Fibrocystic breast changes is a commonly used phrase to describe painful, lumpy breasts.
Alternative Names
Fibrocystic breast disease; Mammary dysplasia; Diffuse cystic mastopathy; Benign breast disease; Glandular breast changes
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The exact cause is not known. It is believed that hormones made in the ovaries can make a woman's breasts feel swollen, lumpy, or painful before or during menstruation each month.
Up to half of women have this problem at some time during their life. It is most common between the ages of 20 and 45. It is rare in women after menopause, unless they are taking estrogen.
Some women feel that eating chocolate, drinking caffeine, or eating high-fat foods cause their symptoms. But there is no clear proof of this.
Symptoms usually get better after you go through menopause. If you take birth control pills, you may have fewer symptoms. If you are on hormone therapy, you may have more symptoms.
Symptoms are usually worse right before your menstrual period and improve after your period starts.
Symptoms can include:
- Pain or discomfort in both breasts
- The pain commonly comes and goes with the period, but can last through the whole month
- Breasts that feel full, swollen, and heavy
- Pain or discomfort under the arms
- Thick or lumpy breasts
You may have a lump in the same area of the breast that becomes larger before each period and shrinks afterward. This type of lump moves when it is pushed with your fingers. It does not feel stuck or fixed to the tissue around it. This lump is common with fibrocystic breasts.
You may have discharge from the nipple. If the discharge is clear, red, or bloody, talk to your health care provider right away.
Signs and tests
Your health care provider will examine you. This will include a breast exam.Tell your doctor or nurse if you have noticed any breast changes.
If you are over 40, ask you doctor or nurse how often you should have a
You may need further tests if a lump was found during a breast exam or your mammogram result was abnormal. Another mammogram and breast ultrasound may be done.
Women who have no symptoms or only mild symptoms do not need treatment.
Your health care provider may recommend the following self-care measures:
- Take over-the-counter medicine such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen
- Apply heat or ice on the breast
- Wear a well-fitting or sports bra
Some women believe that eating less fat, caffeine, or chocolate helps with their symptoms. But there is no good evidence that these measures help.
Vitamin E, thiamine, magnesium, and evening primrose oil are not harmful in most cases. But studies have not shown these to be helpful. Before taking any medicine or supplement, talk with your health care provider.
For more severe symptoms, your health care provider may prescribe hormones, such as birth control pills or other medicine. Take the medicine exactly as instructed. Be sure to let your provider know if you have side effects from the medicine.
Surgery is never done to treat this condition.
Expectations (prognosis)
If your breast exams and mammograms are normal, you do not need to worry about your symptoms. Fibrocystic breast changes do not increase your risk of breast cancer. Symptoms usually improve after menopause.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
You find new or different lumps during your
breast self exam
You have new discharge from the nipple or any discharge that is bloody or clear
You have redness or puckering of the skin, or flattening or indentation of the nipple

