Usually conspicuous, they may form sizable flocks during the nonbreeding seasons, often mixing with juncos, lark or clay-colored sparrows, pine or palm warblers, or bluebirds. They frequently give their distinctive flight note upon flushing, usually flying up to a tree or other elevated perch to survey the intrusion. Polytypic. Length 5.5" (14 cm).
Identification All feature dark lores, gray nape and cheek, gray unstreaked rump, 2 white wing bars, and lack of a prominent malar stripe. Breeding adult: bright chestnut crown, distinct white eyebrow, black line from bill through eye to ear. Winter adult: browner cheek, dark lores, streaked crown with some rufous color. First-winter: similar to winter adult, but brownish crown; buff-tinged breast and sides. Juvenile: underparts prominently streaked; crown usually lacks rufous; may show slightly streaked rump. Plumage often held into October, especially in western subspecies.
Geographic Variation Seven subspecies (3 in North America) show moderate variation in color and measurements. Nominate eastern subspecies is small and fairly dark, with rich rufous upperparts. Western subspecies include the large, pale arizonae (breeds from Great Plains west) and the fairly small stridula (coastal British Columbia to southern California), which is intermediate in color.
Similar Species Clay-colored and Brewer's sparrows differ from winter and immature chippings by their pale lores, prominent malar and submoustachial stripes (particularly clay-colored), and brownish rumps; lack chestnut on the cap. The Brewer's has a streaked nape and rump, and a duller face pattern with a more distinct eye ring; the clay-colored is typically warmer buff-brown on the breast, especially in fall, and has a broader, pale supercilium and a more strongly contrasting gray nape.
Voice Call: high tsip; sometimes a rapid twitter when excited. Flight note: high, sharp tseet; sharper at beginning of note than Brewer's or clay-colored's. Song: rapid trill of dry chip notes, all 1 pitch; speed can vary considerably.
Status and Distribution Common. Occurs south to Nicaragua. Breeding: lawns, parks, gardens, woodland edges, pine-oak forests. Migration: spring mid-March–mid-May; fall late July–early November, peaking September–late October. Rare in winter north of mapped range. Vagrant: casual to western Alaska.
Population Stable. Has largely benefited from human activities, including the clearing of forests and creation of open, grassy parks.

Okay, my grandpa gave me a mix cd of some music. For some reason when he burned it, it all burned onto one 50 minute track. Is there some app or tool or something that I can use to go in and cut up the track and make all the songs different tracks?
Separating tracks... An app I've found handy for this kind of thing is AudioSlicer. Check www.versiontracker.com for it. It finds the 'silences' in a track, then lets you select which ones you want to split. I think it only works with MP3 files tho (could be wrong), in which case you'd have to convert it first, then convert back if you want to make an audio CD. I think that might be a 'lossy' process. You could also try an audio editor like Audacity. I think that'll work with the 'raw' audio, but you'll have to find the splits for yourself.

Book Yung Berg
Christian Ward better known by his stage name Yung Berg, is an American rapper, Producer and Songwriter from Chicago.
Chicago native Yung Berg sat in the music industry background for the first half of the 2000s before his "Sexy Lady" jam blew up in 2007. At 15 years of age, he already had a record deal, signed to DMX's fledgling Bloodline Records, but his parents hastily pulled him out, sending him off to a military boarding school in Montana in 2001. After returning from school a few years later, he moved out to Los Angeles to get his career going again. In 2005, Berg jumped at the opportunity to work with Disturbing tha Peace member and Chicago rapper Shawnna as a hype man and as vocal/writing support in the studio. Soon, Berg was making bigger moves. He established his Yung Boss imprint, ghostwrote for other rappers, and his production team, Yung Bosses (of which he is a part with JFK and Rob Holiday), scored tracks for Eve, Juelz Santana, Memphis Bleek, and also Shawnna. When he sent the "Sexy Lady" single out to L.A. radio, it became a local hit. Labels were approaching the young rapper left and right with major deals, but he eventually settled with Epic Records. ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music Guide [+]

An assessment of Clinton's AIPAC speech and Sanders's Middle East speech reveals their divergent approaches to the US's closest ally, Israel
Winning the fight to protect the deal in Congress was a huge victory for diplomacy over war. But there's still much work to be done.
Our own progress against racism in the United States remains too recent, too fragile, and too incomplete to go on abetting apartheid in Israel.
"What we're looking at right now is the possibility of changing the U.S.' uncritical support of Israel — for the first time," says Phyllis Bennis on Al Jazeera.
Phyllis Bennis discusses the significance of the escalating tensions between President Obama and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the threat to Iran negotiations.

