TURTON author Christine Conroy signed copies of her debut book Stitch Your Own Silver Linings at Waterstone's in Deansgate.
Mrs Conroy, aged 56, was accompanied by her daughter Charlotte, aged 25, who was part of the inspiration for the book, after she developed bone cancer when she was just seven years old and was given 12 months to live.
Mrs Conroy, who is also a university lecturer and motivational speaker, uses her personal experiences from the book, along with scientific research, to create a method that will help people who are struggling with life's challenges.
She said: "It was supposed to be a two-hour signing but I ended up staying there for four. It was really nice to have a proper chat with people who were buying it, rather than them just leaving the shop straight away.
"It was such a beautiful day that I was surprised so many people came in from the sunshine to have a chat, but I didn't stop all afternoon.
"I'm now looking forward to getting feedback from those who bought the book to hear their thoughts as I start thinking about writing the next one."

Breast Feeding
Can I run out of milk?
If I am using a breast pump while I have to be away from the baby to work or occasionally travel out of town alone for a couple of days, is it possible to run out of milk?
Congratulations on your new baby! It is wonderful that you plan to provide your milk while at work. To simplify a complex biochemical process, the answer is "no," you should not run out of milk while separated from your baby if you understand that the breasts make milk based on the amount of milk that is removed from them. The more milk that is removed by an effective baby or pump, the more milk that is made. The converse also is true. The less milk that is removed, the less milk that is made. (However, it takes a mother`s brain and breasts a day or two to translate an increase or decrease in the amount of breastfeeding or pumping into more or less breast milk production.) That is why breastfeeding "how-to" books recommend a mother and baby begin breastfeeding (or pumping if a baby or mother has a health issue to be resolved) as soon as possible after birth and continue with frequent breastfeedings (or pumping sessions) thereafter.
Most fully breastfed newborns or young infants breastfeed 8-12 times in a 24 hour period. To maintain adequate milk production if separated from a baby for hours or days, a mother can pump in a way that copies her baby`s breastfeeding routine. In most situations, this means pumping so that the total number of breastfeedings and pumping sessions is at least eight in 24 hours. A mother can increase the number of pumping sessions if her baby often breastfeeds more than that number. During the day most mothers plan on a pumping session about every three hours and on one at night if travel takes them from home. (The number of pumping sessions usually decreases later in the second half of a baby`s first year as the baby replaces more breastfeedings with solid food feedings.)
If a mother finds pumping is not keeping up with the amount of milk her baby takes while she is away, she should ask herself if she is: 1. pumping frequently enough, 2. using the appropriate breast pump, or 3. experiencing a mechanical difficulty with a breast pump. If separated from a baby due to employment or school hours for several days a week, most mothers find using one of the light-weight, hospital grade, self-cycling breast pumps to be the quickest and easiest way to get increased volumes of milk when pumping. Some of these breast pumps may be purchased, and others are available only through rental. A lactation consultant or La Leche League Leader** in your area should know where you might locate this type of pump.
In most cases when a mother finds milk production is not keeping pace with the amount of breast milk her baby takes while she is away, increasing the number of pumping sessions by decreasing time between sessions usually increases milk production within a few days.

Adding url to a dot file and subsequently opening the url for example by clicking on the node formed
Right now what I am doing is that i have a dot file from which ps or pdf file is been created very easily.
In one of the nodes in the dot file code, i have given a URL along with the label.
This was done so that on button click at that node, that specified url opens up.
But the url isnt working in my dot language. And, secondly which software should i use were on button click on the node shows up the url.
I am working on the latest version of Ubuntu.
Thanking You
url is not working...
Hi, I cannot this to work on Windows:
digraph Application {
node [shape=box,style=filled,fillcolor="#C0D0C0"];
subgraph clusterClient {
label="Client"; style=filled; bgcolor="#D0C0A0";
subgraph clusterServer {
label="Server"; style=filled; bgcolor="#D0C0A0";
"App" [url="http://www.nytimes.com"];
"Database" [shape=box,peripheries=0];
"Browser" -> "App" [label="HTTP",color=blue];
"App" -> "Database" [label="SQL"];
...then I called:
dosprompt> dot -Tps2 -otest.ps test.dot
dosprompt> ps2pdf test.ps
dosprompt> test.pdf
The ps-file does not contain any info about the url.
I can (obviously?) not use the link in the resulting pdf-file.
Can anybody tell me how to make the links work in Windows?
Otherwise I might have to use other software, and I'd really like to use Graphviz...
Kind regards,
André Damslora, Norway
URL is case-sensitive
I tried your example on OS/X and it did not work.
Then I changed the case to uppercase ie:
"App" [URL="http://www.nytimes.com"];
That works with the ps2 and svg formats!
Adding url to a dot file and
Take a look at the description at http://www.graphviz.org/content/output-formats#dimap. Let us know if this isn't clear.
For client-side maps, the browser often indicates the URL on mouse-over. For both cases, a button click will fire off the associated action.
not clear
thank you for the suggestion. i have already seen the link u suggested. but i could not understand the whole thing.
i created the x.gv and respectively the two output files (x.map n x.gif) got created.
i also created an html file which imported the image x.gif and base referenc x.map opened i.e on clicking anywhere on the image the x.map file opened.
but i could not understand the client part i.e the mapping part.
how will the url specified in the nodes and edges of the digraph work.
please help
not clear
Did this ever get resolved, or did you give up?
Thanks a lot! ..but another Q:
I got the case sensitivity resolved.
Now, the next question is how the resulting graph (with functioning linkes) can be included in MS Office docs.
They used to support SVG through Adopes SVGview, but this solution seems to be removed (...is it because Msoft wants to sell more Visio licenses? G.. knows..)
Any idea? After days of search and trials I still haven't found a solution which doesn't require my colleagues to install several helper applications on their laptops. I'd wanted to avoid that, otherwise it is too difficult to use in our organization.
NB! You might want to move this question to another thread...feel free to do so....and close this thread which really had a short and precise answer :-)
--André (a sworn loyalist to open source software but who has to adapt to a MS dominated environment)
Thanks a lot! ..but another Q:
The only semi-automated hooks we have for creating clickable graphs rely on PDF, SVG or image maps as used in a web page. I have no idea what is involved in getting the graph included in a Word doc. I'm also not sure how much traffic the forum has. I will post your query to the graphviz-interest mailing list http://www.graphviz.org/MailingList.php. If I get an answer, I can reply here but you might consider joining the list, if just to make sure I am asking the right question.

