Gökyüzü – Haringey's delicious new Turkish delight
Located in the heart of Haringey's Turkish community, Turkish restaurant chain Gökyüzü 's original venue in Grand Parade, Green Lanes, has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment and expansion to cater for ever-increasing demand.
The striking new interior was created by Crave Design, Akorn Construction (now known as View Interiors), as fit out contractors for the project.
Mark Standing, owner of Crave Design said: "The original restaurant included two units which had been combined to create one space and had traded very successfully for about 10 years. They decided that they needed to expand, so when an adjacent unit became available they decided to take it. But rather than just convert the new unit to use as part of their restaurant, they decided to refurbish the whole venue at the same time and create a complete new brand identity."
The works commenced with the complete strip out of the original interiors of all the three units.
The venue, which is on a single level, includes a central 'mangal' servery with a large barbecue pit where customers can watch food being prepared. Beyond this is a bar, with the two units off to the left and right designated as the main dining areas. There is also a private function room with decorative metal fret-cut doors to the rear. In addition, a brand new separate service kitchen was installed for other types of cooking apart from barbequing.
Mark Standing said: "Because the original interior had become rather dated, we came up with a new design for all three units, as well as a new brand identity.
"The design palette includes elements of grey washed timber and exposed stonework on the walls, dark coloured ceilings and cross-cut timber and hexagon patterned grey and black tiled floors, laid in a bespoke pattern which were created especially for the venue. Very Turkish style vibrant blue-green coloured wall tiling is also featured behind the waiter stations.
"Furnishing includes deep-buttoned banquette seating booths divided by decorative fret-cut screens, together with upholstered chairs imported from a Turkish supplier, and stained timber tables.
"Lighting comprises a combination of recessed spotlights and bespoke pendant and wall lights.
"In order to maximise trading whilst the project was under way, we fitted out the newly acquired unit first so that he original restaurant could continue to trade, before closing for the remainder of the project.
"This was a great project for us working closely with the family who own the business. The clients love the new look of the venue, which has been open for about two months and continues to attract their original clientele – plus new customers too. The main contractors did an excellent job on the project."
"We are now working on the design of a new Gökyüzü restaurant in The Mall, Walthamstow, which is due to open in September 2017."
Gökyüzü was born after Veysel Yavuz and his family came to the UK in 1990 from Turkey's farming community, settled in north London and bought the shop in Green Lane, which eventually became their first restaurant.
They then expanded, with a branch in Wood Green, as well another offshoot in Chingford, with more new openings in the pipeline.
According to the owners: "There were plenty of Turkish restaurants and cafés in London, but we had a longing for really authentic Turkish food and wanted to show people what traditional Turkish dining is really about. To our mind it's about freshness, quality ingredients, delicately flavoured dishes, succulent meats which are expertly char-grilled, home-baked bread, and most of all, a very warm welcome."

This is the fourth book in the Shifter Squad series by Author J.C. Diem.
Lexi, Reece and the others return in the fourth installment. They are still staying at the inn from book three as they realize they're going to be in the area longer. It's Thanksgiving day. Everyone, except Kala, goes to where the body mentioned at the end of book three was found. They realize that it's a succubus they're dealing with. Not only do they have the succubus to worry about, they also have the rogue wolf to contend with. Lexi and Reece are sent to scout the camp area in Kentucky while the others stay in West Virginia at the base there, having left the inn after Kala's disastrous Thanksgiving dinner.
Lexi and Reece split up during the search of the woods. Lexi gets visited by a park ranger who turns out to be a werebear but neither realizes it before he tries to kill her. In all fairness, she did pull her gun on him first. Lol. They start combing the woods while Mark is at the compound with Kala and Flynn trying to find the rogue wolf's clan and where they're hiding. Turns out the rogue wolf also has them under surveillance and he gets way too close for Lexi's liking.
I think I've liked this book the best so far. You get more of a glimpse into Reece's life as well as Lexi's. You learn more about Kala, Flynn and Mark as well. I'm liking them all more and more as the series goes on. Definitely going to be looking forward to the fifth book in the series.

