Last summer, I made my first attempt at blackberry ice cream. Homemade blackberry ice cream. Lucky me…I just happened to have an ice cream maker that I'd received for a wedding gift several years back. Of course, I'd never taken it out of the box, but that's beside the point. The first attempt at ice cream turned out well. Unfortunately, I didn't photograph it…therefore, I didn't blog about it. Truth be told, maybe that was a good thing. Because it gave me something to do this Memorial Day weekend. You know, gave me an excuse to make and eat some stinking good ice cream.
Truth is, it wasn't terribly hard to make. And remember, if I can make it, anyone can make it.
blackberry ice cream
2 pints fresh blackberries
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups half & half
1 cup sugar
5 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
equipment needs:
fine mesh strainer
ice cream maker
Add blackberries to medium saucepan, adding 1/4 cup sugar and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cover and cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes.
Drain using the fine mesh strainer, pressing the berries until as much juice as possible has been extracted. Set juice aside.
Next, heat half & half and the remaining 1 cup sugar in a separate sauce pan over low heat. Turn heat off once mixture is totally heated through.
In a separate bowl, add heavy cream. Set aside.
Beat egg yolks until yolks are pale yellow and slightly thick. Temper the yolks by drizzling 1 1/2 cups of half and half/sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Next, pour the egg/half & half mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the half & half mixture. Cook over low to medium-low heat until the mixture is thick. Stirring constantly. No really, keep stirring.
Drain the custard mix using the fine mesh strainer. Pour into the heavy cream. Stir to combine.
Add blackberry juice to the cream/custard mixture and stir well.
Chill mixture completely, then follow your ice cream maker instructions.

In the age of ever-advancing digital technology, there's something appealing about the retro feel of a reliable film camera. Whether you're using it for an artistic photoshoot, honing your photography skills, or just prefer film to digital, Batteries Plus Bulbs has the battery you need to get the most out of your film camera.
It might seem strange to think you need a battery to power a non-digital camera, but even older film cameras had features that required a power source. Depending on the age of your camera, you might need a battery for the flash, the light meter, or even to control the shutter. Some film cameras don't require a battery to take photos, but having a reliable power source will make snapping the perfect shot easier.
We are an industry leader for battery recycling. Each of our store locations is a drop-off point for battery recycling. Learn more about our recycling programs for consumers and businesses.
Have more questions? Contact us or visit your nearest store.
The battery you need will depend almost entirely on the brand and model of your camera. While few older cameras use proprietary batteries like modern digital ones do, they can still use a wide range of battery types. From the standard AA to hard-to-find button cells, finding the right battery for your camera can be complicated – especially when you consider that many film cameras use mercury-based batteries that are no longer produced.
Batteries Plus Bulbs helps make finding the right replacement battery for your film camera easier by showing you all the compatible batteries we have for your camera.
Can't find a battery for your film camera? Bring it to your nearest Batteries Plus Bulbs store and an associate will help you find a match.
Need batteries for your digital camera instead? We've got you covered there, too.

Nonprofit organizations don't expect foundations to solve all their problems, but they believe foundations could be a lot more helpful in certain critical areas, according to a survey by the Center for Effective Philanthropy.
CEP surveyed 121 nonprofit leaders, members of the organization's Grantee Voice panel, whose goal is to help foundations and nonprofits to work together productively. These executive directors, presidents and CEOs represented organizations with between $100,000 and $100 million in expenses, and received some funding from foundations that give at least $5 million annually.
The survey found that just 52% of nonprofits' leaders believed their foundation funders were aware of the challenges their organizations faced.
Even fewer respondents thought foundation funders were as helpful as they could be. Only 31% believed foundations deployed their myriad resources to help them address their challenges, and 36% thought foundations shared knowledge about what similar grantees were doing to meet challenges.
Nonprofits are looking for specific kinds of assistance. Eighty percent of nonprofit leaders said their organizations needed help to meet demand for their services.
Indeed, the inability of many groups to meet growing demand for services has been has increased since the onset of the recession. The Nonprofit Finance Fund's annual survey found that 52% of nonprofits could not meet demands for services in 2012, up from 44% in 2009.
Two-thirds of the 77% of nonprofit leader respondents who found use of technology to increase effectiveness a challenge wanted more help from their foundation funders.
Nonprofit leaders also felt foundations could step in to help them bolster their leadership skills. Seventy-three percent complained about lack of sufficient resources and opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
CEP said this was not an issue only for those leaders new to their roles. More than 40% of respondents reported they had been in their positions for 10 years or longer.
Pressure on nonprofits to grow or develop earned revenue has increased in recent years as government funding has been cut and competition has intensified.
Some nonprofits, for example, receive government funding to provide essential social services, such as housing or education. Others focus on local problems that government alone can't address, with funding coming from individual or corporate donations and special events.
Eighty-five percent of nonprofit leaders for whose organizations earned revenue was important found this challenging. And the majority found it difficult to increase their earned revenue.
A number of respondents didn't think foundations could help in this area, but the majority was seeking foundation help.
Nonprofit leaders said the hardest money to raise was that from foundations. Ninety percent of respondents found this challenging, and 72% said it was extremely challenging.
Similarly, 95% found securing both multiyear funding and general operating or unrestricted funds difficult, and about two-thirds said it was extremely hard.

