We had the Early Bird menu last Friday evening and it was very tasty.
We both had the combination starter.
Hubby had the Mixed Thai Red Curry with boiled rice and really enjoyed it.
I had the Prawns in Chefs Special Sauce with Noodles. Very nice.
We both had Ice Cream and Coffee after.
It is great value at €19.50 a head and the service was excellent.
If we were down that area again, we would definitely eat here.

Best Value Lunch In Waterford
We had an excellent evening meal here. We went for the early-bird menu served from 5.30pm – 7.30pm at €19.50 for a 3 course meal. The meal was excellent I had the Jumbo Prawns with chef’s special sauce and the prawns were HUGE and very tasty. You will not get this size or quality of prawns elsewhere in Waterford. We went back again for the set lunch which has to be the best value lunch in Waterford at €12.50 for 3 courses. We went to a recently opened Italian restaurant for lunch in Waterford and the quality and value did not come close to this restaurant. The special red curry was excellent and the Chicken Garlic Chilli was excellent and while this is a Thai restaurant there are many dishes that are closer to Chinese. We have been coming here for lunch for the last 6 years and we still believe it is the best value lunch meal in Waterford. Refer attached menus.

Union Backs Legislation Requiring Automatic Sign Up for School Pension – DC37
Home » ABOUT DC 37 » Union Backs Legislation Requiring Automatic Sign Up for School Pension
Posted on May 26, 2017 by gheires in ABOUT DC 37, POLITICS, REGISTER TO VOTE // 0 Comments
City employees are usually enrolled automatically in the retirement system when they are hired. But that’s not true for many members of Board of Education Employees Local 372.
New Local 372 members are required to sign up. But many members who work for the Dept. of Education neglect to enroll and therefore don’t receive pension benefits when they retire.
District Council 37 and Local 372 announced their support of legislation, sponsored by New York state Sen. Diane Savino and Assembly member Nick Perry, that would automatically enroll members in the Board of Education Retirement System.
“Under the current enrollment process, too many of our members at the Dept. of Education have missed out on the full pension benefits they are entitled to,” said DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido.
Local 372 President Shaun D. Francois I applauded the Albany legislators for introducing the bill.
“We appreciate the support of Sen. Diane Savino and Assemblyman Nick Perry and the bill they introduced in Albany to make sure our members will be enrolled in the retirement system,” he said. “As many as 5,000 members neglected to register in the retirement system.”
“We hope to bring this bill to a full vote after the Memorial Day weekend,” said Savino.

Rise Above Reason: Tired of Being Victimized
Tired of Being Victimized
This has been an awful time for us. I can’t recall that in the past we’ve had to deal much with crime, but it sure seems we are being “victimized” in excess this year—so far!
It began in December with the break-in and vandalism of our rental home in Oregon. Thieves literally broke down the glass doors and frame, entered, and ransacked the house. More unfortunate is that the house was rented out at the time to a nice gentleman living a “normal,” simple, and honest life. Many of his valuables were stolen. The physical damage to the home cost us over $1,000 to repair. With a $1000 deductable and the fact we had just began a new policy with a new insurance company “that same day,” we were basically “screwed!
Then a few weeks back, a man in Lincoln City shot a police officer and fled. He was cornered and escaped into a housing tract in Waldport. The same tract we have our vacation rental home. We couldn’t allow our scheduled guests to enter the home so all reservations were cancelled for a week. Not only did we lose an estimated $700 in rents (needed to make the payment on the home), but our housekeeper and many others who work in this tract lost their income as did the businesses in town who rely on the tourists to provide their living.
Finally, this week while we are in California, a couple living upstairs from us moved out. In the process of moving, they illegally dumped appliances and furniture in the complex. My husband and I were approached once each for information on the couples activities. Neither one of us even knew of the happenings, but because we are staying directly below the couple, everyone assumed we did—including the couple who thought we were the sole reason they were in trouble—in other words—they thought we “narked” on them. They were mad and let the world know it! That night they made their final move out of the complex.
We woke in the morning to find our car gas cap had been removed. So what are we to think? We can’t start the car in case they put something in the gas tank. So here we go again…tow truck and $400 later to remove the gas tank and see if anything was done to it. I find it hard to be around young people who think the world “owes” them something.
So what’s up here? Is the world going mad? Or is it just dumb luck? It couldn’t be a worse time to have all these added and unnecessary expenses—for us—or anyone for that matter! I miss the days..that’s right, “the days.” Back when things were simpler, drug abuse was not such a huge issue, and crime was at a minimum. People worked hard for a living and were proud—and respectful of others who “deserved” respect. Not “Are you dis’n me?” from some 20 year old with a criminal record. Any comments?

Swank Boutique Online Blog: Rebecca Minkoff’s New Canvas Collection
Rebecca Minkoff’s New Canvas Collection
This fun and eye-catching canvas tote is a great size for an everyday work or school bag—perfect for the lighter duty summer school. Trimmed in black leather with thick leather handles, while simple and casual, like the eye test print on the front, the more you look, the more you see. I love the thinly braided leather rope and tassel tie hanging off one of the handles that I would love to wrap around my wrist sometime as a thick leather cuff and there’s something about the thin braided leather double shoulder strap that are so unique and I am uniquely drawn to.
Rebecca Minkoff Eye Test Canvas Tote - $150.00
This quirky canvas handbag features a trompe l’oeil graphic of Rebecca Minkoff’s iconic clutch, the MAC Morning After Clutch. All the signature details we’ve come to know so well are boldly printed in cream on a black canvas which pop against the matte gold hardware and chain. Worn as a crossbody, a shoulder bag or a chainless clutch this roomy bag is large enough to handle our everyday running around and still small enough that we’d have no problem wearing it out at night and we love it accessorizing one of this season’s bright colorblock ensembles. This is definitely one of our favorites in Rebecca’s new canvas collection and at $165 it’s a great opportunity for the budding Rebecca Minkoff lover to start her collection!

