We had tried to get a table at the Royal Oak, Riley Green, one Sunday evening when an impromptu meal out was required after a tiring day of DIY.
Unfortunately, there was no room at the inn. But taking that as a good sign we told the disappointed Little One we would do it properly next time and reserve a table.
This pretty little pub in the shadow of the magnificent Hoghton Tower is the epitome a traditional inn – log fires, beamed ceilings, cask ales and horse brasses – so cyber booking doesn't exactly spring to mind. However a quick search for their phone number online revealed I could book via their website. Very modern!
Arriving just after noon on a sunny spring Sunday there was a quiet welcome and we were shown straight to our table in a cosy corner. The interior is as you would expect of a country pub with exposed stone walls and wood panelled bars, but just that little bit less chintzy.
There was a lovely, peaceful atmosphere with no music to distract us from the perfectly formed menu which offers plenty of options without being overwhelming. There is also a specials board offering a good choice but we all opted to stick to the main menu with Significant Other choosing the Classic Cheeseburger, the Little One sausage and mash and a Pork Loin Steak for me.
The service was impeccable and we expected our food to be on the table within minutes as it seemed other diners were already on to their desserts! However, a little time passed before our meals arrived but it was obvious any 'wait' we had experienced was fresh food being properly prepared. Hot and beautifully presented, my pork loin was a plate full of textures and tastes. The steak was thick and tender with a lovely barbeque flavour. It was accompanied by well seasoned bubble and squeak, sweet and soft yet crunchy redcabbage, al dente baby carrots, a lovely splash of rich gravy and a black pudding bonbon – a new one on me but, altogether, really delicious.

Meanwhile, the cheeseburger hit all the right spots and was simply described as the best burger he'd had in ages! And the sausages and mash didn't hang around either. Soft potatoes and a good dollop of ketchup and even my fussy eater was happy.
Having supplanted a starter for a dessert, I was on the lookout for something synonymous with Sunday lunch. And what could be better than a crumble? Taken from the specials board it was tradition with a twist – rhubard and orange. The filling was soft, sharp and tangy – a lovely contrast with the crunchy topping and sweet home-made custard flecked with vanilla. Significant Other meanwhile had opted for poached pears with rum and orange syrup. Elegantly presented, they hadn't been over poached and had a delicately spiced orange sauce complimented nicely by top quality vanilla ice cream.
The final treat for our table was a sticky toffee pudding. Warm and soft with a thick toffee sauce it was a perfect pud, if slightly rich for a Little One.
The bill came to £54 exactly which included three soft drinks and just the one, very nice, glass of shiraz. Good value for great service and lovely food.
Sunday lunch at the Royal Oak could very easily become a tradition!

A Maltese-Pomeranian mix is considered a designer dog and is often called a Malti-Pom or Pomanees. The Maltipom is the most widely recognized name of the mix, as it is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club and multiple other dog registries and clubs.
Due to multigenerational breeding, there are some cases where Maltese-Pomeranian mixed puppies are not 50 percent Maltese and 50 percent Pomeranian. There is really no way to anticipate which characteristics of each contributing parent Maltipom puppies will exhibit, since the puppies can be born with any of the characteristics of the two breeds in proportions that are unpredictable.

Management is an activity found in all organizations, made necessary by the need to determine the organization's purpose and future activities, the nature of its organization and structure, to lead and motivate the workforce within the organization, and to evaluate and correct its course, if necessary. The organization accomplishes its purpose in part through its workforce, the people it employs. If you have just joined the ranks of management, you may need to quickly obtain hands-on knowledge for a brisk, successful start to your new position. Our objective in this course is to provide new supervisors or managers with just such basic, practical knowledge necessary for their new positions, such as making the transition to management, leadership, coaching, team building, communication skills, motivation and empowerment, organization, efficiency, time management, an appreciation for diversity, performance management, hiring, termination, discipline, decision making, and problem solving. The course will begin with a self-assessment of management skills you already have so you can identify those you need to develop. Then, one unit at a time, the course will guide you through all of the topics that are outlined above. By the end of this course, you should have gained a useful familiarity with these topics and, in most instances, be able to apply the knowledge immediately in your work setting. When you have finished the course, you might want to consider retaking the assessment to see how much you have learned.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- define and identify the four general management functions as well as management activities, roles, and types;

LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.K. stocks gained Wednesday, as a jump in shares of oil major Royal Dutch Shell PLC helped the FTSE 100 score a win on the last trading day of the month.
The FTSE 100 UKX, +1.08% rose 0.2% to 6,780.03, marking a third straight session of gains. The benchmark finished the month with a 2.8% advance, its best April performance since 2009.
The market managed to hold to gains as Europe's highest court dismissed Britain's challenge to a tax on financial transactions, a proposal backed by the European Commission in 2011.
"In this case, the court finds that the contested decision does no more than authorize the establishment of enhanced cooperation, but does not contain any substantive element on the [financial transaction tax] itself," the European Union Court of Justice said.
Royal Dutch Shell shares RDS.B, -0.60% were among the strongest gainers on the FTSE after the oil producer said it plans to pay a dividend of 47 cents for each ordinary share, a more than 4% increase from last year's payment of 45 cents a share. Class B shares RDSA, +1.48% ended 3.7% higher and Class A shares RDSB, +1.57% rose 2.9%.
The oil group was the best-performing sector, as shares of Tullow Oil PLC TLW, +0.89% also advanced, by 1.7%. Tullow said it sold a stake in two of North Sea assets it was looking to sell for $75.6 million. It also backed this year's production guidance of 79,000 to 85,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day.
Reassurance from copper producer Antofagasta PLC ANTO, +0.96% that its full-year production guidance remains on track helped drive up its shares by 0.7%.
But GlaxoSmithKline PLC shares GSK, -0.09% suffered a 2% loss to lead decliners on the FTSE after the drug maker posted a 30% drop in first-quarter profit. Glaxo in recent days said it's selling its oncology unit to Novartis AG NOVN, +0.32% for $14.5 billion, and plans to combine its consumer divisions with Novartis's.
Standard Life shares UK:SL lost 1% after the insurance company said U.K. annuity sales have declined about 50% since the government proposed pension-industry changes in March.
Also, British American Tobacco PLC BATS, +2.00% fell 2% as the maker of Lucky Strike and other cigarette brands posted a 12% decline in first-quarter sales, hurt by a fall in exchange rates in emerging markets.
While foreign exchange "remains an issue for reported results, it is a good start to the year," the company said.
Meanwhile, Saga Group said it plans to raise 550 million pounds ($925.5 million) in an initial public offering of at least 25% of its shares on the London Stock Exchange. Such a listing would value the company, which sells insurance and other services to people over 50, at £2.2 billion.
Next week, investors in U.K. assets will watch for the European Central Bank's policy statement, which will follow preliminary data from Eurostat on Wednesday showing consumer price inflation in the euro zone rose by a slower-than-expected rate of 0.7% in April. The euro zone is a key U.K. trading partner.