Perhaps it was the complimentary hot milk and cookies delivered to our room on our first and last nights that appealed so much. This was something my travel companion and I had never experienced before, and it epitomized the genuinely caring approach at The Upper House.
Travel is really all about service. So no matter how amazing a hotel room is, the hotel staff will make or break your stay.
The Upper House is part of the Swire Group, parent of Cathay Pacific airline, which prides itself on first-class service. The hotel embraces the same approach and standards.
For example, a few days before our arrival, we received a Guest Preference questionnaire asking about: "Things you must have when away from home," "Your favourite things to do in Hong Kong" and "Any special dietary requirements/preferences we should be aware of."
I e-mailed back we'd like to have flowers in the room, and a beautiful. A multi-bloom white orchid greeted our arrival.
I also said we would enjoy interesting dining, and possibly a visit to Lamma Island, which has no cars.
Vinchi Chau, of the hotel's Guest Experience department, replied with a description of several new and unusual restaurants, and attached a restaurant guide. He also provided details of the best way to visit Lamma and the island's main attractions.
Small wonder The Upper House ranks seventh in TripAdvisor's guest rating of 308 hotels in Hong Kong.
Because the rooms start at Level 38, you can have a spectacular view of Hong Kong Harbour and Kowloon across the water.
In the corner suites, you get the view from the living room, bedroom and free-standing bathtub in the bathroom.
The modern and comfortable "room" itself, ranges from 68 square metres for the smallest (Studio 70, which Upper House claims is the largest studio in Hong Kong) - half of which is the bathroom - to the 114 square metres Upper Suite.
Rack rates range from $415 for a studio to $800 for an upper suite plus 10-per-cent service charge. But check the website - www.upperhouse.com/en/Pages/index.aspx#/en/Reservations/Special_Offers/ - under "Suite Ride" and "Stay Longer" for special offers.
Some samples include complimentary a la carte breakfast for two, free airport transfers, and "stay three nights and the fourth is free."
If you normally stay at boutique, four-star and five-star hotels, The Upper House offers an out-of-the-ordinary, extraordinary experience. Or make it your one big splurge: As my friend said, "All the things we saw in Hong Kong were amazing but Hong Kong for me is The Upper House."
The details
- Best amenity: Hands down, the view from the bathroom. If you can afford it, try to get a corner room where the views are from every room.
- Who would like it: Anyone who likes to splurge for personal service and amazing views.
- One quibble: An unusual one: I have no sense of direction, and the luxury suites are so big I kept getting "lost" when I tried to go to the bedroom or bathroom.
- Accolades: Upper House was named one of the Top 100 Hotels In the World by readers in 2011 Conde Nast Traveller U.K.
- Price: Starting at $415 for a studio, but check out the Upper House website under special for discounts and other offers. More info: Pacific Place, 88, Queensway, Hong Kong. Tel: +852-3968-111. e-mail, www.upperhouse.com

Azul Systems Zing runtime for Java release 5.10 arrives this month. The software promises to give Java developers a new set of compiler APIs that extend the functionality and scope of Azul's ReadyNow! technology.
Key new ReadyNow! features in Zing 5.10 include "compilation policy controls" during live operation to improve the behavior of high-performance applications that must execute quickly without later encountering stalls and slowdown at critical times.
This release of Zing also extends production support for new "server-grade" Amazon AWS instances and is certified for use in big data applications running Cloudera Enterprise 5.
Also here you will find Compiler APIs and Compiler configuration directives, which allow Java developers to specify the desired level of compilation and optimization policies applied at the individual class or method level. This, says the company, maintains high levels of optimization while avoiding future stall-inducing code deoptimization.
Improved "unreached" code handling has also been included, which optimally compiles code even when infrequently used, thereby reducing unexpected stalls and pauses during live operation.
"Beyond our new cloud and Big Data-centric capabilities, Zing 5.10 is the most developer-empowering Zing release we've ever built," said Scott Sellers, Azul Systems president and CEO. "Our goal with this new Zing release is to give leading-edge Java DevOps teams the tools they need to monitor, control, and tune the behavior of latency and throughput-sensitive Java applications."
"Like most developers building applications at scale, Java developers are always looking for better control over their runtime environment," said Stephen O'Grady, principal analyst at RedMonk. "Azul's focus on exposing latent JVM features and capabilities, therefore, is likely to be well-received by those building Java applications for the enterprise."

First grade has been a difficult parenting year for Anne. Her 6-year-old son, Justin, began eating lunch in the cafeteria with hundreds of other students armed with their peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter crackers, and all those hidden peanuts in their processed foods.
For Justin, who has an extremely severe allergy to peanuts, it means sitting at a peanut-free table. But Justin isn't alone: About 5% of school-aged kids have some kind of food allergy, putting them at risk of an allergic reaction at home or, even more dangerously, away from home.
Peanuts are among the most common allergy-causing foods, and they often find their way into things you wouldn't imagine. Take chili, for example: It may be thickened with ground peanuts.
Peanuts are actually not a true nut, but a legume (in the same family as peas and lentils). But the proteins in peanuts are similar in structure to those in tree nuts. For this reason, people who are allergic to peanuts also can be allergic to tree nuts, such as almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, pecans, and cashews.
An allergic reaction happens when someone's immune system mistakenly believes that something harmless, such as a tree nut or peanut, is actually harmful. The immune system responds by creating specific antibodies to proteins in that food. These antibodies — called immunoglobulin E (IgE) — are designed to fight off the "invading" proteins.
IgE antibodies trigger the release of certain chemicals in the body. One of these is histamine. The release of histamine can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and cardiovascular system, causing allergy symptoms like wheezing, stomachache, vomiting, itchy hives, swelling, and a drop in blood pressure.
Reactions to foods, like peanuts and tree nuts, can be different. It all depends on the person — and sometimes the same person can react differently at different times. Some reactions can be very mild and involve only one system of the body, like hives on the skin. Other reactions can be more severe and involve more than one part of the body.
Most reactions last a few hours or less, and affect any of these four body systems:
In really bad cases, an allergy can cause anaphylaxis, a sudden, potentially life-threatening reaction. Besides the symptoms mentioned above, anaphylaxis can make airways swell and blood pressure drop. As a result, a person may have trouble breathing and could lose consciousness.
Even a small amount of peanut or tree nut protein can set off a severe reaction. But allergic reactions just from breathing in small particles of nuts or peanuts are rare because the food needs to be digested to cause a reaction. Most foods with peanuts in them don't allow enough of the protein to escape into the air to cause a reaction. And just the smell of foods containing peanuts won't produce a reaction because the scent does not contain the protein.
In very rare cases when people do react to airborne particles, it's usually in an enclosed area (like a restaurant) where lots of peanuts are being cracked from their shells. The person inhales and then swallows the protein, which can lead to a reaction when the protein gets digested. Although some people outgrow certain food allergies over time (like milk, egg, soy, and wheat allergies), peanut and tree nut allergies are lifelong in many people.
If allergy skin testing shows that your child has a peanut or tree nut allergy, a doctor will provide guidelines on what to do.
The best way to prevent a reaction is to avoid peanuts and tree nuts. Avoiding these nuts means more than just not eating them. It also means not eating any foods that might contain tree nuts or peanuts as ingredients.
The best way to be sure a food is nut-free is to read the label. Manufacturers of foods sold in the United States must state on their labels whether the foods contain peanuts or tree nuts. Check the ingredients list first.
After checking the ingredients list, look on the label for phrases like these:
People who are allergic to nuts also have to avoid foods with these statements on the label. Although these foods might not use nut ingredients, the warnings are there to let people know they might contain traces of nuts. That can happen through "cross-contamination," when nuts get into a food product because it is made or served in a place that uses nuts in other foods.
Some of the highest-risk foods for people with peanut or tree nut allergy include:
Always proceed with caution. Even if your child has eaten a food in the past, manufacturers sometimes change their processes — for example, switching suppliers to a company that uses shared equipment. And two foods that seem the same might have differences in their manufacturing.
To help reduce contact with nut allergens and the possibility of severe reactions in someone with a peanut or tree nut allergy:
With a little preparation and prevention, you can make sure that your child's allergy doesn't get in the way of a happy, healthy everyday life.

