The Desmond Tutu HIV Centre and the University of Cape Town are proud to present the first online postgraduate qualification from the Faculty of Health Sciences: the Postgraduate Diploma in TB-HIV Management.
Healthcare practitioners at primary care health facilities, are faced with complex TB/HIV cases on a daily basis. Thus comprehensive knowledge of TB/HIV is essential to effectively manage the large case-burden attributed to these diseases.
The online postgraduate diploma (PGDip) aims to provide doctors and nurse practitioners with the comprehensive knowledge needed to manage HIV and TB infected patients at primary care health facilities. The two year qualification is in line with the latest South African national guidelines and best practices.
In response to the unique needs of an adult health-care practitioner working in a busy clinic outside of urban areas – this diploma is designed for online learning in the comfort of one's home after the busy work day is done. With no need to travel far distances for physical lectures, the student can access the engaging and interactive course content from their laptop, mobile phone or table over the internet, at a time that suits them.
The diploma consists of four online training courses (details below):
Year 1
● Clinical Management of HIV (Semester 1)
● Clinical Management of TB ( Semester 2)
Year 2
● TB/HIV Co-infection (Semester 1)
● Operational Research (Semester 2)
There is also a Biostatistics component at the end of year 2.

Since its inception, approximately 150 doctors and nurses have received training through this programme. This is what some of them had to say about their online learning experience:
"I am able to learn more while at home, despite my busy work."
"The clinical topics covered were the most enjoyable and beneficial. I found them to be very stimulating as I was able to readily apply what I was leaning to my everyday working experiences with patients."
"I found the notes to be excellent and very easy to read and understand which made the need for direct contact not necessary at all."
"One, the flexibility to study while working. Two, the luxury of time for the course. Three, the ease of learning through the online interaction both audio and visual was very good."
"The course helped me better understand infection control measures and as a result to implement them on the working place."
"I found the course very organised. I liked the way TB information was unpacked. The most daunting subjects like MDR and XDR-TB were presented in a simplified manner that was easy to understand."
It is estimated that only 60% of people worldwide with HIV know their status. The remaining 14 million people still need access to tests and treatment.
The Tutu Tester and Tutu Teen Truck mobile units provide a free, comprehensive health service to underserved communities. Since the unit's inception in May 2008, over 50 000 individuals have been seen by the dedicated Tutu Tester team; 30 – 50 people are seen each day. The Tutu Teen Truck has seen nearly 7 000 people.
The Tutu fleet are in the field daily offering nutrition and healthy lifestyle education, HIV counselling and testing, point of care CD4 testing, screening for tuberculosis, and a range of general health screening tests. The aim is to improve the health of individuals in vulnerable communities and to normalise HIV testing.
The Tutu tester, the first in the Tutu fleet, is committed to going into underserved communities to provide free and confidential healthcare.
The primary focus of the project is to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition and transmission in all tested clients irrespective of a positive or negative HIV status. The unit has covered many areas servicing the public at transport hubs, farms, factories, hotels, gay bars, and sporting events to name a few. The team plays an important role in linking patients who need care to public health services and following up with cell phone calls where necessary.

The second vehicle in the Tutu fleet. The Tutu Teen Truck provides the services of the Tutu truck but for adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 24. Adolescents can receive HIV, TB, Diabetes, STI, and Pregnancy Tests and can also come for advice and information about their sexual and reproductive health.
The truck will usually arrive at its destination between noon and 1pm. It closes around 6pm everyday, but tries not to turn anyone away. You can find the next location here.
Medical results will remain between the Teen Truck Staff and the patient. By law, beginning at the age of 12 South African children can seek out their own medical attention including testing and treatment without parental consent.

Tutu Kwik!
Currently, there are two mobile units in the Tutu Truck fleet: the Tutu Tester, which provides testing and screening services to the general public; and the Tutu Teen Truck, which aims specifically to provide an adolescent-friendly mobile service and only caters to those aged 12-24 years.
The Tutu tester was introduced in 2008 to bring healthcare to communities where there was HIV but patients weren't seeking treatment.
Soon after, a second truck, the Tutu Treater was introduced as a roaming pharmacy so that people who were diagnosed with HIV or another illness they could get treatment straightaway. The treater ended its funding cycle in 2012, however, that isn't the end of its story.
There was seen to be a need for an adolescent-exclusive Tutu Tester and thus the retired Tutu Treater was re-branded as the Tutu Teen Truck. The newly christened Tutu Teen Truck continues to provide medical services to young people.
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and Agénce Francaise Development provided the funds to build the unit and Metropolitan Health assisted with running costs for the first years.
We are proud that the service is now South African funded through a new partnership with Metropolitan and Discovery Health. We are most grateful to both companies for their commitment to public health enabling this vital service to continue.
We are actively seeking additional partners for the on-going support of this project.
The aim of the HIV education programme is to improve the care of men and women who are infected with HIV in all communities of South Africa. The manual for this distance-learning course for doctors and nurses was updated in July 2015 to reflect the latest policies and guidelines on ARV treatment.
The training manual consists of six modules covering all aspects of patient care and antiretroviral management:
It includes case studies and has a multiple choice question and answer self-assessment component. It is a practical guide that is intended to provide primary health care workers with the knowledge they need to manage patients infected with HIV efficiently and effectively.
The course can be studied alone or in small groups managed by a course convener. The training manual costs R294.00 incl vat and can be ordered from Bettercare at firstname.lastname@example.com. It is also freely available online at the Bettercare Learning Station.
The programme was written as a distance learning course for both doctors and nurses, but it may also be useful in the training of medical and nursing students as well as counsellors who educate and mentor patients commencing antiretroviral treatment.
The authors of the Adult HIV Education Programme consist of doctors and nurses who have an active interest in the management of adults with HIV. This ensures a balanced, practical and up-to-date approach to clinical problems.
Many colleagues at other South African universities and health services were consulted with a view to reaching consensus on the management of most adult HIV problems. Every attempt has been made to comply with current national management protocols.
The Hannan Crusaid Treatment Centre is situated at the Gugulethu CHC. It is a primary health care ART programme which was established in 2002 by the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation and the Western Cape Provincial Department of Health with the assistance of a UK charity, Crusaid through a donation bequeathed by Katy Hannan.
From the start of the ART programme, the DTHF initiated an innovative adherence strategy called the Sizophila Project. Sizophila which means "We shall Survive" in Xhosa, was started to provide education and support for patients on TB and ART through the provision of individual counselling, group training sessions and home visits.
This programme employs counsellors and community care workers most of whom are undergoing HIV treatment themselves. These lay workers are able to empathize with the fears and concerns of their patients and are living proof that the HIV and TB drugs do work. The Sizophila counsellors were recruited and initially trained by the DTHF Training Department to provide the following services: treatment readiness assessments, treatment preparedness education and treatment support though conducting home visits.
The Sizophila model formed the basis of the adherence support system for the TB/ART integration project which was piloted at the Nyanga CHC. In 2011, this model was incorporated in the Western Cape policy document on Integrated TB/HIV Community Adherence Support.
In 2008 the Sizophila Counsellors were recognised for their outstanding work and received the Plantinum Impumelelo Award for their exceptional commitment and contribution to the community of Gugulethu.
Improving family planning services for people living with HIV in the Western Cape Province
The Family Planning Integration into HIV Care and Treatment Services (FPI) project aims to increase the uptake of effective family planning (FP) services and improve contraceptive coverage to reduce unmet FP needs, and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies among people living with HIV in the Western Cape.
Through intensive workshops, onsite mentoring and support, and distribution of educational materials, the FPI project is enabling doctors, nurses and NGO counsellors at HIV treatment and wellness clinics to address clients' FP needs during routine HIV consultations, thereby ensuring integration of the two services for the benefit of the client.
The FPI project emphasises the need for healthcare providers to:
Key FPI project achievements

