As you may recall, in April I wrote about Hans de Neus, my 7th great-grandfather on Daddy's side. I also wrote about the Kunkle's from the same side. From those blogs, you know that Susan Neis married Michael Schlonecker, Jr. Michael's mother was Anna Marie Heilig. Her parents were Johann Henrich Heilig and Susanna De Wees Rittenhouse.
The Heilig and Rittenhouse families are the ones I have been researching lately. They are fascinating!
William Rittenhouse (originally Wilhelm Rittenghausen) was the son of Nicholaus. Wilhelm was born in Broich, a small village outside of Mühlheim on the Ruhr River (today a district in the city of Mühleim an der Ruhr in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia) during the year 1644.
Adolf and Mathias Vorster leased and ran a papermill in Broich and came from a family of papermakers. Mathias married Claus' sister, Ermgard and they moved to Holland in the early 1660's. Wilhelm also moved to the Netherlands to help his Aunt and Uncle run their papermill in his late teens or early twenties. He lived in the Netherlands for over twenty years. In 1665 he married Geertruid Pieters. They had three children, Nicholas (Claus), Gerrit, and Elisabeth. They grew up speaking both German and Dutch, if not predominantly the latter.
By 1672, they moved to Amsterdam and the Vorster and Rittenhouse family papermaking business was expanding. Wilhelm eventually moved to Amsterdam as their paper merchant. He learned both the production and marketing sides of the paper industry.
Wilhelm took the citizen's oath in Amsterdam, signing his name as "Willem Riddinghuÿsen." He had assumed a Dutch identity. He was also familiar with and eventually converted to the Mennonite faith. He jumped on the William Penn bandwagon and his "holy experiment" to Pennsylvania, USA.
When Willem decided to emigrate to America he knew that no paper was being produced in the British colonies of North America and he also knew he was on to something big. He was rivaled only by paper being imported from Europe.
As he grew up in the Rhine region and Dutch-German borderlands, Rittenhouse was familiar with the "low Dutch" and "High German" languages.
It is believed "that the Rittenhouse family first shipped to New York, based on the work of a nineteenth-century antiquarian who claimed to have seen a family bible that noted the family's arrival in New York on November 2, 1687, as well as the fact that Claus Rittenhouse married a Dutch woman, Wilhelmina de Wees, in the city on May 29, 1689." Source: "The First Successful Attempt to Rescue From Oblivion' the History of the Rittenhouse Family and Their Paper Mills," RittenhouseTown: A Journal of History 1.1 (2000): 20-41. Collections of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society I, Marriages: Dutch Church, New York, 1639-1801 (1890), 67.
"Willem and Claus were awarded several town lots to grow their papermill in the formed settlement of Germantown, six miles outside of Philadelphia and on September 29, 1690, Willem leased a twenty acre lot on a tributary of the Wissahickon Creek and formed a company with several prominent Philadelphia residents to erect a paper mill." Source: "Rittenhouse Paper Mill Lease, 1706," "Rittenhouse Family Papers," Library Company of Philadelphia.
On that day, Willem Rittenhouse and his son Claus began their careers as paper makers and business owners in America. It did not take him long to seek out investors. He found three prominent citizens and a deal was made. Willem bought paper molds from his uncle in the Netherlands.
The demand for paper in Pennsylvania started increasing. One of his partners sold his 1/4 share back to Wilhelm. As payment, Claus and William Rittenhouse agreed to "deliver to sd. William Bradford… ye full quantity of Seven Ream of blue paper, yearly" and let Bradford "have ye refusal of all ye printing paper that they make and he shall take ye same at Ten shillings pr. Ream, As also ye sd. Bradford shall have ye refusal of five Ream of writing paper and Thirty Ream of brown paper yearly… ye writing paper to be at 20s and ye brown paper at 6 s. pr. Ream." Source: The text of the original lease, now lost, is quoted in Jones, "Historical Sketch," 323-324. Did you notice the word, ream?
The molds that made the paper were pounded out or reamed out. That's how you have your "ream" of paper.
Unfortunately, a flashflood around 1700 destroyed the entire mill building. "But, William Penn clearly deemed Rittenhouse's business a great asset to the colony and, while on his second visit to Pennsylvania, took an active interest in raising support for the reconstruction of the mill." (Same source as above)
Wilhelm's health was declining so he "leased" three of his four shares to his son, Claus for the nominal rent of "one peppercorn yearly" (a metaphor for a very small payment), Wilhelm died of unknown causes on February 18, 1708. He left no will and all four shares of the mill went to his son Claus, who became the sole owner.
Claus continued his father's practice of rearing up family members in the craft of papermaking. In addition to his son, William (1691-1744), who inherited the mill in 1734, Claus also taught the trade to his brother-in-law William De Wees (brother of Claus's wife Wilhelmina) and assisted him in setting up a second paper mill in the Chestnut Hill district nearby in 1710.
Until 1729, the Rittenhouse family had a monopoly on papermills in Pennsylvania and the British colonies at large. None of the mills seemed to have survived, but below is the William Rittenhouse homestead built in 1707.
The smaller building seen in the below picture was built in 1690 as a residence.
A third mill was built by Claus in 1734. The mill produced several kinds and qualities of paper, including writing, printing, brown, and blue paper, as well as pasteboard. Watermarks were produced by working a certain wire pattern into the molds;
Sources: Allen, "Rittenhouse Paper Mill," 119-122; Green, Rittenhouse Mill, 17-19.
Although the Germantown Mennonites started meeting in the house of Jacob van Bebber as early as 1690, it took until 1698 for Rittenhouse and another craftsman, the silversmith Hans de Neus (my 7th great-grandfather!), to be chosen as minister and deacon of the community. Since Rittenhouse was not an ordained bishop, however, no one in the new Mennonite community was authorized to perform baptisms and communions. Source: John L. Ruth, "A Christian Settlement 'in Antiquam Silvam': The Emigration from Krefeld to Pennsylvania in 1683 and the Mennonite Community of Germantown," Mennonite Quarterly Review 57 (1983): 307-31, here 320, 322.
Wilhelm's great-grandson is David Rittenhouse (April 8, 1732 – June 26, 1796) an American astronomer, inventor, clockmaker, mathematician, surveyor, scientific instrument craftsman, and public official. Rittenhouse was a member of the American Philosophical Society and the first director of the United States Mint. More on him at another time.
Nicholas' daughter is Susanna de Wees Rittenhouse. She married Johann Henrich Heilig.
The Heilig's are another interesting family. My next blog will be about this immigrant from Germany who made clocks. Do you have a Heilig clock?

