Dear Lynne: My wife and I debate constantly about whether you should preheat the oven. Can you give us the right answer? -- Joseph from Georgia
Dear Joseph: Not to embarrass either of you, but what an invitation this is to fallen cakes, gooey biscuits, overdone meat and all sorts of culinary calamity.
The right answer: Always preheat the oven for 20 minutes, or however long it takes to reach the temperature called for. And always use an oven thermometer to be sure the temperature is where you want it, since many of our ovens go out of calibration.
Dear Lynne: Whenever I order Chilean sea bass, my sister goes nuts. We call her the Green Queen, and she says I am helping to wipe the fish off the map. Is this true? Am I guilty? -- A Picked-On Kid Brother in Chicago

The Heroine of Havisham Hall - Part 16
It was the senior maid, Agnes, who calmly took charge straightaway, in place of Miss Craftey. Having explained to the guests that Miss Havisham was resting for the afternoon in readiness for the evening's activities, Agnes invited those who had just arrived to join Miss Burgess and Miss Hughes and make themselves comfortable in the drawing-room, where Karen was serving tea and coffee, or, if they preferred, in their rooms from where they were welcome to ring for service if required. She also arranged for Linda to welcome the visiting ladies' maids at the staff entrance, whilst she asked Maria Rodriguez to escort the disgruntled and thoroughly shaken Miss Craftey off the premises. Miss Craftey was duly driven away to the nearest railway station, with two hurriedly packed suitcases containing all her essential belongings. Was this really the last they would ever see of "Crafty", some of the staff were already wondering?
Agnes had earlier warned Karen, when the two of them were sent out for more coffee, against mentioning to any of the other staff the embarrassing accusation which they, and of course Betsy, had heard in the drawing-room. She knew how reliable Karen would be in a matter of this importance. So, for the time being, Miss Burgess's suggestion and Jack's little secret were not generally known to the staff. But the mystery of exactly why Miss Craftey had left so suddenly was certainly now exercising the minds of most of the staff as they gathered in the servants hall to welcome the visitors' maids.
Jack, meanwhile, was glad of the opportunity to make himself useful tending to his mistress's needs as he accompanied her upstairs to her bedroom. Miss Havisham kept insisting that she was feeling fine, but she was very grateful for his attention and readily agreed that she now needed a restful afternoon before receiving her remaining guests and hosting dinner that evening. Once they reached the sanctuary of Madam's bedroom Jack was in no doubt that Madam was now fully recovered. "We're going to have to move you, Elizabeth" she began by saying. "We can't have you sharing a bedroom with Annabelle now that half the house knows you're a boy. Well, you were a boy, perhaps I should say."
Jack blushed at this last remark for he was becoming increasingly conscious of his pert little breasts, which he now realized must be due to the so-called "vitamin pills" he had been told to take when leaving home some weeks earlier. "Yes Madam, I'm a boy" he replied, but at the same time noticed to his embarrassment how high-pitched his voice seemed to have become. Was that something to do with the pills as well, or the result of having to pretend he was a girl all this time, he wondered to himself.
"Let me show you where I'm going to put you" Madam was saying to him. "Look dear, there's a nice single room here with a connecting door with my own room. It hasn't been used as a bedroom for very many years, but I remember when I was a small child my Grandmama's maid Daisy used to sleep in here. She sometimes invited me in to play with her, when Granny wasn't around. I've used it very occasionally as a dressing room but it's been a bit neglected since Granny and then my parents all passed away."
Jack detected a sad, faraway look on Madam's face and felt he should say something to cheer her up. "Oh yes Madam, I should love to sleep here" he said as they walked through into the small room with one another. "Well, it would be so much more convenient for me to have my ladies maid close by from now on" Miss Havisham responded. "Now let me show you what's in this wardrobe. Look dear, isn't this the most beautiful ladies' maid uniform. Just feel the softness of the fabric and the delicate lace collar and cuffs. Isn't it just adorable, my sweet? I'm sure you'd just love to wear this wouldn't you. my dearest? Now look... yes that's right, hold it against yourself, oh yes, that will suit you perfectly. I'll get Miss Bracegirdle to tidy it up a little and adjust it slightly to fit your size. Oh I'm so thrilled, you could become my official ladies' maid by next week, complete with the proper traditional Havisham Hall lady's maid uniform. What do you think, Elizabeth?"
And Jack, determined to remain loyal and close to Madam, the one person who still seemed to care for him, heard himself respond excitedly as he stood holding the dress and white apron, "Oh yes Madam, it's absolutely lovely. Didn't they make such beautiful, elegant outfits in those days Madam. I'm sure I'll love....."