The sensitisation training manual and programme focuses on supporting health care workers in providing better services to men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers (SW), and people who use drugs (PWUD). The manual was developed to support the sensitisation of health care-workers who are providing services to key populations.
These people are often stigmatised, excluded from society, and some of their behaviours may be illegal. These factors contribute to their vulnerability to HIV.
The manual was designed as part of a full sensitisation training programme, but can also be used as a stand-alone resource.

Of course, Jill Barklem's artwork is so amazing! A beautiful way to display more of her lovely Brambly Hedge illustrations is on a duvet! Brambly Hedge has been a very important part of our family for many years. We are grateful for Jill every day. (The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 has nothing to do with the artwork-- I really don't like the fabric that Fine Art America used for the duvet. It feels terrible. I would've liked a nice cotton or flannel.)

Join a Community Garden
By Vanessa Richins
One easy way that urban dwellers can participate in gardening is through a community garden.
In a community garden, a group of people share plots in one common piece of land.
This is a great way for those with no space to still enjoy the wonders of gardening. You can look at the American Community Garden Association's website, to see if there is one near you.
If there is not one nearby, you could consider starting your own. There are several steps involved in starting a community garden.
1. Planning: As with any project, you must firststart planning out what you intend to accomplish. Decide what kinds of plants. Try to find a garden sponsor to help with garden costs, and other sources of free materials.
2. Choose a site: Look around the area to see your choices available for plots. Be sure to ask permission from the owner. Test the soil to see nutrient levels, and if there has been any consideration. Make sure there is enough sunlight every day. Consider how you will water the site.
3. Prepare the site: Remove all weeds as necessary. You may also have to remove trees. Till the land and add in nutrients. Section off the individual plots.
4. Organize the garden: Once you have chosen your site, you also need to prepare a design of how the garden will be laid out. Rules must be laid out – for example, will you require that participants practice organic gardening? Set out guidelines of how things should run in the garden and what happens when people leave. Make everything clear.
5. Start gardening!: This is the best part. Soon you will be enjoying vegetables, fruits, and flowers that you grew yourself.
For more information, check out the American Community Garden Association's website. I also have a list of companies, organizations, and funds that donate seeds and money, if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately, all the community gardens around me have a waiting list that's a half-mile long 🙁
In lieu thereof, I've decided to create an epic container garden on my balcony, and blog the entire process (since this is my second year gardening, and my first year being serious about it): http://www.geekygardener.com/

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI/AJC Music Scene
A few songs into her set, Mary J. Blige sat on a purple and black chair and proclaimed, "Ain't nothin' like the strength of a woman, baby!"
That sentiment – along with many other empowering statements made by the empress of the rousing testimonial – is not only a reference to Blige's tour and new album, both christened "Strength of a Woman," but a mantra that Blige fully believes.
At her Tuesday night show at Wolf Creek Amphitheater, Blige hit the stage with hips wiggling and waist twisting for "Love Yourself" and "The One." The fervent, sold-out crowd leapt upward at the first notes from her five-piece band and stayed in that position throughout the show, fully immersed in Blige's scorching presentation.
She zipped through the first 20 minutes of the concert with nods to the early-'90s on "You Bring Me Joy" and "Real Love," shimmying around the stage in sequined gold pants and a crop top that advertised a peek at abs that don't normally belong to 46 year olds.
Throughout her 25-year-career, Blige's conviction has always been of great appeal. She's honest and real with her fans and they appreciate the transparency.
She's made no secret of her split last year with husband Martin "Kendu" Isaacs, and used the pain of the breakup as fodder for her current album. She also is employing the stage as her pulpit – always a highlight of her shows.
"Fellas," she said, not wanting to neglect the minority component of the crowd, "you can only have ONE queen. Not two queens, not three queens. Take care of your queen and she'll take care of you."
Preach, Mary, preach.
Before edging into the silky, finger-snapping soul that colors "Share My World" and the "Sukiyaki"-sampling "Everything," Blige again addressed the crowd, this time to thank the fans "who never left me alone."
Considering the brisk pace of the first part of the show, no one could quibble with Blige taking a quick clothes-change break and turning the spotlight on her band and three backup singers for a few minutes.
She returned in thigh-high black boots, ripped jean shorts and a floppy white hat for the open-arms ballad "My Life."
Blige drained her lung power on the song, a feat she accomplished many times during the show. Her full, throaty voice sliced clear through the night air as she unleashed her potent pipes on her hit cover of Rose Royce's "I'm Goin' Down."
"I'm not sorry," she bellowed at the close of the song, waving a finger at the crowd, which provided an energetic assist on the chorus.
Blige acknowledged her new album with the obviously personal "Set Me Free" and, now about a week into her tour, debuted "Glow Up," a rap-heavy middle finger to someone who did not treat her like a queen.
Watching Blige perform, it reminded of all of those reality TV music show contestants who always feel the need to punctuate their performances with annoying vocal runs. You know what? Leave the acrobatics to battle-tested pros such as Blige. She knows how to handle them.