Double outlet right ventricle
Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a heart disease that is present from birth (congenital). The aorta connects to the right ventricle (RV, the chamber of the heart that pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs), instead of to the left ventricle (LV, the chamber that normally pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body).
Both the pulmonary artery (which carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs) and aorta (which carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body) come from the same pumping chamber. No arteries are connected to the left ventricle (the chamber that normally pumps blood to the body).
Alternative Names
DORV; Taussig-Bing anomaly; DORV with doubly-committed VSD; DORV with noncommitted VSD; DORV with subaortic VSD; Congenital heart defect - DORV; Cyanotic heart defect - DORV; Birth defect - DORV
In a normal heart structure, the aorta connects to the LV. The pulmonary artery normally is connected to the RV. In DORV, both arteries flow out of the RV. This is a problem because the RV carries oxygen-poor blood. This blood is then circulated throughout the body.
Another defect called a ventricular septal defect (VSD) always occurs with DORV. Other conditions that may be part of the defect are pulmonary valve stenosis and transposition of the great arteries.
Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs flows from the left side of the heart, through the VSD opening and into the RV. This helps the infant with DORV by allowing oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood. Even with this mixture, the body may not get enough oxygen. This makes the heart work harder to meet the body's needs. There are several types of DORV.
The difference between these types is the location of the VSD as it relates to the location of the pulmonary artery and aorta. The symptoms and severity of the problem will depend on the type of DORV. The presence of pulmonary valve stenosis also affects the condition.
People with DORV often have other heart defects, such as:
- Endocardial cushion defects (the walls separating all 4 chambers of the heart are poorly formed or absent)
- Coarctation of the aorta (narrowing of the aorta)
- Mitral valve problems
- Pulmonary atresia (pulmonary valve does not form properly)
- Pulmonary valve stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve)
- Right-sided aortic arch (aortic arch is on right instead of the left)
- Transposition of the great arteries (the aorta and pulmonary artery are switched)
Symptoms of DORV may include:
- Poor feeding from becoming tired easily
- Bluish color of the skin and lips
- Clubbing (thickening of the nail beds) of toes and fingers (late sign)
- Failure to gain weight and grow
- Pale coloring
- Sweating
- Swollen legs or abdomen
- Trouble breathing
Exams and Tests
Signs of DORV may include:
- Enlarged heart
- Heart murmur
- Rapid breathing
- Rapid heartbeat
Tests to diagnose DORV include:
- Chest x-rays
- Ultrasound exam of the heart (echocardiogram)
- Passing a thin, flexible tube into the heart to measure blood pressure and inject dye for special pictures of the heart and arteries (cardiac catheterization)
- Heart MRI
Treatment requires surgery to close the hole in the heart and direct blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. Surgery may also be needed to move the pulmonary artery or aorta.
Factors that determine the type and number of operations the baby needs include:
- The type of DORV
- The severity of the defect
- The presence of other problems in the heart
- The child's overall condition
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well the baby does depends on:
- The size and location of the VSD
- The size of the pumping chambers
- The location of the aorta and pulmonary artery
- The presence of other complications (such as coarctation of the aorta and mitral valve problems)
- The baby's overall health at the time of diagnosis
- Whether lung damage has occurred from too much blood flowing to the lungs for a long period of time
Possible Complications
Complications from DORV may include:
- Heart failure
- High blood pressure in the lungs, which untreated can lead to permanent lung damage
- Death
Children with this heart condition may need to take antibiotics before dental treatment. This prevents infections around the heart. Antibiotics may also be needed after surgery.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child seems to tire easily, has trouble breathing, or has bluish skin or lips. You should also consult your provider if your baby is not growing or gaining weight.

Recent trends in technical education in Latin America
Publisher: IIEPSerie: Policies and strategies for secondary education
Reward Points: 0
Availability: 258
Ex Tax: 10.00 €
This book examines recent transformations with regards to the links between academic secondary education (ASE), technical and vocational education and training (TVET), and job preparation skills, in the Latin America region. It analyses changes in approaches, obstacles and advances, and major challenges, and reviews some promising strategies. Among the key questions discussed here are: How can the links between general education and TVET be improved, while taking into account the needs of local populations, social cohesion, and the demands of the labour market? And how can national education and training systems be implemented that enable effective linkage of the different resources available to promote both equity and competitiveness? The authors assert that a major challenge will be to design strategies to create bridges linking formal, non-formal, and informal education into a lifelong learning system.