This orange meringue tart is a delicious mini treat that's perfect for serving at parties.
A few weeks ago it suddenly dawned on me: the end of the world was approaching and I had no plans! This didn't seem right so I decided to throw a small party on December 21, 2012 to perish in style with my best friends. Before I could utter the word "apocalypse" this small party evolved into a large shindig with over 20 of my nearest and dearest crammed into the downstairs of our modest townhouse. And of course I went completely overboard with the food. One of the many desserts I prepared was my spiced candied orange peel. Since this recipe only uses the peels and I didn't want to waste the fruit, I also made orange curd tarts.
These Orange Meringue Tarts with Grand Marnier look pretty fancy but I saved a lot of time by purchasing pre-made phyllo shells from the grocery store. Phyllo shells aren't difficult to make from scratch but there's no shame in cutting corners when you're preparing a lot of food. You can even buy pre-made curd for this recipe (but I think the homemade stuff is much tastier!)
I'm happy to say that we all survived the apocalypse! And the party was a blast. So tell me… did you do anything to celebrate surviving the Mayan apocalypse?
This orange meringue tart is a delicious mini treat that's perfect for serving at parties.
- 45 mini phyllo shells
- 2 whole large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- juice of half a lemon
- 4 ounces 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed and at room temperature
- optional: 2 drops orange food coloring
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Karo corn syrup
- 3 egg whites
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
In a medium saucepan, whisk eggs, egg yolks and sugar together until smooth. Whisk the corn starch together with a bit of the orange juice to create a slurry.
Whisk the orange juice, lemon juice and slurry into the egg mixture.
Add the food coloring if using.
Continue to whisk over medium heat until thick, 10-15 minutes. It should be the consistency of pudding. Make sure the whisk hits the bottom of the pot to keep the bottom from burning. This is less likely to happen if you use a heavy bottom saucepan.
Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in pieces of the butter.
Move the curd to a bowl and allow to chill in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Store extra curd in the refrigerator with plastic wrap pushed directly against the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium speed until they form a stiff peak.
While the egg whites are whisking, add the sugar, water and corn syrup to a medium saucepan and cover.
Bring the sugar to a boil. Remove the lid from the pan once steam has formed on the sides (this will prevent the sugar from crystalizing.) Insert a candy thermometer and cook the sugar until it reaches 235-240 degrees F, also known as the soft ball stage.
Once the egg whites have reaches a stiff peak, turn the speed to low and carefully pour the sugar syrup down the inside of the mixer and into the meringue. Don't pour too quickly or the eggs will cook.
Whip the meringue on high speed until it comes back to room temperature. Slowly add the Grand Marnier, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Scoop approximately 1 teaspoon of orange curd into each fillo cup. Use a piping bag with a tip or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the Italian meringue on top of each tart. Use a culinary torch to brulee the top of each tart.
This recipe will yield some extra meringue. Use it to make meringue cookies! Pipe the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200 degrees for 2 hours.

Yahoo! Mail Beta Integrates Yahoo! Messenger
There's yet another good reason to sign up for the Yahoo! Mail Beta service: beginning this afternoon, batches of already-enrolled users will be able to use a "lite" completely Web-hosted version of Yahoo! Messenger from within the mail interface.
Lest I get you overly excited from the start, it will be days if not weeks before this new ability is available to all the millions of Mail Beta users worldwide, so be patient. Developers at Yahoo! have to roll out the new feature in stages to accommodate everyone and sorry, you won't be able to call dibs. You'll know it is available to you when you see a message at log on telling you you've got it.
With this new feature you'll be able to text chat with the Yahoo! Messenger users already in your Messenger contact list, as well as other Yahoo! Mail Beta users on your Mail contacts list. That's right, you don't already have to have downloaded or be a current user of Yahoo! Messenger. In fact, there is even a bit of auto-detection code built in to the new version of the Mail Beta application that will prevent that application from hijacking your downloaded Messenger client session if you are already logged in.

Okay so, with my crush. I like to remind him all the time how much I care...& I tell him all the things I like about him, & when he does something I like I let him know. But sometimes I look back & I feel like I'm being TOO mushy! But he tells me he likes it when I do that. Do you guys really like things like that or was he just being nice?
Most Helpful Guy
lets put it this way..if he doesn't like it..its sure one hell of an ego boost. lol. we thrive off of compliments. just as girls do..it helps our ego. especially with the next girl that comes along
as for the situation. I'm sure he does. I mean we may be about sex..but I think in the long run when a girl does things for a guy like that. I think it makes him feel like. he's on top of the world and that nothing can stop him. ya know?11|00|0

I grew up in Omaha, where corn comes from containers in the frozen food aisle. When we moved to Spirit Lake, I loved to watch the agricultural process. From barren fields to the long stretches of tall green corn standing upright even in the hot July winds—I counted the farmers to be among the most optimistic and productive people I had ever met. Who would have faith enough to pour money and time and energy into a project of such variable outcome? There are no guarantees in farming. A farmer might do everything "right", and still lose a crop to hail or drought, frost or fire.
In fact, during all of our first seasons in Spirit Lake I noticed that the corn crop was lost to drought, year after year. I watched the corn go from gorgeous green to crispy, dried up, wasted brown and I would pray, "God, again? The corn crop is a complete loss, again?" One such September I expressed my sadness about the harvest to a farming friend. Dave thought for a minute and then asked, "Kari, would you like to ride in the combine with me sometime this week?" I accepted the invitation and soon found myself in the cab of an enormous John Deere. We drove the combine through the rows of drought-stricken, dead corn and I thought about the wasted crop—all that effort and time and money! "It's really too bad, Dave," I said. He replied, "Kari, turn around." I twisted around in the seat, and gasped. An avalanche of golden corn kernels was pouring into the truck, already brimming with a growing corn mountain! The crop had not been lost! It was just hidden among shriveled brown husks and dying leaves. The treasure waits for the harvest.
Mid-term grades are due this Monday, and many of you have spent a busy week grading papers and recording scores. Already, we may be feeling like our efforts to plant seeds, to water, to nourish and to grow are being wasted. By the time our students reach the high school, they have been thru more than a decade of planting and harvesting, tilling and toiling. For some students, the soil is depleted, the ground is tired and the crop yield appears questionable. But, like farmers, teachers are the most optimistic and productive people that I know. There are no guarantees in teaching, yet we never lose hope in the harvest. Teachers don't measure the abundance of a harvest by the way the crop looks on the outside. Teachers know that the treasure is often hidden, waiting for someone with enough energy to work on its growth and enough faith to wait for the right time to bring in the harvest.
Thanks for being teachers that hold on to hope, and find treasure in every field.