Papa Ron’s Spicy Pasta Sauce
Posted on August 7, 2007	by Ron Pavellas
Stepson Simon E-mailed me from where he lives and attends university in Växjö, southern Sweden. He needed the recipe for my spicy spaghetti sauce. It is the one dish I can call my own, and one that the whole family seems to enjoy. I hadn’t put the recipe in writing, only preparing it from memory and instinct, so I thought it a good time to record it for posterity and to help Simon with whatever grand social occasion he was planning.
My older, twin granddaughters usually call me Papa Ron, so I attached this name to the sauce. I usually make it in large amounts in order to freeze a portion for later use. Every time I cook a batch, it is a new thing. The ingredients are almost always the same, but not always in the same proportions. I do not have a strict recipe for them, but go as the whim takes me.
Typically, I add a lot of freshly crushed garlic to the meat (low-fat, high-quality ground beef) while it is frying, and prior to its placement into the main pot of sauce. So, you may correctly infer that there are three pots: one for the main body of the sauce, and one for frying the meat-with-garlic, and another, later, for boiling the pasta. I use a lot of meat, perhaps 500-750 grams, depending on the amount of other stuff.
On the frying of the meat: I like to replace, as much as possible, the beef fat in the meat with olive oil, while frying. If you wish to do this also here’s how: the frying pan should have a tightly fitting lid (preferably glass, so you can see what’s going on); when the beef is about halfway cooked (and the cook should constantly chop and stir the meat so it cooks as evenly as possible, to break it into the smallest pieces possible while combining with the fresh garlic), there will be juice released from the meat; drain the juice away (it’s not necessary to save it); do this again after it all has cooked some more (always with the lid on, except while stirring); after the second draining, add olive oil to your own satisfaction and cook the meat a little bit more, enough to get the oil and meat well-combined; it is now ready to be put into the main pot.
The main pot will have in it, first, a lot of crushed tomatoes, perhaps two liters or more, depending on the size of pot you have—-the bigger the better. Have on hand a tube or two of tomato paste to use later, if necessary, to thicken the final product. You can use flavored crushed tomatoes, but I think it not necessary.
Then, into the main pot put:
– One finely-chopped onion
– One-half to three-quarters of an average size habanero pepper, to your own taste. One whole pepper will be too much unless you are making 3 or more liters of sauce. THESE PEPPERS ARE EXTREMELY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES OR ANY MUCOUS MEMBRANE AFTER FINELY CHOPPING (OR SQUEEZING THROUGH A GARLIC PRESS) UNTIL YOU HAVE THOROUGHLY SCRUBBED YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS. If you use a garlic press, use a sharp knife to scrape and capture the parts of the pepper that cling to the surface of the press, where the materials extrude (use this same method for pressing garlic). For your first time, perhaps you should use 2-3 average size green chili (jalapeño) peppers instead, until you get more confidence with this key, but dangerous, ingredient. The same precautions for touching and washing apply here also.
– Perhaps two large carrots, chopped into pieces that are around ¼ of the cross-section of an average-size carrot, and about ½ centimeter thick. If you don’t like carrots, fuggeddaboudit.
– One large zucchini, chopped similarly as the carrots, but in proportionately larger dimensions. Use more zucchini if you like zucchini.
– Somewhere along the line, add some red wine. I use the wine (Chianti is good) to rinse out the tomato and other containers to capture all the juices.
– Add some pine nuts if you like them. Mushrooms too.
– Add anything else that seems right for your sauce.
– At the very end, add some chopped leaves of fresh basil, to your own taste, Use more, rather then less, because its flavor tends to be overpowered by all the others. You might instead sprinkle the uncooked, chopped leaves over the end product, just before serving.
After adding all the ingredients, including the meat, stir thoroughly and let simmer for around 10 minutes. Then, check the consistency of the sauce as it cooks, slowly, over at least an hour. Two or three hours is even better. If the sauce is too watery and needs to be thickened, add tomato paste and maybe a little more olive oil. If it needs to be thinned, add more wine. Use your imagination. Engage, emotionally, with your sauce as it cooks.
When the sauce tastes good enough to serve (you WILL be sampling it every ten minutes or so), boil up the water into which the pasta will go (third pot). If you can, use a pot that has the strainer inserted already into it, as part of the apparatus. Add a lot of olive oil so it floats across most of the top. This will add taste to the pasta and it will keep the pieces from sticking together, especially if you keep stirring it as it boils. Use the best pasta you can. Spend money.
If you want garlic bread with your meal, talk to me. This is the other thing that the family all demands, upon occasion.

Publication Date: 17 Oct 2002 | Series: Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
This book is a study of popular responses to the English Reformation. It takes as its subject not the conversion of English subjects to a new religion but rather their political responses to a Reformation perceived as an act of state and hence, like all early modern acts of state, negotiated between government and people. These responses included not only resistance but also significant levels of accommodation, co-operation and collaboration as people attempted to co-opt state power for their own purposes. This study argues, then, that the English Reformation was not done to people, it was done with them in a dynamic process of engagement between government and people. As such, it answers the twenty-year-old scholarly dilemma of how the English Reformation could have succeeded despite the inherent conservatism of the English people, and it presents a genuinely post-revisionist account of one of the central events of English history.