Resurrection of ReadyRooms - New life for former Qantas online hotels brand
I have just discovered that the ReadyRooms brand and product is back. I spotted a banner advert for the new site and clicked through. Subsequently I have seen a post over at the Publicis Digital site (an advertising firm) saying that they launched the campaign for the new site on October 21 2009.
This new version of ReadyRooms is not being operated by Qantas. Instead, the brand is part of Jetset Travelworld - Australia's number 3 offline travel company. But this does not mean that Qantas has complete divorced itself from ReadyRooms. In June 2008 Jetset Travelworld bought Qantas Holidays off Qantas in exchange for Qantas taking a 58% stake in Jetset (PDF press release here). The "new" ReadyRooms a look, feel and colouring that is not at all like Qantas so there is a clear desire to establish a new and separate brand. But the search results, pricing and hotels are exactly the same as the Qantas Hotels product. Like the Qantas version Jetset's ReadyRooms charges at $4.95 booking fee (called a credit card fee) [note - no fee charged on debit cards. Just credit cards]. Critically - unlike ReadyRooms, the Qantas version of the product comes with frequent flyer miles. In other words Jetset's ReadyRooms is the same product as the Qantas Hotel's product but with less benefits. Not sure that will work.
Jetset have also launched ReadyFlights to sell air. Clearly Jetset have decided their strategy is to go online with a whole new brand approach to get around frachisee issues.

From the Publicis:
"This weekend Mojo & ZenithOptimedia launched a campaign for Jetset Travelworld Group's new website Ready Rooms.com with a TVC, performance media and a complimentary paid search campaign."
Has anyone seen the TVC or the performance media campaign?
A quick check on Google also shows very little SEM activity. Apart from branded terms, I couldn't find ready rooms anywhere.
A quick check of Bing shows they haven't even bothered with branded terms at all.
I think Ready Rooms must be taking the softly softly approach. It would be interesting to know the size of their media launch budget
Also, "Ready Rooms offers fantastic deals on hotels and, unlike most other travel sites, you can book up to 12 months in advance."
Most other travel sites??? The agency may need to get out more. 12 months in advance is hardly a point of differentiation these days.

@Kristi - great comments. Last time Qatnas launched RR they bought pages of advertising in the Daily Telegraph offline - a truly bizarre marketing approach. Will be interesting to see what Jetset do differently. Very odd that they are being light on brand terms bidding in search.

Hey Tim,
Just a quick note re qantas.com/hotels offering - you can book 'fee free' by using a debit card. The fee you referred to is a credit card fee.

Comic Adaptation Week: Samuel Fuller's Ode to Kirihito
The affinities between Hollywood B-movie master Samuel Fuller and Osama "God of Manga" Tezuka are so rich and varied that I want to kick myself for not seeing the connection prior to considering them for this week of dream adaptations. In both cases you have an artist who utilized popular, 'low-culture' forms in order to tell onerously plotted stories, heavy on melodrama and bathos, which stretch the reader/viewer's notions of plausibility. If all of that sounds like a bad combination to you, you're beginning to get a sense of the genius of these two consummate artists.
It is difficult to state simply why Fuller's films and Tezuka's comics are amongst the best in their respective mediums, but it has a lot to do with the genuine moral complexity that underlies the surface simplicity of the stories. Ode to Kirihito is perhaps the most novelistic comic that I've ever read--and I'm talking about novels in that wonderfully prolix 19th century sense of the form. Tezuka has created a world teeming with vainglorious scoundrels and greedy villains, in which the only virtuous figures are also broken almost beyond repair.
Fuller's movies also teem with such benevolently cracked figures. Consider The Naked Kiss's Kelly, a prostitute who finds her way to the charming small town of Grantville and who wakes up the morning after servicing her first customer, looks at herself in the mirror and realizes she can't do this forever. So what does she do, but get a job helping handicapped children in the local hospital. You can't make this shit up (at least I can't). But there is a lot of Kelly in Ode to Kirihito's Reika, the traveling circus performer whose great stunt involves curling herself up in a tight ball and allowing herself to be dipped in tempura batter and deep-fried. Both Kelly and Reika are deeply disturbed and yet ultimately possess hearts of gold.
In fact, their hearts are so golden that one's initial reaction is to sneer at the apparent simplicity of the moral architecture in these artists' stories. But that simplicity is deceptive; look deep into the best of Tezuka's comics or Fuller's films and you'll find in both a realism that is jarring in the face of the deep humanism of their respective creators. Both Tezuka and Fuller were profoundly affected by war--Fuller joined the infantry in World War II and Tezuka came of age during and immediately after that war--and the works of both reveal a deep understanding of the complex implications of armed conflict in the post-industrial age.
Ultimately, though, I think Fuller would be the only filmmaker capable of bringing Tezuka's opus to the screen because he's perhaps the only other storyteller I know of who understands that precise balance between the almost gothic absurdity of plot and relentlessly driven pacing that make Tezuka's long works such bewilderingly wonderful reads. It's that mix of the bizarre and the compulsive, the brutal and the life-affirming that makes Tezuka and Fuller such enduring classics.

