Immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) is a sterilized solution made from human plasma. It contains the antibodies to help your body protect itself against infection from various diseases.
IGIV is used to treat primary immunodeficiency (PI), and to reduce the risk of infection in individuals with poorly functioning immune systems such as those with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). IGIV is also used to increase platelets (blood clotting cells) in people with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and to prevent aneurysm caused by a weakening of the main artery in the heart associated with Kawasaki syndrome.
IGIV is also used to treat chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), a debilitating nerve disorder that causes muscle weakness and can affect daily activities.
IGIV may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
This medicine can cause blood clots. A blood clot may be more likely if you have risk factors such as heart disease, blood circulation problems, estrogen use, a history of blood clots, if you are 65 years or older, if you have been bed-ridden, or if you are using a catheter.
Stop using immune globulin and call your doctor at once if you have:
Immune globulin intravenous can also harm your kidneys, especially if you already have kidney disease or if you also use certain other medicines. Many other drugs (including some over-the-counter medicines) can be harmful to the kidneys.
Call your doctor at once if you have signs of a kidney problem, such as swelling, rapid weight gain, and little or no urinating.
Drink plenty of liquids while you are using this medicine to help improve your blood flow and keep your kidneys working properly.
You should not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to an immune globulin or if you have immune globulin A (IgA) deficiency with antibody to IgA.
IGIV can harm your kidneys or cause blood clots. To make sure this medicine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether immune globulin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether immune globulin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Immune globulin is made from human plasma (part of the blood) which may contain viruses and other infectious agents. Donated plasma is tested and treated to reduce the risk of it containing infectious agents, but there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; wheezing, difficult breathing; dizziness, feeling like you might pass out; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using IGIV. The vaccine may not work as well during this time, and may not fully protect you from disease. Live vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), rotavirus, typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), zoster (shingles), and nasal flu (influenza) vaccine.
IGIV can harm your kidneys. This effect is increased when you also use certain other medicines, including: antivirals, chemotherapy, injected antibiotics, medicine for bowel disorders, medicine to prevent organ transplant rejection, injectable osteoporosis medication, and some pain or arthritis medicines (including aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve).
Other drugs may interact with immune globulin, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.
IGIV is injected into a vein through an IV. You may be shown how to use an IV at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles, IV tubing, and other items used to inject the medicine.
IGIV should not be injected into a muscle or under the skin.
IGIV is usually given every 3 to 4 weeks. Your dosing schedule may be different. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Do not use IGIV if it has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medication. Throw away any unused medicine that is left over after injecting your dose.

Gary Kasparov was born in Azerbaijan on April 13, 1963. He started playing chess at age 6. He was named the international grandmaster in 1980. He narrowly defeated Anatoly Karpov in 1985 making him the youngest official world chess champion. He formed the Professional Chess Association in 1993 and in 1996 defeated "Deep Blue," an IBM chess computer. He retired from competition in 2005.
Gary Kasparov(born April 13, 1963, Baku, Azerbaijan, U.S.S.R.) Russian chess master who became the world chess champion in 1985.
Kasparov was born to a Jewish father and an Armenian mother. He began playing chess at age 6, by age 13 was the Soviet youth champion, and won his first international tournament at age 16 in 1979. Kasparov became an international grandmaster in 1980. From 1973 to 1978 he studied under former world champion Mikhail Botvinnik.
Kasparov first challenged the reigning world champion Anatoly Karpov in a 1984–85 match, after he survived the Fédération Internationale des checs (FIDE; the international chess federation) series of elimination matches. Kasparov lost four out of the first nine games but then adopted a careful defensive stance, taking an extraordinarily long series of drawn games with the champion. With Kasparov finally having won three games from the exhausted Karpov, FIDE halted the series after 48 games, a decision protested by Kasparov. In the two players' rematch in 1985, Kasparov narrowly defeated Karpov in a 24-game series and thereby became the youngest official champion in the history of the game.
In 1993 Kasparov and the English grandmaster Nigel Short left FIDE and formed a rival organization, the Professional Chess Association (PCA). In response, FIDE stripped the title of world champion from Kasparov, who defeated Short that same year to become the PCA world champion. In 1995 he successfully defended his PCA title against Viswanathan Anand of India.
In 1996 Kasparov defeated a powerful IBM custom-built chess computer known as Deep Blue in a match that attracted worldwide attention. Kasparov and the team of Deep Blue programmers agreed to have a rematch in 1997. Deep Blue's intelligence was upgraded, and the machine prevailed. Kasparov resigned in the last game of the six-game match after 19 moves, granting the win to Deep Blue. In 2000 Kasparov lost a 16-game championship match to Vladimir Kramnik of Russia.
Kasparov retired from competitive chess in 2005, though not from involvement in chess. In particular, he produced an acclaimed series of books, Kasparov on My Great Predecessors (2003–06), that covered all the world chess champions from Wilhelm Steinitz through Karpov, as well as many other great players. He also kept in the public eye with his decision in 2005 to start a political organization, the United Civil Front, to oppose Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin. In 2006 Kasparov was one of the prime movers behind a broad coalition of political parties that formed the Other Russia, a group held together by only one goal: ousting Putin from power. In 2007, following several protest marches organized by the coalition in which Kasparov and other participants were arrested, the Other Russia chose Kasparov as its candidate for the 2008 presidential election but was unable to nominate him by the deadline.
Several annotated games from Kasparov's career are viewable as Games 22, 23 , 24 , and 25 of 25 historic games.