Reading List: Obsessive Genius
- Goldsmith, Barbara. Obsessive Genius. New York: W. W. Norton, 2005. ISBN 978-0-393-32748-9.
- Maria Salomea Skłodowska was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, then part of the Russian Empire. She was the fifth and last child born to her parents, Władysław and Bronisława Skłodowski, both teachers. Both parents were members of a lower class of the aristocracy called the Szlachta, but had lost their wealth through involvement in the Polish nationalist movement opposed to Russian rule. They retained the love of learning characteristic of their class, and had independently obtained teaching appointments before meeting and marrying. Their children were raised in an intellectual atmosphere, with their father reading books aloud to them in Polish, Russian, French, German, and English, all languages in which he was fluent. During Maria's childhood, her father lost his teaching position after his anti-Russian sentiments and activities were discovered, and supported himself by operating a boarding school for boys from the provinces. In cramped and less than sanitary conditions, one of the boarders infected two of the children with typhus: Marie's sister Zofia died. Three years later, her mother, Bronisława, died of tuberculosis. Maria experienced her first episode of depression, a malady which would haunt her throughout life. Despite having graduated from secondary school with honours, Marie and her sister Bronisława could not pursue their education in Poland, as the universities did not admit women. Marie made an agreement with her older sister: she would support Bronisława's medical education at the Sorbonne in Paris in return for her supporting Maria's studies there after she graduated and entered practice. Maria worked as a governess, supporting Bronisława. Finally, in 1891, she was able to travel to Paris and enroll in the Sorbonne. On the registration forms, she signed her name as "Marie". One of just 23 women among the two thousand enrolled in the School of Sciences, Marie studied physics, chemistry, and mathematics under an eminent faculty including luminaries such as Henri Poincaré. In 1893, she earned her degree in physics, one of only two women to graduate with a science degree that year, and in 1894 obtained a second degree in mathematics, ranking second in her class. Finances remained tight, and Marie was delighted when one of her professors, Gabriel Lippman, arranged for her to receive a grant to study the magnetic properties of different kinds of steel. She set to work on the project but made little progress because the equipment she was using in Lippman's laboratory was cumbersome and insensitive. A friend recommended she contact a little-known physicist who was an expert on magnetism in metals and had developed instruments for precision measurements. Marie arranged to meet Pierre Curie to discuss her work. Pierre was working at the School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry of the City of Paris (EPCI), an institution much less prestigious than the Sorbonne, in a laboratory which the visiting Lord Kelvin described as "a cubbyhole between the hallway and a student laboratory". Still, he had major achievements to his credit. In 1880, with his brother Jacques, he had discovered the phenomenon of piezoelectricity, the interaction between electricity and mechanical stress in solids. Now the foundation of many technologies, the Curies used piezoelectricity to build an electrometer much more sensitive than previous instruments. His doctoral dissertation on the effects of temperature on the magnetism of metals introduced the concept of a critical temperature, different for each metal or alloy, at which permanent magnetism is lost. This is now called the Curie temperature. When Pierre and Marie first met, they were immediately taken with one another: both from families of modest means, largely self-educated, and fascinated by scientific investigation. Pierre rapidly fell in love and was determined to marry Marie, but she, having been rejected in an earlier relationship in Poland, was hesitant and still planned to return to Warsaw. Pierre eventually persuaded Marie, and the two were married in July 1895. Marie was given a small laboratory space in the EPCI building to pursue work on magnetism, and henceforth the Curies would be a scientific team. In the final years of the nineteenth century "rays" were all the rage. In 1896, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered penetrating radiation produced by accelerating electrons (which he called "cathode rays", as the electron would not be discovered until the following year) into a metal target. He called them "X-rays", using "X" as the symbol for the unknown. The same year, Henri Becquerel discovered that a sample of uranium salts could expose a photographic plate even if the plate were wrapped in a black cloth. In 1897 he published six papers on these "Becquerel rays". Both discoveries were completely accidental. The year that Marie was ready to begin her doctoral research, 65 percent of the papers presented at the Academy of Sciences in Paris were devoted to X-rays. Pierre suggested that Marie investigate the Becquerel rays produced by uranium, as they had been largely neglected by other scientists. She began a series of experiments using an electrometer designed by Pierre. The instrument was sensitive but exasperating to operate: Lord Rayleigh later wrote that electrometers were "designed by the devil". Patiently, Marie measured the rays produced by uranium and then moved on to test samples of other elements. Among them, only thorium produced detectable rays. She then made a puzzling observation. Uranium was produced from an ore called pitchblende. When she tested a sample of the residue of pitchblende from which all of the uranium had been extracted, she measured rays four times as energetic as those from pure uranium. She inferred that there must be a substance, perhaps a new chemical element, remaining in the pitchblende residue which was more radioactive than uranium. She then tested a thorium ore and found it also to produce rays more energetic than pure thorium. Perhaps here was yet another element to be discovered. In March 1898, Marie wrote a paper in which she presented her measurements of the uranium and thorium ores, introduced the word "radioactivity" to describe the phenomenon, put forth the hypothesis that one or more undiscovered elements were responsible, suggested that radioactivity could be used to discover new elements, and, based upon her observations that radioactivity was unaffected by chemical processes, that it must be "an atomic property". Neither Pierre nor Marie were members of the Academy of Sciences; Marie's former professor, Gabriel Lippman, presented the paper on her behalf. It was one thing to hypothesise the existence of a new element or elements, and entirely another to isolate the element and determine its properties. Ore, like pitchblende, is a mix of chemical compounds. Starting with ore from which the uranium had been extracted, the Curies undertook a process to chemically separate these components. Those found to be radioactive were then distilled to increase their purity. With each distillation their activity increased. They finally found two of these fractions contained all the radioactivity. One was chemically similar to barium, while the other resembled bismuth. Measuring the properties of the fractions indicated they must be a mixture of the new radioactive elements and other, lighter elements. To isolate the new elements, a process called "fractionation" was undertaken. When crystals form from a solution, the lighter elements tend to crystallise first. By repeating this process, the heavier elements could slowly be concentrated. With each fractionation the radioactivity increased. Working with the fraction which behaved like bismuth, the Curies eventually purified it to be 400 times as radioactive as uranium. No spectrum of the new element could yet be determined, but the Curies were sufficiently confident in the presence of a new element to publish a paper in July 1898 announcing the discovery and naming the new element "polonium" after Marie's native Poland. In December, working with the fraction which chemically resembled barium, they produced a sample 900 times as radioactive as uranium. This time a clear novel spectral line was found, and at the end of December 1898 they announced the discovery of a second new element, which they named "radium". Two new elements had been discovered, with evidence sufficiently persuasive that their existence was generally accepted. But the existing samples were known to be impure. The physical and chemical properties of the new elements, allowing their places in the periodic table to be determined, would require removal of the impurities and isolation of pure samples. The same process of fractionation could be used, but since it quickly became clear that the new radioactive elements were a tiny fraction of the samples in which they had been discovered, it would be necessary to scale up the process to something closer to an industrial scale. (The sample in which radium had been identified was 900 times more radioactive than uranium. Pure radium was eventually found to be ten million times as radioactive as uranium.) Pierre learned that the residue from extracting uranium from pitchblende was dumped in a forest near the uranium mine. He arranged to have the Austrian government donate the material at no cost, and found the funds to ship it to the laboratory in Paris. Now, instead of test tubes, they were working with tons of material. Pierre convinced a chemical company to perform the first round of purification, persuading them that other researchers would be eager to buy the resulting material. Eventually, they delivered twenty kilogram lots of material to the Curies which were fifty times as radioactive as uranium. From there the Curie laboratory took over the subsequent purification. After four years, processing ten tons of pitchblende residue, hundreds of tons of rinsing water, thousands of fractionations, one tenth of a gram of radium chloride was produced that was sufficiently pure to measure its properties. In July 1902 Marie announced the isolation of radium and placed it on the periodic table as element 88. In June of 1903, Marie defended her doctoral thesis, becoming the first woman in France to obtain a doctorate in science. With the discovery of radium, the source of the enormous energy it and other radioactive elements released became a major focus of research. Ernest Rutherford argued that radioactivity was a process of "atomic disintegration" in which one element was spontaneously transmuting to another. The Curies originally doubted this hypothesis, but after repeating the experiments of Rutherford, accepted his conclusion as correct. In 1903, the Nobel Prize for Physics was shared by Marie and Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel, awarded for the discovery of radioactivity. The discovery of radium and polonium was not mentioned. Marie embarked on the isolation of polonium, and within two years produced a sample sufficiently pure to place it as element 84 on the periodic table with an estimate of its half-life of 140 days (the modern value is 138.4 days). Polonium is about 5000 times as radioactive as radium. Polonium and radium found in nature are the products of decay of primordial uranium and thorium. Their half-lives are so short (radium's is 1600 years) that any present at the Earth's formation has long since decayed. After the announcement of the discovery of radium and the Nobel prize, the Curies, and especially Marie, became celebrities. Awards, honorary doctorates, and memberships in the academies of science of several countries followed, along with financial support and the laboratory facilities they had lacked while performing the work which won them such acclaim. Radium became a popular fad, hailed as a cure for cancer and other diseases, a fountain of youth, and promoted by quacks promising all kinds of benefits from the nostrums they peddled, some of which, to the detriment of their customers, actually contained minute quantities of radium. Tragedy struck in April 1906 when Pierre was killed in a traffic accident: run over on a Paris street in a heavy rainstorm by a wagon pulled by two horses. Marie was inconsolable, immersing herself in laboratory work and neglecting her two young daughters. Her spells of depression returned. She continued to explore the properties of radium and polonium and worked to establish a standard unit to measure radioactive decay, calibrated by radium. (This unit is now called the curie, but is no longer defined based upon radium and has been replaced by the becquerel, which is simply an inverse second.) Marie Curie was not interested or involved in the work to determine the structure of the atom and its nucleus or the development of quantum theory. The Curie laboratory continued to grow, but focused on production of radium and its applications in medicine and industry. Lise Meitner applied for a job at the laboratory and was rejected. Meitner later said she believed that Marie thought her a potential rival to Curie's daughter Irène. Meitner joined the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin and went on to co-discover nuclear fission. The only two chemical elements named in whole or part for women are curium (element 96, named for both Pierre and Marie) and meitnerium (element 109). In 1910, after three years of work with André-Louis Debierne, Marie managed to produce a sample of metallic radium, allowing a definitive measurement of its properties. In 1911, she won a second Nobel prize, unshared, in chemistry, for the isolation of radium and polonium. At the moment of triumph, news broke of a messy affair she had been carrying on with Pierre's successor at the EPCI, Paul Langevin, a married man. The popular press, who had hailed Marie as a towering figure of French science, went after her with bared fangs and mockery, and she went into seclusion under an assumed name. During World War I, she invented and promoted the use of mobile field X-ray units (called "Les Petites Curies") and won acceptance for women to operate them near the front, with her daughter Irène assisting in the effort. After the war, her reputation largely rehabilitated, Marie not only accepted but contributed to the growth of the Curie myth, seeing it as a way to fund her laboratory and research. Irène took the lead at the laboratory. As co-discoverer of the phenomenon of radioactivity and two chemical elements, Curie's achievements were well recognised. She was the first woman to win a Nobel prize, the first person to win two Nobel prizes, and the only person so far to win Nobel prizes in two different sciences. (The third woman to win a Nobel prize was her daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, for the discovery of artificial radioactivity.) She was the first woman to be appointed a full professor at the Sorbonne. Marie Curie died of anæmia in 1934, probably brought on by exposure to radiation over her career. She took few precautions, and her papers and personal effects remain radioactive to this day. Her legacy is one of dedication and indefatigable persistence in achieving the goals she set for herself, regardless of the scientific and technical challenges and the barriers women faced at the time. She demonstrated that pure persistence, coupled with a brilliant intellect, can overcome formidable obstacles.