Hey man - just wanted to let you know that I've been enjoying these dream adaptations.
They're pretty spot on and, taken together, feel like comparative fiction for the film and comic set.
It does justice to the creators and their work and would be a great service a non comic reading audience as well.

Thanks once again for the kind words . . . i can't really speak for all of us here, but i know that i'm pretty excited about everyone's contributions and it has been one of the more strictly fun things for me that we've done in this forum.
not to put too fine a point on things, but intertextuality in general is one of the things that interests me most in the study of literature and one of my guiding beliefs, and i think one that has guided a lot of our efforts since the inception of our blog here, is that these connections aren't limited strictly to literature or even within individual mediums. when you pay you enough attention to what people have been doing over the centuries in all sorts of art forms, you begin to recognize more and more how there are a lot of deep connections between works that at first glance seem quite disparate. so, yeah, i'm glad that someone appreciates this stuff.

Right on David.
There may be an increased public attention of graphic novels and the seasonal "comics aren't just for kids anymore" news features but it's actually these sort of intertextual studies on "Serious Comic Reader" that can help legitimize and deepen an understanding of the art form.

For supercar owners, the opportunity to travel to a holiday home, a second home or a satellite work base from where to run their business affairs is essential… as is having their supercar in purring form all revved up and ready to roll. Such owners might almost say that this is priceless—but, of course, what they would mean is that it is worth the price!
Residents of the luxury The Crystal hotel in Camps Bay enjoy Panoramic views of the Atlantic and spectacular sunsets from every apartment, with a price point in the region of R60 000 per square metre should you choose to purchase one of the units. These owners also never have the frustration of coming to Cape Town and being denied the opportunity to cruise Camps Bay's palm-tree-lined main drag or chicane around Chapman's Peak's bend. Why the special treatment for them? Well, quite literally they get special treatment from what some are calling the horse-power hotel, or the supercar motel—and the groomsman behind the spit and polish is a young man called Byron van As.
Byron was brought in to care for the residents' supercars shortly after this unique club was formed, and it's hard to think of someone better suited to the job. By the age of 12 he had already built his first car, a Ford Capri. All the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, however, when he revealed that he first started working on cars at the age of 8. His eyes fairly gleam when you talk supercars—or any cars, and if I owned the keys to a supercar I would want Byron grooming her throughout the year.
When you gaze across at all these magnificent machines lined up in long rows you get the sense of staring at a stable of powerhouse horses. However, aside from the pure spectacle of it, there's also the history that grips your imagination. Some vintage speedsters were in the Club that day, but what gave us the biggest thrill was resting a palm on the hands of a Perana Z-One series— as it is one of only seven in the world, and it was made up the road (if you're driving a supercar) in Port Elizabeth. It's a highly sought-after collector's item.
Mind you, in terms of major thrills, it would have had to be the little red Fiat 500 that was parked deferentially to the side of some of the big car names. Small and submissive in appearance, I was wondering why Byron was smiling as he walked over to it, opened its dinky door and put the key in the ignition.