Jack broke off as they heard someone knocking to enter Madam's bedroom and suddenly there was Agnes who, as promised, had hurried upstairs to check how Miss Havisham was feeling. "Oh I'm sorry to interrupt Madam but I don't think you heard my knocking. Is everything all right for you Madam?"
"Oh yes Agnes" replied Miss Havisham "that's very kind of you. Yes, everything is just fine thank you, Elizabeth here is showing me what a wonderful ladies maid she is going to be...."
* * * *
Downstairs in the drawing-room most of the guests had decided to accept the offer of tea or coffee and were politely introducing themselves to one another, or renewing acquaintance, as the case may be. One face which was new to many of them was that of Mrs Georgina Davies, Emily Quinn's very wealthy elder sister, who had recently married her long-standing companion much to many people's astonishment. "I know this is a ladies only weekend" Emily was saying as she introduced Georgina to Janet Strang "but it's a shame you couldn't have brought Gwyn with you." And Georgina, a confident well-built lady if ever there was one, replied to the effect that "Gwen" would be well occupied at home catching up with the mending and ironing. "I've told him there'll be hell to pay if he hasn't attended to my lingerie and a couple of my blouses by the time I get back" she added with a grin.
Both the titled guests, Lady Lavinia Lovelace and Dame Olivia Laurence, had mixed in with the other guests very easily, thanks to Cecily Burgess who had known Lady Lavinia for some years. Having such distinguished ladies to serve was, however, proving somewhat confusing for Karen and Annabelle, both of whom were struggling to remember that Lady Lavinia had to be addressed as "My Lady" whilst the other guests were simply "Madam". Shortly after Jack returned to the room, having been told by Agnes to leave Miss Havisham to sleep for a while, he heard Lady Lavinia saying in quite a loud voice "We can't have this nonsense, I shall tell Gloria we should all be treated the same. If you're all agreed I will ask her to instruct the staff to address you all as "My Lady" throughout the weekend. And to Jack's dismay, all the guests - including, he noticed, both Miss Pamela and Miss Melissa - signified their agreement. "Equal rights!" Miss Burgess was heard to call out, to much amusement among all the guests, "I'm sure Gloria will be entirely happy with that."
Jack's worst fears concerning the reactions of his former classmate and her new friend to this exalted status were realized only an hour or so later. He had just started to pack his possessions ready to move bedrooms, having apologetically explained to Annabelle that Madam had asked him to move to a room close to hers, when the bell from Miss Quinn and Miss Franklin's room rang loud and long. The girls obviously found it fun to keep their hand on the bell, so they could irritate their maid to the maximum. Of course they already knew exactly who that maid was going to be and, when Jack duly knocked on their door a short while later, they remained totally silent. Jack knocked again and there was still no response. He was just beginning to wonder whether he had gone to the wrong room in his anxiety to show how quickly he could respond, when he detected a stifled laugh from behind the door, followed eventually by a giggling "Enter, maid!"
Jack had no option but to curtsey low to both the girls as he entered the room, uttering the totally humiliating "Good evening, My Lady" to each in turn. This reduced the girls to further laughter, until Miss Pamela eventually pulled herself together and asked Jack if he was the girl who was to be her ladies maid for the weekend. "Yes, My Lady" came Jack's reply, through gritted teeth, but for once he quite forgot to curtsey. "Well, maid, how long have you been a maid in this house, may I ask?" said Miss Pamela, while Miss Franklin looked on with a smirk. "Just a few weeks, My Lady" Jack replied. "Well, you may only have been here a few weeks but I would have thought by now you would know that when you are speaking to a lady, you always curtsey to her. I will have to report you to the other guests later, if only to warn them that standards in this house are not what one would normally expect."
"Oh, I am sorry Madam, I mean My Lady, Madam" replied Jack, reduced once more to the nervous wreck he had so often been at the hands of Miss Craftey. "Well, I shall be gracious this once, but don't forget again" said Miss Pamela, now satisfied that she had poor Jackie - as she had always known him - exactly where she wanted him. "No, My Lady" replied a relieved Jack "I promise I won't, My Lady" as he gave her a full, perfectly executed curtsey.

This is a fantastic story. Each chapter seems to bring something new in the way of drama and I am loving it. Please keep going, there is so much that could happen to Jack and the other characters, they are all very different personalities which is great.
Please keep going with this story!

A very good story indeed. When it is finished, will it be possible to read it all together on this site. I have found it annoying to have to keep hunting for the earlier episodes, including the earlier ones by Carrie P which were equally good.
If it was all put together as a continuous story it would be even more enjoyable to read.
I am looking forward to the remaining episodes.

