Mikhail Sholokhov is most famous for his epic four-volume novel And Quiet Flows the Don (1928-1932) about Don Cossacks during the World War I and the subsequent Civil War. A must-read of classic Russian literature, its author has sparked mystery, controversy and praise in equal measure.
1) The famous Cossack author was not a Cossack
Sholokhov spent his childhood on a Cossack khutor – a single homestead or a small collection of homesteads – but it is not known exactly where he was born.
Although Sholokhov wrote so vividly and extensively about Cossacks, he was not actually a Cossack. His father was a middle-class manager of a steam mill, while his mother was a peasant who had been a servant before her marriage. Sholokhov was born as an illegitimate child, since his mother had been forced to marry the other man rather than his father. It was only after the writer's stepfather died that his parents could finally get married.
2) Sartre gave him a helping hand
In 1964, French writer and philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre rejected the Nobel Prize for Literature, writing a statement expressing regret that the previous prize had not been awarded to Sholokhov, and that "the only Soviet work that received the prize was a book published abroad and banned in its own country" (meaning Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958)
It is believed that this statement influenced the Nobel Committee, and the prize was awarded to Sholokhov the following year "for the artistic power and integrity with which, in his epic of the Don, he has given expression to a historic phase in the life of the Russian people."
3) Film adaptations of the novel And Quiet Flows the Don
The novel was adapted for the screen three times in Russia during the 20th century (1930, 1958, 1992). The 1958 screen version made by renowned director Sergei Gerasimov has received numerous international awards.
The equally famous Sergei Bondarchuk, who had already won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his screen version of War and Peace, directed the third version.
This film was co-produced by the USSR, UK and Italy. The Italian producer filed for bankruptcy, and an Italian bank seized the almost completed film as part of the debt proceedings.
Bondarchuk died without seeing the film on screen; his son, Fyodor Bondarchuk, later produced an abridged version for TV.
4) A mysterious release from prison
Sholokhov worked from the age of 15 in various professions, including as a porter and a schoolteacher. In 1922, while working as a village tax inspector, he was arrested for taking a bribe and sentenced to death by firing squad at a tribunal.
His father paid the hefty bail and produced a new certificate to the court stating that Sholokhov was 15 rather than 17. The death sentence was commuted to a year in a penal colony for minors. Sholokhov was being transported to the colony under escort, but he never arrived and did not serve any time. It is unclear exactly what happened during that journey.
5) Allegations of plagiarism
Some critics challenged Sholokhov's authorship of And Quiet Flows the Don, alleging that he had taken credit for the work of a White officer who had been shot by the Bolsheviks. These doubts were also fuelled by the view that such a profound, lengthy, subtle work could not have been written by a barely educated 21-year-old.
Sholokhov's supporters responded by pointing to young geniuses like Johann Goethe, Thomas Mann and John Keats, as well as the poorly educated Maxim Gorky and Ivan Bunin (also a Nobel laureate).
The issue was finally resolved in 1984, when the Slavicist Geir Kjetsaa and his colleagues conducted extensive linguistic tests on the work that supported Sholokhov's authorship.

Mail: | La Cantina Doors, Inc. (Attention: Customer Service) 1875 Ord Way, Oceanside, CA 92056 |
Phone: | (888) 221 0141 | |
Fax: | (760) 734 1591 | |
Email: | email@example.com |
We can best respond if you provide the following: a) LaCantina order number b) date and location of purchase, c) how to contact you, d) the address of where the product can be inspected, and e) a description of the problem and the product (including photographs). All visible defects must be reported before installation and finishing. Claims under these warranties must be made within the specified warranty period and within sixty (60) days of the appearance of a defect. We may charge a fee for on-site product inspections.