'What impresses me especially about this work is the way it tackles the vast array of intractable and often obscure primary sources. Shagan has proved to have an extraordinary nose for investigation in manuscript material; he has come up with some gems of neglected sources and has exploited them to the full. He has also acquired a sense of context: that indispensable sense of the shape of the English landscape, and how one area relates to another. In sum, this study will become a central statement in our understanding of the English Reformation.' Diarmaid MacCulloch, University of Oxford'This book deserves careful reading because it challenges many accepted views and offers us a new angle from which to understand these momentous changes in our island's history.' Contemporary Review'Shagan has presented a refashioned study of the ever-engrossing interplay between the governed and the governors of the early English Reformation.' Susan Wabuda, H-Albion'This is one of the most important books ever written in its field and a must-read for specialists and students alike.' History'… an important book … consistently intriguing.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History'Ethan Shagan's new study of the early years of the English Reformation is a tour de fource. What Popular Politics and the English Reformation attempts to do is to take on and defeat a number of the revisionist shibboleths that have become largely accepted within current historical thinking on the English Reformation. [This book] is an excellent volume, well written, polemical and persuasive - a real contribution to our understanding of the early English Reformation.' Reformation'This is unusually interesting, clever and learned book. … He must be congratulated on uncovering so much exciting and complicated detail on the huge canvas of sixteenth-century English religion.' Recusant History
This is a study of popular responses to the English Reformation, analysing how ordinary people received, interpreted, debated, and responded to religious change. It differs from other studies by arguing that even at the popular level, political and theological processes were inseparable in the sixteenth century.
The centrepiece and actualising principle of the English Reformation was not a theological doctrine, like Luther's justification by faith alone, but an act of state: in November 1534, after years of extorting concessions from parliaments and clerical convocations, Henry VIII was endowed with the authority of 'supreme head of the Church of England'.

An important and stimulating work.
Format:Paperback Ethan Shagan is to be congratulated on writing the first book of post-revisionist Reformation history.In a direct challenge to Haigh's view of the Tudor 'juggernaut' state imposing a 'political' reformation from above on an uninterested populace, this study teases out the degree of subtle interplay between the objectives of the state and the aspirations of the 'meaner sort'.By using concepts such as collaboration and accomodation Shagan is able to reveal the Reformation as part of the dialogue between the interests of the central authority and those of the populace generally, revealing the greater participation of 'the people' in the political process than has often been allowed.As such it is part of an important body of recent work by scholars such as Andy Wood, Tim Harris, Steve Hindle and Alistair Bellany which is helping to illuminate Early Modern politics and society in new and exciting ways.
- Published on Amazon.com Format:Paperback The fundamental question Ethan Shagan's book seeks to answer is how a government without a bureaucracy, police force, or standing army managed to affect the English Reformation. Shagan answers that it was an act of negotiation between the people and the government, an "act not done to the people [but] done with them" (25). Shagan's book represents one of the first post-revisionist attempts to understand the English Reformation. He eschews the most common questions asked by revisionist historians: To what extent was the Reformation a process of national conversion? Was that national conversion rapid from below or slow from above? When did England become a Protestant country? Instead of chasing these "phantasmagoric" questions, Shagan reconceptualizes the Reformation as "a piecemeal process in which politics and spiritual change were irrevocably intertwined" (7).To get at this process, Shagan examines court records, royal proclamations and propaganda, sermons, and theological tracts. Divided into three parts, Shagan's book looks at the political and social processes of Reformation from the Act of Supremacy (1534) to the end of Edward VI's reign in 1553."Popular politics" is a crucial term in Shagan's book because it identifies the locus where state and society negotiated Reformation. According to Shagan, revisionist historians have too often associated Reformation with theology, thereby leading them to discount the crucial process of politicization required for it to happen in the first place. Because the Reformation was an act of state, negotiated between it and the people, the concept of "resistance" is a problematic one. Instead, Shagan prefers to use the term "collaboration" to describe the interaction between the people and the government in making reform. However, just because it was central for the people to collaborate with the Tudor regime does not mean, according to Shagan, that the Reformation was popular. In fact, Part One, the Break with Rome and Crisis of Conservationism, goes to lengths to show that it was not. Chapter one, the most provocative of the three in this section focuses on debates over royal supremacy and argues that through its effective use of propaganda, the regime effectively politicized the Reformation making the prime issue not theology but loyalty. In doing this, the King divided opinion among between "conformist" and "non-conformist" Catholics, patronizing the former while making the latter traitors of the state.Part II, Points of Contact: the Henrician Reformation and the English People, is divided into three chapters and looks at anti-clericalism, the dissolution of the monasteries, and public religious debate. These well-worn themes of English Reformation historiography are reexamined by Shagan with the intention of "analyzing [them] within the context of popular politics" (133). In doing so, Shagan removes these questions from the theological framework in which they have traditionally been analyzed and examines them in terms of how the Reformation fundamentally reordered the assumptions, which guided social behavior. Here, the example of the dissolution and spoliation of the abbey of Hailes is instructive because he shows how the members of the once traditional community "internalized" the rhetoric of the Reformation and plundered a once sacred building.In part Three, Sites of Reformation: Collaboration and Popular Politics under Edward VI, Shagan looks at popular engagement with the Reformation during the Reign of Edward VI. In these two final chapters, Shagan most forcefully argues that the Reformation was brought about through a negotiation between people and state. He shows how the Edwardian government appealed to decidedly political and economic reasons in their quest for evangelical reform through the idiom of "commonwealth ideology." An especially interesting example, and one with which Shagan concludes his book, is the story of John Boller who was brought before the Star Chamber in 1550 for supposedly rejecting the king's authority to strip the parish altar at Highworth parish. However, according to a deposition made under oath, we find out that the real issue was not Boller's slandering of the King but the assertion of his right, as the farmer of the vicarage, to possess the recently dismantled altar stones. Shagan makes the point that in this case, the stripping of the altars does not represent all that was harmful and destructive in the English Reformation, as Eamon Duffy does, but shows how both individuals empowered themselves through co-opting the Reformation and how economic issues could be just as significant, if not more so, than confessional ones.

