francie acquisitionis Terre Sancte (BnF ms. fr. 11015), and finally the crusade compilation in BL Royal ms. 19 D I. Created by only a few of the finest artists working in Paris and, often, directly for the court, these manuscripts seemingly display an intentional development of crusading imagery.

This is an awesome light. I am so happy with how it looks. Someone else said they hung it without the glass in it - it would look classy like that. i chose to put it up with the glass for now though. It does not have glass on the bottom - which is a good thing for preventing dust and making cleaning easier. Took me awhile to figure the assembly - I will try to help others figure this out, but it is difficult without being able to draw it out. Assembly was as directed until it comes to threading the wires through - in the area around the round piece on top remove the bottom 1-inch "bolt" and nut, and on the top of this area, remove the washer and nut. These will not be used. This means the wires will come: 1)through the hole at the bottom of round part, through the joiner type sleeve, 2)through the longer bolt, out the cap of the round part and then 3)through the hook type thing at bottom of chain. The larger one of those hook type things goes at the bottom. Hint: note that the chain has clasps at each end, remove the chain while putting the chandelier together. *Unlike some of the other reviews, my chandelier sleeves were white as pictured, not bronze. They are good quality and made of metal. Other chandelier's I have purchased had cardboard sleeves!
This light is beautiful but really big! I needed a new light for my foyer and I had been eyeing similar ones but the prices ran from $300-$500. It is great quality although the glass isn't quite right. I tried windexing it but it still a little fuzzy. I may just take out the glass altogether. Advice: - I do not recommend getting it if you have lower ceilings unless it is going over a table. My ceilings are 9' and it only has a few links in it so you can comfortably walk under it. - It is heavy so make sure your electrical box is mounted well. I would absolutely purchase this light again, great purchase for the price. Just be aware of the size!
I received my chandelier and LOVE it. This is a $500-600 chandelier with the same quality - for a fraction of the price! Enough said. They describe the finish as Antique Copper - but it really is more like oil rubbed bronze. Enjoy!
Not recommended - The center bar on the light is too short - once assembled the bottom of the lights do not line up with the bottom of the fixture as shown in the photo. Instead the bottom of the lights are about 1/3rd or 1/2 the way up in the glass area and looks very awkward. I would have returned this item but this flaw until the fixture could not be seen until it was fully assembled and ready to hang! At that point it was just too much of a hassle to take the fixture apart, re-box, etc. Also, the metal structure is very thin and in my opinion does not look chunky or bold enough, a little wimpy. This is hanging in my foyer and is not making the statement that I had hopped, it looks cheap, not even worth the price paid.
I am quite satisfied with the color and style of this light fixture, however it is very large. The product itself seems to be of good quality, but the instructions for installation were not complete. For someone that does not install light fixtures every day, this posed a problem to my husband and I. They included the nuts, screws, bolts, etc., but don't break down where everything needs to go, etc. This is extremely frustrating when you are trying to put this together. My only other complaint was the clips that hold the 4 glass pieces in place, do NOT feel adequate. I am praying that one of them does not fall out, as they are very heavy.
BUYER BEWARE, READ THE FINE PRINT. The headline says Bronze, in the details it says *Copper Iron.* The specs say *under 16-inches in reality it is 12-inches. The marketing is highly misleading. If you are looking for an approximate 16-inch wide Bronze fixture, this is not it. If we use these we'll have to buy and extra one to fill the space and spray paint them all prior to installation to get the color we though we were getting. The photos DO NOT look like the item. The photos make the finish look dark bronze, it is copper.
We were looking for something different for our coastal look dining room. We love the look of the light but did not realize that we would have to put the fixture together. The directions were less than satisfactory but we finally figured it out. We haven't put the glass in yet but it looks absolutely beautiful!
After this awesome purchase, I see no need to spend thousands at fine decor stores, overstock has some gorgeous options. It took my husband a few hours to install- the hardest, most tedious part was the glass doors- but sooo worth it!!
I was hesitant to order this because I wasn't sure I was going to like the style. I am so glad I did, it's just beautiful in person. Online it appears black or at least bronze, but it is truly a copper color. I wasn't too keen on it at first, but I really love it after I hung it in my formal dining room. It's simple, understated and very trendy. Doesn't at all take away from the room, just compliments it perfectly. Plus, the cost was outstanding. Another awesome purchase!
Pulled this out of the box and the metal "cage" was broken at 4 joints... 3 at the top where the curve joins the vertical corners, and another at a bottom joint. Overstock said I could pay to return it, and then they would decide how much I should receive in return once inspected by their department. Such crap! They sent me a faulty product and will only give me partial refund, and wont even tell me how much "partial" means. I figured they would give me less than it cost to return it, so I don't have a choice but to keep it. VERY disappointed! Total waste of money!!
