Configure Wildcard-Based Subdomains
Apache's virtual hosting feature makes it easy to host multiple websites or web applications on the same server, each accessible with a different domain name. However, when you have a large number of virtual hosts sharing almost-identical configuration, wildcard-based subdomains simplify maintenance and reduce the effort involved in adding a new virtual host.
With wildcard subdomains, it's no longer necessary to edit the Apache configuration file or restart the server to initialize a new virtual host. Instead, you simply need to create a subdirectory matching the subdomain name on the server with your content, and Apache will automatically use that directory to serve requests for the corresponding subdomain.
Virtual hosts created in this manner will not be accessible from other systems, unless those systems are separately configured to associate the custom domains used by virtual hosts with the IP address of the XAMPP server. |
This guide walks you through the process of setting up wildcard virtual hosts with XAMPP, such that requests for subdomain.localhost are automatically served by the subdomain/ directory of the main server document root. Follow the steps below: . Change to your XAMPP installation directory (typically, C:\xampp) and open the httpd.conf file in the apache\conf\ subdirectory using your favourite text editor. Within the file, find the following line and uncomment it by removing the hash symbol (#) at the beginning of the line.
LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
Next, edit the httpd-vhosts.conf file in the apache\conf\extra\ subdirectory of your XAMPP installation directory.
Replace the contents of this file with the following directives:
UseCanonicalName Off <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/" ServerName localhost </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAlias *.localhost VirtualDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/%1/" </VirtualHost>
In this configuration, the first virtual host block configures how requests are handled by default. The second block configures wildcard virtual hosting for subdomains, such that requests for subdomain.localhost are automatically served by the subdomain\ directory of the C:\xampp\htdocs\ directory. In particular, notice the %1 placeholder, which matches the subdomain name from the request URL.
Restart Apache using the XAMPP control panel for your changes to take effect.
At this point, your wildcard subdomains are configured. You can easily test this by using the Windows Explorer to create two new subdirectories at C:\xampp\htdocs\app01\ and C:\xampp\htdocs\app02\. Within each subdirectory, create a file named index.html and fill it with some sample HTML content. Use different content for each file, so that you can easily distinguish that they're being served from different directories - for example:

Welcome to app01.localhost!

Hello from app02.localhost!

Since these domains do not actually exist in reality, you also need to map them to the local IP address. Open the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in a text editor and add the following line to it:
127.0.0.1 app01.localhost app02.localhost
You will need to do this every time you want to configure a new wildcard virtual host, because the Windows hosts file does not support wildcard entries. To avoid this step, you can use a DNS server or local DNS proxy that supports wildcards and therefore takes care of automatically resolving requests for *.localhost to the local IP address. |
On some versions of Windows, you will not be able to edit the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file without administrator privileges. You can edit the file by right-clicking the Notepad icon and selected the "Run as administrator" menu option, then entering administrator credentials (if required) and clicking "OK" or "Yes" to proceed. |
At this point, you should be able to enter the URLs http://app01.localhost or http://app02.localhost in your browser's address bar, and you should then see the corresponding HTML page.

Corruption scandals in China have long been packaged with sexual indiscretion. For almost every fallen official there are tales of paramours, sometimes too numerous to seem plausible. Liu Zhijun, the former Railway Minister who is awaiting trial on corruption allegations, was reported to have had 18 mistresses. Shanghai Communist Party secretary Chen Liangyu, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2008 for accepting massive bribes, was accused by the party leadership of being a morally decadent philanderer who traded "power for sexual favors." When Bo Xilai, the purged former leader of the southwestern city of Chongqing, was ejected from the Communist Party in September, the allegation that he had "improper relationships" with several women was the least shocking development after months of revelations about corruption, murder and abuse of power.
So when a municipal official in Chongqing was caught up in a sex-and-corruption scandal last week, the only surprise was the order of the revelations — first the sex, then the corruption — and the level of detail. Lei Zhengfu, the Communist Party secretary of Chongqing's Beibei district, was removed from his office on Friday pending an official investigation, but not before he became widely known in China as the balding, bug-eyed, body-built-by-banquets star of a sex tape that circulated widely online last week. The 36-second video is unforgettable in the worst sense of the word. Even casual users of social media in China were subjected to repeated appearances of the naked Lei with a then 18-year-old mistress.
(MORE: Murder, Lies, Abuse of Power and Other Crimes of the Chinese Century)
The tape was released by journalist Zhu Ruifeng, who said the video was shot in 2007, when Lei was deputy party secretary of the Beibei district. The story spread quickly online after another journalist, Ji Xuguang, wrote about it and forwarded images on the Sina Weibo microblog. Zhu, who runs a Hong Kong–based anticorruption website, told the Beijing Times, a Communist Party–owned newspaper, that he received the video from a Chongqing police source. The police source told Zhu the video had been produced under the orders of a property developer who wanted to blackmail Lei. Lei passed on the video to police and asked them to investigate the attempted blackmail. Zhu told the newspaper that Lei's brother Lei Zhengkui had been involved in a series of construction projects in Chongqing districts where Lei Zhengfu was in office, and that Lei Zhengfu had amassed large sums by channeling work to relatives. Zhu told the Communist Party–owned Global Times newspaper that he has five more sex tapes of Chongqing officials, which he will release once identities are confirmed.
The Lei scandal comes as Xi Jinping, who replaced Hu Jintao as China's Communist Party General Secretary earlier this month, has warned about the dangers of graft, telling a meeting of the new Politburo that "corruption could kill the party and ruin the country." In an oblique reference to the Arab Spring, he said corruption in other countries "has led to popular discontent, social unrest and the overthrow of the political power." Publicizing the Lei scandal could help Xi with any new anticorruption drive. It also adds to the case against Bo, who had authority over Lei during his time as the Chongqing party secretary. But further exposure of official corruption will prove difficult. China blocked the English and Chinese websites of the New York Times in October after the paper published an investigation into the wealth accrued by the family of Premier Wen Jiabao. And the website of Bloomberg remains blocked after the news service wrote about hundreds of millions in investments held by the family of Xi himself.