Muppy 008.4c (final release)
Subject description: mini system with optional 6 Gb of software
is a small, modified version of Puppy.
It is only
It includes Abiword, Opera and mplayer.
The main difference to Puppy is, that I replaced almost all programs and libraries with the latest versions from Slackware 12.1 and the patches from GnomeSlackbuild.org.
This allows you, to install all the modern programs from the Slackware repositories using the packagemanager "gslapt".
You also can use most software compiled for Puppy 4, though Muppy originally was based on Puppy 3.
The integrated Backup tool makes it easy to restore your system, in case you break something.
MInI = MODULAR SYSTEM
Some people do not like, to install many packages manually.
So we have created "addons.sfs", an
400 MB addon file, with many libraries, codecs and programs.
So you have grafics accelleration, the
3D compiz desktop
, Wine 1.1.4 to run Windows Programs.
It also includes
, several Chat programs (pidgin, ayttm), media players and Gimp.
Even more exotic things are included, like Java and Samba.
The libraries in addons.sfs even allow you, to use other extensions, that include the huge desktops
and Gnome
We also created an office.sfs with
Adobes Acrobat Reader
OpenOffice 3
rc1 (will be replaced in october with the final version).
Muppy has a limit, you can use just 3 addons at once.
So I also created a 1.5 GB addon, that includes all others.
So Muppy-mini, addons.sfs and megapack.sfs give you a Puppy, that consists of 6 GigaByte (uncompressed size) of programs!
Muppy-Live is a 800 MB CD.
It combines Muppy-Mini, addons.sfs, games.sfs and Office.sfs in one system, that can be run directly from CD.
I recommend to use this version, if you plan a full harddrive install.
In general, I do NOT recommend full harddrive installs.
But on some very old hardware, it can perform better, than the recommended frugal installation.
Muppy-Live is suited better for the full installation, as it includes all Kernel modules in the main sfs file.
This is different to the Mini, that has them in a seperate "zmsy" (zdrv) file, that is not installed in full installations.
Both Desktops are optional.
I reworked the KDE menusystem, to get a nicely categorized menu with Puppys programs included.
The Gnome integration is not as good as the KDE support.
In Gnome, several programs are listed in "lost+found".
Some system programs like the usermanager do not work.
These issues are very difficult to solve, I hope we can do this together for the next release. I could need help here.
You can get everything from.
the download no longer is valid, get new information here:
The folders are seperated in "Live" and "Mini", and also in "english" and "german".
The folder "Addons-Common" includes the optional extensions like Gnome/KDE. They are multilanguage.
(from reports in this thread)
- install the ServicePack.pet before you shutdown and save.
Simply download it with your webbrowser, and click on it in the filemanager, to install it.
- If you cannot get your wireless network up, please update the network wizard:
- if you use the DVD-edition, type in a consolewindow:
That fixes some mime-links.
I want to
all those people, wo gave me valuable feedback in the older "0084beta" thread.
I think I could fix many issues, but certainly not all.
Please let me know, if your problems were solved, or if further investigatiion is required.
Special thanks
go to ttuuxx and wolfpup, who created several packages, which I incorporated.
And of course to Plinej, Zigbert, HairyWill, Barry and all the others for utilities like Pburn, Pnethood or Puppy itself.
The official homepage will be updated somewhen in october, when the updated version 0084D is released with OpenOffice3 final.
To get a general overview over Muppy, you may want to visit it, despite it still describes version 0083:
We also plan to create new versions of "embryo" and "server" within the next month.

Hope you enjoyed your recent trip
I am downloading the live edition.
The last edition of Muppy I tried was excellent, looked good and felt solid but had many differences to Puppy that I knew would confuse me (it doesn't take much)
You seem to have a fast server - looks like the download is only going to take 10 minutes . . .
The Slackware compatibility (which for good reasons were partially abandoned in Puppy 4.xx) makes this a sustainable - I was going to say puplet . . . but it is a true fork
As Barry retires [wipes away tear] I am keen on working out new possibilities.
I know this is one.
Will let you know how I get on

I was away only for 2 days.
You can find a link to fotos at bottom of this thread:
I did not post much in the last days, as I was busy in updating and fixing Muppy.
I'm also in contact with someone, wo creates a simplified, cut down version of Live.
This gives me important hints to make it easier for people in future, to create customized versions, or what menu-entries might be removed for more simplicity.
And I worked on the buildsystem for easier localization (follows tomorrow).
So a lot of work "behind the scene".

Well I am in Muppy Live
It connected to the Ethernet DHCP automagically
That's good
It also tried to use compiz, then decided my graphic card (from Sage) was not up to it and booted up easily enough. I will switch over to my Nvidia card which should enable compiz.
Something to look forward to . . .
The desktop reminded me of Knoppix - you get EVERYTHING
As ever you get more with Puppy
I disabled the desklet, conky and switched to JWM
Much simpler (for me)
Muppy is highly customisable.
A lot of software, games. themes, OpenOffice 3
- you name it, Muppy has it
Am I right that if I have 1 Gig of ram - the whole thing will run from ram?
I only have 512MB but the speed of pulling from DVD was OK
much faster than other 'live' DVD's
(tip: if you have a DVD burn Puppy/Muppy to DVD - not CD as they are faster)
My next task is to switch to Firefox (hey it is there - Opera, Seamonkey and Firefox), install Xara and play bubbles again . . .
update: Firefox 3.1 crashed at its first glimpse of the BBC's site
As you know this is probably the latest Flash . . . Can not be bothered to sort out.
Opera has no spell checker. Now using Seamonkey quite happily . . .
I look forward to other peoples impressions.
This really deserves a wider usage and adoption.
Is Muppy on Distrowatch, Digg or any other publicity rounds?
m m m . . .
It amazes me how much work and possibilities exist in Muppy.
I look forward to the simplified Live CD.
Woof! Woof!