It looked like a little Fiat, but under the hood was a Ferrari engine – and what a sweet scream of sound it was. The Abarth-fettled 695 Tributo Ferrari limited edition is not so much a collector's piece as a collector's delight, and the comfy bucket seats and incredible detailing inside makes it a real party piece.
Safe as a house of cars
There is naturally 24-hour security with a plentiful spread of CCTV cameras to safeguard the garage filled with supercars, not to mention the 24-hour safe in which Byron keeps all the keys. On a vehicular level, he takes care of the cars by attaching trickle charges to them as well as working slowly and deliberately in order to minimise the chance of any electrical wires scraping the bodywork. Primarily, though, he ensures that they are kept spick and span and always ready for use, which his exactly what a supercar owner would want.
Even the engines all looked brand new thanks to his methodical touch. Of course, this is more than just a Lah-di-dah rest-stop for cars, it also serves as upmarket accommodation for the drivers.
"We manage a number of apartments in The Crystal and our chairman happens to be a car fanatic—he is incredibly passionate about cars. He owns a number of apartments here and one day he started to park his vehicle here, and then so did a number of other owners," said Chantel Wessels of The Crystal.
He was suddenly struck with the idea of starting a car club based on exclusively and only for owners of apartments in The Crystal.
"All of a sudden we had quite a number of guests who started to bring their flashy cars around," Chantel smiled.
The Crystal Car Club was started because owners had their prized leisure vehicles… but yet they had no-one to look after them. When the chairman brought Byron in to oversee the garage he could see he was made of the right stuff, so he handed all his cars over to Byron, who took ownership of the club and has never looked back since.
"After a while we looked at offering a whole range of car services so that we would take care of the key, do battery checks, check if the car has a leak and basically just keep it in tip-top shape," said Chantel. "But Byron is such a star with cars. He actually drove my car the other day and, afterwards, he told me, 'Do you know that your discs might need replacing?' and I was like, 'Whoa! No I didn't."
"If you take a car for a drive you can feel everything that's wrong with it—it's just something that you pick up over time," said Byron, who grew up watching his mechanic father working on car engines.
While most of us know what it's like to charge a normal car battery, with supercars it's a whole different ballgame. Byron showed us a number of batteries, and all were located deep inside the supercar engines.
You would need to strip half of the car down just to slide your leads into place for a charge. However, with so many supercars under his wing, Byron has installed a special charger adapter that makes it easier to keep the cars juiced up and ready to roll when their owners come calling.
Village n Life consists of a group of independent hospitality establishments and tourism-related commercial ventures. The Executive Directors and their specialised departments provide support to the business units in terms of new ventures, strategic matters, marketing, sales, human resources, facilities management, finance and administration. It also manages around 60% of the apartments in
The Crystal with as much care and attention to detail as Byron lavishes on the cars in his Club. Owners and guests at The Crystal can have their apartment dusted and polished, windows washed, linen changed and they can even have their shopping done and be welcomed by a well-stocked fridge to their exact specifications.
All in all, one would have to describe The Crystal experience as all-round Super!