What's Business Card?
Business cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver's name, company or business affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail addresses and website. Before the advent of electronic communication business cards might also include telex details. Now they may include social media addresses such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Traditionally many cards were simple black text on white stock; today a professional business card will sometimes include one or more aspects of striking visual design.
What's EPS File?
Encapsulated Postscript Vector graphics (Adobe Illustrator) EPS is a file extension for a graphics file format used in vector-based images in Adobe Illustrator. EPS stands for Encapsulated PostScript. An EPS file can contain text as well as graphics.

Last week brought life in the legislature face to face with the real world on a couple of different fronts.
We began the week with two funerals, one for Tom Clements, the head of Colorado's corrections system, who was murdered by a recently released inmate, and the second one for David Brophy, the beloved father of our colleague, Sen. Greg Brophy, of Wray.
Each service was a fitting tribute to men who had lived life differently, but very well. Both had touched many in a positive way, lending a helping hand to those around them. It was a sad start to the week, but a privilege to share in those moments with their families and friends and to collectively pause in our busy lives to reflect on their contributions and to honor those who will be missed dearly.
The next couple of days in the Senate were spent reviewing and debating the contents of the Democrats' proposed Colorado budget. While the budget is prepared by a bipartisan committee, the majority party controls the outcome.
This is the seventh budget bill that I have studied and voted on. More often than not, I've voted for the budget bill, but this year, I did not. My vote wasn't based on political rancor or party line adherence, but, as the supporters of the bill stated, a budget reflects priorities and values.
Where I part ways on this year's budget is that I didn't see a budget with a fiscally sound approach to possibly better economic times. I did not see a proposed budget that acknowledged what supporters would admit to on the floor, but not in the budget planning. That is, the federal government is cutting back funding to state programs, yet we're growing them as if the spending faucet is still turned on full force.
Blame or credit whichever side of the aisle in Washington, D.C., but sequestration is taking effect now. While the precise consequences are still to be determined, there's no argument that, in a state like Colorado with a significant federal presence, there'll be those consequences.
At my request, the budget committee staff quickly identified at least $9.2 million of federal cuts hitting Colorado this year. If I hadn't brought an amendment seeking to reduce the budget by this amount, there'd have been no discussion or even acknowledgment that this is happening. My amendment lost and I was disappointed, although not surprised, at how quietly and quickly these expenditures were presumed absorbed into the budget.
The trend of cuts to federal funding of their programs pressed upon the states, without any corresponding relief from federal mandates for these programs, I believe, will accelerate in the coming years and we should apply fiscal discipline in preparing for that. This proposed budget did not do that.
Additionally, Colorado's implementation of the new federal healthcare laws begins in earnest this year and the associated costs will be very large and complex. Promises of costs savings are based on fuzzy math and hopes, not proven numbers.
Yet one more factor leading to my vote was that this budget spends admittedly one time receipts as if they, too, will continue to flow indefinitely from the taxpayers' faucet. Water is not the only shortage Colorado faces in the coming years and we should budget accordingly.