Why did Constantinople get the worksThat's nobody's business but the TurksIstanbul
then please explain why is it that you believe things that was not believed by the 2nd century christians.
That is not issue at all. the romanians do share in the roman legacy as a conquered people that were romanized.
They Might Be Giants, one of my favorite bands of all time.
The difference is that rome was never taken over by muslim culture and religion and became a beacon of that civilization.
No.. it is very different. Rome still existed when the popes where exiled to france. constantinople no longer exist.
why are we turning this thread into a ponting finger fiasco. I knew that this was going to be done.
Not only has the city changed in name but in everything. culture, religion and national origin. it is not only a name change as you say. if it far more than that.
First, orthodoxy was never the religion of Rome. orthodoxy was/is the religion of the east NOT the west. I am not making no exception whatsoever. one city remained christian while the other became a muslim stronghold.As for your last comment... I highly doubt it. europeans are very concience of what/whom they are.
Numbers don't lie man.
QuoteThe difference is that rome was never taken over by muslim culture and religion and became a beacon of that civilization.Kind of like how Rome was taken over-run by the pagan barbarian tribes at the end of the 5th centry?I still say this dude is a troll. No one is this thick or likes to argue this much over such trivialities.

lol! welcome to the club Josh! I like to think of myself as being a Reformer--Reforming my life and theology to be in line and in the Orthodox Church.But seriously, what we are talking about in regards to RB is simply that all he does is come here, post something totally off the wall with no basis in fact, insult anyone who disagrees with him, hurl a few slanders around, and generally refuse to answer points made against his argument. For instance in one of his posts on the first page of this thread, he said it should no longer be called "Patriarch of Antioch" because the patriarch resides in Damascas. Then when someone pointed out that this argument was false because for a lenghty period of time the "pope" of Rome was in Avingnon and not in Rome. Then instead of changing his position, he brings in Istanbull out of the woodwork to try and make some other point and hurl some more insults. Add this to his earlier trackrecord (i.e. bragging that he was recieving communion in Orthodox Churches he attended with his cousins by marriage and not telling the Priest he is not Orthodox, etc. ) leads many of us to believe he is a troll.Joe Zollars
RomanByzantium,How so. Last time I checked, Constantinople still existed, Orthodox still called it Constantinople. Oh but wait...things have changed, right? It's not the same Constantinople it was say, 1000 years ago. But alas, "Rome" is not the same "Rome" it was 1000 years ago either. :)I can't stand passive aggressive people.Seraphim

Oh you Greeks, you are all dumb!An Athonite
RomanByzantium,Rome used to be a pagan capital, where most of the hoi poloi spoke Greek, their "betters" spoke Latin, and where a culturally and ethnically semitic Bishop oversaw a growing flock composed of slaves, common folk, members of the Senate, and even members of the Emperor's house.Does that sound much like the institution situated in the sovereign city state of the Vatican (carved out of a piece of Rome, which is currently the capital of yet another more modern country, Italy, which has gone through many changes in government) which only speaks a language very vaguely resembling Latin, in which almost the entire population is nominally Roman Catholic (though only a minory are regular Church goers)?This reminds me of your absurd arguments against the East Roman Empire being in fact "Roman." Simply put, you're being a label queen.Seraphim
This is my hypothesis as well. Joe Zollars
RB, I still contend that your entire argument, if it is based solely on names (as you seem to imply by your posts), is utterly laughable...stupid, to the layman. If you seriously think, for example, that my mom became a different entity by changing her name on her new US passport (upon being naturalised) from what it was on her Green Card, then I give up, I really do. Happy feast day of Saint Alexis Toth, btw.
Are you an anti-Semite or something?
It's the same territory, isn't it? The name has changed, but it's still where it used to be. And, since you're big on this whole culture thing, I'd appreciate it if you would go through the differences between English and Dutch cultures at the time when control of the area changed hands. I honestly don't know much about this, and my (perhaps ignorant) guess would ordinarily be that, aside from language and denomination, it's basically the same culture.
Personally, I think you guys are taking this a little far, but I'm very willing to be corrected as I'm no scholar.New Amsterdam, as far as I know, was not a major place of authority and reverence to the Church. Hence, its name change can be tolerated and accepted. But when something happens to a centrally Orthodox city like Constantinople, it would make sense that the people would try their hardest to maintain its originality, even if it has changed. The least they can do is call it by its original proper name, a name dear to them, instead of a somewhat "desacrated" name. (I'm bad at history, so I don't know precisely what happened, I'm just assuming its something bad that lead to Constantinople becoming Istanbul.)But of course, this is just what I can reason out.Kim
Greeks are from the Mediterranean, Russians are farther north, their languages are different, etc., etc. To me, all these things caused them to develop differently, and so they are different cultures. The Dutch and the English, however, are inhabitants of lands in the same general vicinity, share a common religion (Protestantism, if I'm not mistaken), and their languages (again, if I'm not mistaken) may be related. If this is true, then I would think they are more alike than different. I readily grant that I might be wrong on this, but as I said, I don't know, and was hoping you'd tell me more than "yeah, they're different".
[I like to think of myself as a Protestant in the truest sense of the word, though: I've protested the excesses of Rome by returning to the Apostolic Church. Josh ]All of which makes you "A CATHOLIC NOT IN COMMUNION WITH ROME" in more ways than one! Orthodoc
Yeah... the Muslim conquerors did what all conquerors do. They destroy, rename, introduce their religion and culture until very little of the old remains. This is how constantinople became Instabul. All the great empires( spanish, english, romans, etc) have done it. The Romans did it to all the people that they conquered.
I personally see more similarity than difference in the cultures of Spain, France, and Italy as one group, Greece and the Middle East as another group, and the English and Dutch and whoever else should be in there as yet a third group. But I will cease pushing the culture point, since I'm not very well versed on the history and cultures of the peoples of Europe, and even if I was, I doubt you'd agree. Anyway, you are not really addressing the issue. You start with the fact that the names are different, and when that is shown to be a useless basis on which to claim that the entities are different, you go into the whole culture thing. For me, this is all about land. Furthermore, it seems like you mistakenly believe that Orthodox completely do not accept "Istanbul" as a reality. I think they do, but they refer to their EP as that of Constantinople. Why that is a problem for you, a member of a Church which still appoints men to be auxiliary bishops of existing dioceses and gives them the titles of sees which have been defunct for hundreds of years, and canonically enjoins them to offer the Mass on occasion for the welfare of their "diocese", is beyond me.
RB, Thanks for that lesson, since I wasn't sure what had happened.But can you tell me, did the point I was making make any sense to you? That's the meat of what I was addressing.Kim
http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/lt.htmlI'd like you to tell me how many of these places actually exist (in the way you define existence) today, RB. Thanks.
I sent you the list of titular sees, RB...all of them are defunct, that's the point. But, here's one:http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/d4c39.htmlI note that the diocese you cited is a currently operating diocese, and not a titular see, which is what I am talking about, but your example is also good. I notice that, while the diocese you cite is called, in English, the Archeparchy of Istanbul (Armenian), in Latin, it is called Constantinopolitanus Armenorum. Surely the language which gave us Archidioecesis Neo-Eboracensis for the Archdiocese of New York is smart enough to give us a latinised form of Istanbul, isn't it? Why stick to a name of the past, which has been supplanted by conquerors of another religion and culture?
sure shutlz... but one remain christian while the other was destroyed, renamed and to this day is a muslim stronghold.why are you guys getting so defensive?
That is right seraphin.... ROME was pagan and turned christian and it still remains. I wish that I could say the same for constantinople. If you wish to reminisce about constantinople.... who am I to argue.easter empire was roman until it became hellinized. it is in the books.
sure.. anthing that rocks your boat is dismissed. reminds me of the jews. oh well that is another thread.

