Celebrating 150 Years of the Mullan Military Wagon Road
By Ken Robison
During May 20-22, 2010, the River and Plains Society in Fort Benton will host the national 150th Anniversary Mullan Road Conference. This conference celebrates the completion of the Mullan Military Wagon Road in 1860, the first wagon road from Fort Benton to cross the Rocky Mountains to Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory, into the Inland of the Pacific Northwest. The 624-mile long Mullan Road joined the Missouri River with the Columbia River, blazing the path through the plains and valleys westward from Fort Benton into the rugged mountains of western Montana and Idaho. The road was built by US Army 1st Lieutenant John Mullan between the spring of 1859 and August 1860 with an expedition of some 230 combined military and civilian men. Parts of the original Mullan Road can still be traveled today, and, weather permitting, the Conference will included a field trip from Fort Benton into the Sun River valley past Birdtail Rock to the Dearborn River.
The Conference also will celebrate the arrival of the first steamboats at the Fort Benton levee July 2nd, 1860. When the Chippewa, commanded by Captain Joseph LaBarge, and the Key West, under Joseph's brother Captain John LaBarge, moored at Fort Bento's levee, it heralded the beginning of the steamboat era at the head of navigation on the Missouri River. Aboard the two steamers, belonging to Pierre Chouteau & Company (known as the American Fur Company), were owners Pierre and Charles Chouteau, their agents Fort Benton "Factors" Andrew Dawson and Alexander Culbertson, Indian agents, company employees, military supplies, and Indian trade goods. Also onboard the crowded steamboats were Major George A. H. Blake and his First Dragoons, some 300 soldiers who were poised to become the first, and last, direct military users of the Mullan Road on their way to Washington Territory.
A final exploration group arrived at Fort Benton in that amazing summer of 1860 before Lieut. Mullan, to await steamboat passage down the Missouri. The Military Reconnaissance Expedition of Captain William F. Raynolds had spent the past year exploring the Yellowston basin and had come down the Missouri River from the Three Forks, past the Great Falls of the Missouri, to arrive at Fort Benton July 14th. With the Raynolds Expedition was topographer Lieutenant James Dempsey Hutton, who took the first known photograph of the Fort Benton trading post from across the Missouri River. During that summer of 1860, there was no town of Fort Benton, only the trading post, and an opposition post, Fort Campbell, which by the spring of 1860 had been bought by Pierre Chouteau & Company. Yet, in the words of John Strachan, one of Mullan's men, "Fort Benton has everything . . . a bakery, blacksmith, carpenter and cooper shops, trade offices for buying, others for selling and retail shops. Goods are sold at enormous prices . . . sugar is sold at $1 and up a pound and everything else in proportion. Business amounts to about $160,000 a year, with buffalo robes the staple of the trade."
The 150th Anniversary Conference will begin May 20th late Thursday afternoon with a tour of Old Fort Benton, the reconstructed American Fur Company fur and robe trading post built in 1846-47 at the head of navigation on the Missouri River. Resident Mountain Man "Burnt Spoon" will lead the tour group into the 1850's past to see the original Block House (Montana's oldest permanent structure), the newly reconstructed log Stockade and Bourgeois House (the Factor's Quarters), and into the Trade Store and Warehouse where the River & Plains Society will host an evening reception in the fur trade museum. The River and Plains Society is the non-profit that operates the museums complex in Fort Benton and the Joel F. Overholser Historical Research Center. A Fort Restoration Committee leads the effort to reconstruct Old Fort Benton.
Friday will be held at the Montana Agricultrual Center-Lippard Auditorium beginning with regional Mullan Road activity reports from Washington state, Idaho, and Montana. Morning presentations will include: "John Mullan Road Builder: An Army Case Study" by U. S. Military Academy instructor and Yale University doctoral student Ryan Shaw "Artists Gustavus Sohon and John Mix Stanley Images Along the Mullan Road" by Dr. Paul McDermott of Maryland; "Early Travelers Along the Mullan Road" by Lee Hanchett, author of Montana's Benton Road; and "Natural Resources along the Road" by Dr. John E. Taylor of Helena. The luncheon speaker will be Cultural Historian Bob Doerk discussing "Inni - The Buffalo of the Plains."
Friday afternoon talks and demonstrations will include: "Mullan Road On-Line Resources Including a Google Earth Mullan Road Fly-Thru" by Dr. Bill Youngs of Eastern Washington University, and Ron Hall; "Sampling the Minckler Mullan Road Collection" which includes unique photographs, diaries, and material from Mullan's wagonmaster John A. Creighton, by Art Historian Thomas Minckler and Ken Robison; "Through Indian Country: Native American Perspectives on Mullan and Regional Development" by Dr. Richard Scheuerman of Seattle Pacific University; and "Actions to Designate the Mullan Road a National Historic Trail" led by Courtney Kramer, Gallatin County Historic Preservation Officer. Friday evening will feature a reception and dinner with Bruce Druliner aka "Burnt Spoon" bringing to life "Old Fort Benton in the 1850s through stories and songs."
Saturday morning begins with "Surveying along the Mullan Road" by Montana surveyor re-enactor Bill Weikel, followed by a field trip into the Sun River valley with bus guide commentary about the route of the Mullan Road and key historic, cultural, and geological features. Stops will be made at Sun River Leaving (Vaughn), Sun River Crossing, St. Peter's Mission, and a box lunch at Birdtail Rock Stage Stop. Weather permitting the tour will continue on over Birdtail Divide to Dearborn Crossing and on to Fort Shaw. At this historic fort, Dick Thoroughman and other members of the Sun River Valley Historical Society will show General Gibbon's original Military Quarters and will talk about Sun River valley history including the military at Fort Shaw Military Post and the later famed Indian Industrial School.

BROCKTON – Adelina Nunes stood up from a church pew Friday morning, walked to her son's white casket and placed both hands on top as she sobbed.
A friend in another pew quickly stood up next to her, hugged her and wiped tears from her eyes with a tissue.
Nunes was grieving the death of her 12-year-old son Nazaire Nunes-Escobar, who was tragically killed on his birthday, Thursday, Aug. 14, when he was struck by a tractor-trailer in Brockton.
Nunes was surrounded by hundreds of family members and friends at St. Edith Stein Parish in Brockton on Friday during her son's wake and funeral Mass.
Wails of anguish echoed off the walls inside the church as people lined the aisles to pay respects to Nazaire and offer condolences to Nunes and the rest of her family.
The grieving mother gathered her strength to hug and shake the hand of every person who went through the line.
It's something a mother should never have to go through, Father Carlos Suarez said.
"There's always pain when we have to let go of a loved one from this world. But it hurts even more so when it's such a young person," Suarez told the congregation. "It's not the way things should be. A mother should not have to bury her child. It's the other way it should be."
Suarez said people are right to be saddened, confused and angered by Nazaire's death. Nazaire, he said, is now a saint, and people should use his death as a way to strengthen their relationship with God.
After Suarez spoke, Nazaire's 6-year-old sister, Mya Depina, sang the song "I Love You," – from the children's television show "Barney & Friends" – into a microphone.
When the Mass ended, several of Nazaire's family members surrounded his casket and carried it down the front steps of the church.
Michael Depina, who helped carry the casket, was wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of Nazaire on the front.
Depina is Nazaire's cousin, and his 8-year-old son, Jordan Depina, were best friends.
"It's hard because we love him," Michael Depina, 30, said crying. "He was always happy, smiling. He was a jokester."
"We did everything. It was us three amigos on the weekends, playing sports, going to his football games, going fishing, going to the Cape for the weekend," Depina said.
He said his family is taking Nazaire's death day by day and told his son Jordan, "He's gone to the angels. He's watching over us."
Carol McGrath also attended the service. She was Nazaire's principal at Raymond Elementary School in Brockton from when he was in kindergarten.
"The whole Raymond School community is grieving the loss of Nazaire," McGrath said. "He had a beautiful smile, he was a fun-loving boy and we just all feel this very deeply."
McGrath said she has been in contact with Nazaire's family members, neighbors and fellow students at the Raymond school since his death.
"No words can describe how tough it is and how badly everybody feels," she said. "We're all going to stick together."
A miles-long procession was led by police from the church to Calvary Cemetery on North Cary Street in Brockton, where he was laid to rest.
In tears, with family members at her side, Nunes placed a white rose atop Nazaire's casket.
After the burial service, people took turns releasing white and gold balloons and watching them float into the air.