Top 10 K-pop Girl Groups | Kpop Girl Groups Ranking 2018 : If you miss the good old days when girl groups and choreographed dances were popular then you're in luck while not as popular in North America they still make up a solid chunk of the South Korean music industry today. check out the below list of top 10 best kpop girl groups.
For this list we're ranking the groups based on originality their impact on music and their pop culture influence.
Top 10 Most Popular Kpop Girl Groups :
10. Brown Eyed Girls
This band has been around for the last ten years and fingers crossed they'll be around for another ten although they first day view it as an R&B group they've done everything from electro-pop to hard-hitting ballad. Song abracadabra which came out in 2009 launched them into superstardom with the songs accompanying dance called the arrogance dance, which involves moving your hips from side to side becoming so popular that it was even featured in size 2013 music video for gentleman with a cameo by Game, one of the group singers.
9. Ace of Angels (Aoa)
Aoa Ace of Angels better known as AOA, hasn't been around for very long but they've made quite the impact since their debut. The band consists of seven regular members with an eighth member who now only performs with the subunit aoa black. The group first capture an audience's attention with their unusual 7+1 member concept, in teaser trailers advertising the group, they released the band's back story in which all but one member were full angels. While the band has been producing music since 2012, they only released their first Korean language studio album in January of 2017.
8. A Pink
if you hear the word kpop and imagine upbeat innocent bubblegum pop tunes, then you'd probably be wrong unless you're talking about a pink that is. They known for their innocent image and upbeat lyrics the bank debuted in 2011 with seven members but currently performs as a six member group with singer whom new kyung leaving the band in 2013 to focus on school. In 2015, they became the first group on music core to win five consecutive awards with the band having a match 33 awards for their work not including the 29 awards they've won on music program since their debut and they say nice girls finish last.
7. After school
This band hit the ground running since their 2009 debut and have been a commercial success since, inspired by the Pussycat Dolls and even performing as an opening act for them during the asian portion of the pussycat dolls doll domination tours. Their debut single feature the girls in thigh high socks, schoolgirl outfits and had them dancing information to some highly suggestive moves. The song along with their follow-up piece entitled because of you became an instant success. Unfortunately, no badges without problems, the members seem to abruptly join after school and leave just as fast. The band has mostly been inactive since late 2015 with several of the members pursuing careers in TV.
6. F(x)
Although each girl group has their own unique concept, there's generally a uniform aesthetic to each band but that's far from the case with F(x), which seriously celebrates and pushes the individuality of its members. Most notably with tomboy artist "Amber Lee u", FX was originally framed as being a dance focus group. However, they've proven themselves to be powerhouse singers who like to experiment with sound and style. Although their first song "lachata" did well, it was their debut album "Pinocchio" that helped make them famous and their second digital EP "Electric shock" that made them a household name internationally.
5. Miss A
This South Korean Chinese girl group debuted in 2010 and fast became one of the most popular. Their first single "bad girl good girl" made them the fastest group to take the top spot on KBS music Bank, a prestigious music show, they were so popular that their music video for "Touch" reached 1 million views on YouTube, the same day it was uploaded as part of their 2012 combat. And the video "for only you" gain more than 2 million views in 24 hours for their 2013 return to music. While the band originally consisted of four members, Singer "Meng Jia" left band in 2016 and since her departure, the remaining trio has been focused on solo ventures leaving the future of Miss A unclear.
4. Sistar
While some girl groups are known for making their entry into the world of kpop, thanks to their vocals, "Sistar" was in part, launched into stardom after a video surfaced in which one of the members broke her thumb mid-performance and after a short break backstage came out to the band and kept singing. Although their earlier songs did well, there 2014 smash hit "touch my body" has easily become one of the most popular songs. The music video, choreography and catchy chorus are all especially memorable and it's not hard to see why this song is a fan favorite. Their 2015 comeback was also successful with their song "i like that" debuting at the top spot, making it their eighth straight Number one hit on the chart number.
3. Wonder Girls
This Band debuted in 2007 and fast became a favourite of pop listeners in South Korea. One of their earliest singles tell me from their first full-length album "The Wonder Years" topped charts upon its release and propelled the band to new heights, as people not only fell in love with their music but with their choreography too. The 2008 "single nobody" also got people around the world move into their tunes and helps solidify them in kpop history, as they would be the first k-pop group to chart on the billboard Hot 100 with their English version of the song. Unfortunately, the group has disbanded with their final goodbyes having been released in February of 2017.
2. 2ne1
Assembled by YG Entertainment, the group debut back in 2009 in a commercial featuring the insanely popular boy band "Big Bang" for the LG Scion phone. Although, the commercials use their song "Lollipop", their official debut single was "Fire" which came out two months later. The single came with two versions of their music video and audiences went crazy for this fierce as hell girl group. Although their previous singles did well they're arguably best known for their 2011 hit "I am the best".The video featured the women dressed in cutting-edge Punk meets "lady gaga" inspired outfits that left an impression on viewers. Sadly, it's the band announced their disbandment at the end of 2016 with their final song "goodbye" being released in early January of 2017.
1. Girls Generation
Girls Generation also known as SNSD, the acronym of the group's Korean name, this girl group proves that girl power is very much alive and well. Considered wildly to be Korea's unofficial official girl group, "Girls Generation" have a signature bubblegum pop sound to their music, although that doesn't mean they don't experiment with it as well. The girl group has sold over 4 million albums has won over 130 awards, 100 music program awards and broke the record for the longest running number one song on music Bank and are the first girl group to win three Daesang awards in a row. While they debuted in 2007, it wasn't until the release of their single "Gee" in 2009 that they really became pop culture icons. Girls Generation indeed !
Here are a few honorable mentions :
- Girl's Day (ring my bell)
- 4Minute (Crazy)
- Red Velvet (Dumb Dumb)