- How to Read a Study Record
Once-daily nucleotide/nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI/NRTI) combinations form the backbone of many regimens. Although efficacy data exists between tenofovir and the pyrimidine analogues (i.e. lamivudine and emtricitabine), recent clinical data suggests a potential interaction between tenofovir and purine analogs (i.e. abacavir and didanosine).
Specific Aim 1: To evaluate the impact of an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate, tenofovir (TDF), on the intracellular metabolism of a purine nucleoside analog, abacavir (ABC), as a determinant of the antiviral potency of this nucleotide/nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI/NRTI) combination.
- Hypothesis #1: ABC and TDF dosed together will have reduced antiviral activity, as measured by early plasma HIV RNA decay kinetics, than the drugs given alone.
- Hypothesis #2: ABC dosed with TDF will have reduced intracellular concentrations, as measured by the ratio of carbovir triphosphate (active metabolite of ABC) to deoxyguanosine triphosphate (endogenous nucleotide), compared to ABC given alone.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Tenofovir Drug: Abacavir
|Phase 2
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the virologic potency and pharmacology of TDF and ABC alone and in combination. Since it is not feasible or ethical to give mono or dual-therapy with these agents for prolonged intervals, this project was designed to take advantage of a short term drug exposure. The study performs intensive lab monitoring with a cross-over design to compare short courses of monotherapy and dual-therapy. This is an open-labeled study of a dual NRTI/NtRTI combination, ABC + TDF, compared to ABC and TDF monotherapy administered for 7 days. A total of 20 ARV-naïve subjects will be enrolled in this study. A screening genotype will be done to confirm that there are no resistance-associated mutations at baseline. Each subject will then be randomized to a 7-day sequence of monotherapy (ABC or TDF), and four measurements for plasma HIV RNA will be done to calculate the slope of the phase one viral decay. Prior to initiation of nucleoside analogues, PBMCs will be collected to measure baseline expression of nucleoside transport enzymes via RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. On days 7 and 8, serial blood specimens will be collected for plasma and intracellular levels of TDF and ABC. The monotherapy sequence will be followed by a 35-day washout period.
After the washout (day 42), subjects will initiate the dual NRTI/NtRTI therapy sequence for an additional 7 days. During dual NRTI/NtRTI therapy, again, four measurements for HIV RNA will be done to calculate the slope of the phase one viral decay. On day 48 and 49, serial plasma and intracellular levels of ABC + TDF will be evaluated. On Day 49 a second HIV genotype will be performed in real time. On day 49, after the second 7-day sequence, all subjects will receive EFV in addition to the ABC + TDF combination for 14 days. Afterwards, a second sample of PBMCs will be collected to evaluate for a potential induction or suppression of nucleoside transport enzymes. Since the long-term efficacy of the TDF + ABC nucleoside backbone is not yet known, TDF will be discontinued (day 63) and 3TC will be substituted. Subjects will then continue on the HAART portion of the study for an additional 46 weeks of EFV + ABC + 3TC.