Our products must be stored, installed, maintained, repaired, and used in accordance with acceptable good trade practice and our supplied instructions in order to prevent damage and maintain your warranty.
LaCantina Doors are a specialty product that you cannot assume to be a standard installation of a typical door or window. We are not liable for any defects or problems related to installation. LaCantina folding door systems are top hung and improper sizing of the header and movement and sagging of the header will affect product performance. It is important that the system is properly adjusted for smooth operation. Our products should be installed with adequate overhang and to prevent the effects of sheeting water from above. It is not our responsibility to design or recommend a flashing system appropriate for each job condition. We offer products that are designed to be weather resistant in exterior applications when installed and adjusted properly, however, because of certain conditions and applications over which we have no control, including but not limited to frame assembly and field adjustment, we do not warrant that our products are impervious to water or water intrusion and air infiltration. We recommend that a professional waterproofing consultant be used to properly integrate our product into the weather barrier of the wall structure.
Wood items are supplied unfinished. Product should be protected from moisture and excessive dryness and wood items must be finished within seven (7) days after jobsite delivery. Wood surfaces should be totally free of dust, dirt, grease, or any surface contamination. Ensure that all surfaces, interior and exterior, top and bottom, are thoroughly painted, varnished or sealed by acceptable industry finishing standards. Only use high quality sealants and finish materials for longer lasting performance against the elements, particularly from sun exposure. Do not paint or stain weather-strip, hardware, aluminum surfaces or glass and prevent finish materials from leaking behind the glazing bead. The solvents used in wood finishing may be incompatible with insulated glass unit sealants. Remove all weather-strip and do not lose pieces. Handle, escutcheon plates and drop bolts should be removed and paint or sealant applied behind. Stucco or concrete left on frame, doors and glass will damage these surfaces.
OPERATION OF LaCANTINA FOLDING AND SLIDING SYSTEMS
LaCantina Doors' folding and sliding systems are specialty products which are required to be used in a particular manner. Children under the age of sixteen (16) should not use systems without an adult being present. LaCantina Door systems should be operated as recommended by us. Failure to do so can cause injury. Improper function of our door systems can lead to injury by way of fingers being caught and pinched between folding and sliding panels. .
Certifications, ratings and performance typically apply to individual products and will vary and change over time depending on the conditions of use.
Normal and regular maintenance is required to maintain the appearance and extend the finish life and maintain proper operation. The following maintenance procedures are recommended.
Tracks and Bearings - Remove surface contaminants by wiping visible track surfaces with a damp soft cloth and a mild detergent, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Using a suitable applicator spread a small amount of clear petroleum jelly or similar lubricant. Ensure that the carrier wheels pass through the lubricant so that it is distributed evenly along the track. Place additional lubricant around the bearings. In severe environments, apply a thin film of WD40. Always keep bottom guide channel free from debris.
Hangers, Pivots, Brackets, Handle Back Plates and Hinges - Exposed surfaces should be wiped down with warm soapy water and a soft rag, and then rinsed clean before applying new surface protectants. A light spray application of WD40, followed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to remove excess is recommended for all hangers, pivots, brackets and hinges. Be careful not to get these compounds on wood items as they may cause staining. For oil rubbed bronze finish, care should be taken when cleaning or re-applying surface protectants..
Surface Mounted Locking Mechanisms - Spraying WD40 to the sliding pin inside the drop bolt and to the lock cylinder (if applicable) is recommended. There are access holes or slots on all drop bolts so that this can be completed without removing the locks from the doors.
Aluminum Coatings - Exposed surfaces should be cleaned with mild detergent soap and water. Any chips or scratches must be repaired immediately and not left exposed to the elements.
Wood Components - All wood component parts and finishes must be inspected annually for damage resulting from exposure to the elements and repaired immediately.
Vinyl Surfaces - Exposed surfaces should be cleaned with mild detergent soap and water, no harsh chemicals or acids.
Screens - Dust and debris can collect in the guide channels over time. Removal of such build up is easy and important to the screen's smooth movement. While the screen is retracted, remove any debris with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle. Dusty or coastal environments will require regular cleaning. The screen mesh should be lightly dusted to maintain an unobstructed view and air flow. While the screen is extended, remove any build up with a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle, care should be taken not to tear or rip the mesh.
Frequency - The procedures above need to be carried out as often as necessary to prevent deterioration in the installed environment. However, we recommend the following minimum maintenance frequency: General environments: every six (6) months. Marine, industrial or corrosive environments: every three (3) months.

Projects and Castle Crashers (Good God)
2008-08-31 10:48:03 by BreedCrasher
My 360 has been going warm for the past 7 hours. Thank you Castle Crashers.
I swear its the most addictive game on XBLA Ive ever played. Good job Tom and Dan, the Power Duo strikes again.
If you whine about the price you are a crybaby. Its far more worth the money than Braid as it'll keep you playing. Amazing Co-Op with that to boot and an arena mode where you do battle, Multiplay at its best. The only thing that bothers me so far is its way to handle connections.. Ive hardly managed to play much online, Ive heard some people's games got bricked while attempting to establish online contact to much...
Oh well. Maybe it'll be fixed.
So yeah anyway, if you feel like adding me, you can add me onto my gamertag, CarbonExt. I'll seeya there. Will definitely take you on as The Orange Knight.
Flash and Projects
So In other news, I got a few projects up and running which are on the way. The first one is a Sonic Tribute, hopefully something I can release on Launch Day of Sonic Unleashed, really looking forward to the game. It looks sweet. The second working flash is yet another Sonic flash although this being a parody with a more humorous approach which I hope to release in two weeks or so. It shouldnt take so much more to make it, aslong as I dont get addicted to Castle Crashers again and get my lazy ass up to work.
The Third Working Flash is a short traditional 24 fps frame by frame animation about one of my best buddies... A joke I pulled off on her. Which she hates however, therefor I have a feeling she'll be hating this particular flash, even though it stars her as the main character.
Fourth I want to finish my teaser trailer for my real working series project. I'd reveal more info to you about this but its more of a confidential in progress.
Also Im hoping to finish something for Madness Day this year, and maybe a better Halloween submission... Rush For Halloween indeed was a rush and crappy made animation.
In the meantime enjoy this picture of the Sonic flash Im working on.