Post subject: Muppy-Live and Mini-Muppy ISOs both failed checksum
Subject description: downloaded Live and Mini En, had to stop download and move partials, resumed and failed md5sum
Hi Mark. Have just finished downloading Mini-Muppy and Muppy LIve, and both have failed the checksum.
I had a problem with storage because I mistakenly set gFTP to save to my 2fs file (mnt/hda1) ran out of space and had to stop the download, move the partials to /mnt/home (I have trouble keeping this straight), and resume the downloads.
They finished without any error messages, but the md5sum was completely different.
Any idea what happened? Does it mean I have to toss them and start over?
I downloaded the Muppy-Mini ISO a second time, and this download passed checksum. But the two downloads report exactly the same byte count in properties...
If I burn Muppy Live to CD or DVD, is there any way to check the file integrity after the burn?

Genius strikes again! That's not a "mini", Mark. You seem to have squeezed more into your mini than a lot of major distros manage in four times the .iso .
Very difficult to find much to comment about. A few opportunities to learn a little German in the English version(!), the poweroff issue remains - as with most recent Puppy releases, no xmms for really intractable multimedia, 'live' won't overburn on any of my CD s, and I prefer System Stats or HardInfo to XProc. No showstoppers there, though.
Well done and many thanks, Mark.
Update: the liveDVD is awesome. Tried to do a FULL install but got looping during final boot stages. Seen this before. GRUB seems OK. First line of looping text mentions <touch>, but some problem with starting X - can't read it nor stop scrolling. Will try to fix this but it's not really my

Did you use a 800 MB CD?
i have none here at moment, so I cannot try it on my own.
Pburn showed a size of 791 MB for the german LiveCD, the english one is smaller.
So they should fit on a 800 MB CD?
If not, I had to remove something, but what? The games maybe?
Please could you tell me, where you encountered german texts?
If will check that and re-upload a version with english texts this weekend, or create a servicepack.pet then.
Concerning the error with full installations:
can others confirm that?
Is it a general bug, or maybe hardware specific?
I think I made no changes here, and for the beta there were reports, that full installations worked.
I'd like to get an idea, what might cause your error.
poweroff: In grub, I use the option: acpi=force
Then my old Pentium 700 powers off at shutdown.
the Live CD would load to Ram, if you had 1 GB of Ram.
If you have less, please try the mini, or let it copy msy_084.sfs to your harddrive for faster access when you create the savefile.
BBC, Firefox crash: oh yes, I can reproduce this.
Please use flash 9:
In the startmenu - "internet" - "activate Flash in your web browser"
That works for me.
Flash 10 in muppy is rc2, but rc1 has the same bug. Hope Adobe fixes it for the final version.
If the checksum is wrong, you need to re download.
For such big files, I recommend wget.
cd /mnt/hda5/downloads
wget -c ftp://ks301128.kimsufi.com/Muppy0084/final/C/Live-english/Muppy-Live-008.4c-EN.iso
Thanks, Mark

Hello Mark,
I've downloded MuppyMini iso without trouble.
I began translating Muppy Mini in french, but it seems gnumeric is missing. There is an icon on desktop but i've search for gnumeric with no success.
I noticed Tkdiff doesn't work. It start well, but it failed when clicking on OK button.