Sound — 10
Slow Club are a boy girl duo known for their tantalizing harmonies and use of household objects such as bottles and chairs to make music. As a band they show a wide variety of sounds, demonstrated in their first album, "Yeah So," from the gentle acoustic that opens the album with "When I Go" to the upbeat '60s style "Giving Up on Love" to the slow "Sorry About the Doom" and to the alluring guitar style in "Wild Blue Milk." As a result of this a lot of Slow Club fans, when asked about their favourite song, will give completely different answers as we all love Slow Club for our own reasons, giving a really personal touch to the album in my opinion. For me, I was brought to Slow Club upon hearing what is now one of my favourite songs on a television programme called "Chuck." That song is "Christmas TV," however having heard the full album I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite. Despite my praise the sound is of course not for everyone, some people will hate the album but I find that all the best things in life somebody hates, because it is out there, controversial, punchy, catchy and good. If you are someone that hates good music, and there are more people than you'd think out there that do, don't bother listening to this album.
Lyrics — 8
Rebecca and Charles produce some beautiful harmonies, however both also sing solo at some point in most of their songs. Particularly strong vocals can be found in the "secret song" at the end of what is the final track in the non-deluxe album - "Our Most Brilliant Friends." This is essentially a solo song from Rebecca with Charles only coming in at the very end. The lyrics to the album are derived from a mix of personal experience and random story-telling with one member of the duo providing the idea and the other either "telling them it is stupid" or helping develop it. Though most of the songs are co-written, Charles did mention in a interview the "more personal" songs were not interfered with by the other person, though which songs they are is unclear. Overall, I would say the lyrics are cheesy, soft and uncool, telling innocent stories of love rather than stories of sex and "rock 'n' roll" and for me there is something brilliantly charming and refreshing about that.
Overall Impression — 10
The songs that stand out for me are: - Christmas TV - When I Go - Boys on Their Birthdays - Apples and Pairs - Dance Till the Morning Light - Because We're Dead As I said, I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite, hence the fact I had to pick 6! However if you asked another fan of slow club, their top 6 could not have any from this list in as it is such a varied album. This is my favourite album of all time and I never go more than a week without listening to at least a couple of songs from it and I have recommended it to anyone willing to listen. I am not a particularly good writer and have never done a review before so this review wasn't for your enjoyment to read or mine to write, it was simply meant to spread the word of a great, under-appreciated band and to tell you to buy the album and fall in love with it like me.

The Taney Dragons have become the darlings of the Little League World Series. And nowhere is Taney fever at a higher pitch than in their hometown of Philadelphia, where Taney gear is flying off the shelves.
The small storefront of Triple Play Sports in the Italian Market is crowded and humming by 10 a.m. It's back to school season, the busiest time of year for the shop.
This week, they're also doing a brisk trade in official Taney T-shirts. Dewey LaRosa, behind the register, says they've been selling at rates he never expected.
"We thought maybe 150 to 200 would be enough," LaRosa said, "but we're probably on our third run of 250, so it's closing in on about 750 shirts so far."
The T-shirts list the full roster of the first Philadelphia team to ever reach the Little League World Series. Some customers are walking into the store, but Triple Play is also selling the shirts far and wide on the Internet.
"We started an online shop last week, and we're getting sales from California, Florida, Arizona," said LaRosa.
LaRosa said that among the customers they're shipping shirts to are families with the last name Taney, along with former Taney league players who've moved away from Philadelphia, including some now off at college.
All proceeds from the T-shirt sales go to support the Taney Youth Baseball Association.

PRO FOOTBALL; Byrd Is Partly Paralyzed as Jets Fall to Chiefs
By TIMOTHY W. SMITH,
Published: November 30, 1992
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 29— The Jets' miserable season lost most of its meaning 23 seconds into the third quarter of the team's game with Kansas City at Giants Stadium this afternoon. At that moment, defensive end Dennis Byrd crashed to the field after a collision with a teammate, tackle Scott Mersereau, as they converged toward Chiefs quarterback Dave Krieg.
An eerie silence gripped the stadium as Jets doctors and trainers attended to Byrd for seven minutes. Hopes were raised when Byrd moved his left arm. A few of his teammates drifted over to talk to him and hold his hand, then slowly they began to realize just how seriously injured he was.
Paralyzed in his lower body, Byrd was strapped to a specially designed board for players who suffer spinal injuries and placed onto a cart and taken off the field through the west end of the stadium. He was then taken to Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, where he went through a battery of neurological tests and X-rays.
Frank Ramos, a spokesman for the Jets, said late last night that Byrd had suffered a fractured C-5 vertebra, which is commonly known as a broken neck, and that "he is paralyzed from the waist down and has no use of his legs and partial use of his arms." He added that it usually takes 48 to 72 hours for an essentially definitive prognosis on whether such paralysis would be permanent.
Ramos said that physicians at Lenox Hill immobilized Byrd's neck in what is known as a halo vest. Byrd's condition was described as stable.
"In three to four days he will undergo surgery to stabilize the spinal cord at the site of the injury," Ramos said. "The next few days will be critical in monitoring his neurological return." 'He Said He Hit His Head'
"On the field he was complaining that he couldn't move his legs," said Jets trainer Bob Reese. "He said he hit his head, but couldn't remember how."
The Jets were trailing by 6-0 before Byrd's injury. They went on to give up two touchdowns to the Chiefs and lost, 23-7. The Jets dropped to 3-9; the Chiefs now have an 8-4 record.
But the circumstances of the loss became inconsequential after Byrd's injury, which clearly took the Jets out of their game.
"Any time you see a guy laying on the field like that, it's got to affect you," said Jets Coach Bruce Coslet. "When I was playing, one of my teammates, Ken Dyer, tackled John Brockington in Green Bay and ended up laying in the hospital at Green Bay for 10 months. It was a flashback situation for me. We hope you don't jump to any conclusions about Dennis. He's one tough son of a gun."
The Jets suffered other injuries, but those were dwarfed by Byrd's condition. Running back Blair Thomas, who has missed three of the last four games with a groin and hip injury, went out in the first quarter with a sprained knee. Quarterback Ken O'Brien reinjured his right thumb and was replaced in the second quarter by Browning Nagle, who was benched last Wednesday. Tackle Irv Eatman went out with a sprained ankle in the third quarter. Cornerback Erik McMillan went out with an injured hamstring in the fourth quarter.
They will come back to play this season, perhaps next Sunday against the Bills in Buffalo. But at the conclusion of this afternoon's game, no one was sure what the future held for Byrd. His injury came two days after Jets receiver Al Toon retired from the team because of lingering effects of a concussion he suffered against Denver three weeks ago.
The Jets' players were still shaken after the game. The locker room was closed for 20 minutes as players composed themselves. Many players, visibly upset, waved off advancing reporters. With tears welling up in his eyes, rookie defensive tackle Mario Johnson, who grabbed Byrd's hand and spoke to him on the field, talked optimistically of Byrd's walking into the Jets locker room at Hofstra University soon, clinging to the hope that all of the Jets players now have for their injured teammate.
"It's a tough situation," said Jets linebacker Kyle Clifton. "You hope for the best and expect the worst." Merserau Remains Behind
Mersereau still sat on a training room table long after all the other players had dressed and left. Finally, he emerged from the training room and sat at his locker, which is adjacent to Byrd's, surrounded by cameras and reporters. He waved off the crowd and went back into the training room to dress.
Later he talked to one reporter about what happened. He said he and Byrd were rushing Krieg on a stunt -- with Mersereau coming from the quarterback's left and Byrd coming from Krieg's right. Krieg stepped up in the pocket to avoid the rush. Mersereau got a hand on Krieg, who fumbled the football. As Krieg pulled away from Mersereau, Byrd's helmet and shoulder slammed into Mersereau's chest.
"I didn't know who hit me, but obviously it was Dennis," Mersereau said. "At the last second I saw something coming. He hit me in the sternum. It was pretty hard. It was enough to bend me over backwards. It knocked the wind out of me. I had no knowledge of what was going on initially, because I was gasping for air.
"It wasn't until later when I came off on the sideline that I saw them take him away."
Mersereau returned to the game after a few series, trying to put the incident out of his mind. Schottenheimer Takes Offense