A myc tag is a polypeptide protein tag derived from the c-myc gene product that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.
A myc tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a myc-tag allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the Myc epitope. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by Western blotting.
The peptide sequence of the myc-tag is: N-EQKLISEEDL-C (1202 Da). It can be fused to the C-terminus and the N-terminus of a protein. It is advisable not to fuse the tag directly behind the signal peptide of a secretory protein, since it can interfere with translocation into the secretory pathway.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are neutral proteinases that are involved in the breakdown and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) under a variety of physiological and pathological conditions, such as morphogenesis, differentiation, angiogenesis and tissue remodeling, as well as pathological processes including inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases and tumor invasion. MMP9, also known as 92-kDa gelatinase B/type IV collagenase, is secreted from neutrophils, macrophages, and a number of transformed cells, and is the most complex family member in terms of domain structure and regulation of its activity. It plays an important role in tissue remodelling in normal and pathological inflammatory processes. MMP-9 is a major secretion product of macrophages and a component of cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils, and is particularly important in the pathogenesis of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic diseases in many organs including the lung. This enzyme is also secreted by lymphocytes and stromal cells upon stimulation by inflammatory cytokines, or upon delivery of bi-directional activation signals following integrin-mediated cell-cell or cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) contacts. Since the integrity of the tissue architecture is closely dependent of the delicate balance between MMPs and their inhibitors, excessive production of MMP-9 is linked to tissue damage and degenerative inflammatory disorders. As a consequence, regulation of gene transcription and tissue-specific expression of MMP-9 in normal and diseased states are being actively investigated to pave the way for new therapeutic targets. In addition, the dramatic overexpression of MMP-9 in cancer and various inflammatory conditions clearly points to the molecular mechanisms controlling its expression as a potential target for eventual rational therapeutic intervention.

► Journal MenuSpecial Issue "Pasteurella multocida and Its Virulence Factors"
A special issue of Toxins (ISSN 2072-6651). This special issue belongs to the section "Bacterial Toxins".
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 June 2017

Dr. Katharina Kubatzky
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bacterial toxins can be classified into endotoxins and exotoxins. While the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide is an integral part of the cell wall of all gram-negative bacteria, exotoxins are proteins that possess a catalytic activity towards their respective target cell. Pasteurella multocida can infect a broad range of animals causing various diseases with specific syndromes. While atrophic rhinitis of pigs is connected specifically to toxigenic Pasteurella multocida strains that express the exotoxin PMT (Pasteurella multocida toxin), the pathogenic mechanisms for other diseases are less well understood, although LPS is required for pathogenesis. The host's immune system recognizes LPS through the pattern recognition receptor toll like receptor (TLR) 4. Other emerging virulence factors that can be detected by the endotoxin receptor TLR4 are proteins, such as outer membrane proteins (Omp), fimbriae or porins. These factors are discussed as potential candidates to generate efficient vaccines.
This Special Issue aims to summarize what is known about the interaction of Pasteurella multocida endotoxins and its exotoxin with cells of the immune system. We welcome articles (research or review) that center on the effects of LPS, PMT, or other emerging virulence factors and the generation of vaccines, respectively.

Latest commercial property news from Lambert Smith Hampton
Acting on behalf of landlords Euro Property Investments, LSH secured a five-year lease with Plastic Omnium on a 40,000 sq ft unit at H200, Hams Hall Distribution Park, Coleshill.
Plastic Omnium already has two manufacturing facilities amounting to 200,000 sq ft at the site and, after the continuing success of the automotive industry, the company was keen to expand.
Gemma Butler, Surveyor in the Industrial Agency team at LSH in Birmingham, said the unit was under offer within a week of instruction and the deal was completed in just eight weeks. Simon Norton at Colliers acted for Plastic Omnium.
She said: "Plastic Omnium is a major tier one supplier to automotive manufacturers such as Jaguar Land Rover and already has a large presence at Hams Hall Distribution Park. Following recent contract successes, the company was keen to increase its manufacturing facilities and we were able to negotiate a five-year lease.
"Due to the shortage of quality space available and the increasing demand as the economy improves, incentives have been hardening to the point where they are now non-existent. Void periods are reducing, as demonstrated here with the property coming under offer within just one week of our instruction."
Plastic Omnium is the world leader in automotive components, automotive fuel tanks and systems, and waste container solutions for local communities and companies. The company employs around 21,000 people and operates 107 plants and 14 R&D centers in 29 countries around the world.

