Our Comprehensive Wellness Exams are performed on a semi-annual schedule to help your pet to live a longer, healthier life. Because dogs and cats age much more quickly than humans, exams are recommended every 6 months (equivalent to humans' 1-2 years).
Animals don't always "tell" their owners that they hurt or where they hurt, so we believe that it is Very Important to perform a Comprehensive Physical Exam every time a patient is seen for either a Wellness or Sick Visit. Our Doctors often get more clues about a pet's health challenges from a Complete Exam than from just examining the most evident problem.
Because we believe in treating the whole pet, not just its parts,
The following examinations are performed with EVERY Wellness and Sick Pet Visit at Cimarron Animal Hospital:
Eye Exam And Screenings
An eye exam, using an Ophthalmascope, is performed to evaluate both external and internal structures of the eye. Our Doctors can detect signs of not just eye disease, but also high blood pressure, Valley Fever, other infectious disease, and anemia. If indicated, pets can be screened for Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or "dry eye", and Glaucoma.
Ear Examination
A deep ear exam is performed, using an Otoscope, to examine the entire ear canal and the ear drum for signs of infection, polyps, ear mites or other foreign bodies, and middle ear disease.
Dental Examination
Your pet's Doctor examines not only your pet's teeth, but also her gums, tongue, and tonsils assessing the presence of dental plaque and tartar, loose or fractured teeth, tumors, infection, dental abnormalities and periodontal disease. Poor dental health can cause pain, weight loss, liver, kidney and heart disease. Keeping your pet's mouth healthy is one of the Most Important Things You Can Do To Add Years to Your Pet's Life!
Cardiac And Respiratory Exam
Your Doctor will listen to your pet's heart and lungs, listening for heart murmurs and abnormal rhythms, fluid in the lungs or abnormal breath sounds that can signal serious disease. If anything in the physical exam suggests trouble, your Doctor may recommend a Cardiac workup including chest x-rays, blood pressure or EKG.
Reproductive Organs
Your pet's reproductive system will be examined for lumps, swelling, and discharge. It is in your pet's best interest to be spayed or neutered to reduce the risks of breast and testicular cancer, life-threatening infections, birthing complications, unwanted litters, and accidents and mishaps due to roaming.
Skin And Coat Analysis
A thorough examination of your pet's coat and skin will give your Doctor a good indication of your pet's overall health. She will check for warts and tumors, as well as signs of allergies, nutritional deficiencies, infections, fleas, ticks, and other parasites.
Musculoskeletal Exam
Your Veterinarian will manipulate your pet's joints and evaluate his muscles for proper function and degree of pain. Your Vet may be able to identify joint disease that your pet hasn't even "told" you about.
Neurologic Exam
A brief Neurological evaluation is done in the process of every physical exam. As your pet's face is examined, cranial nerves are evaluated. As your pet's joints are evaluated, so are his postural reflexes and peripheral nerve tone. Your pet's proprioceptive reflexes are evaluated as the Doctor watches your pet move around the room.
Lymphatic Exam
Finally, your pet's lymph nodes are examined for enlargement that might indicate infection or cancer.

Investors are like basketball players in one sense. They'll scramble after a good company whose sales are hitting the floor because they expect they will rebound.
So when Home Depot announced second-quarter earnings Tuesday that beat analysts' expectations, its share price went up.
But what if Wall Street's expectations game doesn't apply to housing? What if, instead of a basketball, investors in the housing sector are playing with, say, a ripe cantaloupe?
The US housing slump has gone on for so long and let so much air out of housing-related industries that the bounce, when it comes, could be very messy – and only slightly up.
Consider your own home. Sure, there are lots of improvements you could make. But in an era where housing appreciation is no longer automatic, those improvements start to look more expensive and, probably, less necessary.
That translates to fewer trips to Home Depot or Lowe's, whose stock plunged 10 percent Monday after it reported its second-quarter profits fell 19 percent.
The challenge was summed up neatly by a commenter about Market Watch's story on Home Depot (HD): "The problem for HD is the 'upgrading' part of the market, built around constantly rising home values, will not come back. We are looking in the years ahead for people to 'fix what is broken.' "
In Wall Street's eyes, Home Depot is doing better than Lowe's because its profits dropped only 7.2 percent, with aggressive cost-cutting helping to cushion a 9 percent drop in sales. In its earnings report, it raised its expectations for earnings per share for the fiscal year, saying they'd be flat to up 7 percent, despite an expected 9 percent decline in overall sales.
Ultimately, though, sales have to grow for the housing market to recover robustly.
The problem of falling sales extends far beyond public companies like Home Depot and Lowe's. Smaller, privately owned firms in housing-related industries have also been hit.
Between September 2007 and September 2008, 10 of the 12 industries with the biggest declines in sales were housing related, encompassing everything from furniture stores to real estate agents, according to Sageworks, which collects and analyzes private-company data from accounting firms.
In the latest July to July cycle, sales for each of those 10 industries had fallen even more. Real estate agents and brokers topped the list with a 13 percent drop, followed by plywood, veneer, and other engineered wood manufacturers, down 12 percent.
"A lot of these industries are leading indicators of the housing industry," says Dan Saklad, chief operating officer for Sageworks in Raleigh, N.C. So far, they're not pointing up, he adds.

A Biblical Response to Current Events – 2-10-18
What's Happening: "John Lennon's "Imagine" had a Korean twist as four members of Korean rock bands rendered the 'globalism idealists' theme song' at the 2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. South Korea and the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea – North) marched in together under a white flag with a light blue united Korean peninsula (North and South) on it; viewed by the U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Kim Yo Jong, the sister of the North Korean leader – the VP remained seated a row ahead with his guest: the father of tortured and killed Otto Warmbier. The idealistic was tempered by the realistic (https://www.elitedaily.com/p/who-sang-imagine-at-the-2018-olympic-opening-ceremony-korean-singers-performed-the-rendition-8173367). 'Dear athletes, now, it's your turn!' Bach, the IOC Chairman said."
Knee-Jerk Response: "Maybe there will now be peace between North and South."
Biblical Response: "Yeah…and maybe Santa Claus is real, too. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for forgiveness and mercy…but not for unrepentant violence accompanied by denials and delay. Meanwhile, the DPRK's progress toward making their threats real continues. South Korea's leader Moon seems lulled by the tune the charmer is playing, but there is a reason the Colt Company called the .45 revolver (that tamed the 'Wild West') the 'Peacemaker.'"
"Christians? We're all for peace…but the absence of conflict is not peace. The presence of God is. We are not supposed to call those things that are as though they weren't, but "those things that aren't as though they were" (Rom. 4:17). Denying reality is a sure path to the unimaginable. Sticking your head in the sand doesn't change what's happening above."
Here's a Prayer You Can Pray: "Heavenly Father, while we want to pursue a path of non-aggression, let us not trust the nature of fallen Man; in Jesus' Name, amen." © Alan E.Sargent

