How to Find a Good Bakery
There are so many bakeries out there, almost one on every corner of the street. But as you might guess, they're not all created equal. Obviously, not all of them are good. But what makes them "good" anyway?
There are many things that make a Bakery Charlotte nbc worth a coming back to, not just their health their health department score, although that is important too.
Next time you visit a bakery to get some goodies, be observant with your surroundings. This is the least you can do to know just how good the place is, and if you indeed would like to go back.
First, take a look at the display case the moment you enter a bakery. It must be full. Otherwise, that could mean that the bakery didn't make enough for its customers, or had excessive food waste which they had to throw out. Both are unacceptable for a good bakery.
Besides being full, the case should also have a mix of different items. Whether the bakery only makes cupcakes, or it's a large one that offer all kinds of goodies, they should provide variety that customers can choose from. Not everyone is strictly chocolate or strictly vanilla. Even if that's a specialty item, you would still look for other choices as a customer. If you need additional help in finding a good bakery, you can go to http://www.ehow.com/how_2083203_start-bakery-business.html.
Another thing is there must be proper labeling of goodies. Not everyone will be able to distinguish from item to item. A bakery should have a special decorative label that differentiates a chocolate espresso muffin from a chocolate candy muffin. Furthermore, unless the place is not a specialty bakery that sells gluten-free pastries, these items must be labeled as such.
Of course, one of the most basic signs of a good Bakery Charlotte nbc is cleanliness. When you enter the place, you shouldn't find any food lying around, things that should be in the refrigerator but are left exposed in room temperature, staff who are not wearing gloves or hairnets, and messy tables. Whether or not these are true for a certain bakery will surely affect its ratings with the health department.
When you ask them about their products, they should be able to answer clearly and politely. Who wants to go to a bakery that doesn't know its own products? If that feels like an issue, you can only consider two possibilities. First, they don't bother about details, which is not good when you're baking, and second, they don't even make their own goodies.
If you just moved to a new area, you can always go online to search for good bakeries nearby. If you've made any few friends, they should be able to help. It's a good thing you can read reviews online too, but only for the larger bakeries. Smaller ones usually depend on word-of-mouth.

My wonderful helper in the States finally managed to sort through the latest batch of Kangas from Kenya and post them for sale on eBay! I really scoured the markets high and low to find the prettiest Kangas with the nicest "Jina" (sayings) on them, and I think you're going to love what we've got!
All fabrics come as double panels, each one 45″ wide and approximately 3.25 yards in length (meaning individual panels are 1 1/8 yard). They are joined in the center (which is perfect for the wrap skirt pattern) but can be creatively cut to make all kinds of wonderful summer dresses, skirts, blouses and home dec projects.
This batch of 20 will stay up until it has sold out, and then we'll list the next one. So many beautiful fabrics here, just perfect for skirts, dresses, throw pillows, baby slings and more!
All orders ship from South Carolina, so no expensive air mail on these if you live in the US. If you want to combine orders, just drop a line through eBay's message system to let us know you want to hold before shipping everything together.

Located in the private community of Benway Landing on the Chain, our lakefront French country cottage was designed by national award winning home designer, Robert Martignoni of Building Science Associates.
Nestled in the woods on a private road, the house is built on a slope and offers views of the lake from the large great room, the master bedroom, the screened porch and the sprawling deck. The floor to ceiling windows in the great room provide plenty of light and add to the spacious feel. The stone (wood burning) fireplace is the focal point in the great room and not only warms the room but provides a romantic ambience on those cold winter nights.
The home features natural pine floors throughout with tile in bathrooms and carpet in upstairs loft. The gourmet kitchen has Jenn-Air appliances, including a gas stove with convection oven and French door style refrigerator with ice maker. The painted custom cabinets contrast the beautiful granite counter tops. There is plenty of storage and all kitchen essentials are provided including a Cuisinart blender, Kitchen Aid mixer, dishes, glasses, serving trays and cookware. The eating area seats six, with an adjoining enclosed screened porch that seats six to eight more guests.
The great room has just been updated with a 50" flat Plasma (HD) TV (DirecTV satellite service), a Blue Ray DVD player and a new stereo receiver with surround sound.
The master bedroom has a queen size iron bed and a closet with drawers and hanging space. The adjoining master bathroom includes a granite vanity, Jacuzzi corner tub, stall shower and linen closet.
The guest bedroom has a full size bed and is right around the corner from the main bathroom which has a granite vanity and stall shower.
The loft upstairs has a sofa bed which pulls out to a queen size bed. We've added a 4" memory foam topper to the mattress for extra comfort. There is a wonderful view of the lake from the loft.
The expansive outdoor deck is approximately 10' x 30'. Enjoy the quiet and serene setting gazing at the lake and surrounding wooded areas. There is a gas grill, Adirondack chairs, and a large table with umbrella which seats six to eight. Guests thoroughly enjoy drinking their morning coffee as the sun comes up on this wonderful deck.
The (unfinished) basement provides additional beds (great for kids) and game area. There are two full size beds, one twin bed and a roll-a-way bed in the basement along with a pool table and foosball table. The new walk out patio provides additional outdoor seating at ground level with easy access to the boardwalk leading to the lake. The fire pit area is conveniently located close to the walk out patio and there is an additional seating area down by the lake.
Attention wildlife enthusiasts! The cottage is located on Benway Lake, which is among the 'Upper Chain of Lakes'. The lakes are perfect for kayaking and canoeing. Paddle through all six lakes on one trip or break this fabulous landscape into day trips. Either way, you are in for a unique kayaking or canoeing experience. We have two one-person kayaks and a canoe for your use, as well as life jackets. Enjoy wildlife such as loons, swans, ducks and turtles. Fish for bass, pike, walleye, and even trout and muskie! We also have a row boat available so if you'd like to bring your own boat motor you can easily attach it.
Please note: There is not a sandy beach at this property, but both Lake Michigan and Torch Lake beaches are just ten minutes away.
The best northern Michigan golf courses are all a short drive away: Bay Harbor, Shanty Creek, The Chief, Hawks Eye, Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, A-Ga-Ming, Antrim Dells and Dunmaglas. The cottage is a great base location for golfer's who enjoy playing a different course each day. Excellent local restaurants include The Blue Pelican in Central Lake, Shorts Brewery in Bellaire and The Rowe in Ellsworth. Classic Pizza in downtown Central Lake has pizza and subs. And, believe it or not, the Central Lake BP gas station on M-88 also has great pizza (order fresh!), smoked chicken and smoked ribs! The local grocery store in Central Lake has most everything you will need to cook at home and if not, the large Family Fare market in Bellaire is a short drive away.