Ottery St Mary petanque Charity Shield event is a roaring success
PUBLISHED: 07:11 16 May 2014 | UPDATED: 07:11 16 May 2014
Despite the showery and windy conditions last Sunday three late entries turned up to make a total of 19 teams competing for the Charity Shield with funds raised going to Hospicecare, writes Dave West.
The competition was run on a five-league basis from which play-offs for the Shield and Plate knockout finals were decided.
In the interval between the two playing sessions, pointing and shooting competitions were held to boost fund raising, and Sue Smith and Derek Hansen ensured that no-one missed the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for the many generously donated prizes.
The day offered a great opportunity to meet up with old friends from outside the Devon Region.
There were some keenly fought and enjoyable games throughout the day, but finally just four clubs took all the honours between them - defeated Ottery teams declaring that staging the event was reward enough!
Dave and Margaret West even won a raffle prize - the bottle of wine that they'd donated! (As ye give, so shall ye receive?)
The Shield winners were Franck and Bethanie Depreaux from Chudleigh who defeated Thierry Hacq and John Baxter, also from Chudleigh, 13-8.
The Plate winners were Dave and Rose Piggin from the Tregony Petanque Club, Cornwall who defeated Rob and Jean Brealey of the Isca club 13-10.
In the other competitions played the winner of the Shooting was Graeme Kirkham of the Tregony club whulst Isca's Ted Brown won the Pointing competition.
Organiser and manager, Ottery chairman John Thatcher, was able to confirm that a total of £387.10 had been raised - the 10p had been picked up and not claimed!

"I think as a general matter the mood in the room was a lot better this year. I don't think anyone gets everything done, but I hope very much that this new Congress will get a chance between elections to actually work together to do some big things."
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.
"He carried on his theme in the campaign, let's grow the economy from the middle-class out. … I think there is a thaw underway, here we saw it with the fiscal cliff deal … I'm optimistic we see that thaw continue and that we can pass common sense measures."
Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo.
"Objectively I thought it was very well delivered. There were some goals we can all aspire to, like how to develop responsible energy resources at home. … When he (Obama) was talking about tax reform, I think it needs to be complete tax reform, you can't be picking winners and losers."
Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez
"He said some things we can all agree with: Supporting the military, defeating al-Qaeda … But there were some things that made me scratch my head, like saying the Affordable Care Act is lowering health care costs already is simply not the case ."
Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs
"I think he presented abold agenda, items that are really important like universal preschool, improving high schools that prepare young people for the workforce and immigration reform. I think there's a real opportunity to work on bipartisan legislation to work on many of these issues."
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder
I liked when he talked about comprehensive immigration reform, and of course I liked the passages on gun-violence prevention."
Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Jefferson County
"Strengthening the spirit of America doesn't mean more bureaucracy. It means economic health and growth through small business, not big government."
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Gardner
"I strongly applaud his efforts to bring our troops home. I worry that his plan to spur the economy and to create more jobs will result in more spending and bigger deficits."
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora
"I share President Obama's repeated call tonight to set aside partisan politics and work for the good of all Americans; and I believe it can be done."
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo.

If you like your fashion full of color and whimsy (looking at you, Mondo from Project Runway) then you'll dig the duds Prada showed in Milan today. Grab your favorite star-bellied Sneetch and check out the gallery!
Would you wear this in a box? Would you wear this with a fox?
Insert your own, "the goggles, they do nothing" joke.
Willy Wonka's wife. Or sister?
This actually seems wearable, although the neck ruffle is a mite fussy.
How To Make This Prada Ensemble At Home:
Get an overly large white T-shirt and cut it into a slipdress.
Find some transfer paper.
In photoshop, take a famous illustration of Josephine Baker. Put an octopus where the bananas should be. Add a strawberry.
Add some other random curlicues.
Print your design and iron it on to your t-shirt dress.
Sew Froot Loops to the hem as a garnish.
Serves one.
It will be interesting to see who in Hollywood will attempt to pull this off. I vote for Janice Dickinson.
Aha! That's what happened to Joséphine's bananas. Also, bring back the goggles. This is an eye-scorcher.
More rooty tooty fresh n' fruity. With delicious shoes.
Gah. The sunglasses are right on that edge of appealing and appalling. If only affording this kind of Chocolate Factory chic didn't involve selling an organ. These would be fun!
SHOES. WANT. No, really. NEED.
(RIP cheshire cat.)
A nurse at the hospital where Rainbow Brite was born.
The concentric circles are so dizzying, it's like smoking Grickle-grass.

The B.C. Securities Commission has accused three men of defrauding investors in the failed Sage Hills development in Royston.
In a notice of hearing, the BCSC alleges that Theodore Robert Everett, Leonard George Ralph and Robert H. Duke, and two B.C. companies, committed fraud and illegally distributed securities.
The notice alleges that between 2002 and 2011, Independent Academies Canada raised $7.3 million from at least 150 investors to develop a business concept combining sports, educational, wellness and residential components into one complex. In 2006, IAC purchased the 2,083-acre Sage Hills property. Everett, Ralph and Duke are all directors and officers of IAC.
In a news release, the BCSC says at least 122 investors had spent nearly $6 million. IAC filed 36 exempt distribution reports purporting to rely on exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements. The commission contends that only 15 of the investors qualified for an exemption, thereby rendering much of the distribution illegal.
In 2009, foreclosure proceedings were commenced against the property. The notice alleges the respondents committed fraud by failing to disclose this information while continuing to market and sell IAC securities to 61 investors, raising about $1.49 million.
With federal funds, the Province purchased the Sage Hills property. The Supreme Court of B.C. approved the deal in September.
Victoria-based IAC planned to build a private sports academy and a K to 12 school that included specialized university programs. The company also wanted to create an ice sheet and a regional park where the property borders the Trent River.
The land will be included in the final settlement package in K'ómoks First Nation treaty negotiations, says the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation.