Factors affecting adherence to HBV guidelines
Regardless of practice setting, the rates of adherence to hepatitis B virus (HBV) guidelines are unsatisfactory and influenced by several provider, patient and practice factors, reports a study.
To assess provider knowledge, attitudes and barriers to HBV care and management practices, researchers surveyed providers across various healthcare settings in San Francisco, USA. They used multivariate analyses to identify factors related to recommended HBV screening, vaccination and disease monitoring.
A total of 277 providers responded to the survey. Of these, 42 percent reported performing HBV screening in >50 percent of at-risk patients and 49 percent reported performing HBV vaccination in >50 percent of eligible patients.
Most providers reported appropriate monitoring of a majority of HBV-infected patients with alanine aminotransferase (79 percent) and HBV viral load (67 percent) every 6 to 12 months. However, hepatocellular carcinoma screening was performed only in 49 percent.
HBV screening was significantly associated with the following provider factors: speaking an Asian language (odds ratio [OR], 3.27), offering HBV treatment (OR, 3.00), having >25 percent of Asian patients in practice (OR, 2.10), practicing in safety net settings (OR, 7.51) and having higher barrier score (OR, 0.74). In addition, provider factors associated with appropriate HBV monitoring were speaking an Asian language (OR, 3.43) and age (OR, 0.68/decade).
Hepatocellular carcinoma screening correlated with having >25 percent of patients speaking English as a second language (OR, 4.26) and practicing in safety net settings (OR, 0.14).
"This study reinforces the importance of engaging primary care providers in development, dissemination and implementation of evidence-based HBV practice guidelines," researchers said.

Realizing a dream in Tribeca haberdashery
Jae Jarrell, owner of Vintage Menswear and Collectibles on Greenwich Street. I wanted to communicate with people who were fond of many memories that I have, said Jarrell. Villager photo by Elisabeth Robert
While many of us flock to suburban malls or uptown to shop
for the holidays, we may overlook some fine shops right here in our neighborhood.
With many of our local retailers continuing to struggle in the wake of 9/11,
we have decided to spotlight some of them this holiday season.
By Alison Gregor
Whether youre taking the A train or just in the mood for a bit of nostalgia, you might take shelter in the warm jazzy atmosphere of Jae Jarrells Vintage Menswear and Collectibles in Tribeca.
Once you climb the stoop and open the door, the jazz music and graciousness of Jae Jarrell envelope you at this unusual store for men, located at 466 Greenwich and Watts, just a few blocks from the train line made famous by jazz artist Billy Strayhorn.
To the uninitiated, the shop might appear eclectic; but Jarrell says there is a method to her madness, which consists of following her own tastes in collecting.
I wanted to do something where I could establish my own spirit, explains the former designer and fashion and textile expert. I wanted to communicate with people who were fond of many memories that I have. There are those people who walk in for the first time and just get it.
Some of them almost never had the chance. Jarrell had planned to open Sept. 14, 2001, but on the eve of that date, found her store covered in soot and Tribeca closed to traffic. But she did not lose her pluck, even in the face of the neighborhoods economic woes.
I came here with the intent of putting together a successful business, she said.
Jarrell, 68, has lived in myriad cities besides New York, including Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Athens, Georgia. She currently lives in Washington Heights. She has kept her eye on vintage shops everywhere and decided to target her tastes toward men because she felt they were neglected.
That means her haberdashery stocks the obvious: pipes, cufflinks, money clips, ties and tie pins. But there are other collectibles that may surprise, intrigue and delight a male shopper: an old-fashioned electric boot-buffer in mint condition; a functioning steam spray travel iron from the 1950s; or classic cigarette cases that Jarrell suggests be used for business cards, since theyre too small for filtered cigarettes.
And, like a true haberdasher, Jarrell decided to move beyond small notions and wares to furnishings.
I envisioned this as a great place for men to purchase their dress wear, sporting wear, and also some things for their environment, she said. My slogan is gents one-stop vintage shop.
The furnishings Jarrell favors tend to be in the heavier, more masculine Deco style; she avoids the frilly pieces. A Burkey & Gay cabinet with an arched wood top and curved glass shelves offsets an armoir with the wood grains skillfully arranged in a geometric pattern, a Deco trademark.
And Jarrell also displays favorite pieces from other eras, such as a mission-style rocker laden with colorful plaid carriage rugs or a waist-height butcher block of parquet from the 1960s. Theres even a nod to the Victorian era in her three-panel room dividers with screens that she weaves herself.
Jarrell often shoves a few things aside and sets up a space to do her own artistic work. Before opening her 2,000-square-foot space, she spent many years at various markets in SoHo, Greenwich Village and on the Upper West Side. Because vintage merchants were some of her fiercest competitors, Jarrell frequently sold her own designs, some of which have a strong local following.
One unique item is a mans vest sewn entirely of ties in many colors, textures and patterns, a garment that has become one of Jarrells trademark pieces.
Now she has an even more innovative use for her vast collection of mens ties: She drapes them on a curved metal screen that encloses shoppers discreetly as they try on clothing.
This Im very proud of, Jarrell says. This has become my dressing room.
And theres no fear of heavy tie sales threatening the modesty of her male clientele as she has lots and lots of ties.
Another signature item of Jarrells is her selection of mens hats. She doesnt just carry bowlers, top hats, berets, fedoras, homburgs and stingy brims; a true milliner, she resurrects these hats from closeted obscurity with her antique steaming apparatus.
She has a tiny workshop tucked in the back of the store, crammed full of wooden blocks for crowns and brims that she purchased in a moment of serendipidity from a shoemaker in Chicago.
In his window was a metal hat-stretcher, Jarrell says, And I went in and asked him if that was for sale, and he said, Do you like hats? and I said, Yeah.
Besides her vintage goods, Jarrell also displays the paintings by family members, including husband Wadsworth Jarrell, a founder of the AfriCobra art movement in the late 1960s. His work these days consists of vibrant acrylic visions of great jazz musicians on canvas and paper.
Jarrell also showcases the paintings of her daughter, who paints on canvas treated to look like animal skins.
All of this speaks to many shoppers, men and women, seeking another era, another place, another sensibility.
Im a very satisfied shopper, says Roger Cross, a lanky aspiring jazz musician from New Jersey in a porkpie hat he recently bought - along with three others - at Jae Jarrells store.
As soon as you walk in, you can see that its a very classy place, he says. And as soon as you meet Jae, you completely confirm that.