We built our cottage in 2005 as a family retreat and future retirement home. Since our careers moved us out of state, we are unable to visit as often and decided to share it with others. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Margaret Devall purchased this cottage in 2005
After spending many years visiting friends 'up north', we too began to fall in love with the areas natural beauty. We never thought we would find property that was on a lake (my requirement) AND had acreage (Tom's requirement). We purchased ten acres on Benway Lake in 2002 and began to build in 2003. We recently purchased the lot next door adding an additional three acres and lake frontage totaling 220'. We love the location as we feel the west side of Michigan is the most beautiful with its rolling hills, country roads, cherry and apple orchards, wineries and road side markets. We love the location and we love the house! We only wish we lived closer so we could enjoy it more. Our loss is your gain!
Golf in the summer and ski in the winter! What a great location near the best golf courses and ski slopes. Agaming and Shanty Creek are just 30 minutes away; Boyne Highlands, Boyne Mountain and Bay Harbor are just 40 minutes away. Stay home and walk the woods and country roads, sit on the deck with morning coffee, cook to your hearts desire in the wonderful kitchen. You may never want to leave the relaxation of the cottage. If you do venture out, don't miss going up to the picturesque town of Charlevoix on beautiful Lake Michigan, a lovely twenty minute drive northwest. Enjoy great shopping and food including American Spoon, fudge (of course), and ice cream! Another twenty minutes from Charlevoix is beautiful Petoskey, with Harbor Springs just a bit further up along Lake Michigan into Little Traverse Bay. Heading south on M-88 from Central Lake, Bellaire is just twenty minutes. You will find the famous Short's Brewery, recently expanded, a nice coffee shop and an ice cream parlor. Back in Central Lake, pick up a great pizza at the BP gas station or enjoy a nice dinner at the Blue Pelican. Want to go to the beach? A short drive due west (ten minutes) takes you to Torch Lake and Grand Traverse Bay beyond (Barnes Park), where you can lay on the public beach for hours (remember, we do not have a sandy beach at our property). Do you have a special occasion in which a fine dining experience is worthy? Drive no further than Ellsworth (ten minutes) to The Rowe Inn and enjoy their unique menu (reservations suggested).There are plenty of places to go and things to do. Don't forget Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island are both day trips from our cottage!
Two years in a row. Love this place and had another great time. Had my Dad's 80th up at the lake with friends and family. Many memories. Thanks again Margaret and Tom!
We spent a week on Benway Lake and had an awesome time. The pictures don't do the place justice. Everything is decorated so nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and entertain. The deck was nice to eat meals on and we used the grill every day. We brought our boat and fished a number of times. We didn't catch a lot of fish but enjoyed the water. We basically fished Benway Lake but plan on venturing out to the other Chain-of-Lakes the next time we rent. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. We are already planning our next visit. Can't wait.
Margaret was an absolute pleasure to work with in planning a brief stay on Benway Lake, even on very short notice! She was very accessible when we had questions.
We loved the spectacular lake views and foliage along with the extreme serenity of the area. We enjoyed the movie selection, cooking meals in the fantastic kitchen, grilling on the patio, and relaxing in the jacuzzi. I can imagine this house would make a great reunion/family gathering spot!
Only wish we would have had more time and better weather to enjoy!
We are frequent VRBO customers and have rented properties from many different owners in numerous states. But, our favorite destination is always the Chain-Of-Lakes near Bellaire. This year, we decided to try a new rental home, and we are so very pleased that we did so.
This beautiful lakefront cottage is everything it claims to be, plus more. The private, peaceful setting is perfect for anyone wanting to get away from the hussle and bustle of their daily lives. The home is well-maintained, clean and spacious. With plush bedding and bathroom linens, it felt like we were staying in 5-star resort. The screened-in porch became our jigsaw puzzle room and the deck, with its stunning view and comfortable seating, was our dining room for the week. I loved the gourmet kitchen and appreciated having every cooking and serving necessity at my fingertips.
The sturdy, modern dock easily accomodated our 18-foot boat and the smooth water of Benway Lake was our playground for early morning water skiing. Afternoons were spent boating up to Ellsworth or down to Intermediate Lake, with sitings of loon and river otters along the way.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a private, peaceful lake-side retreat.
We are looking forward to our vacation in this home again next year.
I want to thank you so very much for sharing your beloved home with our family. Your home was amazing. Every detail was so artfully done!!! And every possible kitchen tool was available for our Parisian foodies! We ate most meals on the deck over-looking the lake. The perfect blue sky and warm weather were an added bonus.
We hope we left everything in the same pristine condition as we found it.
My family used the canoe and 2 kayaks several times. Our 7 and 10-year old kids spent most of their free time collecting rocks and catching frogs, toads, caterpillars plus creating a natural habitat for them. Each night they let them go, and started over the next day. Also each night we had a bonfire and made marshmallow smores. Other activities included going hiking at Grass River Natural Area, raspberry picking at King's Orchard, going to an art festival in Alden, and swimming in Lake Michigan and Torch Lake. What fun!!!!
If you want a quality restaurant with a French-trained chef, we recommend LuLu's in Bellaire.
Thanks again for giving our family reunion a perfect setting.
This was a great house for my family of four, my 82 yo mother, and my sister and her daughter. Daily trips to Torch Lake beaches and short drives to Charlevoix. When the day was over, it was comforting coming back to such a beautiful house. Cooking dinners was easy with such a well-stocked kitchen that included plenty of counter space. The deck overlooks the lake and is very private with tall trees where my mother spent most of her time. Wasn't easy getting her off the deck and into the car at the end of the trip! Thanks again.
Great Lake Michigan beach located at Barnes Park, just a ten minute drive from our property. Many golf courses are located less than an hour away.