So many fascinating people call the Caribbean their home. Whether you're born and raised there or packed a suitcase, bought a ticket and took a leap of faith, island living is a unique proposition and certainly no cakewalk. In the second installment of our "Island Personalities" series, we meet Virgin Gorda's Chrissann Nickel (aka Toucan Lady BVI).
Chrissann is a San Fran transplant that moved to the islands and hasn't looked back since. She is also the founder of the popular blog "Women Who Live On Rocks" and BFF's with 3 toucans! From selfie's with her feathered friends to chaturanga's overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Chrissann is living the dream. But "it's not all sunshine and umbrella drinks" she'll tell you, so we caught up with the Toucan Lady to get some insider travel tips and insight to the ebb and flow of island livin':
1. Tell us about yourself, are you originally from the islands?
I am originally from the SF Bay area in California. I used to work in sales for Marriott hotels. In 2006, a co-worker was relocating to St. Thomas, and I was up for an adventure, so I decided to move too (even though I'd never even heard of St. Thomas!). Once I was here, I really took to island life and haven't had a desire to move away since.
2. What differentiates the British Virgin Islands from other islands?
I moved over to the BVI from the neighboring USVI about 7 years ago. I had met my boyfriend, who operates a resort in the BVI, so I made the decision to move over to be with him, and I'm so glad I did. The British Virgin Islands are such an amazing destination in that there are so many islands and cays within a short distance of one another in relatively calm, protected waters – this territory is all about the boating. Living on Virgin Gorda, I am not stuck on just one island, but can boat around to the various BVIs – stopping at one for a snorkel, another for lunch, and another for happy hour. I love boating and cannot imagine living on another island where that wasn't an option. Beyond that, the BVIs have a relatively small population, which makes it so much more calm and quaint to live here in comparison to the USVI nearby.
3. You are the coolest person we know because you have toucans as pets! Was the pet store out of puppies and kittens?
Wow, what an honor! Haha, it does seem like quite a random pet choice, doesn't it? Our three Toco toucans (aka "The Three-Cans") were here in the territory at a tourist attraction and were not being cared for properly and thus, in need of a new home. We adopted them and have worked to provide them with a better life these past 4 years. They have very specific, demanding care requirements, are extremely intelligent, and need a ton of space – a lot of things I knew little about before we adopted them, as there isn't much information out there on the subject to be found. Now, a big part of my lifestyle is being a part-time zookeeper!
4. They're so beautiful that we would probably just have selfie marathon's with them daily. Do you ever get used to having them?
They are so photogenic and incredibly brilliant birds. I'll admit, I have about 20,000+ photos of them on my devices! But yes, they are a huge responsibility and the reality of caring for them day in and day out is pretty heavy. I really don't recommend them as pets for many reasons, and in an effort to better educate people who may be considering bringing one into their lives as a result of my photos/videos, I have a website, Adventures in Toucanland, that gives more of a complete picture of the full scope of toucan ownership – not just colorful IG snaps.
5. You have a year-round tan, 2 popular blogs, practise yoga with the most breathtaking views and hang out with toucans everyday…does it get any better?
I appreciate that, so kind of you to say. Yes, life is good! Some of it's luck, but a lot of it's by active design. I see no point in living a life that bores me and have refused to stay stuck in anything that hasn't fulfilled me. My future plans are always based on upgrading my life with more happy things that inspire and energize my soul. And then I'll continue to Instagram it! 😉
6. We love the concept of your website "Women who live on rocks". You're bringing awareness to the hilarity of island life from the unique perspective of women. What inspired you to create it?
Thank you! The idea for Women Who Live on Rocks had been percolating for many years before I actually brought it to fruition. Island life is ripe with comedic fodder, and I knew I wanted to write about it, it just took me awhile to formulate a plan as to how. Over the years, I have met so many interesting women in the islands, so I decided to format it as more of a collaborative project, so that it could hopefully come closer to covering the full arc of the island woman's experience – not just my own. Over these past couple of years, I've been so grateful to watch the community grow. It's such a gift to make people laugh and to be able to connect with women (and men too) living on tropical islands all over the world.
7. What are the most common misconceptions about island life?
I think the biggest misconception is that in moving to an island, you're guaranteed some easy, breezy, "chill mon" lifestyle where there's no stress and ample amounts of beach time. In reality, most islands are quite expensive to live on, and it takes a lot of hard work and creativity to not only survive, but to thrive. In fact, due to the remote nature and culture of many islands, trying to accomplish things can often be way more frustrating than it is back in "the real world". Patience and tempering your expectations will get you far.
8. What is your favourite part of island life?
I love the small town vibe and sense of community. I love running into people I know everywhere I go and not just being an anonymous face in the crowd. The forever-summer thing is pretty awesome too – I don't function well when I'm cold. Yoga is also a big part of my daily life. I love practicing in this gorgeous setting I live in, listening to the birds tweet and breeze blow without any obnoxious city noise – it's almost magically zen. I am working on attaining the correct permits with the goal of being able to instruct and share yoga with those living on and visiting our island. Hopefully soon!
9. When you're living in paradise, what motivates you?
I'm naturally a pretty motivated person, though it can be distracting sometimes to live on an island where everyone around you is on vacation, and it's never too early for happy hour. When I moved to the BVI, due to visa requirements, I was not allowed to seek traditional employment, so it forced me out of my career path. I was a bit lost at first, but it truly was the gift of time I needed to reflect and figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. Now that I'm shaping my self-made career around my passions – writing, yoga, and animal training – it's easy to stay motivated. So many happy goals, so little time – and with an incredible view to boot!
10. You live where most people vacation. Do you ever take a vacation?
Absolutely! I may be living on a tropical island, but it's still life, full of responsibilities and schedules – you know, the kind of stuff you want a vacation from. Living on an island can certainly be limiting in many ways due to its small size and remote location, so when I go on vacation, I want to do things that aren't available to me year round. Things like concerts, theaters, interesting cities, diverse cuisine, and nightlife are always appealing. Unless I'm island hopping for a weekend getaway around me (which is also fun), lying on a beach is not a priority anymore on vacation.
11. Do you have any advice for people looking to make the move? What should they consider before buying that ticket?
Set yourself up for success ahead of time – leap, but leap with a bit of a plan so you don't crash and burn. Get a job on the island of your choosing that will assist with your relocation, and/or save up some money to assist you in the transition. Island life is expensive and not for everyone. It's not all sunshine and umbrella drinks – many people who move down don't make it a year. Once you move down, keep an open mind and just try to appreciate things as they are, rather than trying to fit it into a picture of how you used to live.
12. We visited the BVI's almost exactly a year ago but didn't have as much time as we would have liked. From the local perspective, name 5 things that we shouldn't miss next time?
- A full day of boating around the territory without a definitive plan, stopping to snorkel at wherever spot of blue catches your eye and hopping off the boat at whatever beach bar intrigues you.
- A stay at Saba Rock resort, taking a sunrise SUP(stand up paddle board) tour of the North Sound one morning.
- Playtime at Cooper Island, enjoying drinks with friends around their in-the-sea cocktail tables
- A spa day at Little Dix Bay resort – having champagne delivered to you at their serene infinity pool between treatments.
- A helicopter tour over Anegada, taking in the reef and looking for old shipwrecks from above.