open - perl pragma to set default PerlIO layers for input and output
use open IN => ":crlf", OUT => ":bytes";
use open OUT => ':utf8';
use open IO => ":encoding(iso-8859-7)";
use open IO => ':locale';
use open ':utf8';
use open ':locale';
use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
use open ':std';
Full-fledged support for I/O layers is now implemented provided Perl is configured to use PerlIO as its IO system (which is now the default).
The open
pragma serves as one of the interfaces to declare default "layers" (also known as "disciplines") for all I/O. Any open(), readpipe() (aka qx//) and similar operators found within the lexical scope of this pragma will use the declared defaults.
With the IN
subpragma you can declare the default layers of input streams, and with the OUT
subpragma you can declare the default layers of output streams. With the IO
subpragma you can control both input and output streams simultaneously.
If you have a legacy encoding, you can use the :encoding(...)
if you want to set your encoding layers based on your locale environment variables, you can use the :locale
tag. For example:
$ENV{LANG} = 'ru_RU.KOI8-R';
# the :locale will probe the locale environment variables like LANG
use open OUT => ':locale';
open(O, ">koi8");
print O chr(0x430); # Unicode CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A = KOI8-R 0xc1
close O;
open(I, "<koi8");
printf "%#x\n", ord(<I>), "\n"; # this should print 0xc1
close I;
These are equivalent
use open ':utf8';
use open IO => ':utf8';
as are these
use open ':locale';
use open IO => ':locale';
and these
use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
use open IO => ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
The matching of encoding names is loose: case does not matter, and many encodings have several aliases. See Encode::Supported for details and the list of supported locales.
Note that :utf8
PerlIO layer must always be specified exactly like that, it is not subject to the loose matching of encoding names.
When open() is given an explicit list of layers they are appended to the list declared using this pragma.
The :std
subpragma on its own has no effect, but if combined with the :utf8
or :encoding
subpragmas, it converts the standard filehandles (STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR) to comply with encoding selected for input/output handles. For example, if both input and out are chosen to be :utf8
, a :std
will mean that STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR are also in :utf8
. On the other hand, if only output is chosen to be in :encoding(koi8r)
, a :std
will cause only the STDOUT and STDERR to be in koi8r
. The :locale
subpragma implicitly turns on :std
The logic of :locale
is as follows:
If the platform supports the langinfo(CODESET) interface, the codeset returned is used as the default encoding for the open pragma.
If 1. didn't work but we are under the locale pragma, the environment variables LC_ALL and LANG (in that order) are matched for encodings (the part after .
, if any), and if any found, that is used as the default encoding for the open pragma.
If 1. and 2. didn't work, the environment variables LC_ALL and LANG (in that order) are matched for anything looking like UTF-8, and if any found, :utf8
is used as the default encoding for the open pragma.
If your locale environment variables (LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG) contain the strings 'UTF-8' or 'UTF8' (case-insensitive matching), the default encoding of your STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR, and of any subsequent file open, is UTF-8.
Directory handles may also support PerlIO layers in the future.
If Perl is not built to use PerlIO as its IO system then only the two pseudo-layers :bytes
and :crlf
are available.
The :bytes
layer corresponds to "binary mode" and the :crlf
layer corresponds to "text mode" on platforms that distinguish between the two modes when opening files (which is many DOS-like platforms, including Windows). These two layers are no-ops on platforms where binmode() is a no-op, but perform their functions everywhere if PerlIO is enabled.
There is a class method in PerlIO::Layer
which is implemented as XS code. It is called by import
to validate the layers:
The return value (if defined) is a Perl object, of class PerlIO::Layer
which is created by the C code in perlio.c. As yet there is nothing useful you can do with the object at the perl level.
"binmode" in perlfunc, "open" in perlfunc, perlunicode, PerlIO, encoding

The frenum is a naturally occurring muscle attachment, normally seen between the front teeth. It connects the inner aspect of the lip with the gum. A lack of attached gingiva, in conjunction with a high frenum attachment, which exaggerates the pull on the gum margin, can result in recession. Additionally, an excessively large frenum can prevent the teeth from coming together resulting in a gap between the front teeth. If pulling is seen or the frenum is too large to allow the teeth to come together, the frenum is surgically released from the gum with a frenectomy. A frenectomy is simply the surgical removal of a frenum.
When Orthodontic treatment is planned or initiated, the removal of an abnormal frenum, with or without a gingival graft, can increase stability and improve success of the final orthodontic result.

We had our home on the market with Real Places and after only 3 viewings the house was SOLD!! And we got the price we wanted. When selling a house it comes down to the owner being given a realistic valuation, and ensuring the agent you choose knows their stuff. My advice to anyone considering selling your home is that they must feel comfortable with their agent choice. My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending Real Homes to anyone in the future who is trying to decide between agents.
We have been extremely pleased with your attentiveness, communication, honesty and advice throughout the entire process. Selling a house is a stressful occurrence for anyone and you have helped to make it as smooth as possible for us. We feel that you truly go beyond the general duties of a real estate agent with thorough follow ups, reporting and always being 'on top' of potential buyers.
In a very difficult market, it took a lot of patience and persistence on your part, we very much appreciate all that you have done for us. You were always there and followed up on every detail and any queries we had during the process you were always helpful, professional and handled the situation with a smile.