Ducks' Selanne embraces playoffs curtain callby Curtis Zupke
ANAHEIM – For a few lucky Anaheim Ducks fans, patience paid off after a recent game.
More than an hour after Anaheim lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Honda Center on March 10, loyal Ducks fans milled about the north side of the building, hoping to get autographs from departing players.
Teemu Selanne, the popular veteran forward, stopped and signed, parking close to the loading dock.
There was just one slight problem.
"I blocked the intersection," Selanne said with a laugh. "The one bus came there and the driver was yelling, 'What are you doing?' [I said], 'Don't worry about it.' "
After 21 years, more than 1,400 games played and thousands of autographs signed, Selanne can block an intersection here or there, especially when he is once again giving back to the fans.
"It's funny because I think we have approached that kind of thinking, and been saying goodbyes for years already and we start laughing," Selanne said. "But there are a lot of people around the League that I've known for a long, long time. That's what I'm going to miss most, I think, and hanging around with the guys in the locker room. That's going to be the toughest, to let it go."
Earlier this month, Selanne sat down with a half-dozen local beat writers at his steakhouse in Laguna Beach for a wide-ranging discussion about his career. It was the kind of engaging conversation befitting the NHL's ultimate people person, and he seemed quite at ease with the second stage of his life on the immediate horizon.
Selanne said he hasn't reflected much about his legacy this season.
"If I would think about that, I would probably not come back after 2007," Selanne said. "It's tough when you have enough passion that I have. It's been fun. Obviously this [season] has been a little bit tougher, but the Olympics, even the outdoor game, it was unbelievable. I was like a little kid. It was really special. I'm very happy that I was part of that.
"You've got to see the whole picture. That's how it should be. When you get older, it has to start getting harder."
The tougher part is a reference to the reduced role Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau has given Selanne. Boudreau wisely rested Selanne in back-to-back games to keep him fresh and limited Selanne's ice time because he is no longer a top-six forward. Selanne has voiced his displeasure, but the question of how his final season will end is now the story.
Can the Ducks send him out on top? Or will has last game come in a visiting arena after a series loss? There is also the elephant in the room regarding Boudreau's history of first-round exits – two with the Washington Capitals and last season with the Ducks. All three of those series losses came in Game 7s.
"What we couldn't do last year was we couldn't take the next step," Selanne said. "That's why I always say you can't turn the switch on … [in the] playoffs, we have to take the next step."
Selanne said coming back for this season was the most difficult of his many retirement decisions. But the possibilities were laid out before him, and his love didn't wane.
Love from the fans was evident in the standing ovations for Selanne in Calgary, Edmonton, Florida and San Jose in the final weeks of the regular season. Even the rival Los Angeles Kings contacted the Ducks to inquire if Selanne would make his final regular season appearance at Staples Center on April 12.
Selanne played his last game against the Nashville Predators on April 4, and coach Barry Trotz acknowledged admiration for a player that had 53 points in 51 career games against him. Trotz's memory of Selanne goes back to when Trotz was an assistant coach at the University of Manitoba when Selanne broke in with the Winnipeg Jets.
"I've repeatedly said this when he hit 40: He's the fastest 40-year-old on the planet," Trotz said. "Above all that, he's had production for decades. But he's a guy that plays with joy. You talk about humble superstars, he's a guy that always has a smile on his face and always has time for people. To me, the professionalism of that; being humble, treating fans and people with great respect and playing with joy … he's one of my favorites of all time. I've told him that too."
It's a rare universal respect typically reserved recently for athletes such as Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees.
"He downplays it," Corey Perry said. "But when you see that, you want to give him his time and let him say 'Thank you.' The fans enjoy that. It's a great thing for everybody."
Can the noted agitator Perry envision having respect in every NHL arena?
"No. I tell you that right now," Perry said. "No chance. That would be something special to see."
Boudreau, as emotional as anyone in the sport, allowed himself to be a fan during Selanne's final regular-season games.
"I get the goose bumps like everybody else," Boudreau said. "You enjoy it. I wonder, sometimes, how it affects him, because he knows it's coming, but he's had so many accolades I think he takes it in stride.
"My first year, I'd come in here and watch my son play and he'd be sitting in the stands with the other parents watching his kids. I'd be going, 'Wow.' I'm not used to seeing such high-profile people being such a grounded person. It's part of his lovability and charm."
Last year, a Finnish documentary by JP Siili, "Sel8nne," was released. It showed all-access to Selanne and didn't shy from the negatives, including a potentially-fatal rally car accident early in his career and his older brother's incarceration. There is also an autobiography due out which has needed many rewrites.
"We have [worked on] the book 10 years," Selanne said. "It doesn't come out before I'm done."
Selanne seemed to indicate more will be revealed later but didn't divulge. He did provide some insight into his willingness to sign anything, anywhere at any time.
"When I was in elementary school I was practicing my autographs," Selanne said. "I got bored in the class. So I'm well prepared."