Good Affordable Cantonese Restaurant with Large Portion - China Yuan, Tampa Traveller Reviews - TripAdvisor
Good Affordable Cantonese Restaurant... - China Yuan
“Good Affordable Cantonese Restaurant with Large Portion”
Ranked #310 of 2,738 Restaurants in Tampa
We were there three times when traveling in the Tampa bay area for dinner. We were pleased with their Cantonese dishes in all visits. We ordered at least one hot pot in every visit. I especially like their braised fish fillet with bean curd. We also ordered lo-mein and pan-fried noodles but I would not try their version of pan-fried noodles again. The noodles were oil fried and topped with gravy and meat; that was not the traditional Cantonese preparation.
I also had their fish fillet congee and found them just as good as other similar restaurants in this area. The squid with sour mustard green was okay but not excellent, but I could have become picky at this point in our third visit.
Ask WheelingTraveler about China Yuan
All reviews dim sum duck lo mein noodles seafood authentic chinese nice pot of tea loose leaves eat chinese waters ave the tampa bay area an appetizer preparation
This was a great find for me. The reviews were good. The restaurant is in a little store front shopping center just north of Waters Ave. Service was good and efficient. The prices are good for the quality. The menu is extensive. The fried dumplings were very good and an appetizer plenty for 2-3 people. My wife had a seafood soup which she said was great. I had the Mu Shu Pork which was not the best I've had but is a hard to find item in Tampa. I really want to try some of their other dishes. Seafood is probably a good choice here as there is a tank with fresh seafood. A nice pot of tea with loose leaves was a treat. If you like Chinese, this is not your typical place and a far better choice than any buffet for a good price. I'll go back soon.

I've been to this place a lot for the right reasons . My cousin and I discovered this place from the owners brother of course . Lol . I've traveled extensively even to china and all over the states visiting Chinatowns in NY , San Francisco and its Chinese restaurants. In all my visits China Yuan consistently creates the most authentic Hong Kong style food but also the most flavorful. As a retired Executive Chef who knows a little about food I've always been impressed with the dishes . From the delicious black pepper short ribs to the salt and pepper pork chops . Looking at the hanging Roast Duck, Roast Pork and Chicken behind the counter will make you salivate .If you like fresh seafood there lobster , crabs and Fish to choose from the live tanks .Dim Sum on Saturdays is a must .You know it's the popular place for Asians when it's always busy during weekends and holidays . Yes, I'm Asian . Peter and Sue (I think their adoptive American names) lol , are the most gracious host . When you talk to Peter about food , he knows his stuff . If you're looking to tickle your tastebuds give it a try. Tell Peter that Kevin and Vince says hi.

The wait was not good considering we are not of the nationality. This was my first time having dim sum. I must say the food was amazing. You can understand the menu and order different things to try. Oh my is all I can say. Once you tart it is hard to stop. I will be looking for places to compare to this one.

Pushing the boundary | Tootlepedal's Blog
« Small choir, big choir
Oct 14, 2019 by tootlepedal
Today’s guest picture, like yesterday’s, comes from Canada but shows a different view of Thanksgiving Day there. Langholm exile Joyce sent me this view from her window in Ontario.
We had an altogether better day today here as far as the weather went, with not even a hint of a raindrop about. My plan was to make the best if the day by leaping up early and bicycling madly all day.
In real life, I got up rather late, had a leisurely breakfast and did the crossword and only then felt strong enough to get my bike out. For some reason, I am feeling a bit tired in general at the moment and far from bicycling madly about, I kept to a very steady speed indeed, especially when it came to going up hills.
And my route today had plenty of hills compared with my usual flattish outings. I headed north out of town and aimed for the county boundary twenty miles away at the top of a hill.
There were plenty of excuses to stop along the way to take pictures.
I liked these poplars….
…and there was an amazing crop of crab apples on a tree beside the road.
I followed the Esk to the point where the Black and White Esk rivers meet. (I stopped just so that I could take a Black and White picture in full colour.)
I then cycled across the bridge over the Black Esk and followed the White Esk to its source.
The road to Eskdalemuir up the west bank of the White Esk is one of my favourites. It is quiet, well surfaced and has gentle gradients.
My route took me through the village at Eskdalemuir and past the Tibetan monastery, where the stupa was sparkling in the sunshine.
The road climbs steadily to just over 1000 feet…
…so my bike was happy to have a rest while I ate a tuna roll at the county boundary.
I ignored the charms of the Scottish Borders and after a ten minute break, I pedalled back home through Dumfries and Galloway.
I took the same route home as I had taken on the way out as the alternative route down the east bank of the river has a very steep hill which my knees were not anxious to face,
On one of my stops for refreshment and rest, I looked back up the Esk valley. It appeared to be very benign in the gentle sunshine but it can be a harsh place in the winter.
Although there was quite a bit of cloud about, it was so thin that the sun shone through it it all day.
My route took me along the Eskdale Prehistoric Trail and I stopped at one of the sites while I ate a banana. There are information boards at the sites and some of the boards are more informative than others.
This one is unusually honest.
This is the natural amphitheatre. One of these days I am going down the path to try out the acoustics.
It has been a very good year for cones and these trees along the Esk at Bailliehill were dripping with them.
There was a little autumn colour here and there along the route and this tree beside the graveyard at Bentpath was the best.
I walked down to the river at the Bentpath Bridge but there are so many trees in front of the bridge that I couldn’t get a shot of the whole bridge and this glimpse through one of the arches was the best that I could do.
I pottered on gently and got home after 45 miles at very restful 11 mph. As I had climbed over 2000 ft on my way, I was quite happy to have got home at all.
Mrs Tootlepedal had organised an exhibition of her Embroiderers’ Group work in the Welcome to Langholm office in the morning, and she had done some good gardening in the afternoon, so we had both had a full day.
After a cup of tea, I wandered round the garden. Some plants were complaining that I had left them out of my review yesterday.
The most surprising is this hosta. It has sent up flowering stems from some very brown leaves.
The Icelandic poppies are still flowering in spite of poor dead heading from me.
And the lamiums haven’t stopped at all since March.
Another little rose has taken advantage of the continuing warmth.
The fuchsia by the back gate has produced a large crop of berries. Mrs Tootlepedal thinks that they might be edible but we are not going to try them.
My flute pupil Luke came and we put in some heavy work on developing his counting skills. It is obviously an area where I need to hone my teaching skills!
The flying bird of the day is a blackbird having a rest before a big night out on the tiles.