You've just arrived home with your newborn. How, exactly, can you tell what his needs are so that you can more successfully soothe him?
Even though it's not always simple, you are likely to find that after a few days you notice that every time your baby starts to fall asleep he has a characteristic cry.
Or maybe he'll have a certain wail that stops as soon as he is fed. Once you start picking up on these cues and responding accordingly, your baby will take comfort in knowing that he's able to communicate with you, at least some of the time.
If you can't identify the cry, consider the last time your baby ate, slept, or had his nappy changed. If it has been a few hours, it may be time again to tend to each of these needs.
Here are some other techniques to try if your baby just won't stop crying.
Get professional help. Most books save the worst-case scenarios for the end of the list. If at any point you feel that your baby is simply inconsolable or crying for longer than you're comfortable with, or if he seems sick or has an unusually high-pitched cry, then by all means enlist the expertise of your pediatrician without delay - that's what they're there for!
Soothe yourself. Let's assume you've evaluated your situation and don't think it warrants a doctor's intervention. The next step is to take a deep breath and try to relax. Babies can pick up on stress around them and may start to cry if they get negative vibes.
Sometimes the best first step you can take is to calm down, even if that means putting your crying baby in a safe place and giving yourself a quick break first.
Stay snug and secure. Try swaddling your baby snugly. The way we reason it, newborns have all spent 9 months (give or take) accustomed to feeling snug and secure in the very close quarters of the uterus. By simulating this cozy feeling of confinement, the swaddling technique often helps with crying as well as with sleeping.
Keep things moving. Every newborn who's spent any amount of time in utero is simply not going to be born accustomed to sitting still. As a result, you may find that yours takes a while to buy into the notion that the absence of movement and activity can be pleasant and peaceful.
In the meantime, you can try the time-tested methods of movement such as carrying, rocking, strolling, or driving to appease your crying or restless newborn. Vibrating infant seats and baby swings also serve the purpose of keeping your baby comfortably moving as well. Just keep in mind that you'll want to always secure your baby according to instructions, keep an eye on him while you're using them, and look for features designed to accommodate newborns (additional recline, harnesses that adequately secure small infants, low settings on automatic swings, etc).
Supply simple sound effects. Your baby may also crave the soothing muffled noises similar to amniotic fluid waves or the swishes and pulses of mom's heart and blood vessels. You may find the sound of a vacuum cleaner, washing machine, shower running, or human heartbeat (hold him against your chest or play a tape of heart sounds) works wonders.
For some of these efforts, you will also have the added bonus of a cleaner house, clothes, or body! Whether you're musical or not, try singing or playing some music. Some parents find their newborns seem to be particularly soothed by music played or sung to them even before they were born!
Opposites attract. Feel your baby's hands and feet. If they are cold, put on another layer of clothing or wrap him in a blanket. If the back of his head and neck are warm or sweaty, remove a layer (and consider checking his temperature).
See if he's interested in a change of scenery. If it's bright, turn off the lights. If it's dark, turn some on. If it's very noisy, turn down the volume. If it's unusually quiet, try out some of the simple sound effects mentioned previously. Too still? Move around. Bottom line: no actual science involved here - more a matter of finding and fine-tuning your own simple calming solutions.
Hand off. If others are around, enlist their help until you're ready to try again yourself.
Give it time. If all else fails, just hold your baby and patiently wait for him to settle down. Crying in and of itself won't hurt your baby, so if you're not in a mindset to handle it, it's OK to let your baby cry for a while. If you're at your wit's end and need a break, don't feel guilty about putting him in a safe place (such as a cot or buckled into a car seat) while you compose yourself.

Anglican Orthodox Church
Worldwide Communion
The 1928 Book of Common Prayer served the Episcopal Church for fifty years, from 1928 until 1978. The 1928 revision was very extensive - perhaps the most radical U. S. prayer book revision until that of 1979. Some of the many changes from the previous 1892 book included dropping liturgies of rather outdated theology, such as the Visitation of Prisoners; the three baptism rites were combined into one; and several changes were made to the Communion service, including further deemphasis of the Decalogue, and rearrangement of the Lord's Prayer and the Prayer of Humble Access back to the position they had in the Prayer Book of 1549.
Below you will find links to smaller and very specific portions of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. If you prefer, you can download a larger file that includes the entire revision in one complete document.

Stomach flu, sometimes called gastroenteritis, is inflammation of
the stomach and intestines. It can be caused by a viral, bacterial, or a
parasitic infection, but it is not caused by the influenza virus.
The symptoms of gastroenteritis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal
(belly) cramps, diarrhea, fever, and weight loss.
Stomach flu usually goes away without medical treatment in 1 to 2
days. Home treatment can relieve the symptoms of stomach flu and prevent
problems, such as dehydration.

Trent Batson writes about research collaboration in the ephemera of Web 2.0
"Part of research now is not just the research, but keeping abreast of new collaboration technologies. We all need to be ethnographers."
An ethnographer gathers information about everyday life so they can understand how and why people do what they do. I am an ethnographer (this picture provides some proof of that or, explains the origin of the humungous line I have running between my eyebrows). I didn't always think like an ethnographer as an educator/trainer in the field as much as I do now, as a researcher. I should have. Perhaps I just didn't think about it as consciously as I should have.
What is the ethnographic study of learning in the workplace?
It is the examination of the ways in which work gets done. It leads to the identification of the kinds of new collaboration technologies people could benefit from. It results in you making recommendations for tools that can provide support. Some thoughts on how you incorporate ethnographic study into your practice…
- Step back from the problem. Observe people in their job and then step back from things and see it as a foreigner would. How are people interacting with their environment?
- Know people. Immerse yourself in your learners environment and take "fieldnotes.†I am always amazed at what I learn. What you think you know about the environment is often not accurate and is forever changing.
- Talk to people. Conduct informal interviews with individuals and groups. Ask questions. Get out of your L&D cubicle.
- Look for trends. Ethnographers analyze and identify patterns and trends even if they don't like what they see. This type of thoughtful analysis saves a lot of time and heartache.
You can do this in the online environment too. How are people interacting? What work are they doing? It's been called webnography, a portmanteau of web and ethnography. This type of research also goes down the road of Internet marketing and, at least among researchers, has its critics because it lacks some common practices of traditional ethnography. Jenny Ryan writes about webnography. I just started following her work.
Now I'm wondering if I could add ethnographer to my job title…more interesting conversations about 'what you do?'