For dinner most nights Jeff and I put on some music, light some candles (more out of necessity than romance -- we don't have a dining room fixture), and talk about our days. We look forward to this time together and would never think of spoiling it by turning on the TV. Well, almost never.
There are a couple of exceptions:
1) Monday Night Football (although we sometimes hit mute to give ourselves a reprieve from Tony Kornheiser's bantering).
2) Sunday Night Football, hosted by John and Al, because we love John and Al.
We live on the West Coast, so games start three hours earlier, around 5 or 6 pm. This means by the time we eat dinner around 7:00, the game is already half over. Now, we can't be expected to miss it entirely, can we?
On these nights the food is usually fun -- comforting, low-maintenance dishes that make you feel like you're at the game while seated comfortably on your own sofa. To avoid gaining five pounds by halftime, I forgo take-out for homemade.
Oh. Jeff just reminded me that there is a third time TV is allowed during dinner:
3) A Red Sox post-season game. They're in the World Series again this year, and they trounced the Colorado Rockies in game one last night. I mean, what could be more fun than watching Manny being Manny and listening to Joe Buck's bantering? (Joe kinda grows on you).
Now unless you want your calzones to be as soggy as Fenway Park was last night, here are a few pointers:
*Use fresh spinach instead of frozen, if available, since it releases less water.
*Squeeze the water out of the spinach after cooking it.
*Season the spinach after extracting the water, so the seasonings aren't released. And don't be afraid to season generously with salt and other spices, since spinach is bland until dressed up properly.
*Nutmeg is an ideal flavor enhancer for spinach, but it can be intense. I suggest using it sparingly and tasting as you go.
Spinach, Nutmeg, and Ricotta Calzones
Print the recipe only here.
Makes 2 large pies
1 pound pizza dough
2 tsp olive oil
12 oz fresh baby spinach, rinsed (about 12-13 cups)
12 roughly chopped Kalamata olives
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded part-skim milk mozzarella cheese
A couple of pinches of freshly grated nutmeg (or a couple of dashes of ground)
A few shakes of crushed red pepper
A generous amount of salt
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil for brushing the pies
Preheat oven to 500 if using a pizza stone or 425-450 if using a baking sheet.
Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and cook 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove spinach from pan and place in a colander. Squeeze the spinach with the back of a spoon until the water is extracted, and it looks dry. Place spinach in a bowl; add olives, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, nutmeg, crushed red pepper, and salt. Mix well. Taste to make sure it is adequately seasoned.
To form the calzones:
Working on a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half, and roll into two 8-10-inch ovals. For each piece of dough, put half of the spinach-ricotta mixture a bit above the center of the oval. Fold the dough to form a half-moon; seal the edges together by pressing down lightly. Then using your fingertips, fold the edge of the dough up, and pinch around the edge to create a seal. Brush them with the 2 tsp of extra-virgin olive oil.
For a pizza stone, bake at 500 degree for about 10-15 minutes, or until both the top and bottom of the crust is golden brown.
For a baking sheet, bake at 450 for about 25 minutes, or until both the top and bottom of the crust is golden brown.

The Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) has announced the availability of its latest mathematical and statistical library, the NAG Library for Intel Xeon Phi.

- Enabling a Smooth DX Transformation in the Post-Pandemic New Tomorrow
- Thinking Like an Attacker: Strategies for Defense
The computational software and high-performance computing services firm says that this library contains over 1,700 numerical routines, a number of which have been parallelized and tuned to take advantage of the performance of the Xeon Phi.
NAG routines automatically offload, when it is beneficial to do so, compute-intensive operations to the Xeon Phi — this action is said to enable users to "transparently exploit" the performance of the Xeon Phi.
NOTE: For more advanced users the new NAG Library for Intel Xeon Phi also supports Intel's Explicit Offload and Native Execution models.
To further complement the new Library, NAG provides developers with parallel software engineering and performance optimization services to advise and give assistance with the migration of application codes in order that they effectively exploit the potential of the Xeon Phi coprocessor.
"The Numerical Algorithms Group has long provided value to the Intel Xeon processor with high-quality optimized numerical libraries," said Joe Curley, director of marketing for technical computing group at Intel Corporation. "In an extension of this partnership, NAG collaborated to provide input that helped in the definition and development of Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor technology. Tailoring the NAG Library to support Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors should benefit our mutual customers' highly-parallel, development efforts."
The NAG Library has performance-sensitive routines that are updated with each library release to work efficiently on parallel computing systems using standards such as OpenMP and MPI.

The Sepia Saturday prompt photo this week shows a man standing in a deep bank of snow on a sidewalk in Keene, New Hampshire, "after the great storm, March 13, 1888." I'm sticking with the theme only peripherally, in the sense that it shows people in front of houses, and I'm once again grateful to Gail Durbin for giving me the idea for the topic.
Another area that fascinates me is images of people standing outside their houses in photographs that show the whole house. Was this a winter activity for beach photographer? I think one of my cards actually has a message saying that a photographer had come to the road that day.
Unidentified family in front of their home, postmarked Leytonstone, 1910
Postcard portrait by unidentified photographer
Image © lovedaylemon and courtesy of Flickr
On the reverse of this postcard in Gail's collection is written the following message.
A photographer came today to take the houses.The family are posed along the short garden path in front of what is presumed to be their home. Whether the family or the house were the primary motive for the portrait is not clear, but it falls within a large genre of photographs of people taken in outdoors settings, and more specifically with their home featuring prominently in the view, apparently by photographers who roamed the suburbs touting for business.
Lovedaylemon's "Us outside our house" set at Flickr
Gail has a huge set of several hundred such images on Flickr, fittingly entitled, "Us outside our house," which are well worth a browse. The bulk of them are postcards, and probably date from the 1900s, 1910s and 1920s, with a few as late as the 1930s. I hadn't noticed previously, but Gail is quite correct that a large proportion of the portraits seem to have beeen taken in winter, as evidenced by the leafless trees and ivy. What is more unusual is to have a record of the circumstances surrounding the actual taking of the portrait.
Baker-Haseldine family in Derby, 1920
Mounted print by L.P. Hitchens
Image © and courtesy of Jane Porter
In an article written in April 2008 I discussed a family group portrait taken in an informal garden setting in the suburbs of Derby. According to the story told to photograph owner Jane Porter by family members:
It was 1920 in Derby. That was the year when my gran - Madge - was born. The story is that a photographer knocked the door and offered to take a photo of them. They rushed to get themselves tidied up and cut some roses from the back garden to hold. Ethel (the middle of back row) had just been doing the washing (she'd had her sleeves rolled up).The photographer L.P. Hitchen (1877-1922) was a cotton weaver in Burnley, Lancashire for much of his life, and probably only tried his hand at photography for a brief period, not long enough even to have card mounts printed. I can find no other record of his photographic work apart from this portrait.
Portrait of unidentified family group and house, c. mid- to late 1860s
Carte de visite by Thomas B. Mellor of Belper, Derbyshire
Image © and courtesy of Cynthia Maddock
Cynthia Maddock sent me this image of a much earlier carte de visite portrait in the same vein, featuring a large family, complete with baby and cat, arranged in front of an old thatched cottage. Thomas Barker Mellor of The Butts, Belper, Derbyshire practised as a photographer in and around that town for roughly a decade from the late 1860s until the mid- to late 1870s. While he may have had a studio, I have yet to come across an example of his work which hasn't been taken outdoors. Even an 1874 group portrait of Butterly Company workers appears to have taken place in a hastily constructed makeshift studio in an outdoors setting. A garden at Pentrich Lane End formed the backdrop to the charming Fletcher family portrait taken c. 1867, as shown in a charming carte de visite in Robert Silverwood's collection.
Portrait of unidentified family group and house, c. late 1880s-early 1890s
Cabinet card by unidentified photographer