Your rides are much more scenic than mine,although when your flogging it up one of those steep hills the scenery is a secondary concern 😉

It was good to have a day without much wind for once.

It is an odd time for a hosta to bloom. It must be all that good compost.
It looks like your rivers are running low like ours are. I’ve seen streams and small ponds dry up.
Glad the knees held up for the ride. It was a good one.
on Oct 15, 2019 at 7:42 pm | Reply tootlepedal
I think the plants are as confused by the weather as everyone else. Our rivers go up and down very rapidly and after a couple of dry days, it is easy to forget how much it has rained lately. The ground is quite wet so it won’t take much to get the rivers up again.

You have some wonderful roads for biking and walking out there. The hosta blooming like that is unusual, but it has been a strange weather year for plants. My grape hyacinths have started coming up already.

That seems very remarkable. The hosta is hard to believe even when you are looking at it.

Lovely photos on your cycle ride with bridges, views and rivers to enjoy. Amazing amount of cones on those trees just right for decorations! After all the exertions earlier in the day you still had enough puff for flute playing and witticisms …remarkable!

According to the internet (so it must be true) quite a lot of people eat the flowers and berries. There is no accounting for taste.

The fuchsia berries are edible but not tasty. Bland.
The river junction is gorgeous and I love the view through the arch.
That is an especially interesting interpretive sign.

A simple e-commerce site for the registration of domain names
The project consists of a simple site where user can innoltrare the registration of domain names. The favorite CMS is WordPress.
The site must have a graphics simple but elegant, and will allow searching and see if they are available or already assigned domain names with the most available extensions.
The user will be able to create an account where will include domains registered, pending approval, deleted or put in the shopping cart.
They will also appear on the invoices paid and those still to be paid according to a price list that we defined in our control panel. There will also be the possibility of applying discounts.
Our control panel will list all registered domains, those ordered, invoices and customer lists.
The registration procedure will be made by us manually, then you will not need to add it.
Once we have entered a domain at registration as "registered" we should be able to send the invoice via email or print it. Payments will be made by bank transfer, so even this should not be created. But we must have the ability to define a paid invoice.
Last thing the site will allow us to create a shopping basket to propose a potenzile customer (eg conteneti domains with their name, the sector in which they operate, the names of their products, etc.).
We must be able to provide you with a username and password where he will be able to accept or resize connecting our proposal.
The site must be able to be published in several languages (Italian, English, German and French) and prior to each order the customer will accept the General condsizioni in different languages that we write from our lawyer (written manually without automatic translation).

pelagios – Archaeological Networks
Tag: pelagios
Funding: Pelagios small grants
Last year, Pau de Soto and I received a Pelagios small grant to develop Itiner-e . This small support allowed for the creation of a software platform and to explore an experimental idea related to linked open data. It was great, and created a whole new research line for me. I strongly encourage members of this list to propose projects for a small grant, it’s a great initiative. Check out more projects on the Pelagios blog http://commons.pelagios.org/blog/
Via Elton Barker:
We are happy to announce for 2019 a new series of small grants to fund continued development within the scope of Pelagios in the form of:
Resource Development (RD) grants, which aim to produce digital resources that are compatible with Pelagios linked data methodologies and that can be shared within the community;
Working Groups (WG), which focus on extending Pelagios linked data methodologies into new areas, and/or establishing best practice within the community.
Proposals for both RD and WGs will be judged according to their relevance to and usefulness for the wider Pelagios community. Deadline for all submissions is 1 April 2019.
If you are interested in either of these small grants schemes, please read carefully the following call and the related list of criteria below. Details can also be found on the Pelagios blog.
Please feel free to share widely. Any questions, email us: commons@pelagios.org.

A great Digital Humanities 2012 in Hamburg
This year’s Digital Humanities conference ended this weekend and it was a great success. The entire event was perfectly organised by the University of Hamburg. They even anticipated rain by providing DH-branded umbrellas. There was a record number of delegates, presentations were of high quality and the social events were a reflection of its host city’s image as a party capital and heimat of The Beatles. The University of Southampton was also well represented, with among others a workshop by Leif Isaksen and colleagues on modelling space and time in the humanities, a presentation on the Pelagios project, and one on Ptolemy’s Geography.
I myself did a presentation on my work with citation network analysis. I was also awarded an ADHO award bursary for young DH scholars.
As a first-time DH attendee I must say it is an awesome event organised by a vibrant and lovely community of friends. I would encourage everyone to attend future DH meetings.