FEMA Launches Rapid-Repair System For Home Repairs
Some New Jersey residents whose homes were damaged in Superstorm Sandy can now get grants of up to $10,000 for quick repairs.
Gov. Chris Christie announced Friday that people with certain storm-related damage to their homes in Atlantic, Cape May, Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean Counties are now eligible for the Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power pilot program.
Under the program, residents can apply to their municipal governments for grants for repairs to electrical meters, heat and hot-water systems, and emergency exterior repairs.
The federal government is to pay 75 percent of the costs and the local governments 25 percent.
The same program launched just after the storm hit in New York City.

Part 1 is November 12, 2013
Part 2 is December 11, 2013 (Location TBA)

To celebrate both dates, we have two Manitoba Specific multi event coins, one for each event. (Reservation details here. http://www.mbgeocaching.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2048&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)
What else? Wings and Jets of course! Tuesdays at Boogies is Wings night and that night, the Winnipeg Jets are playing in town! We'll be in the diner out front, but we'll get the game on and cheer on the home team!
We will be in the diner section of Boogies, so mini Geocachers are welcome to join us.
The Manitoba November Coin
Ignore that it says USA version, that's the date scheme. Where you see white on the outer ring of both coins, this is bare metal with no paint. The November coin will be Antique Silver.

Welcome to Friends of Jesus! Gathering across Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia, we are building friendships as we explore the Bible, pray together, and experience the living presence of God. We are a community growing in the way of Jesus.
We seek to be a loving community that listens and responds to Jesus as we experience him in our hearts and in our midst. We equip one another to discover and use our spiritual gifts; learn to follow Jesus in our daily lives; and live as peacemakers, agents of God's justice and reconciliation.
Everything we are and do together flows out of the relationships and trust that we develop in our small groups. Small groups are communities of roughly 6-12 people who gather together for mutual support, to explore the Bible, and to learn how to pray and experience the presence of God more deeply. Our small groups are always open to new participants, so let us know if you'd like to get connected.
We currently have two small groups – one in suburban Maryland, and another based in the District of Columbia.
Our Vision and Mission
A good way to get a sense of our beliefs and character as a community would be to take a look at our Mission and Vision. For more details, you can check out our shared Commitments, and our Advices and Queries, our expression of Quaker faith and practice. Of course, the best way to get to know us would be to spend some time with us!

There's something rude about it and I like that.
Do you feel shame shivers?
Fred is a well-cultured oaf in Carlo's hands.
His poses are off-balance yet flowing at the same time.
I like the early episodes when they drew Fred's hair with blunt ends.
Carlo hardly ever has the hands doing the same thing. Usually one is up, the other down. And they alternate. moving back and forth.
He loves to flop their noses around too. It grabs Wilma's attention for sure.
Barney is a peeping Tom in all the episodes.Carlo has very distinct scrambles and zip outs.
Note the DVNR on the toes and the hair.
Carlo Vinci has heart
Carlo's style is really easy to see when you contrast it to Ken Muse, who doesn't add much to the layout poses. Ken Muse:I can recognize Muse's style by how even and straight up and down everything is.
Compare to Carlo:Carlo likes to use a zig-zag line of action in his poses, like Fred above. Awkward-elegance. I don't know any other animator who does that.
He also does the best nose-molestation. If you wanna see that, I can put some up tomorrow.

Defining Aggression
Following the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and the numerous wars among the onetime member states of the former Yugoslavia, the 1999 Treaty of Rome established the International Criminal Court to end impunity for crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. While the court's mandate also included the crime of aggression, a review meeting the last two weeks in Kampala, Uganda, wrestled with defining that crime and establishing related rules for the court's jurisdiction. A major issue is whether the court should leave the identification of the crime of aggression to the United Nations Security Council on the grounds that naming aggression involves political judgment. Smaller nations, not wanting to leave the decision to the Big Five on the Security Council (Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and the United States) propose instead moving it to the General Assembly—whose actions are even more political.
In its short history, the court has made serious advances in extending the rule of law to states, establishing warrants for Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir for genocide in Darfur and Joseph Kony, the notorious leader of the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, for crimes against humanity. While some African leaders are among the court's foremost critics, others argue that it has already made a substantial contribution to establishing the rule of law across that continent. Its record suggests that in the future it may even be able to address the question of aggression where major powers are involved. It is unreasonable to think that international law should be applied only to lesser powers and emerging states and not to major powers. A possible compromise lies in allowing the Security Council to retain jurisdiction for a stated period of time, with jurisdiction reverting to the court once that time has elapsed.
National Day of Prayer
Is a national day of prayer unconstitutional? Yes, ruled a federal judge in Wisconsin, Barbara Crabb, in mid-April, because such a statute points to "an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function." Her ruling stemmed from a lawsuit brought by the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which claimed that a national day of prayer violated the separation of church and state. Last year, the Obama administration asked Judge Crabb to dismiss the organization's case, and she has stayed her ruling pending the completion of appeals.
The issue of a national day of prayer arose as far back as 1775, when the Continental Congress called for one in the course of forming a new nation. Two decades later President John Adams set May 9 as a day not only of prayer but also of fasting at a time when the United States was at odds with France. In his proclamation in 1863, Abraham Lincoln also called for a national day of prayer and fasting as the Civil War ground on, in the hope that "genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon" for "our presumptuous sins."
Congress finally established a national day of prayer in 1952, and in 1988 it set the first Thursday in May as the day for presidents to issue a proclamation asking Americans to pray. With wars raging in the Middle East and Central Asia—whatever the outcome of Judge Crabb's ruling—the proclamation may seem to many not unreasonable, especially when we too might accuse ourselves, in Lincoln's words, of "presumptuous sins."
A Win-Win Situation
On a playing field in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, Vince Lombardi's slogan, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing," would have been clearly out of place. The junior varsity girls softball team from Roncalli Catholic High was set to play Marshall Community, an inner-city middle school playing its first softball game ever.
After nine Roncalli girls were walked by the Marshall pitcher, the girls realized there is more to sports than crushing the opponent. They probably could have won 100 to 0. Roncalli had not lost a game in over two years but decided to offer to forfeit the game rather than humiliate the Marshall girls.
What happened next? The Roncalli team spent the next two hours teaching the Marshall girls how to get better instead of beaten. Together they practiced batting and fielding, running bases and how to use the equipment the Roncalli girls shared with them. Marshall had come with only two bats, no helmets, no cleats and five balls.
Even after the game, this spirit continued. Roncalli's J.V. coach, Jeff Taylor, appealed to the parents of his girls for equipment for Marshall—used bats, gloves, helmets and team shirts. Reebok and the Cincinnati Reds also contributed to assist the Marshall girls. Instead of an embarrassing blowout victory for Roncalli, the loss became a win for everyone.
Blessed Pope John XXIII, after whom Roncalli Catholic is named, once remarked that he especially enjoyed being with children because they did not take him to be a pope with fancy robes, but simply an old man. We are sure he looked down with smiles upon the childlike spirit and friendliness of the two softball teams that day.
For him, it was the greatest moment in sports.

The Many Looks of Fashion Week All-Star Olivia Palermo
Truman Capote wrote of legendary socialite, Babe Pailey; "Mrs. P. had only one fault: She was perfect; otherwise, she was perfect." We feel the same way about Palermo, who, even when plagued by jetlag and fashion show burnout, strikes a pose with nary a hair out of place. Bask in her sartorial greatness (and shop her looks), here.