I was just looking for something to say, Mark! Otherwise I was blown away by your remarkable gifts.
Don't have any 800 s so used a DVD-RW, not much difference in price. After all, I stick Dingo onto 700 CD s, so 87% of that is wasted.
Yes, acpi=force is my favourite utility!
During booting, "puppyselect ......laus???..."
and after k/b selection:
Richte Netzwerkkarten
But I wouldn't loose any sleep over it - it'll do some folks good to realise that this is not an English, as in England, work (although I often wonder what an Englishman is - Saxe-Coberg-Goethe and all that sort of thing!)
The looping thing may be because I'm only offering 398Mb of memory, or because I didn't scrape all the BSD out of the MBR before re-partitioning. Lots of things to try, but I seem to remember it as a Muppy feature??
If you can ask me some very simple questions, utilities to use, files to examine, I don't promise, but I can try to help locate the cause.
Later. When I installed the liveDVD, I was running in Xorg mode with nv drivers and CP active. THis may have been a little too much? What I did: run the CD in pfix=ram, run in XVESA, copy over the X11 files from DVD to HD. It didn't work - still loops.

I knew it!
I will have to upgrade
. . .or let it copy msy_084.sfs to your harddrive for faster access when you create the savefile.
My 14GB hard drive was too full but will do this, as soon as I clear my
stock of sardine videos . . .
One of the things is some deamons appear on the JWM taskbar - I think it is the weather - two daemons appear with clouds . . .

gnumeric is in addons.sfs (for the Mini) and in Muppy-Live.
Version 1.8.2 has become too huge to be incorporated in the Mini.
A french translation PET for Muppy follows in some days, GW already did most of the job
german: i tink I know, will be just one of the startup files, easy to update.
I'll prepare a fix for the weekend.
The full install problem is more difficult.
I will have to try it here on my own machine, maybe I can reproduce the error.
I hope I can find out the reason this week.

wget -c ftp://ks301128.kimsufi.com/Muppy0084/final/C/Live-english/Muppy-Live-008.4c-EN.iso
Thanks, Mark
Thanks Mark. Have just downloaded it again with wget, averaging 347KB/sec., and it passed md5sum check.
Some additional questions for you:
1. a recent post by Sage suggests (I may have misunderstood) the Muppy Live ISO may not fit on a CDR, but must be burned to DVD, and another poster has suggested that it will run much faster from DVD. Would appreciate your comments/suggestions on this issue.
2. can Muppy Mini load and run as a frugal install in 160MB of RAM?
3. Can Muppy Live also be installed as a frugal (I don't have 1GB of RAM available on any of my desktop machines)? If so, does the addon.sfs have to be in the same vfat partition as the main files, or can it be on another partition or on removable media (ie. pcmcia_flash or CD/DVD)?
4. if installed as frugal in tandem with another frugal Puppy, how does Muppy Mini need to be stored on the host partition in order to boot from DOS without GRUB?
I've never been able to get Grub working on my laptop (it insists on trying to boot from the Linux partition, and won't look for the frugal files) , and currently use the following batch file in DOS to boot Puppy 3.01 Retro:
LINLD.COM image=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz "cl=root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd acpi=on"
IIRC, I've been told this will still work if I move the Linux files to folders one level below root on idehd, but haven't yet tried it. If this is true, will I get a prompt asking which version I want to boot, or will I need modified DOS batch files for each frugal Pup?

Treepad Alternative - Cherrytree
So today I'll be writing about a wonderful project from an Italian programmer, named Giuseppe (aka Giuspen).
As you may notice from the title, Cherrytree is a Treepad alternative, a hierarchical note taking application, and a very good one. It has a lot of advantages comparing to treepad:
1 - It's Open Source and Linux is supported natively
2 - It supports Images, tables and other rich text features
3 - Export to html
4 - Import from treepad and other alike
5 - Syntax highlighting
6 - Save all stuff in a single file
The project is supported by various translators (including me in Portuguese, not completed yet), and others are welcome.
The application runs real fast, can be docked to notification area, and it opens the last saved file. Recently it also allows multiple instances.
Giuspen, has a lot of ideas for making Cherrytree even better. If I could code as good as he, sure I'll give him a boost in Cherrytree, the program I use everyday for taking personal notes, and for work.
Finally one last taught about cherrytree.... What if Debian or Ubuntu packed it in repositories? I believe it would be great for most users that are not aware of this wonderful piece of software.

