Acute Bronchitis Cough in Children
Home treatment of a cough in a child with bronchitis includes:
- Avoid respiratory irritants, such as pollution, pollen, mold, dust and chemical fumes
- Change A/C and furnace filters regularly.
- Avoid exposure to secondary smoke.
- Drink warm liquids to relieve coughing spasms.
- Use throat lozenges, but do not use them in children under 5 years of age.
- Place a vaporizer or nebulizer in the bedroom at night.
Cough medicines:
- Cough medicines rarely reduce coughing.
- Cough medications that contain dextromethorphan may reduce a dry cough.
- Cough medications that contain guaifenesin (Robitussin) may make it easier to cough up phlegm.
- Guaifenesin is often combined with dextromethorphan (Robitussin-DM).
Dosing Dextromethorphan
|Childs Weight
|Dextromethorphan Dose
|22 lb (10 kg)
|5 mg every 8 hrs
|33 lb (15 kg)
|7.5 mg every 8 hrs

Cough medication precautions:
- Contact your doctor before using cough medicine in a child less than 6 years old.
- A cough can help clear infected mucus from the lungs. Suppressing the cough may reduce the child's ability to fight the infection.
- Cough medicine can cause drowsiness.
- Talk to the doctor before you give cough medicine to a child who has asthma, lung disease, heart disease or kidney disease.

Abstract : The infrared absorption spectrum of Teflon at 298K from 2 to 15 microns and the surface emission spectrum at a minimum temperature of 700K from 2.7 to 6.0 microns are reported. Corresponding absorption coefficients and emissivity are discussed. The emissivity varies with wavelength in accordance with the absorption, as expected, so that assignment of a color temperature or description of the hot surface as a grey body are not valid.

BONN (Jan. 16)
Germany's Foreign Ministry disclosed Wednesday that criminal investigations have been opened in response to allegations that German companies supplied Iraq with equipment to produce enriched uranium, a component of nuclear weapons.
The ministry did not name the companies under scrutiny, but sources outside the ministry said they included some "giants" with excellent connections in Bonn.
The material for the criminal probe came partly from the United Nations, said government sources, adding that the government would cooperate fully with the United Nations in further efforts to gather information about Iraq's nuclear capability.
The German industrialists association declined to comment on allegations against any of its members, except to note that no company has yet been convicted of illegally exporting to Iraq.

Patriots add Josh Kline to practice squad, cut Jeff Tarpinian
FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots continued to shuffle the deck on Wednesday, making two more minor roster moves.
The team announced it had signed rookie offensive lineman Josh Kline to the practice squad and released second-year linebacker Jeff Tarpinian to make room.
Kline, undrafted out of Kent State, had been released from the team's roster Sept. 2 after spending training camp with the team. He plays both tackle and guard.
Tarpinian shifted back and forth between the team's 53-man roster and its practice squad the last two seasons before getting cut out of training camp again this year. He was signed to the team's practice squad on Sunday before being released on Wednesday.
The Patriots have three offensive linemen on its practice squad, including Kline and tackles R.J. Dill and Jordan Devey. They join linebacker Ja'Gared Davis, safety Kanorris Davis, defensive lineman Marcus Forston, defensive back Justin Green, and wide receiver Quentin Sims.

Left For Dead In Joshua Tree NP
jenn April 22nd, 2009
I got my taxes squared away. Unfortunately, Johnny was still doing his and seemed like he would be for hours. I wasn't in any mood to lounge around the camper and decided it was time for some fun. So, I talked Johnny into unhooking the scooter for me and proceeded into Joshua Tree National Park. I wasn't sure if we were going to drive in there before we left our boondocking area just outside of the park, and I wanted to see a damn Joshua Tree.
After working the scooter through the loose sand, I hit Cottonwood road and headed into the park. It was a pleasant ride, albeit slow. The first part was all up hill and the scooter was moving between 10 and 15mph. It was during this part of the trip that I realized I didn't bring a jug of water. Not good. Once I made it up to the visitors center it sped up to about 30mph. From then on, it was smooth sailing. I stopped at all of the various markers and checked out some Ocotillo trees in bloom. I was lucky enough to see a rare purple aster that supposedly only grows in this area. The only wildlife I saw were a few lizards and a rabbit. No sheep for me… sigh. After a long ride in the Colorado desert, I finally made it in to the Mojave. I looked at my fuel gauge, but it hadn't moved. I decided to go all of the way to White Tank Campground.
When I arrived there I was overcome by the scenery. The giant boulders surrounded by Joshua Trees were an awesome sight. I was so entranced I almost didn't notice the time or my fuel gauge. I didn't have a clock, but the sun was pretty low in the sky. The gauge read 3/4 tank. I thought, "Plenty of time and fuel, but I should head back." I got to see a Joshua Tree! Too bad it took 30 miles.