Use New LensPen® SmartKlear™ to Remove Fingerprints from iPhone and Android Phone Screens
SmartKlear™ – the latest screen cleaning product from LensPen® – is specially designed to remove fingerprints from iPhone and Android phone touchscreens.
SmartKlear features the same grease-cutting carbon compound that photographers and tablet users count on to completely remove fingerprints from lenses, filters and screens. It's simple to use: just remove the cap, clean the screen and replace the cap to re-charge the cleaning pad. That's it. No cloths, tissues or sprays.
"When we introduced the original LensPen 20 years ago, it was designed to remove dust and to safely and effectively remove the occasional fingerprint from lenses and other fine optics," said Ryan Keating, vice president of marketing for the LensPen Group. "With the introduction of the iPad and iPhone a few years ago, touching glass was no longer a mistake or an accident; it's how the product is used! We knew our carbon technology was the perfect solution."
SmartKlear is similar in design and functions the same way as SideKick™, the iPad and tablet screen cleaner that LensPen introduced two years ago.
"SideKick is designed for the large touchscreens on iPads and tablets; really too big for iPhones and Android phones," Keating said. "SmartKlear has a smaller cleaning pad that works great on a phone." Replacement cleaning pads for SmartKlear are also available, Keating said.

No nut no soy super delicious VEGAN cheese!
Few days ago I had a craving for a pizza with cauliflower crust, and I really wanted to make this amazing vegan cheese by Anja Cass again. I appreciate this recipe a lot because it just tastes incredible! Most of the vegan recipes use just so much oil and nuts, which do not suit my fitness nutritional plan AT ALL. So this one is very lean, does not use any oil, simply healthy! However, this time I used a couple of purple sweet potatoes so the colour of the cheese at the end became strange… looks as if I added a bunch of artificial red pigments! Anyways, this cheese is relatively easy to make but you need a good blender. 2 things which you need to do – chargrill bell peppers, and steam sweet potatoes. I didn't have much time so I just cooked the latter in a microwave. Nuking is not optimal, but sometimes we just don't have all the time available right?
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup sweet potato, steamed until soft
- 1 whole roasted red peppers, marinated in vinegar
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2.5 tsp celtic sea salt
- 0.5 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup water extra for over top of mixture in blender
Agar Agar thickener:
- 1.3 cups water
- 2.5 tbsp agar agar powder
Always taste! I like adding more lemon juice to the mixture.

Weighty Bag Coaching - Undesirable Behavior
Le 15 February 2017, 04:24 dans Humeurs • 0
So should really the significant bag be constantly utilized? My personal opinion is that mcm accessories it shouldn't. The principle drawback to the weighty bag is its complete objective, that is to become strike with out hitting back. Because it won't hit back some not easy to crack habits may be created. The most common is dropping your guard when punching and when relocating. Its some thing which is witnessed additional with rookies, but will also is often produced by innovative martial artists. Education while another person is viewing you to the bag is often precious because of this. Once your guard drops you may not observe yourself, nevertheless the person observing should and advise you of it. A different frequent habit which can be created is calming immediatelycheap mcm backpack after hitting. Since the bag will swing backwards mcm outlet when it really is strike, you could possibly fall into your pattern of enjoyable a bit and getting rid of focus although it swings backwards then forwards. The main reason why this routine is formulated is since you turn out to be utilized to the timing of hitting the BAG, nevertheless the timing of hitting a person is much distinct. Most of the time, in the event you toss a strike at an opponent, he/she will counter more quickly than a bag would swing again at you, so it is excellent to keep this in mind when coaching.
There are plenty of other lousy behavior that will be made when bag schooling, so keep in mind generally that hitting the bag is different to hitting somebody when sparring or combating. In his e book, The Art of Expressing the Human Overall body, Bruce Lee warns of far too much bag use, because the types of undesirable practices demonstrated above can certainly be created. Utilizing the significant bag can be a definite must for all martial artists, nonetheless it must be applied cautiously and well balanced out with aim pads, sparring and various training approaches.

Caldor moved out as an anchor tenant in the Severna Park Mall in September 1989 after failing to reach a lease agreement with the mall's management.
But that was when Caldor was owned by May Department Stores Inc. Subsequently May sold the chain to a group that operates as Caldor Inc. Its officials say they are eager to return to a location they considered profitable the first time around. The store is slated to open in October.