Buy estrogen patch without prescription
Common Questions and Answers about Buy estrogen patch without prescription
testosterone (I use that too) was just okay but progesterone was hardly there at all. I decided to stay on the
for the time being since I did not want to switch everything at once. My progesterone was increased and switched from cream to an oral form which I had to put under my tongue. Progesterone is a natural diuretic and in theory should not cause weight gain and in fact can promote weight loss when necessary (estrogen is cited as a weight "maintainer").

Is it sythetic conjugated equine estrogen, if it is this, is it mixed with a synthetic progestin, or is it something like Vivelle which is a bioidentical product and is just estrogen? I also wondered if you were able to get a hold of Christiane Northrup's book, "The Wisdom of Menopause." You and I corresponded in another thread about this book.

These two ovarian/sex hormones are antagonistic (oppose and balance each other) and in your case it is likely that higher levels of
to lower levels of progesterone (
dominance) is the cause. By the way, Fibrocystic breasts are breasts that have dense fibrous tissue! You must also be able to distinguish between normal changes in your breasts during your period and Fibrocystic breasts which are in the majority of cases benign. Just to put you at ease.

The back drip leads to coughing. I believe this is due to an over production of hormones (androgen/

Barb, I was on a different cholesterol med which was working then started experiencing muscle weakness/ pain so he switched me to Crestor, now Iam wondering if the leg pain might have been from my thyroid.

Unfortunately, I can't find money in my budget for both my daughter and myself to have coverage so I do
. A price check through costco shows the price of a 100 tablets (100mg) to be around $80.00. How many times a day would I take a 100mg tablet? For sure, my budget would not allow for $80.00 a month but if was a one a day then $26 a month might be possible. I do have a physician so I'm sure the prescription wouldn't be a problem (as long as he agreed with the treatment for my skin).

When I lay flat, it felt as though I couldn't breathe. They put a nitroglycerin

They did an ECG, which was negative, drew blood and brought in a chest x-ray machine. theyadmitted me right away to the CDU where I was hooked up to a heart monitor and kept overnight for observation. The next day my doctor had a cardiologist come to see me. He did a stress test the next day, an echocardiogram, and a CT scan with contrast.

I suggest that you refrain from trying out products
consulting a dermatologist. This may cause other problems like extreme dryness and allergic reactions. A good diet , daily exercise, adequate sleep and taking adeqaute amount of water everyday will be able to help. Hormonal imbalance may indeed alter the body's normal physiologic responses. You may ask your gynecologist regarding this.

For instance the compounding pharmacist and the research I've done says that you should never use
progesterone. It isn't a good thing. The use of estrogen will lower testosterone even more. The testosterone gives us our sex drive and spunk, will help us build muscle and lose fat and lower cholesterol. I'm on the Vivelle Dot, 0.05, for the last year and my estrogen stll reads as post menopausal and nothing was done!

I then went and got a full physical and they tested for
and it came out that I was producing
on my own and it was in the normal range!! I also got results back from my physical that I had elevated liver enzymes and am supposed to come back in August to re-test. Dr. said it wasn't something to worry about, but it still worries me a little. Also I've lost about 3-5lbs after getting off the pill and my hair has been coming out a lot more..

I have gone online and found the Canadian pharmacy where u don't need a
the sumatriptan at 20%solution a 16 day pack which is 156$ but so very worth it. It keeps the headaches from coming. To all who have not tried I urge you to talk to your doctor because before it I attempted suicide twice because of the pain being so unbearable. I can say the only side effect I have gotten is an upset stomach and I will take that any day over the headaches.

Hi, I don't have a solution for sagging skin, but I did try the Gold Bond lotion and it works wonders! The crepe-like skin is nearly gone! Hydration was what my skin needed. I've also been using it on my chest area and it is working great. If I come across something for the loose skin I will certainly share. Good luck ladies.

05-28-2008, 02:24 AMThe Washington Post's "Fact Checker" blog has given Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama three Pinocchios (significant factual error and/or obvious contradiction) for his bogus claim that one of his uncles helped liberate the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz. This is down from the four Pinocchios (whopper!) fact checker Michael Dobbs originally gave the junior senator from Illinois for his Memorial Day misstatement reported by NewsBusters just hours ago.

I recently saw Control, the Joy Division biopic that traces the very brief rise and fall of lead singer Ian Curtis. It's sort of a Cliff's Notes version of the story about the band that would eventually morph into New Order, after Curtis committed suicide shortly following the release of Joy Division's first album. But the movie (now on DVD) is buoyed by a terrific imitation/performance/possession by Sam Riley who's so charismatic and hot that he is now my laptop's wallpaper. Sam Riley, will you father my children?
This week's Demonic Jukebox pick is the song that I currently can't get out of my head, the posthumously released "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Fortunately for us, a music video of the Joy Division song (later covered by New Order) was made prior to his death:
[*Thusly titled because selected songs are so catchy that they will get stuck in your head all week, which is, frankly, demonic.]