About The Benefits To Train For A Half Marathon - part 2
Welcome back to the PGD International blog.
On Friday I got my confirmation mail, that I am registered as a participant of the 32. Berlin Half Marathon. Now it becomes serious! I clicked the link leading to the Half Marathon website; there is a clock ticking backwards: only four more weeks left for training. Then I clicked through to the section with training tips and medical advice, which unfortunately is only in German, and browsed through it. Again it became clear to me how different the approaches to running training can be. The Half Marathon is organized by the Sporting Club of Charlottenburg (SCC) (Charlottenburg is one of the many districts of Berlin. It was united with Wilmersdorf, the district in wichich Martin Luther Hospital is located). Therefore it has to give scientific advices.
I, on the other hand, can only talk about my own experiences which clearly cannot be transferred to anybody. It is up to each individual to find ones own training rhythm. The scientific advise is easy: run three, better four times a week for at least 40 minutes each. One of those runs should be a long run. This is the advice if you want to train for the full marathon. But what are you going to do, if you only want to train for half of the distance? Well, I would say: just go for it and find out what you can achieve. If you want to start running, you should just go running and walk slowly when you cannot run anymore. Go at least for 20 minutes, better 30 and do not feel bad about people seeing you stop running and walk swiftly instead. The next day you surely feel what you did, if not, than you have to put more effort in it the next time. Unfortunately sport is always something you feel afterward in your body when you are untrained or try to push your boundaries even further. In general this is not bad as long as you are healthy. But!!! Do not overdo it! Do not get yourself hurt! Your body will tell you when enough is enough - so better listen to it. With a bit of experience you will find out the difference between finding an excuse not to train as hard as you should and to much workout. When I started running a couple of years ago I just went out running and found out how far I could go while I was running. I can clearly remember how hard it was to cross a meadow after four kilometers 15 years ago and how easy it is for me today to cross it even after eight kilometers.
After a while I had developed a routine in running which became quite annoying with the years. Eventually I was running in circles in a park. The park is nice but the circles became boring. Because of that I only ran about eight kilometers and was not able to run any longer because something deep inside me did not want to run the same circle for a third time. As I already told you this was one of the reasons that made me decide to try to run the half marathon. To do so I had changed my training course and I gladly did. I know a very nice route leading along a canal through a street lined with plane trees into a park with an adjoining forest – and that in the middle of the city! I also knew that reaching a certain point - a bridge - and circling under it, would be a run of around eleven kilometers. That, I considered to be the ideal starting point to elevate myself behind the ten kilometer barrier. And yes, it took me some effort and strain to get beyond it. But, alas, now I never run less than twelve kilometers, better around 14, even when I only run once a week. Yes I know, this does not sound good. You should run at least twice a week, but it works, if you run for fun and not to train for a competition.
After I finished last weeks blog I headed for the circuit again and it was great. Sure, at first you always ask yourself why and when you ever had this stupid idea, but after a while it goes. Of course running means constantly to overcome the urge to quit, to take a shortcut or walk home. But when you finally did it, you can be very proud of yourself. So last week I actually decided to run a little bit longer and finally run 15 kilometers. How I did this and overcame the urge to cut it short I will tell you in my next blog. Just one last thought. When I went running on Monday I smelled bear's garlic in the forest but could not see it. When I went running on Thursday I saw the tips of the plant coming out all over the place. I brought you a photo. Bear's or wood garlic belongs to the family of garlic plants and it makes a very tasty soup out of it. And it means that spring will arrive soon.
So, check for the next part of this blog at the end of this week and register with the PGD International challenge of running 21 kilometers wherever you are and whenever you feel ready to do it.
And as the Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel wrote last Friday: the running season has started!