Milligan is 76. The last Goon Show, a series founded mainly on his inspiration, was recorded for BBC radio 34 years ago. At the British Comedy Awards last Sunday he may not have been the only member of the audience to think "about bloody time'' when he received his lifetime achievement award, but he was, inevitably, the only one to say it out loud. Then, when Jonathan Ross tried to read a tribute from Prince Charles, the Goons' most famous admirer, he was twice interrupted by Milligan's insults, which,most of those present decided, were affectionate.
Milligan's humour was always like that: anarchic and sometimes manic but also tender enough to stay just the right side of the good-taste barrier. When his fellow Goon, Peter Sellers, survived his first heart attack in the Sixties, Spike sent him a telegram: "Swine, Bloodnok. Had you insured."
Now, Sellers is dead and, of the other Goons, Harry Secombe has turned to musicals and Songs of Praise, and Michael Bentine has given up comedy sketches for talks on spiritualism and psychic phenomena. Only Milligan keeps the flame of Goonery alight. He is rewriting the classics: the latest, which has just arrived in the bookshops, is Wuthering Heights According to Spike Milligan. The humour is variable. Heathcliff appears as a Pakistani shopkeeper. "You are a very tall man,'' he said. "There's a reason,'' I said. "I'm on a horse.''
This was the sort of stuff that had the teenage Prince Charles in hysterics. "What's the weather like today, Min?" "I'll go and look out of the window, Henry.'' "Well, what's it like, Min?'' "I don't know, Henry. I can't see through the snow.''
Last week showed that Milligan can be more alternative than any alternative comedian. But he has given up trying to get scripts on television, he says. "I wrote for two years to the BBC controller, Alan Yentob - that name's got to be an anagram hasn't it- just asking him to repeat my series Q. All the Monty Python team acknowledged it as an influence. In the end he did repeat it but I had to go cap in hand, a begging job. No one has asked me to write any new stuff."
He lives in a beautiful and isolated house a few miles outside Rye in Sussex. It seems a characteristic touch that the house should be in a road called Dumb Woman Lane. When the phone rings, he answers as "your friendly district visiting rapist", a briefreminder that the Goons' humour might not always sit comfortably in the 1990s.
Perhaps for the first time, he has found serenity in his personal life. He lives with his third wife, Shelagh, 28 years his junior. They met when she went to work for him as a temporary typist and have been married for 11 years. He shuffles around in carpet slippers, stoking the fire in his Victorian stove, boasting that he does not know how to use the video machine or much other technology subsequent to the telephone. He can chat contentedly about his children and grandchildren and, in particular, about his new relationship with James, an illegitimate son from an affair during the 1970s. (They never met during the first 16 years of James's life but Milligan insists that he does not feel guilt "because I've never done any wrong - I've always supported him, sent him to school.") He has had a triple heart by-pass operation ("I couldn't afford more than a triple") but he now keeps to a daily fitness routine: a two-mile walk, a 30-length swim, and sit-ups, press-ups, and curls with bar bells.
Only once during our afternoon together did his good humour snap. I asked him what he thought of comedy on television today. "There isn't any," he said brusquely, and changed the subject.
MILLIGAN is not just one of Britain's most celebrated comedians; he is also probably our most famous manic depressive. He has had a dozen or so spells in mental hospitals. When I went to see him, he was on the phone to his psychiatrist, not on his own behalf but on behalf of what he thought was a fellow-sufferer - he said he had recognised symptoms in a girl who had been to one of his book-signings.
"I'm all right. I'm on lithium now,'' he said. "I started taking it a couple of years ago. It's a relief not to have to go into these mental homes any more. It all started in the War when a barrage of mortar bombs fell on us. I threw myself on the groundand something must have happened. I was unconscious for a couple of minutes. When I came to I was trembling and stammering. Whatever bravery I had, I had run out of. They said they would have to downgrade me. From that day I suffered mental illness.''
The depressions came regularly and when they did he would become obsessive about old wrongs done to him. He spent the first 14 years of his life in India, where his father was a regimental sergeant major, and he recalled a boy who had bullied him at his Roman Catholic school there. "When I went into the depression I felt I wanted to kill him. I was a merciless avenger. I would chop his balls off and sew them into his mouth and ask him to sing `Ave Maria'.'' His face flushed just recalling his anger.
The illness wrecked his first marriage, to June Marlow. They wed in 1952 and had three children, while the Goons were at their peak and he was writing scripts for £12.50 a week. "I was impossible to June, an ogre. I would go into black moods and not speak to her for months on end." She left him for another man, who did not want the children. Milligan got custody. He married again in 1962 to Patricia Ridgeway. She died of breast cancer in 1977. They had one daughter.
He may be a calmer man now. But he can still get angry and passionate. His commitment to environmental rights seems to know no limits. He would not have a photograph taken for this interview because "they always take so many snaps, and each reel of film has silver on - it's a waste of the Earth's resources". Though a devout Catholic, he calls the Pope an "environmental ignoramus" because of his attitude to birth control. His other big passion is for animal rights, and it caused a cooling of his long friendship with Prince Charles. "I told him I disapproved of hunting. He said: `What can I do? All my friends are there.' I said: `None of my friends are there.' " His love of animals, he says, began in India. "I saw how badly they were treated."
The Nationality Act, too, makes him angry. Milligan was told by a passport official that, because his father was born in Ireland before 1900, he was no longer a British citizen. He was stateless. Milligan fumes at the memory then bursts into giggles at what happened next. "I rang up the Irish embassy and spoke to a deputy secretary. He said: `Oh yes, I've seen you on television.' I asked if I could become Irish. `Bejasus yes,' he said, `we're terrible short of people.' "
Then the impish smile disappears. "Why should I stand in a room and swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen when I've just spent five years dodging bullets defending her. It made me ill, that bastard Hitler and his lot. They stole a lot of my life.''
A CONVERSATION with Milligan is like that: the sudden mood switches from sadness to merriment to anger. Before I go, he says that I remind him of a friend who died in the war. He spends some time finding a poem he wrote about him and then reads it to me.Then he switches the conversation to his next project, Black Beauty According to Spike Milligan. In the Milligan version, the adored mare turns nasty, "kicks people in the balls and tramples on their skulls".
These waves of hate directed at the human race surely represent more than the cliche about the sad private face of the clown, or the comedian's unrequited desire (see Tony Hancock) to be greater than his comedy. Where they spring from is a mystery - but from deeper roots, perhaps, than a mortar bomb. Speculation is in any case redundant. We should celebrate instead the creative side of Milligan's agonised personality, which revolutionised the things that made us laugh and gave Britain, for a time, the leading edge in radio and television comedy. Out of Milligan's mind (and, when they were not played by Sellers, his mouth) came Major Bloodnok, Bluebottle, Hercules Grytpype-Thynne, Eccles, Count Moriarty, characters embedded in plots that abandoned the humdrum habitat of radio shows - domestic and office life, husbands and wives, bosses and cleaning ladies - and roamed weekly through history and across the world.
The achievements of an easier man would have been recognised sooner. When recognition did come the tears kept welling in Milligan's eyes. About bloody time indeed.