Palermo wore Nina Ricci to the fashion house's Paris show, opting for a bustier, Stretch Wool-Blend Crepe Jacket ($1,690), and Pencil Skirt ($835), together with Stuart Weitzman pumps.
She was later seen at the Veronique Leroy show in the same Nina Ricci jacket, which she paired with a Susan Woo blouse, AG Legging Ankle Jeans ($225), Aquazzura Beverly Hill Suede Cut Out Lace Up Shoes ($745, available in black), and sold-out Westward Leaning Sleeping Beauty Sunglasses.
Enjoying a well-earned date night with her beau at Parisian eatery, Orient Extreme, she wore a Chloe Polka-Dot Layered Tulle Skirt ($3,606) and Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Today is my dad's birthday. This cake, made with a lot of love, is my humble attempt at giving him a very special present on this wonderful day.
Happy birthday papito! I love you!
This cake consists of Brazil nut sponge cake layers with baba de moça filling covered with meringue frosting. Baba de moça is a traditional Brazilian recipe. This egg coconut custard cream is a common filling for birthday cakes and pastries. Made basically with coconut milk, egg yolks and sugar syrup has a suave flavor that it's perfectly paired with a nut sponge cake.
I was surprised with the crunch and moist texture provided by the Brazil nuts. And the taste was wonderful! I prepared a meringue frosting and I also used coconut flakes and meringue kisses to add a heavenly look.
A Birthday Cake for my Dad
Brazil Nut Sponge Cake
(Makes 2 discs 6-in pans. You will need 2 discs to make 4 layers.)
4 eggs
125g sugar
150g Brazil Nuts
7 tablespoons Rice flour
Preheat the oven to 340°F/ 170°C.
Place the Brazil Nuts and rice flour in a food processor. Process until the Brazil Nuts are finely ground.
In a large bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale.
Right away, gently combine the ground Brazil nuts into the eggs with a rubber spatula. Start with the spatula in the center of the bowl, work up the sides of the bowl and bring the mixture back down towards the center, all the while turning the bowl regularly. Continue until you have a smooth and homogenous mixture.
Transfer the batter to 2 greased 6-inch baking pan and bake for approximately 20 minutes until lightly colored. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Baba de Moça (Egg Coconut Custard Cream)
6 egg yolks
200ml coconut milk
250g sugar
½ cup water
Place sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook sugar syrup, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 194 F / 90 C degrees. Let the syrup in the pan to cool.
Pass the egg yolks through a sieve. In a bowl, mix the eggs yolks with the coconut milk with a rubber spatula until well combined.
When the syrup are chilled, pour the egg and coconut mixture over the sugar syrup. Over medium heat, stir the mixture until thick consistency. Blend with a handheld immersion blender and set aside to cool.
Meringue Frosting
(from here)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
5 large egg whites, room temperature
Bring 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water to a boil, stirring. Wash down side of pan with a wet pastry brush, and cook sugar syrup, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees.
Meanwhile, beat egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
Add sugar syrup in a slow, steady stream down side of bowl. Beat on high speed until thick, fluffy, and cool, about 7 minutes.
3 tablespoons coconut milk
100g coconut flakes
Divide each cake disc to make 4 layers. Place one layer cake on a serving plate. Brush with 1 tablespoon coconut milk. Spread ¼ to 1/3 cup baba de moça over top. Repeat to make 2 more layers of each. Top with remaining cake. Cover with meringue frosting. Decorate with coconut flakes.