Redrawing the equity map with global small caps
The earth is flat... or so it was believed, until sometime after 500 B.C. Until then, explorers dared not venture too far, for fear of reaching the physical limits of the planet and... falling off. It's easy to imagine how constrained the world must have seemed to those who held this view. Equity indexing, too, has had its own "flat earth" period, when the global opportunity set seemed to be limited to the largest stocks from a select number of large countries.

*Picture from Yelp
Secolari, a family-run store that sells natural pasta, vinegar, and olive oil, has been open in Bethesda for almost a year. It's right on the main street (Bethesda Row for out-of-towners.) There's also one in Columbia Mall in Howard County. As far as I'd known, New York City was the only place that offered this kind of culinary specialization. And now I think NYC would do well to have a Secolari available.
Secolari's owners go to shows in California to meet with farmers and vineyard owners from whom they buy products. The pasta is sourced from a company in Denver, and comes in flavors like tomato basil and dark chocolate. I bought a package of the tomato basil, and it's delicious. You can also buy gluten-free varieties. Even better are the vinegar offerings: you can get vinegar in flavors like garlic, orange, and rosemary. I bought a dark raspberry balsamic vinaigrette too, for salad dressing. The berries they use to flavor them are grown organically.
In the interest of natural food and small business, I'd recommend Secolari if you have some extra money for pasta. And while you're at it, check out all the other shops on Bethesda Row. They're expensive, but most of them are independently-owned and high-quality. It makes me happy that the more coveted a neighborhood is, the more small stores are able to thrive in it. That's a counterintuitive thing, and it's great.

… to the website of Sharon Leahy & Rick Good
Original Creations & Living Traditions
The creative team of Leahy & Good began making art in the 1980s and has proven through the course of the past thirty-five years to be prolific, eclectic, inspiring and entertaining.
Represented here is our work as individuals, as a duo, and in our current ensembles: Good & Young and The Elements. Also included is content which can no longer be found on the former Rhythm in Shoes website at www.rhythminshoes.org.
Following the artistic success of Carry it on…, Sharon's first dance for camera, she recently completed her second, GROUND FINE, which premeired August 3, 2017 at the Acadiana Center for the Arts.
Ground Fine dancers Emma Young, Kelli Jones and Clare Cook
Read all about it on the GROUND FINE page.
Teaching dance and music at summer camps has been a part of our lives for nearly forty years. Folks of all ages take time off from their day-to-day lives to learn clogging, square dancing, singing and stringed instrument playing from professional artists.
This summer we had the pleasure of two camp experiences: Augusta Heritage Bluegrass Week, in West Virginia, and Ashokan Fiddle and Dance Southern Week, in New York.
Davis & Elkins College, in the hills of Elkins, West Virginia is the setting for all the Augusta Camps. Although we were there for Bluegrass Week, the name of our class was Choreography and Ensemble Building for Percussive Dancers.
Each morning and afternoon, Monday through Friday, Sharon led a group of nine able dancers through an intensive exploration of how dances are conceived and perfected. As always, Rick was on hand with banjo and guitar supplying music in a myriad of forms, both traditional and experimental.
Sharon and Rick also took part in a concert presented by Bluegrass Week staff members, as well as three evening square dances.
Southern Week at Ashokan has been a part of our summers since the early eighties. This beautiful camp in the Catskills is home to the Ashokan Center, the oldest outdoor environmental education organization in New York State.
Among the many Southern Week activities, Rick leads an old time finger-style banjo class each morning and plays in the staff band for Sharon's popular Team Clogging class each afternoon.