Gambling online happens to be a good pastime especially when you love casinos. There are surely a lot of cool places where you can engage in a fine casino game online. Indeed, bitcoin gambling has attracted a lot of casino lovers as it can be played anywhere and you do not have to go out of your way just to enjoy the thrill of being in a gaming hall. There are only a few differences between using real money and using bitcoin when you are playing but one which is quite prominent is the absence of regulations for bitcoins.
There are no regulations and you do not have to worry about certifying officials, hence the absence of red tape. Nevertheless, there are also some downsides in engaging in a relatively new form of gambling such as being exposed to scammers. Due to these things, you have to observe the necessary precautions when you are thinking about bitcoin gambling.
Make sure that you are in a legitimate casino
Online scams is not a new thing and where bitcoin gaming is concerned; you have to be very careful where you play as it is easy to find various sites that offer games. One good way to verify the legitimacy of a bitcoin casino is through review sites and forums. You can get feedback from other players to see whether a site is any good. Also, take time to explore the site to see whether you are comfortable about doing business with them.
Securing your account
As account security goes, it is important to pay attention to the security settings of your account especially online. In an era where identity theft is usual, you need to make sure that your account is secured. To do this, be sure to choose strong passwords. Ideally, you password is nowhere near your username and it should be alphanumeric and shouldn't be based on your birthday, your plate number and other obvious details. Throwing special characters and adding a random capital letter would be awesome too. Be sure to install antivirus software and to make different passwords for multiple wallets or websites. And, finally, as much as possible, keep your bitcoins in cold storage.
Choosing a funding for your account
One of the most important things that you have to keep in mind when you are in bitcoin gaming is the funding. Make sure than when you are depositing funds, you have the right address. And, this also goes for withdrawing funds. Also, you have to remember that your online accounts can expire or change. When you are using a new site, start depositing a small amount and see whether you can complete the entire process without any hassles. Only deposit the amount that you are planning to use and do not save money on your account, withdraw it elsewhere.
Buying In and Cashing Out
Bitcoins are just like any other currency. You have to look into the movement of the currency when you are going to buy bitcoins or convert them to your currency. Due to the constant fluctuations in the market, it may be best to wait out for a few days or buy right away depending on the trends. Looking into the historical movements of the currency would be a great way to predict future trends and see when it would be best to cash out or buy more.
Bitcoin gaming has undeniably revolutionized the gaming industry. It made a lot of things possible even when you are playing on a portable device. There are so many things that you have to consider but be sure to think of the items above as they are highly important if you want to play in a secured environment.

Defence Force helicopters have so far airlifted more than 130 people from the quake-hit town of Kaikura and a state of emergency now covers the entire Canterbury region of New Zealand.
The latest developments were announced by Sarah Stuart-Black, director of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, at a briefing in the Beehive bunker late on Tuesday.
"The local state of emergency was declared across the Canterbury region to mobilise the collective force of the region," she said.
"This supersedes the local states of emergency in Kaikoura and Hurunui."
Ms Stuart-Black said food and water supplies were being distributed to communities where they were most needed.
"By night they will be going door-to-door to check on households," she said.
"Over 130 people have been evacuated so far and we are ensuring that people impacted by the earthquake are cared for."
Earlier on Tuesday, Defence Minister and acting Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee said the evacuees were taken to Christchurch where local authorities helped tourists make accommodation arrangements.
"The four New Zealand NH90 helicopters have been evacuating people and bringing in supplies on each flight," he said.
He said authorities had not yet confirmed the total number of people displaced by the magnitude 7.5 earthquake and subsequent landslides.
But "essential supplies such as water, food, diesel equipment and personnel and oxygen for the local hospital have all reached Kaikoura today", he said.
"At this stage, it's hoped the inland route to Kaikoura, from the south, through Waiau will be cleared and reopened by the weekend."
"This is heavily dependent on weather conditions ... and the magnitude and frequency of aftershocks."
"Cell phone and landline coverage in Kaikoura is improving and providers are co-ordinating well, but services are not yet at 100 per cent."
"USAR teams are on the ground in Waiau and Kaikoura and a further 10 police personnel have arrived in Kaikoura."
Meanwhile, an area of central Wellington has been cordoned off where an earthquake-damaged nine-storey building is at risk of collapsing.
People in other buildings around the area, including a church, Rugby House and the New Zealand Red Cross headquarters, have been evacuated as a precaution.
Mr Nally said police and firefighters were conducting an operation to seal off the area and further decisions would be make on Wednesday.