Step 2
Prep the Area
Nail down any loose steps. Fill cracks, holes or depressions on step surface with underlayment compound.
Thoroughly clean the steps.
Pro Tip
For 48 hours before installation, keep treads and adhesives at no less than 70 degrees F.
Step 3
Cut the Treads
Trim the treads to fit each step. For a tight fit, trim the rear edge of the treads with an under-bevel.
Cut treads with a steel straight edge and linoleum knife.
Step 4
Install the Treads
Treads must adhere completely to the steps with no air spaces. Use epoxy caulk to fill any gaps between the steps and the treads.
Spread adhesive on the bottom of the tread and underneath the nosing.
Install two treads at a time.
Set the nose of the tread first, pushing back firmly and tightly.
Set the surface front to back toward the riser, pushing down firmly.
Roll the treads completely smooth with a hand roller.

Vital Signs is a monthly program bringing viewers health stories from around the world.
(CNN)With over 100 types of sleep disorders to contend with, and around 40-50% of us experiencing insomnia at some point in our lives, it's vital to keep an eye on your sleep habits and seek help if you need it, according to Antonio Culebras, organizer of World Sleep Day 2016, a global initiative educating the public about sleep.
Many of us don't even know the basic facts about sleep. For instance, it should take you 10 to 15 minutes to fall asleep, with seven to nine hours being optimal for most of us, ideally at a temperature of around 60-67°F (16-19°C).
To celebrate World Sleep Day we asked you to share your top tips for a good night's sleep on Twitter. You replied with loads of ideas, from drinking a soothing cup of camomile tea, to going to the gym, or having sex. Here are our favorite ones and what the experts have to say about them ...
1. Turn off your gadgets
This is a good strategy according to Russell Foster, director of Oxford University's SCNi (Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute), as blue light emitted from smartphone, TV and computer screens can suppress melatonin (a hormone helping you sleep) and increase your alertness.
"What it probably will do is increase levels of alertness and therefore delay sleep onset ... it's a good rule of thumb to reduce light exposure," says Foster, advising to switch off your screens half an hour before bed and relax in a softly lit room.
You can even buy special light bulbs mimicking sunlight -- "white and color ambience" bulbs can gradually wake you up and send you to sleep by slowly brightening, dimming and alternating the light's frequency.
2. Avoid a bedtime tipple
However enjoyable nightcaps may be, unfortunately they could lead to more shallow sleep.
"Alcohol will actually disrupt some of the important things going on in the brain such as memory consolidation," says Foster.
A shallower sleep could lead to a negative cycle where you're dependent on sedatives to sleep, and stimulants such as caffeine or sugary food to stay awake during the day.
3. Get up early
If you're having trouble sleeping, getting up earlier could be the solution for you. It may seem brutal, but it can get results.
"Expose yourself to morning light as much as you can. That has been shown to stabilize the sleep/wake timing of the human body clock," says Foster.
You should also avoid napping, especially if it's for over 20 minutes, as waking up from deep sleep can make you feel even more groggy. By getting into a routine of getting up early and experiencing daylight your body clock adjusts to sleep earlier in the evenings, ridding you of those restless nights.
4. Forget your worries
Setting aside a quiet time in the evening to meditate, relax or pray was a popular response on Twitter.
It's important to let go of the worries that build up during the day as they can effect both the initiation and maintenance of sleep.
"The worries of the day should not be brought to bed," says Culebras, "A typical example here in the United States are people who work on their personal income tax and returns in bed ... of course they never match, so that's a typical thing that leads to insomnia."
5. Work out
Whether you're swimming, running, or practicing yoga, regular exercise can make for a great night's sleep.
It's best to work out around six hours before you go to bed as your body stays overheated for several hours after vigorous exercise, causing wakefulness.
"Exercise stimulates the nervous system, and it can cause insomnia if you exercise too late in the day," advises Culebras.
6. Work out a little more ...
For those of you with something a little spicier on your minds, sex was suggested as a good way to get a good night's sleep -- although bear in mind this could also be considered a form of exercise.
It's also included in World Sleep Day's Ten Commandments of Sleep, which are guidelines for attaining the best sleep possible. As Culebras explained, "Bed is good for two things: number one, sleep; and number two, sex with your bed partner. It is a type of activity that is helpful and accepted."
7. Have a hot drink
A hot (non alcoholic) beverage before bed is a great way to relax and prepare for sleep says Foster, as long as it doesn't contain caffeine.
"Try and wind down at least 30 minutes before you desired bedtime ... and go into a relaxed state, whatever that is for you -- it may be a hot milky drink, it may be reading a few pages of a novel."
Avoid coffee, chocolate and fizzy drinks at least six hours before you go to bed. Non caffeinated herbal teas are fine -- but don't drink too much or you may be making a midnight trip to the bathroom.
8. Listen to music
From soft new age sounds to gospel rhythms and sleep related podcasts, many of you drift off listening to music.
Soothing sounds can be a good way to doze off, but anything louder might have the opposite effect says Culebras.
"What is not as acceptable is loud rock and roll type music because that leads to excitation."
9. Only use medication as a last resort
While you may get results in the short term, it's important to be aware of unwanted effects and see your doctor if you're having trouble sleeping.
"Do not abuse medications to sleep ... if you need them for a short period always do it under the supervision of your physician, do not auto medicate yourself," advises Culebras.
"Eventually all of them have what we call rebound insomnia, which means once you stop them you are going to have two or three days with very little sleep at night."
Most of the time insomnia is triggered by psychological problems such as stress, anxiety or depression. It's important to see your physician and treat the underlying issues rather than use pills or supplements for immediate respite.
"We don't have this knee jerk reaction of giving a sleeping pill to everyone who suffers from insomnia," says Culebras. "We try to determine why, and then we try to remove what's causing or perpetuating insomnia."
10. Keep it simple
For some of you, it's that easy.