text: Hopefully the topic of warning people about the recent events of this business as well as experiences can stay on the topic of.....business and not get messy like Ensogate. File disputes, claims, alert the Attorney General etc. I think it's important that people don't stoop to the level of trying to assault this woman's character or start pulling up random unrelated ish for drama purposes (like the Enso thing). Sometimes on forums when things like this happen, I think people get more consumed and into the drama and bullish than truly resolving the problem.

Enigma (1995)
by Robert Harris
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Pretty good. Submarines, codes and mathematics. How can you go wrong? Ending weak though.
I'm a big fan of Robert Harris' thrillers, and fascinated by the story of Bletchley Park. As a thriller, it doesn't quite reach the heights of Fatherland, but it's still a terrific page-turner, and there are sufficient twists to keep you guessing without the plot running away with itself. That said, it is fiction, and there were a few times when I thought "that wouldn't have happened" (and Harris repeats the Coventry myth in the closing pages - although as it was written in 1995 before recent scholarship put the myth to bed, that's perhaps excusable). Well-worth reading over a relaxing weekend.
Some parts about coding may have gone Swooosh! right over my head, but it didn't matter, I caught the gist of it and it didn't lessen my understanding or enjoyment. Turing has always held a fascination for me and although he didn't actually make an appearance in this story, he got many mentions. I especially liked the way the suspense mounted in the second half. Although I suspected some characters of not being what they claimed to be, I was still caught off-guard. Harris painted a perfect portrait of Great Britain as the war progressed and shortages became more difficult. As well as a captivating story, the details were very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Picked up this novel set in the codebreaking center Bletchley Park during world war II as a follow-up to reading Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I learnt less than what I had hoped about cryptography. And I do not find historical fiction in which the protagonists contribute major efforts to historical episodes that interesting.
This isn't the sort of book I'd normally pick for myself, which is why I joined a book club, I suppose.
This was the first spy book I've read, and possibly the last for a good while. My one star review is a reflection of the fact I don't find espionage the slightest bit interesting, nor have I ever understood what people see in cryptic crosswords and sudoku. Each to their own.
All that aside, I was prepared to like a book about wartime spies, except even as a non-specialist of the genre, I could see from reading other crime fiction and watching popular TV series that this writer, like so many others, has relied too much on stock characters. Robert Harris has said that he purposefully prioritises fast-paced plot over characterisation, and in this he succeeded. I didn't get to know Claire well enough before she disappeared, and was therefore not invested in finding out why she'd buggered off.
I am most fed up with plots which rely on beautiful (blond) women who use their sexuality to manipulate men in power ('Claire'), contrasted with plain, feminist, hard-working lesbian types who always seem to get screwed over (Hester Wallace).
Several things irritated me about the writing style. The character called Logie seemed to say 'old love' after every single thing -- a tic as annoying on the page as it would be in real life.
I got utterly sick of the constant snide jabs at Hester's clothing and appearance, in case the reader hadn't picked up from the initial thumbnail sketch exactly what sort of trope she is. Yet Hester was my favourite character. She saw right through the patriarchal bullshit of wartime: 'Everything interesting is done by men. Women do the rest', yet Jericho's main criticism is that she isn't pretty but could be: 'She could be pretty, he thought, if she put her mind to it.'
Pathetic characterisation aside, I thought the setting was painted adroitly and I almost felt for myself the cold of the night seep into my bones as I read.
Most disappointingly, I didn't identify with Jericho and therefore couldn't care about him either. I actively disliked him, actually, and I think it was from that moment he harassed Hester on her bicycle, refusing to let her go off into the night. Some men who accost women at night, even with good intent, don't seem to realise how terrifying it is for a woman.
I can't comment too much on the plot, except that it failed to hold my attention, but it wasn't lost on me that, once again, we have a story held together by the possibility that a sexually alluring woman has been strangled to death, her blood stained underwear found by the water.
That's what makes an interesting plot, is it? I'm getting mighty sick of that.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0804115486, Mass Market Paperback)A gripping World War II mystery novel with a cryptographic twist, Enigma's hero is Tom Jericho, a brilliant British mathematician working as a member of the team struggling to crack the Nazi Enigma code. Jericho's own struggles include nerve-wracking mental labor, the mysterious disappearance of a former girlfriend, the suspicions of his co-workers within the paranoid high-security project, and the certainty that someone close to him, perhaps the missing girl, is a Nazi spy. The plot is pure fiction but the historical background, Alan Turing's famous wartime computing project that cracked the German U-boat communications code, is real and accurately portrayed. Enigma is convincingly plotted, forcefully written, and filled with well drawn characters; in short, it's everything a good technomystery should be.