This is a meme hosted by Book Journey, but I found it here on Book-a-holic.
Well, I managed to finish a couple books this past week, but I did sneak one in there that a friend loaned me on my kindle. I devoured it in less than 24 hours so you will be seeing a review of that this coming week. Probably tomorrow! Here is a look at what I am reading now and what I will be trying to tackle this week.
This book is the last book tour I have booked at this point. I am not going to be scheduling any more for a little while unless one comes up that I just have to be a part of! I have a nice stack of books that have been sent to me for review that I have been putting on the back burner because I have been doing so many blog tours. Now it's time to start getting caught up. I am really anxious about this book though, it looks really good.
Don DiMarco has a very good life – a family he loves, a comfortable lifestyle, passions and interests that keep him amused. He also thought he had time, but that turned out not to be the case. Faced with news that might have immediately felled most, Don now wonders if he has time enough. Time enough to show his wife the romance he didn't always lavish on her. Time enough to live out his most ambitious fantasies. Time enough to close the circle on some of his most aching unresolved relationships. Summoning an inner strength he barely realized he possessed, Don sets off to prove that twelve months is time enough to live a life in full.These are a couple of the books that I will be trying to tackle this week. It's entirely unlikely that I will get them all read! I threw in Love Unrehearsed because I seem to have a better reading week when I read at least one that I didn't receive for review. It kind of breaks them up for me and I don't feel quite so much pressure for some reason.
A glorious celebration of each and every moment that we're given here on Earth, as well as the eternal bonds that we all share, TWELVE MONTHS is a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit.
- Angel Dance by M.D. Grayson
- Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber
- Founding Fathers Know Best by Ross Puskar
I do still have to finish The Chronicles of Farro and True Blondes, but I will get to those soon. I am having a hard time reading True Blondes and the other one is just so daunting, I know I need to be in the right frame of mind to dig deep into that one!
So what are you reading this week? Did you make any progress with what you posted last week?

SOUTHPORT'S affordable homes crisis is being further strained by a lack of strategy from a neighbouring council.
Sefton Council believe muddled planning in Liverpool is "putting pressure" on them to build more homes.
Council chiefs have accused Liverpool City Council of failing to outline their requirements for social rented housing and cut-price market housing in critical development documents.
There are fears that young families in Liverpool may end up competing with local residents for the limited low-price homes.
In a report submitted to Sefton's planning committee, it is noted that "Liverpool's Core Strategy Preferred Options [a key vision for the future] totally ignores the need to provide any affordable housing" and that "Liverpool are clearly failing to meet their proportion of the affordable housing needs in the Liverpool City Region, putting pressure on neighbouring authorities to make additional compensatory provision".
Southport MP John Pugh has told Liverpool City Council – recently named the worst performing authority in the country – to "wake up and smell the coffee".
He said: "All boroughs should do their bit to ensure that young families get housed. Liverpool has traditionally had a surplus of housing but with increased prosperity there, you have the need for that council too to consider the affordability issue.
"Sefton shouldn't help them out – it's got its own pressures."
Sefton Council has identified Southport needs 6,000 new homes to meet demand levels.
A 29-acre former tip off Town Lane has been brought forward for development after officers cited the extraordinary need for housing in the borough.
The Kew Estate project will see around 40 houses completed each year for 16 years at the former landfill site, with at least 30 per cent of the properties being "affordable".
Conservative planning spokesman, Cllr Eric Storey hoped that local residents would be given first refusal on purchasing the properties.
He said: "Forget about Liverpool. We run our own ship here. We'll build affordable housing for our own people to live in. Liverpool row their own boat and good luck to them.
"There is a huge need for affordable housing in Southport and our aim is people who already live in the area to purchase them."
John Lee of The Southport Party reiterated a call for the town's withdrawal from the Liverpool City Region.
He said: "Why should Southport support Liverpool when it is quite obvious that Liverpool does not support Southport?
"It is proof that the Liverpool connection is not good for Southport."

text: corrections Business And Community Leaders Working To Reduce Louisiana's Record Incarceration Rate By Marcia Kavanaugh • Jul 26, 2014 spirit of america / Shutterstock.com On a per-capita basis, Louisiana leads the nation in the number of people behind bars. A diverse group of business and religious leaders have come together to support laws that could lower the state's incarceration rates. In this latest installment of the continuing WWNO and WYES series on criminal justice reform, Marcia Kavanaugh looks into how the Louisiana Smart on Crime initiative fared in this past legislative session. States Push For Prison Sentence Overhaul; Prosecutors Push Back By Martin Kaste • Jul 9, 2014 Some red states like Louisiana and Texas have emerged as leaders in a new movement: to divert offenders from prisons and into drug treatment, work release and other incarceration alternatives. By most counts, Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate in the country. In recent years, sentencing reformers in the capital, Baton Rouge, have loosened some mandatory minimum sentences and have made parole slightly easier for offenders to get. But as reformers in Louisiana push for change, they're also running into stiffening resistance — especially from local prosecutors. WYES: ReShaping A Greater New Orleans: Criminal Justice — Change By Decree By Marcia Kavanaugh • Jul 7, 2014 WYES WYES continues its ongoing initiative exploring progress rebuilding a safer, stronger, smarter city post-Katrina. The WWNO/ WYES series on Orleans Criminal Justice System reform takes an in-depth look into the NOPD and Orleans Parish Jail federal consent decrees in this report by WYES Community Projects Producer, Marcia Kavanaugh. The one hour video was produced by Paula Pendarvis, narrated by WYES Community Projects Producer Marcia Kavanaugh, with editing and creative direction by WYES producer Tom Gregory. Death Penalty Drugs Bill Advances By Sue Lincoln • May 5, 2014 Listen Listening... / If you can't get lethal injection drugs, how do you impose the death penalty? "We have the death sentence. Whether some of you agree with that or disagree with it, that's what we have," said House Criminal Justice committee chairman Joe Lopinto. "If we're going to have that we need to be able, as a state, to follow through with that order." Temporary Agreement Reached For Orleans Parish Prison By Associated Press • Apr 17, 2014 Bart Everson / Flickr Lawyers for the city of New Orleans and Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman have reached an agreement, for now, on how to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to reform the city's violent jail. The sheriff's office is under federal court order to improve conditions at the jail. Today's agreement covers about one-quarter of nearly $1.9 million provided last year for extra security, medical workers and pay raises for staff at the current jail. The remaining money will be used to look at numerous other issues, like plans for a new jail set to open later this year. An Unusual Coalition Opposes Sky-High Incarceration Rates By Jack Hopke & Tyler Bridges • Mar 17, 2014 Digital Archaeology / CoDiFi via Flickr Many lawmakers around the nation have adopted the "get tough on crime" slogan in the last 25 years. But Louisiana took it to heart, perhaps more so than anywhere else. Without question, Louisiana leads the country in the percentage of its residents imprisoned. The rate is twice as high as the national average. In fact, the state's figures are close to the worst in the world, inviting comparisons to countries like North Korea. Death Row Inmate Released From Angola By Eileen Fleming • Mar 12, 2014 msppmoore / Flickr Listen Listening... / 0:45 Glenn Ford released from Angola Prison. A Louisiana man has been released from death row after serving almost 30 years behind bars. New information shows he was not involved in the murder of a Shreveport jeweler in 1983. 19 Violations Found At St. Tammany Work-Release Facility By The Associated Press • Feb 24, 2014 Louisiana Department of Corrections officials have conducted a shakedown raid at a Covington work-release facility that houses state inmates. The facility's director said 19 inmates were sent back to St. Tammany Parish Jail for violating state regulations. Director Lester Mitchell said Sunday morning's shakedown was the second at the facility in the last two weeks. Cooling Plan In Store For Louisiana Death Row By The Associated Press • Feb 18, 2014 msppmoore / Flickr The state corrections department says the only way it can lower heat levels on Louisiana's death row to a federal judge's requirements is by installing air conditioning. U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson ruled in December that death row gets so hot it violates U.S. constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment. He demanded a plan to cool the cells so the heat index never goes above 88 degrees. Windows and fans are currently the primary sources of ventilation on death row. Audit Says Office Of Juvenile Justice Not Properly Monitoring Contracts By The Associated Press • Feb 10, 2014 Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration is doing a poor job making sure the prevention and diversion programs it uses are helping to keep children out of youth prisons. That's the finding of an audit released Monday by Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera's office that looked at the state's Office of Juvenile Justice. The audit says OJJ doesn't gather enough information from its contractors to adequately monitor programs that are supposed to provide treatment options for children and teenagers who have behavioral problems or who have been charged with misdemeanor crimes.