Our latest musical endeavor has us teamed-up with our longtime Ohio friends, Michael & Sandy Bashaw. We call ourselves The Elements and we do our best to keep it real in a most eclectic way.
We recently played a show with our tap dancing pal, Chris Erk in the old Rhythm in Shoes studio in downtown Dayton. It was a particularly intimate evening and those who were "in the loop" found out about it in time to to enjoy some great music and dance.
If you want to be "in the loop," check our CALENDAR page now and then for regular updates.
Our favorite place to play these days is Natalie's, a popular live music venue in Worthington, Ohio. It's the go-to place for quality alternative music of all kinds and the food is great as well.
Our first appearance in the New Year will be there on January 4th. Come and see us!
The photo at the top of this page comes from the music video of Where There is Love, one of Michael and Sandy's many fine songs with their band Puzzle of Light. The video is part of the Playing for Change movement and was made in Dayton, by Dayton artists.
Good & Young at the Blue Moon in Lafayette
When were in Louisiana, we have the pleasure of playing with our daughter Emma and her husband Linzay in the Good & Young Family Band.
It's a veritable festival of traditional music and dance when we crank up the fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass and accordion, and sing our way through America.
Be sure to check our CALENDAR page regularly for details regarding all our appearances, North & South.

Green Up: Game time, Day 2February 3, 2006 in /
In late January the development team of "America's Army," the United States Army's free video game for the Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems, arrived in Camp Guernsey, Wyo., for three days of hands-on training and demonstrations via the Green Up event. These people would ordinarily spend their days coding video games, planning the next release of the game, implementing bug fixes and planning future versions of the title or marketing. For a few days they will be given full access to some of the actual weapons, vehicles, physical training and technologies used in their game.
Along with them is UPI Technology Correspondent Chris Barylick.
Day Two: It's 6:30 a.m. and we're walking towards Camp Guernsey's mess hall in almost pitch-black darkness, a clear sky overhead showing every star imaginable.
Breakfast is mainly composed of starch and carbohydrates, the developers discussing the previous day's events and the demonstrations planned for the day. Weapons familiarization and the VBIED (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device) are the anticipated highlights of the day, and the Army has advised us to bring heavy work gloves, as we'll be picking up the remnants of the explosion.
A 30-minute drive through the valley brings us to the firing range, where we step out of the bus to find several picnic tables laden with weapons and ammunition. Instructors and supervisors lead us over to high-school style metal bleachers, where they go over the safety rules again, pair the group up as "battle buddies" and hand out ear plugs.
Down the range is something unexpected. Watermelon-green plastic silhouette targets on wooden stakes have been interspersed at various distances, the closer targets covered with black and white garbage bags that almost look like shirts on the figures. Where the bullets would normally tear through the target, leaving almost no trace of the round's hit except for a small hole, the bags allow the grouping to be easily tracked.
As the development team begins to move through its rotation firing different weapons, they begin to enjoy the experience. A sense of pure geek joy seems to move throughout the scene, despite its violence and almost deafeningly loud noise, even through the ear plugs. Air Force and Special Forces instructors work through the team, allowing each person a set amount of ammunition to expend, remaining patient and clearing jams when they arise. A gun dealer from the nearby town of Wheatland contributes some Russian machine guns and a Glock machine pistol to the lineup, offering what advice he can and calmly walking each person through the basics.
The most surprising moment of the morning comes in the form of watching as Susan Land, the development team's production manager, learning how to fire an M203 grenade launcher. The sole woman on the bus, she brings a sort of genteel southern charm to a group of programmers and techies out of their normal environment, handing out Gummi bears, Pringles and strips of beef jerky at a moment's notice.
And now she's getting tutorials on how to fire a grenade launcher (which, despite being loaded with paint rounds, still looks intimidating).
The VBIED has been set up a short bus ride away, the gutted remains of a truck serving as a staging ground for 500 pounds of ammonium nitrate to be set off with multiple human silhouette targets nearby. As we arrive, several developers are throwing a football back and forth while the team responsible for setting off the device makes final preparations. Gavin Donnelly of the Wyoming Department of Homeland Security answers final questions about the bomb, which has been divided into two barrels that have been loaded onto the main truck.
Holding out a double handful of pink pellets, he explains how the charges will be ignited via a detonation cord and what to expect from the concussive force, which will affect everything in its blast radius and should knock down or destroy the nearby human silhouettes.
A short bus ride later we join a convoy of more than 40 vehicles on a valley hillside overlooking the detonation area. Local officials including police, fire and military personnel stand by to watch the event from a safe distance of 1,200 meters before leaving to begin cleaning up the aftermath.