Wireless Network Setup Wizard Windows® XP
What is the method to set up a wireless network in Windows XP using the network set-up wizard?
Setting up a wireless network in Windows XP is easy. Windows XP comes with a built-in wireless network set up wizard. You need to access Network Connections window from 'Start' menu. You need to right click on it and then access 'Properties'. You need to click on 'Preferred networks' the 'Add' button. After that, 'Network name (SSID)'. You need to configure based on the network. Then you need to click 'OK'. You need to access 'Wireless Network Connection' dialog box and then click on 'Connect'. This will connect the computer to a wireless network. The wireless router needs to be set up. Make sure that the network standard used is universal.
The following are the tips to improve the wireless network speed in Windows XP:
- Set proper Networking Standard
- Reduce Interference
- Use broadband connection
Set proper Networking Standard
The wireless networking needs to be done at a fixed networking standard. The 802.11g Wireless standard is the widely used standard of networking. While using the router to any group of computers wirelessly, not all the computers might be able to access the network. If this is the case, you need to update the networking standards by updating the Windows.
Reduce Interference
The signal fluctuation might affect the performance of wireless network. While using wireless system in your system, often your signal might go down or show very weak signal strength because of the location of the router. Often telephones, microwaves, or other appliances may interfere with the wireless signal, so try to keep wireless router away from these equipments.

The incredible graduation rate celebrated by University of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball student-athletes under the guidance of head coach emeritus Pat Summitt for 38 seasons will forever remain at 100 percent.
Two senior Lady Vols hoopsters participating in Spring 2012 commencement ceremonies this week are Briana Bass (Indianapolis, Ind.) who will receive a B.S. degree in Education (majoring in recreation and sport management) and Shekinna Stricklen (Morrilton, Ark.) who will receive a B.A. in sociology. Stricklen, a rookie with the WNBAs Seattle Storm, was able to take a break from training camp and will be attending Friday's graduation festivities.
Fifth-year Vicki Baugh (Sacramento, Calif.) will earn her M.S. in kinesiology and sport studies with a concentration in sports psychology. Baugh is in training camp with the Tulsa Shock of the WNBA and is not expected to attend commencement.
The Lady Vol junior class of Taber Spani (Lee's Summit, Mo.) and Kamiko Williams (Clarksville, Tenn.) will be participating in graduation ceremonies as well. The duo joins Glory Johnson as Lady Vols completing degree requirements in just three years. Spani is a candidate to receive her B.A. in communications while majoring in communications studies and is expected to start graduate school in the Fall. Williams will graduate with a B.A. in sociology and plans to pursue a second degree in psychology as she completes her eligibility next season.
Summitt's son, Tyler, will also receive his B.A. in communications after completing his studies in just three years. Tyler begins his coaching career on May 21 when he reports to work as an assistant women's basketball coach at Marquette University.

Arkansas: Meet Martin Blaney
"The Ozark National Forest High Priority Restoration Project xis a critical tool for us to maintain our way of life here in the Ozark Mountains. It is putting people to work providing recreational equipment, outdoor sporting opportunities, mom and pop stores, and forest resources." Martin Blaney
Martin Blaney's first memories of northern Arkansas were as a child fishing with his grandpa and visiting with his family in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in the Arkansas River Valley.
"It's a place where in some respects, it has not changed that much with time," he says.
Today Martin lives in between the Ozarks and the Ouachita mountains, and for the past 27 years has been working to keep his memories alive as a wildlife conservationist. His role today with Arkansas Game and Fish accomplishes habitat restoration and management, providing wildlife benefits across the landscape for the people of Arkansas.
"I can't imagine doing anything else," says Martin. "The forests have provided a place for me, my family, and my career for years."
Martin is a strong supporter of the Ozark National Forest and has been engaged as a conservation partner in the effort to restore the forest and its wildlife.
"The Ozark National Forest High Priority Restoration Project is a critical tool for us to maintain our way of life here in the Ozark Mountains. It is putting people to work providing recreational equipment, outdoor sporting opportunities, mom and pop stores, and forest resources."
"It is my hope that one day my own grandchildren will be able to share this place with their own families," offers Martin. "I am thankful the Ozark National Forest HPRP is helping make this hope come true."
The Ozark Highlands Ecosystem Collaborative project is one of the High Priority Restoration projects funded outside of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration program. The dense forests and open woodlands of the Ozark Highlands are important for a variety of wildlife species, including elk, turkey, Bachman sparrow, Ozark Chinquapin, and the federally endangered Indiana and Ozark Big-eared Bats.
Through thinning and controlled burn treatments, the project is expanding elk habitat and hunter opportunity, while also making this unique American forest more resilient to wildfire, drought, insects, pollutants, and climate change to maintain the area's value for people, water, and wildlife across the 217,892-acre High Priority Restoration (HPRP) project.

We're gearing up for a trip to the dentist and my kids are going to be experts on what makes our teeth "happy" and "sad"! This project a great chance to review all the things we can do to take care of our teeth and all the things we should be avoiding. My kids loved looking through the magazines and my little ones were thrilled to get their hands on scissors.
Gather your materials. Kid-friendly magazines with lots of pictures of food work great for this activity. We used Parenting, Parents, and Disney Family Fun.
The kids had fun looking through the magazines for things that make teeth happy (toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, dairy products for calcium, vitamins, fruits, and vegetables) and things that make teeth sad (soda, coffee, tea, sugary foods). I had fun listening to them discuss which side of the tooth to put each picture on. It is probably the only time I'll hear my son say "ice cream is very bad"!