Israel strike kills 11 in Gaza, including children
IBRAHIM BARZAK and JOSEF FEDERMAN
Associated Press
| Monday, November 19, 2012, 10:05 a.m.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — An Israeli missile ripped through a two-story home in a residential area of Gaza City on Sunday, killing at least 11 civilians, including four young children and an 81-year-old woman, in the single deadliest attack of Israel's offensive against Islamic militants.
The bloodshed was likely to raise pressure on Israel to end the fighting, even as it pledged to intensify the offensive by striking the homes of wanted militants. High numbers of civilian casualties in an offensive four years ago led to fierce criticism and condemnation of Israel.
In all, 73 Palestinians, including 37 civilians, have been killed in the five-day onslaught. Three Israeli civilians have also died from Palestinian rocket fire.
President Barack Obama said he was in touch with players across the region in hopes of halting the fighting, while also warning of the risks of Israel expanding its air assault into a ground war.
"We're going to have to see what kind of progress we can make in the next 24, 36, 48 hours," Obama said during a visit in Thailand.
On the ground, there were no signs of any letup in the fighting as Israel announced it was widening the offensive to target the military commanders of the ruling Hamas group.
The Israeli military carried out dozens of airstrikes throughout the day, and naval forces bombarded targets along Gaza's Mediterranean coast. Many of the attacks focused on homes where militant leaders or weapons were believed to be hidden.
Palestinian militants continued to barrage Israel with rockets, firing more than 100 on Sunday, and setting off air raid sirens across the southern part of the country. Some 40 rockets were intercepted by Israel's U.S.-financed "Iron Dome" rocket-defense system, including two that targeted the metropolis of Tel Aviv. At least 10 Israelis were wounded by shrapnel.
Israel's decision to step up its attacks in Gaza marked a new and risky phase of the operation, given the likelihood of civilian casualties in the densely populated territory of 1.6 million Palestinians. Israel launched the offensive Wednesday in what it said was an effort to end months of intensifying rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
In the day's deadliest violence, the Israeli navy fired at a home where it said a top wanted militant was hiding. The missile struck the home of the Daloo family in Gaza City, reducing the structure to rubble.
Frantic rescuers, bolstered by bulldozers, pulled the limp bodies of children from the ruins of the house, including a toddler and a 5-year-old, as survivors and bystanders screamed in grief. Later, the bodies of the children were laid out in the morgue of Gaza City's Shifa Hospital.
Among the 11 dead were four small children and five women, including an 81-year-old, Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said.
More than a dozen homes of Hamas commanders or families linked to Hamas were struck on Sunday. Though most were empty — their inhabitants having fled to shelter — at least three had families in them. Al-Kidra said 20 of 27 people killed Sunday were civilians, mostly women and children.
Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said that "the Israeli people will pay the price" for the killing of civilians.
Israel sought to place the blame on militants, saying they were intentionally operating in places inhabited by civilians. The military has released videos and images of what it says are militants firing rockets from mosques, schools and public buildings.
"Hamas is using the Gaza population as human shields," said Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the chief Israeli spokesman. "They are exploiting crowded residential urban areas."
He acknowledged, however, that it was not clear whether the militant targeted in Sunday's attack was killed, despite earlier claims of success. "I still don't know what became of him," Mordechai told Channel 10 TV.
The prospect of mounting civilian casualties could quickly change the momentum of Israel's operation. Israel launched the offensive on Wednesday with a lightning airstrike that killed Hamas' military chief. Since then, it has carried out a blistering campaign of more than 1,200 airstrikes, targeting suspected rocket storage and launching sites.
Israel also struck two high-rise buildings housing media outlets, damaging the top-floor offices of the Hamas TV station, Al Aqsa, and a Lebanese-based broadcaster, Al Quds TV, seen as sympathetic to the Islamists. Six Palestinian journalists were wounded, including one who lost a leg, the Gaza press association said.
Foreign broadcasters, including British, German and Italian TV outlets, also had offices in the buildings.
Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, said the strikes targeted Hamas communications equipment on the rooftops. She accused the group of using journalists for cover.
Israeli officials expressed readiness to take the offensive even further with a ground invasion of Gaza. Israel has mobilized thousands of forces and columns of armored vehicles along the border ahead of a possible incursion.
"The Israeli military is prepared to significantly expand the operation," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting.
The threats come at an important crossroads — with a fateful choice between further escalation or agreeing to a cease-fire with Hamas. Israel and the West consider Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007, to be a terrorist group.
Obama and British Foreign Secretary William Hague cautioned against a potential Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.
Obama blamed Palestinian militants for starting the round of fighting by raining rockets onto Israel and said the U.S. supported Israel's right to protect itself. "Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired into its territory," Obama said.
Hague also said Hamas "bears principal responsibility" for initiating the violence, but made clear the diplomatic risks of an Israeli escalation. "A ground invasion is much more difficult for the international community to sympathize with or support," he said.
A ground operation would carry grave risks, given the likelihood of heavy casualties on both sides. The Israeli offensive into Gaza four years ago left hundreds of civilians dead, drawing fierce international condemnation and war crimes accusations.
Israel says its intelligence and technology have been perfected since then to minimize civilian casualties. But Gaza's crowded urban landscape makes it all but impossible to avoid them altogether, as Sunday's attack in Gaza City illustrated.
"In this case, you can't avoid collateral damage if they position the rockets in densely populated areas, in mosques, school yards," said Israeli Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon. "We shouldn't be blamed for the outcome."
Avihai Mandelblit, a recently retired chief advocate general in the Israeli military, said that from a legal perspective, "there's no immunity to anyone if you put weapons inside of civilian infrastructure."
But he acknowledged the sight of dead civilians could create a public relations debacle for Israel. "As more civilians will get hurt, the legitimacy clock is going to click faster to end this operation," he said.
Obama said he had been in touch with Netanyahu as well as the leaders of Egypt and Turkey as international attempts to broker a cease-fire continued. Egypt, which often serves as a mediator between Israel and Hamas, has taken a leading role in the efforts.
Israeli TV stations said an Israeli envoy traveled to Cairo on Sunday, and was returning to Israel with details of cease-fire proposals. Channel 2 TV, citing American diplomats, said Netanyahu's personal envoy, Yitzhak Molcho, would be headed to Washington in the coming days.
Hamas officials said their supreme leader, Khaled Meshaal, also held talks with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, and that Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was to visit Gaza on Tuesday.
Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers remain far apart on any terms for a halt to the bloodshed.
Hamas is linking a truce deal to a complete lifting of the border blockade on Gaza imposed since Islamists seized the territory by force. Hamas also seeks Israeli guarantees to halt targeted killings of its leaders and military commanders. Israeli officials reject such demands.
They say they are not interested in a "time-out," and want firm guarantees that militant rocket fire into Israel will end. Past cease-fires have been short lived.