Binoculars and cameras are pulled out, and we watch the device explode in the middle of a dry Wyoming field, the explosion surging upwards and mimicking a small mushroom cloud. Despite the distance, the shockwave tears along the ground and through the group, resonating throughout the body. The developers, who have time to kill before returning to the blast radius, pull out their MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) kits, compare the random items they've been given and settle down to an impromptu picnic, occasional fumes from the MRE's charcoal burners coloring the air with what appears to be white steam.
After the fires have been put out, we arrive at the blast site to be gathered into a circle and handed work gloves. We form a line and begin walking forward, picking up debris and creating small piles for a tractor to gather later.
At the center of the explosion a small crater about 15 inches deep has been formed. The three vehicles in the explosion have been thrown aside and completely gutted, their metal frames scorched and dented.
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the entire event is the burn that's been left behind. An area of dried, near-blond grass several hundred feet in diameter has been scorched black, the people walking around it providing a means of mentally measuring the damage.
Walking through the wreckage, we pick up everything we can get our hands on, sometimes forming satellite piles of debris and calling each other over to help with larger pieces of shrapnel. For the most part, we find ourselves picking up pieces of rubber, plastic and fiberglass, the insulation, seats and tires having been torn apart in the blast.
The worst moments come when we find the silhouette targets. More than knocked over by the concussive force and shockwave, they've been battered against anything solid enough not to move. Picking up a target made headless by a hot chunk of shrapnel that tore through its upper torso, you realize the human body isn't that much more solid than this piece of plastic.
This demonstration is fairly typical of campaign-based explosions like the ones in Afghanistan and Iraq, which typically use a payload of 500 to 1,000 pounds of explosives inside a sedan that have been created from widely available chemicals and/or recovered munitions.
A trip back to the firing range ensures that everyone has sufficient hands-on time with the weapons. With the sun setting to the west, Sergeant Neil picks up an M16 rifle and begins demonstrating how to engage targets while moving. Slowly walking through the target field, he raises the rifle to fire at targets as necessary while lowering it to take in everything around him. Handing the rifle off to Monkey, who is still covered in camouflage clothing, body armor, combat helmet, goggles, gloves and A/V equipment, he lets him walk the course and fire. Once again, Monkey impresses the group around him, engaging the targets almost perfectly while lowering the rifle to use his peripheral vision.
During the final briefing of the day, Sergeant Neil takes center stage to discuss convoy training, which the developers will go through as a final exercise. Tying in with the "Real Heroes" program the Army intends to include for future versions of the "America's Army" game, Neil and other combat veterans' experiences will be used as a basis for missions and events within the title. The game is expected to grow like a role-playing title with a more customizable figure that can advance and unlock additional portions of the game after certain goals have been completed.
Convoy training is about the last thing anyone wants to think about but is the thing that needs to be discussed the most as Sergeant Neil opens his PowerPoint presentation on convoy tactics. The classroom dark, save for the light from the LCD projector, Neil begins to walk the development groups through dozens of slides as to the basics of convoy fighting, what's being done with IED tactics and what can be done in given situations.
The goal in these situations isn't necessarily to win every initial encounter, but to survive, keep equipment in running order, try to make sure there are no additional shocks after the first attack and that they can pull out and find an alternate route with as few casualties as possible. Tactics such as knowing how to plow through surrounding traffic, learning how to exit the vehicles under fire, covering wounded teammates with another person's body armor, angling the formation to return fire, setting up casualty collection points and calling in QRF (Quick Reaction Forces) personnel to help fight, are explained in detail.
It's a new school of combat and they're trying to make sense of complete chaos in these situations. As a result, this has become standard training prior to deployment and is practiced over and over again until it becomes muscle memory that can actually be relied upon when something like this does happen.
Walking into the evening's party, the developers and instructors have started a small pool tournament while a multiplayer game of "America's Army" is being set up. The topic centers on the upcoming physical training session at 6:30 a.m., which few people are looking forward to. As a result, people are approaching Sergeant Doug Davidson to ask him exactly what awaits them in the morning. Smiling, Davidson gives no specifics and focuses on talking to the people around him.
As I leave the bar and walk back to my room, I go over the day in my mind, 500-pound explosion included.
I then realize that in the last several hours, I've inadvertently learned how to fire a grenade launcher.
And I wonder where to put that on a resume.