I am particularly interested in such examples, as they provide valuable information on a group of photographers who otherwise tended not to leave much in the way of documentary evidence of their work, even though their output was often prodigious. I can't be sure, and certainly can't provide any sources for it, but I believe some photographers may have specialised in this house-to-house trade. From as early as the 1850s there were itinerant photographers who would frequent country fairs, but I believe there were also plenty of practitioners who never had permanent studio premises, and sought out customers wherever they could find them. If that meant going from house to house in the suburbs, then that's what they did.
The Payne family at home, c.1894-1895
Cabinet card portrait by A & G Taylor of Derby
Image © and collection of Brett Payne
In spite of the photographer's imprint suggesting a studio in Queen Anne Buildings, New Briggate, Leeds, I believe this portrait of my grandfather and his parents to have been taken in the garden of their house (and grocer's shop) at 83 St James' Road, Derby, not long after their return from Chicago in late 1892. A greenhouse is visible in the background, and my great-grandfather is sitting on a newspaper to prevent his suit trousers from being ruined by sitting in the rockery. A & G Taylor was a huge firm with branches country-wide; several of these branch studios in the Midlands (Derby, Nottingham, Leeds & Sheffield) were run together by a manager William Middleton in the 1880s and 1890s. I suspect that they temporarily ran out of stock of card mounts for the Derby branch at this time, and used some old card stock, since the Leeds branch was by that time being managed by someone else. I think it likely that the photographer was touring the neighbourhood, and the Payne family made the most of the unexpected opportunity.
Uncle Hallam, Aunt Sarah & Leslie Payne, St James' Road, Derby
Postcard portrait by unidentified photographer, c. 1907-1909
Image © and courtesy of Barbara Ellison
A decade later this postcard portrait taken on the street outside the same house and off-licence, then occupied by my grandfather's Uncle Hallam, was almost certainly taken by a similarly opportunistic photographer. It depicts, from left to right, an unidentified female shop worker, Sarah Emma Payne (1870-1946), Charles Hallam Payne (1870-1960), my grandfather Charles Leslie Lionel Payne (1892-1975) handling an early form of shopping cart - presumably used for transporting beer deliveries indoors - and an unidentified young man in charge of Hallam's horse and brewer's dray.

This image of a postcard is from a group which belonged to the Stewart and Gunson families of Tauranga and Katikati, and shows Charles and Maud Gunson in front of a wooden house with enclosing verandahs and a fenced garden with several shrubs. No photographer's imprint is shown on the back of the postcard. Since no children are shown, it is likely to have been taken shortly after their marriage in 1911. At that time, the most likely type of camera used to produce this format would have employed glass plates, and is therefore less likely to have been in the hands of an amateur, since roll film cameras were easily available by then and were far more portable. It is likely, therefore, that this too was taken by a travelling, or at least roving, professional photographer.

Cabinet card portraits by Frank Day of Heanor

Although his portraits concentrate on the human subjects and give little prominence to the houses and gardens, Frank Day was another Derbyshire photographer who made a practice of visiting customer's homes in Heanor from the late 1890s until about 1912. The Ray Street address given on some of his cabinet card mounts is where he was living in 1901, so perhaps he had a darkroom and processing facility at home, but no studio. It is interesting to note that in April 1911 the census shows him near Pontypridd in Wales. He described himself as a photographer working on his own account, so perhaps he was preparing for the influx of spring visitors to Wales. If so this would lend support to Gail's idea that such photographers may have followed the seasonal trade.

I have many portraits taken in similar settings, sadly now bereft of any documentation to demonstrate how the photographer and client found each other. More often than not, they don't even have the photographer's imprint or location to show where they are from. For a more affluent family, I suspect that a studio photographer might be summoned from his regular premises to the client's home, and would perhaps expect to charge somewhat above his standard studio rate for the extra effort involved. However, a less well known practitioner sans premises in the High Street, and consequently without the attached overhead expenses, who was touting for business by door-knocking in a residential suburb might be able to reduce his charges to somewhat less than the going rate in order to attract customers. I suppose it was a niche readily filled by those without the resources to rent and fit out expensive studios with backdrops, furniture and props.
I suspect I've moved well away from the theme that most Sepians will follow this week, so if you want some variety, please pay them a visit. There are a few to get around, so it might be an idea to bookmark Sepia Saturday and make it a regular haunt.

What: Paprika (Capsicum Annuum) is a spice derived from the Capsicum pepper. It is rich in vitamin C and contains more vitamin C than lemon juice by weight. Paprika is also high in other antioxidants, containing about 10% of the level found in Açaí berries. It is commonly used as a natural, red pigment to tint products and cosmetics. Paprika can also be used with henna to bring a reddish tint to the hair or skin when coloring it. (Wiki).
Origin: Paprika was first produced in Spain, as that country was also responsible for the introduction of the bell pepper into Europe. In Spain, paprika is known as Pimentón, and is available in numerous varieties; pimentón ahumado, for example has a distinct smokey flavor and aroma, as it is dried by smoking, typically using oak wood. Hungary is a major source of paprika and is thus more commonly used (Wiki).
Products Found In: Paprika is found in cosmetic products like lip gloss and hair care products like shampoos, treatments, conditioners and dyes.
Toxicity: Paprika is generally designated as safe for general or specific, limited use in food and cosmetic products. It has been shown to produce strong allergic reactions in some people. (EWG).