This paper investigates the cost components of bid-ask spreads around earnings announcements on the small Danish stock market in the 1990s. The results indicate that negative earnings surprises convey pricing information, suggesting the existence of significant information asymmetry between market makers and informed traders. Negative earnings surprises resulted in an increase in adverse-selection cost and trading volume while inventory-holding and order-processing costs decreased, leading to a combined decrease in the realized spread. The change in the realized spread is significant, while the change in the quoted bid-ask spread is negligible. Overall, the results suggest that informed traders' ability to assess firms' performance in the Danish stock market affects the bid-ask spread around announcements of earnings. The observed changes in cost components on the small Danish stock market are similar to those observed in larger and more active capital markets.

Cool party themes for adults can be centered around Rubik's Cubes, decade fashion, the seven deadly sins, custom superheroes and childhood memories. If a party is being thrown for a specific person, a good theme choice ties into the guest of honor's interests.
In a Rubik's Cube-themed party, everyone wears clothing items of different colors. People then swap clothing items with each other. The goal for each person is to have an outfit composed of one color.
There are multiple ways to throw a decades-themed party. The party could be dedicated to one decade, with everyone encouraged to show up wearing styles from that decade. Another way is to allow everyone to dress in the style of whichever decade they choose.
In a seven deadly sins-themed party, each room is dedicated to a sin. For example, the dining room could have plenty of food and be called the gluttony room. A game room with poker being played could be the greed room.
A custom superhero-themed party features guests inventing superhero concepts and showing up to the party as that character. They should have costumes and a creative storyline.
In a childhood-themed party, games from the guests' youth are played instead of adult games. Games can range from old board games to video games to outdoor sports.