PHOTO: Oakland Coliseum before Mount Davis
Once upon a time, fans at the Coliseum in Oakland had a view of the area surrounding stadium.
Most fans these days probably know the O.co Coliseum in Oakland as the bland, concrete-surrounded ballpark it is today. It's not exactly one of the game's most aesthetically pleasing buildings, that's for sure.
Many names and many years ago, the Coliseum actually had a view of the surrounding area and hills. That was before Mount Davis -- the large section of seats in center field, sarcastically nicknamed after late Raiders owner Al Davis -- was added in 1996, completely enclosing the stadium. Here's what the place looked like before Mount Davis:

Now that looks like a baseball stadium. It's a shame that view is a thing of the past.

A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas:
US oil futures barely moved ahead of the weekly US inventories report, while traders watched rising Ukraine-Russia tensions and digested the OECD's lowered global economic growth forecast.
The US benchmark, West Texas Intermediate for delivery in June, added a mere two cents from Monday to settle at $99.50 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Brent North Sea crude for June fell 66 cents to close at $107.06 a barrel in London.
Traders anticipate the Department of Energy's weekly stockpiles report on Wednesday to show another increase in commercial oil inventories, after stockpiles hit a record 399.4 million barrels last week.
The market was especially eager to get the gasoline stockpiles data, hoping for a decline, as the US summer holiday driving season approaches, said Carl Larry of Oil Outlooks and Opinion.
Gold prices slipped as investors took profits from the previous session's three-week high.
Gold for June delivery, the most actively traded contract, closed down 70 cents, or 0.1 per cent, to settle at $US1,308.60 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Prices for the precious metal settled at $US1,309.30 an ounce Monday, the highest close since April 14.
Investors have been seeking out gold as the conflict in Ukraine escalates, believing gold would hold its value better if the conflict spreads and other assets decline in price.
While fighting continued in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday, some investors saw Monday's gains as an opportunity to cash in.
In other precious metals, palladium rose 0.2 per cent to close at $US818.40 a troy ounce, its highest level since August 2011.
Platinum rose 0.7 per cent to $US1,458.10 an ounce.
Silver ended higher for a third session, recovering from nine-month lows. Silver for June delivery closed up 0.4 per cent at $US19.645 a troy ounce.
Copper futures were slightly lower at the close of London Metal Exchange trade, dented by concern over Chinese demand for the metal after some weaker than expected economic data from the country on Monday.
The LME's three-month copper contract was down 0.04 per cent at $US6,716 a metric ton.
The HSBC Chinese Purchasing Managers' Index for April printed at 48.1 Monday, weaker than the initial reading of 48.3.
The LME was closed Monday for a UK public holiday, so Tuesday was the first chance for London markets to react to the data.
China is the world's top consumer of base metals like copper.

Last week, I learned (via Twitter, duh), that Dodson, who became (internet) famous when his rant to the local news was remixed by The Gregory Brothers into "The Bed Intruder Song," has already begun filming a reality show based upon his move from the Alabama projects to West Hollywood (of course). This should make for good television, as Dodson is charming (in both the southern and gay sense), has enough (gay) slang to keep the allegedly hetero masses tuning in weekly for lessons, and looks fierce in a pair of women's jeans.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/2/2013 (1654 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- With its annual meeting looming and its stock on the decline, Apple is facing a rebellion from an influential investor who wants the company to stop stockpiling cash and give it to shareholders instead.
Greenlight Capital said Thursday it is suing Apple in a New York federal court over the company's proposal to make it more difficult for it to issue preferred stock. David Einhorn, who heads the investment fund, said the proposal would close down one avenue for Apple to reward shareholders with more cash.
Preferred stock is designed primarily as a way for companies to deliver a fixed income to shareholders. It differs from common stock, which generally doesn't promise a regular flow of income but rather is a wager on a company's long-term growth.
Apple is still the world's most valuable company, but its stock has lost 35 per cent of its value since September, as it's become obvious its once-rapid growth has slowed. The company is fabulously profitable, and Wall Street wants the company to share more of that money with its shareholders rather than tucking it away in low-yielding bank accounts.
"Apple has $145 per share of cash on its balance sheet. As a shareholder, this is your money," Einhorn said in a letter to the company. He has a history of criticizing companies publicly, often after shorting their stocks.
In a statement Thursday, Apple said its management and board continue "active discussions" about what to do with the money, and it will take Einhorn's proposal into consideration.
Its $137 billion in cash makes up nearly a third of Apple's stock market value. Shares of the Cupertino, Calif., company closed Friday at $474.98.
Corporations normally don't hoard cash the way Apple does. They keep enough on hand for immediate needs and either invest the rest in their operations or hand it out to shareholders in the form of dividends or stock buybacks. If they need more cash for, say, an acquisition, they borrow it.
Einhorn told CNBC on Thursday Apple was acting like his grandmother "Roz," who grew up during the Great Depression. People who've experienced financial trauma, he said "sometimes feel like they can never have enough cash."
Roz was so careful about saving money, Einhorn said, she never left messages on his answering machine out of concern she'd be charged for the call.
Einhorn's criticism hints at Apple's lean years in the mid-90s. Former CEO Steve Jobs came out of that experience with a very tight hold on the company's purse strings. Apple has never explained its reasons for hoarding the cash other than to say it is preserving its options. Since Jobs' death in October 2011, Apple has begun paying a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share and started to repurchase some of its shares.
Analysts say the company should be doing more if it wants to lure investors back to its shares. Stuart Jeffrey at Nomura Securities calculates Apple will generate about another $103 billion over three years to add to the $137 billion it has now, but it has only committed to returning $45 billion of this $240 billion in total cash to shareholders.
Wall Street didn't complain much about Apple's hoarding policies until its revenue growth started slowing. In the recent holiday quarter, Apple's revenue rose 18 per cent from a year ago -- a very good figure for a company of its size, but a far cry from the 50 per cent-plus increases it has often posted since the 2007 launch of the first iPhone. Apple hasn't launched a new ground-breaking product since the iPad in 2010, so the company is forced to expand the appeal of its current products to achieve growth.
The slowing growth has scared away investors who focus on fast-growing companies, and the relatively small dividend means the company doesn't get much respect from investors who look for regular income, analysts say.

President Barack Obama has signed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, endorsing into law military spending policy for fiscal 2012. The contentious bill has made waves across the country for its provisions that allow for indefinite military detainment of suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens on American soil.
The bill provides for $554 billion for the military's base budget and $116 billion in overseas contingency operations spending.
Obama issued a signing statement in whch he detailed his reservations about provisions related to mandatory military detention of suspected terrorists, potentially including American citizens.
"Ultimately, I decided to sign this bill not only because of the critically important services it provides for our forces and their families and the national security programs it authorizes, but also because the Congress revised provisions that otherwise would have jeopardized the safety, security, and liberty of the American people," Obama wrote in the signing statement.
Obama signed the bill on Dec. 31, 2011.