Snyder capped the total incentive payout for 2011 at $25 million as part of his budget-cutting proposal in February. As of last week, the Michigan Film Office had $15.8 million in film project incentives approved for the year, "with $65 million worth of incentive applications currently pending," according to Michelle Begnoche, a spokesperson for the Film Office.
"We are continuing to operate within a budget of $25 million for the year," said Begnoche. However, she said it was premature to conclude that the incentives would run out well before the end of the year.
West Michigan residents who have been involved with the region's erstwhile movie industry are pessimistic.
The threatened shrinkage of the movie incentives, which was debated in the Legislature last week, now is "directly affecting me. I was all built up for it and now it's gone," said David Lowing of Lowing Light & Grip Inc., a Wyoming company in business since 1985 in sales, service and rental of lighting equipment for film and video productions. Among movies Lowing has been involved with is "The Chaos Experiment," shot in downtown Grand Rapids in 2008 and one of the first local movie productions in response to the incentives.
Last year was a very good year for the movie business in West Michigan, said Lowing.
"We spent almost all the money we took in on additional equipment to serve the business better, which is now just sitting here on a shelf — as we say in the business, growing hair," said Lowing.
He said five feature films had been planned for shooting in the Grand Rapids area this year. "It would have been a year to actually make money, and now we're barely holding on," said Lowing.
Lowing also was critical of proposed changes in the movie incentives law that would result in additional requirements regarding applications for the incentives. "It's really overkill. We already had a great system of monitoring and auditing, which caught a lot of problems," he said.
"The way I understand it, a producer has to come in and sit in front of a panel and get drilled on why this project is good for Michigan," he said.
The proposals for a permanent cap on the total annual incentive payments, which are in the form of refundable tax credits on 40 to 42 percent of production costs, has "scared a number of people off," according to Hopwood DePree. "They're not sure if they'll qualify, or if they even have the time to go through the process of qualifying."
DePree is a movie producer and co-founder of TicTock Studios in Holland. Two of his latest films are "What's Wrong with Virginia?" (scheduled for release soon) and "Tug," released in 2010.
DePree is also a member of the Michigan Film Office Advisory Council, which includes documentary film maker Michael Moore of Traverse City and other people around the state whose business or organizations are involved with movie and television productions.
The Advisory Council sent a letter in May to the governor and Legislature, urging the preservation of "a meaningful film, television and digital media incentive program for the citizens of our state."
"As a panel of industry experts, we submit to you that the proposed $25 million cap … will eliminate Michigan as a serious competitor in this fast-growing industry," states the letter. "On the other hand, we believe a competitive, predictable and fiscally stable program will not only generate significant economic impact, it will help fulfill several of the Governor's stated goals: create jobs; reverse the brain drain; build new infrastructure; and promote tourism.
"In its first three years, we have seen this burgeoning industry help diversify our economy, create thousands of jobs, revitalize Detroit, cast Michigan in a positive light on an international scale and lift our spirits."
Nyberg worked as unit production manager on "The Chaos Experiment" and later had jobs on "The Gun," a Curtis Jackson film, and "Touchback," starring Kurt Russell, which was filmed largely in Coopersville.
Nyberg said a production company had been interested in shooting a film this year in the Coopersville area. The screenplay is actually set in Minnesota but the movie incentives had them interested in Michigan. Nyberg said it appears the movie will be shot in Minnesota after all, due to the potential cap on the Michigan incentives.
"If it stays at $25 million" — the cap proposed by Snyder — "that's bad enough. Any lower would be just awful," said Nyberg. "Twenty-five million for the year is pretty bare bones."
According to the Michigan Film Office annual report for 2010, released March 1, 119 applications for film industry tax credits were received in 2010, and 66 were approved. A total of 58 film and digital media projects were actually shot during the year, resulting in more than $293 million spent in Michigan. Producers of those projects were awarded a total of $115 million in incentives from the state of Michigan.
On May 20, the state Film Office announced that "Freaky Deaky" has been awarded a film incentive of $2.8 million on $6.9 million that will be spent shooting in Michigan. The movie is based on a novel by Detroit native and New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard. The announcement states that the 10 projects approved so far for incentives in 2011 "are expected to create 1,121 Michigan hires, with a full-time equivalent of 256 jobs."
The most expensive film approved for the Michigan incentives so far is "OZ," which has gone into production at the new Raleigh Studios in Pontiac. It is a Walt Disney production, directed by Michigan native Sam Raimi, which was approved late last year for an incentive totaling $39.9 million based on the $104 million the producers are expected to spend in Michigan.
Raleigh Studios also has received a movie industry infrastructure incentive of $10.7 million from Michigan, equivalent to 25 percent of the investment. In addition, the studio is in a Renaissance Zone, providing an estimated property tax savings of $9.6 million, according to the MEDC announcement May 17.
"It is fitting that 'OZ' will shoot at Raleigh Studios Michigan where a former GM facility has been transformed into a symbol of a new industry taking root in the state," said Carrie Jones, director of the Michigan Film Office.

How can we do a better job of sharing the ocean with whales and dolphins in one of the U.S.'s most populous areas?
How can we do a better job of sharing the ocean with whales and dolphins in one of the U.S.'s most populous areas?
Dr. Lei Lani Stelle has researched Steller sea lions, the ecological interactions between gray whales and mysids (swarming zooplankton), and river otters. For Earthwatch, she's in Southern California researching whale and dolphin populations.
"The key issue of human disturbance is where our research comes in," Dr. Stelle wrote on www.sportdiver.co.uk. "With the help of Earthwatch volunteers we are monitoring disturbance to grey whales in Southern California through observations of their behaviour and dive physiology. Each individual whale has a steady breathing pattern and natural swimming behaviour that can be significantly altered when under stress. A stressed whale displaying avoidance behaviour might abruptly change swimming direction or speed to evade an approaching boat. If a whale becomes crowded or stressed and has to switch from feeding or resting in order to swim away from a boat, it loses the time it would normally spend in those behaviours and can cost the animal valuable energy."
"Of all the fascinating creatures that inhabit the world ocean, perhaps none are as enchanting as whales," Dr. Stelle wrote. "These magnificent megafauna have captivated our imaginations for thousands of years, beloved throughout the world for their intelligence and gentle grace. Along the western coast of the United States we are especially fortunate to have several species roaming our waters; from gigantic blue whales and charismatic humpbacks to cunning killer whales."
Dr. Stelle leads an Earthwatch Expedition in Southern California to track whale and dolphin populations.
Help Dr. Stelle examine how human impacts are affecting marine mammal populations.


text: Mixing water and electricity is never a good thing, unless it's in the style of the new "CMB Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with PROSIT" bandage. When you wet it, it generates a small voltage which prevents pesky microbes, fungus, mold and yeast from getting through its treated polyester fibres. Good news if you've got an open wound, and good news if you're a fan of the old electric-shocker handshake joke. Just kidding: This is pretty clever stuff, particularly as it's also been shown to reduce pain. Currently you can leave it in place for three days, but maker Silverleaf Medical Products is working on extending that, and bringing PROSIT to saleability with FDA approval. [Medgadget]

X-Post from Kickstarter – The Launch Party Update (or So Close You Can Taste It)on March 12, 2014 at 1:57 pm
We come to the end of our long silence, with apologies for the same.
These past several weeks have been a waiting game, final checks on all the bells and whistles, negotiating the last remaining problems and outstanding issues on those things that were not The Books, but were rather everything else – patches, triptychs, keychains, paper dolls, and all the rest.
According to the printer, the books will arrive some time next week. Our first priority will be a quality and quantity check, and then we'll move forward with the personalizations, inscriptions, remarquing, etc, with the goal of beginning to ship out the books to you in April.
We'll be holding a launch party at Bridge City Comics in Portland, Oregon, on April 5th, from 5pm until 8pm. "We," in this instance, means Rick, Eric, and myself (Greg) — we'll all be on hand at the store. If you are a backer and want to pick up your book in person, maybe hang out and chat for a while or simply point and stare, you are cordially — even eagerly — invited to come and do so.
So, launch party, Bridge City Comics, April 5th, 5 to 8 pm. We would love to meet you, we would love to hand you your books in person, and we think it'll be a heck of a lot of fun.
(As an aside, if you do plan on attending the event AND are a backer who wants to pick up your books, please send us a message via Kickstarter so we'll have an idea of how many to bring.)
Depending on our final inventory count, and presuming that we've enough extra to justify it, we may have additional copies for sale, prices TBD.
Rick, Eric, and I will be at Planet Comicon this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Well, Eric won't be there Sunday, but Rick and I will. We will not have books to sell, but we should have our first bounds on display if you want to take a look at them in person.
March 28th, 29th, and 30th is Emerald City Comicon, and Rick and I will both be attending. Again, we'll have first bounds on display, but at this point I do not think we will have copies for sale.
And now… time to finishing dotting 'i's and crossing 't's.
Hold fast!