The 1/72 scale display of captured Luftwaffe jet aircraft introduced in 2015 to the Jet Age Museum's model corner was a natural progression from earlier dioramas depicting Gloster built Hawker Typhoon fighter bombers attacking German armoured fighting vehicles and overflying such rocket weapons at the V2 ballistic missile, Bachem Natter and Messerschmitt Me163 Komet. It also offered the possibility of posing a Hawker Typhoon close to its nearest Luftwaffe equivalent, the Focke-Wulf Fw190.
As some of the best Jet Age Reserve Model Collection representations of Second World War Luftwaffe jet aircraft, Fw190s and Hawker Typhoons had been built with lowered undercarriages – and because the display would ideally be compact enough to fit an existing case – the scene was set in the summer of 1945.
The Luftwaffe had surrendered to the Allies and British, American and Soviet scientists were keen to learn the secrets of their recent aerial foes. In a corner of an airfield at which the cream of Nazi technology had been gathered for evaluation by white suited technicians, a high ranking RAF officer has arrived in a silver de Havilland DH80 Puss Moth to ask of his subordinates, "How do these German aircraft compare to our Hawker Typhoon?" The answers can be summarised as follows:
Hawker Typhoon single seat in line piston engined fighter
The Napier Sabre-engined Hawker Typhoon first flew in February 1940 although delivery to the RAF did not begin until September 1941 and engine and structural problems dogged the Typhoons early career as a low-level interceptor. However, from 1942, the Hawker Typhoon excelled in its role as a ground attack strike aircraft, fitted with four 20mm canon and either bombs or rocket projectiles.
In particular, Typhoons helped end the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 when they were able to halt the advance of German armour through the Ardennes. The Hawker Typhoon also provided the basis for the later Hawker Tempest and Sea Fury piston-engined fighters and most of the 3 330 examples were built in Gloucester.
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 single seat radial piston engined fighter
Ordered in 1937 to supplement the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Kurt Tank's Fw 190 broke with contemporary German design practice in having a radial air cooled engine which restricted the pilot's forward view and, it was thought, created more drag than an inline liquid cooled power plant. However, the Fw 190 was to become popular with pilots due to its wide track undercarriage and bubble canopy offering a clear rear view. First flown on 1 June 1939, the Fw 190 began to equip the Luftwaffe in late 1940 and within a year they were making low level daylight sweeps over southern England. Outclassing the Supermarine Spitfire V, Fw 190s were only matched by Spitfire IXs in partnership with four canon Hawker Typhoons and data gained from a captured Fw 190 informed the specification of the Hawker Sea Fury. The armament, speed, agility and faster roll rate of the Fw 190 made it a formidable opponent even in the hands of less experienced pilots.
Heinkel He 162 Salamander – single engine jet fighter
By 1943 the Luftwaffe's 4 000 aircraft were scattered from North Africa to Russia and unable to stop massed formations of Allied strategic bombers – escorted by Mustang and Thunderbolt fighters – attacking German cities and – more importantly – the production of oil and light alloys. On 8 September 1944 Minister of Armaments and War Production Albert Speer proposed a fleet of single engined fighters – to be made of wood and steel by semi-skilled labour – to counter this threat. While Messerschmitt focused on their twin engined 262, a design for the"People's Fighter" by Heinkel – who had built Germany's first jet aeroplane in 1939 – was chosen as being simplest and easiest to build. Named the Spatz (Sparrow) by Ernst Heinkel himself, the BMW 003 powered fighter was best known as the Salamander – a creature that survives fire. First flown on 6 December 1944, the 500 mph He 162 was the World's first production aircraft fitted as standard with an ejection seat. Although designed to be flown by members of the Hitler Youth, the unforgiving He 162 only equipped two Luftwaffe squadrons before the War ended.
Messerschmitt Me 262 – twin engine swept wing fighter
Heinkel's experimental 178 of 1939 and twin-engined twin-tailed 280 fighter design of 1940 used the same centrifugal gas turbine technology that Frank Whittle used on the Gloster E28/39 and Meteor but in 1940 the German Air Ministry decided to focus development on Messerschmitt's 262 – powered by more advanced axial flow turbojets. Production of these new engines by BMW and Junkers were hampered by shortages of high temperature metals and as a result the turbojets needed intensive maintenance during their short lives. The first Me 262 combining pure turbojet power and a suitable nosewheel undercarriage was thus not demonstrated to Hitler until 26 November 1943 when the Fuhrer decreed that the Me 262 be used as a bomber against a future invasion of France. Although armed with two rather than four nose canon, the Sturmvogel (Stormbird) Me 262 loaded with 1 00 kg of bombs was slow enough to be shot down by Allied fighters although the Schwalbe (Swallow) interceptor version – operational from August 1944 – additionally armed with rockets proved effective against two and four engined bombers. Fewer than 300 Me 262s – capable of 559 mph – were actually used in combat.
Horten H IX – twin engine flying wing bomber
In 1943 Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring required an aircraft which could carry 1 000 kg (2 200 lb) of bombs 1 000 km (620 miles) at 1 000 km/h (620 mph). This speed was beyond piston engines but the range and load challenged the thirsty and underpowered early turbojets. The Horten brothers – Walter and Reimar – had been working on flying wing gliders since the 1930s and believed that the low drag of this design could meet the "3 x1 000" challenge. Following a state investment of 500 000 Reichsmarks, a glider version of the Horten H IX flew in March 1944 after which the project was developed by Gothaer Waggonfabrik at Friederichsroda while the Horten brothers worked on a flying wing to bomb America. The first Horten H IX – built from carbon injected plywood panels stuck together with charcoal and sawdust – flew on 2 February 1945 before the factory was captured by the US Army on 14 April 1945. Although Westland and Armstrong Whitworth in Britain built experimental flying wings before and after the H IX, it was not until the 1980s that Northrop in the USA returned to the same format with the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
Arado Ar 234C – four engine bomber with V1 flying bomb
Wartime experience proved that speed alone could allow an aircraft such as the de Havilland Mosquito to reach its target past flak and fighters, thereby dispensing with the need for defensive gunners. The first prototype Ar 234s had twin Junker Jumo 004 turbojets but the sixth and eighth machines were powered by pairs of more powerful BMW 003 gas turbines, making them the first four-engined jets to fly. The twin engined Ar 234 V7 prototype also made history on 2 August 1944 as the first jet aircraft ever to fly a reconnaissance mission while twin engined B versions notably bombed the Ludendorff bridge at Remagen in an attempt to stop the Allied advance on Germany in March 1945.
The Ar 234C variant however was too late to see combat. Powered by four engines and featuring rocket assisted take off bottles on outer wing pylons, some examples were designated as launch platforms for V1 flying bombs as this model shows. These early pulse-jet powered cruise missiles had in fact already been launched at Greater Manchester by piston engined Luftwaffe bombers flying over the North Sea although the dorsal – rather than ventral – position of the V1 on the Ar 234 might not have been successful. A similar arrangement caused at least one Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird to crash when attempting to launch a ramjet powered reconnaissance drone in the 1960s.
The Whitehead Memorial Garden stands today in Tottington, near Bury, in Greater Manchester, as a memorial to those who died when a V1 launched by a Heinkel 111 fell there on Christmas Eve 1944. There were also casualties in nearby Oldham.
Fieseler Fi 103R Reichenberg piloted flying bomb
Between June and October 1944 over 9 000 Fieseler Fi 103 pulse jet powered pilotless flying bombs – also known as V1s – were fired at England from France. However, due to effective British defences – including early Gloster Meteor jets – only a quarter of these delivered their explosive payloads. The air launched Fi 103R concept replaced the V1's automatic pilot with a real one who could fly around defences to an objective – albeit with a miniscule chance of bailing out and parachuting to safety before the final dive. Although Fi 103Rs were tested by Heinz Kensche and Hanna Reitsch the project was abandoned on 15 March 1945
de Havilland DH80A Puss Moth communications monoplane
Built from 1929 to 1933, the DH80A moved light aviation from open cockpit biplanes – such as de Havilland's earlier Gipsy Moth – to cabin comfort, 100 mph cruising speeds and folding wings for easy storage. DH80As set many inter-War distance records including Jim Mollison's first solo east to west North Atlantic crossing, which took 31 hours 20 minutes in August 1932. British based DH80As continued to serve during World War II, notably with the Air Transport Auxiliary. Some examples are still airworthy today and indeed would not look out of place at a General Aviation airport such as Gloucestershire at Staverton among more modern Cessnas and Beechcraft.
Austin 10 Utility Truck
The model of the brown camouflaged Austin 10 Utility Truck (better known as Austin Tilly) waiting to transport the RAF "brass" away from the airfield comes from the Airfix Bomber Command Resupply Set although a range of Oxford Die Cast versions are also currently available. The Tilly was in fact the military version of the pre 1939 Austin 10 saloon. The chassis is the same size and it uses a "platform" construction that is the result of welding a pressed-steel floor to a frame, which results in great diagonal stiffness. The Austin Tilly featured some extra equipment compared to the civilian Austin 10 as well as a more powerful engine, including a water pump, bigger fuel tank and "cross-country" tyres. About 30 000 vehicles were built and in 2015 about 160 ´survivors` (from wreck to excellent) are on the Tilly Register.
Scammell Pioneer recovery vehicle
The Scammell Pioneer was developed in the late 1920s specifically for off road use. Similar vehicles were then being tested for use in the colonies where surfaced roads were scarce. The requirement matched that for military vehicles and the Army obtained a 20 ton tank recovery transporter from the Scammell Company in 1932. It was later followed by other Pioneers, gun tractors, more tank transporters and heavy breakdown tractors.
The essence of the Scammell's off road performance was its unique suspension system. Most Pioneers were driven only by the four rear wheels. These were mounted, two per side, on a metal casing containing a gear train. Each casing was pivoted at its centre allowing the two wheels to drive at a considerable angle from that of the vehicle's chassis. One rear axle transmitted power to the two gear trains.
The front unpowered axle was fitted with three attachment points, one at each end of the axle and the third, by means of an 'A' frame, under the cab. A single centrally pivoted transverse spring provided the suspension for this axle, with the result that it could rise and fall to a greater distance from the chassis than is possible in the case of the more common arrangement with a spring on each side.
The slow revving Gardner diesel engine and unusual suspension enabled the vehicle to haul prodigious weights, though at relatively low speeds, over very rough ground.