Blood glucose, or blood sugar, is the main fuel your brain uses. Your brain cannot store glucose. When it senses a severe drop in its main fuel supply, your brain responds with confusion, nervousness and inability to focus and think. This disorientation progresses to symptoms such as low body temperature, seizures, convulsions, loss of consciousness and coma. Without immediate medical attention for severe hypoglycemia, you risk permanent neurological damage. While hypoglycemia is more common among diabetics, it also affects people without this disease.
Effects of Severe Hypoglycemia
Without emergency treatment, prolonged severe hypoglycemia results in permanent brain damage and irreversible cardiac problems, especially if you already have heart disease. Hypoglycemia causes weakness, tremors, rapid heartbeat and dizziness. Serious injuries can result from loss of consciousness while driving or falling down stairs, according to Joslin Diabetes Center. Drug-induced hypoglycemia is often responsible for falls that cause serious injuries in the elderly who take diabetes medications, such as chlorpropamide, reports the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy. Because many health conditions have similar symptoms, do not ignore recurring symptoms of hypoglycemia, whether mild or severe, as they can be a sign of a serious, undiagnosed medical condition.
Food, Exercise and Medications Affect Blood-Sugar Levels
Too little food, strenuous exercise that burns large amounts of sugar, caffeine or excessive alcohol consumption can cause hypoglycemia. Medications prescribed to treat heart problems or high blood pressure, such as beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme agents, also called ACE inhibitors, may mask symptoms of low blood sugar, reports the University of Michigan Health System. Medications, such as quinolones, antibiotics prescribed to treat urinary tract infections, can cause hypoglycemia, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Diseases That Cause Hypoglycemia
Diseases that cause your pancreas, liver, kidneys or other organs to malfunction, or glandular problems, such as underactive thyroid, may also cause a drop in blood-sugar levels. Other causes of hypoglycemia include inherited metabolic abnormalities and autoimmune disorders.
Normal Blood Sugar Levels
The Joslin Diabetes Center provides the following blood glucose ranges for people with diabetes. Before breakfast, the blood glucose range for diabetics is 70 to 130 milligrams per deciliter. But your doctor will determine the best individual blood-glucose ranges for you based on your overall health condition. Severe hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar drops below 35 to 40 milligrams per deciliter. Without medical treatment, severe hypoglycemia can be fatal.

Crocodiles and alligators—along with caiman and gharials—are part of a group of reptiles known as "crocodilians." There are 23 species of crocodilians found in over 90 countries around the world. Crocodilians are the most evolutionarily advanced of all the reptiles. They are more closely related to birds than other reptiles. One way to tell the difference between crocodiles and alligators is to look at their snouts: Alligators have round, U-shaped snouts, while crocodiles have narrow, V-shaped snouts.

I remember a couple of years ago deciding I was going to to step down from some of the Design Teams I was on and just enjoy some time creating just for fun , without guidelines and deadlines. Well, instead I found myself just creating less :( It's good to just take time for "life", don't get me wrong. I was spending way too much time in my studio). But.... I miss pushing my creative limits at times. The other day I decided to paint. Not for anyone, just because. Painting is not something I'm super comfortable with for the most part. But I was surprised how much a enjoyed it when I didn't worry so much about what the end result was going to be.
So, when I'm done, It's nothing super special and I am not happy with the way the writing turned out at all , but I'm going to be OK with it. I wasn't going to post it but I decided it's something worth talking about. If you love to create but it's always for someone, for a Design Team requirement, or to replicate something you were inspired by on Pinterest..... Try using your next free craft/art time for YOU. For no other reason, except for the fact you just enjoy it. Paint, cut, draw, or even just doodle. Go into it with the idea that you don't even have to show anyone. There really is something to be said for just enjoying the process... without any expectations.
I had to tell myself, it's okay not to be the best at it. It's okay that lots of people are WAY better at it. It's okay, just enjoy it. I really did enjoy it. I just put on some music and played with paint. It was good :)
So. .... that was that one relaxing day. lol Now full speed ahead. haha There has been so much going on. I had to pick and choose photos as not to drown you in them.
I always have to share about these sweet boys when they stop over for a visit. Their mom had a training day at work before school starts so they came over to play. ( you know me, I hate to play alone. :)
We did a couple of crafty things I had picked up at Hobby Lobby especially for the next time they came over
Emmett is working on coloring his scare crow after finishing his Tee Pee.
Wyatt so good at coloring and drawing.
Emmett, well., he's all about getting his projects done quick and playing in the buttons. ( a boy after my own heart).
Last weekend Dan and I went to SD for my Aunt Donna's 90th Birthday celebration. Her husband, Uncle Al ( my moms brother) , had his 90th celebration last year. And the year before that was my Aunt Viv's ( my moms sister). They are the last of my family in SD. Aunt Viv was at the party also of course so we got to see her.
She is going well, and has moved to an assisted living since her visit here. She loves it!
My parents were both from SD and met and married there, and started their family. Only my next oldest brother and I were born here in NE after they moved down here. SD hold so many memories for my siblings and I ( and my kids) of great family times. My Grandparents farmed there until they retired and moved to town. After Grandpa passed, Grandma lived in that cute little house for many years.
It's seems slower paced there. (Populations under 300) A little more untouched by the craziness of the world these days somehow. Maybe I just want to believe that , but it's just feels so comfortable there.
My Aunt Donna an Uncle Al are just amazing people. They farmed all their lives and still live out on their farm. They are hard working people with hearts of gold. My Aunt Donna has had lots of medical problems these past years, but they still just keep going. You can tell by my Uncle Al , that he's quite a character.
I love these people.
It's about 4 hours from here. We enjoy the drive up and back. It was a gorgeous day.
Jarad and Kate drove up for the Birthday celebration also, although they headed there the day before us. It was so nice to have them be there.
Wes and Amy weren't able to make it because they are in Colorado camping. They love adventure ( and to make me worry :) so they are on the motorcycle.
Actually they rode out with other friends who took their motorcycles and they were meeting up with other friends out there. They have been keeping us posted, and it sounds like they are having a great time!
This is a photo from a concert they went to at Red Rocks they other night.
Before they left Wes designed a T shirt logo, and I helped him print them off and iron them on, so they would all have one. They actually looked amazing! He did a great job on the design.
Last night I went to Lincoln to see my great niece Amber and her boys before they headed back to AZ. They are the most adorable "littles"! We always wish out far away family lived closer, but enjoy every minute of their visits.
Whew! Boy, when I don't blog as often I sure have a lot I feel the need to share. lol
I figure those who come here for craft/art inspiration will catch that at the top of the post and carry on. You die hards who have been coming here for so long that you know my entire family will read to the end. lol
If you got this far.... I LOVE YOU!