Foster's comments above says it all for how divided this president has made this country. "Theres another $700 billion welfare check written to the ruling elites of the the military/defense corporations and oil companies…" This country owes a lot to the people who served in the military and those who have worked for the so called evil defense corporations. Yeah let's just give everything to education and social programs because they are working out so great! We spend more money on education (average 9k per student/per year) and our children are still losing ground to the rest of the world. Social programs, Really! There is so much fraud across the board it's a joke. Millions of dollars are going to the deceased or bogus claims, but let's spend more money. Here is a new approach, let's stop politicizing EVERYTHING and clean up both ends of the spectrum! Instead of blaming each other we could try and actually fix something, but then who could we point fingers at if did just that?
the press, as far as i can see, hasn't even made a peep about this. but if it were signed into law by a republican they would raise wholly heck about it.
what next!!?? "big brother"?
We spend 5 times the current military budget on health care. The FDA has allowed foods that are unhealthy for Americans to eat and they get cancer which is very expensive to treat. We can survive financially if we would all significantly reduce the amount of animal protein we eat to 5% of total protein intake and eat more beans, fruits and vegetables and eliminate milk from the diet. This has reversed heart disease and is proven but we still want the dollar menu at the fast food joints because it is quick and convenient. We need to eat local and eat organic if we want to be healthy otherwise you significantly increase your chances of getting cancer. Cancer is an epidemic and we need to take action now. I suggest you watch "forks over knives" and you will learn about how eating is directly related to health.
Theres another $700 billion welfare check written to the ruling elites of the the military/defense corporations and oil companies that come straight from the American taxpayer, much of which will be wasted on fraud, inefficiency, waste, overseas oil, and unecessary corporate excess.....and, we have a dent in the Constitutionally granted civil rights kicker. The greatest transfer of wealth the world has ever known....the United States military. How much are we going to spend on all education and social programs combined in 2012?
This is an embarrassment to all that our founding fathers fought and sacrificed for. They wrote provisions into the constitution to prevent these very things because they were victims of such tyranny.We have come to an age in which our democracy has turned against its own citizens. Don't like your neighbor, just "inform" on them: no right to face your accuser, no right to see the evidence against you, no write to a jury trial of your peers, no right of Habeas Corpus. Just indefinite imprisonment for as long as the government wants to use trumped up charges against you, for any reason. Mark your calendar, 2011-12-31, the day the Constitution was stabbed in the heart. 2012 is the end of the world as we have known it. And for what, to protect some squatters in a foreign country?

Illegal Ivory Trade
23.02.2009 - 23.02.2009
View South Africa, Botswana & Zimbabwe (Johannesburg - Vic Falls) - 15 Feb to 2 Mar 09 & Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho & South Africa (Vic Falls - Cape Town) - 2 Mar to 12 Apr 09 on hilarywh's travel map.
China's booming economy is still fuelling the black market trade in elephant tusks and rhino horn. When the ban on the ivory trade was implemented in the 80's, 1kg of top quality ivory sold for US$ 100 and in 2006 it sold for US$ 750. The UN continue to support the ivory ban although a one off agreement in 2007 allowed a one off sale of government stock piles in SA, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe allowing local communities to benefit from ivory sales in regions where elephant numbers were rising.
Chobe is home to 150,000 elephants! 3 times more than the park can reasonably support. The park has been granted approval to cull 50,000 over the next few years, a sad but very real reality. If the animals are not culled they will destroy so much of the park that other species (plant and animal) start to suffer. Entire herds have to be wiped out at once and each heard is carefully selected and humanely shot by the National Park rangers employed to protect them. The ivory will not be sold but instead stockpiled by the government. This raises the immotive question of whether it should be sold to the international market? If not, will elephants continue to be killed for their tusks in areas of Africa that already have a dwindling population?
The tusks of an elephant are like teeth and it would be impossible to remove them without killing the host animal. Rhino's on the other hand are like nails and can be cut off. They grow back approximately 4cm a year and in a bid to protect the Rhino, park rangers at Motobo NP in Zim told us they made a proposal to harvest the horn. The process takes less than a few minutes to dart the animal, saw the horn and administer an antidote and it could potentially be performed 4 times in an average Rhino lifetime. The money raised would be used to protect the species, creating Rhino reserves and ultimately saving them from extinction. But again, would supply increase demand thus fuelling the illegal trade.
Tough questions and conflicting opinions. After hearing the pros and cons, mainly put forward by conservationists dedicating their lives to protecting these animals, I still find it hard to make up my own mind. Maybe instead the answer is to eradicate the Eastern buyers!
Could you kill one of these, then hack off it's tusks?

Soumis par Jules
Rhum-raisins j,ai adoré, vanille et sorbets sont super bons. Il manque une grande terrasse pour se prelasser au soleil en dégustant sa creme glacée, mais ya un parc pas trop loin sinon.
Il n'y a rien de mieux qu'une bonne glace du Bilboquet un après-midi d'été!
La meilleure glace en ville!
Bilboquet is famous for having some of the best ice cream in Montreal. It is amazing to see line ups outside of this location on most hot summer evening ( but WAY worth the 10 minute wait and just goes to show that Bilboquet is the place to be at!)
They have a location on Sherbrooke in Westmount as well and a temporary location in the old port. If you have not tried it yet DO IT!
Bilboquet Inc offers these services: dairy bar, ice cream parlor, ice cream, ice cream cones, frozen desserts.
When the line stretches down the block virtually year round, you know the place has something good to offer. In this case, it's ice cream. Made in-house, the ice cream varieties are often unusual, depending on what sorts of fruits are in season and what the staff feels like making. Smooth and dense, and packing a wallop of flavor, this is ice cream that deserves every accolade it gets.... plus