This initial visit is designed for Dr.Wood to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can help you and your condition.
After your consultation, Dr.Wood will perform a chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests may be performed as well.
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
At the conclusion of this initial appointment, you can choose to experience your first treatment. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime.
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include: ice application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid, and at home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire, our wellness team will work with you also to create healthy habits and routines for your lifestyle. Every person is unique, therefore everyone requires a customized wellness plan. The purpose of our wellness program is for you to achieve good spinal alignment, have a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a positive mental state.

This lively photograph by Eliot Elisofon from 1970, shows a group of Mbuti men and women in the Ituri rainforest, dancing and performing drums and wooden flutes. The energy is clear and the sense of rhythm palpable. For Mbuti peoples of Central Africa, music offers more than entertainment; it is central to rituals, collective cultural memory, and the logic of the land. Rhythm, progression, and movement play an integral part in Mbuti musical and visual arts.
Mbuti polyphonic musical arrangements are renowned worldwide, as are Mbuti painted barkcloths, or pongo. These cloths, made from the inner part of a ficus tree and pounded until dry and supple, are then inked by women. The artists are guided by their sense of rhythm, making each cloth unique. Characterized by alternations between repeating designs and abruptly interrupted linear patterns, some pongo can also be read like maps charting both order and disorder.
Pongo patterns may have been used to demarcate the rainforest home of an Mbuti community and its distinctive makeup of hunting grounds, clearings, waterways, and camps. While the visual strategies of an Mbuti barkcloth may differ from Western notion of a map, each pongo could nevertheless convey similar information: it mapped their sense of here, there, and elsewhere. The appealing aesthetics of Mbuti pongo are matched by their ability to impart deep cultural understanding and knowledge, and an intricate sense of rhythm and motion.
Earth Matters includes a wonderful example of one such barkcloth. Its staccato markings, cross-hatchings, and repeating chevron and diamonds create a sense of movement similar to that felt in Elisofon's photograph. Indeed, if you look closely at the image, it appears that the dancers may be wearing barkcloth, reinforcing the close connection between the two. Visit the exhibit yourself to take a closer look at the pongo, and consider the ways in which you inscribe personal and cultural meaning to place and representations of place, visually and auditorily. Do your mental maps include landmarks or cardinal directions? What about the GPS on your phone? For you, what gives rhythm and meaning to the part of the earth you inhabit?

On the drive back, just before I got to the river, I saw a squad car pulled over between the road and the railroad tracks.
A uniformed officer stood by the car, looking south, almost as if she were guarding the tracks. Just beyond her, those tracks turned into a trestle across the river, and I saw the broad- shouldered form of another officer walking out onto it. It was a scene just odd enough to make me pull over.
"What's going on?" I asked the patrolwoman when she approached my car. Sensing she was about to tell me to move along, I took my shield out of my jacket and flipped the holder open.
Her face relaxed a little from its hard-set position, but she didn't take off or even push down her mirrored shades, so that I saw my own face in them, distended as if by a fish-eye lens. I read her nameplate: officer moore.
"I thought you looked familiar," Moore said. Then, in answer to my question, she said succinctly, "Jumper."
"Where?" I said. I saw Moore's partner, now standing out on the train tracks mid-bridge, but no one else.
"She climbed down on the framework," Moore said. "You can kind of see her from here. Just a kid, really."
I craned my neck and did see a slender form on the webwork of the bridge, and then the flash of sunlight on dark-gold hair.

Best time to rent in Crofton area?
March 2nd, 2014 Categories: Questions and Answers
Q. When is the best time to contact an agent about renting a property in Crofton, Odenton, or Bowie?
A. If you plan to move in the next 30 days, now is the time to contact an agent about looking at rental properties. That's because most rental listings are already vacant and cleaned for the next tenant. Landlords are eager to find and accept a tenant to occupy the property and some may be more flexible about the terms and the tenant's credit qualifications than he/she would be for a later move-in. It's possible you can even negotiate a small discount in the advertised rent for a quick move-in, because landlords don't want to maintain a vacant property.
In recent weeks, several people have contacted me for spring and summer move-in dates, and it's difficult (perhaps even unlikely) to find a property listed now that will become available 60 or more days out, because current or recent tenants rarely give notice sooner than 30-60 days. After they move out, the landlord will probably need at least a few days to prepare the property for the next tenant.
I know you're eager to get started, so invest some time looking at rentals online to get a sense of market prices for the size and location you want. It would also be a good idea to order your free credit report to make sure there won't be any surprises when you make application.
At the time of application, you can expect to pay for a credit report for each adult who will occupy the property plus one month's rent and a security deposit, usually equal to one month's rent. If you ask, it's possible the agent and/or landlord will agree to hold either the first month's rent or security deposit until your move-in date. It won't be automatic – you'll have to ask!
If you have any additional questions about renting a property in the greater Crofton area, including Odenton and Bowie, please call my office at 410-451-6245.