My mother-in-law Pat is a legendary cook.
Particularly when it comes to sweets.
You ask her grandchildren about her sponge cakes and her lamingtons and her Charlotte au Chocolat and her Chocolate Rum Pie and her 13 Layer Mocha Cake.
She is also a formidable individual.
All 5 foot nothing of her.
Terrifying I'm telling you 😉
Especially if you're caught doing the wrong thing in her kitchen.
One of my favourite Hogan family stories from many years ago is of Steve's brother picking Pat up, sitting her on top of the fridge and leaving her up there till she calmed down. Gorgeous.
So when I was given the job of cooking this year's Christmas puddings, having never done them before, I thought I'd call on Pat to show me the ropes. Especially as I was using her grandmother's handwritten recipe.
Deep breath.
Pass the brandy.
I wish life allowed more time for this, cooking side by side with
someone who bosses you around someone you love. Neglecting to buy slivered almonds. Not having to rush.
Learning things that only a lifetime can teach you.
It really was a lovely afternoon.
Learning that you must grease the pudding bowl by hand and use plenty of butter.
Standing together with spoons in hand, tasting, tasting, agreeing that while the recipe calls for 1 gill of brandy, 8 tastes sooooo much better.
I have been really struggling with the whole Christmas thing this year. Not wanting to get sucked into the consumer vortex but also not wanting to be a bah humbug downer for the kids. Business confidence is at its lowest in Australia in three and half years. Steve's been out of action for five weeks with more to come after a 70 kilo sheep charged him fair and square in the sternum. But you know what? As a new friend online said to me recently "Let those be my problems."
We are not living in Syria.
Or – heartbreakingly – Newtown, Conneticut.
Today was a humble little taste of Christmas for me. What Christmas should be about. Being bossed around by an 86 year old 5 foot nothing dynamo who was so chuffed to share her pudding secrets. Not just with me. But with you.
This is a gift from Pat my friends.
Season to taste, with brandy, rum, sherry .. whatever you have on hand.
I love you Pat – and I'm sooooo glad you have a sense of humour 🙂
The Hogan Family Christmas Pudding
450g currants
450g sultanas
225g raisins
225g citron peel
120ml brandy
450g butter
450g brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
9 eggs
brandy, dry sherry, cointreau (because Pat forgot the Bundaberg Rum – honestly!)
112g SLIVERED! almonds lol
225g plain flour
1/2 a grated nutmeg (1 tsp)
1 big tsp mixed spice (you might want to add a bit more to taste at the end)
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
225g breadcrumbs (processed from fresh white bread)
Soak the currants, sultanas, raisins and citron peel overnight in 120 ml (1 gill) of brandy.
Have 2 large boilers of boiling water in readiness ( the water needs to come no more than half way up the pudding tin).
Cream butter and sugar.
Add well beaten eggs.
Add grog. mmm… We started with about 3 lids of brandy and 3 lids of sherry. to be continued…
Stir in fruit.
Add breadcrumbs and sifted dry ingredients.
(We added a bit more mixed spice, significantly more brandy and sherry (you've got to be able to taste the grog in it) and then a little more flour too help soak up said grog).
Da dah!
Put into 2 x 2 litre pudding tins, greased generously by hand with butter. Lids too.
Divide the mixture into both.
Cover with a sheet of aluminium foil.
Put the lids on. Fold the foil to the top. Clip lids into place then secure the lids with string – it also helps to pull the hot puddings out of the water.
Place in the boiling water – no higher than half. Boil for 4 hours. Set your timer regularly to check water levels. Every 20 min? Pat said the first hour is the most critical … try not to lose the heat when you check the water levels. Carefully top up with boiling water from the kettle as you need – just keep it near the edge of the boiler and not the pudding.
Don't let it boil dry (like I did). Did I say that out loud?
Boil on Christmas Day for 2 hours.
Serve with brandy sauce and hard sauce.
Order a taxi.
P.S. I think we could have a sequel in us … "The best sponge in the world" perhaps…
P.P.S. To those, whose hearts today, are breaking … for what it's worth, our hearts are with you. Our love from far away. xx