Post-Shopping Drinks in Manchester
With Vogue Fashion's Night Out held in Manchester this year and a mammoth selection of fine dining restaurant bars, welcoming pubs, and stylish bars encircling every cluster of shops in Manchester City Centre, Manchester is fast developing a Post-Shopping Drinks culture. With all the fancy champagne and cocktail bars nearby the stylish King Street, vibrant drinking hotspots in Spinningfields surrounding the retail-lovers' haven, The Avenue, in-house bars at Selfridges, and cocktail bars surrounding Market Street in the Northern Quarter and beyond, we all have a lot to choose from for post-shopping drinks in Manchester. We've compiled a handy list so you can leave your stresses at the till, and rest your feet next time you've shopped 'til you've dropped - literally.
This underground club / bar is a stylish hangout for the cool kids on the block. Sitting on a corner in the Northern Quarter, not far from Market Street or the Arndale centre, Black Dog Ballroom NQ offers a selection of draught beers for some chill-out suds, and some darn good cocktails. What better way to unwind than by having a game of pool at Black Dog?

Camus, M. Florencia and Clancy, David J. and Dowling, Damian K. (2012) Mitochondria, maternal inheritance, and male aging. Current Biology, 22 (18). pp. 1717-1721. ISSN 0960-9822
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The maternal transmission of mitochondrial genomes invokes a sex-specific selective sieve, whereby mutations in mitochondrial DNA can only respond to selection acting directly on females [1-3]. In theory, this enables male-harming mutations to accumulate in mitochondrial genomes when these same mutations are neutral, beneficial, or only slightly deleterious in their effects on females [1-3]. Ultimately, this evolutionary process could result in the evolution of male-specific mitochondrial mutation loads; an idea previously termed Mother's Curse [2, 4-6]. Here, we present evidence that the effects of this process are broader than hitherto realized, and that it has resulted in mutation loads affecting patterns of aging in male, but not female Drosophila melanogaster. Furthermore, our results indicate that the mitochondrial mutation loads affecting male aging generally comprise numerous mutations over multiple sites. Our findings thus suggest that males are subject to dramatic consequences that result from the maternal transmission of mitochondrial genomes. They implicate the diminutive mitochondrial genome as a hotspot for mutations that affect sex-specific patterns of aging, thus promoting the idea that a sex-specific selective sieve in mitochondrial genome evolution is a contributing factor to sexual dimorphism in aging, commonly observed across species [7-9].

German pancake
May 29, 2008 at 6:01 pm 7 comments
I don't like making pancakes usually, I find it labor intensive and messy. Yes, I have trouble juggling the act of pouring (batter), flipping, and keeping them warm. But German pancakes are ridiculously easy and foolproof every time. It's not a pancake in the fluffy sense; it's more like a crepe but thicker and has a crispy edge. You will need a well seasoned cast iron skillet and an oven, the physical labor ends when you pour the batter into the skillet and swirl (that is till you take it out and serve).
German pancake (adapted from Real Simple magazine)
3 eggs
1/2 cup yogurt(plain, and on the thin side) or milk
1/2 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
dash of cinnamon
2 tbsp canola oil
butter, powder sugar, and cinnamon to top (optional)
Coat cast iron skillet with the oil and place in the oven and preheat to 450º (for at least 15mins). Beat all the ingredients together till smooth. Carefully pour the batter into the hot skillet and swirl it to cover the bottom, quickly push it back into the oven. Bake for 10mins or till puffed and golden (it will deflate once out of the oven). Butter and dust with cinnamon and powder sugar.