New Haven woman gets 4 years on drug charge, murder charge was dropped
Slain main's family says woman set up city man to be robbed, killed
Published 3:36 pm, Friday, April 25, 2014
New Haven >> After hearing Kenneth Bagley's family charge that Mary Pearson "set him up" to be robbed and killed, a judge Friday said he could not "sentence on speculation" and so ordered Pearson to serve four years on narcotics charges.
"The state can't prove she set him up," said Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Clifford. "We'll never know for sure what happened. I can't sentence the defendant on what the family believes in their hearts."
Clifford and Assistant State's Attorney Stacey Miranda noted Pearson voluntarily testified against Maurice Beverley, who was subsequently convicted by a jury of felony murder for Bagley's death and received a 75-year prison sentence.
Another defendant, Eric Brooks, pleaded guilty on lesser charges than felony murder to avoid a trial and is serving a sentence of 32 years.
Defense attorney Donald Cretella said outside the courthouse that Pearson, 23, probably will be released from prison within the next week or two because she has been incarcerated for the past three years and four months and these are nonviolent drug offenses.
Bagley's father, Kenneth Boykin, said after court adjourned Friday his family is upset because Clifford could have given Pearson a total maximum sentence of 15 years in prison on the drug offenses and interfering with an officer.
Boykin called Clifford's sentence "a smack in the face" against the victim's family. "She engineered the whole thing. Because she testified, it's all right?"
"The judge didn't care nothing about my son," Boykin said. "He was saying: my son's life didn't mean nothing."
Boykin added, "This is why so many kids are so easy to kill and conspire to rob: because they get a pat on the back when they testify."
Bagley, 31, of Hamden, was shot to death in April 2010 after Pearson phoned him and said she wanted to buy drugs from him. She testified that when Bagley was selling her the Ecstasy as she sat in his car on Derby Avenue, Beverley approached the car and put a gun to Bagley's head. She said Brooks got into the back seat.
Pearson said she fled, then heard gunfire. She said she had no idea the men were going to rob or shoot Bagley. Beverley and Brooks are her cousins.
In February, she pleaded guilty to possession of narcotics, conspiracy to possess narcotics and interfering with an officer.
Miranda said she dropped the felony murder charge against Pearson because the state would have been unable to prove it at a trial. Miranda noted Pearson did not receive immunity from prosecution for testifying.
Clifford's sentence: five years for possession of narcotics, suspended after serving two years; the same penalty for conspiracy to possess narcotics; and one year for the interfering charge. Because he made the sentence on the third charge concurrent, the total sentence is 10 years, suspended after serving four years.
Pearson, attired in gray prison sweatpants and sweatshirt, declined to say anything in court and showed little reaction during the emotional statements delivered by Bagley's family.
Bagley's mother, Bridgette Bagley, began her presentation by showing Clifford a large blanket inscribed with her son's smiling face.
"My son was a handsome young man," she said. "I believe he's in Heaven. He's my angel."
She noted her son had had a lot to live for, with five kids. "He made some mistakes in life," she acknowledged. "But he was not a bad guy."
Addressing Pearson directly, Bagley said: "My son, Kenny, was murdered because of you. I just want to know: what kind of person are you? What kind of mother are you? A mother with no heart!"
She said she hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past four years. "It still hurts. I lost my firstborn son and I miss him every day."
The victim's brother, Mario Boykin, said he appreciated Pearson's testimony in the Beverley trial "but she still needs to be held accountable for her actions. The definition of what she did is felony murder, no matter what counts are held against her now. She deserves a sentence for felony murder."
Boykin told Clifford that any sentence less than the 15-year maximum would be "a slap in the face" for the family.
"She knew what was going to happen" that night, Boykin added.
The victim's father began his statement by turning toward Pearson and telling her: "Mary, you could have prevented this from happening. When you were handed the phone, all you had to do was say: 'Kenny, don't come.'"
"You want to go home and see your kids," he told her. "But he won't see his kids again until they go to heaven."
Miranda said she is well aware of the family's suffering. But she said of Pearson, "her testimony was instrumental in bringing down one of the people who shot Mr. Bagley."
Cretella told Clifford that Pearson's willingness to testify also motivated Brooks to accept a plea arrangement and receive his prison sentence.
"She does have a bright future," Cretella said, "and an excellent family behind her."
Miranda had no comment about the sentence after court adjourned.
During his comments outside the courthouse, Cretella echoed Clifford's statement that only Pearson, Brooks and Beverley know what really happened that night. "I tend to believe Mary's version," Cretella said. "She was buying drugs and the two men took advantage of the situation. And she had no idea what was going to happen."
Cretella described Pearson as "a kind-hearted person with a drug problem."

Mularkey Able to Juggle Family, Football [12:16 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I do travel a lot back and forth to Pittsburgh to make sure I'm involved in my sons' lives," Mularkey said. "I'm probably a little more physically drained because of that, but I try not to let that carry over to coaching. When I'm in Buffalo, this is my job and I've learned how to separate the two."'
Bills stop talks for three veterans [8:54 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills had sent out initial contract offers to the agents for tackle Jonas Jennings, defensive end Aaron Schobel and defensive tackle Pat Williams earlier this spring. All three will be free agents in March 2005. However, negotiations have not gone far. The Bills faxed out letters last week that said they were suspending negotiations for the time being, according to two NFL sources.'
Ex-Steeler Gildon may fit Bills [5:24 AM]

It was comforting to hear those comments and hopefully, maybe this will be the stop.�'
Bills Speak To Gildon [5:23 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"Winning definitely plays a role in the decision making process," Gildon said. "I really don't want to rush my decision, but I'm definitely looking to make a decision pretty soon.

Transcript: Jason Gildon Q&A Session [5:10 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'I was fortunate enough to be in Pittsburgh his whole time there. Mike's a great guy. He's a guy I get along with and as far as coming here to Buffalo, it's always nice to go somewhere where you know someone. I know him and a few guys he brought with him as well as a few players I had a privilege to play with. It helps, anytime you're out there looking for somewhere else to start over. It always helps to see a familiar face, someone you know. Someone that has gone through the same things you've gone through, and can relate and just ease the transition. From that standpoint, it definitely helps.'

BuffaloBills.com reports: 'After returning back to his home area of Ft.

Bills Alumni Spotlight: Chris Spielman [1:23 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I think that people respected the decision that I made," Spielman said. "It was an easy decision to make, but it still felt like you were letting people down. I certainly made the right decision, don�t get me wrong. I felt like the people in Buffalo, for the two years, treated me great and I loved playing there and being a part of it, but I still felt like I let them down. I guess it justified my decision to not play football, because I got a standing ovation. It made me feel good, obviously. I guess that I was accepted as a Buffalo Bill."'
Gildon meets with Bills [5:24 AM]

Inside slant [5:05 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'Gildon, who excelled in a 3-4 alignment, could be a pass rusher off the edge in a 4-3 but the Bills expect to get more out of Jeff Posey (5.5 sacks) in that role now that he's got a year under his belt in Jerry Gray's system.

"The best guy who can do the job on each play will be on the field."'
Bills Team Report [5:03 AM]
The Sporting News reports: 'SS Coy Wire is getting a look at free safety. Wire, who's physical and instinctive, is competing against starter Izell Reese. Wire must prove he has the range and know-how to pass Reese, a smart player who's rangier than Wire but not as physical. Whoever starts must make more big plays.'
Rough week for Parcells [9:46 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'Despite his problems in the last year and a half and the fact that the Bills picked another quarterback in the first round of this draft, Drew Bledsoe is still Buffalo's quarterback of the present, at least in the estimation of ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski. ``I probably looked at 10-12 Bills games last year,'' said Jaworski, a former Pro Bowl quarterback with the Eagles. ``I saw no decline in his physical talent, his ability to throw the football and throw ropes 40-45 yards down the field.'' As Jaworski sees it, Bledsoe will get better once his protection improves.'
Mularkey's new broom doesn't do much sweeping [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Changing head coaches plus half the starting lineup usually is a prescription for a rebuilding year. So that's either very good news for Mularkey or the Bills are overestimating their roster.'
NFL's Trey Teague organizing camp for fellow 'trench warriors' [5:22 AM]
Jackson Sun reports: 'All that experience is something Teague has wanted to share with area high school players for several years. After much planning, he's finally worked out dates for a football camp for linemen and tight ends on July 16-17 at USJ from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

LaCarte wants shot with Bills [5:21 AM]

Bills Counting on Vincent [5:19 AM]
RNews.com reports: '"I don't think I played with a better group of defensive players. You got some good talent there and that was really the main reason why I landed here in Buffalo."'