It's James here – scholars of WHYS cameos will know I've occasionally sat in the presenter's chair in the past (I've posted the evidence below :-)).
At the moment i'm working as a reporter for World Service, and I'm wondering if the WHYS community can help with a story i'm looking into. I'm asking whether financial problems are forcing parents to take their kids out of private schools and put them into the public system.
150 people were killed in Northern Nigeria after two days of violence. Residents in the state of Borno said that Islamic militants burnt a police station, a church and a customs office early yesterday.
The group, which calls itself Taliban, emerged in Nigeria in 2004. It has never been clear if it has proper links to the Taliban in Afghanistan but its leaders profess allegiance to and admiration of Osama bin Laden. Continue reading 'On air: Is Islamic extremism Africa's newest fear?'

If you have plenty of something which somebody else doesn't have enough of, and if it doesn't cost you anything health-wise to give it, should you get paid for it, or just donate it for free? That's the debate that has been re-ignited in Britain today after it emerged sperm and egg donations have plummeted.

Here's the good news. Women are doing better than ever in the workforce. And here's some more good news – ethnic minorities are also thriving. So what's the point of pouring millions of dollars into promoting and maintaining civil liberties groups? Isn't it "job done" for such bodies?
Lots of discussion here in the UK about the role and relevance of Britain's Equalities Commission. This piece feels that such groups are outdated and that it's wrong to assume that all minorities share the same view. Continue reading 'Do we need civil liberties groups anymore?'
Post-racial America: A myth?
It's Saturday morning and the Newshour team is now on air live discussing the controversy surrounding the arrest of the prominent African American scholar Henry Louis Gates. One of the questions we're asking is, how has President Obama handled the whole affair? Earlier in the week he said the police acted stupidly, and raised questions about the unfair treatment of black men. But on Friday a complete change of tone: The President said he regretted his comments and was responsible for helping to escalate the situation.