Client Testimonials
Sam Dussat - Finance and Insurance Manager
Poole Audi
Poole Audi introduced Ceramic Coat into its portfolio of added value products two years ago.
Paint Protection had always been a key part of the services Poole Audi offered its clients. However, customers could be reticent; trust issues and/or poor brand awareness were often barriers to sale.
When we were introduced to Ceramic Coat we could clearly foresee the benefits of providing a product with high levels of brand awareness and credibility. Plus AutoProtect's product training and implementation and ongoing support programme were an added benefit for us and promised increased sales.
Since 2013 penetration levels have increased by an additional 15% on paint protection and we have customers who have already experienced the benefits of Ceramic Coat, requesting its application on their new purchases.
Rob May - Business Manager
Doble Motorcycles
With its MOTO GP associations, it goes without saying that this is a quality product offering superior customer benefits.
We have sold kits to customers on a variety of bikes from Gold wings to scooters, fair weather bikers to all season diehards.
The greatest appeal however, without a doubt, is from owners of bikes with specialist paint schemes (like Repsol and HRC), and in particular those with painted wheels. Our customers are happy with the results and our business thrives on happy customers.
Jeff White - Managing Director
Jeff White Motors
From the first meeting to discuss the development of the " Jeff White Approved Warranty" to launch, I cannot say enough good things about AutoProtect.
I found AutoProtect was refreshingly candid about the process of establishing a personalised warranty programme . AutoProtect's offering was cost effective, flexible and tailored to meet our customer's needs and has transformed what was a cost to our business and turned it into a profit centre. They have designed a fully managed solution, handling the claims process, administration support, monthly account management and transparent reporting and analysis.
We desired full control over component coverage and in the event of a claim rejection the ability to review the decision to maintain customer satisfaction. They have delivered their promise!
Phil Evans - Aftersales and Technical Director
International Motors Group
At International Motors our partnerships are a vital element of our success and one of our key providers for several years has been AutoProtect.
When in the process of looking for a bespoke warranty supplier we needed an organisation who were flexible, innovative and could adapt to fit with our business and brands ethos, AutoProtect met these requirements.
They are experts in their field of product development and underwriting, their product offerings are extremely versatile and they are not afraid to suggest new approaches in a constantly changing market place.
AutoProtect have a very robust and established underwriting platform which enables focus on the balance between risk and the customer offer and allows us to react to changing market conditions.
We are delighted with their enthusiasm, professionalism and the high level of service they have demonstrated over the years.
Graham Large - General Sales Manager
Burton Kia
As an independent dealer, the role of a good 'partner' supplier is much more important than in a Group situation. We need the knowledge that a good supplier has to increase sales.
AutoProtect have more than risen to this challenge. They have brought ideas and product innovations to us and helped us to develop promotional approaches that have really worked.
Today, they are our only insurance product supplier, which I think is a statement of our confidence in them.
David Butler - Group Finance and Insurance Manager
Westover Group
Westover Group, Jaguar and Land Rover centres have been working with AutoProtect and FGA over the last few months, following a meeting where they presented the JLR Combined GAP and RTI product.
The product benefits to the JLR customers are, in my view, industry leading and we have realised a significant sales increase on this product line.
Fundamentally we have confidence in the AutoProtect product.
The sales training and ongoing development/support by AutoProtect has been very professional.
Nigel Daniel - Insurance Manager
FGA Capital Ltd
The introduction of the ABI's Good Practice Guides for GAP Insurance has presented the opportunity to review our insurance offering. In doing so, we have appointed an AutoProtect, with whom we already have experience, having worked with them to develop and market our SMART insurance programme; which is proving very successful for dealers. AutoProtect has many years of experience in the GAP area of business, with a number of major dealer groups included in their portfolio. Their approach to embracing regulation and best practice in a manner that is both customer and dealer centric impressed us and we are looking forward to a long term relationship with them.
Gavin Cleverly - Director
Mon Motors Group
For years GAP has been seen as a pretty much universal product and all power to AutoProtect for creating something that bit better. It is the sort of imaginative approach we need to keep things fresh, especially since it is an innovation that protects our bottom line.
Edward Ellis - Head of F&I and Compliance
Sinclair Group
Our partnership is now entering its fourth year and this reflects how we have grown together through a combination of developing performance and product offering. Detailed analysis every month with the Management team has ensured penetration and profit balance has increased plus expert Compliance support as we all navigate through an ever evolving Regulatory industry.
A key partner of the Sinclair Group.
Sandy Risk - General Manager Business Development
Eastern Western Motor Group
AutoProtect have supplied our used vehicle warranty, principally covering The Car Deal Warehouse part of the Eastern Western Motor Group business for the past 5 years. This length of time clearly indicates how satisfied we are with their service levels and management of our business. We have found them to be extremely proactive, innovative and helpful throughout this time and we look forward to a continuing and mutually successful relationship.
Keith Brock - Managing Director
Wessex Garages
Wessex garages have enjoyed a very successful relationship with AutoProtect for a number of years now.The personal service and initiatives allow them to stand out from their competitors along with excellent underwriting and management information. This has allowed us both to grow our businesses and would not hesitate in recommending them.
David Norris - General Sales Manager
Watford Jaguar
AutoProtect has had an extremely positive and effective influence on our business.
Working closely with us to drive our business forward, our overall performance on finance, products and profitability has improved dramatically over the past year.
Thanks in no small part to AutoProtect's efforts in developing, delivering and supporting a new sales process.

Auckland's Sixties American
I like on-line purchasing for the convenience. I don't have to leave the house and take care of site visitors, parking and purchasing malls. The choice is greater and and I'm able to find out about brands and products that I wasn't conversant in earlier than hand. A trip to Shunde makes sense if you are buying plenty of furniture, but when all you need is a settee or table, you would possibly as nicely purchase from a store near your home that may provide customized service and problem-free set up. In fact, it isn't as easy to purchase furniture from a far-away country and go through the trouble of coping with shipment and imports, but ultimately it's value it while you examine prices at house. On the whole, a piece of furnishings that value USD $1,000 in China can cost $4,000 to $6,000 in your house country.
The websites and shops featured on this web page supply an identical type of merchandise and will appeal to any ModCloth fan. Don't forget to go away us a comment about your favorite store or share a website that we missed. Artfully drawn, the Nancy Chandler's Map of Bangkok can also be highly helpful because it has nice descriptions of places in addition to off-the-overwhelmed-path sights you wouldn't know about in any other case. The little orange information e-book goes into even more element for classes resembling entertainment venues, eating places, sports and health facilities, purchasing, lodges and transportation.
Fuel Steel Arc Welding is the most common type as it is extremely easy to understand and carry out. Taking coaching in GMAW is straightforward and should you wish to be handy round the home then it's possible you'll need to go for it. As a newbie you have to some inventive and attention-grabbing venture concepts to show-off your newly realized skill. While Shunde is home to 1000's of furniture retailers it does not have a number of resort and restaurant options. There are a number of Western-model inns in Foshan, which is a half hour drive from Shunde. Swissotel, Crown Plaza and Sheraton are in Foshan, however count on a decrease standard of service in these locations.
Based on the reason from the employees, this is called Plutonite lenses, which can face up to a bullet nine meters away. I have a cousin that turns 15 in just a few months. I shall be revisiting this lens to get some good reward concepts.

Market Research
Health Care Industry Research & Analysis: The health care industry depends on the care of health-related services by professionals for the benefit of patients. Medical device markers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical drug developers and government institutions are major participants in the treatment of sick, injured and disabled patients. Health Care Trading Strategy: Health Care stocks tend to be less sensitive to economic changes. Look for undervalued health care investments at any point in the business cycle when stock prices are low. However, biotech, employment staffing and insurance companies may all decrease during recessions for different reasons. Government intervention is another important factor in health care investments, since government spending in health care is a very large portion of overall health care spending. When governments change spending plans, different sub-sectors in the industry are significantly affected. Upward sloping stock charts and financial news may indicate a selling opportunity while the opposite means that stocks are becoming undervalued.
Industry Sub Sector: . St Jude Medical is a dominant industry leader due to its personnel, experience and financial strengths. Industry leaders are difficult to compete against, which decreases business and investor risks.