I also found this little program to be very good. I have a file around 800k in size with all my bits and pieces in it. The program is a bit slow when searching, say in comparison to Notecase, but is made up for with all the little features, like extensive import possibilities, formatting, ToC generation, markup of text and so on.ReplyDelete
+1 for wishing it was in the Deb/Ubuntu repos!!
Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the post. It was very interesting and meaningful.ReplyDelete

This is a great program. I recommend you trying it. I have tried others... BasKet for example, and while they are fine, cherrytree is quicker and has a more logical structure and work-flow. Those things that are missing from the functionality seem to be on the 'todo' list for the future. Also, saving your db to dropbox allows the use of cherrytree in a synced fashion across different machines. This is something I have found problematic with BasKet - though your mileage may vary on this....ReplyDelete

From Conservapedia
Ultramontanism is a term in Church history referring to the dominance of the Pope in the Catholic Church. It is opposed to Gallicanism, whereby the Catholic bishops inside a country, such as France, have considerable independence.
The issue continues to arise in the question of whether the Pope or the government can appoint the bishops in a country, such as China.

Full dams are good :D As long as they don't burst. My state desperately needs to invest in rainwater tanks for every house, too many people coveting English or tropical gardens use to much water.
Hurray for mud pies! Mud is good fun :)

Back in March, Patrick J. Buchanan wrote a piece titled, "Free Trade's Disemboweling of America," where he discusses what has happened to the United States since Y2K. In his article he discusses George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and how all three were globalists and all three rejected any federal measure to protect America's industrial base, economic independence or the wages of U.S. workers. They rammed through NAFTA, brought America under the World Trade Organization, abolished tariffs and granted Chinese-made goods unrestricted access.
Once upon a time everything we used was invented, manufactured and sold in America by Americans. The raw materials came out of our mines and off of our farms and we had a labor force capable of doing things that were nearly impossible. We proved that during World War II, when we converted our manufacturing companies into building for the war effort, and did it in a very short period of time. However, since the passage of NAFTA we have lost one out of three of our manufacturing jobs – nearly six million of them. Our federal government now employs more workers than our entire manufacturing sector. Pat Buchanan writes: Republicans seem certain to benefit from the nation's economic crisis this November, but is there any evidence they have learned anything about economics from the disastrous Bush years? Do they have any ideas for a wholesale restructuring of U.S. trade and tax policy, for a course correction to prevent America's continuing decline?"
It is my opinion that America's decline has been orchestrated for nearly one hundred years. In 1924, Joseph Stalin said: "The amalgamation and collaboration of nations within a SINGLE WORLD SYSTEM of economy, constitutes the material basis for the victory of socialism." For decades the world's elite have pursued world government, which can never be realized as long as America is a strong, free nation. The United States must fall into third world status before a one world economy may be developed. In June, 1931, Arnold Toynbee wrote: "We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world."
In 1939, H. G. Wells authored "THE NEW WORLD ORDER," explaining the coming synthesis of western capitalism and eastern communism into a world socialist government. In 1966, Professor Carroll Quigley wrote "TRAGEDY AND HOPE," where he stated that William C. Whitney and others of wealth, in the late 19th century, developed a plan whereby they would control both major political parties through financial contributions and then have those parties alternate power so the public would think it had a choice. The two parties should be almost identical, so the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.
To again quote Pat Buchanan: "Republicans seem certain to benefit from the nation's economic crisis this November, but is there any evidence they have learned about economics from the disastrous Bush years?" No—I don't think so. Yes— I think WE THE PEOPLE will throw the rascals out, but I also believe we will replace them with more rascals, handpicked by the world's political and financial elite. It is my hope and prayer that honest, law abiding, intelligent, moral individuals will be willing to give up their normal life and donate their time and efforts as elected officials of Congress and uphold their oath of office to PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