While there is no truth to the adage, "Starve a fever, feed a cold," research proves that what you eat can either boost or impair your immunity and help -- or hasten -- your recovery from an illness. This is why, as we enter cold and flu season, many of us are wondering how to get the proper nutrients. The answer may be as simple as adding some stealth health maneuvers to your repertoire -- sneaking nutrient-packed foods into your diet so that every bite counts, instead of having to count every bite.
Immune-Booster #1: Vitamin C
Vitamin C increases the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies and increases levels of interferon, the antibody that coats cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses. Some of the best sources of vitamin C are oranges, grapefruit, red peppers, mangoes, kiwi, broccoli, and tomatoes. According to Missy Chase Lapine, author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals, it's easy to entice even picky eaters to get dose of vitamin C with her Immune Booster Sorbet. "Most kids (and adults) lose their appetite when they get a cold or the flu, so this cold, sweet, smooth fruit sorbet will go down easy," Chase Lapine explains. "The sorbet is high in vitamin C which may help ward off or shorten the duration of everyday illness, and it can be made in minutes with a food processor or blender."The Sneaky Chef Immune-Booster Sorbet, www.thesneakychef.com
Makes 2 servings1 ½ cups frozen strawberries, blueberries, or cherries (without syrup or added sweeteners)
1/2 cup store-bought pomegranate and/or blueberry juice
1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar or honey, optional
Put all ingredients in a food processor and puree on high. Hold on tight, the first few seconds are a bit rough until the mixture smoothes out.
Immune Booster #2: Zinc
Good food sources of zinc include wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, low-fat yogurt, green peas, and shrimp. Since not all of these are "kid-friendly," Chase Lapine offers these five simple ways to slip zinc-rich foods into your family:1. Serve "fortified" breakfast cereal, ideally those that are low-sugar.
2. Sprinkle wheat germ onto breakfast cereal, oatmeal, in smoothies, and even in meat sauces.
3. Add parmesan cheese to pasta dishes.
4. Snack on toasted pumpkin seeds.
5. Buy zinc-fortified lollipops (use in small amounts and only after a meal to avoid stomach upset).
Immune-Booster #3: Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene helps to prevent infections, fight off disease, and makes cuts heal faster. Rich sources include leafy greens and orange-colored fruits and vegetables.Immune Booster #4: Vitamin A
The top food sources of vitamin A include sweet potatoes, carrots, mangoes, spinach, cantaloupe, dried apricots, milk, egg yolks, and mozzarella cheese. While even picky eaters will usually go for pizza with mozzarella cheese, Chase Lapine suggests adding pureed or grated carrots and/or sweet potatoes to soups, tomato or pizza sauce; adding pureed or grated carrots to pancake and/or muffin mixes; or making a batch of baked sweet potato French fries. -
With a little ingenuity and preparation, you can expand your gastronomical horizons while keeping your body healthy. For more information, visit www.thesneakychef.com.
Bonus! There's nothing more soothing than a steaming bowl of chicken soup to relieve nasal congestion and the symptoms of a cold or flu. As an added bonus, Chase Lapine's recipe contains a hidden puree of cauliflower and zucchini, both excellent sources of Vitamin C.
The Sneaky Chef Creamy Chicken Soup, www.thesneakychef.com
Makes about 4 servings1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon white flour
2 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned/boxed (no MSG)
1/4 cup White Puree (See Sneaky Chef Make Ahead Recipe #4 below)
1/4 cup dry egg noodles or macaroni
1 cup diced, cooked chicken meat
1/4 cup evaporated low-fat milk
Salt to taste
Optional extra boost: diced celery, carrots and/or parsnips
Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir constantly for a minute with a wooden spoon (this is a roux, a fancy name for a thickener). Pour in the broth and mix in the dry pasta. If you are adding any optional vegetables, do so at this point. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the pasta and vegetables are soft. Stir in the White Puree, cooked chicken, and the evaporated milk, mixing for a minute. Remove from heat and serve.
The Sneaky Chef's Recipe #4: White Puree
2 cups cauliflower florets (about 1⁄2 a small head)
2 small to medium zucchini, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 to 2 tablespoons water, if necessary
Makes about 2 cups of puree
Pour about 2 inches of water into a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Put a vegetable steamer basket into the pot, add the cauliflower, and steam for 10 to 12 minutes or until very tender. Drain. Alternatively, place the cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl, cover the cauliflower with water, and microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes or until very tender. Drain.
While cauliflower steams, pulse the raw peeled zucchini with the lemon juice (no water at this point) in your food processor. Once the cauliflower is cooked and tender, working in batches if necessary, add 1 tablespoon of water and some of the cauliflower to the food processor with the pulsed zucchini. Puree on high until smooth. Stop occasionally to push the contents to the bottom. If necessary, use another tablespoon of water to smooth out the puree, but the less water, the better.
This recipe makes about 2 cups of puree; double it if you want to store another 2 cups. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or you can freeze 1⁄4-cup portions in sealed plastic bags or small plastic containers.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Harvard Business School Dean Nitin Nohria on three key competitive advantages of Asian companies.
"If the 20th century was an American century and the 19th the European, the 21st century will be a global century that no one country will dominate," predicted Nitin Nohria, Harvard Business School Dean at a special session marking the 50th anniversary of Harvard-IESE Committee, a couple weeks ago. In his talk, "Innovative Leadership: Learning from Asian Companies," Nohria discussed how the competitive advantages enjoyed by emerging countries have moved beyond low labor costs. Today Asia boasts much more, including innovative management and leadership.
According to Nohria, Asian companies combine three key dimensions in competitiveness: efficiency, local responsiveness and innovation.
Japan was the first country to challenge the U.S. on efficiency, followed by Korea and China. Nohria cited Foxconn, the Chinese company that employs over a million people and makes many of Apple's devices, yet bids for projects with no margin. They do this as a strategy, convinced that they can improve productivity faster than the competition. "They have a ruthless learning curve in production," he added. He also mentioned the huge efficiency savings of Indian IT service companies like , which trains 100,000 programmers a year.
Local Responsiveness
To illustrate the importance of local responsiveness, he pointed out that in all emerging markets the dominant local player is growing faster than the global players because they recognize the realities of the local market. "We each bring into global competition a home country bias. But what works at home may not work locally."
"Reverse innovation" where you take an existing product and deliver it at a tenth of the price, is, according to Nohria, the third lesson we can learn from Asian companies. "There are 5 billion people who don't want new stuff because they still don't have the old stuff. They don't have anything. They haven't even got a fridge. To capture this market you need to innovate on price," he said. And while emerging markets have tended up till now to copy, he warned against selling them short in their capacity to innovate.
"We should not underestimate the quality of management and leadership in emerging countries," he continued, adding later that he thinks the debate on Western vs. Eastern leadership styles discussion is overstated. "Good management is more alike than different."

But here's what is so good about PetPlus. They partner with shelters and rescues because they understand the high cost and care of each foster dog. We have attached the website link below – let's show them some love! Thank you PetPlus! Our foster families can really use this membership!
Thanks Nature's Variety! Our partner in rescue!
Thank you PetMeds Cares for the product donation for our adoptable dogs!
NEBTR thanks Lupine Pet from New Hampshire. Our foster pups very often come with nothing – no leash, no collar, no harness. Lupine Pet has very generously offered to supply our new fosters with beautiful accessories, as pictured above. They are gorgeous and well made. You can also check out their store for your own pup.
Foster Moms….if you need leashes, collars, or harnesses, contact Chris Cassner and she will send them out to you.
PLEASE visit the Lupine site and support them, as they supported NEBTR.
They have some cool stuff AND come with a warranty!
Can you imagine?
Special thanks to Nylabone for the FANTASTIC donation to NEBTR of their products.
We are blessed that Nylabone donates to rescues and shelters, and
since their plant is getting ready for some work, my friend was able to
provide these amazing donations to our rescue organization!!!!! This
picture shows only 1-1/2 of the 6 cases I was able to pick up!!!