Nights of neon and roses | what diana did next
Nights of neon and roses
How’s it going, blog peeps?
I’ve had a bit of a break from writing (here) recently, and to be honest from reading any blogs too. But I’ve just had a burst of sewing activity so it’s a good time to catch up.
This week is our fourth wedding anniversary – which has gone in frighteningly quick. And a special occasion calls for a special dress.
First, a warning: this fabric is bright. It’s brighter than bright. It is NEON. I believe it might glow in the dark. And to complement that delicate neon is the biggest print you’ve ever seen.
I bought it on sale in Mandors a few months ago (perhaps no-one else was prepared for the brightness?) and it sat gathering dust. Although I loved it, I found it hard to picture what it would become. Although I often buy fabric without anything specific in mind, I usually get a vague idea from it. This just blinded me every time I pulled it out.
What I did have though is the Cynthia Rowley pattern (Simplicity K1688) I used to make the jacket from my Portland fabric. The dress part of this pattern is really pretty and simple – and suddenly just clicked with the fabric.
Much like the jacket, this pattern is super easy to put together – it took maybe 2-3 hours at most, including altering and nipping in. The fabric is a printed cotton with plenty of stretch, so it’s super comfortable.
I’m not usually big on strappy dresses at the moment, but I like the proportions of this one a lot. I think the very clean, simple lines of the pattern show off the fabric – but they also kind of tame it a bit. Having said that, I’m looking forward to remaking this pattern in a plain, bold colour.
I also like the length, but I think I’ll also try one in kind of a midi length as well – I’m feeling this as a strong Christmas night out dress option once I find the right fabric.
After so long staring at this fabric, I love the dress it’s become. It makes me feel bright and fun, it makes me smile and just generally feel as happy as you should on your wedding anniversary.
Plus, it’s probably about as close to a dress Barbie would wear as I could get away with in this stage.
On the night itself we did a tour of some of our favourite haunts near Shawlands, before trying The Salisbury for dinner. If you find yourself on the southside of Glasgow looking for a meal, I couldn’t recommend this place more. The food is ridiculously good and they’re extremely polite if, like me, you forget your phone and have to go back ten minutes later (oops).
Oh, hello dinner.
Naturally I made Craig a matching pocket square… We’re just that couple.
What’s been on your sewing machine lately?
This blog title is inspired by this awesome Japandroids song.

I'd say most mango pits are about a 1/2", so make your first cut about 1/4" from the stem.
Try to slice evenly so you don't leave any of the mango goodness.
Now you'll want to turn your mango around and slice it about 1/4" from the stem again.
You can see that I didn't do a great job of keeping my knife stroke even... Don't be like me.
Now do that with all of your mango slices.
Cut into pieces and enjoy or use in a recipe.

Haha- I know that only the pieces stuck around the pit are supposed to be the "chef's treat," but I usually comandeer everything but the two cheeks as my "chefs treat," while I'm cutting. Yum. Ever had a champagne mango? They are to die, so sweet.
@ Meris: You're so welcome! It was fun to do ;)
@ Kathleen: Me too! The one I cut up for this post was gone in about 6 minutes with help from B!
@ Victor: Thank you ! I'm working hard to be a better photog... SO much fun.
@ Pam: hehe! Now if only I could keep my knife strokes even ?!
This is really helpful, I always get into trouble with mangoes and one of my daughters loves them.
@ Mary Shouvlin: That is funny!! Glad I could help.
@Mary: Thank you!! ...and I'm so glad you like my blog :D Welcome & Happy Cooking!!

claudeswife: July 2009
Well, we've been in Tampa (acutally, Brandon) since Wednesday. Claude's brother, Tony, is still on the ventilator. They say if they take him off right now, he would not breathe on his own for more than a minute and would not make it, so they are leaving him there right now. They have to do an EEG of his brain to check for brain damage, but they have to take him off of the meds in order to get a "real" brain scan (which makes sense, since the meds are dulling his brain right now). They can't take him off the meds quickly. They need him to slowly come out of the medically induced coma so that everything he's hook up to won't freak him out. It's a long process and still a critical battle, but at least he is stable and everything so far has been for the good (as far as change). My grandmother is still in the hospital at UCH. She is loopy right now from the meds they had her on. The general practice MD said they found a hiatal hernia, ulcers in her stomach, and some mild lesions. They believe this is what caused her to throw up blood, but the gastroenterologist was not making rounds while we were there so we didn't get anything definite from him. They will keep her a couple more days to monitor her. Our friends in Tampa, Brandon, Valrico, Greenville, Winterville...THEY ARE THE BEST! We have had so much going on that we haven't thought too much about anything else, but thank God, our friends have thought about everything else for us! Bethany - taking care of our home and "kids"! U have no idea how much that means to me to know I don't need to worry about the animals! Thank you and I love ya!Jason & Lora - holding down EVERYTHING while we are gone.

That was awesome man! We love you!Pastor Chuck - for coming to the hospital twice to check on us and see how Tony was doing!