Last week on the Performance Bike Facebook page we asked folks to post questions about bikes or cycling that they wanted an answer to, in a segment we called #AskPerformance. Today we're going to answer some of your questions below, but if you've got other vexing cycling queries, please post them in the comments below and we'll do our best to find you an answer!
Ron S.: Is it too much to have more than 5 bikes? 😉 #AskPerformance
Ah, the age-old question – the most quoted saying is that the "correct number of bikes to own is 'n+1', where 'n' is the number of bikes currently owned". Of course there is an important corollary to this rule, which is 's-1', "where 's' is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your significant other".
Michael S.: #AskPerformance Has the industry established a lifespan projection for carbon fiber frames and components?
There is no standardized lifespan for carbon fiber, as it will depend on how the frame or component is used. That said, there's no reason carbon fiber can't last for a very long time – the key is to take care of it properly, only tighten bolts to their recommended torque settings, and inspect it for wear or damage from time to time. We've got a great article of tips on our Learning Center: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bikes-and-frames/taking-good-care-of-your-carbon-bike-frame
Darrell M.: When you shift gears, and the chain moves more than one gear, what is the typical cause and solution?
One main culprit could be a rear derailleur hanger that has come out of alignment – if that is bent (say from setting the bike down on its drive side), then no amount of derailleur adjustment will result in perfect shifting. Another issue could be incorrect routing of the cable to the derailleur bolt – if you've changed your cable lately take a look at the instructions for your derailleur to make sure you've got that right. If you've ruled out a bent hanger and poor cable routing, then you should next take a look at your rear derailleur itself – we've got a video in our Learning Center that covers adjusting your rear derailleur: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bike-parts-and-components/how-to-adjust-a-rear-derailleur
Daisy L.: How many miles before a chain needs to be replaced??
A good rule of thumb is somewhere around 1,500 to 2,000 miles for a road bike, and somewhere around 5-6 months for a mountain bike (assuming that you are riding a fair amount). But these are just general guidelines – to really understand when you should replace your chain you'll need to measure chain stretch. Chains may be metal, but over time they can actually stretch out quite a bit – we've got a handy video that gives you the details of what to look for: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bike-parts-and-components/how-to-measure-bike-chain-wear
Lidia L.: What is the best way to clean your cogs ? And with what would u clean them with ? Thx 's
Cleaning your whole bike is one of the most important things that you can do to prolong the life of your bike and keep it running in tip-top condition (just ask any pro team mechanic). Luckily it's not that difficult if you follow the how-to on our Learning Center, which covers everything from cleaning your rear cassette to lubing your shifters and brake levers: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bikes-and-frames/basic-maintenance-how-to-clean-your-bike For the rear cassette, the basic technique is to spray some degreaser onto a cog brush, then wipe down each of the cogs to get the gunk off.
Howard H.: How often should I rotate my tires?
Rotating your tires front to rear is a great idea to increase the longevity of the pair, but keep in mind that most steering control, both off-road and on, comes from the front tire, while more tire wear happens with the drive forces on the rear. So putting a road tire worn flat or a MTB tire with worn lugs on the front will lessen traction when cornering hard. To prolong the life of your tires, save some money and keep high performance traction, ride your tires until the rear is worn out, move the front tire to the rear, and put a grippy new tire on the front. Need some tips on changing tires? We can help with that: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/tires-tubes-and-wheels/how-to-change-a-road-bike-tire
Enrique L.: Just started riding my bike again like a month ago. but now that the cold weather is upon us what is the best gear for weather of around 40° which is probably the average temp he in the bay area.
The key to riding in changeable fall and winter riding conditions is dressing in layers. You want to keep your core and extremities warm when you get started, but then have the ability to remove and change layers s you get warmed up or if the temperature changes. We call this the 15 minute rule… if after 15 minutes of riding, if you're still cold, you need more layers or warmer clothing. If you're uncomfortably hot after 15 minutes, remove layers or wear cooler clothing. We recommend: a medium weight short sleeve base layer, bib shorts, long sleeve jersey, leg warmers, a windproof vest or jacket, windproof full-finger gloves, an ear band or beanie, and toe warmers. You can find all of our cold-weather recommendations here: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/cycling-clothing/dressing-for-the-season-essential-cycling-layering-tips
Maureen K.: A few yrs ago, I switched from riding a hybrid bike to a road bike. On the hybrid, had no problem standing up,out of saddle to get up hills. I've had bike fit done on road bike – it fits me sooo much better now, but I am still not comfortable standing to climb up a hill – it's too scary for some reason! What else should I be doing to get more comfortable standing to pedal up a hill?? Thanks for any suggestions
It is quite a change going from a flat-bar road bike to a drop-bar racing bike – losing the control and leverage you got from keeping your hands in the same position on the handlebars can be disconcerting. But when you stand up to climb on a drop bar road bike, you'll need to move your hands to your brake hoods to have the most amount of control. Once you practice riding in this position and then smoothly getting up from your saddle, you'll become more comfortable when you really need it. If you're looking for other tips on climbing, our Real Advice column has you covered: https://blog.performancebike.com/2013/07/11/real-advice-an-intro-to-climbing/
Reuben C: Is there a recommended pressure for a tire(as in replacing my 120psi) with the weight of the rider and load in mind. Or are there other factors such as wheel height/length? Sorry im new to riding and it feels like i am running low on psi after bumps or a day of riding (30 miles)
Road tire pressure is definitely critical to a safe and comfortable ride – almost every tire will have a range of recommended tire pressures noted directly on its sidewall. You have flexibility within this range of pressures, so if you feel like the tire is 'bottoming out', or compressing so much that it hits the rim, definitely put more air in if it is within the recommendations of the manufacturer. If you are still having issues, you may need to move up to a slightly wider tire (assuming that it fits within your bike's frame), as this will help give your ride more stability. Or you could install puncture resistant tubes to reduce the chance of pinch flats and slightly increase the load capacity of the bike. If you need help finding the tire inflation range, check out this video: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/tires-tubes-and-wheels/the-right-tire-pressure-for-a-road-bike
Donald H: Help! I tried replacing the cleats on my shoes yesterday. One bolt came out fine, but the other one ended up with the head rounded out to the point the hex wrench has nothing to grip. Any suggestions?
If you are not handy with tools, your best bet is to take the shoe to your local Performance Bicycle to have a mechanic take a look at it. If you want to try yourself (with the caveat that you might damage the sole of your shoe if you aren't careful) use a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel to cut a slot in the top of the cleat bolt and used a slotted-head screwdriver to remove the bolt. Be careful not to cut so deep that the bolt head breaks off. It also helps if the shaft of the screwdriver is hex-shaped, so that you can use a wrench to apply more torque to the screwdriver when removing the cleat bolt. And remember to grease your cleat bolts before installing them next time 🙂
Eric Q: #AskPerformance How does one determine how tight/loose to adjust one's threadless-steerer headset?
Threadless headsets are pretty easy to get set up once you get the hang of it – the key is to tighten the top cap so that you don't feel any movement fore and aft at the junction of the headset and the head tube, but not so tight that it hinders your turning ability. Then you tighten down the stem pinch bolts to their recommended pressure to lock the stem in place. We've got a very clear video that walks you through each step: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bike-parts-and-components/how-to-adjust-a-bicycle-headset
Greg C: I have my first race coming up next week. Should I shave my legs? Does it make a difference? Will I look like a FRED if I don't shave?
Another dilemma – shaving your legs is an age-old tradition in the cycling community. Cyclists can give you a litany of rationalizations as to why they shave (such as shaved legs make cleaning up road rash easier and quicker and promote faster healing), but when it comes down to it, shaving your legs is mainly a way to identify yourself as part of the cycling club. Think of it as an initiation into the world of bike racing – you definitely don't have to shave, but if you don't, you'd better be fast! We've got tips for taking care of your skin here: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/riding-tips/general-cycling-tips/basic-guide-skincare-for-cyclists
Chris D: The big question. … I am 6'2 and ride cross country, all mountain and a small amount of DH. 26, 27.5 or a 29er??? It seems so hard to choose a new size with my wide range of riding styles. What is the advantage of a 27.5 vrs a 29er? Also any 2014 recommendations? I hope #askperformance can help! Sincerely a #teamperformance member.
Wow, it sounds like you're looking for that one bike that can do it all! As a taller guy, you can definitely handle a 29er, which will give you an improved angle of attack to roll over obstacles, and more momentum to smooth out any trail. But the new 27.5″ standard might also be a great option for you – these bikes have a bit more agility than a 29er, but still have a greater ability to roll over obstacles than a classic 26″ bike. We're pretty excited about the 27.5″ format and think that it might be a great fit for what you want to ride – we'll have great options soon from GT (the 130mm travel Sensor and 150mm travel Force) as well as Devinci (their all-new 140mm travel Troy). Check out our Learning Center for more info about 29ers: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/buyers-guides/bikes-and-frames/basic-guide-to-29er-mountain-bikes and 27.5″ mountain bikes: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/buyers-guides/bikes-and-frames/basic-guide-to-275-mountain-bikes
Dawn G.: How do I stop squeaky disc brakes? I've cleaned and adjusted them and they still squeak.
There are 2 main things that might be going on if you've got everything adjusted right – when you first install new disc brake pads, it's essential that you go through the 'break-in' period for the pads. This will help improve performance and lessen annoying noise – just follow our tips here: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bike-parts-and-components/breaking-in-your-bike-disc-brakes Of course it could just be the case that the pads have become contaminated with oil or dirt – disc brakes pads a difficult to fully clean once this happens, so often the only alternative is simply to replace the pads all together: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/how-to-guides/bike-parts-and-components/how-to-replace-disc-brake-pads
Greg E: I am very interested in getting into cyclocross racing. What is the best way to get started racing for a mature beginner ? I already have a fuji cyclocross bike.
We're huge fans of cross racing here in the home office – you could even say that we're obsessed! But really what's not to love? It's an all-out effort for 30 minutes to an hour through grass, mud, or sand, with some barriers thrown in just for kicks. Of course this means that some different skills are needed than a regular road ride – you're already on the right track with a dedicated cyclocross bike, but your next step is to practice cross-specific skills like quick dismounts and remounts, proper technique to carry and run with your bike, and short, hard sprinting efforts to stay in the mix at a race. We've got some tips you can follow on our Learning Center, but your best option to learn more is to find a local cyclocross club or training group – cross racers are a friendly bunch, and they're usually happy to show a beginner the ropes and get him or her just as addicted to cross racing as they are: http://learn.performancebike.com/bikes/advice/riding-tips/road-cycling/cyclocross-basics

UEFA have announced that Euro 2020 will be played across Europe as opposed to the traditional format of one or two countries hosting the event.
Gianni Infantino, the general secretary of the executive committee, held a press conference on Thursday and revealed that the decision was prompted by an idea presented by president Michel Platini back in June.
"The main decision today by the committee was that the Euro 2020 finals tournament will be staged across the continent," he said.
"The idea of hosting the Euros in a number of cities comes from an idea by UEFA president Michel Platini from June this year.
"It was presented to all of the associations and to all of you (the journalists) on the eve of the final of Euro 2012. After that UEFA consulted all of their 53 national associations and we got their feedback.
"The response was extremely positive and has prompted the decision we are announcing today. I do have to say, however, that the idea was not supported by one member, Senes Erzik from Turkey.
"This response means that we will take the responsibility to review this matter and come up with concrete proposals on how it will look in terms of competition structure, competition format, number of cities and so on, in the coming weeks."
"We will report back to the UEFAexecutive committee who will then make the decision on the bidding which should be complete around March 27 or 28."
The cities to host the competition have not yet been elected, but this is expected to happen in the close future.