May is International Iron Man Cosplay Appreciation Month. Which means we get to see suits that actually light up and move, sure, but also things of a slightly quainter nature.
Like this suit. Made by Englishman Mark Pearson, it looks like it fell straight out of a movie, but is actually made of cardboard.
Pearson coated 400 sheets of cardboard in fibreglass, and crafted the details out of household objects like an ashtray. It also lights up in certain areas.
Weirdest part is, it doesn't even fit Pearson; he had to get a friend to wear it to the debut of The Avengers in his stead.

Styrene, also known as vinyl benzene, is an organic compound. This cyclic hydrocarbon is a colorless oily liquid that evaporates easily and has a sweet smell, although high concentrations confer a less pleasant odor. Approximately 15 billion pounds are produced annually. Styrene is named after the styrax trees from which sap (benzoin resin) can be extracted. Low levels of styrene occur naturally in plants as well as a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, beverages, and meats.
Styrene-based materials offer unique characteristics of toughness, high performance, versatile design, simplicity of production, andeconomy. They provide excellent hygiene, sanitation and safety benefits. And many styrene-based products offer superior insulation qualities foruse in building construction where they provide energy conservation. They have the ability to be recycled where collection systems are available. In manycases, styrene helps create products for which there are few, if any, substitutes.
The presence of the vinyl group allows styrene to polymerize. Commercially significant products include polystyrene, ABS, styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubber, styrene-butadiene latex, unsaturated polyesters and others. These materials are used in rubber, plastic, insulation, fiberglass, pipes, automobile and boat parts, food containers, and carpet backing.

Welcome to Colonial Cavaliers CC
The Colonial Cavaliers is New England's premier men's social ex-pat cricket side. As a Massachusetts registered non-profit corporation we are also dedicated to spreading our love of cricket to new audiences while continuing to enjoy the game we love. We foster a warm family and kid friendly environment.
We play friendly cricket matches against local teams from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont and Connecticut from April to October and also go on tour each year.
Whether you're a player, umpire, scorer or just curious, we hope to see you at a match this season.
The origins of the game of cricket are lost in the mists of time. There is a reference in the household accounts of King Edward I in 1300 of a game much like cricket being played in Kent. The English game originated in the sheep-raising country of the South East, where the short grass of the pastures made it possible to bowl or roll a ball of rags or wool at a target. That target was usually the wicket-gate of the sheep paddock, which was defended with a bat in the form of a shepherd's crooked staff. Henry VIII called it "the sport of kings," but for many cricket is shrouded in enigma. This needn't be the case. At heart, once removed of jargon, it remains a simple game of immense depth and beauty, combining strategy, cunning, individual prowess and teamwork.
New club members are warmly welcomed. Our home matches are currently played at Harvard University and away matches are played at various grounds across New England. Practice takes place on Tuesday nights, at various venues.

When did your love for cooking begin?
My love for cooking began when I was a pretty little, around 8 or 9 years old I would say. I would always watch my grandpa in the kitchen and watch cooking shows on TV with him for hours. I think I fell in love with all the different smells!
Do you have any cooking traditions?
A cooking tradition in our family is everyone coming together to help make great meals for the family. I think that's what I really love about cooking, it brings the ones you really love together.

New Regulations Would Make it Easier for People to Establish Disability Under ADA
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) voted today to revise its regulations to conform to changes made by the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008, which would make it easier for an individual seeking protection under the ADA to establish that he or she has a disability.
The Commission voted 2-1 to adopt the rules changes, at a public meeting this morning at the agency's Washington headquarters. The five-member body has two vacancies.
The rules changes approved today represent an initial stage in the regulatory process and must next go to the Office of Management and Budget for review, and to federal agencies pursuant to Executive Order 12067, without public comment.
"In approving these proposed regulations, the EEOC today is taking a significant step toward returning the ADA to the broad and strong civil rights statute that Congress originally intended it to be," said EEOC Acting Chairman Stuart J. Ishimaru. "The proposed regulations will permit individuals with disabilities to participate to the fullest extent possible in the American workplace."
Acting EEOC Vice Chair Christine M. Griffin said, "Today's vote is historic. These regulations will serve to shift the focus of the courts from further narrowing the definition of disability and putting it back to where Congress intended when the ADA was enacted in 1990. Courts should now focus on whether discrimination based on disability is occurring in the workplace. The protections afforded by the ADA AA and these new regulations are important for all workers including our returning wounded warriors who certainly deserve the right to re-enter a workforce free of discrimination."
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an antidiscrimination statute, was signed into law in July 1990. The EEOC is responsible for enforcing Title I of the ADA, which prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The statute requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to employees and job applicants with disabilities—defined as people with mental or physical impairments that substantially limit a major life activity, persons with a record of a disability, or who, while not actually disabled, are regarded as disabled.
The ADA Amendments Act, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2009, makes important changes to the definition of the term "disability" by rejecting the holdings in several Supreme Court decisions and portions of EEOC's prior ADA regulations. The effect of these changes is to make it easier for an individual seeking protection under the ADA to establish that he or she has a disability as defined by the ADA. The ADAAA emphasizes that the definition of disability should be construed in favor of broad coverage of individuals to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA and generally shall not require extensive analysis.
The ADAAA also states that Congress expects the EEOC to revise its regulations to conform to changes made by Act, and expressly authorizes the EEOC to do so.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

I didn't realize the powerful emotional plus of having my breasts removed and my reconstruction from my abdominal tissue done concurrently. You go to sleep and wake up with perfectly round mounds where they just removed your breasts (after a grueling surgery to be honest). At first, my post surgery breasts looked full and happy. But at six weeks out, the swelling is decreasing and the radiated breast has shrunken significantly more than the other (all normal occurrences).
So, now that I have the good fortune to have a smaller tummy and actual breasts from that tissue, I should just feel lucky, right? My plastic surgeon is so excited to now place implants in my breast (to level them out and give them a slight boost) and do liposuction on my waist to even out the newly created side bumps from my shrunken tummy and the same old hips. I, on the other hand, just want to be well for a little while. Should I just be grateful and move on with the areola and nipple final touch? Or as my doctor recommends, finish the "fun part" – an actual quote.
I told him if it weren't for breast cancer, I would never (and I hate to say never, so I would most likely not ever) be seen in a plastic surgeon's office. But, he said, since you ARE here, why not take advantage of the fact that insurance will pay for most of this? Now the first time I had breast cancer, my insurance in a very long story did not cover any of my treatment. This time I am actually blessed with fairly decent insurance having been over five years out of treatment.
The bigger question for me is actually about my vanity. I said and I thought I meant that I was happy just to have breasts, without the horizontal scars of past surgeries. But he tempted me with those alluring photos of women with post-surgery, post-breast cancer hourglass beautiful bodies. And so, I am having a difficult time deciding what is right for me. I am a 42-year-old woman with a hopefully long life ahead of me, so am I content to live with my body the way it currently looks? Someone said to me today, "If you squint, it looks just like you have nipples!" What would you do if you were me?