Patara - Soho
Top tags:
Dinner on a Friday evening. Excellent food and excellent service. A little noisy at times but tables were arranged in such a way that conversations could not be heard.
I was very impressed by the quality of food, presentation and service. The staff were very accommodating and I would definitely go back. The only thing I was disappointed is that the a la cart menu at weekends is different and more expensive, someone keep it in mind.
Great little restaurant nestled in the heart of soho with wonderful ambiance and very tasty food.
Completle overpriced and really bad service !
I went there with my girlfriend for her birthdaydinner.
Our table was just risiculous (in spite of reservation with cause), more a side table in the middle of a pathway, where Otter People heading towars their Tables and the employees ran by every second. We asked for another one but there was no free one...
On top of that the serviceemployees were awful... Clumsy, coarse and just dont think of what they do... you really notice that performance at Ptara Is Not demanded
Usually giving tips is a matter of good manners for me but in this restaurant I really didnt wanted to BUT service fee Is allredy included to your bill with about 12%! In this case its just profiteering!
The Taste of the Food Is Nothing Special, especially in Relation to the Price.... Not to say overpriced...
So all in all, ruined Birthday Dinner, a lot of money wasted, thanks Ptara ... never again.. sorry not sorry...
We had a set menu which was excellent and good value. Friendly staff
Great find for a delicious meal, beautifully presented before going to the theatre. Ambience was just right and attentive servers without being overbearing. We will return on our next trip to London
Delicious food, but overpriced. Good atmosphere, buzzy and busy. Staff very friendly but service slow after food ordered.
Only complaint was a flickering light above the table that was a bit annoying otherwise food and service was excellent!
One of the best Thai restaurant in Central London.
Staff is extremely nice and food is just great!
Highly recommended
Beautiful food, full of flavour, service was attentive and fast. We were downstairs but it still felt very open. The noise did bounce around but still at a level to comfortably talk across the table. We had a few cocktails too which were lovely and we would happily go back again.
We went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon when the restaurant wasn't busy. Staff were friendly but service at times was quite slow. However, the food was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. A good choice for a pleasant meal and well worth a return visit in the future.
Great food and a good noise level so it's great to catch up with friends as you can hear them speak- unlike the canteen atmosphere of some of the other Thai places.
The menu is creative and really tasty.
Great service too.
I went there before for dinner and was blown away by the various dishes. This time I took my friend there and went for the day time menu. Totally disappointed.. The services still very good but the food was not even half as good as my previous visit. Not sure if they have a different chef during the day..
Love it here. We go whenever we are in London. If you like Thai food in great surroundings and in a good location this is one not to miss.
Delicious food, excellent service, friendly attentive staff. Our go to Thai restaurant in the area!
We have dined many times at Patara Thai but this time sadly the service and food was not up to its normally high standards. The menu is smaller, the black cod is no longer available, we were told because it is expensive!! But it was worth it. Not sure if the restaurant group had changed hands or if it was just a bad night!! Either way, not up to their usual high standards which was sad,
Great food, much more inventive than your average Thai restaurant. Quite pricey but worth the extra.
I was very impressed with the service of the hostess or head waitress, not sure which she was. The food was great however I felt the portion was quite small which was the only downside.
It was our anniversary, it would have been nice if it had been somehow acknowledged considering I left a note to say so. In all my hubby and I had a good time. Will definitely recommend.
Food was incredible! Will definitely be looking to go back in the near future.
Great central location. Delicious food and good service and cosy atmosphere. Good lunch menu that is pretty good value.
It was a lovely and lively place. Even though it was busy, we got the food quickly and service was very good. The food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely come again!
Loved it here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would definitely come back...
Relaxed and comfortable with excellent service, but pricey. We had a glass of prosseco for £9 which came in the smallest glass flute I've ever seen and the cocktail seemed all ice and very little of anything else. When asked if we wanted water, I assumed it was on the house, but no, another almost £5. The options for vegetarians were limited. I've had much better Thai food out in the sticks at half the price. Underwhelmed and overpriced ...
Generally delicious but the Pad Thai was disappointing.
Seemed slightly overpriced
My main issue is that it's over priced and the food quality doesn't stand up to the eye-watering cost. My friend's king prawn curry came and she couldn't cut the prawns they were so undercooked and jelly-like still. My Pad Thai was really average - I didn't particularly enjoy it. I also picked it as somewhere that was recommended as somewhere good for quiet conversation and there was an extremely loud group that forced my friend and I to shout to be heard across a small table together - admittedly this last point is not the fault of the restaurant, but does contradict what previous reviews suggest.
Nice ambience and surroundings let down by slightly chaotic service and only average food taste. Ordered vegetarian spring rolls, satay, green vegetable curry and garlic king prawns. The curry was too sweet. The king prawns were rubbery and lacked taste. The satay had a strong curry powder smell and flavour. The rice portions were tiny - barely enough for one person at £4.50 a portion. There was a time when Patara served very tasty and genuine Thai food, but I think it it too pre-occupied with profits now.
Some of the best Thai food I've had anywhere in the world. Complex, spicy, but not aggressive as some highly seasoned food can be. We had the tofu green curry and prawn Pad Thai. The Pad Thai was not overly sweet and sticky as some Pad Thais are. Very polite service. We would definitely return.
We had the banquet menu which was delicious, other than the dessert. It was salted caramel cheesecake but it was far too salty!
It is pricey for Thai, but we loved the variety of starters and mains.
Would recommend for a treat.
Very nice restaurant with a lot of culture. Curry was amazing . Definitely will vist again!
The food was nice but came out very quickly which rather gave the impression of it being a conveyor belt. This didn't match with the warning that tables are required back after 2 hours as we were done in an hour, and we had a drink, starter and main. The food was nice though and we enjoyed it.
Meat set menu. We were rushed through our menu which was ashame. Otherwise I would give a 5 star
Was ok, but that's all - food just ok, service just ok - I had hoped it would have been a bit more special given reviews and location
Food is great, really good Thai food, however the English of staff is not so good. Sometimes they cannot understand my request
I had booked the restaurant based on previous good experiences at the Maddox Street branch - I had friends visiting London and they wanted a Thai restaurant.
We had a great table and the ambience of the restaurant good. We all enjoyed our starters - calamari, fish cakes, duck spring rolls were all good.
The main courses didn't arrive together and unfortunately 3 curries were cold on arrival to the table - the waiting staff took them back to the kitchen and after 2 attempts only one of the dishes was heated.
Unfortunately the communication from the 'manager' was poor and 2 of the party left the restaurant with no main course which was disappointing.
We appreciate that these things happen sometimes and other main courses - prawn green curry, beef noodles and pad thai went down well - however the service and communication could be improved.
The dishes were removed from the menu - but there was further confusion around the bill - again dealt with poorly by the 'manager'.
Probably would book a different Thai restaurant in the future - despite the positives.
Patara is a good restaurant and good for groups. The service was good, and anytime we asked for something, the staff were very helpful. The food was good - we had the set menu, although we had expected a tasting menu from the ad on Open Table, and there are a lot of tables that can accommodate 6 people. The wine was extremely expensive, and nothing special. This restaurant would suit people who want a lot of food - we were very full - I would have preferred slightly better quality food and a little less of it - but there was a good selection in the set menu, so it was fine. I was slightly disappointed as they asked if we were going specially for a birthday, which we were, but they didn't do or say anything, which is quite unusual! I probably wouldn't go back there again, as I would like something a bit more interesting, but if you are in Soho/going to the theatre, it is fine for a group.
Restaurant is average - not the best value for money, service is okay, but the restaurant is inflexible..
A real cut above your ordinary Thai restaurant.... The. Food had an exceptional freshness and zing and the service was attentive but not intrusive. Just perfect..... Price on the high side but really represents good value.
Eat at Patara very often. Food is incredible. Ambience is stunning. Friendly staff. Fab cocktails. Would highly recommend .
great staff, service and food. would highly recommend this place.
We went for a birthday meal for my husband with our 2 year old. When I called up to check if there was any age restrictions and if they had high chairs available I was told that there is no age restriction but if the child was too noisy that we would be asked to leave. We still decided to go. Upon arrival they sat us at the front of the restaurant, I can understand that they didn't want our 2 year old to disturb the other diners. But then the service was slow. After each course I had to get out of my seat to get attention for the table to be cleared and the next course to be served. Same again when we wanted to order dessert. We had to cancel one of our desserts because it took too long to come out. We paid the service charge but in hind sight I don't think the 12.5% was deserved.