I was in Karnataka, travelling to the village of Kudur in Ramanagara district, about 35 kms from Bengeluru (formerly Bangalore). The dusty road leading to Hulikal and Kudur village seemed monotonous, but for a four kilometer stretch, it came alive with massive trees, spreading shade and providing home to innumerable birds and animals. This unique pattern of the line of trees attracted everyone's attention and appreciation. That's when accompanying officials told us about environmentalist Saalu Marada Thimmakka.
Thimmaka was married young to a landless laborer Chinnappa and they made their living tilling land and cutting stones. Despite a long wait and countless prayers and poojas, the couple did not have any children. The personal suffering coupled with snide remarks of the society that looked down at childless couples as a curse from gods that lead them to a unique engagement that is now widely recognized.
Thimmakka and Chinnappa decided to adopt trees and plant saplings around their community. Soon enough, the trees came to occupy a prominent part in their lives. They spent all their time planting saplings in open spaces, on government lands, on the outskirts of the city and on either side of the roads. The saplings were watered by Thimmakka, fetching water from distant wells and ponds, at times, she carried 30 to 40 pots of water a day. The nearly four kilometer stretch between Hulikal and Kudur is a testimony to Thimmakka's efforts.
Thimmakka continues her mission of promoting environment conservation in the only way that she knows - planting saplings. At the last count, she has planted and raised more than 8,000 trees. Environmentalists estimate the value of Timmakka's contribution, as anything not less than Rs. 150 crores (~$30 million). Due to her efforts, she has been. The Government of Karnataka constructed a home for Thimmakka in the village and the central government awarded Thimmakka with an Indira Priyadarshini Vriksh Mitra Award.
We were fortunate enough to have met her in her new house. Even at an elderly age, Thimmakka's daily tasks and her focus are around trees and saplings. Always smiling and willing to meet people, Thimmakka continues her mission and was kind enough to offer a few saplings to us! We were greatly appreciative and happy to meet such a selfless person who truly loves nature and is making a big difference in her community.
Kalesh,I am glad the

Germany, the land of engineering ingenuity and industry, has at the same time always remained a country with a strong agricultural sector. Despite a high population density, half of the land in Germany is farmed. Around one million people, working in approximately 285,000 agricultural enterprises, produce more than 50 billion Euros' worth of goods a year.

The tasks assigned to BfS are mainly stipulated in laws and ordinances. BfS applies the state-of-the-art of science and technology to fulfil these tasks. The Act relating to the establishment of BfS specifies that BfS does research in order to fulfil its mission.
This research is uniquely aimed at fulfilling the stipulated tasks and it can therefore be said that its role is to "serve" the overall objective. Research done at BfS is thus different from research done at universities, which is aimed at providing new insights.
With respect to financing, BfS research activities can be separated into the categories "research funded by BMU" and "research funded by third parties". In these cases BfS invites to tender, provides expert assistance to the researchers, and assesses and publishes the project results. Research activities may only be carried out by BfS itself if justified by specific circumstances, which is an exception to the rule.