The mission
The Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn was the most ambitious effort in planetary space exploration ever mounted.
A joint endeavour of ESA, NASA and the Italian space agency, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), Cassini-Huygens was a sophisticated spacecraft sent to the ringed planet to study the Saturnian system in detail.
A scientific probe called Huygens was released from the main spacecraft to parachute through the atmosphere to the surface of Saturn's largest and most interesting moon, Titan.
Mission objectives
Cassini-Huygens was designed to shed light on many of the unsolved mysteries arising from previous observations, such as:
- what is the source of heat inside Saturn that produces 87 per cent more energy than the planet absorbs from sunlight?
- what is the origin of Saturn's rings?
- where do the subtle colours in the rings come from?
- are there any more moons?
- why has the moon Enceladus such an abnormally smooth surface? (Has recent melting erased craters?)
- what is the origin of the dark organic material covering one side of the moon Iapetus?
- which chemical reactions are occurring in Titan's atmosphere?
- what is the source of methane, a compound associated to biological activity on Earth, which is so abundant in Titan's atmosphere?
- are there any oceans on Titan?
- do more complex organic compounds and 'pre-biotic' molecules exist on Titan?
The journey
Cassini-Huygens was launched on a Titan IV-B/Centaur launch vehicle on 15 October 1997. It is a massive spacecraft - no existing launch vehicle could have sent the 5600 kilogram craft directly to Saturn, so a technique called 'gravity assist' (or 'fly-bys') was used.
Gravity assist manoeuvres work because of the mutual gravitational pull between a moving planet and a spacecraft. The planet pulls on the spacecraft as it is flying past, but the spacecraft's own mass also pulls on the planet. This permits an exchange of energy.
Cassini-Huygens looped around the Sun twice. On the first loop it flew close behind Venus in its solar orbit, where it 'stole' some of the planet's orbital momentum on 26 April 1998.
The next orbit provided a second fly-by of Venus on 24 June 1999, and one of Earth on 18 August 1999. Given these three gravity assist boosts, Cassini-Huygens finally had enough orbital momentum to reach the outer Solar System.
One last gravity assist manoeuvre from Jupiter on 30 December 2000 gave Cassini-Huygens the final thrust of energy it needed to project itself all the way to Saturn. The mission arrived at Saturn in July 2004.
Huygens was released from Cassini on 25 December 2004. On 14 January 2005, it entered the murky atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, and descended via parachute onto its mysterious surface.
The Huygens probe sent its measurements and images to Cassini, which then beamed them back to Earth.
The Cassini spacecraft orbited around Saturn, sending back valuable data to Earth that will help us understand the vast Saturnian region.
Key dates arriving at Saturn
11 June 2004 (19:32 UT) - Fly-by of the furthest moon orbiting Saturn, Phoebe, at an altitude of 2000 km
1 July 2004 - Crossing of Saturn's ring plane during the spacecraft's critical Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) sequence
25 December 2004 (02:00 UT) - Huygens probe separates from the Cassini orbiter and begins its 22-day journey to Titan
14 January 2005 (09:00 UT) - Huygens encountered the upper fringes of Titan's atmosphere, beginning its descent and landing on the surface about two and half hours later.

June is a pretty big month here at MIA. This coming Saturday we will officially be reopening our doors to welcome in brand new exhibitions featuring even more examples of art styles, materials, and themes. We'll also be celebrating National Aboriginal History Month with fun games and prizes AND we've just launched another community based project with local Toronto knitting groups (including the Bissell Bombers) as part of World Wide Knit in Public Day!
For those unfamiliar with WWKiP Day, it all began back in 2005 when Danielle Landes gathered together a group of knitters. Rather than perform this traditionally solitary practice alone, they created an opportunity to spend some time together and really get to know their neighbors. That desire for human interaction and creative outlet inspired others to join and over the following years a simple day of knitting has turned into a global public art movement.
This Saturday and Sunday, MIA will be hosting knit inspired programming in our newly renovated space. From 12-4 visitors can join our Arts Assistants who will be giving demonstrations on the several different methods of pom pom making and how to create a bracelet with needle-less knitting techniques.
All of these yarn creations can be tokens of a fun day spent knitting out in public, or you can have them displayed in our special exhibition area. For the entire month of June, MIA has dedicated a public curated space to showcase the unique talent within the community. Those who wish to participate by bringing supplies and taking part of our Knit in Public activities receive FREE admission.
Hope to see all you crafters this weekend!