PRIMIR Report Analyzes Sheetfed's Future
Friday, August 08, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyReston, VA (August 07, 2008) To better understand printers' views on the future of sheetfed lithography, PRIMIR (the Print Industries Market Information and Research Organization) commissioned Reed Business Information to conduct a study entitled Trends in Sheetfed Lithography: 2006-2011. The study addressed the commercial, packaging and specialty market segments in areas such as characterization and analysis of capital equipment purchasing practices, press format and configuration preferences, automation, inline technologies, and environmental and safety issues.
Commercial sheetfed printers interviewed report they plan to increase their dependence on automation in the coming years. Several printers attributed stabilized print prices and higher profit levels to on-press automation and technological advances. "Our all-time record is 14 jobs in a single eight-hour shift on one of our new six-color sheetfeds with an average run length of 2,500 with complete job changeover and startup. On our older presses, we were lucky to finish three or four jobs per shift."
The study also revealed that while some printers are making great strides in implementing job definition format (JDF) enabled workflows, the vast majority of respondents appear to lack the workforce competencies required to market, implement and manage highly automated JDF workflows.
Not surprisingly, the study found that "environmental issues have crowded out health and safety matters," likely due to the ever-stricter health and safety regulations already in place. Within the next three years, a majority of the respondents feel issues related to corporate social responsibility, sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions will affect their entire operation including their press and supplies decisions. One respondent noted, "I have to admit we were caught a little off guard one day by the stipulation from our largest customer that we needed to help them minimize their carbon footprint in their printed material and collateral." And, that customer wanted a specific plan of action with achievable and measurable goals.
The study revealed that a number of sheetfed printers also operate digital presses-but mainly as short-run, quick-turnaround imaging machines, and not to produce unique high-value variable data work. For their 'bread and butter' work, these printers tend to favor 'utility-type' sheetfed presses (24" to 42") with perfecting and on-press coating or curing becoming the norm. As they upgrade, among other things to secure flexibility in their product offerings, printers are looking for on-press automation and technological advances to cope with shorter runs, smaller formats and quicker turnarounds.
While sheetfed offset printers hedge their bets by maintaining their 'bread and butter' work on their 'utility' presses, at the same time many are challenging themselves to build a customer base and find profits in the use of specialized digital equipment.
Research for Trends in Sheetfed Lithography: 2006-2011 included a two-stage Delphi Poll of over 25 experts, a web-based quantitative survey with over 582 respondents, and over a dozen in-depth end-user and vendor interviews.
The study was distributed exclusively to PRIMIR members in early 2008 and is now available for purchase by firms throughout the print industry supply chain.

This guide is based on a Sage article by Bob Michael.
Topo Map: Sloan NE 7½
Coordinates: Lat 35 55 51 Lon 115 02 31
Trip Stats: unknown
From old US 91 Las Vegas Boulevard South, the extension of "The Strip".About 1/2 mile south of the intersection with Nev. 146, near a huge RV supplystore, a residential road with widely scattered houses cuts due east from 91.This road is just south of where 91 curves west towards Sloan from its due north-south orientation through town. When the last of the homes is past, the road takes a dramatic turn for the worse. It's mapped as 4WD on the topo; it is passable with patience via a 2WD high clearance truck, but is slow, rocky andtedious. With perseverance, one finally intersects the "antenna road"at a point where it leaves the bajada and begins the ascent towards the towers. Drive 4 mile on this road to a major wash; park here.
Head straight upBlack's long, parabolic WNW ridge which leads right to the summit. The ridge steepens quite a bit below the summit but there are no real difficulties and itis a thoroughly delightful ramble.
This peaks lies just southeast of Las Vegas. From the top, one looks east over the grim, forbidding brown and black lava cliffs of the eastern escarpment of the range,over Boulder City to Lake Mead and the canyon of the Colorado. To the north,there is a unique perspective of the Las Vegas megalopolis, looking almoststraight down the Strip. Even though this inland urban sea laps at the base ofthe bajada coming off Black, the peak has a wonderfully unspoiled feeling of desert wilderness. "After taking in the sight of over a million people, their constructions and excesses, one merely rotates one's gaze 180' to the south, and looks out over a landscape without one trace of the existence of the human race; not a track, not a mine dump or power line, not a scratch."