Anipryl 15 mg (Canada)This page contains information on Anipryl 15 mg for veterinary use.
The information provided typically includes the following:
- Anipryl 15 mg Indications
- Warnings and cautions for Anipryl 15 mg
- Direction and dosage information for Anipryl 15 mg
Anipryl 15 mgThis treatment applies to the following species:
selegiline hydrochloride tablets USP
Anipryl 15 mg - DIN 02184524
Anipryl 30 mg - DIN 02229983
PHARMACOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION: Monoamine oxidase Type B (MAO-B) inhibitor.
STRUCTURAL FORMULA AND CHEMISTRY: Selegiline hydrochloride is (R)-(-)-N, 2-proprinylphenylethylamine hydrochloride.
Molecular Formula: C13H17N HCl
Molecular Weight: 223.75
Anipryl (selegiline hydrochloride) 15 mg and 30 mg tablets are almost white tablets containing 15 or 30 mg of selegiline HCl.
ACTION: Anipryl has been shown to be effective treatment for pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) in dogs as demonstrated by amelioration of clinical signs and improved regulation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. In each of three clinical trials there was a progressive improvement in endocrine function, as documented by results of low dose dexamethasone suppression (LDDS) tests.1,2 Significant clinical improvement was also demonstrated.1,2 Typical clinical signs of PDH include polydipsia, polyuria, increased frequency of urination and loss of housetraining, panting, reduced activity, changes in sleep patterns, altered appetite, obesity, alopecia, abdominal distention, reduced skin elasticity, thin skin, and poor hair growth.1-3 In clinical trials, dogs with PDH treated with Anipryl exhibited decreased body weight and improved body conformation determined by measurement, as well as amelioration of dermatologic signs (skin thickness and elasticity, alopecia, pyoderma) and regrowth of hair.1,2 Quality of life/general health was significantly improved based on increased behavioral and cognitive responses such as higher activity level, increased interaction with and responsiveness to the owner, decreased polydipsia and panting, improved housetraining habits and sleep patterns.1,2
The LDDS test is used to confirm dysregulation of the HPA axis, and to monitor endocrinologic response to therapy. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion from the pars intermedia of the canine pituitary gland, and corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) mediated ACTH release from the pars distalis are tonically inhibited by central nervous system dopamine levels.5-7 Loss of this tonic inhibition results in increased secretion of ACTH, which results in adrenal hyperplasia and increased production of cortisol.7 Hypothalamic dopamine concentrations are decreased in dogs with PDH.8 Selegiline helps restore depleted central dopamine levels and facilitates dopaminergic transmission by several mechanisms, especially potent selective, irreversible inhibition of MAOB.1,9 Selegiline also increases the synthesis and release of dopamine into the synapse, and inhibits dopamine reuptake.9 Selegiline or its metabolites may enhance release of other neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and serotonin.9
In the clinical trials noted above, dogs treated with Anipryl exhibited improvement in neuroendocrine function, as demonstrated by improvement (normalization in some patients) of LDDS test results.1,2 The precise mechanism for this continued improvement is unknown, but may involve neuroprotection or nerve rescue, in addition to the mechanisms noted above. Experiments in laboratory animals demonstrated that selegiline enhanced the survival of neurons after nerve trauma or exposure to neurotoxins.10,11
Canine PDH is a neuroendocrine disease which shares numerous features in common with several neurodegenerative disorders.2,12 For example, behavioral signs and cognitive impairment in subjects with HPA axis dysregulation may resemble some of the behavioral and cognitive impairments in people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.12,13 Clinical trials in people with these disorders have demonstrated that selegiline improves cognitive and other CNS functions.14,15 Studies in laboratory and pet dogs have also revealed age associated cognitive dysfunction which is responsive to selegiline therapy.12,16,17
Some neurodegenerative diseases, especially Parkinson's disease, may represent abnormally rapid brain aging.18 Parkinsonian patients treated with selegiline lived longer than those not receiving the drug.19 Furthermore, laboratory animals treated with selegiline exhibited significantly longer life compared to placebo treated animals.20
Cognitive dysfunction is a clinical syndrome recognized by veterinarians and often described by pet owners as "senility," "simple aging," or "old dog syndrome." The syndrome is typified by the presence of multiple cognitive impairments and behavioral problems which impair the dog's function as a pet and cause the owner concern. Some of the typical signs include loss of housetraining; decreased interest in food; inactivity or inattention to environment, including people or other animals; confusion or disorientation; apparent inability to recognize familiar places, people or other animals; apparent inability to recognize/respond to commands or when called by name; apparent decrease in hearing; development of "compulsive" or repetitive behaviors or habits (some examples: pacing, "fly biting," tail chasing, floor licking); wandering, or circling to BOTH sides (unilateral circling suggests a focal lesion); tremor or shaking; changes in sleep/wake patterns; or inappropriate vocalization.
Anipryl has been shown to be an effective treatment for cognitive dysfunction in dogs as demonstrated by amelioration of cognitive and behavioral signs and problems.1,12 After 1 month of Anipryl therapy, 75% of treated dogs exhibited cognitive improvement, and there were 78% and 77% improved at months 2 and 3, respectively. Efficacy was also evaluated for each individual parameter noted above. During the 3 months of Anipryl therapy, the population improved for all parameters at every time point, many of which attained statistical significance. Specifically, after 1 month of Anipryl therapy, the improvement reached significance or high significance for 13 (87%) of the 15 parameters; after months 2 and 3 of therapy the number of significantly improved parameters was 13 (87%) and 10 (67%), respectively.
TOXICITY: Selegiline hydrochloride was administered orally to beagle dogs once daily for one year at doses of 0, 1, 4 or 16 mg/kg. The no effect level was found to be 1 mg/kg. The following clinical signs were noted in some dogs at higher doses: salivation, panting, repetitive movements, decreased weight gain, and changes in activity level.
Anipryl 15 mg Indications
Cushing's disease. Anipryl tablets are indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism or Cushing's disease in dogs. They are not indicated for other forms of Cushing's syndrome.
Cognitive dysfunction. Anipryl tablets are indicated for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction syndrome in dogs.
PrecautionsEndocrine function testing to confirm pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism should be performed by a licensed veterinarian prior to initiation of therapy. If complications of PDH are evident at the time of diagnosis or emerge during Anipryl therapy the patient should be evaluated and, if warranted, alternative therapy considered. Concurrent use of Anipryl in conjunction with other therapy of canine PDH has not been reported. Anipryl should not be administered at doses exceeding those recommended.
REPRODUCTION: The effect of Anipryl on reproduction in the bitch has not been determined.
Anipryl is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to this drug. Controlled studies to determine the interaction of selegiline when administered with other drugs have not been conducted in dogs. To date, patients enrolled in clinical trials have not been reported to exhibit adverse drug interactions with heartworm prophylaxis, a variety of antimicrobials, anthelminthics and analgesics. Concurrent use of selegiline with other MAO inhibitors, such as Amitraz, is not recommended. In humans, selegiline is contraindicated for use with meperidine and this contraindication is often extended to other opioids. Further experience in humans has revealed adverse interactions between nonspecific MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants such as fluoxetine. Although to date no such interaction has been reported for selegiline in any nonhuman species, it seems prudent to avoid such combinations in dogs.
Side EffectsDuring clinical trials 156 dogs treated with Anipryl for as long as 2 years were monitored for the occurrence of adverse events. No serious adverse events thought to be related to Anipryl therapy were reported and no adverse drug interactions were reported.
Dosage and Administration
Cushing's disease. After confirmation of the diagnosis of PDH, Anipryl is recommended orally once daily at an initial dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight. During the first two months of therapy, the patient should be reevaluated periodically for clinical response by history and physical examination. If no improvement in clinical signs or physical examination findings is evident by 2 months the dose can be increased to a maximum of 2 mg/kg once daily, and the dog reevaluated in similar fashion one month later. If there is still no improvement or if at any time clinical signs progress, the patient should be evaluated for the presence of concurrent disorders, including performance of appropriate laboratory tests or other studies as warranted. In dogs whose clinical signs of PDH progress despite Anipryl therapy in the absence of concurrent disease, alternative therapy should be considered.
Cognitive dysfunction. In dogs diagnosed with signs of cognitive dysfunction, Anipryl is recommended orally once daily at an initial dose of 0.5 mg/kg of body weight. Since many dogs with cognitive dysfunction are elderly, it is likely that concurrent medical problems unrelated to cognitive dysfunction will exist at the time of diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction, or emerge during therapy. Therefore, prior to, or concurrent with, initiation of Anipryl therapy, the patient should be evaluated for the presence of concurrent medical disorders, including performance of appropriate laboratory tests or other studies as warranted. Any medical problems present at the time of diagnosis should be treated and managed by the usual appropriate methods, while continuing Anipryl therapy. During the first two months of therapy, the patient should be reevaluated periodically for behavioral and clinical response by history and physical examination. If no improvement in behavioral response is evident by 2 months the dose can be increased to a maximum of 1 mg/kg once daily, and the dog reevaluated in similar fashion one month later. If there is no behavioral improvement or the behavioral signs progress, the patient should be evaluated for the presence of concurrent medical disorders, as directed above. Any medical problems identified should be treated and managed by usual, appropriate methods. In dogs whose behavioral signs progress despite Anipryl therapy when concurrent medical disorders have been controlled or eliminated, alternative therapy should be considered.