In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links CleansetheBowels.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What are affiliate links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on .com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from CleansetheBowels.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay CleansetheBowels.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
I use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
CleansetheBowels.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links. Each of your purchases via our Amazon affiliation links supports our cause at no additional cost to you.
If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their "shopping cart" through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not "pay per click." If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product affiliate links.
These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the product, then the blogger gets a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not "pay per click", unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.

Orange Glazed Banana Nut Bread
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I love it when voyages of discovery in the kitchen lead me to something that is new, different and delicious. With the little ones here, I've had to deal with an amazing number of bananas at various stages of brown and nasty decay. As you've probably guessed, I've made an assortment of muffins, cakes and bread to prevent them from becoming fodder for the compost pile. Now, I'll grant you that there is nothing new about banana bread, but the orange and nut glaze that tops this one takes it out of the "same ole, same ole" category and puts it in a league of its very own. This simple confection, actually more like a cake than a bread, takes all of 15 minutes to prepare, and I promise those of you who try the recipe will consider it time well spent. The glaze, which would work well with pound cake or other plain quick breads, is a stunner, pure and simple. Not only did it have my socks going up and down, my kitchen assistant, a certain four year old who will leave here with my heart in his hands, had those hands full with a fat slice of the cake he got to glaze when he gave the ultimate review. "Deeelicious". I also got a kiss. Now I don't often get kisses for my banana bread and I must say it was a lovely reward. I suggest you give this one a try. Here's the recipe.
Orange Glazed Banana Nut Bread...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Beverly Sprague
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 package (8-oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1) Grease two 8-in.x 4-in. loaf pans. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper; grease paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2) Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas and vanilla.
3) Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another bowl; gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in reserved 1 cup pecans.
4) Scrape batter into prepared pans. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
5) In a small bowl, whisk glaze ingredients; drizzle over loaves. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).

Ireke, I'm glad you enjoyed the cake. If you make it again, continue to experiment with the amount of sugar you use.You can cut back at least 1/2 cup without affecting the cake's chemistry. After that, you have to proceed with caution. Have a great evening. Blessings...Mary

The Utility of Sector Investing
There is a growing popularity among individuals to broaden their investment strategy beyond conventional allocations and investment styles. Some see sector investing as a way to seek new opportunities for enhanced portfolio performance.1,2
Sectors are made up of companies grouped by similar businesses that range from natural resources to financial services and from technology to consumer staples. In any given year, one sector may outperform another. For example, in 2014, healthcare rose 27%, while energy fell -11%. 3
Successful sector investing depends on an individual's ability to consistently and accurately determine when to rotate in and out of the various sectors, which may be a challenge for most investors.
Investors are further cautioned that some sector mutual funds are capitalization weighted, meaning that they can be very concentrated in a few stocks, so you need to do your homework.4
Remember that mutual funds are sold by prospectus. Please consider the charges, risks, expenses, and investment objectives carefully before investing. A prospectus containing this and other information about the investment company can be obtained from your financial professional. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.
Sector Investing Strategies
There are a number of ways to implement sector investing, depending upon your objective.
Portfolio Carve-Out: This approach dedicates a portion of your portfolio to seek opportunities in a specific sector. For example, if you think a rebounding economy may increase consumer spending, potentially a Consumer Discretionary sector would be a consideration.
Risk Management: Because the correlations between different sectors can be lower than those between general categories (e.g., value vs. growth or large vs. small cap), investors may be able to build a portfolio of sectors that potentially may reduce overall investment risk.
Portfolio Completion: This strategy targets sectors that may be underrepresented in a current portfolio. For instance, if precious metals or real estate exposure is lacking, you can use sector investment to gain that exposure.
Successful sector investing may be a challenge for most investors, but it could present an opportunity for those who do their homework.
- Because of its narrow focus, a sector investing strategy tends to be more volatile than an investment strategy that is diversified across many sectors and companies. Sector investing also is subject to the additional risks that are associated with its particular industry. Sector investing can be adversely affected by political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
- Asset allocation is an approach to help manage investment risk. Asset allocation does not guarantee against investment loss.
- MarketWatch, December 19, 2014
- The return and principal value of stock prices will fluctuate as market conditions change. And shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
This theme is concerned with who was able to find work, and the consequences
for those who could not.
The census is not the ideal source to study these questions, because it is
taken only every ten years, and we plan to add additional information from other
sources such as the records of National Insurance and the Poor Law system, and
their modern equivalents, Job Seekers Allowance and Income Support.
For now, our only non-census data here comes from the trade union-run welfare system
that laid the foundations for the National Insurance system before the 1914-18 war.
One strength of census data on unemployment is that it is relatively little affected
by the changing rules of benefit systems, although we do add numbers on government
training schemes to our figures for 1991.
For most of the twentieth century, the unemployment rate among women was of limited value.
Many women were not involved in paid work, and even those with jobs had problems claiming
benefits when they lost them.
We therefore concentrate instead on the "activity rate", which measures what proportion
of women were economically active, either in work or looking for it.
We hold these detailed statistics for Redditch, which we graph and tabulate here:
Available datasets | Period covered | Variables (number of categories) |
Census Unemployment by Sex | 1931 to 2011 |
(2) Census Unemployment (3) |
Economically Active by Sex | 1931 to 2011 |
(2) Economically Active (2) |