I am back after a month of inactivity, with the Daring Baker challenge for the month of March! The 2010 March Daring Baker's challenge was hosted by Jennifer of Chocolate Shavings. She chose Orange Tian as the challenge for this month, a dessert based on a recipe from Alain Ducasse's Cooking School in Paris.
I decided to do the challenge split between 3-4 days.. I started with the orange marmalade and made it with pectin as mentioned in the recipe. The recipe was perfect and I finished up the prep without any problems. On the second day I was planning to do the Pate Sablee, I made the dough, but was too tired to do the baking. So it went in the fridge overnight. On the third day, I put the dough (which had hardened) in the microwave for 30s which left the dough just right for rolling out. I used the 5" tart/pie pan to cut out the dough (since I was planning to assemble the dessert in that), baked the dough at 325F for about 18 min, to get the golden brown dough circle. The circle was stored at room temperature till the next day. On the fourth day, I cut the orange segments, made the orange-caramel syrup and poured it over the orange segments. I also made the stabilized whipped cream with gelatin and folded in the marmalade.
Since we were impatient by then, I decided to go ahead with the assembly. I strained the segments, and finished the assembly according to instructions. About 10 minutes in the freezer made the dessert ready to be served!
We all liked the Orange Tian! It looked so fresh, vibrant and beautiful. The assembly was a breeze with no glitches. The dessert had so many different elements and textures which came together very well. The marmalade was amazing, as was the marmalade-whipped cream. The orange segments were a bit sour for my taste (because I didn't put the segments in the orange-caramel overnight, but just for 30 minutes). But the thickened caramel syrup compensated for that amazingly well!
I would say my favorite part was the thickened orange-caramel syrup which I drizzled on the wedge of tian. It would also make an amazing icecream topping. The second favorite part was the whipped cream with marmalade folded in... It would make a great filling for pastries or mini-tartlettes as well.
For the Pate Sablee:
Ingredients U.S. Imperial Metric Instructions for Ingredients
2 medium-sized egg yolks at room temperature
granulated sugar 6 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon; 2.8 oz; 80 grams
vanilla extract ½ teaspoon
Unsalted butter ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons; 3.5 oz; 100 grams ice cold, cubed
Salt 1/3 teaspoon; 2 grams
All-purpose flour 1.5 cup + 2 tablespoons; 7 oz; 200 grams
baking powder 1 teaspoon ; 4 grams
Put the flour, baking powder, ice cold cubed butter and salt in a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
In a separate bowl, add the eggs yolks, vanilla extract and sugar and beat with a whisk until the mixture is pale. Pour the egg mixture in the food processor.
Process until the dough just comes together. If you find that the dough is still a little too crumbly to come together, add a couple drops of water and process again to form a homogenous ball of dough. Form into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface until you obtain a ¼ inch thick circle.
Using your cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough and place on a parchment (or silicone) lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the circles of dough are just golden.
For the Marmalade:
Ingredients U.S. Imperial Metric Instructions for Ingredients
Freshly pressed orange juice ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons; 3.5 oz; 100 grams
1 large orange used to make orange slices
cold water to cook the orange slices
pectin 5 grams
granulated sugar: use the same weight as the weight of orange slices once they are cooked
Finely slice the orange. Place the orange slices in a medium-sized pot filled with cold water. Simmer for about 10 minutes, discard the water, re-fill with cold water and blanch the oranges for another 10 minutes.
Blanch the orange slices 3 times. This process removes the bitterness from the orange peel, so it is essential to use a new batch of cold water every time when you blanch the slices.
Once blanched 3 times, drain the slices and let them cool.
Once they are cool enough to handle, finely mince them (using a knife or a food processor).