Holly Willoughby shares her simple rainbow tart recipe
Holly's new book, From Truly Scrumptious Baby: My Complete Feeding & Weaning Plan For 6 Months & Beyond, is out later this week
Serves 8
320g ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten
75g full-fat cream cheese
3 tbsp basil pesto
1 small red pepper, deseeded and cut into 5cm x 1cm slices
1 small yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into 5cm x 1cm slices
8 small tomatoes, halved
16 asparagus tips, trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
METHOD: Preheat oven to 200C/ 400F/Gas 6. Unroll pastry and, keeping it on its greaseproof paper lining, lift on to baking tray.
Brush edge with a little of the beaten egg, fold in edges to make 1cm/½in border. Crimp folded edges with back of a fork.
Mix together cream cheese and pesto, spread mixture over pastry base in even layer, avoiding border.
Toss red and yellow peppers, tomatoes and asparagus in olive oil until coated, arrange in rows on top of cream-cheese mixture, starting with two rows of yellow pepper, row of tomatoes, then two rows of asparagus and two of red pepper.
Repeat, until pastry base is covered. Brush top of vegetables with a little extra oil, if needed.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until pastry is risen and golden – take a peek at the bottom to check it is cooked – and the vegetables are softened and starting to brown. Leave to cool slightly and cut into slices to serve.

27 May 2020 - Article
The Charity Commission has withdrawn its longstanding endorsement of donations to a parent charity that exceed the donating subsidiary's distributable profits in light of a report by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
The Charity Commission withdrew section D5 of its Guidance Note CC 35 late last month. This guidance had endorsed the practice by which a charity's wholly-owned trading subsidiary transferred all of its profits to the parent charity.
However, company law rules prohibit a company from making distributions from that part of its profits that are deemed to be non-distributable. The Commission's guidance addressed these rules by regarding the donation by the trading subsidiary as a payment that did not amount to a 'distribution'.
This view has been questioned by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in a technical release issued on the subject. Due to the lack of definitive legal precedent on the point, the Institute commissioned an opinion from legal counsel who advised that such donations are 'distributions' caught by the relevant company law rules. Therefore, any part of a donation (by a charity's wholly-owned trading subsidiary to the parent charity) that exceeds the company's distributable profits is, according to this opinion, unlawful.
HMRC have not yet responded to this but have apparently said that they will issue guidance in due course. In the meantime, the technical release makes the following points and suggestions for those charities affected:
- The charity probably needs to recognise a liability for any excessive unlawful payment made by the subsidiary company.
- Whether there needs to be a prior year adjustment in the accounts is perhaps debatable but may well be needed and any affected charities should seek professional advice on this aspect.
- For complex technical reasons it does not appear possible for the charity to avoid having to make good the overpayment. However, the release discusses the possibility of the sum being deemed payable as a dividend, a possible set-off of the over-payments against future distributable donations, or possible subscription for new shares. But in the absence of comment by HMRC, these approaches need to be considered very carefully, and will have tax consequences in themselves.
The release does not give an indication of the proportion of donations from subsidiary companies which are believed to be affected by this issue. Experience suggests that most subsidiaries make donations which fall within its distributable resources, and in such cases there is not a problem. The first task for charities which believe they may be affected is to check whether that is the case. If you are concerned about this issue please contact us and we can advise accordingly.