Your kidneys initially filter your blood. The liquid portion of your blood is mostly water, but it also includes proteins, glucose, cholesterol (related to fat), and ions (charged particles), known as electrolytes. Some important electrolytes are sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate. Electrolytes are necessary components of almost all bodily functions, so before they are discarded in your urine, your kidneys ensure that enough electrolytes remain in your blood. To do this, the liquid removed from your blood is further modified in the tubular portion of the nephron by processes called reabsorption and secretion. The final product is excreted from your kidneys, and eventually leaves your body through the process of urination.
About 20% of the blood pumped every minute by your heart goes directly to both of your kidneys. The blood enters your kidney through the renal artery and makes its way to the glomeruli of your nephrons, where filtering takes place. In general, only small molecules are filtered through the glomerulus, leaving larger molecules (the plasma proteins) and the cells in your blood. The liquid filtered out of your blood is known as filtrate and this will eventually become urine.
The glomeruli in your kidneys' nephrons continuously filter your blood so that your entire blood volume is filtered multiple times each day. Up to 48 gallons of blood are filtered each day, yet only about 4 to 8 cups of this filtrate is excreted as urine. This means that the majority of filtrate is recovered by your body in a process known as reabsorption.
Reabsorption occurs because the filtrate contains elements your body still needs, like water, electrolytes, glucose, amino acids, and other nutrients. The blood vessels that surround your nephrons reabsorb these substances as needed, so they are not excreted in your urine.
Secretion takes place in the tubules of your kidney. It is the process of transporting unwanted molecules out of your bloodstream and into the filtrate. Substances that are secreted are proteins and foreign molecules, including any drugs you may have taken (most drugs are cleared from the bloodstream either by the kidneys or the liver). Secretion and reabsorption occur simultaneously. After filtration, reabsorption and secretion, the remaining contents gather in the collecting duct of the nephron where the filtrate is prepared for excretion.
The filtrate, now known as urine, is composed of the end-products of unneeded amino acids, electrolytes, and other molecules that are toxic to your body. It exits your kidneys through your ureters, on its way to your urinary bladder.
Urine is stored in your urinary bladder until it is filled. The urinary bladder can hold up to 2 to 3 cups of urine. In order to urinate, muscles in your abdomen must relax, allowing the urine to flow from your urinary bladder, through your urethra, and out of your body.