An excerpt from Laurence Freeman OSB, "Letter Nine," COMMON GROUND: Letters to a World Community of Meditators (New York: Continuum, 1999), pp. 103-104.
Meditation allows no self-deception. We see ourselves as we are. It is impossible to avoid seeing the ways in which we are phony or hypocritical; our illusions, self-deceptions, fearful insecurities, and compulsions stand out clearly
; and the way we judge and dismiss others so arrogantly will strike a dagger in our conscience when we see it. But by facing this dark side of ourselves, we enlighten it. We see it with a light that shines from somewhere deeper in ourselves. And this light of our spirit burns away our self-hatred with the ultimately unavoidable and revolutionary truth that we are good and lovable.
The more conscious of the true self we are, the more we see our attitude to others change in the way we live out our relationship with them. Fear diminishes, generous love grows; reactive anger yields to the wisdom of forgiveness; judgement is absorbed by patience. In the place of the control and manipulation which, in the ego's eyes, makes the world go round, an amazing freedom is glimpsed as a real possibility in human affairs: the freedom that arises when people let each other be who they are. The world would not be perfect even if we did that from childhood on, but we would need far fewer prisons, and those in prison might be the ones who would actually benefit from being there.
But what a risk. The great risk we take in meditation is first of all to be ourselves. This is the first step. If we do not take the corresponding next step, we would never move from where we are; we would be hopping on one leg all our life. The next step is to take the risk of letting others be themselves. Perceiving their reality as distinct from our own is the way to do this. And to see them as real is to love them. Iris Murdoch once wrote that "love is the perception of the individual." She went on,
Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than ourselves is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality. What stuns us into a realization of our supersensible destiny is unutterable particularity.
Turning attention away from ourselves toward the greater reality "outside us" that contains us is the great act of contemplation. It is the same act of contemplation however we manage to do it—in relationships, in art, in service, and in prayer. Certainly, learning to meditate—a lifelong art to learn—is a fundamental way to do it. But it is not limited to the actual work of meditation. To meditate is to learn how to live contemplatively in everything we do, [to], as St Antony of the desert once called his disciples to do: "always breathe Christ."
After meditation: from Bishop Kallistos Ware, THE POWER OF THE NAME: THE JESUS PRYAER IN ORTHODOX SPIRITUALITY (London: Marshall Pickering, 1974), p. 39.
The aim of . . .all Christian prayer is that our praying should become increasingly identified with the prayer offered by Jesus within us, that our life should become one with his life, our breathing with the divine breath that sustains the universe. . . .The more prayer becomes a part of ourselves, the more we enter into the movement of love which passes unceasingly between Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Of this love, St Isaac the Syrian has written with great beauty:
Love is the kingdom of which our Lord spoke symbolically when he promised his disciples that they would eat in his kingdom: "You shall eat and drink at the table of my kingdom." What should they eat, if not love?

What Types of Vehicles?
Home Power started covering alternative vehicles many years ago to recognize what an important piece of the energy puzzle that vehicles are. We cover electric cars, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, and other alternative-propelled vehicles like electric motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, and even skateboards. We cover DIY projects as well as commercially available vehicles. And we cover vehicle efficiency—the eking out of more miles per gallon. We include articles on the fuels they use, like electricity, veggie oil, biodiesel, and hydrogen.
Electric-only vehicles require batteries, except for the high-tech, super-lightweight solar-powered cars that have their bodies covered with PV cells. For practical road and off-road use, there is no way to put a large enough PV array on a vehicle to avoid storing energy in the vehicle, which means using batteries or some other means. Hydrogen is one energy storage method that is seen mostly on experimental electric vehicles, but hydrogen takes a lot of energy to make, and the conversion back to electricity is not very efficient, making the technology currently impractical.
Batteries can only store so much energy, making vehicle range too short to satisfy most travel-hungry drivers. Hybrid vehicles still use fuel, but they do so much more efficiently—often getting twice the mileage that similar non-hybrid vehicles get. They do this by striking a balance between running the car on stored electricity and running on a conventionally-fueled engine—both electric- and engine-powered propulsion.
Hybrid vehicles use a combination of a gasoline engine, and electric motor and batteries. Plug-in hybrid vehicles are a combination of fueled and electric vehicles. They have the engine, but they also have a battery with more capacity than a hybrid's battery, allowing short trips around town without running the conventionally fueled engine. These vehicles can be plugged into the grid or your solar-electric system to recharge the batteries for the next day's trip to work and back. Since plug-in hybrids also have an engine, they are suitable for longer trips without having to recharge the batteries.


text: 5 Ways to Help Cattle Beat the Heat June 27, 2012 05:27 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Kim Watson Potts Drovers Email Hot, muggy weather is already here, which means it will be a long hot summer, especially for livestock. "Animals, cattle included, have difficulty regulating their body temperature during extreme heat," says Missouri veterinarian Dan Goehl. That heat stress can lead to death. To avoid that, there are some common sense things to help cattle, and other livestock, beat the summer heat: 1. Provide access to plenty of cool, clean drinking water. Iowa State University Veterinarian Grant Dewell says the rule of thumb is that cattle need 3 inches of linear water space per head during the summer. Extra water tanks should be introduced prior to extreme heat events so that cattle become accustomed to them. Waterers need to be kept clean to encourage cattle to consume adequate water. The water supply should be able to deliver 1.1% of body weight of the cattle per hour. A 1000 pound animal needs about 1.5 gallons of water per hour. Ohio State University beef specialist Stephen Boyles says that above-ground water lines should also be provided shaded to keep water cool. "Run lines in fields that are not being currently grazed to water troughs that are in fields being grazed and check the water temperature in the water trough. Water temperature increases from 70 degrees to 95 degrees F can increase total water requirements by about 2.5 times." Boyles also says that increased water consumption will increase excretion of urine, which will also increase the loss of certain minerals, such as sodium (a part of salt), potassium, and magnesium. "Free choice trace mineral salt should be provide in a location that the animals will consume it. Loose salt will be more readily consumed than block salt." 2. Provide shade. Cattle on pastures may have access to trees or other shelters for shade, and for confined animals without shade, consider building shade structure. Keep in mind that if the area provided is not large enough, the animals will congregate and can increase their body temperatures more than if there was not shade, advises Goehl. "Secondly, airflow is important. Shade needs to be provided in a manner to improve or, at the very least, not hinder airflow." 3. Improve ventilation. For cattle in semi enclosed facilities, improve the ventilation and air movement using fans and windows. If sunshades should be high enough to allow air movement. Remove objects that are obstructing natural air movement. "Outdoor cattle will benefit from sprinklers to cool them off. Make sure cattle are used to sprinklers before employing them during a heat wave. sprinklers or misters to help reduce air temperatures," says Dewell. 4. Avoid working cattle during times of extreme heat. If you have to work cattle, do that early in the morning. 5. Adjust feeding times. "Like people cattle do not like to eat in the heat of the day. Changing feeding patterns may be an option. This is especially useful for cattle that are not in a pasture setting," says Goehl. "Feeding 2 -4 four hours after the peak ambient temperature may help keep consumption more regular." Back to news

Each week The Sun's John McIntyre presents a moderately obscure but evocative word with which you may not be familiar — another brick to add to the wall of your working vocabulary. This week's word:
You may pronounce it "in-VEE-guhl" or "in-VAY-guhl." Michael Flanders (see below) says "in-VEE-guhl," and that is good enough for me.
The word, from the French aveugler, "to blind," means to entice, allure, or seduce, to lure someone into doing something by guile. Always there is something a little shady and underhanded about it.
Example: From Flanders and Swann's "Have Some Madeira, M'dear": "He had slyly inveigled her up to his flat / To view his collection of stamps, / And he said as he hastened to put out the cat, / The wine, his cigar, and the lamps, / Have some Madeira, m'dear."
And a Christmas bonus:
There is a rhetorical figure found several times in the song called syllepsis, in which a word is linked to two or more other words in different senses. Thus, in the fragment quoted, put out is used successively in the sense of "place outside," "serve," "extinguish," and "turn off."
Syllepsis and zeugma ("ZOOG-mah," from the Greek for "yoke") are often used interchangeably for this rhetorical figure. Hard-shell trope mongers will tell you that the Flanders and Swann song uses syllepsis and that zeugma only occurs when there is some grammatical incongruity, such as mixture of singular and plural verb senses. But Professor Arthur Hoffman at Syracuse talked about zeugma in Pope's poetry, and that is good enough for me.