I've always been a "constructivist", meaning that I believe especially with language, students "construct" knowledge and are active participants in the creation of what they know. They don't just swallow and file away ideas but learn through their own filter, culture, personal world as they construct from their own foundation of "knowing".
My own basic approach for teaching English has developed into what I term, SCC or student created content. It is materials light and product focused. The materials are created by the students, from their own schema and then used as a way of practicing and building language forms. You can find out more about it through the coursebook I wrote - Teach | Learn.
Part of the constructivist approach is trying to look at things simply. It's about doing things simply so that the process doesn't get in the way of the learning. I think that applies to all good teaching. When I sit in classes and watch other teachers, I usually look for this first - a simple approach where the students are the focus and language "discovery" is the end goal.
In this vein and continuing on from my last three lists ( 50 tasks, 50 tech tasks and 50 Holiday Tasks), here are 50 super tasks that only require a blank piece of paper. I've written about this previously and find those posts here.
Yep. Just walk in with enough pieces of paper for the number of students in the class and you are set..... Instant lessons that will allow students maximum amount of time "constructing" their own knowledge and participating in their own self learning. A perfect student created content material - the blank piece of paper and possibility!
50 Ways To Use A Blank Piece Of Paper
In The English Language Classroom
Even now, this late in the day, a blank sheet of paper holds the greatest excitement there is for me — more promising than a silver cloud, and prettier than a red wagon.
- E.B. White
1. Greeting Cards.Fold in two and write a _____________ card with greetings to someone in the class. The teacher is the postman and delivers the next day.
2. Cheap whiteboards.Laminate one piece of paper for each student or group. Give out erasable markers and tissue. Now the whole class can answer questions and respond on their whiteboard.
3. Play Snowball. Students write 3 facts about themselves (print large). Crumple and then have a snowball fight in the class for 1 minute. After, each student picks up one snowball, uncrumples and walks around the class trying to find the person who wrote it. Read more …
4. Postcards. Fold in half. On one half, design a postcard with address/message on the opposite side. After the teacher checks, use the other half for your final draft of the card. Send to someone in the class. Read more ….
5. Origami. Students love this activity. First, the teacher tells and shows the students. After, students can teach each other new designs. Read more….
6. Pop Up Cars. Technically not a blank piece of paper but it is a piece of paper.
Color and talk about the cars, share, be proud. Read more …..
7. Graphic Organizer. Give students a topic. Weather / Animals / The House etc….. Students write all the vocabulary associated with the topic and organize it into columns or groups. Compare after, you'll have interesting results! Read more….
8. Sentence unscramble. Fold "hamburger" style (top to bottom) 3 times. You'll have 9 rows. Students write in sentences that are scrambled. Give to a partner who'll write the correct versions on the back. Give back to the creator who checks the work.
9. Pass The Paper. In groups, students pass around a crumpled piece of paper to lively music. When the music stops, the student holding the paper must do some set action (answer a question, name 3 ____s, do what the group says etc…) Remember that students must pass (not toss) the paper! Try one game right now. Read more …...
10. Write On! I use this as a writing warm-up. One student is the secretary and starts with a word. For example: baseball . The other group members must tell the person a word or expression that continues the word. Ex. Balloon. Students get points based on the number of letters used from the previous word. In this example, 4 points. The paper would show baseballoon . The secretary writes the words as a chain and underlines each. Students point out spelling errors. Continue filling the page.
11. A Simple Webquest. Students write a topic at the top of their paper. Fold 3 times (hamburger) to make 9 rows. Students write down 9 questions about the topic that they'd like to know. Give to a partner who uses the internet to write in the answers. The creator reviews the answers.
12. Make a Doodle Video. Choose a popular song. Print the lyrics and cut out the lines into strips. Students are given one line each. They draw a picture for the line and write the line clearly at the bottom. Take photos of each and put together with music to make a student doodle video. Read more ….
13. Hand Organizer. Student trace their hand on a blank piece of paper. Use this to organize vocabulary on a topic. Ex. The 5 Senses. Things you taste, touch, see, hear, smell.
14. KWL Organizer. Fold "hambuger style" so you have 3 columns. Write K W L at the top of each. (KNOW | WANT to know | LEARNED). Students fill in this about the topic of study for the lesson, unit, video. Read more….
15. A Name Card. Fold "hotdog" style (long way) 3 times like you would a letter for an envelope. Students write their name on two sides. Set the triangle on the desk so everyone can see. Read more…..
16. Vocabulary Conversation. Give students 2 minutes to write down vocabulary all over the page. (or give them a specific task – 5 animals / 5 verbs / 5 colors etc…). Students in groups use one sheet and make sentences about the vocabulary, connecting the words. Take turns until all the vocabulary is connected in logical sentences.
17. Vocabulary guessing. Give students 2 minutes to write down or brainstorm a set of vocabulary (jobs, family member names, animals, celebrities, sports etc…). In groups, using one student's paper, a student describes a word. The first to guess wins a point and crosses out the item. Continue until all items are crossed out. With family members – students can ask questions to find out the relationship of the names to the student.
18. Vocabulary ABC sheet. Fold twice "hotdog" style. Fold three times "hamburger" style. Unfold and you'll have 32 boxes. Student write in small print, the letters of the alphabet in each box. They must brainstorm in a group and fill in as many boxes as possible with vocabulary for the topic beginning with each letter. Most completed boxes wins. Read more…
19. Describe and Draw. Prepare 2 simple descriptions which students can draw.
Ex. A man is standing infront of his house. The house has two windows and a chimney. Birds are in the sky. It is cloudy. There is a garden on the left. Two children are running beside the house. A dog is chasing them.
Students draw the pictures based on the descriptions. Take away the descriptions and students in pairs, must describe their drawing to their partner who draws it. After, compare drawings.
20. Drawing and labeling. Student draw an item Ex. A car / human body / the school. Then they must brainstorm in a group and label the picture.
21. Student made wordsearches. Students design their own wordsearch on a topic. They make the boxes and fill in with words / extra letters. Write the words below with a small picture beside each word. Exchange with a partner and race to see who completes them first! Read more …
22. Map drawing. Home or treasure map. On a piece of paper, students draw a map from the school / class to a. their home or b. some treasure . The student gives their map to another student who must go to another group and tell the others how to get to ______'s home or where ______'s treasure is located.
23. Dictation. The students fold "hamburger style" the piece of paper 3 times. The teacher dictates 9 sentences, reading each one twice. Student exchange papers with a partner and check the answers (the teacher prepares beforehand and shows on the board / screen after). Also see dictogloss and running dictation variations.
24. Tag Stories. Students fold "hamburger style" the piece of paper 3 times (9 lines). On the first line, all students write the same prompt: ex. A man walked into a bank / I heard that (student's name) went to a party last night, etc… . After, they pass the paper to the left/right/front and the next student continues the story on the next line, folding over the first line so it can't be seen. Continue passing and folding. (make sure you the teacher also participate and write!). Read them silently and aloud afterward. They'll be funny!
25. Survey Cards. Fold the piece of paper in half. Students write a question they want to survey the class about. Ex. What is your favorite ……? / How often do you …… ?
Write Yes / No below the question. The students mingle and ask the class their question, checking if it is Yes or No. They report back their findings to the class.
26. Posters. Use A3 / A4 size paper, one for each group. Student plan out a travel or movie poster on one side. Once the teacher has checked, they make a good copy on the other side and present to the class. Display on the class walls. Make sure to show some examples to the students, so you are sure they understand this genre. Read more …
27. Scattergoiries / Categories. Give students one minute to write on a piece of paper, all the vocabulary/words/expressions associated with one topic (one secretary / writer / group). Then, go around each group getting one answer from each. Each correct answer is one point. If they repeat an answer, they lose 2 points (so they have to listen well!). Continue until all correct vocabulary is recorded. Play another round.
28. Cootie Catchers or Fold 'ems. These are great language prompting products. Students make the cootie catcher or foldem and then play with fellow students to study the language described on the product. Lots of description about foldables here.
29. Bookmaking. You can make all sorts of books with a few pieces of paper. I find students love the smaller books and collect them, make a class library. They love producing these English books! Find out how ….
30. Storyboards. Do it just like they do in the movies. Students fold "hotdog" style once and then "hamburger" twice. They then draw in the boxes with captions to sketch a story. Present to the class afterward or better have students act it out with dialogue. Read more ….
31. Reading Response. Read students a story (this is a nice one). Get students to write the story again but with differences and changes. Share afterward.
32. Journal Writing. DRAW (Dream / Remember And Write). Each lesson at the beginning of the class, students record in their journal and entry. Give them a specific prompt on the board or they can write their own. Collect the papers in their own portfolio folder, dated.
33, List making. Shopping / Christmas / Future, etc… . Fold the paper "hotdog" style once. In the first column, write all the names of the people in the class. In the next, write down a list item for that classmate. Christmas present / food item / birthday present / future job / adjective etc…. Compare lists afterward.
34. Paper Jeopardy. You don't need a computer to play Jeopardy! Just fold the piece of paper to get the right number of columns and rows. Name each category and assign to one group. They write in their questions, easiest to hardest. Play the game by having groups taking turns asking all their questions. Other groups ring in. Have one student keep score for all groups. Make sure the students know the answers to their questions!
35. Bingo. Fold twice "hotdog" and "hamburger" style. In each box students write numbers between __ and __ Call the numbers and play for bingos and superbingos (the whole sheet). Award prizes. Play the same but with a set vocabulary list where the students write in their own vocabulary (or better draw it in). Read more….
36. Timelines. Students draw a line down the left of the paper. They record important time events there and write sentences about what happened to the right. Can be for their own life, a historical person, the school year etc…. Review together as a class.
37. Grammar Poems. Use the piece of paper to have students write poems where each line is a specific grammar point (verbs, gerunds, nouns, demonstratives, comparatives etc….). Write on one topic and then present / read out to the class.
38. Chatting (paper airplane style). Students love chatting or texting but they can't use their phone in the school. Why not have them chat then make it into a paper airplane and then send to a student? Can get a little noisy but they'll write a lot of English!
39. Test Making & Taking. Fold the blank piece of paper into 2 (hamburger style). On one half, write some test questions for the class or some exercise, fill in the blanks. Turn over and write the correct answers. Exchange with a partner and take their test. Check the results by folding open the test paper.
40. Pictionary. A classic game that's easy to play with a blank piece of paper. Give students a set of words/prompts and they play using the piece of paper in a group. They'll produce much more language than if you use the board! Read more …
41. Debate it! Differences / Similarities. Students write a topic for debate at the top of the paper. Fold the paper into two.