Nowadays, you'd be hard pressed to find a family not impact by bullying. Whether or not your child has been directly impacted, they no doubt know someone who has been bullied.
I've spoken more then once about the bullying that both my youngest son & I experienced. Start early to teach kids that it is not okay to bully and if you are the one being bullied, don't be silent! We have to lose the mentality that it's just a part of childhood or kids being kids.
To their credit, two specific companies are doing their part to education & support anti-bullying efforts.

Long-Term Disability Benefits for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Nearly every job in Ontario requires the use of your arms and/or legs. When an injury occurs to your extremities, the obvious damage may heal, but another disabling condition may arise. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a neurological disorder that causes chronic pain in a previously injured arm, leg, hand or foot.
CRPS and Its Effect on Your Ability to Work
The major symptom of CRPS is chronic pain that may be constant and severe. The type of pain associated with this syndrome can vary from "pins and needles" to squeezing/pressure pain and may radiate throughout the entire limb, even if only a single digit was previously injured.
The pain of CRPS alone can decrease your ability to work and perform your job safely. Because of its effects on major limbs, it often excludes you from doing any other type of work for which you may be qualified. When this is the case, your long-term disability insurance should accept your claim for benefits.
Along with chronic pain, other symptoms might include skin texture changes, abnormal sweating, joint stiffness and abnormal movement of the limb.
Documentation and Treatment are the Keys to Disability Benefits
Many cases of CRPS begin with the instance of a traumatic injury to the affected limb. From the onset of injury, you should begin documenting your symptoms and noting the effects they have on your work. When the pain and other disorders fail to subside after treatment, your doctor may perform other tests to verify your condition.
Once you have a CRPS diagnosis, you must show that even with proper treatment, the pain and other disabling conditions continue to persist and impair your work ability. Your employer may be able to help verify your claim with explanations of changes in your work performance or attendance due to your health.
Your doctor will be a very valuable source of information about your condition and the limitations it places on your ambulatory ability. Aside from the physical impairments from the syndrome itself, many of the medications used to ease the symptoms can have adverse, disabling side effects of their own. Many of the pain and steroid medications used in treatment of CRPS can result in drowsiness or cognitive disruption, which may place workers in danger if their jobs require use of heavy machinery or in fast-paced environments such as driving.
Get the Long-Term Disability Benefits You Deserve
When you've paid your insurance premiums and have the proper long-term disability coverage, you should be able to activate your benefits when a disabling condition such as CRPS makes it impossible to work. Preszler Law Firm helps residents of Ontario fight for their rightful disability benefits when insurance companies deny their claims.
Call our office today at 1-800-JUSTICE® to schedule a free consultation. We are happy to review your options with you and answer all of your questions regarding your right to long-term disability benefits for CRPS. And remember, there is a never a fee unless we recover money for you.

TV Summer Camps: Earnest Dramas, Sci-Fi, Comedy And Blue-Sky Escapism
Summer officially began on June 21 -- less than a month ago. But if you still hold to this notion of a TV season, it really crept in sometime in late May. It could be argued, then, that some of television's best "summer series" have come and gone, since they bled into the hot days, entertained (or annoyed) the hell out of us, then vanished.
Like Game of Thrones, Justified, Treme, The Borgias and The Killing.
Treme finished Sunday -- spectacularly -- and Men of a Certain Age ends tonight, with Friday Night Lights not far behind it. On the other hand, so many new series have kicked in recently it's hard to feel the loss (and yes, I'm looking at you, Wilfred, you big lovable and filthy dog). Plus, Torchwood starts Friday and the Big Baddy Daddy of Summer -- Breaking Bad -- will premiere on the 17th.
So, let's do a quick survey of sorts. What did you watch and what will you watch before -- dread the thought -- fall creeps in? Somewhere in there you should note precisely what you're most excited to see. For me it was Game of Thrones (which didn't disappoint), The Killing (which did) and, most of all, the upcoming return of Breaking Bad.
Let no one ever say again that there's nothing to watch in the summer. Look at these summer camps:
Earnest Dramas: Justified, Treme, Men Of A Certain Age, Friday Night Lights, The Killing, Falling Skies, Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara, Combat Hospital, The Big C, Weeds. Upcoming: Breaking Bad, The Closer, Damages, Rescue Me.
Sci-Fi/Fantasy: Game of Thrones, Teen Wolf, Outcasts, True Blood. Upcoming: Eureka, Warehouse 13, Torchwood, Alphas, Haven.
Comedies: The InBetweeners, Children's Hospital, Wilfred, Louie. Upcoming: Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Blue Sky Escapism: Memphis Beat, Hawthorne, White Collar, Covert Affairs, Franklin & Bash, Royal Pains, Necessary Roughness, Rookie Blue, Burn Notice, Suits, Drop Dead Diva, Leverage, The Glades. Upcoming: Rizzoli & Isles, Entourage.
So, to recap: What did you watch or what are you currently watching? What are you most loooking forward to? And if you feel so inclined, the best show of the summer so far is/was?
Don't forget the sunscreen.