I made this recipe last night for a couple of my hot chocolate loving friends. Of course I had to test it out first. The hot chocolate was great, although for just one or two cups I'll make the Williams-Sonoma Hot Chocolate. This recipe makes a lot of blocks and I don't think I'd eat/drink them all up quickly enough.
Cocoa Blocks
from King Arthur Flour
½ cup heavy cream
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (1 1/4 cups)
3 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (chopped chocolate bars or chips)
4 (1 oz) blocks unsweetened baking chocolate
wooden sticks
Line an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Heat the cream and condensed milk over low heat until steaming. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate; allow it to gently melt. After about 10 minutes, return the chocolate mixture to low heat to completely melt the chocolate. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and shiny. Add a few drops of flavoring oil if you like; hazelnut, coffee, or vanilla are popular flavors. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan; shake the pan gently to level. Sprinkle with cocoa, if desired. Set aside overnight to slowly set up. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and turn out onto a clean cutting surface. Slice into 1 ¼" cubes. Heat a knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut, for smoothest cuts. Stick a wooden stick into the center of each block. Roll in cocoa or crushed peppermint candy, if desired. Wrap in waxed paper, parchment, or plastic wrap to store. These store at room temperature 3-4 days, in the fridge about 10 days, in the freezer up to 30 days.
Yield: about 3 dozen blocks. (I only got 16 blocks, but I did cut off the edges so that it would look prettier)

With my older son we sleep trained him so he was sleeping through the night by like 8 weeks. However, he was formula fed and my little girl has nursed exclusively. She won't take a binky either... so I have been her bottle and binky! Which was fine and I loved the nighttime cuddles, but once she turned 10 months and was still getting up like 4 times a night I had to take action. It was beginning to affect my physical and mental health.
I debated whether or not I should even share this post because some are very opinionated when it comes to crying it out. So as you read please take into consideration that I am a mom just like you and we are all trying to do what we think is best for our kids.
With Jake I didn't mind letting him cry it out if I knew all of his needs had been met. Has he been fed? Yes. Has his diaper been changed? Yes. Has he been burped? Yes. Has he been cuddled and coddled enough during the day? Yes. Is he sick? No. Has he been hurt? No.
If I knew all his needs had been met I was fine with letting him cry a little bit. However, I don't know what it is about Chloe but I never let her cry it out until this point. She also has some lungs and endurance on her so I never wanted to let her cry!
After posting about how she still didn't sleep through the night I got a lot of responses saying I needed to sleep train. I also talked to her pediatrician about how she was getting up 4 times in the night still and he said it's because it's an automated response. They think, "If I cry, then mom comes and I get to nurse and cuddle." Which was fine! For 10 months... and then I decided for my mental health something needed to change.
I was either going to be considered by some to be a "bad mom" for letting my baby cry it out at night or I was going to be considered a "bad mom" for having no patience and being irritable towards my kids during the day because I was getting NO SLEEP.
So I decided to be the bad mom for letting her cry a couple nights. My pediatrician said that it usually only takes two or three nights at her age and then they're sleeping through the night. I tried letting her cry it out about a month ago and every 5 minutes I'd go in and rub her back and comfort her... turns out that actually would just make her more upset. I could tell she was just thinking. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING LADY?? Stop rubbing my back, pick me up and let me nurse!" So really me going in there would just escalate the crying.
The next time I tried the crying it out I sat outside her room and let her cry. It was painful because I just wanted to go in and pick her up but I knew it was what I had to do for both of us. The first night she woke up at 3 am and cried 30 minutes. Me and my husband just laid there awake wanting to go pick her up so bad.. she's so dainty and sweet! But I needed sleep to be a better mom. She woke up again after that at like 5 AM and cried another 5 minutes and then went to sleep.
The next night she woke up at 3 AM again and cried for like 15 minutes and went to sleep. Then she woke up at 5 AM again and fussed a little before falling asleep again.
I should add, the days after this she got extra extra cuddles. Also whenever I went in her nursery to get her up for the day she was smiling and as happy as ever. Not thinking that I abandoned her like some critics of crying it out think. She still loves me just as much!
The third night SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT! Wahoooo. She was so much happier during the day because SHE was finally getting the uninterrupted sleep her little body needed. I was a much more patient and loving mom during the day because I was finally getting the sleep that I needed!
So here is how our days look now
7 AM- Wake up and nurse.
8 AM- eat breakfast solids and have sippy cup of water available
9:30 AM- Nurse and then lay down for nap
Noonish- Wake up from nap and have lunch solids with sippy of water available
1 PM- Nurse before mom begins her work out
2:30 PM- Nurse and then lay down for nap
4 PM- Wake up from nap
6 PM- Dinner
7 PM- Bedtime routine
Our bedtime routine includes having a bath, put on nighttime diaper, rub on aveeno lotion (the best), rubbing some lavender essential oil on her feet, turning on the diffuser and diffuse some lavender essential oil, turn on our white noise machine, read a book, nurse, and then lay down for sleep.
Before I go to sleep (usually around 10 PM) I will go in and pick her up and nurse her one last time and then lay her back down. She pretty much stays asleep that whole time.
Here are the items we use. And I got them on Amazon because of course!
I hope this helps and that you sleep deprived mamas are able to find some relief like I have FINALLY found. Thanks for reading and for your continual support!