Professional Fees & Dues:
Dues paid to professional societies related to your profession are deductible. These could include professional organizations, business leagues, trade associations, chambers of commerce, boards of trade and civic organizations. However, dues paid for memberships in clubs organized for business, pleasure, recreation or other social purpose are not deductible. These could include country clubs, golf and athletic clubs, airline clubs, hotel clubs and luncheon clubs.
Uniforms & Upkeep Expenses:
Generally, the costs of your uniforms are fully deductible if they aren't provided to you without charge by your employer. IRS rules specify that work clothing costs and the cost of its maintenance are deductible if: (1) the uniforms are required by your employer (if you're an employee); and (2) the clothes are not adaptable to ordinary street wear. Normally, the employer's emblem attached to the clothing indicates it is not for street wear. The cost of protective clothing (e.g., safety shoes or goggles) is also deductible.
Auto Travel:
Your auto expense is based on the number of qualified business miles you drive Expenses for travel between business locations or daily transportation expenses between your residence and temporary work locations are deductible; include them as business miles. Expenses for your trips between home and work each day, or between home and one or more regular places of work, are COMMUTING expenses and are NOT deductible.
Document business miles in a record book as follows: (1) give the date and business purpose of each trip; (2) note the place to which you traveled; (3) record the number of business miles; and (4) record your car's odometer reading at both the beginning and end of the tax year. Keep receipts for all car operating expenses – gas, oil, repairs, insurance, etc. – and of any reimbursement you received for your expenses.
Expenses incurred when traveling away from "home" overnight on job-related and continuing-education trips that were not reimbursed or reimbursable by your employer are deductible. Your "home" is generally considered to be the entire city or general area where your principal place of employment is located. Out-of-town expenses include transportation, meals, lodging, tips and miscellaneous items like laundry, valet, etc.
Document away-from-home expenses by noting the date, destination and business purpose of your trip. Record business miles if you drove to the out-of-town location. In addition, keep a detailed record of your expenses – lodging, public transportation, meals, etc. Always list meals and lodging separately in your records. Receipts must be retained for each lodging expense. However, if any other business expense is less than $75, a receipt is not necessary if you record all of the information timely in a diary. You must keep track of the full amount of meal and entertainment expenses even though only a portion of the amount may be deductible.
Equipment & Repairs:
Generally, to be deductible, items must be ordinary and necessary to your job as a peace officer and not reimbursable by your employer. Record separately items having a useful life of more than one year. Normally, the cost of such assets are recovered differently on your tax return than are other recurring, everyday business expenses such as flashlights, batteries and other supplies.
Telephone Expenses:
The basic local telephone service costs of the first telephone line provided in your residence are not deductible. However, toll calls from that line are deductible if the calls are business-related. The costs (basic fee and toll calls) of a second line in your home are also deductible if the line is used exclusively for business.
When communication equipment, such as a cell phone, is used part for business and part personally the cost of the equipment must be allocated to deductible business use and non-deductible personal use. Keep your bills for cellular phone use and mark all business calls.
Continuing Education:
Educational expenses are deductible under either of two conditions: (1) your employer requires the education in order for you to keep your job or rate of pay; or (2) the education maintains or improves your skills as a peace officer. Costs of courses that are taken to meet the minimum requirements of a job, or that qualify you for a new trade or business, are NOT deductible.
Miscellaneous Expenses:
Generally, meals consumed during hours of duty by peace officers are nondeductible. Expenses of looking for new employment in your present line of work are deductible – you do not have to actually obtain a new job in order to deduct the expenses. Out-oftown job-seeking expenses are deductible only if the primary purpose of the trip is job seeking, not pursuing personal activities.

QUINCY, Mass. – A commuter heading into Boston had a real dummy along for the ride.
State Trooper John Carnell was working a paid detail in Quincy on Thursday morning when he saw a vehicle enter the carpool lane on Interstate 93 north with a suspicious-looking passenger.
Carnell pulled over the vehicle and found that indeed, the driver had propped up a jacket with a mannequin head on top in the passenger seat. The fake head even had a little mustache drawn on.
Vehicles using the lane must have at least two occupants.
The driver, whose name was not made public, has been issued a citation for operating on an excluded way.