Yes I still get these codes. There are two oxygen sensors the other reads bank two. The code I get is for bank one. thanks for the reply hope to get more info from you
Q: bad fuel mileage on 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan
(1) Answer
(1) Comments
If the P0172 code is set for one bank only, then the O2 sensor wouldn't be the cause. Check for vacuum leaks on that side (bank one) of the engine or a leaking injector.
(please use the "Add Response" button on the question page, thx)
(please use the "Add Response" button on the question page, thx)
I just had it smoke checked and there were no leaks. I also changed a bad injector about a month ago the rest were fine. Was kinda wondering about the air charge sensor I think that is the name for it. Thanks

Manuka honey could be an efficient way to clear chronically infected wounds and could even help reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics, according to research presented at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Conference in Harrogate.
Professor Rose Cooper from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff is looking at how manuka honey interacts with three types of bacteria that commonly infest wounds: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Group A Streptococci and Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Her group has found that honey can interfere with the growth of these bacteria in a variety of ways and suggests that honey is an attractive option for the treatment of drug-resistant wound infections.

GM had an excess demand for Z06 and watched as the dealers took down deals at $10K over sticker. Wanting to get in on the action, GM raised the sticker price. Flash forward to 2008 and now we have 989 2008's and 78 2007's. Can anyone say 200 day supply. The general better get moving.

Long Asymmetric Hair, Very Cool Hairstyles
As it takes such an amount of time to grow your locks long, during the process you can become rather attached to your hair.
This means that even when in a styling rut, you may be reluctant to cut your tresses yet still feel desperate for a change.
Long Asymmetrical hairstyles can be the best way to fix your hair woes when you find yourself in a situation such as this.
Yes, many people gravitate towards Asymmetrical hairstyles for the ability to have a totally clipped cut. However, long Asymmetrical hairstyles can be just as innovative without forcing you to loose loads of length.
Those who are a touch more bold, may decide to just take one side super short while leaving the other to cascade down.
You could also choose a long Asymmetrical hairstyle that does not compromise much length but takes your bangs to a new level of angled loveliness. With a long Asymmetrical hairstyle, there are no rules except the ones that you set. Since they are your locks, you can make; break and change the hair laws as you see fit.
Some women would love to try an Asymmetrical hairstyle for their long locks but are reluctant to follow the crowd. While it is true that long Asymmetrical hairstyles are the rage right now, each one is actually very unique.
Unlike many other hairstyles, especially those geared towards long hair, an Asymmetrical hairstyle can be adjusted to become what you want it to be. This is also true when it comes to flattering your facial features.
If you see an Asymmetrical style that you would like to attempt on your long hair, but fear that it will not compliment your face shape, simply have it changed until it does. A long Asymmetrical hairstyle gives you the chance to flirt with high hair fashion without loosing your well-loved length.

Expanding Acupuncture Services to Low-Income Populations "Is Morally Correct"
Dear Editor:
Dr. Bauer's article on insurance reimbursement (editor's note: see "Managed Care and the Acupuncture Profession" in the February 2001 issue) was much needed.
I agree with Dr. Bauer that we need to expand our services to lower income populations because it is morally correct. It is ridiculous to service the yuppie, white, middle- and upper-middle classes exclusively. Moreover, it is na€ve. There are many other people out there who can benefit from our care, and the important question one must ask oneself is, "Who needs my help?" Go and help them, and the costs will balance themselves out because of the community in which the office space is opened. Having an expensive office space and inviting lower income patients there doesn't make sense.
Stephen Kaplan, LAc, LMT New York, New York
"I appreciate Dr. Wilcox's willingness to think big and think outside the box"
Dear Editor:
Glen Wilcox's two articles on "Defining a Primary Care Provider" gave me a lot to think about. Dr. Wilcox makes several thoughtful points about the value and skill that LAcs and DOMs bring to our current health care system. We have a lot to offer, and our clients, often refugees from managed allopathic care, are fortunate to have discovered Oriental medicine.
However, I am concerned about his suggestion that with a little more training, we could function with the same skill as nurse practitioners and thus fulfill the PCP role of providing all necessary health screening.
I am a registered nurse, as well as a licensed acupuncturist. I trained rigorously in allopathic theory, then spent several years caring for critically ill adults in hospitals. I then went to acupuncture school. Now, the longer I practice Oriental medicine and seek to really know and master that system, the less I remember the details and nuances of Western medicine. Each system - traditional Oriental or modern biomedicine - requires years of study, and then years of practice to master. It is not a simple matter to learn how and when to order diagnostic tests. It takes years of practice to listen to a lung and know what you are hearing. Similarly, it has taken each of us years of practice to become excellent providers of Oriental medicine. I can't imagine becoming truly proficient and competent in both systems (well, maybe if I were younger). It reminds me a little of how MDs sometimes so easily imagine they can master acupuncture in a few weekends. We should be careful not to underestimate the skill and depth of experience needed to do their job well.
I do appreciate Dr. Wilcox's willingness to think big and think outside the box. The managed health care system is quite a disaster for both patients and providers. LAcs and DOMs bring something very valuable to this health care situation. I'd love to see more work to document how much money we save these managed care companies, although studies like those take years to complete. Meanwhile, I think we should be careful about trying to be more competent in more than one paradigm. Each system requires a great deal of effort and devotion.
Leslie McGee, RN, LAc Tucson, Arizona