Looks doable! Something like a flat "yorkshire pudding".
I might try putting cream cheese/hummus and pureed spinach on top and roll it up like a swiss roll (and leaving out the sugar). Mmm, some chopped sweet red peppers in the cream cheese and we are done. Bit of salad?
German pancake looks like an usual pancake, made with laziness. As any pancake, does german pancake allow serving with meat? Have you tried it? I think, it will be cool…
Looks fascinating! Have you ever had a Dutch baby before? With the legs and baby fingers and such? No no! Juz kidding.
Dutch Baby is the specialty of the chain of Original Pancake House based in Chicago. They cook the batter in a skillet for a few minutes before putting in the oven, letting the sides puff up and rise. Yum!
Looks delicious!!
zeynepankara- thanks
maria- if i ever find myself in chicago i'll definitely look out for that
rishat muhametshin- i imagine you can definitely serve it savory with many things
scotchcart- those sound like great ideas
for savory pancakes, instead of sugar, i think a little more salt, maybe some smoked paprika or curry added to the batter would be nice

Went NC with friend, now she is asking to meet up?
(51 Posts)Advice please
One of my longest known friends and I met regularly but I didn't really enjoy meeting up with her. However, she has her good points. Bad points are moaning (excessively) I don't mind a little, ringing constantly to meet up (like on a Sunday morning to meet later in the day- Sunday is my muk day at home), old fashioned chat (very nosey and then mixes up what I have said and repeats it back constantly 'you said this the last time'
I get a bit embarrassed around her asking me if I've ever had thrush in front of her husband, telling mine I used to be obsessed with weight watchers ( we had only started dating)
Anyway I could put up with all these things.
When I have birth I wanted a few days to myself, bleeding nipples, emcs recovery. She rang while still in hospital and dh asked her to postpone coming in. She then rang my mother saying my dh wasn't letting me have visitors (my mum basks in scandal and gossip too).
She sent wierd texts how 'we are all sore', then tried calling to the house with dh and two kids, I said no problem. She said between 8 & 9 pm. I asked her could they come during the day at the weekend that I was cluster feeding. New baby, just home and she started shouting. Then contacting my mother, ringing her and talking about what was wrong with me.
I feel so guilty but I asked her to leave me have my space. I haven't returned calls. She knows I thought she was nasty and started crying and crying.
Couple on months have passed. She rang and text today to meet up again.
What do I do ? Ps. I don't have that many friends but am I better with none or do I make up with aghhh
Ignore her. And tell your mum that she had better not even dare to answer any questions.
Then come back here, cos you know your mum will and friend will keep trying and you really don't need this crap and if you could just tell her to F off and your mum would stop loving a bit of a drama...
But really, just ignore. That sounds like far too much hard work!
You're better off without her. Ignore.
Thank You, I think I will have to ignore but I hate all this, if she wa a bit nicer it wouldn't have got to this.
She will try to justify her behavior by saying she was worried about you etc. Before you know it she will have you believing it!
If ignoring doesnt work you could try having two or three stock phrases you dish out.
"I'm too busy" etc
Tell her you don't really feel like meeting up with her given how she has treated you, which caused you a lot of unnecessary anxiety when she should have been supporting you by respecting what you needed at that time, and don't really know what to expect since she hasn't said sorry or anything. She might say 'well I am sorry' and you can clear the air, or she might flip out again... In which case, no love lost.
Kermitt you are spot on. She tried to make out I was Ill the time I met her, this is while she was crying. I was very lucky that I wasn't ill and I was grateful for that.
I am going to have to bump into her at some stage and she works in a similar field to me and I might meet her now and then (but not one to one) so I think I might use your phrase chatty than she caused a nusiance when I didn't need it.
I know if I meet her she will start crying, telling me I'm like a sister. Then five mins later some stupid comment like 'oh secondary infertility so on th rise etc etc'
i think you've got it. She'll be nice - penitent even - for five minutes and then she'll likely revert to type and start baiting you again. Did she have other friends when you were buddies or were you her only/main target?