Are you searching for effective snoring solutions to improve the quality of your life? Snoring is the sound being produced when airway structures vibrates. It could be soft, loud or even irritating. It could be simple or medically needs attention. It could be transient or it could be lifelong, threatening health, performances and even relationships. It can bother you, your rest and sleep, your partner or any family members who sleep with you. It can even cause you unsatisfactory performance level and may lead you to stress and irritability. In some cases, it may also lead you to a thinking of self isolation especially when you are sleeping with friends and relatives whom you do not want to be disturbed when asleep. These are some of the reasons why people with snoring problems seek snoring solutions.
There are simple ways stop snoring. These simple ways could be applied to simple snoring condition that could be self-managed thru self-help process. Very basic in a way that there is no medical attention needed to be sought. At the bottom of it, you should know the cause of the problem and resolve it based on its causative factors. If snoring is not a daily problem, then have a way of noting down self observations on when does snoring occurs, or it could also be done by asking one person to observe you sleeping in a certain period of time. Then, identify the factors that might have caused you to snore. Could it be the long tiring day at work, the alcoholic beverage that you drink, the medication you seldom take, your smoking, the condition and position of your body when you fell asleep and other possible the health problems you are probably dealing with, like any upper respiratory tract infections.
After which you have identified the factors, now identify the applicable ways that would fit your condition. Here are some simple snoring solutions: If you are a smoker, start to quit smoking gradually, because smoking leads to airway blockage due to irritated membranes that causes snoring; Avoid alcoholic beverages, sedatives and other over the counter drugs that has sedative effects, because intake of any of these may lead to muscle relaxation, hence the airway is composed of functional muscles, once sedated, it will cause muscle sagging and will cause airway blockage and vibrations; Exercise regularly, this will help your muscles become firm and tight, this includes throat exercises; Find enough time for rest and sleep, a tired mind and body leads to deep sleep that gives way to too much muscle relaxation; Find a comfortable lying position on bed, probably side lying position, because lying on your back allows gravitational pull on your tongue and other soft tissues causing airway blockage; Attend to your present health conditions if any, like if you have respiratory tract infections that may cause airway blockage, see to it that you treat them as soon as possible with the help of a physician; And last but not the least, clear nasal passages before sleeping, because nose stuffs cause airway blockage and leads to difficulty in breathing that may cause you to snore.
These are just some basic snoring solutions, although there are still many ways in dealing with it. There are different approaches for different underlying causes and condition to treat snoring. Also, there are practices that give particular attention on the on the severity of health problems that may come along with snoring as a symptom. Consider seeking advices to health experts prior any interventions. Try practicing the simple ways of eliminating snoring problems and see results after certain period of time.

DAYTON — Winter weather in the region this season has had its ups and downs with temperatures in the 50s one day and plunging down into the teens the next.
Cases of illnesses are rising across the country, reminding many of the age-old saying that a shift in temperature is often the culprit to a sudden onset of the sniffles.
But experts say that isn't exactly true. In an article for Women's Health Magazine, Dr. Marc Leavey, a physician in Baltimore, said that while the flux between warm and cool might affect the body's immune system, it's the social gatherings that result from a break in the weather which pose more of a risk of inducing illness.
"As the weather warms up, people start going out more and becoming more social, and whenever groups of individuals get together and are physically close to one another, cold transmission increases," he wrote.
So what can you do to protect yourself as the weather changes and you meet up with people to avoid the winter blues? Here are some tips to keep you healthy this winter.
1. Wear lots of layers
If the forecast calls for a shift in temperature throughout the day, plan your outfit to coordinate. Having something to take off as the day warms up, but can be put back on at night when it's chilly could save you a visit to the doctor. It's also a good idea to keep an extra hat and pair of gloves in your car just in case you get caught in an unexpected snow storm.
2. Consider a humidifier
The heating system in your home can keep you warm, but it can also dry out your nose and mouth. This could decrease their effectiveness in preventing illness, according to Dr. Rebecca Andrews of UConn Health. Adding a humidifier to your home can help offset the dry conditions created from heating your house and reduce the risk of illness spreading if someone sick comes for a visit.
3. Cough into your elbow, not your hands
Your parents were right when they told you to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, but if you really want to prevent the spread of a cold or flu, always cough into a disposable tissue or your elbow. Covering your mouth with your hands can easily spread viruses and germs, so it's best to try those alternatives.
4. Speaking of hands, wash them frequently
It's also best to wash your hands as often as possible during the winter months. Viruses and other bacteria are often picked up from touching things in common gathering places like bathrooms, and often times we think nothing of touching our faces afterward. Washing your hands, especially after using a bathroom or touching handrails and other public faculties, is the best practice to prevent a surprise illness from sneaking up on you.

Under the Sea Party / Pirate Party
Aaaargh me hearties, are you up for some jolly good fun?
A Pirate or Under the Sea Party will do the trick - if ye dare! Aaaargh...
A word of caution....the below ideas are all well and good - but don't blow the budget! Set a budget before you begin planning, and try to stick to it - that way you don't regret it later when your credit card bill comes in! Scour bargain shops, Ebay and supermarkets for the best prices on any party products
There are lots of options with an "Under The Sea" theme and/or Pirate Party theme. And by using your imagination, you can bring out your inner kids-party-design diva too!
It's so easy to find party goods. Under the sea characters are many - fish - dolphins - mermaids (a.k.a. The Little Mermaid Party) - seahorses - pirates - whatever your birthday boy or girl love can be the central themes.
Why not make it a dress-up party? Every child loves to dress up as a mermaid or pirate. If you want to have a try at making a mermaid outfit, source some shimmery silver material from your local sewing shop for the tail, bikini top over a pink tshirt and a long red or blonde wig tops off the outfit nicely.
Pirates can be particularly easy, with a red headscarf, cloth eye-patch and striped t-shirt - boy or girl pirates!
A cute octopus can be acheived by stuffing old pantyhose legs with newspaper or scrap material and then tying them onto a belt - which is also easily removable mid-party racing around!
Don't forget - if you want the kids to dress up - say so on the invitation "Dress up as whatever you like" or perhaps "Dress up as your favourite sea creature" For real incentive, offer a prize for the best costume on the invite - Mums often love a bit of a competition to prove their creative skills!
Plan in advance! Pirate theme and other party goods are available very cheaply around Halloween
Money Saving Tip
Plan in advance! Pirate theme and other party goods are available very cheaply around Halloween
Invitation Ideas...
If you are making your own invitations, consider cutting your them into a waving skull-and-crossbones flag, pirate ship, fish, the shape of a water drip (use blue glitter paper for a "watery" effect!)...you get the idea!s
Buy thin magnetic strips and some double sided tape (both available from any bargain or craft shop). Then, using the tape, adhere a magnet strip to the back of each of your super-cool invitations - your kids party (and so, your kid!) will be the star stuck on their friends refridgerators all year 'round! Instant popularity!