We love you!My parents - for allowing us to come and go as needed. for allowing us to crash at the house and eat the food! for taking care of our needs financially! We love you so much and there are no words to say how thankful we are!The CROSSLINK youth group - for stepping up and taking over the "Kearley move"! We miss you all so much and love you guys! We are so proud of you and the way you serve others! 1 Timothy 4:12There are others that I know I haven't mentioned. Too many to remember them all, but we are so thankful! God bless each of you for the blessing you've been to Claude and me.We love you, Discovery Church! We'll be praying for you this weekend.
OK, my blog is MY BLOG...so I am going to blow off a little steam! Bear with me and hopefully, you'll be sympathetic to what I am saying! One of the hardest things to deal with being a pastor's wife is the "talk". You know what I mean! Let's all admit it! We've ALL talked about what our pastors are doing "wrong" and what needs to happen to "fix" the problems and issues going on in our churches. I admit that I've done it. I look back now and after walking just a short while in the "pastor's wife's shoes", I am SO SORRY that I ever did it. It's so difficult for me, the fighter, to sit back and keep quiet when people talk about Claude or people have issues with choices/decisions Claude makes. I can't even imagine what my sweet friend, Lora, must go thru. She's much more sensitive to others feelings than I am. Most of the time, when it's an issue with something in the church in general, my thoughts are, if you don't have any positive input on how to correct the situation, keep your thoughts to yourself and pray about it!!!!However, when the words are specifically directed towards Claude and what he "should've done", then I really get riled up! I love him and I know his heart. He tries with his whole heart to follow Christ. Yes, he fails sometimes. He IS human. However, I know that when he does make a mistake, he takes ownership of it. He's not afraid to say that he screwed up or it could've been done differently. So, people remember that God has called those in authority to be in authority. You may not always like what is done. You may not always agree. You may even have a better way (if so, share it!). But, if you're not praying for the leaders in your church and there are "issues" in your church, you might be contributing to the problems!
I have to say thank you to some people in my life that, I hate to admit this, but I haven't told them enough how much I love and appreciate them. So, I am going to do some of that now. There are dozens of folks that need a thank you, so if I don't mention you, please know that I am thankful for my friends!My Mom, I don't think that there are enough words or even the proper words to explain what my mother is. I know that she would deny it, but in my eyes, she is the epitome of a Godly woman. If I could idolize someone, it would be her. She loves her God, her husband, and her family with a fierceness and passion I admire! I love her so much!Lora, she's my encourager! I know she gets tired of being the strong one sometimes, but she keeps on going! She's my prayer warrior! I love her!Laci, the word for her is sweet! OK, sometimes annoyingly sweet!!!! I wished I could have such a sweet nature. She always has a smile and a kind word. AND, if she doesn't have a kind word, she bites her tongue! Wish I could do that!!!Lindsay, strong, resilient, kind! I have been blessed to see her grow over the last couple of years and she is a beautiful Christian lady! Hallelujah for the trials that come to purify us! YOU GO GIRL!Kim, thoughtful Kim! She's kind and she's always thinking of others. I admire and respect her so much for the way she cares about others. She has a true heart for people! Lisa, FEISTY! She just is! I love that Lisa tells it like it is and she's not afraid to be bold. She's learned how to be tactful and still be truthful! What a beautiful woman she is! Jennie, this woman is so gentle. Her words are kind and wise. She's truly a beautiful woman, inside and out. I admire and respect her!My dearest friend, Cindy. Man, do I miss her! I love her so much. She's my "Barnabas"! I can be completely myself with her, not hold anything back, and she's ok with it. She lets me cry, laugh, joke, be annoyed, be a jerk, (calls me on being a jerk!) be a girl! I don't think I'd be where I am today if it weren't for my friend, Cindy. I love her so much.
I am lying here in bed amazed that God could possibly love someone with so many flaws and so much "baggage". I was listening to a dear friend last night as she talked about how she always feels like she's never good enough at the things she does. I kept thinking to myself, "WOW! I'm not the only one who thinks that way about myself". As every year goes by, I am thankful for the time on this earth, but I question what I've done and what I've brought to those around me. I, like my sweet friend, sometimes think that I am so inadequate. I have always felt so "average". No aspect of my life truly stands out as extraordinary. I remember comparing myself to my younger brother and thinking that his life was so perfect and easy. He's brilliant (seriously, he IS brilliant! Top 10% of MENSA!) He is a natural leader. He's well liked by most who know him. He has a beautiful, sweet, kind wife and 5 gorgeous kids! Overall, to look at him you'd think he has everything any man would ever want. Well, I learned something last year about my little brother. He has always felt jealous of me and felt like I was the favorite of my dad. He opened my eyes to something I had never even seen. His "perfect" exterior covered up his inadequacies. He has obstacles in his life that challenge him. He struggles daily with things that I don't. So, I guess what I'm writing about is that we each have our own flaws and obstacles. Some are physical, some are mental, some might even be emotional. Whatever those obstacles are, as God's children, we are "fearfully and wonderfully made"! He has loved us with a Love we will never truly understand while we're on this side of eternity. You know why? Because God IS love. So, I will remind myself (and you should too) that if I am worthy enough for the King of kings to love me and care for me...how can I not love myself...flaws and all! I will continue to work at becoming more like Christ. But, when I fall down, I will cry a little while, then I will ask my Father to help me get back up and try again. I will keep on going! And hallelujah! When I get to Heaven, I will be PREFECT - Just like Christ!!!!Isaiah 40:31They who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings as eagles, they will run and not be weary and they will walk and not faint.