Indonesian Government Must Resolve Issue of Fish Meal Production
Dependence on imports of fish meal as feed raw material to make Indonesian Poultry Society Forum (FMPI) asked the government to seriously develop these products themselves.
"The cost of production for poultry or fish aquaculture 70 percent comes from food, but the raw material in the form of fish meal we still have to import," said Coordinator FMPI, Don P Utoyo, through discussion and press conference Viv Asia "Reflecting on the Farm and Agribusiness Excellence Strategy Fishing Thailand "here on Wednesday.
According to him, the constraints of Indonesia to be able to produce fish meal itself because the producers of fish meal processing with a fisherman who could supply the raw materials their own ways.
"The perpetrator was still fishing effort on their own path. So can not process their own fish meal, but its resources there," he continued.
He said the government should be able to integrate suppliers of raw materials to processing fish meal, so that raw materials do not need to be exported again.
"In addition, we need to wait for the government's plan to provide incentives for the processing of this raw material feed. This is necessary in order to no longer support the import dependence," said Don.
Earlier in the discussion kepentinan fisheries stakeholders in the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), Head of Aquaculture Research Center for the CTF, Endhay Kusnendar, reveals further research is needed to replace fish meal given the amount of demand and price increases.
Price per metric ton of fish meal which jumped from 600 dollars to 2,000 U.S. dollars of the more burdensome in the homeland of fish farmers.
Look for alternative sources of protein solution in the form of a caterpillar magot of coconut oil is also still have to continue to be tested. The problem, the current surge in oil prices resulting in the production magot considered twice by the feed producers, he said.
"So it should be studied together is roughly what this fish meal replacement. In Australia, algae has begun to be developed to replace the fish meal protein. It can also be developed in the ground water due to abundant raw materials," continued Endhay

What's a quick bread? By definition it's bread that does not rely upon yeast to rise, but rather uses baking powder or baking soda as the leavening agent. You don't have to let the dough rise or to knead it; just a quick mix of ingredients and pop it in the oven. What you gain in time saved, you give up in light, airy texture. Most quick breads are dense and very moist. Not a bad thing, if you ask me.
Quick breads are usually flavored with fresh or dried fruit, vegetables, cheese, herbs or nuts that give the bread its distinctive flavor. This is also true for muffins. You'll notice that the tops of these breads often crack or split in the middle giving them a rustic character.
Chocolate and pumpkin flavors are combined in this surprising sweet-spiced quick bread. Peet's Coffee and Tea stores serve slices of this bread, along with steaming cups of their famous rich coffee. When I recreated the recipe, I wanted to make sure that the chocolate stood alone in the pumpkin batter. To achieve this effect, I used a skewer to streak melted chocolate through the batter.
This bread is a welcome holiday treat for breakfast, afternoon tea or for dessert with sliced ripe pears. You can make tinier versions of this quick bread in small disposable containers and give them as simple holiday gifts. Just make sure to bake them for about 20 to 25 minutes or until just cooked through.
Since the recipe doubles perfectly, make two loaves. Be sure to bake one loaf for slicing, and stick another in the freezer to for last minute occasions. Pumpkin Chocolate Loaf can also be the cornerstone of an extravagantly rich bread pudding. Follow any chocolate bread pudding recipe; instead of using bread, substitute this spiced pumpkin chocolate bread.
Help is on the Way:
Quick bread tips
- Replace old (more than 6 months) baking powder and baking soda for proper rising.
- Don't overmix, or the texture will be tough.
- Bake the batter as soon as you have prepared it, as the leavening strength will weaken if it is not exposed to heat promptly.
- Test that the bread is done by sticking a wooden skewer in the center; it should come out clean or just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes and then unmold on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Pumpkin chocolate bread
Serves 12
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
11/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into pieces
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Butter and flour a 9 x 5-inch nonstick loaf pan.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder and soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a mixing bowl, and stir together.
4. With an electric mixer, beat the butter in a large bowl until softened. Add the sugar and continue beating. Add the eggs and beat until well blended. Add the pumpkin, vanilla and the flour mixture, beating just until well blended.
5. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler on medium-high heat until totally melted, about 5 minutes. Or melt in a glass bowl in the microwave for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until completely melted and smooth.
6. Spoon half of the batter into the loaf pan. Drop spoonfuls of half of the chocolate mixture on top of the batter and then swirl the chocolate into the batter with a wooden skewer. Repeat with the remaining batter and chocolate, making sure to swirl the chocolate into the pumpkin well.
7. Bake the loaf for about 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean in the center. Let the loaf cool at least 15 minutes, and then invert onto a wire rack. Serve sliced warm or at room temperature.

text: Hello guys, Just a small contribution to offline seo entrepreneurs, it's a trick i'm using in my country and that works fine with small medium business. With firms it's a different deal. Well it's a kind of refferal, I make 1 year SEO contract with my costumers, they have to renew it each year. Let say they pay 2000 euro / year the upcoming year they'll paye 2000 euro. I mention in my contract a close saying starting from the 6th month (till the costumer see the results) the costumer can recommend us to other businesses. If he convince another business to do SEO and bring it to us he'll get 20% of what paid the new business as discount for his renewal. Let say my costumer Business A pay 2000 euro/year the business B (brought by A) have more competition and will paye 3000 euro/year The costumer A will have to paye only 1400 euro instead of 2000 (3000 euro - 20%= 600 euro) So if your costumers are satisfied by service they will think to renew every year, and would be happy getting lower price so they will try to bring you more compagnies and so on. I just started adding this in contracts and it works fine. And the costumers base gets bigger. But don't use it with firms it won't work, it may work only if it's a holding or a group with many campagnies in it but still didn't test it on firms. If this helps hit thanks

2012 Best's Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz

Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Cellar 8 - 10 years (2022-2024)
- Closure: Stelvin
The Best's Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz is one of Australia's icon wines delivering a Shiraz of great persistence and sophistication. It is produced from Henry Best's original 15 rows of vines planted in 1866 (making them some of the world's oldest and something of a national treasure) with yields of less than two tonnes per acre.
Opaque black purple colour with dark purple hue. Still quite youthful and unevolved the nose delivers lifted primary notes of blackberries, liquorice and dark plums followed by some subtle well integrated spicy toasty vanillin oak and light white pepper end notes. A wine of seamless elegance and power the palate delivers a seemingly weightless yet rich flavour profile of liquorice and blackberries infused with blackpepper followed by some perfectly integrated toasty vanillin oak with the black pepper persisting right throughout the palate to the long finish. Velvet smooth tannins with very long liquorice, blackberry, vanillin oak and blackpepper aftertaste. Very Limited Stocks.
Cellar 8-10 years.
Alc 14.5%
Other Reviews…..
The sheer vibrancy and purity of fruit is nothing short of a marvel from these grand, dry grown 1867 vines planted by Henry Best himself. The 2012 is just the 13th release, precociously backward on release, promising a monumental future, yet so irresistible now that it will take superhuman restraint to let it get there. Even in my strictly disciplined tasting routine I couldn't spit it. Such is its vibrancy of purple hue it's almost luminescent, radiating brilliant shafts of violets, black plums, black cherries and raspberries in all directions. Wrapped into its folds, layers of star anise, liquorice and high cocoa dark chocolate, lingering relentlessly amidst superfine tannins of pristine grace yet confident structure. One of the top half dozen Australian wines of the past year. 2800 bottles. Make sure you get one of them.