43. Listen – Remember – Review The teacher tells the students a simple story (funny stories work best). As the teacher tells the story, the students take notes on their blank piece of paper. When the story is finished, the students try to write out the story based on their notes. Compare versions after. Read more…
44. Introduce the teacher. The teacher writes out different words detailing important things in his/her life. Ex. 1988 / pizza / soccer / broken etc... . Students ask a question to the teacher. Ex. Is your favorite food pizza? If correct, the item is crossed out. Continue until all items crossed out. Repeat with students in small groups doing the same on their blank piece of paper. This lesson in a can for EFL Classroom 2.0 supporters has a great description of this and downloadables to support this activity.
45. Translating / decoding. Divide the students into 2 groups. Show each group of students a different version of text/story either in their own language or in textmessaging (make it into text using Transl8it.com). Students decode/translate on a blank piece of paper. The students fold it over and exchange with a classmate from the other group. They translate / decode back into the original then unfold and compare with the starting version.
46. Making Connections. Give students 3 minutes in groups to write down on the blank piece of paper as many vocabulary items / things as they can think of. Next, students must connect each thing with another, using "A …… is similar to a …….. because both ………." Continue until all things are paired or connected.
47. Design a zoo. Brainstorm as a class all the possible animals in a zoo. Using a blank piece of paper, student design a zoo and where all the zoo animals will live. Discuss possible conflicts and reasons to have each animal where ….. Do the same for a barn and farm animals. Read more ….

amazing. Thank you David
Very welcome! I'll have to package these lists into a book. Already much larger than the classic - Teaching With Nothing (but which I feel was much overrated but nonetheless gave teachers basic training in teaching with their feet on the ground).
Thank you David, you've been really helpful!!
Hi David,
Just to let you know that we've shortlisted this blog post for this month's TeachingEnglish blog award and I'll be making a post about it on today's TeachingEnglish facebook page http://www.facebook.com/TeachingEnglish.BritishCouncil, if you'd like to check there for comments.
Thanks and will do. Good for teachers to get back to basics! I've got away from this and wish I had some video from the years I gave the blank piece of paper workshop - it was always fun.
Thanks for the great list! I ought to print it and put it up at my desk, both for ideas and to inspire me to make sure I'm not "cluttering up" my teaching to much with unnecessary, distracting elements!
Hi Gisele,
Yep! Also, so many of these use techniques/approaches can be transferred to online learning. It's a delivery foundation that can be applied no matter the delivery method. I remember only once doing a training like this - showing the "low" tech lesson and then complimenting it with the other side of the coin - the tech version.
Ddeubel you are just Fantastic! Thanks for spreading ideas

This big brush from Daniel Sandler is my new secret weapon in achieving flawless finish with my base products.
You know how sometimes when you first apply foundation it can actually accentuate enlarged pores rather than disguise them, well this fabbie brush totally sorts out that problem!
Now I can pretty much slap on whatever foundation, BB cream or tinted moisturiser I fancy, then buff it in with this brush to get the most blended beautiful finish.
The first pic is with foundation applied with my fingers:

It is a subtle difference in the photo, but much more noticeable in the flesh.
If you like to set your base with powder then this brush is fantastic for this too, as its combination of both natural and synthetic fibre pick up the right amount product to make sure you don't over powder. It's fab for bronzer for this reason too.
I love it!! It costs £26 and you can check it out here.