Great installment. It seems as if Betsey is slipping too comfortably into the role of full time maid. While it would be nice to have her get there, a little more misgivings and internal struggle might be nice. And perhaps more about Betsey becoming a girl and not just a maid would be nice. A maid has off days and off hours and a personal life too. What are Betsey's like? Thank you!!

Thank you for all these comments. I'm really glad so many of you are enjoying the story, to me that is the whole point of writing it. I also welcome the constructive suggestions - there are still a few more episodes left for me to write and I'll bear these in mind as I do so.
I'm very conscious that Bea set a particular standard for this site with her amazing talent for story telling, and that Carrie has carried this standard forward with the Rose and Jack and Amongst Women sections. I'm trying to maintain the kind of writing I think they wanted, but then again we all have our own style.
Keep smiling and enjoy the fun!

Hi LG
A bit late as usual in throwing in my tuppence worth, had a bit of catching up to do but well worth it as always.
You've certainly put Jack/Betsy through almost the whole range of maid servant positions, scullery maid, house and parlourmaid and it served well as an apprenticeship for latest role as lady's maid. No better woman to do this than Miss Crafty who was a quite a taskmistress and despite her nasty side was the ideal Housekeeper, extremely strict at keeping servants properly attired and ever mindful that the key to a well run house is discipline but as the maids observed was this the last they would see of her? The growing relationship between Gloria and Jack brings a another dimension to the story. Will be interesting to see how it develops as well as which of the girls will have to play the maid, my money's on Pamela.

Lovely story, gets better and better. Thank you xx
- March 30, 2014 at 8:26 AM
We are both really loving this story, we spend hours discussing what will happen next, and then both of us are wrong usually!!
Sounds like Pamela and Melissa will be taking over as Jack's chief tormentors now that Miss Crafty has departed the scene. We hope there are still plenty of episodes left to this story, there is so much that could still happen once all the different characters get to work!! A very well written story, J&R

Dear Carrie, and the anon/J&R contributors. It is so good to know you are all enjoying the story and to get your reactions to the various "twists and turns".
I'm sure some of you will be surprised, perhaps even disappointed, at Miss Craftey's departure but there may yet be further shocks and surprises so look out!
Carrie, I note where you are putting your money as far as the contest to play the maid is concerned - again the die is far from cast at this stage, so don't make too many assumptions.
I'm still working on the crucial next few episodes and I hope you will continue to follow it and give your comments.
Have fun! L.G.

EU Referendum campaign analysis book launched at Westminster
An EU Referendum analysis and opinion book featuring contributions from Loughborough University academics has been officially launched at Westminster.
The book titled EU Referendum Analysis 2016: Media,Voters and the Campaign covers topics such as the language of prejudice, EU Referendum media coverage and the rhetoric of the EU Referendum campaign. It features comment and opinion from 100 academics from a number of institutions – sharing views on the Leave and Remain camps as well as the final Brexit outcome.
The book, which was published just 10 days after the EU Referendum, was edited by Loughborough University's Professor of Political Communication Dominic Wring, alongside Dr Dan Jackson and Dr Einar Thorsen from Bournemouth University. It has also been supported by the Political Studies Association.
Among the 80 chapters in the book, one chapter is focused on how the news media covered the Referendum – this is the result of media analysis research by Loughborough University's Centre for Research in Communication and Culture. The research team audited national news coverage of the Referendum between 6 May and 22 June.
Hosted in Portcullis House in Parliament Square, the launch event was attended by MPs, MEPs, Lords and prominent academics, who all engaged in healthy debate about the outcomes of the Referendum and lessons that can be learned for the future.