Weigh the slices and use the same amount of granulated sugar . If you don't have a scale, you can place the slices in a cup measurer and use the same amount of sugar.
In a pot over medium heat, add the minced orange slices, the sugar you just weighed, the orange juice and the pectin. Cook until the mixture reaches a jam consistency (10-15 minutes).
Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge.
For the Orange Segments:
For this step you will need 8 oranges.
Cut the oranges into segments over a shallow bowl and make sure to keep the juice. Add the segments to the bowl with the juice.
For the Caramel:
Ingredients U.S. Metric Imperial Instructions for Ingredients
granulated sugar 1 cup; 7 oz; 200 grams
orange juice 1.5 cups + 2 tablespoons; 14 oz; 400 grams
Place the sugar in a pan on medium heat and begin heating it.
Once the sugar starts to bubble and foam, slowly add the orange juice. As soon as the mixture starts boiling, remove from the heat and pour half of the mixture over the orange segments.
Reserve the other half of the caramel mixture in a small bowl — you will use this later to spoon over the finished dessert. When the dessert is assembled and setting in the freezer, heat the kept caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until it thickens and just coats the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes). You can then spoon it over the orange tians.
[Tip: Be very careful when making the caramel — if you have never made caramel before, I would suggest making this step while you don't have to worry about anything else. Bubbling sugar is extremely, extremely hot, so make sure you have a bowl of ice cold water in the kitchen in case anyone gets burnt!]
For the Whipped Cream:
Ingredients U.S. Metric Imperial Instructions for Ingredients
heavy whipping cream 1 cup; 7 oz; 200 grams
3 tablespoons of hot water
1 tsp Gelatine
1 tablespoon of confectioner's sugar
orange marmalade (see recipe above) 1 tablespoon
In a small bowl, add the gelatine and hot water, stirring well until the gelatine dissolves. Let the gelatine cool to room temperature while you make the whipped cream. Combine the cream in a chilled mixing bowl. Whip the cream using a hand mixer on low speed until the cream starts to thicken for about one minute. Add the confectioner sugar. Increase the speed to medium-high. Whip the cream until the beaters leave visible (but not lasting) trails in the cream, then add the cooled gelatine slowly while beating continuously. Continue whipping until the cream is light and fluffy and forms soft peaks. Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl and fold in the orange marmalade.
[Tip: Use an ice cold bowl to make the whipped cream in. You can do this by putting your mixing bowl, cream and beater in the fridge for 20 minutes prior to whipping the cream.]
Assembling the Dessert:
Make sure you have some room in your freezer. Ideally, you should be able to fit a small baking sheet or tray of desserts to set in the freezer.
Line a small tray or baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet. Lay out 6 cookie cutters onto the parchment paper/silicone.
Drain the orange segments on a kitchen towel.
Have the marmalade, whipped cream and baked circles of dough ready to use.
Arrange the orange segments at the bottom of each cookie cutter. Make sure the segments all touch either and that there are no gaps. Make sure they fit snuggly and look pretty as they will end up being the top of the dessert. Arrange them as you would sliced apples when making an apple tart.
Once you have neatly arranged one layer of orange segments at the bottom of each cookie cutter, add a couple spoonfuls of whipped cream and gently spread it so that it fills the cookie cutter in an even layer. Leave about 1/4 inch at the top so there is room for dough circle.
Using a butter knife or small spoon, spread a small even layer of orange marmalade on each circle of dough.
Carefully place a circle of dough over each ring (the side of dough covered in marmalade should be the side touching the whipping cream). Gently press on the circle of dough to make sure the dessert is compact.
Place the desserts to set in the freezer to set for 10 minutes.
Using a small knife, gently go around the edges of the cookie cutter to make sure the dessert will be easy to unmold. Gently place your serving plate on top of a dessert (on top of the circle of dough) and turn the plate over. Gently remove the cookie cutter, add a spoonful of caramel sauce and serve immediately.