Blinde Vinken
READY IN: 1hr 20mins
Top Review by Bergy
I think there are many variations on Blinde Vinken and I took a couple of liberties with this recipe- Veal is very expensive so instead of the veal cutlet on the out side I used paper thin slices of prosciutto to cover the ground veal . I added fresh mushrooms to the pan. Otherwise I followed the recipe and they turned out beautifully. A nice change Thanks Carol
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 oval- shaped thin veal cutlets
- salt
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 slices dry white bread
- 1⁄4 lb lean veal, ground
- 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper, freshly ground
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup fine dutch rusk crumb
- 4 tablespoons sunflower margarine
- 8 lemon slices
- parsley, for garnish
Directions See How It's Made
- Sprinkle the veal cutlets with salt, and allow to stand in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Beat the egg yolks and soak the bread slices in them.
- Add the ground veal, peppers, nutmeg and the lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
- Divide this evenly among the 8 cutlets and spread on each.
- Roll the mixture inside the cutlets and secure each roll with a toothpick.
- Beat the egg whites with a little water and brush this mixture over each of the veal rolls.
- Cover each roll with Dutch rusk crumbs.
- Heat the margarine in a large frying pan.
- Brown each of the veal rolls, turning them occasionally.
- Remove them from the pan and set aside. Add a little water to the pan and stir.
- Put the veal rolls back into the pan and add the lemon slices.
- (You may have to add some more margarine at this point)

COLUMBUS, Ohio - It's estimated some five million Americans are battling Alzheimer's disease, but by 2050, those numbers are predicted to nearly triple.
Doctors say if Alzheimer's disease is caught in the early stages, they have a better chance of treating it. But studies show most Alzheimer's patients wait three to four years before being treated.
Now researchers have developed a simple test that can help spot problems early. It's called the SAGE test. That stands for Self-Administered Gerocognitive Exam. It's designed to detect early signs of cognitive, memory or thinking impairments.
Dr. Douglas Scharre and his team at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center developed the test. A new study shows it can reveal a lot about a patient's mind.
"What we found was that this SAGE, self-administered test, correlated very well with the very detailed cognitive testing," said Scharre.
Researchers gave the test to more than a thousand patients over five years and found nearly 30 percent showed early signs of cognitive problems they didn't know they had.
Some of the questions involve basic math, others test memory or ask test takers to identify common objects.
By repeating the test from time to time, doctors have an inexpensive and easy way to monitor their patients and detect even slight changes.
"If we see this change, we can catch it really early and we can start treatments much earlier than we did without a test," said Scharre.
The test doesn't diagnose diseases like Alzheimer's, but the study suggests it is an effective screening tool.
It's free to download the test, but you do need to take it to your doctor to have it scored.
To download the test, visit the SAGE website, and after agreeing to the terms and conditions you can take the test by clicking one of the yellow boxes.

Cannot Access Archive or Open Other Mail File In iNotes When Accessing Via Reverse Proxy (Which Does Not Rewrite Urls)
Technote (FAQ)
A customer was using two different dns domains for iNotes external and internal use through a reverse proxy. The customer found that iNotes works fine with multiple internet sites internally however when they try to open the archive link (and the archives are stored on a separate server) this does not work.
The archive link in the mail file always resolves to the internal server name which is listed in the server document=> For example it was resolving to notes.domain.local instead of notesserver.domain.com.
It was expected that the Server Domain was calculated based on the current Domain however this does not appear to be working. A similar problem exists when opening another users mail file if the mail file was not on the same server.
If using the notes.ini setting iNotes_WA_UseRelativeUrl=1 then the archive link in the mail file resolves to the external server name/domain however it opens to the url of the home mail server and not the archive server.
The notes.ini setting iNotes_WA_ArchiveUseHTTPHostName=1 is also not useful since different domain names would be used depending on internal /external access.
The customer was using a reverse proxy which does not rewrite url's. iNotes does not rewrite url's based on where user is entering from. It does it based on domino server documents. When using Reverse Proxy and Other Mail file iNotes sends back a browser 302 redirect to the home mail server of the other mail file that reverse proxies can rewrite.
This is currently working as designed however this issue has been reported as enhancement SPR # SDOY992FGG.
Note that as part of Domino 9.0 customers are now entitled to IBM Websphere Edge Network Dispatcher (IBM proxy) that can do rewrites.

As mobile devices become more integrated into daily life—and also become more expensive—gadget insurance is something that anyone who has purchased a device should consider. With sensitive data like bank account details, contacts' names and addresses, work-related emails, and other information now stored on most people's gadgets, the consequences of losing a device or even being without it for a few days are becoming more severe.
There are a number of gadget insurance options to chose from, so it is important to thoroughly research all available plans. Those considering insurance for a mobile device should ask themselves whether they are prone to losing their gadgets, commonly drop them, or have highly breakable devices. This will help them better understand when to consider coverage and what options to consider.
Most mobile carriers have an additional insurance option available for purchase along with mobile plans and handset devices. This option can be more expensive than third-party insurers, but it provides the convenience of all expenses rolling into one monthly bill.
Third-party insurers tend to be cheaper, but it pays to look closely at their fine print because not all plans protect against accidental loss or theft. Below are three of the most popular third-party insurers.
New research has shown that some of the most popular smartphone brands are also some of the most breakable. This means that even if users are very cautious with their phones and don't lose them or leave them in vulnerable places, they may still need insurance simply because their device is highly breakable.
According to internal research from Gazelle, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the most breakable devices. It claims the number one spot on Gazelle's top-10 list of most breakable devices, with a total of 30.07 percent of S3 handsets reported as broken; the Galaxy S4 is next on the list with 29.79 percent broken. The iPhone 3Gs comes in third with a 28.96 percent breakage rate, while other iPhone models between the iPhone 4 and 5s claim the next five spots on the list.
According to research from SquareTrade, however, the Apple iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy S4 are the most breakable devices. SquareTrade measured the breakability of different devices by dropping them from a specified height onto a hard surface and recording the results.
Both sets of research indicate that two of the most popular gadget brands in Samsung and Apple are also two of the most breakable; those 60 percent of Americans who use either of these brands should seriously consider gadget insurance for this reason alone.
As the price of popular gadgets increase, the best time to consider gadget insurance would perhaps be right after the initial purchase is made or mobile contract entered into. There is no use in waiting, given that accidents happen even to devices fresh out of the box, and the manufacturer's warranty sometimes does not cover such damage. Then there is the rising rate of gadget theft in the U.S.: it now accounts for one third of all robberies, which makes a compelling argument for insuring a gadget right from the get-go.