She speaks her mind to everyone. I know the in laws live next door and she doesn't speak to them. She said they mock her (I don't agree with that and was always nice to her)
You see, she doesn't think before she speaks and is very outspoken anyway. Like out of a time warp - stuff you could imagine your great grandmother would say about sex, diversity and the like. It is cringeworthy but that's not why I am avoiding her. It's the bosy behaviour and lack of thinking.
She's a bully. Keep away. She's not changed.
Don't reply!
She has used you up; let her use someone else now same for your mother.
Yeap, we all have our defects, that is what makes us human, but she sounds like she has too many and too serious defects. If you don't have lots of friends all the more reason not to waste good time on her, when you could be meeting new people who will be a positive contribution to your life
At the risk of offending poor innocent breakfast cereal, she's a fecking fruit loop!
She harangued you, and your family to get her own way when you were a brand new parent. She feeds your DM a shed load full of drama, which is really unnecessary and refuses to respect any common, decent social norm in the pursuit of satisfying her own ego.
Bugger that for a game of soldiers!
Don't return the calls, ignore the texts and don't engage.
Thank You all for taking the time to reply. You made me laugh hissy.I feel a lot better for having not responded. I can't go back to her early Sunday morning texts to meet and non stop ringing.
That's it exactly- getting my mother involved to get her own way! She even had my father asking me to meet up. They think she's a lovely girl. However her mouth is a danger zone. When I broke up with long term ex, she rang him (got his number from a local paper- he was a sales man) and didn't tell me for ages. She reckons my father could be having an affair because he works away. That my brother failed Uni (he didn't - she keeps on about it), I could go on and on. If she meets someone in asda without their children that we know she will ring and say 'Joan (made up name) had neither chick nor child with her, what a disgrace
Sorry for big rant!
She's not all bad though - gifts etc wise but then she doesn't let you forget it
As Hissy said - she's a fruit loop! Stay strong and stay away from her.
She sounds like a total fruitcake with a real nasty side! If I were you I would ignore her, join some mum and baby groups and get some lovely new friends. No one needs people like that in their lives, what a drain! Oh and tell your mother not to talk about you to her (although sounds like you may have to put up with that for a while until she gets bored!)
Good luck!
"She's not all bad though"
i beg to differ. Gifts are often the currency of people like this. ignore, ignore and ignore some more.
I think you ought to completely blank her, and if your parents get involved tell them that and that if THEY want her as a friend, they are welcome to her, but YOU do not.
Another one of my favourite sayings:
Shs's Dagenham Mad (that's 3 stops PAST Barking)
Does your dad know what she says about him? Why did your Ex not tell her to FTFO?
Dagenham Mad! I haven't heard in a donkey's age
I've keep it really simple and just say that you want a bit of peace and quiet, and that you'd been surprised that she had involved your mother in your JOINT decision to want some privacy at the hospital.
She sounds like she needs to get a life. You'll soon make new/not nutty friends once she is out of the way.
Congratulations on your new arrival by the way!
Oh my god. I got home today and despite ignoring about four calls this week, a text to meet - a note has come through the door today while I was out.
My plan to ignore is not going to work. She is now causing me more annoyance.
My parents would hit the roof if they heard the types of things she says so I haven't told them. She doesn't ring my mother anymore as I told her not to. I can't believe she sent a message through the door today! It's six months since I had my baby and this has all started this past few weeks.
Keep ignoring. She sounds poisonous - personality disorder territory.
Can't you just tell her (call her, email or text if you'd rather not talk to her) and say you feel you've grown apart or that you need some space?
Don't see how ignoring her will help if she's already intense as a person and doesn't (seem to) realise you don't want to see her?!
Might be a bit more honest and clear.
Good-let your parents hit the roof. The only way you're free from her is if you and they don't engage with her. She's just going to phone your mum every time you upset her and they'll get involved because they think you're being weird about it.