Then, using the tape, adhere a magnet strip to the back of each of your super-cool invitations - your kids party (and so, your kid!) will be the star stuck on their friends refridgerators all year 'round! Instant popularity!
Make up a little invitation poem to get them into the swing of things -
"Deep down, under the sea - where mermaids and pirates and octopus be! Swim on down to Isabella's party..."
"Splish-splash-splosh! Come swimming the ocean with Josh!"
"Aaaargh me hearties, it's time to walk the plank down to Jay's party!"
For that extra touch, start saving your empty plastic drink bottles as soon as possible to use to insert rolled-upinvitations into - this makes them an authentic "message in a bottle"! You can even insert some sand and shells (available for around $2 a bag from your local discount store, such as "Hot Dollar" or "Crazy Bargains")

You can even insert some sand and shells (available for around $2 a bag from your local discount store, such as "Hot Dollar" or "Crazy Bargains")
A note on colour themes
Either Blue, or Blue and Green work really well for this party theme. Colour themes can be great fun, look good and give you some focus to stop your kids party decorations from looking "all at sea" (pardon the pun!).
Keep it simple, one colour with white, or two colours is usually a good effect. Balloons, crepe paper streamers and plastic tableclothes (around $2-$3) in block colours can make any party look great, and are all inexpensive items! You can get them from bargain shops at the cheapest prices, but also they are usually available from Kmart, party stores and supermarkets
Tie blue and/or green streamers to make an ocean doorway for kids to walk through upon arrival to set the scene! Simply tie them to a branch or light stick and fix over a doorway or tree with sticky tape or string.
Fish or Sea Animal print balloons can be bought from party shops or online - printed balloons are more expensive, so mix them up with some plain coloured balloons to make them go further - it usually looks better that way anyhow. If you don't want to buy printed balloons, a permanent black marker will do the trick to draw fish, octopus, starfish, etc on - if you have the time and patience! You can make really cute octopus by drawing eyes and a smiley mouth onto a balloon and then sticky tape eight streamers on it to dangle down! You can also buy transparent blue and green balloons that look very "sea-like" when tied together.
Remember, balloons, particularly hellium (hire a tank locally, or buy already blown up from your local party shop or florist) ones need to be inflated on the day for the best effect - plan your time wisely, or delegate the job to a helper, especially if you have little ones to care for and dress! To save time, you can cut pre-measured lengths of string to tie to the balloons (Just use thin coloured parcel ribbon, around $2 from bargain stores). If you are using hellium, balloon weights in cute shapes are available from party stores for around 30 cents each and the kids love 'em!
For table decorations, the possibilities are endless. To get the kids involved, get them to colour in pictures available from craft websites, then they can cut them out and stick them on cardboard to stand on the party table. Look for low-cost shredded blue foil paper, or shred it yourself with scissors to scatter down the table. Borrow some dry sand from the sand pit, add shells that you've brought back from holidays or bought from bargain stores.
Buy cheap sea-themed stickers to stick all over large plastic chip bowls. Under the Sea and/or Pirate printed paper plates, cups and lolly bags can all be found on the internet too, with Pirate gear being the least expensive. Plain coloured plates etc still look good, and they all end up in the bin at the end of the day anyhow!
Party Favors
Cheap party favor ideas for table scatters or take-home lolly bags can be easily found at your local mall. Look for packs of blue blow-outs or party horns. Kmart stock the cheapest plastic sea animal packs ($3 for about 16 toys), Break up pirate stationery sets (Kmart) for each bag which will only work out to be about 20-30c an item, or Pirate party favor sets are often available from supermarkets in the party aisle, or of course party shops, for around $12 that will take care of 8 complete loot bags. You can also look for bulk pirate eye patches and pirate hat packs, gold party necklace sets and gold chocolate coins (Treasure Chest loot). Check Ebay, although sometimes Ebay can be more expensive - but sometimes it can be a lot cheaper! You can save lots by shopping around...
Going for some atmosphere music or sound effects? "Under the Sea" kids party soundtracks are sometimes available online or at party shops. Trawl sound-effect websites that have .wav files (the ones that can be played in normal CD players) available for download to burn to CDs. For sea side wave and seagull sounds, Google "relaxation sea sound effects .wav", "pirate voice .wav", etc.
Food Ideas
A great centre-piece for your party table can be a watermelon pirate ship fruit bowl! This looks complicated, but it is actually quite simple. Firstly, you need to get yourself a whole watermelon. Try to source this from your local farmers market if possible, as this will probably be cheaper than buying one from the supermarket (around $15 for a whole watermelon). Then wash your hands - it's going to get messy from here on in! Cut your melon to the size you would like your pirate ship to be. Equal halves is fine, but it's better to have it slightly larger than half, to give you a little scope if you decide to carve it for detail. Now you have your half, either cut out the melon, or send in the kids to scoop and scrape it all out with their hands, taking care not to damage, crack or cut the melon. You now have your empty bowl which you can fill with fruit - prettily arranged, of course! The final touch is draw or print out two skull and crossbone flag pictures, one large and one small (you can download two differently sized skull and crossbones images here (word doc)) -. Cut them out and thread them, large one on the bottom, onto a skewer or thin stick to make your sail - You now have your pirate ship fruit bowl!
Jelly cups will go fast, so make as many as you have kids. To theme them, get clear blue disponsable cups and some blue spoons to go in them. Put the spoon in the cup, pour in your jelly and pop in a fish lolly or perhaps a jelly frog or "sea" snake lolly. Set them in the fridge as per usual and serve them on a tray. Hey presto - Jellyfish Jelly!
You can get Star cookie-cutters (available from the supermarket, off of Ebay, or check out your local kitchen specialty stores) to make Starfish cookies or fairy bread with a difference. You can even stick eyes on them by finely slicing a musk-stick for star-shaped eyes!
Belgian sea shell chocolates scattered along the table make for edible table scatters - yum!
For hot nibblies, you can wrap mini fish-shaped nuggets and oven-bake chips in small squares of newspaper for "Fish and Chips". Frankfurts with tomato sauce dip can be pirate fingers dipped in blood (for those gory older boy parties!), and you can wash it all down with pirate blood (Creaming Soda).
Another great party idea is food signs. It can be fun to type sea-themed food names (in the "Blackadder" font in Microsoft Word) and then print and cut them out them out for placement on the party table. For example, you could have "Mermaid Scales"(Mint Leave lollies), "Crunchy Coral" (Frenchfries potato chips), "Cuttlefish"(Arnotts Thins potato chips), "Pirate Teeth"(Black Jelly Beans), "Baby Starfish"(Milk buds), "Sea Anemones"(Cupcakes with lollies sticking out of the top, or anything round and large - such as Marshmallow biscuits) - the only limit is your imagination!
If you are a dedicated party cake maker, fish and mermaid cake patterns can be found in most kids birthday cake magazines
Cup cakes are always crowd-pleaser. For one-minute themed decoration, Cake Toppers are simple plastic rings with pictures on, available from party stores and/or Ebay.
Fish lollies are available from some supermarkets, and are a quick and easy cup-cake topper - make up your icing with a few drops of blue food colouring, and then just dip the cupcake into a tray of hundreds and thousands and pop a fish lolly on top! For contrast, you can do every second cake with polka-dots (smarties)!