Why Patient-Centricity Improves Brand Tailoring and Targeting
One of the main objectives in both marketing and health education is to reach the right individuals with the right messaging in an attempt to change their behavior. This is the value of patient centricity in healthcare. Patient-centric messaging not only provides useful information to patients, but also strives to motivate them to achieve positive outcomes, leveraging a communication style with which they are comfortable. A meta-analysis of tailored, web-based content indicates these interventions can impact behavioral outcomes and help people maintain these behaviors over time.1 A separate meta-analysis of printed material, conducted in 2007, also supports the use of tailoring to achieve changes in health behaviors.2
The benefits of patient-centric tailoring are both cognitive and psychosocial. On the cognitive side, tailoring increases attention, self-referential thinking (thinking about oneself with regards to the message) and comprehension of the message. On the psychosocial side, tailoring can address and even alter attitudes, norms or agreed upon cultural rules that guide behavior and self-esteem.
Fulfilling Life Science Industry Needs
In a recent research project, we were asked to explore patient experiences with our client's product in a rather competitive market. In an effort to prevent treatment discontinuation, our client wanted to thoroughly understand which resources patients on the product have used in the past, what they have had to overcome while taking the medication, and what tools/information they benefited from. Through a deeper understanding of the patient experience, our client hoped to tailor their messages and materials to align with the changing needs of patients over time as well as anticipate what the impact of competitors in this space and take these learnings to constructively communicate with them.
To achieve these research goals, we first conducted a background screener to identify qualified patients within the Inspire community who had taken the client's product for a certain amount of time. Once this finite population was identified from a much larger pool, the team conducted in-depth interviews with each individual, listening carefully for what the patients were thinking, feeling, doing, struggling with, or needed at each stage of the healthcare journey.
Kathryn Ticknor, Inspire's Senior Research Manager and lead researcher on this project noted that "While everyone is an individual with their own story, there were many strong recurring themes along each of the stages of the patient journey. Our goal, by investigating the patient journey, was to help build a 'roadmap' for the client to navigate and develop materials for patients that not only address their needs but also speaks to them in a manner with which they are accustomed."
Maximizing the Call to Action in Healthcare
With insights provided through patient-centric research, clients can gather the information necessary for successful message tailoring. As demonstrated through various large-scale studies, tailoring is paramount to create content that impacts patient outcomes and should be an essential tool for all marketing and health education efforts in the future. In the current healthcare environment, where patient centricity has become a cornerstone for all involved parties, conducting research that allows for companies to communicate with, rather than, talk to patients should be the first step in creating truly successful campaigns. See our case studies for more information.

Digital and social media tools can have a positive and negative impact on pharma. The tools can be used to increase sales but they can also be turned against pharma via snarky, unflattering memes. And, don't forget, everything you say can be used against you!

From KOL Marketing to Digital Opinion Influencers #hcsmeufr #digital #pharma
"Pharma has long recognized the power of key opinion leaders, but with HCPs and patients now acquiring information about disease and treatment online, there is a new opportunity for "digital opinion influencers"
Should pharma consider using influencer marketing?
This blog asks should pharma influencer marketing be a part of your brand strategy?
HCPs, patients, trusted non-profit groups, and the occasional celebrity endorser all have one thing in common: they can impact healthcare decisions. The candid opinions of other people have long been able to influence how people assess their own options. When trusted figures express their views on a product or service, customers take notice. This phenomenon, often called word-of-mouth advertising, is now being taken to a larger scale through influencer marketing. As this marketing tool grows in popularity, should pharma consider using influencer marketing?

How Digital is Pharma? | Thought leadership and innovation for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Digital transformation will impact pharma in many ways, not least through innovation in medical technology, customer experience for both patients and healthcare professionals, and platforms to facilitate and measure outcomes-based care. What is clear is that companies will need a deep understanding of the digital world and improved internal skills if they are to succeed.
To better understand how ready companies were for the digital tidal wave, a year ago, we looked at the digital intensity of pharma companies, and highlighted J&J's strength and the slower response of others, such as AstraZeneca and Pfizer. To measure digital intensity, we looked at the number of employees who referred to 'digital' in their LinkedIn title.
In February, we repeated the analysis for a third year; the big news is that Bayer has joined J&J/Janssen at the top of the table, with 4.8 digital employees per thousand, an increase of 150% since 2015 when it went public with its digital transformation project.
Examples of Bayer's external actions include a more relaxed/digitally native voice on social media and the grant4apps program that encourages external innovation, while, internally, it has run hackathons and worked to change its culture. It will be interesting to see how this momentum and focus changes while integrating with Monsanto.
J&J continues to invest in digital and remains ahead – but only just. Recent external actions included a sleep tracking and coaching system for babies, and investments in StartUp Health and an ADHD app in Japan. It has also added positions focused on digital health at its innovation labs.
Novartis' growth has levelled off; it is likely bedding down a number of organizational changes and trying to prove the effectiveness of its current approach. It recently announced the launch of a connected inhaler with Propeller Health, which now has five partnerships with pharma companies. Also, the company has stated an interest in moving to outcomes-based payments, so it will be interesting to see how it uses digital in this space.
Eli Lilly continued its strong growth on our measure of digital intensity, and has made some external investments including a connected Epi Pen. Sanofi and GSK remained the middle of the pack; an interesting example is GSK's partnership with 2Morrow, which allows patients to order nicotine patches free from an app, a model of patient convenience and a break with the doctor as gatekeeper that others could follow.
The digital divide between Roche and Genentech identified last year continued [1], with Roche growing by 29% and Genentech staying steady. Roche has invested in capabilities to improve clinical trial efficiency as well as its digital marketing and multichannel capabilities.
Pfizer also saw strong growth, moving it out of the bottom three. In addition to marketing capabilities, like Roche, it has invested in digital capabilities in clinical trials. Pfizer's low position was taken by Abbvie, which has moved down the table from third two years ago due to a lack of significant changes on this measure.
Merck and AstraZeneca remain at the bottom. Merck grew 36% and has a number of investments, with the Merck Global Health Innovation Fund in workflow, behavioral change and chronic care support that could be support future moves. AZ was flat in numbers but launched AZHelps to support patients with information and access for its medicines and basic support for non-AZ medications.
We'd love to hear how you think the digital title reflects the true commitment of these companies and how it compares to the changes you've seen in the last 12 months.