Albirex Niigata (S) extended their lead at the top of the S.League to five points on Sunday evening after claiming a 3-1 win over second-placed Tampines Rovers at Jurong West Stadium.
Naofumi Tanaka nodded the White Swans ahead three minutes before the half-hour mark, before Tsubasa Sano doubled their lead shortly after the restart.
The Stags were then reduced to 10 men when Shakir Hamzah was issued his marching orders. But they managed to pull one back through a Son Yong-chan strike in the 71st minute.
However, any hopes of a Stags' comeback were quashed seven minutes later when Sano struck again, before Tanaka also grabbed a second of his own in added time to complete a big win for the visitors.
The victory sees Albirex move five points clear at the summit, with Home United moving to second after a 2-1 victory over Garena Young Lions on Sunday night. They are now seven points above rivals Tampines, and already it looks like they will take some stopping from retaining the S.League crown.
With both sides entering Sunday's clash occupying the top two spots on the table, there was certainly plenty for both sides to play for.
It was the White Swans who drew first blood in the 27th minute. Tanaka ventured forward at a set-piece situation, and made no mistake in meeting Kento Nagasaki's free kick with a header past Joey Sim.
A minute after the restart, they were presented a perfect opportunity to edge further ahead when Sano was brought down inside the area by Shakir Hamzah.
The Albirex striker picked himself up and stepped up to the spot, making no mistake in sending Sim the wrong way for his ninth goal of the campaign.
Already with a mountain to climb, Tampines' cause was not helped three minutes after the hour mark when Shakir clashed with Shoichiro Sakamoto. He swung an arm in retaliation, earning himself a straight red for violent behaviour.
Despite the numerical deficit, the hosts were given a lifeline in the 71st minute when Son was perfectly positioned to net on the rebound after Daniel Bennett had been denied with his initial effort.
Nonetheless, the contest was effectively ended in the seven minutes later when Sano was on target again, embarking on a fine solo run before finishing into the bottom corner.
Just for good measure, Albirex added a fourth in the third minute of injury time. Tanaka found space on the edge of the box and beat Sim with a low drive, capping off a fine evening at the office for the league leaders.
Tampines Rovers: Joey Sim, Ismadi Mukhtar (Jufri Taha 58'), Fahrudin Mustafic, Daniel Bennett, Shakir Hamzah, Fazli Ayob, Son Yong-chan, Shahdan Sulaiman, Ryutaro Megumi, Khairul Amri (Ivan Dzoni 75'), Yasir Hanapi (Zulfadhmi Suzliman 83')
Albirex Niigata (S): Yosuke Nozawa, Rui Kumada, Takuya Akiyama, Yasutaka Yanagi, Naofumi Tanaka, Hiroyoshi Kamata, Shuto Inaba, Kento Nagasaki, Ryota Nakai (Shoma Kondo 90'), Shoichiro Sakamoto (Ryuya Motoda 79'), Tsubasa Sano

Dear Doctor:
One of the fastest growing areas in the treatment of menopause is the use of NATURAL HORMONES in place of synthetics that are on the market. NATURAL PROGESTERONES and ESTROGENS are becoming very popular. Many women taking synthetic progestins experience unwanted side effects such as headaches, malaise, nausea, irritability and break-through bleeding. NATURAL PROGESTERONES have very few side effects and are well-tolerated. Natural Progesterones are also used by physicians to help with frequent miscarriages and in vitro fertilization.
Most pharmacies do not carry these prescription drugs and do not have the time and knowledge about how to formulate them into oral doses. Martin Avenue Pharmacy can formulate prescriptions for your patients in many dosage forms, including capsules, sublingual tablets, creams, gels and vaginal suppositories.

October 1 is World Vegetarian Day. I have been a vegetarian for 14 years. My favorite restaurant is Veggie Heaven. The restaurant is located at 473 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, New Jersey. Asian vegetarian/vegan cuisine is served. The food is also kosher and GMO-free.
Every year on my birthday, my parents and I go to Veggie Heaven for dinner. I usually order the General Tso's Chicken. Of course, the "chicken" is actually made of vegetable protein; the "meats" are made of soy, tempeh, and wheat gluten. The food is so good, and it is nice to not have to ask about ingredients like I do in many other restaurants.
Veggie Heaven has takeout too. Last year, when I was bottle-feeding my kitten Flash, we couldn't go out for dinner on my birthday because Flash couldn't go without food that long. My parents picked up takeout from Veggie Heaven, and we had my birthday dinner at my house. It worked out really well!

Literary Tuesday: Creative Writing
Tartu Literature House
Before the final of the Estonian Poetry Slam on Wednesday, we will come together and find new writing topics for the next season. The workshop will be led by guest poet Bence Bárány of Hungary. While the workshop will be conducted in English, participants can write in any language they choose.
"One of the most essential things about poetry slams is to be true on stage, and to find topics in which the performer is really interested," Bárány said. "While it sounds quite easy, it is usually a difficult part; it takes a lot to dive into your own thoughts and feelings and then transform them into a text that draws a proper picture about the dive you did. With the exercises included in the workshop, I hope to give participants the opportunity to make these dives together and find out what they really want to speak about. No more spoilers. It's gonna be fun."

Art Appreciation Boosts Stroke Recovery Physically And PsychologicallyFebruary 11, 2015
By: Anna Agoncillo
|Image Credits: Dustin Gaffke via Flickr
Art therapy has been proven to be successful in ways that are different from the traditional therapies.
Three years ago, a study found that stroke survivors who enjoyed painting, music, and theater had better recovery than patients who did not.
Researchers from the University Tor Vergata School of Nursing in Rome asked 192 stroke survivors whether they did or did not like art. It turns out that only 87 people reported no appreciation at all. Then, the researchers compared the quality of life of the two groups. Findings suggest that stroke survivors who appreciate art had more energy, improved mobility, less anxiety and depression, better communication skills, and improved memory.
Dr. Ercole Vellone, the study's lead author, stated that stroke survivors who saw art as an integrated part of their former lifestyle by expressing appreciation towards music, painting, and theater showed better recovery skills than those who did not. Thus, it is the long-term changes in the brain that aided the recovery.
Introducing art to patients post-stroke may also help by positively boosting the mood and releasing a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that controls the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Thus, it can improve one's quality of life.
With these knowledge that art can stimulate physical and psychological benefits, I've narrated my experience while painting a flower canvas by Paintastic Art Craft (selling for only S$3.43 with the easel and materials included).
Since Valentine's Day is fast approaching, they are offering kits with affordable prices and weekly special offers. Even though the mini kit can be finished in half an hour, I divided the work in 5 days to see if its psychological effects is stable across time.
Day 1: As I saw the packaging, the instructions were laid out in English and Chinese. The materials were adequate and of quality. The mini kit even included an easel for support. I soon began and stopped 1/4 through. I had an increased feeling of happiness and accomplishment since it requires intricate detailing.
Day 2: I started the day with a cheerful disposition that I can finish more than 2 numbers. And, I did. This painting kit once molded my precision, carefulness, and patience.
Day 3: This day proved that everything gets easier in time. I've accomplished 3 numbers and that made me happy.
Day 4: I had more work done today that ever. I'm approaching the end. But, I got dizzy nearing the end so I put it on hold. Once again, precision and patience increased. Also, it is important to listen to your body and know when to stop.
Day 5: This is the day I've been waiting for since I get to see the results. And, it was beautiful. I showed the pictures to my friends---they agreed. I am finally done but I polished some edges and coated the whole painting for the second time. Truly, a feeling of fulfillment and happiness were brought by this simple craft.
Here is a short video summary of my fantastic painting journey:

Okay here's what happened. About a year ago a lightning strike came through my house and it killed half of my audio. What I mean by that is only the left side of all audio would play on my computer. However two days ago another lightning strike took out the rest of my audio and all of my pci slots except pci express for the video card.
The question, if I get a new mobo, processor, ram, and video card, will I have to re-format my hdd? I want to upgrade all of these parts because I built this computer right before dual core came out, so basically its obsolete at this point. However, I have so much crap on my hdd in order to re-install everything I have on here it would be a headache I can't afford at this point in my life. If I have to re-format then that's what I got to do but if I can just swap out the parts that would be wonderful.
Let's say I would have to re-format to put in all those new parts, then fine, but here's another question for that. If switch it over to a slave, and get a new master hdd, could I still access the old hdd as it was or since its a master with a o/s on it would it not work?
Thanks for reading all of this and any answers are appreciated.
So basically you're going to build a new machine. If you're going to use XP again, you should be able to hook up the drive and do an XP repair from the disk.
I would get another drive and copy/clone your old drive. Then try the restore repair,
So doing a xp repair will save all my installed data and just make the new parts recognized?
"So doing a xp repair will save all my installed data and just make the new parts recognized
YES; the new mboard devices, yes, but you need to install drivers as well after Setup has finished.
How to do an XP Repair installation step by step:
You will need to load all the drivers for the mboard after Setup is finished.
You must use a Product Key that Setup will accept as valid.
In most cases you get the Product Key from the official Microsoft sticker on your computer case, or from the official Microsoft sticker that came with your Windows CD if it has not been stuck to the case, or if you can't find that or don't have that, you can use a program to find the Product Key your Windows installation is presently using, BEFORE you run the Repair Setup (Repair install) - e.g. search for: keyfinder, by Jelly Bean whatever.
You can't use an brand name XP Re-installation CD that came with, or that was intended to be used with, a brand name computer to do a Repair installation, or install Windows from scratch, when the mboard has been changed, unless the new mboard has that brand's bios version of an acceptable version, and the mboard is one of the acceptable ones that was used in the original model series.
If you have a retail Microsoft XP CD or a Microsoft OEM XP CD (has "For distribution with a new PC only." printed on it) that has the Microsoft holograms on it, which ever you used to originally install Windows on the hard drive, and you know the Product Key that was used in Setup, for the same version as on the hard drive ,which ever it was Home or Pro, you can use that to do a Repair installation.
If the original Windows installation was a brand name installation, if you use a Microsoft OEM XP CD (has "For distribution with a new PC only." printed on it) that has the Microsoft holograms on it, for the same version as on the hard drive, Home or Pro, you can use that along with the Product Key for Home or Pro, whichever is on the official Microsoft label on the outside of the brand name case, to do a Repair installation.
If you have SATA drives, the XP CD may not find any SATA drives -
See response 2:
If you have any hard drives larger than 137gb manufacturer's size, the XP CD you use must have at least SP1 updates on it.
Regular Microsoft XP CDs have SP2 or SP3 printed on them if they have those updates included. All the regular Microsoft XP CDs that have SP1 updates included that I've seen DO NOT have SP1 printed on the CD, but the volume labels - the labels you see for the CD in Windows - for CDs with SP1 updates included are different from those with no SP updates at all - you can search using that volume label to determine whether it has SP1 updates or not.
XP re-installation CDs that come with brand name computers usually have SP2 or SP3 printed on them if they have those updates and they may have SP1 printed on them if they include those.
NOTE: I have found some older XP Home CD's without SP1 or SP2 updates (e.g. made in 2001 - see the date on the CD) DO NOT have the screen with Repair Setup option! See Slipstreamed CD (below) in that case - you should have the Repair Setup option after you make that.
If your XP CD has no SP updates at all, you can make yourself a "slipstreamed" CD (preferably a CD-R) that has had the SP3 updates integrated into the original contents of your CD, and use that to install Windows by booting from it, along with using the original Product Key.
If your Windows CD does not have SP2 or SP3 updates included, and you updated Windows to SP3, you may have to install SP3 again to get it working properly.
Thanks so much guys for all the advice, replies, and perfect answers. I know my way around computers but when I come across something I never had personally done before I always come here to check with my ideas first. Thanks again
Hey don't feel bad the exact same thing happened to me just last week!
Only audio out of left speaker and no pci :(
I'm looking into replacing my mb and it seems it is still popular on ebay.

Scott Farrell comments:
Too many executives, politicians and bureaucrats today believe that simply "getting the job done" is a show of leadership. They forget that being a leader means inspiring, not just organizing. In fact, I've been in many organizations where the leader — the person who truly sets the ethical and philosophical tone for the working group — is not the person who is "in charge." When a manager sets the goals, then allows someone else to determine the methods by which those goals are achieved, the results can be catastrophic.
Who do the people on your team look to as the leader? As Brian McCormick, director of the on-line Leader Network reminds us, chivalrous, honorable and productive actions are crucial for anyone who wants to be the real leader, not just the person who maintains the to-do list.
Manager: You have your affairs managed — when you are managed you are told what to do.
Leader: You follow a leader willingly, by choice.
Manager: Merely oversight.
Leader: Decision making.
Manager: People either abide by or rebel against someone they simply view as a boss.
Leader: People follow their leader.
Manager: A position of authority bestowed upon someone.
Leader: A position of respect earned by actions.
The leader sets the course and makes sure everyone in the canoe is paddling in the same direction.