Most days may be calm and serene, but news reports routinely remind us that the potential for disaster is always there under the surface with economic impacts that can severely cripple businesses that don't plan ahead.
More than 19,000 earthquakes will occur in the United States this year, although luckily most won't reach magnitude 4.0 or higher, while the Atlantic Hurricane Season that recently began is predicted to spawn 17 named storms and two to four major hurricanes.
While hurricanes can be seen forming in the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico, giving residents in target zones time to prepare, there is no effective warning for when an earthquake will shake the ground.
Advance warning or not, the time to prepare for a natural disaster is when a structure is being built. The monetary investment might be considered steep at first but when that structure is left intact after a disaster, the investment will be money well spent.
The true cost of a loss of any particular infrastructure element is much more than its replacement cost. For example, if a 911 emergency center building collapses during an earthquake, the building cost is minor compared to the value of lives lost if the center is out of service. Not to mention the cost of replacing all the expensive equipment inside the building when it collapses.
Research has come a long way in the last 25 years, and many buildings are now beginning to receive retro-fitting, particularly those in locations where earthquakes are prominent. This can be an expensive technique, as some buildings need to have every room secured individually.
The city of Seattle is also taking an economic chance with the construction of a new bridge that is 90 times more expensive than the cost of a normal bridge, but is said to be flexible enough that its materials will bend in an earthquake and snap back into place after the tremor. As a result, the bridge can withstand a 7.4 magnitude earthquake and will not require reconstruction afterwards.
Washington, Oregon and California are all preparing for the "Big One," a 9.0 magnitude earthquake (8.2 magnitude in California) that is projected to have a 1 in 3 chance of hitting in the next 50 years.
California has spent nearly $14 billion throughout the last three decades retrofitting its bridges, but still has another 200 bridges that it hasn't touched, while some of those bridges originally upgraded need further upgrades. Oregon is even further behind. The state's transportation department has deemed more than 600 of its bridges seismically vulnerable.
After the 1989 earthquake in Northern California that registered 6.9 on the Richter Scale and caused more than $5 billion in damage, those on the West Coast of the United States have been trying to find ways to limit damage the next time a large-scale earthquake comes their way.
Californians and many others in vulnerable areas have realized the real risk with infrastructure failures is a cascading cost far in excess of the replacement cost of the item itself.
Douglas P. Taylor is the CEO of Taylor Devices, which manufactures seismic dampers that protect structures during such events as earthquakes and high winds. He is inventor or co-inventor of 34 patents in the fields of energy management, hydraulics and shock isolation. In 2015, he was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame by NASA and the Space Foundation.

Precision Health in Health Care
Within our reach is the ability to completely change the very nature of health care to one of personalized care focused on keeping people healthy.
Patient First: Improving the Patient-Physician Relationship
A prevailing culture of connection guides all aspects of Precision Health, with an emphasis on prediction and prevention as well as precise diagnosis and treatment. While technology is critical to quality and safety in the delivery of care, patient-first care begins with understanding what is important to patients.
Patients want easy access to care that is predictive and preventive, plus expert guidance and care with minimally invasive treatments from a compassionate provider. Physicians and caregivers crave better engagement with better-informed patients, as well as physician wellness, satisfaction and productivity.
Together, patients and physicians share the common goals of personalized, cost-effective, superior outcomes.
Patient Participation: Wearable Devices Power Prediction, Prevention, Treatment and Research
Epidemics of preventable diseases such as type 2 diabetes, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease are ideal targets for applying Precision Health to vastly improve individual and population health.
Wearable devices can keep patients and their physicians informed about both current outcomes and the insidious onset of disease.
At the same time, wearable devices can feed data into an iterative system of research and care, where research on patient behavior and physician care fuel enhanced outcomes of the future.
Promoting a Healthier World
Stanford Medicine is collaborating with the American Heart Association on a global cardiovascular study to advance our understanding of the heart and what motivates people to improve their heart health. Despite major advances in prevention and treatment, heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
The MyHeart Counts app — a first-of-its-kind app built on Apple's ResearchKit platform — makes it easy for healthy people to share their physical activity and cardiac risk factor data.That data generates better methods of preventing and treating heart disease — a first step in unraveling the complex relationship between health and human behavior.
The personal genetics company 23andMe has also contributed to the research with technology that allows 23andMe customers to simultaneously share their activity, hearth health data and genomic data to the MyHealth Counts research.
Transforming Cancer Care
Our cancer care demonstrates how our fundamental research and preeminent clinical care come together to dramatically change how we approach treating diseases.
By forming a world -renowned team in genomics, in-vitro diagnostics, imaging, immunology, bioinformatics, regenerative medicine and other disciplines, Stanford sets the standard of cancer care with a multidisciplinary treatment model that is comprehensive and coordinated.

Just Keep Showing Up
We essentially have two jobs: dream and show up.
Dreaming can include things like visualization, musing, mapping, manifesting, diagramming, inventing, dialoguing, monologuing, singing, dancing, chanting, seeking flow state, seeking no state (meditation), intuitive recall, stream of consciousness writing, reading, gratitude, praying, and the list goes on.
Showing up is a little different. Getting out of bed, making calls, coursework, networking, creating, building, planning, budgeting, marketing, content, newsletters, social media, daily blissiplines, testing limits, crossing boundaries, chiseling out your niche, all that and more, again and again and again …
The dance between the two jobs is a tango, an open embrace of lead and follow.
In the end though, the how is technically none of our business. We can map and plan and budget until we're blue in the face, and none of it can turn out the way we planned.
We just keep showing up, regardless.
And little by little, with heaps of trust and gobs of faith, and a damn good mantra: May this or something better happen in my life, we get there.
Dancing all the way.
I leave you with this: Just show up. Just show the frick up.
Much Love,