Known for its consistently rich flavor along with a deep, wine-like acidity and pleasant aroma, Kenyan coffee beans have distinctly bright taste with complex tones of fruit and berry.
Kenyan coffees are wet-processed (washed) green coffees—bold and with a body that is usually full or medium.
Region: Kenya
Growing Altitude: 1,700 – 1,800 meters
Variety: Arabica
Harvest Period: November – December
Milling Process: Fully Washed, Sun Dried on Raised Beds
Aroma: Fresh, Floral
Flavour: Bergamot, Berries, Lemongrass
Body: Rich, Heavy
Acidity: Bright
Kenya Coffee has Resonant Cup Presence
Known for their potent sweetness and powerful character, Kenyan coffee tasting notes indicate it has a resonant cup presence, exhibiting intense flavors with a distinct winey richness and dry, winey aftertaste similar to Ethiopian Harrar yet with more of a full-bodied richness than Ethiopian coffees.
A good Kenya coffee is vibrant yet clean and crisp, not subtle or delicate, and typically very well-balanced. Notes of lemony citrus may be present, even pepper, along with tones of blackberry. The aftertaste of a Kenya coffee may be quite dry with a lemony zest to it, or perhaps winey.
Kenya Coffee – Tasting Notes
Pause to appreciate the sublime, even intoxicating black currant undertones in the flavor and aroma. One reason a mug of Kenya coffee is known as the Connoisseurs Cup is that they are typically well-balanced including their taste, acidity, and mouthfeel (body).
Coffee Growing in Kenya
Most of Kenya's coffee is grown at elevations ranging from 1,400 meters to 2,000 meters above sea level in the volcanic soils on the high plateaus surrounding the snow-capped Mt. Kenya and the foothills of the Aberdare Range. This elevation qualifies it for Strictly High Grown (SHG) / Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) status. The nature of the high altitude means that Kenyan coffees grow slowly, allowing ample time to develop and providing lots of nutrients to the coffee bean.
The area that spans from 17,000-foot Mt. Kenya south toward the capital of Nairobi is a major coffee growing region, while a smaller growing region is found near the border with Uganda on the hills of Mt. Elgon.
Kenya's Coffee-Growing Regions
Kenya coffee growing regions include Ruiri, Thika, Kirinyaga, Mt. Kenya West, Nyeri, Kiambu, and Muranga. These prime coffee-growing areas include a wide range of native forest ecosystems that support a variety of wildlife.
The coffee industry of Kenya involves many small farms and cooperatives as well as larger estates. In all about six million Kenyans are involved in the country's coffee industry.
Kenya's also has a cooperative system of milling the coffee as well as marketing, and auctions are held each Tuesday during the harvest season creating a situation of price wars over the finest Kenya coffees.
Kenya Coffee Plant Varietals
Kenya's red-orange, loamy volcanic soils and the region's moderate climate as well as the ideal equatorial sunlight and well-chosen and Kenya coffee plant varietals (e.g., most notably SL28 but also SL34, Kent, Ruiri 11, and African K7—all distinct to East Africa—as well as Blue Mountain) allow Kenya to be perhaps the planet's most consistent producer of world-class premium gourmet coffees.
The commercial coffee cultivars produced by Kenya's Coffee Research Foundation include: Ruiri 11, which grows well at all elevations and is resistant to coffee berry disease as well as coffee leaf rust; SL34, which grows well at higher elevations with ample rainfall; SL28, which grows well at high to medium elevations where coffee leaf rust is not a significant problem; and Kent, which grows well at lower elevation areas that are also vulnerable to coffee leaf rust.
The varietal African K7 is a French Mission Bourbon varietal (Coffea arabica var. bourbon) grown in Muhroni, Kenya at the Legetet Estate. It was chosen for cultivation based upon cupping trials. Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora var. robusta) grows in humid, lower elevation areas in Western Kenya.
Flowering of Kenya Coffee Plants
Kenya's coffee crops in general flower after the rains commence—this occurs in March and April, with the coffee cherry (fruit) ripening from May to July, and then again in September and October, with most of Kenya's coffee cherry coming to ripeness from October to December.
Acidic soils provide optimal growing conditions on the upper elevation high plateau regions surrounding Mt. Kenya including the Aberdare Range, Nyanza, Kisii, Bungoma, Kericho, and Nakuru. The botanical Arabica varietals that are grown in these areas were first introduced from Ethiopia.
Kenya Coffee Grading
As some of the world's finest gourmet coffees, Kenyan coffees are carefully graded after harvest. The coffee beans are separated (sorted) and rated by bean size as well as shape, color, and density, with the general assumption being that bigger coffee beans are higher in quality. The largest and best coffee beans from Kenya are graded Kenya AA.
A general rules with Kenya coffee beans is that bigger beans have more essential oils that enhance the tastes and aromas.
Other factors are also important in determining the beans' quality, and cuppers (professional coffee tasters) debate whether bean size necessarily means a better quality of roasted, ground, brewed Kenyan coffee.
Nevertheless, sorting is done by size, and the screen size Kenya AA is the highest sorting beans just over one-fourth inch in diameter. A bit smaller is the Kenyan AB grade, which are regarded by some as a better bean than the AA.
Removing Defective Green Coffee Beans
Mechanical and electronic grading—by weight, size, shape, and color—takes place after milling and helps to isolate the best coffee beans while also removing defective beans that may add an off-taste to an otherwise premium gourmet coffees.
According the class system devised by the Coffee Board of Kenya, the worst coffee beans are classified as a one and the best are a ten. A bean may be rated as an AA according to its size, though only a four or five on the class system, which would mean that it wasn't the highest quality coffee bean.
Of all of the premium gourmet coffees in the world—and there are relatively few at the top—Kenya coffee is perhaps the most consistently high quality coffee bean that is also consistently available.
Grades of Kenya Coffee
The grades of Kenya coffee beans include Kenya E (Elephant Bean), Kenya PB (Peaberry), Kenya AA, Kenya AB, Kenya C, Kenya TT, Kenya T, and Kenya MH/ML. See Kenya Coffee Grading for more information on each of these grades.