Now you have a big bucket of rings that you just cut. Well, to form things out of the rings, you will need to close the two ends to form a complete circle.
I use two sets of pliers.
Both of these work. I hold one pair in each hand. The orange pair actually has bent tips on them. The bent tips work pretty well. It feels more comfortable than the straight tips.
Grab a ring with the two pairs of pliers. Leave the open end towards you. The pliers each hold one half of the ring. The tips of the pliers meet on the ring opposite of the opening. In the image above, the bent tip pliers would come upwards, and the flat tip pliers on the right side of the image would come down. This will bring both ends of the wire together.
A better image. Again, bent tip on the left are moved up, and the flat tip pliers on the right move down to close the gap in the copper ring.
The first few will take a little practice. As you move the pliers around the ring, it will close the ring better. You will find the perfect spot for you. If the ring is not closed at the end of the move, slide your pliers around the ring and open and close the ring again. If you pliers are in the correct spot, when you close the ring, the ends will touch and look like a complete circle.
This position gives you a lot of leverage. Copper is not bad to move, but stainless steel takes more effort.
Once you are done, you will have a circle.
This is what one completed ring looks like. The ends are touching and you have a complete circle. You can also see in this photo the cut marks on the ends from the cutters. All your rings will look like this if you cut the coils with wire cutters. It looks like a little bite at the end of the wire.
Some of your assembly steps when making the chain mail will call for closed rings like this one, and some will be open to join others together.
Chain mail is just a collection of closed circles joined with open rings that are closed in place.
To open the rings, do the exact opposite steps. Grab the ring with two pliers, and one side lifts up and the other side pushes down until the ring opens.
Go ahead, make some chain mail, have some fun.

On Thursday 23 August, on the anniversary of the signing of the Hitler-Stalin pact, a new and ambitious memorial was opened in Maarjamäe Palace Park, in Tallinn, to remember the victims of the Communist Terror. The first section of the memorial, the 'Journey', is a long tunnel created by two high, black stone walls. Carved into the walls are the names of more than 22,000 Estonians who were murdered or died due to the Communist Terror. Many of these victim's graves are unknown.
Moving through the memorial the visitor enters the second part, the 'House Garden', where apple trees grow and beehives stand. They symbolizes how people were taken, without mercy, from their homes, but only a few were able to return to their home and homeland.

That first track is a cover of Duke Ellington's "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart," and it features some wonderful playing by the entire group, and goes in some delightful directions. It's followed by "La Canción Que Falta," which was written by Guillermo Klein, who provides vocals and plays keys on this track. The vocals have something of an intimate sound, which is great, but for me the saxophone is the more expressive voice. Oscar's playing is beautiful. Then three and a half minutes in, the tune changes its feel, and the piano takes over as lead instrument. There is something playful and delightful here, and yet the tune does not lose any of its beauty, but rather rises to a different level of joy. Then just as it's ending, this song goes in another direction. This album features a second Guillermo Klein composition, "N.N," which John Benitez starts off on bass. This track has a great rhythm, and features some rousing playing by Oscar Feldman and more fantastic drumming by Antonio Sanchez.
"Viva Belgrano," the album's only composition by Oscar Feldman, begins with the sound of a sports announcer (that's Matias Barzola). Belgrano is a soccer team of Cordoba, where Feldman grew up, and this tune celebrates an important goal in that club's history (making it sort of the album's title track). As the announcer fades out, the tune begins, the drums leading into it. This too has some interesting changes and features more wonderful work on both keys and saxophone. And check out that bass line. But perhaps my favorite section is when Antonio Sanchez on drums take over, with Leo Genovese holding down the groove on keys, the drums acting as lead instrument. This track has an exciting feel throughout, but that section, for me, really is the highlight. And it is during that section that Matias Barzola comes back in, clearly thrilled about a soccer goal. It is interesting how integral the announcer feels to the tune, how well the whole thing works.
The music then takes a turn to something prettier, more thoughtful, with a relaxed rendition of "Murmullo." As the song grows, Oscar Feldman's playing becomes more powerful. And then suddenly it leads to a cool lead on bass by John Benitez. Oscar Feldman covers Beck's "Nobody's Fault But My Own," the bass at first doing what would be the vocal line, and later the saxophone taking over that line and stretching it further. Four and a half minutes in, the song gets more interesting for me, going into territory not explored in Beck's original. At moments, it feels like anything could happen – the tune could explode, it could ease us gently back into a pop realm. As it ends, it drifts off into a strange electronic realm, leaving us there. Well, not for long. The next track, "Is That So," the Duke Pearson composition, begins with a more standard groove and feel, sticking closely with the original. But it's not long before it gets interesting, and there are short drum solos and bass leads. The CD then concludes with a Beatles number, a lively, fun, excellent rendition of "I Feel Fine."