Bookkeeping may seem daunting, but Intuit's Quickbooks software makes it simple for small businesses to keep track of their shipping costs and income. So long as you make sure you enter all of the bills as they come in, and you account for all of the shipping costs you charge your customers, you can be sure to keep all shipping costs accounted in your books. The two areas you need to address is what you charge your customers for shipping and what you pay your shipping company.
Charge Customers for Shipping
Click on the "Customers" menu, and click "Create Invoice."
Choose a customer from the drop-down list.
Under the items section of the invoice, use the drop-down list on each line to choose the items sold to that customer. Add a Sales Tax item if you need to.
Add a new item at the end of the invoice from the drop-down list. Enter "Shipping" as the name of the item. Select "Service" or "Non-Inventory" from the drop-down menu in the type of item. Assign the tax code for shipping if you can collect sales tax on shipping in your area. This differs depending on where you are doing business. Leave the price at $0 and the cost at $0.
Press the "Save" button on the item.
Adjust the price of the shipping on the invoice to reflect what you are charging that customer for that shipment. Print or email the invoice to your customer and press the "Save" button at the bottom.
Pay Vendor for Shipping
Select the "Vendors" menu, and click on the "Enter Bills" option.
Choose the Shipping company from the drop down menu labeled "Vendor," and change the billing date to the one listed on the bill.
Enter the amount due in that field, and make any notes in the memo field. Under the "Expenses" tab, choose "Shipping" from the drop-down list.
Press the "Save" button.
Click the "Pay Bills" option in the Vendor menu. Check the shipping bills you want to pay the way you want to pay them. Push the "Save" button under the payment method. If you write checks, rather than printing them, you may need to adjust the check number to the one you used to write the check.
Tips & Warnings
- If you have paid bills in quickbooks, make sure you pay the bill that same way outside of quickbooks, using online bills payment, credit card, check or cash.

text: I am so tired of reading the rubbish negative comments about Heyneke Meyer and his bok team and this last one from Tank Lanning has just been the cherry on the top. All the people who put their ridiculous comments after your articles are so anti Bulls and anti Heyneke and everything seems to be about provisionalism. Why cant we as South Africans stand behind our new coach who was appointed, as we all wanted, to do his job and let him get on with it. It seems the S.A. rugby public are all rocket scientists who know far more than Heyneke could ever wish to. Whatever decision he makes or whatever team he chooses he cannot please everybody. As far as the whole Blue Bulls, tinted blue glasses and all the comments about Heyneke being Blue Bulls biased is concerned it makes me want to scream with frustration and unfortunately I am unable to log onto your site to voice my opinion. The current team that he has picked only consists of three Bulls players who as far as I am concerned have been picked on merit. Zane Kirchner is a fantastic full back and has proved his worth time and time again yet we insist on picking on him and bringing him down and pulling him to pieces. What has Zane done wrong in any of the matches that he has played - yes he does do a lot of up and under moves but damn he is good at it so why not ? Juandre Kruger is a great lock and who better in S.A. at the moment than him to pick. Hougaard is great on the wing, has the X factor and is a great choice - good players but yet we still have to pull Heyneke's selection of them to pieces. WHY? If there were no Bulls in the team would these people be happy ? This whole Morne fiasco is another issue that I feel is not justified and is wrongly reported and gone out of control. So the poor guy has lost a bit of form, have we forgotten about the incredible scores he kept notching up for South Africa in helping us to win so many tournaments and games. Memories seem to be very short when a player is down and out and now nobody has a good word to say about him. When Bryan Habana went off form everyone was calling for his head but the coach kept on with him and look now - voted player of the year. Give Morne a break - as we say in rugby "form is temporary but class is permanent". Morne will be back - he is great!!! Then again - we have to go into the whole racism debate again - why oh why has this never been an issue with our soccer team. Why has nobody (including our wonderful government) EVER complained about the lack of white faces in the soccer team??? Why has this never been made into the huge debacle that the rugby has been made into - can somebody please explain this to me for once and for all??? Now we are reporting that Heyneke doesn't like Blacks - how dare you?? My opinion about all this is to give Heyneke Meyer a chance - he is also sitting with a lot of our top players out with injuries and is this his fault? Give the man his due - he is a great coach and he hasnt had a chance in hell to prove himself yet - two weeks to pick his first team with all the injuries, then to try and juggle them around after that to find out which combinations are playing and working etc, etc. Leave him alone to get on with his job and keep the flipping politics and provisionalism out of rugby and perhaps we can start looking forward to becoming no.1 again - there is nobody better than Heyneke Meyer to do it !!!!

Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in the Cossham Hall, Thornbury.
If you are interested in joining the Townswomen's Guild please contact the Chairman Pat Denney for more information at: or on 01454 614232.
For more information about the Townswomen's Guild nationally, click here to visit www.the-tg.com
The primary objective of the Townswomen's Guild movement is 'to advance the education of women irrespective of race, creed and party so as to enable them to make the best contribution towards the common good'.
Groups of women of all ages meet monthly to exchange ideas, learn new skills, raise money for local and international charities and generally have fun!
Townswomen's Guilds grew out of the Women's Social and Political Union or suffragist movement which we in Thornbury Guild commemorate by sometimes turning out in boaters, most recently at the Thornbury Carnival.
Over its 80 year history the Townswomen's Guild movement has consistently fought for the advancement of women's rights.
Thornbury and District Townswomen's Guild celebrated its 50th Birthday in 2009. It meets in the Cossham Hall on the second Wednesday in the month when there is a short business meeting followed by a speaker or entertainment.
Members run special interest groups for Arts and Crafts, Music, Books, and supporting sick members.
We have been delighted to welcome new members recently, and look forward to welcoming many more in the coming months.
The annual subscription costs £33.
A warm welcome was given by Chairman, Pat Denney, to members and visitors at Thornbury Townswomen's Guild's February meeting. The Treasurer reminded everyone that subscriptions are now due, and the Greenhouse Project, a counselling service for those suffering from sexual abuse, was chosen as the charity for 2017. The date for the outing to Stratford upon Avon was confirmed as 16th May.
Mr Shaun McCormack is a member of The Queen's Bodyguard, known as The Yeomen of the Guard, which is the oldest military unit in the world today. It was formed in 1485 under Henry VII. There are 71 Yeomen, of whom 57 carry out duties, and they are recruited from the Army, although more recently retired RAF and Navy personnel may apply. Their role today is purely ceremonial and they attend all State occasions such as the Opening of Parliament, Investitures, Banquets and Garden Parties. They also play a part in the service on Maundy Thursday, when the Queen distributes the Maundy money, by carrying the seven plates on which the money is laid. They can be very heavy! Mr McCormack brought his uniform to show to the audience, which included the heavily embroidered coat (weighing 16 pounds), the Tudor-style hat, ruff and his red woollen stockings. He also passed round a number of interesting photographs showing the Yeoman on duty with the Queen, and a copy of his Oath of Allegiance. Mr McCormack's talk gave a very interesting insight into the life of a Yeoman of the Guard, whom we have all seen on State occasions.
Jan Ashforth, Pat Essler and Barbara Twining were among the raffle prize winners and the competition for a Royal Souvenir, which attracted a record number of entries, was won by Doreen Payne.
Next month's meeting will be the Annual General Meeting on 8th March in the Excell Room.

Nasal tumours occur predominantly in senior dogs of breeds that have moderate to longer noses, according Dr. Margaret McEntee, a veterinary radiation oncologist at Cornell University in her paper "Nasal Neoplasia in the Dog and Cat." Airedales, collies, shelties, Scottish terriers, basset hounds, German shorthair pointers and old English Sheepdogs contract the disease most often, with golden retrievers and Labradors also having a higher risk of illness. Owners of these particular breeds need to learn what the symptoms are of nasal tumours to initiate prompt veterinary care.
Other People Are Reading
Nasal Discharge
Veterinarians consider chronic discharge a major sign that your dog may have a nasal tumour. Typically beginning in one nostril, the discharge will eventually spread to both and one nostril is usually worse than the other. The liquid is seen as serous (clear), mucoid (white), mucopurulent (green and pussy) or hemorrhagic (bloody).
Decreased Air Flow
With the increase in mucus, your dog may begin sneezing in an attempt to get rid of the nasal discharge. Depending on the size and location of the tumours, air flow in and out of your dog's nose may decrease and you might hear what your vet calls stridor---a shrill, harsh sound heard during inspiration.
Facial Deformity
The vets at Veterinary Practice News magazine, a subsidiary of the Animal Network, state that late-stage signs of nasal cancer "may include a facial deformity along the dorsal (top) aspect of the maxillary bones (upper jaw) or over the paranasal and frontal sinuses (the front of the head)." The hard palate in your dog's mouth may soften because the growing tumours force facial bones to lose minerals and his teeth become loose. If the tumour extends into the eye orbit, your dog's eye can begin to protrude and you will see excessive tearing.
Neurological Signs
As the tumour grows, it may extend into the sinus cavity and up into the cranial vault causing central nervous system disorders. Your dog may show signs of disorientation, seizures, blindness, ataxia (inability to walk straight), unconsciousness and finally, coma.
Loss of Smell
Some dogs lose their sense of smell as the disease progresses and cranial and nasal nerves are destroyed. Once the ability to smell their food is gone, they can become anorexic and lose weight rapidly.
Diagnosis and Treatment
A veterinary diagnosis of nasal cancer relies on the vet's interpretation of your dog's history, blood work and biochemistry profile, a CAT scan of the nasal cavity, and a fine needle aspirate and biopsy of the tumour.
While some benign tumours can be surgically removed without consequence to the dog, veterinarians diagnose the majority of nasal tumours as malignant and the prognosis for affected dogs is poor. According to Vet Surgery Central, dogs undergoing surgery alone without further treatment live an average of less than six months. With surgery and added radiation treatment, some dogs have lived almost two full years after diagnosis.