SOLYX® Installation Instructions for Adhesive and Static Cling Films
Window Film Installation Tools
Tools: Scissors, Tape Measure, Razor Knife, Ruler, Plastic Card Squeegee, Spray Bottle, and Paper Towel.
Window Film Installation Video
- Clean the areas to which the film is to be applied, removing all traces of dirt, grime, grease, etc.
- Carefully measure the height and width of the glass surface. Oversize the film up to 1″ extra material on each side of the film and cut the film to this size.
- Create wetting solution by adding 8 drops (a one second short squeeze) of our SOLYX Wetting Solution or a very mild detergent (baby shampoo or dish detergent like "Joy" or "Dawn"(DO NOT USE HAND SOAP!) into spray bottle filled with water. Dish detergents with moisturizers will cloud the adhesive.
- Lay the cut-to-size decorative film on a clean, flat surface with the release liner up, or have someone hold the piece to be applied for you.
- Remove the release liner and spray the now exposed adhesive surface thoroughly with the wetting solution. (Tip: Place piece of scotch tape on both sides of window film, use tape to peel down release liner)
- Spray Hands with Wetting Solution before touching exposed portions of film to prevent damaging adhesive
- Apply a generous amount of the wetting solution to the glass. The wetting solution prevents the film from sticking to the surface immediately, thereby allowing you more time in which to properly position the film.
- Pick up Film by two top corners, Hold straight to avoid crinkling film.
- Place the now wet film onto the clean glass surface.
- Keep top edge level with outer edges overlapping frame.
- Film should flow smoothly over glass.
- Wet the face of the film to be squeegeed. Use squeegee and squeegee from the center out towards the edges pulling out any remaining air bubbles and wetting solution.
- Check that the film is flat and smooth.
- If any bubbles remain after Step 4, then use hard card wrapped in paper towel to push them out towards the closest edge.
- Trim the excess film from the edges of the surface. It is ideal to cut in one continuous movement, using the ruler and razor knife.
- Use the paper towels for cleaning the glass surface and for the absorption of excess wetting solution around the edges.
- The film may take a few days to dry in order for it to completely adhere to the glass surface.
Additional Installation Tips:
- Check the glass to make sure the surface is smooth. Spray the glass with soapy water and use a single edge razor blade to shave the surface. There should be no "clicking" sounds from the glass as the blade passes across the surface.
- Make sure the water is clean and use a new spray bottle. Do not use well water. Do not use hand soap.
- The glass must be sprayed and squeegeed clean and not wiped.
- Rinse/dip fingers in water before handling the film once the liner is removed. This will assist in keeping the adhesive from imprinting fingerprints.
- Before applying the window film, ensure the surrounding area is clean and that no fans or wind is blowing.
- A good squeegee is needed to squeegee all the water from behind the film.
- The surface to which the film will be applied should be very clean, free of dirt, dust particles, and silicone. Make sure there are no dry spots on the film prior to placing it onto the glass.
- Take care that when removing the release liner from adhesive backed films that the film does not roll over onto itself. It will stick together and is difficult to pull apart. Wet the film as the liner is removed!
Tip to remove liner: To separate the liner from the film, take two pieces of scotch tape and stick them opposite each other at one corner, then pull these two pieces of tape apart and the liner will separate from the film. The adhesive surface will now be exposed. Wet this adhesive surface. Do not let the film fall upon itself as it will stick if not wet and it will be hard to separate!
Seaming Films: For windows that are wider than the available width of SOLYX® films, Industry standards allow for seaming. Standard installation for seaming is a butt-join type seam. The films are overlapped and cut through with a sharp blade using a straight edge. The excess films are removed. A slight light line may appear. This is normally the width of the blade point. This is acceptable.
Under reasonable weather conditions, film will dry flat with no blisters within 30 days, when viewed under normal viewing conditions. Normal viewing conditions are viewing treated windows from a distance of ten feet from the room side, at angles of up to 45 degrees, looking at a clear or uniformly overcast sky. Since a particle-free application is possible only under sterile conditions, there may be small amounts of dust or grit caught between the film and glass.
There may be a small amount of water left behind the film, particularly with the thicker films. Please be patient. Within approximately 60-90 days, this water will evaporate through the film.
Maintenance – Cleaning and Care
We recommend only SimGlas® Window Film Cleaner and microfiber cloth.
The frequency of cleaning will not affect the film in any way.
Some paper towels are coarse enough to scratch the film. Repeated use of improper cleaning implements and/or solutions will damage the appearance of the film.

text: Thursday, August 02, 2012 CMS to Release Follow-up Comparative Billing Report on August 6 On Monday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will release a follow-up Comparative Billing Report (CBR) to the 5,000 independent physical therapy providers who received the report in 2010. The CBR shows KX modifier use for 5 codes commonly billed by physical therapists. The report will be the same format as the CBR released in 2010. However, this CBR will use 2011 billing data, intending to inform providers of any change in use since receiving the original CBR. The CBRs are produced by Safeguard Services under contract with CMS and contain data-driven tables and graphs with an explanation of findings that compare nationally and statewide physical therapist billing and payment patterns with the KX modifier. Safeguard Services has indicated to APTA that these reports are only educational rather than punitive, intending to prevent improper billing and use of the KX modifier. For more information regarding these Outpatient Physical Therapy Services CBRs, visit CBR Services' website or call the SafeGuard Services' provider help desk, CBR support team, at 530/896-7080.