MILAN -- Pregnancy-associated iron deficiency occurred significantly less often with either of two intravenous iron supplements than with oral iron, according to results of a randomized trial.
Treatment with a single dose of IV ferric carboxymaltose or iron polymaltose tripled the mean change in iron and serum ferritin levels as compared with oral iron sulfate. The proportion of patients with serum ferritin levels <30 µg/L was 14% with IV iron versus 42% with oral iron, Australian investigators reported here at the European Hematology Association (EHA) meeting.
Other data reported at the EHA meeting showed that salvage therapy with allogeneic stem cell transplantation may overcome primary chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and two different antibody-drug conjugates demonstrated activity in heavily pretreated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
IV Iron Cuts Deficiency in Pregnancy
Untreated iron deficiency anemia of pregnancy can adversely affect maternal and fetal outcomes, Alhossain Khalafallah, MD, of Launceston General Hospital and the University of Tasmania in Hobart, and colleagues noted in a late-breaking poster presentation. A 2,000-patient screening study showed that a fourth of pregnant women had low hemoglobin or iron stores. The observation provided the basis for a randomized trial to compare two IV iron supplements and an oral supplement.
Eligible patients were in the second or third trimester of pregnancy and had baseline hemoglobin levels of 8.5 to 12 g/dL and low iron stores, defined as ferritin levels <10 ng/mL or saturation <20%. Patients were randomized to short-infusion (15 minutes) ferric carboxymaltose, slow-infusion (2 to 3 hours) iron polymaltose, or oral iron sulfate.
The primary endpoint was the change in hemoglobin levels and iron stores from baseline to 4 weeks.
The final analysis included 205 patients. The IV iron group (both formulations combined) had a mean increase in hemoglobin of 0.95 versus 0.32 g/dL for patients randomized to oral iron sulfate (P<0.02). Mean serum ferritin level increased by 196 versus 62 ng/mL in patients treated with the oral iron supplement. Significantly fewer patients treated with IV iron had serum ferritin levels <30 mcg/L (P<0.01).
The two IV iron supplements did not differ with respect to change in hemoglobin levels, but iron carboxymaltose was associated with a greater increase in serum ferritin (198 versus 119 ng/mL with iron polymaltose). Ferric carboxymaltose also was better tolerated, Khalafallah and colleagues reported.
A cost-effectiveness analysis showed that oral iron was the least expensive option for treating pregnancy-associated iron deficiency ($80.35 per month, plus additional cost for managing patients with ferritin level <30% at delivery). IV iron polymaltose had the highest cost ($335.15), followed by $315.40 for ferric carboxymaltose.
Stem-Cell Tx Boosts Survival in Refractory AML
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation significantly improved survival when added to salvage therapy for primary chemorefractory AML, which had an overall poor prognosis, a retrospective cohort study showed.
Transplantation plus aggressive salvage chemotherapy reduced the survival hazard by more than 40% compared with chemotherapy alone. By themselves, salvage chemotherapy regimens led to an overall response rate of 46% in 724 patients with primary refractory AML.
Patients who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (n=380) had a 4-year overall survival of 34% as compared with 8% who had intensive salvage chemotherapy without transplantation, reported Mohammed Wattad, MD, of Klinikum Essen Sud in Essen, Germany.
Several studies have shown that failure of initial induction therapy is a major unfavorable prognostic factor for AML, and patients rarely attain a cure thereafter. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with primary refractory AML, although most patients still have an unfavorable prognosis because of limited ability of salvage chemotherapy regimens to achieve objective responses prior to transplantation, Wattad said.
To inform decision making regarding salvage regimens, investigators at several German centers reviewed records of 3,324 patients treated for newly diagnosed AML during 1993 to 2008. The review identified 848 patients who had primary refractory disease, as determined by clinical failure of induction chemotherapy.
Evaluation of salvage regimens given to the patients showed that most (531) received high-dose cytarabine-based therapy plus mitoxantrone, combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO, 129) or fludarabine-based treatment. Of 724 patients who received intensive salvage chemotherapy regimens, 37% attained complete remissions and 9% had partial remissions.
Multivariate analysis identified several positive prognostic factors for survival: treatment that included treatment with ATRA (OR 2.23, P=0.0005), GO (OR 3.05, P<0.0001), or fludarabine (OR 2.60, P=0.02), as well as stem cell transplantation (OR 5.56, P=0.0001). Negative prognostic factors consisted of high-risk cytogenetics (OR 0.51, P=0.001) and log10 white blood cell count (OR 0.72, P=0.02).
An extended Cox regression model that included stem cell transplantation as a time-dependent covariable identified transplantation as a significantly favorable influence on survival (HR 0.58, P<0.0001), salvage regimens incorporating ATRA plus GO (HR 0.61, P=0.05) or fludarabine (HR 0.48, P=0.005). High-risk cytogenetics remained a significantly unfavorable prognostic marker (HR 2.05, P<0.0001), log10 white blood cell count (HR 1.37, P<0.0001), and FLT-3/ITD mutations (HR 1.40, P=0.007).
Antibody-Drug Conjugates and Pretreated NHL
Two different antibody-drug conjugates led to objective responses in more than half of patients with pretreated NHL.
The conjugates achieved overall response rates (ORR) of 56% to 57% among patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 60% to 70% of patients with follicular lymphoma.
The anti-CD79b antibody (polatuzumab) linked to the microtubule inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE, vedotin) led to a higher rate of complete response in patients with follicular lymphoma, whereas the anti-CD22 antibody pinatuzumab conjugated with vedotin demonstrated an advantage over polatuzumab, reported Franck Morschhauser, MD, of Hôpital Claude Huriez in Lille, France.
The most troublesome adverse effect was peripheral neuropathy, which was manageable in most instances with dose delays, interruptions, and reductions, although some patients did discontinue because of the effect. Neutropenia was the most common grade 3/4 adverse event.
"Combination studies of CD79b antibody-drug conjugate with chemotherapy and strategies to evaluate and reduce peripheral neuropathy are ongoing or in planning," Morschhauser said.
Most hematologic malignancies express CD22 and CD79b, providing a rationale for conjugate therapy. Both antibody-conjugate products demonstrated clinical activity in phase I trials, leading to the phase II randomized trial reported by Morschhauser and colleagues in Europe, the U.S., and Canada.
Data analysis comprised 41 patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and 81 with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. The patients had received a median of two to three prior therapies and as many as 10 prior regimens. All patients received rituximab (Rituxan) and were randomized to the two antibody-drug conjugates.
Morschhauser reported that 42 patients with DLBCL and 21 with follicular lymphoma received pinatuzumab vedotin and polatuzumab vedotin was administered to 39 patients with DLBCL and 21 with follicular lymphoma. Data represented a median follow-up of 9.9 months.
In the DLBCL group, 10 patients attained complete responses and 14 partial responses with pinatuzumab vedotin, resulting in an response rate of 57% (24 of 42 patients). Polatuzumab vedotin led to complete responses in six patients and partial responses in 16, resulting in an ORR of 56% (22 of 39).
In the follicular lymphoma group, two of 21 (10%) patients attained complete responses with pinatuzumab vedotin as did eight of 20 (40%) patients treated with polatuzumab vedotin. Partial response rates were 52% (11 of 21) and 30% (six of 20) with pinatuzumab and polatuzumab, respectively.
Median duration of response with pinatuzumab was about 6 months in both groups of patients, whereas the median had yet to be reached in the polatuzumab-treated patients.
Khalafallah and colleagues disclosed no relevant relationships with industry.
Wattad and colleagues disclosed no relevant relationships with industry.