OOCSS certainly isn't required for all use cases. For smaller projects you may opt to not use it at all and that's completely fine. As mentioned above, a few of the main benefits are: scalability, readability, and maintainability.
As projects grow, these aspects become harder why are egg rolls called egg rolls to manage which makes OOCSS a great tool, however chinese shrimp egg rolls recipe, these aren't as pressing for smaller projects.
Requires a learning curve
OOCSS is just one of several ways to structure CSS. The other two major methodologies are BEM, or block element modifier, and can you bake egg rolls SMACSS, or scalable and modular architecture for CSS. Each approach is equally effective at making CSS more efficient, so what you should use for your personal projects is up to your preference. As can be seen below egg roll wrapper recipe ideas, according to google trends, BEM is still amongst the most popular of CSS methodologies.
Sass, which is an appropriate acronym for syntactically awesome stylesheets, is a scripting language that interprets into CSS. Sass makes life easier for front-end developers by allowing coding with variables, functions, mixins, advanced linting tools, nesting and compilation uses for egg roll wrappers methods. The object oriented approach can also be applied to sass to make code even easier to manage.
The sass @extend directive gives you access to placeholder selectors, which allows you egg roll in to create semantic CSS classes. By using placeholders as objects, you can define classes by merging them through @extend. When you apply properties of one egg rolls chinese cafe class egg roll filling ideas onto another with the sass @extend directive, the properties don't get duplicated; the two classes are simply combined with a comma selector. This feature enables you to update CSS properties in one location. If you're writing really long stylesheets, this simple trick can shave chinese egg rolls hours off of your workload.
• when you code, you should always think about the next programmer who might build upon avocado egg roll recipe your project. For example, you can write an application that performs perfectly to handle tasks in your workplace, but if the code is inaccessible to the next person who how to make egg roll wrappers takes your job, your perfect program can become more of a liability than a convenience.
Keep in mind that OOCSS is a dynamic, or bottom-up, approach to coding rather than a procedural, or top-down, approach. If you're collaborating on a project with a big team of programmers, agreeing on a CSS methodology upfront may be challenging, yet introducing standards early on certainly pays off for everyone in the long run. Whether you settle on OOCSS or some other methodology, you should get beef egg roll recipe into the habit of condensing and organizing your CSS.Oocss - the vietnamese egg roll recipe future of writing how to make egg rolls from scratch css - keycdn
As web projects grow, managing CSS can quickly become challenging if you don't put any forethought into how the code should be structured. Fortunately, some smart developers have come up with authentic egg rolls several methodologies to help programmers write CSS that is succinct and easy to maintain. Object oriented southwest egg rolls CSS, or OOCSS, is one such approach that can be applied on its own or combined with other methodologies like SMACSS and BEM to impose order on naturally disordered CSS. What is OOCSS?
OOCSS is not its own language. Anyone who understands CSS can egg roll kitchen easily grasp the OOCSS approach.
In CSS, the "object" can be any repeating visual pattern that can be specified in snippets of code.
Page elements and even groups of elements egg foo yung are given object classes, which are treated as single entities in style sheets. Unlike SMACSS, which gives programmers less whats in a egg roll freedom for categorizing objects, OOCSS is relatively easy to master.
The first rule of OOCSS: separation of structure and skin
The above snippet contains a lot of repeated code to define things such as width, height and egg roll nutritional information border-radius.
Such repetition can clutter a website's stylesheet, which makes editing increasingly difficult. Using OOCSS, we can pick out the patterns that are common to all skins inheriting the same properties. Doing so condenses the above CSS to the following: .Button {
Cutting down on repetition helps applications run faster whats in egg rolls.
CSS files have a habit of expanding exponentially as websites grow in complexity, thus increasing web page size. Specificity is important, but often CSS files contain way more information than how to make egg roll sauce is necessary. When using OOCSS, just follow the DRY rule: don't repeat yourself. Consequently, you'll have CSS files that are smaller and veggie egg roll recipe quicker to download. Scalability
OOCSS certainly isn't required for all use cases. For smaller projects you may opt to not use it at all and that's completely fine.

636: Brontosaurus
Title text: Well, sex is like a velociraptor: despite your movie-fueled lifelong neurotic obsession, unlikely to be found in your house.
Megan describes her relationship to Cueball with the simile "our love is like a turtle," a comparison often made when referring to a shy and slowly developing yet steady sort of romance. However, Cueball thinks that the Brontosaurus is a better comparison. His explanation refers to the fact that remains of Apatosaurus were by mistake believed to be a different genus, which the paleontologist O.C. Marsh named Brontosaurus. It was later discovered that the two genera should be classified as one, with the older name prevailing according to convention [1]. The term Brontosaurus therefore became a scientific redundancy.
Applied to the scenario in the comic, Cueball apparently considers the relationship without any emotional foundation and only continues it out of nostalgic motives. This conclusion counteracts the initial romantic tone adopted by the turtle simile, as comparing a romance with a falsely classified fossil is one of the least charming statements imaginable. [citation needed]
The title text aims at Randall's well-known enthusiasm for Velociraptors. Megan retorts by comparing any future sex between the two of them to be as likely as finding a Velociraptor in his house. The insult has a second barb: painting Cueball as being obsessed with movies involving Velociraptors.
Randall has previously mentioned the Brontosaurus name change in 460: Paleontology. The Apatosaurus also appears in 15: Just Alerting You and 650: Nowhere.
However the status of "Brontosaurus" remains under discussion, with a 2015 study of diplodocids reporting that the more gracile fossils should be classified in a separate genus, which would then be Brontosaurus.
- [Cueball and Megan are sitting at a bench. Megan is holding a turtle.]
- Megan: Our love is like a turtle.
- [Megan sets down the turtle and turns to Cueball. They hold hands.]
- Megan: Humble and simple, enduring by virtue of perfect design.
- Cueball: Our love is like a brontosaurus.
- Cueball: Recognized as a mistaken combination long ago, lingering only out of misplaced affection for an imagined past.

Bond of Spiritual Affinity
Life is a journey on which we seek our true and lasting home in Heaven. Many religions encourage pilgrimages to emphasize this. For Christians, the greatest of pilgrimages is to the Holy Land or to the tombs of Sts. Peter and Paul in Rome. Many of us find it difficult to undertake such a trip due to expense and other obligations.
In 2009 the Cathedral of Saint Paul was designated as the National Shrine of the Apostle Paul to be a privileged place of pilgrimage for the United States. in 2012, the Vatican established a "bond of spiritual affinity" between the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome and our Cathedral. This means that we can make a pilgrimage here and enjoy all the spiritual benefits as if we were able to pray at the tomb of the Apostle Paul in Rome.
As a sign of this spiritual closeness, the Cathedral has received the gift of a stone taken from the ancient wall surrounding the tomb of Saint Paul. This precious relic was on display in the Cathedral's sanctuary throughout the day on Sunday, May 20, 2012 to celebrate this newly-established "bond of spiritual affinity." May Saint Paul continue to inspire us and intercede for us to become ever more faithful disciples of the Lord Jesus!

Vans was created in 1966 by Paul Van Doren. The first brand store opened in Anaheim in California and it was in 1976 that skateboarders started taking an interest in the brand's shoes. Aware of what was happening, Vans listened to what they wanted and on 19 March 1976, the very first Era was launched in two colours, red and blue. The shoe was created by two professional skateboarders, Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. The Slip On was introduced in 1979 in California. Today the Vans collection includes over 60 different styles!