Debts and the Poor. 1At the end of every seven-year period* you shall have a remission of debts,a 2and this is the manner of the remission. Creditors shall remit all claims on loans made to a neighbor, not pressing the neighbor, one who is kin, because the LORD's remission has been proclaimed. 3You may press a foreigner, but you shall remit the claim on what your kin owes to you.b 4c However, since the LORD, your God, will bless you abundantly in the land the LORD, your God, will give you to possess as a heritage, there shall be no one of you in need 5if you but listen to the voice of the LORD, your God, and carefully observe this entire commandment which I enjoin on you today. 6Since the LORD, your God, will bless you as he promised, you will lend to many nations, and borrow from none;d you will rule over many nations, and none will rule over you.
7e If one of your kindred is in need in any community in the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor close your hand against your kin who is in need. 8Instead, you shall freely open your hand and generously lend what suffices to meet that need.f 9Be careful not to entertain the mean thought, "The seventh year, the year of remission, is near," so that you would begrudge your kin who is in need and give nothing, and your kin would cry to the LORD against you and you would be held guilty.g 10When you give, give generously and not with a stingy heart; for that, the LORD, your God, will bless you in all your works and undertakings. 11The land will never lack for needy persons; that is why I command you: "Open your hand freely to your poor and to your needy kin in your land."h
Hebrew Slaves. 12i If your kin, a Hebrew man or woman, sells himself or herself to you, he or she is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year you shall release him or her as a free person. 13j When you release a male from your service, as a free person, you shall not send him away empty-handed, 14but shall weigh him down with gifts from your flock and threshing floor and wine press; as the LORD, your God, has blessed you, so you shall give to him. 15For remember that you too were slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD, your God, redeemed you. That is why I am giving you this command today.k 16l But if he says to you, "I do not wish to leave you," because he loves you and your household, since he is well off with you, 17you shall take an awl and put it through his ear* into the door, and he shall be your slave forever. Your female slave, also, you shall treat in the same way. 18Do not be reluctant when you let them go free, since the service they have given you for six years was worth twice a hired laborer's salary; and the LORD, your God, will bless you in everything you do.
Firstlings. 19m You shall consecrate to the LORD, your God, every male firstling born in your herd and in your flock. You shall not work the firstlings of your cattle, nor shear the firstlings of your flock. 20In the presence of the LORD, your God, you shall eat them year after year, you and your household, in the place that the LORD will choose.n 21o But if a firstling has any defect, lameness or blindness, any such serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD, your God, 22but in your own communities you may eat it, the unclean and the clean eating it together, as you would a gazelle or a deer. 23Only, you must not eat of its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
* [15:1] At the end of every seven-year period: in every seventh, or sabbatical, year. Cf. 15:9; 31:10; and compare Jer 34:14 with Dt 15:12. A remission of debts: it is debated whether a full cancellation of debts is meant, or merely a suspension of payment on them or on their interest, but the former is more likely. Cf. Ex 23:11 where the same Hebrew root is used of a field that is "let lie fallow" in the sabbatical year.
* [15:17] His ear: cf. Ex 21:6 and note there.
a. [15:1] Dt 31:10; Lv 25:1–55; Neh 10:31.
c. [15:4–6] Dt 7:12–14; 28:1–14.
f. [15:8] Dt 24:19; Lv 25:35; Ps 37:21–22; Prv 19:17; Sir 29:1–2; Mt 5:42.
g. [15:9] Dt 24:15; Ex 22:23–24, 27.
i. [15:12–18] Ex 21:2–11; Jer 34:8–22.
j. [15:13–15] Ex 3:21–22; 12:35–36.

n. [15:20] Dt 12:6–7, 17–18; 14:23.