So here I am, trying to figure out how to create a page template. Of course SharePoint doesn't like you to save things as templates if you have the publishing feature turned on ( i knew why, but the momentary laps in judgement due to my add, made me forget). So what do I do? Like a total noob, i go and disable publshing feature.
No Suup forrr JU! – soup nazi.
Errors all over the place. So naturally I said oops and tried to re enable it. It doesn't scream at me.
But alas, the New Page Button is gone from the site actions menu.
Minor inconvenience i guess…but no it isn't. There is more. I navigate to the Pages library to confirm its still there and it is. So i decide to create a new page and it does. But when i try to check it in i get:
-Invalid SPListItem. The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page.- And a bunch of red /.
Panic starts to set it.
But then I remembered something Yoda once said. Ok there are many things Yoda said that apply here, but none rang more true than:
May the Force be with you.
Powershell is a life saver. I did a quick search on syntax and ran these very commands:
PS C:\Users\spfarmadmin>Disable-spfeature Publishing -url http://yoursite/subsite -force
PS C:\Users\spfarmadmin> Enable-spfeature Publishing -url http://yoursite/subsite -force
Everything is back to normal. New Page button is back.
Now if i can only -force myself to stop doing stupid things in SharePoint, I would be set.
But then you guys wouldn't have anything to read about.

Baby, where you going?
Baby, you don't know a thing.
You don't know the ways of the world,
Stop saying such words
Stop saying "cock"
Stop saying "fuck"
Why's everything you say have to be a dirty joke?
Stop wearing all those opinions on your sleeve,
A heart is safer by a long shot.
We want your brain in your throat.
Baby, where you going?
Baby, why you packing your bags?
Don't you know this is home?
You leave now you're always gonna be alone.
I wanna hit you bad
I wanna hit you hard.
I wanna hurt your beauty,
I wanna hurt it hard.
Walk away, child, just run away before I leap
Get out of here,
I can't stand your beauty
I can't stand the glare.
I need to punch it, wreck it, smash it fix it
I birthed you, I fed you, I bled you, I read to you
I did all the right things in all the right ways
So why do you want to walk away?

Great post! You HAVE been taking care of a lot of people lately, and you can't forget yourself. Always remember what they say on the plane. If/ when the oxygen drops, use if for yourself, first. You need it before you can take care of others. We tend to forget that. Our first impulse would be to get that mask and make sure everyone else used it first. Be sure you take care of you!!

I like to think I use my time carefully, but in truth I let a lot of it slip away. I try to concentrate on making the most of time with my family and friends.

Price: $15.95
Publisher: Ancient Faith Publishing
Gift Wrapping:
Close to Home is for every young mother who's ever wished children came with an instruction manual; who's ever longed for just one quiet minute to finish a thought or utter a prayer; who's ever despaired of perfecting herself in time to become a good example for her children; who's ever wondered why "happily ever after" takes so darn much work.
With courage, humor, and unflinching honesty, Molly Sabourin addresses all these frustrations and more-offering not answers or solutions, but a new perspective, a pat on the shoulder, a reassuring "I've been there too, and there is hope." Those who share her "quest for patience, peace, and perseverance" will see themselves in these pages, laugh a little, cry a little, and close the book with new strength to continue the quest.
"The Orthodox Church is a repository of great and full spiritual literature- much of which can make a mother of young children feel like she's an irrelevant, distracted, decidedly non-spiritual entity with Cheerios in her hair. Is it possible to flourish and grow in your faith, while changing diapers and driving carpool? Close to Home shows that the answer is yes- and what's more, you're not alone." -Frederica Mathewes-Green, author of Facing East and At the Corner of East and Now

They had a lot of nice food (though there weren't a lot of savoury options...)
To Celestine and Matilda, sprinkles are like sweets!
But things soon went downhill...
Matilda had a little too much whiskey as usual...
We went on lots of walks, especially in Autumn.
And then there was Halloween!
We went to a wedding on actual Halloween. Celestine wrote a Halloween letter to her friends Dixie and Percy in her red witch's hat and cape. She enjoyed getting her pumpkin tea set out. (Made by Sally Meekins ceramics.)
I just realised this whole post is basically just about Celestine! Whoops!
Well, that's probably because I have just been working mainly lately. Working working working. Which is fine because I enjoy it. But it seems Celestine has been living my life for me lately while I work! haha.

The card is to be used at merchants for purchase of goods and services and will have its own Point of Sale System, the machines used to swipe popular payments cards.
This is likely to launch an intense battle for the local payment market which has recently seen fast rising uptake of Visa card services particularly at petrol stations and bars and eateries.
However, the move by Safaricom to introduce this card, which it has previously sought to bring to the market, is seen by some as being more of a reaction to plans by local banks to introduce a interbank switch allowing cash transfers within the banking system without going through MPESA.
However, that threat was significantly hobbled when the two largest banks in Kenya, KCB and Equity Groups, instituted demands before signing onto the switch including the fact that the switch would not allow merchant banking.
This means it cannot be used for payment of goods and services like MPESA.