Facebook's Invite-Only Health Summit for #Pharma. Are You Invited?
Facebook is hosting an invitation-only summit dedicated to health on June 6 in New York, according to a source familiar with the matter. CNBC tracked down a screenshot of the invitation, which has the tagline, "Health in the era of mobile."
It's part of an initiative for advertisers called "Facebook Health," run by a small team reporting into former Google director Meredith Guerriero. The team includes about a dozen people based in New York, our source says, as well as others in Washington, D.C., and Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, according to Medical Marketing & Media.
The source said the June 6 meeting is primarily geared to marketers in the pharmaceutical industry, although other health industry leaders might also be in attendance. The person expects Facebook Health to unveil tweaks to the ad product, so pharma companies can more easily plug themselves on the platform. It could focus on mobile video, as that's been a major focus for the team.
Our source said that Google and Twitter hired large teams to work with pharmaceutical companies on ad campaigns, but Facebook hasn't had a real seat at the table until the past year. In November, the company made its first appearance at a conference to show off its scrolling ISI feature to pharma executives. That feature allows drug companies to remain inside Facebook's limits for text and photo copy but incorporate required safety information. After the rollout, Bayer launched its first Facebook ad campaign for a multiple sclerosis drug and injector (read "Bayer's Betaseron Facebook Ad Uses a New Feature: Scrolling ISI"; http://sco.lt/77xvd3).
Industry reports show that pharma has been slower than other industries to shift its ad budgets from television and print to digital, making it a prime target for tech companies. The research firm eMarketer estimated in 2016 that pharma and health care marketers spent $1.64 billion on mobile and online advertising, but projected that number to rise to $2.55 billion by 2019.

New Paradigm of pharma industry
KPMG has recently published a report titled 'Pharma outlook 2030: From evolution to revolution'. Mr Ajay K Sanganeria, Partner, Life Sciences, KPMG in Singapore, shares his views on the evolving trends in the pharma industry
Ground breaking therapies, advances in technology, and increased access to data by patients are keys.
Drugs Approved by #FDA So Far in 2017 are Mostly Targeted to Smaller Patient Populations
The number of new drugs approved for sale in United States and Europe has bounced back this year [so far], suggesting a marked slowdown in 2016 was an aberration rather than a sign of flagging research and development productivity.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already cleared 21 new prescription medicines for sale against 22 in the whole of 2016 (read "New Drugs Approved by FDA in 2016 is Half the Number Approved in 2015"; http://sco.lt/55JaUb), and just nine at this stage last year.
The European Medicines Agency has recommended 42 compared with a 2016 total of 81, and 31 in the first five months of last year. Unlike the FDA, the EMA includes generic or non-patented drugs in its list.
John LaMattina, a former research head for Pfizer and a board member at PureTech Health, is unsurprised by the rebound and believes concerns raised at the end of 2016 about deteriorating drug pipelines were "far too dire".
Hilary Thomas, chief medical adviser at KPMG, said U.S. regulators in particular were showing an innovative approach that was helping to accelerate approvals - as highlighted by a novel decision to clear a cancer drug for the first time based on genetics, not tumor location.
Still, the targeted nature of many new medicines will limit the overall patient population getting the latest wave of novel drugs.
"What the data masks is that while there might be more approvals, the total number of people getting new drugs is probably not going to up hugely because these are more specific, personalized treatments," she said.

I love a guy who loves cats.
I'm an atheist (actually, a secular humanist, but few people know what that is, so I usually just say atheist). I get a lot of messages on this site from people who are clearly religious. It's not that I have a problem with you, but you'll probably have a problem with me.
I smoke pot every day (I like to tell people that my life is a Dr. Dre album). I eat mushrooms every now and then. For some reason, a lot of people think that "behavior" should have stopped by my age, but it hasn't, and it probably won't any time soon. I rarely drink more than a glass or two of wine. So I don't really "party" and I'm not your typical drugged out loser. I'm more high-functioning than any sober person you know.
I'm originally from Los Angeles and I go home often. I hope to live there again one day.
I write fiction (though not right now--see last sentence), and I've been trying to get a final draft of my novel done for going on a year.
I'm a damn good home cook
I make the best mixed CDs ever. It usually takes me a week or two because I really try to customize it for the person I'm making it for, and I'll listen to hundreds of songs before I come up with a track list.
If I'm wearing sandals or heels or something with no socks, I notice that people tend to look at/read the tattoos on my feet while trying to look like they're not.
That being said, I really like music festivals.

Area: Audit
Why the Fed?
|During our recent financial crisis, the prompt and decisive actions of the Federal Reserve curtailed economic disaster. Thoroughly impressed, I wanted to be a part of the institution and work alongside the people who drive the effort to maintain our financial system.
My Responsibilities
|My responsibilities include planning and performing audit engagements around the New York Fed and across the Federal Reserve System. The main objective is to work with our clients and counterparties across the Bank and System to appraise and improve process efficiency while effectively achieving objectives set forth by management.
Challenges and Rewards of My Job
The main challenge has been navigating the uniqueness of the institution in terms of overall responsibilities and functions performed. As an auditor, becoming familiar with the New York Fed's operations and processes is fundamental to becoming a value-adding agent of change. I have found that the people across the institution are quite welcoming and eager to provide needed information and guidance. Recognition by management and peers for a job well done is rewarding and part of the culture here.
How Is the Fed Unique?
Aside from the obvious uniqueness of the Fed, I find the people to be extraordinarily different from those you would find in other institutions. The people here genuinely care about doing the right thing, in the right way, for the benefit of the most people. Personally, I feel that the greatest amount of job satisfaction is centered around those who you interact with on a daily basis. I truly enjoy the camaraderie and collegiate atmosphere at the New York Fed, where the same senior leadership working hard in support of the mission of the Bank will occasionally have fun with staff by singing karaoke or playing basketball.