text: Rahimdad 4,661 Report post Posted May 22, 2017 I just bought myself a Viking rope with soft shackles. It's true that a Viking rope is a very essential tool for recovery, but in some cases you need a strap also. I will buy one before the next trip so that we are ready for anything. A Viking rope would have done a lot of good on last drive unfortunately we didn't have one. Now we do.😎 The soft shackle is also very good tool to have to suit all recovery points as it very slim and strong at the same time. Also in case any recovery point fails like explained during the last training it will not cause any harm unlike the metal or steal shackles. I got it from someone I know for much cheaper than market price. Anybody interested can pm me. This was the last set though, he will get new sets next month. If you want to save some cash it will be worth it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This past weekend, the festival of every food and beer-lover's carb-loaded dreams kicked off in Munich: Oktoberfest. The beer is the star of this annual celebration, but the food is not playing second fiddle. The 16 day-long party of all-things-Bavarian is a foodie bucket list — especially since pretzels and brats top off the must-have lists — but if you can't make it to Germany for a stein or four, you can at least munch on some fall festival favorites around town, and wash it down with a Märzen lager. Get your Frankfurt and schnitzel fix!
Teeming in Austrian-Bavarian heritage, the Alpenhof Lodge is steeped in the traditional lifestyle and décor of the German alpinists. But to really dive into the cultural traditions, look no further than the Alpenrose Restaurant at the lodge. Strudels, schnitzels, bratwurst, and more round out this authentically Bavarian hotspot. But to kick off an Oktoberfest celebration, look no further than the Bayerische Platte. Meant for two, this loaded lunch comes with two warm house made pretzels, veal bratwurst, pickles, and dips galore. The curry nurnberger mustard is a pretzel's best friend, but the spicy tomato chutney is not far behind.
Move over, pork chops. We are hankering for a perfectly thin and crisp schnitzel. Persephone Café & Bakery puts their spin on a classic schnitzel, by serving it up between a hearty baguette. The Schnitzelwich is loaded with house made sauerkraut, cherry pepper, pickles, and finished with a perfectly tangy dijoinaise.
Okay, the famous "S" pretzel at Sidewinders is in a category all its own for Oktoberfest munchies, but we are here to talk about the Reuben. The Reuben is an American-born sandwich that combines flavor-packed traditions from a variety of cultures: Irish corned beef, Russian dressing, Swiss cheese. …. you get the idea. But what ties it all together is the German sauerkraut. At Sidewinders, the Reuben is loaded with the fermented cabbage goodness and tangy dressing. Choose corned beef or turkey, and order up a hearty stout.
The Bunnery Bakery & Restaurant
German cuisine isn't all brats and kraut. To celebrate the sweeter side of Bavarian cuisine, head to The Bunnery for a flaky, sweet apple turnover, or Apfeltasche in German. Similar to a strudel, the turnover is typically made with layered, buttery phyllo dough. Sugar, cinnamon, and tart apples are filled to the brim inside a flaky, not overly sweet, pastry. The perfect combination. Start your day with the decadent pastry or satisfy your sweet tooth for dessert.

DescriptionGlaciers kind of get a bad rap, especially when they go around sinking ships. But the one that formed Milford Sound thousand of years ago is doing its best to improve the world's view of glaciers. As if New Zealand isn't beautiful enough, Milford Sound is so stunning, it's difficult to even comprehend. It's usually a bad thing for it to rain at a vacation destination, but when it rains at Milford Sound, it only makes it more beautiful as it sends water cascading down the world-renowned waterfalls. Snow-capped mountains-nearly vertical in their steepness-jut out from the deep blue water of the sound. Cruises and Kayaks allow visitors to experience the best of Milford Sound from the water level which may allow you to see the dolphins, penguins, and seals that call the pass home. You can also catch a glimpse at the New Zealand Glow Worm that lights up after dark. Although it's an equally magnificent experience to view the entire site from a scenic flight.

Could this place be more beautiful?09/10/13
I went to Milford Sound as part of my 14 day camping tour around the South Island. Everybody me and my friends met along the trip kept asking us 'have you been at MS already?'....the expectations where getting higher by the day. After having a well deserved day of pampering ourselves with delicious warm food, wine and social life, we left posh Queenstown to take the magical drive to MS. If you see a road map, you have to make a big look around some mountains offering you beautiful views of two lakes and canyons. There is a very particular stop at the entry of a tunnel where you will meet a curious little parrot- cute and all, but don't let them eat your tire rubber! cute only lasts so long ! So then cross the tunnel and ....yeah...-you can stop slobbering and close your mouth- you have crossed into another dimension of beauty. drive until you hit the welcome area and AMAZE yourself with the sound. I could have stayed here few days exploring the beauty of this place.
Rain or shine- get out and walk around, trek those trails, get on a boat into the sound....this is where nature had one of its orgasms!!! Having been to NZ and not seen the Sound is like having been to Paris and not seen The Eiffel Tower.

Planning Tip
Milford Sound is a 4 hour drive from Queenstown - another Jauntaroo destination. The drive is one of the best journeys! The road passes through unspoiled mountain landscapes before entering the Homer Tunnel which emerges into rain-forest-carpeted canyons that descend to the sound.

While saffron itself is an ancient spice, it has recently been experiencing a boom in the dessert arena. Everyone is jumping on the saffron bandwagon, and saffron-flavored everything is everywhere.
Not that I mind; I've always reveled in saffron anything. This is a saffron milk cake which is a cake baked then drenched in milk and covered in whipped cream. A take on tres leches I suppose that you can find in the window of every pastry shop.
1/2 cup butter, soft
1 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp saffron threads
1/4 cup water
For the sauce:
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup sweet condensed milk
pinch of saffron threads
For the topping:
1 cup cream, whipped
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a bowl, incorporate the flour, baking powder, salt, and saffron; set aside.
Whip the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the five eggs, one by one beating well after each addition, and the vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture; add the quarter cup water to loosen the batter a bit.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes; cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: combine in a saucepan and bring to a simmer the whipping cream, powdered milk, sweet condensed milk, and the saffron threads. Set aside to cool completely.
Using a skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake, then pour over the cooled sauce. Cover the surface with the whipped cream and either serve or refrigerate until needed.