The card has NFC. You simply tap and goDelete
Why again the use of physical cards yet cards are being replaced with phone apps and use of NFC?ReplyDeleteReplies

House for sale at € 420000 in Massa MartanaName/Address:
This rustic stone house has history beneath its very foundations as it lies in a beautiful location directly along the Via Flaminia, the ancient road that led to Rome. This old property that descends from the Roman Age served as the stopping post for travellers and their horses on their way to and from Rome. The ancient water well that served the horses is still abundant and fully-functional today, albeit as a type of "pool". The modern Via Flaminia now runs through another valley leaving the ancient one as a wonderful country pathway.
During the restoration process of this simple stone house, many original materials survived and were re-used thereby rendering the property a special charm.
Spread over three levels, the property offers: a ground floor fully-equipped guest apartment with a kitchen/living room, one bedroom and a bathroom.
The other two floors have been linked via an indoor stairwell and make up the main house. The first floor comprises a live-in kitchen with a fireplace and a living room; the second floor boasts two bedrooms, a closet and a bathroom.
The house makes for an ideal all-year round residence thanks to its light rooms and modern facilities.
The property also envelops approximately 1500 m? of land and includes a covered terrace (portico), a cluster of trees, a lawn and the above-mentioned well. The unlimited views of the rolling south-eastern Umbrian countryside and on to the Monti Martani Nature Reserve complete the picture.
Ideally located in Villa San Faustino, the property is only 3km from the E45, which links Perugia with Terni and other nearby towns such as Todi and Spoleto with good links to Perugia and Rome airports.
Spread over three floors, this historic property found on the ancient road that leads to Rome boasts a fully equipped guest apartment, perfect for renting out and an additional 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Woops! Oktoberfest
"Steins, Pretzels, Sausages and an authentic Oktoberfest band await you in the air-conditioned festival tent. Don your lederhosen, grab your Fraulein and get into the spirit of all things German... just make sure you take your towel and get there before the Germans do!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or die of embarrassment. Neither did they. So we all did both.

What a culturally insensitive ad, especially for a "multi-kulti" place like this!
Some people just wouldn't get it - but most importantly, it's just not the appropriate lingo to use on a promotional ad in a 5* Hotel!

This year, my shopping goal is to stay within my clothing budget the majority of the time. I set a monthly budget, but I know there will be some overlap at the beginning of seasons when new things are being put out in stores. As long as I stay within my budget each quarter, I'll call that a success.
I know it's only January, but I already have spring on my mind. I won't get use out of my winter clothes for much longer, so I'm starting to focus on pieces that will make the transition from winter to spring easy. That means pastels, floral, and lots of white. Peep toe shoes may seem a little silly for those of you who still have snow on the ground, but I think I can manage here in Texas. With these styles, at least most of my foot will be covered, right??

Washington, DC, November 13, 2009 – PIJAC believes that responsible pet ownership should be applauded, rewarded, and encouraged, not limited. That's the message being transmitted across the internet by a campaign video launched today by PIJAC www.youtube.com/pijac4pets.
In response to the increasing effort of local, state, and federal governments to limit the number of and/or ban certain pets, PIJAC is now fully launching its new membership campaign, Don't Mess with My PetTM – Protect Responsible Pet Ownership. The campaign serves to educate responsible pet owners on the legislative threats to pet ownership and enable them to become PIJAC Members. Ultimately, PIJAC hopes these new Members will play an active role in legislative efforts to protect responsible pet ownership.

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all
the ingredients except the flank steak
and the garnish. Pour half of the
marinade into a resealable 1-gallon
plastic bag and add the flank steak.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least
8 and up to 24 hours.
Pour the remaining marinade into a
saucepan over medium-high heat and
simmer until it is reduced by half, 10 to
15 minutes. Season to taste.
Preheat a grill to high or heat a skillet over
high heat. Remove the flank steak from the
marinade and wipe off the excess liquid with
paper towels. (Discard the meat's marinade.)
Grill or pan-sear both sides of the steak,
then lower the heat to medium and cook to
medium rare (135 F), 8 to 10 minutes.
Let the flank steak rest, covered with foil, for
5 to 10 minutes. Cut the steak on the bias
across the grain and serve with the reduced
marinade. If desired, garnish with celery
and tomatoes. Makes 4 to 8 servings.

Finish these cakes by topping with mayonnaise seasoned with Sriracha hot sauce and
lemon juice, and a spoonful of tobiko (flying
fish roe), salmon roe or other caviar.
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
3 ripe avocados
Spicy mayonnaise for garnish
Caviar, for garnish
Whip the cream to soft mounds. Stir in the
mustard, then fold in the crab and season
to taste with salt and pepper.
Peel and pit the avocados, and cut crosswise
into ½-inch-thick slices.
Set out 4 small plates and place a ring mold (see
note) in the center of each plate. Arrange enough
avocado slices in the ring molds to completely
cover the bottoms of the molds with the curved
sides of the avocado facing out. You should
have at least half of the avocado slices left.
Divide the crab salad among the 4 ring molds,
smoothing the tops. Arrange as many of the
remaining avocado slices as needed to cover
the crab salad in the ring molds. Remove the
molds by gently lifting them straight up. Garnish
with spicy mayo and caviar, and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
Note: You'll need 4 molds that are about 2½
inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. Eight-ounce tomato sauce cans work perfectly.
Recipe from Tom Douglas's Seatown Seabar
& Rotisserie in Seattle.

|Daniel Boschung (DE) focuses as an artist on human-machine interaction and the transition from the analog to the digital age. In the project for which he is best known, "Face Cartography," he explores how people react to portraits rendered by industrial robots. His life performance "The Past is faster than You" visualizes the pace and quantity of the flow of digital information. His interactive installation "Ways to Fortune" is an animated depiction of the personal, individual dialog between bank customers and their advisors. "Moving Universe" is an installation about globalization. Before starting his career as an artist, Daniel Boschung worked as a commercial photographer and photojournalist. His images have been published in Bilanz, Manager Magazine and Geo-Saison, among others. Many of his photographed advertising campaigns have been singled out for recognition with multiple awards, both domestic and internati