Manchester City has appointed Manuel Pellegrini as their new manager, replacing Roberto Mancini after the team missed out on silverware last season.
The Chilean has promised to bring attractive football to the Etihad and start a new cycle. But can he bring important titles to City in a short period of time?
Bringing home the Premier League title after 44 years in the 2011/12 season, failing to win a silverware last season cost Mancini the job.
One of the biggest reasons is the poor result in the recent editions of the Champions League. City have only acclaimed three wins in the last 12 games in Europe's premier competition, and were knocked out of the competition in group stage two years running.
This is definitely unacceptable for a team with such huge investment going in to the squad. Pellegrini's most important task will be winning the Europe's elite competition.
The Chilean is a suitable candidate for City in this aspect. He has a achieved good results in Europe – guiding middle-sized clubs Villareal and Malaga to semi and quarter-finals respectively. With City's luxurious squad in hand, he is expected to challenge for the trophy.
The implementation of his philosophy is one important factor that would decide the successfulness of his spell. He had a miserable 2009/10 campaign in Real Madrid because the club hierarchy ignored his ideas, as he told El Mercurio in an interview. Some of his players whom he regarded as important were sold.
Pellegrini's attractive football style and tactical system need to be supported in City if they are to win something big.

London, United K...
My husband has a history of dreaming up fantasy jackets for me to sew, and this one is based heavily on Betabrand's version
It uses wool corduroy we bought in Paris, which he stipulated should have the wales running horizontally, and the other side uses BetBrand's Disconium fabric, which he bought off their site. It's completely reversible and to his specifications, right down to the buttons and an innovative headphone cord holder!

Is it normal not to have periods (menstruate) when breastfeeding?
Human beings have known for centuries that breastfeeding affects fertility, and this has been borne out in recent studies. The individual variations are, however, great. In general, the more often a baby is breastfed, the younger the baby is, and the less nutrition he gets from other sources, the later the mother's periods will resume. Most breastfeeding mothers will resume their periods between 6 months and 2 years after their baby's birth. Weaning will almost certainly cause a resumption of the menstrual cycle.
A woman who wants to use this knowledge for purposes of regulating her fertility should inform herself about the "Lactational Amenorrhea Method." To help you learn more, LLLI's Online Store features the books Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing by Sheila Kippley and Your Fertility Signals by Merryl Winstein (also available in Spanish).
More information on this topic may be found at our resource page for Breastfeeding and Fertility.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
James Franco stars in this prequel to the original classic that takes us back to a simpler time, when Man ruled the Earth. Sadly, this era appears doomed. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" opens Aug. 5.

Cities will become the habitat of the most population in this century. Internet has appeared in the cities mainly through their citizens. The amount of information and communications that happens through Internet in every city is outstanding. But these data are not open and accessible.
An open, ubiquitous and intelligent Internet can facilitate all this information collection, processing and valorization, transforming it in add-value knowledge mostly for the benefit of the citizens.
Intelligent cities will be based in a set of new technologies like open big data, software defined networks, crowdsourcing, augmented reality or wireless sensors networks, organized finally around a city operating system. We understand the city as a software defined territory based in user-controlled and reconfigurable networks, based in the collective intelligence of their citizens.
i2cat is working with the following use cases and applications:
1) Community
Design of new business models and ecosystems where value can be created both for the citizen that participates in the creation of data about the city, and for the private or public entities who will exploit this data in order to deliver novel services and applications
2) Public Services
Novel technologies to increase the efficiency of the waste management based on low power and low cost sensors that can measure and report the occupancy level of a waste dumpster.
3) Transport and Mobility
Design of lightweight mechanisms to estimate the flow of traffic in a given area of a city, which can then be used to steer traffic in an optimal way, and low cost mechanisms to estimate the availability of parking spaces in areas of high congestion.
4) CityOS
Architecture definition of a City Operative System able to aggregate open data coming from the sensors and citizens, and by means of Big Data and prediction techniques, capable to extract actionable knowledge from the generated data to enhance its public services or to provide value added services.

Manu Tuilagi has recovered from injury and gets his chance to impress British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland against the Melbourne Rebels today (Tuesday).
The Leicester Tigers centre appeared to be a doubt for the rest of the tour after coming off against the Queensland Reds, but just over two weeks later he starts in the seventh and final 'warm-up' game.
"If I'd gone home it would've been the most disappointing thing. The Lions doesn't come around very often, and you've got to take your chances. Thank God, the shoulder healed up pretty quick," he told reporters.
"The physios and the coaches gave me seven days to make the tests to see if my shoulder had any improvement in power. Luckily, after a couple of days, it came back 20-25%, which was an improvement, and then they just gave me another week. It feels a lot better now."
Tuilagi, who impressed against the Western Force before his injury, is looking to dislodge either Jonathan Davies or Brian O'Driscoll from the team that won the first test 23-21 against Australia on Saturday.
And, if the 22-year-old England star impresses, he could give Gatland a selection headache going into game two.
Geoff Parling has been pulled out of the Lions' squad to face the Rebels following Paul O'Connell's arm break, with Dan Lydiate leading the side in the lock's place.
Rob Kearney, Owen Farrell and Toby Faletau are also in the Lions' starting XV, and all will be looking to make a case for a place in the squad to face the Wallabies in game two.
One man who will be eagerly watching is Christian Wade, after the Wasps speedster made his debut against the Brumbies a week ago.
The youngster wished his new teammates luck, and admits the game is a big one as preparations continue for the final test matches.
He wrote on Facebook: "Good luck to boys playing in our final midweek game tonight!! Big game for us!!"