text: Every insurance company has the insurance options you need. As an experienced certified driver leased to a carrier, the insurer probably provides the majority of your liability insurance coverage. It is always advisable to have special non liability and physical damage liability insurance when you are the owner and the driver The following are the main types that you might want to know: Bobtail Insurance aka Non Trucking Liability (NTL) This is a type of coverage available to leased operators who operate under a motor carriers' authority. NTL provides liability coverage when the truck is being used for purposes outside the scope of the lease like truck working on weekends to run errands. Bobtail liability is a business auto policy with the Truckers, in short it is Insurance for Non-Trucking Use. This is useful when you lease third party Though Bobtail insurance and NTL are used interchangeably very often, they are not always the same. Bobtail insurance typically protects the tractor when it's being operated without a trailer, regardless of whether or not it's under dispatch. Non-Trucking Liability, however, protects the tractor when it's being operated off dispatch, regardless of whether or not it's pulling a trailer. Primary Liability Insurance Every trucker or trucking company who operates under their own authority is required to carry primary liability coverage on all owned units and either provide this insurance for their leased vehicles or insure that the leased operator carries it on their own. Generally, the motor carrier provides this coverage for the leased operators. Leased Operator Insurance As an owner operator, your insurance needs are complex. You need to protect your livelihood and your equipment; and if you are leased onto a motor carrier, your coverage need will be determined under the lease agreement. While some employers may offer to provide this insurance coverage, you can often get a better deal by purchasing them yourself. Plus, you'll be able to make choices to customize your policy to your needs and know exactly how much protection you're getting. Cargo Insurance Cargo Insurance provides coverage for loss or damage to the property a truck is transporting. This type of coverage is generally, though not always, is provided by the motor carrier for leased operators. Motor carriers purchase insurance in case of a loss for the transportation of truck cargo that's been transferred into their care, custody and control. The limits for motor truck cargo insurance are determined by the type and value of the freight that's transported, and should be tailored to your specific trucking operation by an expert in the field of trucking insurance. This type of policy should be carefully considered prior to purchase; under-insuring the cargo can negatively impact a trucking operation in the event of a major loss. The responsibility of the transporter and the value of the load should be established and mutually agreed upon prior to shipping. The U.S. Department of Transportation Code 49 USC 1390 states that drivers operating within federal jurisdiction has to show proof of cargo insurance with a minimum of $5,000 for damage or loss of contents and $10,000 for aggregated damage or loss. Physical Damage Insurance This provides coverage for repair or replacement for damage resulting from a covered loss (collision/rollover, fire, theft, hail, windstorm, earthquake, flood, mischief, or vandalism) to owned vehicles. Physical Damage coverage offers 24 hour protection for your tractor and trailer which includes: Comprehensive (fire or explosion, theft, windstorm, hail, earthquake, flood, vandalism and more) Collision (damage caused by collision with another object) Deductible Options ($500, $1000, $2500) Towing and Storage (limit of $5000 or 10% of equipment value, whichever is greater after a covered loss) GAP coverage This coverage is not required by law but if you finance your vehicle the lien holder will require it. It is important to insure your truck for the real value. Do not over or under value the vehicle as the insurance company will only pay market value at the time of the loss. Occupational Accident Insurance Type of commercial truck insurance designed specifically for owner operators in the trucking industry. Occupational accident insurance covers eligible on-the-job accidents that owner-operators or contract drivers sustain while under dispatch. Occupational Accident Insurance is part of an effective, affordable, reliable solution for motor carriers and truckers alike. In most states, by being self- employed owner operators can opt out of state mandated workers compensation coverage. While not the same as workers compensation, occ/acc is similar in scope and intent. Most motor carriers require their leased operators to be covered either by workers compensation or occ/acc at the leased operators' expense. For those who qualify, occ/acc is generally a lower cost alternative. Occupational accident insurance is customized for motor carriers, owner-operators and contract drivers. Coverage pays benefits for accidental death or dismemberment, accident-related medical expenses and temporary or continuous total disability. Motor carriers can increase coverage to include non-job-related accidents, felonious assault, paralysis, seat belt use, air bag equipped vehicle, severe burns and passenger accidents. Occupational accident insurance is not a substitute for Workers' Compensation coverage. Commercial Auto Liability Insurance A commercial auto liability policy will be required if you drive a commercial auto/truck and transport cargo of others. This policy will provide coverage for bodily injury and property damage to others. The auto could mean a commercial bus, tractor trailer, van or any public vehicle carrying passengers or cargo. Getting commercial auto liability coverage is necessary as it involves dealing with governmental filings.

Awesome Children's Book
Genre: Children's Book
Book Length (Est.): 32 Pages
Book Description/Synopsis:
One minute your child is fine. The next minute, a broken bone. Hours later, in a clunky cast. For weeks or months, sidelined from favorite activities. If your child is like Sammy, (s)he gets glum and grumpy as days slog by.
Help is pages away in Sammy's Broken Leg (Oh, No!) and the Amazing Cast That Fixed It, a whimsical book to entertain a child in a cast for healing a broken bone, or in a spica cast for hip correction (hip dysplasia).
Children in a cast will delight in a troupe of Kisses who cheer for Sammy and coach her to be patient. The Kisses are Sammy's secret: only she can hear them. How and when they whooshed into her life will amaze and amuse.
It all goes to prove: One Kiss for a Boo-Boo. A Bazillion Kisses for a Cast!
Mindy's Review:
Sammy loves to jump, twirl and run. That is until she falls and breaks her leg.
The illustrations in this book are wonderful. The details of the hospital visit can make any child feel safe and comfortable if they are ever in this situation.
Everyone has a child that loves to be a kid. All of the jumping and running can lead to a fall. My daughter is 9 years old and she acts just like Sammy. So we read this together and she loved it as much as I did. This is a book that we can read over and over again. And if anything was to ever happen to her or one of her friends I think they would find comfort in this story.
I will recommend this to all of my daughters friends to read.