Straight out of nowhere – Life is how you live it…
There is one experience I have briefly touched on since I began this journey with my Blog. The time I began to develop Seizure activity in 2010. It is hard to believe it has been seven years since. Rather than getting every specific detail from my wife of what happened next, I’m choosing to share my first hand experience.
At the time, I was hard at work coordinating a large scale meeting for the company I was working for at the time. This meeting included, 40 Store Managers, District Managers as well as the Executive Team from the Home Office. I put a lot of planning into this meeting, arranging the venue, developing the talking points to be discussed as well as visual presentations. This sort of work is in my wheel house!! I thrive on working and creating such events. I do feel nervous beginning to facilitate, although once I get going I quickly am able to focus, simply enjoying myself! Large crowds do not intimidate me, even with the President and CEO of this Canada wide company in attendance. Unfortunately my colleague was comfortable in a different fashion. She was one who chose to fly by the seat of her pants, quickly and easily finding herself off topic. The night before the meeting I made sure all presentation equipment was functional, the hotel signage was up for the attendees and my notes were in order for the next day.
When I arrived home, I felt enthusiastic about the next day and tired as expected. Our daughter was only a few months old at the time so I ate and headed off to bed not knowing the next few hours were going to change the course of my life.
All I remember was my wife waking me up asking if I was alright. I remember her tone was very different from usual. I felt as though she woke me up from a very deep deep sleep. At first I didn’t know where I was, my wife asked if I knew my name, a question I vaguely remember not knowing the answer to. What seemed as only a few minutes turned out to be much longer in real life. She had left the room, then returned. She told me I had wet the bed with urine. I had the feeling of being incredibly drunk. When she tried to help me off the bed, we discovered together the immense difficulty I had in just moving from laying down to sitting upright.
The next thing I remember, my wife looked at my hands noticing I was bleeding. Later in the hospital we were told during the seizures I had clenched my fists’ so tightly my nails dug into my hand. When making a fist after the fact, the punctures lined up directly with my nails. My wife then helped me get changed and washed up to go to the hospital. Meanwhile I was trying to convince her I was fine and just wanted to go back to sleep. Then I looked up and saw my mother standing in the doorway. I didn’t understand what she was doing there. I remember feeling more confused about the situation.
Again, my memories are very lucid of what happened next. I remember looking out the window of the car as my wife was driving me to the hospital. I began to remember this large meeting and mentioning “I hope they let me out before it starts” Politely my wife told me I would not be going. We tried to call my colleague, eventually getting a hold of her to say I would not be coming. I remember her asking me all sorts of questions over the phone about the presentation. I was still very out of it and trying to answer the questions she was asking. Eventually I told her I had to go, I couldn’t speak the words I was trying to say. It’s a disturbing feeling to think to yourself ‘I know the answer to the question bit I can’t remember what it is’.
At the hospital I don’t remember much at all. They ran tests and an MRI. We were then told it appeared I had a seizure, with the cuts on my hands and loss of bodily functions the doctor knew right away it was a Gran Mal seizure. He related seizures of this degree to powering off your computer then restarting it. He explained it my brain and body were slowly rebooting which explained how as time went on I became more coherent.
Before leaving the hospital I was placed on an “anti-convulsant” medication which I happen to still be on. We were told what signs to look out for at home, and not to drive until further testing was completed. These tests were to identify whether I had Epilepsy. After days of tests, it was confirmed I do not have Epilepsy. Still, I spent the next few months with an Occupational Therapist as I had new mobility challenges. I was able to walk, just not straight, quickly or for distances longer than roughly a city block. This is when I first used a cane. The OT recommended I use one, she would help me to mentally get over the stigma I placed on myself. You see, when I was diagnosed I promised myself no matter how hard it gets, I will mentally overcome the challenges and never allow myself to use a cane or end up in a wheelchair.
I came to the realization this was not physically possible after the seizures. While I was working with the OT, she had gently brought up the idea of a Handicap Placard for my vehicle. Something she thought would be of great help. She mentioned something that seems pretty obvious now but I had never thought of before. She mentioned how I may feel fine walking into a mall, or beginning a day out with my family but what about when it’s time to return to the car? Would I have difficulties once I am fatigued while out? With that simple statement she convinced me to let down my guard to realize I realistically would benefit from having one. Even now, I still use the placard on occasion.
The same can be said for using my cane. This was the first time others could see the physical signs of the disease. I bought my cane from the same pharmacy I purchase my Ostomy supplies from. I did my best to act excited in front of my wife, when inside it was crushing my soul. I felt as though I was giving in to the disease, rather than fighting the disease. It took a lot of getting used to when using my cane in public. I didn’t want to go anywhere I might bump into someone I knew. This is a common thought for most when beginning to use an ‘assistive device’. What I quickly learned, by using the cane I am able to preserve a fair amount of energy. It didn’t take to long to get over my personal insecurities when I felt the benefits.
Another lesson learned through this experience is to really listen to your body. After the seizures, the doctor was asking me questions about how I had been feeling in the weeks before the seizures began, together we discussed the stress levels of my job, having a new baby at home and if I had any physical symptoms. During the conversation I had mentioned how I had many “Déjà Vu” sensations the weeks leading up to the Gran Mal. Then He stopped me, asking me to describe what I had meant and how my body reacted to these unusual episodes.
The example I shared was, while watching Big Brother I started to have very very strange sensations take over my body. If you’re not familiar with the concept of the TV show, a group of strangers are placed in a house under 24/7 video monitoring. They compete in various challenges until there is only one person left in the house as the winner. During one of these said challenges, the houseguests were placed on the end of a surf board coming in and out of a wall. Below the surf board was a fake beach.
The last person standing would be the winner. As the challenge began, the sensation of “Déjà Vu” set in. Very quickly my heart began to race, I became dizzy, my hearing was lost, I could not focus on anything. The more I watched these surf boards move, the more uncomfortable I became. There was a strong sense of heat in my face, I rested my head back, closing my eyes. I felt incredibly dizzy and paralyzed. It was as though my entire body turned off. As it began to pass, my mind and entire body felt incredibly exhausted. You know when you are in a deep sleep and someone wakes you up? For a few seconds you don’t know where you are and cannot really move. This is the best way to explain what it feels like.
After listening to this, the neurologist explained what I had experienced during the TV show was in fact a form of seizure. As soon as he said that I felt nauseous. I told him I’d been having this experience, to different degrees, off and on. Needless to say I was scared out of my mind! To this day, if I mis a dose of the medication I begin to feel these same sensations creep back. Only to settle back down once I begin to take again.
What was the ultimate cause of these seizures? The answer is still clouded. Once diagnosed with MS, I began a treatment called Rebif. After three years my MS progressed to an accelerated rate both physically and diagnostically thru MRI. My neurologist highly recommend Tysabri. He explained the success stories behind the drug, along with it’s risks. One being;
“Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by widespread lesions due to infection of oligodendrocytes by JC virus, which is a human polyomavirus (formerly known as papovavirus)”.
After testing JC virus negative, I decided to roll the dice. My neurologist was very hesitant to explain the seizures as a case of PML. It wasn’t until years later, when I was in the hospital with Pyoderma Gangrenosum, that a team of doctors, including two other neurologists, determined it was most likely PML. Lucky for me the ‘anti-convulsant’ medication continues to keep in under control.
Eventually I recovered as I always do. I did have to go through a medical drivers assessment through the OT. I was cleared to drive and now have a “Conditional Drivers License”. Meaning I have to renew more frequently and may need to be reassessed by a doctor before renewal. I did get a Handicapped Placard, only using it when my body tells me I need too. Same can be said for my cane. On occasion I let go of my insecurities, using it at work in the past. I now know there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a Handicap sign and using a cane when needed. It’s not giving in to the disease but simply adapting to the disease to live a more comfortable life.

Interesting to read your descriptions of both your grand mal and the other seizures. I’m glad your medication is helping. 🙂
Reblogged this on MS Memes and more Multiple Sclerosis Information.
I have epilepsy as well as ms. You are a very courageous man. Good lick to you and your family.
Same to you Pauline! 💪🏼