It's not something you want to think about, but most of us will need long-term care at some point in our lives. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), once a person reaches age 65, they have almost a 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services in their remaining years.1
The need for care may develop suddenly after a major health event like a heart attack, stroke or injuries from a car accident. Or it could develop gradually as you age. Either way, planning ahead with a long-term care policy from ERIE FAMILY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY can help protect you and your family from the high costs of long-term care.
Wondering whether long-term care insurance is right for you? Here are answers to some of the most common questions about long-term care insurance.
What is Long-Term Care?
The phrase long-term care is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of services that are necessary to meet someone's health or personal care needs over an extended period of time.
These services could be medical, such as care provided through home health care or a nursing home. But long-term care services can also assist people with normal daily activities, such as dressing, bathing and using the bathroom. It can even include community services such as meals, adult day care and transportation services.
What is Long-Term Care Insurance?
Assistance with either medical or personal care needs comes with a cost. According to HHS data, the average home health aide costs about $20 an hour and a private room in a nursing home runs an average of $7,968 each month.2
Long-term care insurance is designed to help you cover costs such as these. It makes money available to pay for the personal care you need, including assisted living, home health care or a long-term care facility.
Does Medicare Cover Long-Term Care?
Medicare is designed to cover medically necessary care for people age 65 and older, such as hospital stays and doctor visits. But aside from short nursing home stays following a hospitalization or services specifically prescribed by a doctor, most long-term care is considered "custodial care." That means it won't be covered by Medicare or private health insurance – potentially leaving you 100% responsible for the bill. Medicaid may provide limited long-term care resources, but only after all your personal assets have been depleted.
How Much is Long-Term Care Insurance?
There are several types of long-term care insurance available on the market. You can buy a standalone long-term care insurance policy, but this coverage can be expensive and require substantial underwriting.
At Erie Family Life Insurance Company, we offer what's called a long-term care accelerated death benefit (LTC) rider3 as an optional add-on to qualifying Whole Life insurance policies. This rider allows your life insurance to provide financial support if you need hands-on daily care from a nurse or a health aide for long periods of time.
In many ways, this coverage offers the best of both worlds: financial security for your family if you pass away, and protection from the high costs of long-term care if you need it. When you add a LTC rider to a Whole Life policy, you'll have the convenience of working with one company and paying one premium. Both our Whole Life and Long-Term Care premiums are guaranteed and will not increase. And because it's an add-on to your life insurance, this valuable coverage may cost less than you think.
How Does Long-Term Care Insurance Work?
At Erie Family Life, our long-term care rider keeps you in the driver's seat by providing flexible access to a portion of your policy's death benefit when you need it.
Here's how it works:
- A licensed health professional certifies your eligibility for long-term care benefits under the policy.
- You choose a monthly distribution of 2, 4 or 8 percent of the policy death benefit (must be at least $1,000).
- Erie Family Life sends a check each month to use as you see fit.
You can collect monthly payments as long as you meet the eligibility criteria as laid out in your policy.4
What Are the Eligibility Requirements for Long-Term Care Insurance?
Under our long-term care rider, your benefits are triggered when a licensed health professional5 certifies that you are unable to complete at least two activities of daily living independently, such as bathing, dressing, eating, using the bathroom or moving in or out of a bed.6
What Does Long-Term Care Insurance Cover?
With a long-term care rider from Erie Family Life, you'll have the flexibility to use your money for what you need, as long as you continue to meet the eligibility criteria outlined in your policy. You can use your benefit to pay for anything from home health care and meal deliveries to an assisted living, adult day care or skilled nursing facility. We'll send your check each month without strings attached – no expenses to qualify or receipts to submit.
Are Long-Term Care Benefits Taxable?
Generally, any payments made from your long-term care insurance policy will not be taxed as income. But because tax laws vary from state to state, you should consult a tax attorney or accountant to make sure.7
Is Long-Term Care Insurance Worth it?
Like any type of insurance, determining whether long-term care insurance is "worth it" will depend on your personal financial situation. We've already established that 70% of older adults will need some type of long-term care during their lifetime1 – and that out-of-pocket expenses may vary depending on if you have a long-term care plan and what it covers.8 So unless you've built up a significant net worth and can comfortably afford to finance your own long-term care, you'll likely find long-term care insurance to be well worth the investment.
Protection That's There When You Need it
Life insurance is about making sure your family is taken care of when you're gone. But Erie Family Life's long-term care rider can take care of you while you're here, too. Call your local ERIE agent today to get a no-obligation quote, and learn how planning now can help protect your family from the high costs of long-term care later.

Looking for Saatva Tuck?
When one wants to have the best mattress, there are many options available in the market today. In order to choose the best one, it is necessary to understand the advantages of the various mattress types and their specific uses. Choosing the right type of mattress is important for the comfort and health of the consumer. As a result, there are three main types of mattresses that are discussed in this article:
The Saatva mattresses are manufactured by the Saatva organization, manufacturer of these mattresses including the Loom, Leaf and Zenhaven. The Saatva mattress is basically an innerspring bed which comes with three firmness (plush, luxury and firm). This mattress is highly recommended by most doctors, as it offers good support to the body while sleeping. The other advantages of choosing the Saatva innerspring mattresses include:
o A quality mattress of the Saatva firmness is much more expensive than the other two types of mattresses. However, it offers a good deal of comfort and support to the consumers. Because of its higher firmness level, the Hybrid innerspring mattresses of the Saatva are recommended by doctors.
o If you want a very comfortable sleeping position, there is no better choice than the Sauna mattress. This is produced by the Memory Foam Company, a major player in the production of lumbar bed mattresses. The Sauna mattress is especially designed for supporting the lower back portion of the body and relieving lower back pain and stiff limbs. Because of the advanced technology, the company produces the Sauna innerspring bed in a longer lasting and softer material. Online mattresses from this company are available at affordable prices, making them a good choice for your home.
o Saturation or heat setting is another important factor when looking for a good sleeping arrangement. When you lie on the topmost layer of Sauna, you will experience a higher level of comfort due to its unique shape and design. Moreover, it offers high levels of support as well as pressure relief. The topmost layer of the mattress contains memory foam. Therefore, if you want a mattress that offers a good amount of support as well as pressure relief, then the Memory Foam Mattress from Sauna may be a good choice for you.
o Firmness and support coils are also factors to consider when buying a mattress. The maximum thickness of the mattress coils is six inches. Moreover, there are also two versions of the product, which are built differently. The "U" model, which are built with two support coils underneath the box spring, and the "SB" model, which contain only one coil. The SB model is known to offer more support than the "U" model. Therefore, if you want to buy a mattress with more support, the Sauna mattress from Sauna might be a good option. Saatva Tuck

The typical overall power savings of the OSPW System for Shimano 9000/6800 is 30%-60% over a stock setup, and the oversized pulley wheels have a lifespan that is 3-5 times longer than the commonly used standard pulleys on the market.
In The Box:
- A complete 17-tooth OSPW System
- CeramicSpeed bearing oil in 15ml dropper bottle