"On the hook for what has been called "one of the biggest ticket refunds in history" is an entertainment company owned by San Francisco Examiner proprietor Philip Anschutz.
The company, AEG Live, was the promoter of Michael Jackson's London concerts, which reportedly had sold approximately 1 million tickets, at a face value of $85 million. A small amount of that, at best, may be covered by an insurance policy, according to news reports.
AEG Live is part of the Anschutz Entertainment Group, one of the world's largest sports and entertainment enterprises, which in turn is a subsidiary of the Anschutz Co., a private holding company owned by the Denver billionaire.
Anschutz recently added the Weekly Standard, the conservative political magazine previously owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., to his list of media properties, for an undisclosed price.
Apart from the ticket refunds, Anschutz's entertainment company also owes Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, $300,000, according to Murray's attorney, Edward Chernoff.
AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips said Murray was to be paid $150,000 per month, but that AEG, as reported by the Associated Press, "was merely advancing the money to Jackson."
It is not clear what AEG Live, or anyone else in Anschutz's far-flung empire, might have known about some of Murray's reported problems, including $400,000 in court judgments in Nevada, a declared bankruptcy in California, and the lack of board certification in cardiology, Murray's medical specialty.
In media interviews, Phillips has said AEG Live hired Murray at Jackson's insistence.

Happiness is far more than a positive feeling that comes and goes. Science is proving that happiness is a skill that we can all develop. On Meditations for Happiness, Dr. Rick Hanson presents a series of guided meditations that allow you to literally rewire the neural pathways in your brain to experience deeper and more lasting contentment and peace. Dr. Hanson discusses the nature of happiness, its role in our evolution, how our brains both make us happy and create suffering, and how we can use and shape our brains over time to experience more joy and be more at ease in everyday life. He then leads us step-by-step through 14 transformative meditations and exercises.

If you mean the tach drive attached to the back of the generator, then yes, the tach drive does change the direction of rotation, so looking at the back of the generator the tach drive output would be turning clockwise.

The Gendered Pulpit
Full Product Description
GENDERING THE PULPIT IS NOT TYPICALLY SOMETHING one can do alone. Rather, there are many people to thank along the way. Foremost, I am grateful for Rev. Dr. David Russell Tullock and the work of Parson's Porch & Company with its publishing services. Your mission is admirable, your work prophetic. I am honored to write with you. Gendering the pulpit also typically occurs within the confines of faith communities. So, I am thankful for four faith communities who have stood with me in this process, allowing me time and space in their pulpits: the Oaks Baptist Church, Parkway Baptist Church, Shell Ridge Community Church, and Wake Forest Baptist Church. It has been an honor to call myself your pastor at various times over the past thirteen years. Then there are those myriad voices we never hear. For those countless women and LGBTQ persons who have lifted your voices in bold proclamations, but who have not had the privilege of an official pulpit, thank you. This book is for you. And for all those women and LGBTQ persons who don't think that preaching could be a part of your future, it is my hope that this book will tell you otherwise. Know that you are beloved, affirmed, worthwhile, and called; do not let anyone tell you differently. Raise you voice. Affirm your body, for it is holy. My dear friends, family, and colleagues are foremost among those I wish to acknowledge. Wendy, Melissa, Ryan, Amy, Richard, Jen, Sharon, Trisha, Patricia, MaryBeth, Jill, Michelle, Diane, Andrea, Ron, Weave, Susan, mom, dad, Carl, Josh, and many others continue to be a support system filled with good humor and prophetic challenge. Thank you. And for Elizabeth, who listens to endless processing, proofreads countless documents, and makes me laugh every day, I am thankful. You make me a better person and gendering the pulpit in the direction of justice would be no fun without you. I remain hopeful for our future Tango and how we will make the world a better place together.

Hi Gordon, Yes that is definitely a problem. The Reader should set "disconnected" flag and the Writer should check it (and the way around). I think that sending the patch to the mailing list wouldn't violate any export regulations. So you are trying to use ssl with library's POST (that means with nonblocking sockets and event loops!). Could you please let me know if it works - I have never tried that. -------------- In my code I actually moved the management of htssl to the Channel since managing htssl (for reader and writer of the same connection) in HTSSL.c practically duplicates the channel management. Reference counting is semaphore decrease-increade in HTChannl.c, when channel is cleared - htssl is also deleted. This will also allow to keep persistent ssl connections which improves performance a lot. With management of htssl structs in HTSSL.c the new htssl is created for each request (I tried to change that but w/o success, so I moved htssl to channel). Also I found out that some of the accesses to streams read-writes do not check the return codes and consequesntly the "broken pipe" errors (when HTSSLReader and HTSSLWriter should return HT_CLOSED) go undetected and unhandled.