In French, the term Fricassee refers to some kind of stew, usually with a white sauce, in which cut-up meat is first sauteed and then slow-cooked with the addition of liquid. However, ask any Italian (or Greek!) and they will tell you that to them "fricassea" is any type of meat or poultry served in a traditional egg-lemon sauce. The Tuscan side of my family used to make this sauce to recycle meat (usually veal) that had already been boiled. We would make soup with the broth, serve the meat boiled with a side of green sauce, and the next day we would turn the leftovers into a creamy egg-lemon fricassea. There are several regional versions of this quick and easy recipe, some made with chicken and others with a mix of different types of meat, including liver. In Rome, however, the ingredient of choice is lamb, a symbol of the spring holidays (whether you choose to celebrate Easter or Passover), often with the addition of seasonal vegetables, such as baby artichokes. Serve accompanied by your favorite starch: potatoes or rice are great.
- 2 lb cubed lamb
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 large egg
- 1 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp freshly minced parsley, if liked
Rinse the lamb and pat dry.
mince the garlic and chop the onion and carrot.
heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic, onion and carrot, and cook for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat. Add the lamb and brown it on all sides for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Pour in the wine and allow it to evaporate on high heat. Lower the heat and allow to cook covered for about 30 to 40 minutes or until done. if there is a lot of liquid, towards the end of the cooking uncover the lamb and allow most of the liquid to evaporate.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the lemon juice until emulsified. remove the lamb from the heat, adjust the salt and pepper, and pour in the egg lemon sauce, stirring quickly. If you like, you can add some fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

How to speak about the most important thing in your life.
This is what Jesus' ministry meant to the people with whom He spent the most time.
God wants us to share His good news with everyone
Don't let the moment pass you by.
Regard the curious as thirsty for living water.
The Bible as a unified portrait of the Savior
God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

AccuWeather has issued a summer outlook for the U.S. every year, focusing on the major highlights of the season.
Most areas from the Mississippi Valley to the mid-Atlantic coast will have more days with rain and near-normal temperatures this summer, while heat and drought build over much of the West.
Many areas in the Eastern states will have good growing conditions with lower cooling bills for the Midwest. Lower temperatures in much of the Mississippi Valley and the east should result in a lower-than-average number of tornadoes for the year. The weather conditions in the West will be ripe for wildfires and a lack of water could become a serious concern for agriculture and some communities.
Weather Pattern in Brief
An atmospheric road block will allow a southward dip in the jet stream centered over the eastern half of the nation and a compensating northward bulge in the jet in the western half during much of the summer. (The jet stream is a ribbon of strong winds high in the atmosphere that guides weather systems along. During the summer it often marks the dividing line between hot air and relatively cooler air).
Conditions will change over time in parts of the nation.
Below are some of the highlights of the summer grouped into weather regimes.
Abundant Sunshine for New England, New York State
During the first part of the summer, a path frequently taken by thunderstorms is likely to set up from the Great Lakes to the lower mid-Atlantic. This will leave a zone of largely storm-free conditions and warmth by way of plentiful sunny days farther north.
The warmest and driest part of the summer from upstate New York to interior New England is likely to be June into part of July.
According to Paul Pastelok, head of the AccuWeather.com Long Range Forecast Department, "This will not finish as a top-ten summer for heat in the Northeast, but there can be a few episodes of heat."
In the end, temperatures are expected to average only slightly above normal for the three-month period spanning June, July, and August.
During the second half of the summer, the pattern will begin to change. Moisture from the Gulf and the Atlantic are likely to come into play allowing two things. One would be more liberally spread shower and thunderstorm activity, which would limit temperature extremes. The second would open the door for impact from one or more tropical systems.
AccuWeather.com will release its 2013 Hurricane Season Forecast on May 15.
Frequent Rain from the Great Lakes to the South
With the exception of the Florida Peninsula, no widespread areas of drought are anticipated from the Upper Midwest to the South, including the lower part of the mid-Atlantic.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists expect a higher frequency of showers and thunderstorms from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan to Louisiana, Georgia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which in turn will keep seasonal temperature averages close to normal, rather than much above normal.
Crops in most areas should have plenty of moisture, but in some cases conditions could be less than ideal due to persistent wetness. Flooding problems that developed in part of the area during the spring could continue or expand to new locations into the first part of the summer. Parts of the middle-Atlantic coast that were teetering on abnormally dry conditions from the spring are likely to trend wetter.
A prevailing northwest flow associated with the jet stream will raise the risk of complexes of severe thunderstorms. Sometimes these will swing from the Upper Midwest to the mid-Atlantic and other occasions the complexes could turn more toward the Ohio and Tennessee valleys and into the Deep South. The greatest threats would be from damaging wind gusts, hail, and flash flooding.
A slight pattern change is likely later in the season. Somewhat less frequent rainfall is likely during the second half of the summer over the Midwest, but not to the point of returning widespread drought.
Rainfall during part of the spring over the Florida Peninsula will only help in the very short-term. Until the pattern shifts a bit later on, drought conditions continuing over the Peninsula will result in an elevated brush fire threat and concerns for agriculture ranging from citrus crops and vegetables to livestock grazing lands through much of June.
In the Southern states, it is possible the northwest flow of air could be disrupted long enough during the first part of the summer for impact from a tropical system.
Later in the summer, the frequency of storms from the northwest will diminish with a more typical flow of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic setting up over the South. Not only would this bring rainfall to the Florida Peninsula and continue thunderstorm activity in the South in general, but it would increase the chance for direct impact from one or more tropical systems from the central Gulf Coast through the Atlantic Coast.
Drought Worsens, Expands in the West
As much of the eastern half of the nation has cooler and wetter conditions relative to last summer, the West will bear the brunt of this summer's drought and heat.
"The core of drought and heat will build west of the Continental Divide to California during the first part of the summer, then will expand northward as the season progresses," Pastelok said.
A lack of snowfall this past winter and a lack of rain this summer, could lead to serious water resource problems.
While drought, heat and wildfire issues are expected to be far-reaching in the West as the summer progresses, the heavily populated and major agricultural state of California could be at the center of drought-related issues ranging from water problems to wildfires. Some water for agriculture use was already being cut back to start the spring.
The monsoon is forecast to become active from West Texas to the California and southern Nevada deserts beginning during the middle and latter part of the summer. However, farther north, the moisture supply will be very limited.
Many of the thunderstorms will have little or no rainfall, especially farther away from the flow of tropical moisture from Mexico. When combined with the expected heat and dryness, an above-average wildfire season is likely. Fires could be just as much of a problem in Washington, Idaho and Montana as they are in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
"The Northwest will trend drier and warmer much faster, when compared to last summer," Pastelok said.
Great Plains, Texas Caught in the Middle
A very challenging area to forecast for this summer is the swath from Texas to North Dakota.
Late-winter and early spring storms have delivered moisture from the northern and central Rockies to part of the southern Plains.
Early this summer, like an echoing effect from the spring, rounds of showers and thunderstorms are projected to be more frequent than last summer from the Dakotas to eastern parts of the southern Plains and perhaps part of northeastern Texas.
However, heat and dryness could build eastward later in the summer throughout the Plains.
"If there is going to be impact in Texas from a tropical system during June, July and August, it would probably be June rather than August," Pastelok said.
A large area of high pressure is likely to get so strong in the West that its influence would tend to keep tropical systems away from the northwestern shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
The weather patterns suggested in this article represent a greatly simplified version of what is expected to unfold. Effects at the local level are beyond the scope of this analysis. Regional and sub-regional impact stories will follow on AccuWeather.com.