Cetera Financial Group announced today a definitive agreement to acquire Tower Square Securities and Walnut Street Securities, two venerable independent broker-dealers owned by MetLife (MET).
Under the deal, the 800-plus advisors in those two IBDs will become part of Cetera Advisor Networks, the former Financial Network Investment Corp. (FNIC) broker-dealer and one of Cetera's four IBDs, which has a business model similar to the acquired BDs where individual reps work with "super-OSJs," or what Cetera calls regional managers.
When the acquisition is complete, which Cetera CEO Valerie Brown said could happen within three to four months, Craig Markham, president and CEO of Tower Square and Walnut Street, will join Cetera Advisor Networks as senior vice president of advisor relations. In that role, Markham will have responsibility not only for sales and support but also for the transition of the two firms into the Cetera family.
In an interview Friday, Brown and Doug King (left), CEO of Cetera Advisor Networks, spoke of the acquisition process and how Cetera is speaking to reps at the MetLife IBDs.
Brown declined to provide any financial details on the acquisition, saying only that both MetLife and Cetera will seek approval from FINRA for closing the purchase. Adding the 800 representatives and their $25 billion in assets under management from the to-be-acquired BDs would give Cetera a total of more than 7,000 advisors and more than $130 billion in assets.
"We realize that advisors have a choice in where they put their business," said Brown, who reported that the Cetera team had spoken to a number of Tower Square and Walnut Street's super-OSJs. "We need to earn" those reps' business every day, she said, adding that the Tower Square and Walnut Street reps would benefit from ownership that is solely focused on their business and is thus "not competing for capital." King said the geographic dispersion of reps at the two firms will give Cetera Advisor Networks a much stronger presence in the Midwest and the Northeast.
In addition, since Cetera, Walnut Street and Tower Square have the same clearing firm—Pershing—King said there "won't be a lot of repapering" for reps and their end clients. While MetLife had a good platform, he said, those reps Cetera has spoken to are excited at the kind of support—in marketing, technology, succession planning and especially social media—that Cetera's scale can provide. He and Brown, King said, will be "on the road telling that story for several weeks" to additional reps from the two MetLife IBDs.
As for what the acquisition means to Cetera over all, Brown (right) said "this is a significant add to our scale," noting that Cetera would hire additional support staff in its California and Des Moines, Iowa, service centers, and would be "making offers" to more associates at Tower Square and Walnut Street.
"We believe we have the best of both worlds," with its four different BDs serving specific groups of advisors, she said. "When we have an opportunity for a recruit, we say 'let's see what fits you best." Moreover, "when an acquisition is a good cultural fit," she said, and can help individual reps grow, "it's important for our growth."
Broadly speaking, Brown said Cetera was interested in "advisors, branches and firms that are interested in prudent growth, in learning new ideas and embracing change." More concretely, she voiced Cetera's support for dually registered advisors who are "focused on serving their clients through all phases of their lives."
As for what differentiates Cetera and is appealing to the MetLife IBD reps, "the fact that we support social media is a big, big win for their advisors," said King. He and Brown admitted that social media support has become "table stakes" for broker-dealers, arguing that firms that provide structure and support around social media will be the ones that succeed. Not only is "social media where websites were a decade ago," Brown said, so is mobile technology. "Mobile is critical," she said, promising that for Cetera "the next phase is building out our technology for mobile."
Almost a year ago to the day, Cetera acquired the Genworth Financial Investment Services broker-dealer, adding it to a network that included the then-named Financial Network Investment Corp., Multi-Financial Securities Corp. and PrimeVest Financial Services. In September, Cetera embarked on a renaming and rebranding process that has since been completed.
Under that initiative, Financial Network Investment Corp. was renamed Cetera Advisor Networks; Multi-Financial Securities Corp. became Cetera Advisors. Self-clearing PrimeVest Financial Services, which focuses exclusively on financial institutions—banks and credit unions—has become Cetera Financial Institutions, and Genworth Financial became Cetera Financial Specialists and maintain its focus on supporting tax and accounting professionals.
Cetera itself grew out of the ING broker-dealer network and is owned by the private equity firm Lightyear Capital.

Robert Aubrey Spink is my 1st cousin 3x removed. I mentioned him briefly in a Tombstone Tuesday post. He was born about 1883 and died on 18th April 1923. His gravestone says that he was "accidentally killed". So I just had to find out about the accident, what happened to Robert and the cause of his death.
I knew from the 1911 census that he was living in Leeds at the time. I guessed that the local newspapers would have covered the story. There is a really good family and local history department at Leeds Central Library so that was my starting point. The newspaper archives for the period are on microfilm and it didn't take long to find two stories about the fatal accident in the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Here is the first article from the Yorkshire Evening Post on 19th April 1923.
A fatal collision between two motor-cyclists took place on the Harrogate Road between Moortown and Alwoodley last night.
It appears that Mr Robert Aubrey Spink (40), of 22 Ash Road, Headingley, was cycling towards Leeds when he collided "head-on" with Mr Harry Greenwood (19) of 15 Union Terrace, Chapel Allerton, who was travelling in the opposite direction with Miss Peggy Stannard (18), a tailoress, of 26 Harehills Road, Leeds, as a passenger on the carrier.
All three were thrown violently into the road, and it was realised at once that the two riders were seriously injured. All were quickly taken to the Leeds General Infirmary, where Mr Spink, who had received severe injuries, died soon after admission.
Mr Greenwood is suffering from a fracture of the base of the skull, and his condition is serious.
He was still conscious this morning, but is stated to be going on as well as can be expected.
How the two riders happened to collide is not yet explained.
Miss Stannard is suffering with shock and bruises.
Seen by a representative of "The Yorkshire Evening Post" today, Miss Stannard, who looked well in spite of the shaking she received when the impact occurred, was unable to say how the accident happened.
"I was on the carrier," she said, "and we were going towards Harewood on our proper side of the road, and not, so far as I know, at an excessive speed."
"I did not see the other cyclist, and I do not know what happened except that I was thrown violently from my seat on the carrier, and found myself here."
"It was daylight when the collision occurred, but I do not know exactly what time it was, though it was near lighting up time."
Miss Stannard is likely to be about again in a day or two.
Mr Greenwood is a member of a family which is well known in the Chapel Allerton neighbourhood. He is a son of Mr James Greenwood, an old Leeds professional cricketer, and is following the occupation of market gardener with a view to taking up farming later.
At the time of the accident he was going to a bungalow rented by his father a few miles out in the country. The young people were visiting the bungalow with some small articles, and were to return later in the evening.
There appear to have been no actual witnesses of the accident.
It seems that Mr Spink had been having a round of golf at Moortown golf links, and was on his way home, carrying his clubs slung across his shoulder.
It is possible that the clubs may have become entangled with his handlebars and caused him to swerve.
Dr Jenkins, with a friend, was also returning from the golf links. The doctor reached the spot a few minutes after the smash, and attended to the victims of the smash pending the arrival of the ambulance.
Mr Spink was employed at the GPO, Leeds. He was a man of much promise and of considerable intellectual attainment.
Mr Spink had the reputation of being a very careful driver.
An inquest will be held tomorrow by the Leeds Coroner (Mr W H Clarke), and the funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon.
This was clearly a very tragic accident – but who, if anyone was to blame?
I will post the second newspaper article about the inquest next week.