It's gloriously colourful, but it's a picture of an attempted mass murder. Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's "The Roses of Heliogabalus" is based on a story about the Roman emperor Heliogabalus, who, according to legend, attempted to suffocate his unsuspecting guests in flowers, which were dropped from a false ceiling.

A senior Conservative party member says Prime Minister Stephen Harper could call a federal election as early as September 2nd.
The well-placed party official says no decision has been made yet, but an election call is highly likely sometime within the next 2 to 4 weeks. According to this official, Harper could pull the plug on his minority government immediately after the Labour Day weekend, or wait until shortly after Parliament resumes on September 15th.
The Prime Minister will not make a final decision until after he meets with opposition leaders to determine whether there's any chance his government will be able to forge ahead with its agenda during the fall. The tete-a-tetes have not yet been scheduled but our contact says Harper would ideally like to meet the three opposition leaders sometime next week.
Community Interviews with Moose FM
Harper has been blaming opposition parties in recent days for paralyzing Parliament and Tory insiders say there's little chance opposition leaders will be able to change his mind.

The news about Salesforce.com's phishing incident broke almost 2 weeks ago on Slashdot...although there were rumors swirling about for a number of days prior to the report. A Salesforce employee fell victim to a phishing attack that captured his company credentials. The attackers used those credentials to harvest customer contact data and began to send phishing attacks to customers, in the form of fake Salesforce invoices. As you might expect some number of customers fell for the scam and yielded their Salesforce account info.
There are a few interesting implications of this phishing attack, none of which pertain specifically to what Salesforce should or could have done.
Implication #1 - this kind of targeted phishing or "spear phishing" is difficult to monitor and eliminate. When a specific target is singled out, the attack tends to proceed undetected for a while before it becomes evident. No specific remedies or signatures are available to address them.
Implication #2 - until now, most highly phishing attacks have been targeted at financial institutions and consumers. Relatively recent examples include the Bank of America "change of email" scam and ADP.
Not surprisingly, SaaS providers may now be next on the list. Although, the value of the information to scammers may not be apparent, it is likely that phishing attacks against SaaS applications that hold identity and proprietary info will be on the rise.
Implication #3 - phishing is only the starting point for the attack. In the Salesforce incident, it was uncovered that some of the customers who were effectively phished, also had keyloggers and other malware downloaded onto their machines. From the Salesforce letter sent to customers -
"...As a result of this, a small number of our customers began receiving bogus emails that looked like salesforce.com invoices, but were not--they were also phishes. Unfortunately, a very small number of our customers who were contacted had end users that revealed their passwords to the phisher... However, a few days ago a new wave of phishing attempts that included attached malware--software that secretly installs viruses or key loggers--appeared and seemed to be targeted at a broader group of customers."
Not a lot of good news there. The point is that in this new Web 2.0, Saas enabled world, there is a Long Tail to this phishing problem...targeted, sophisticated attacks cannot be tackled by simply preaching "security awareness". Nor it is enough to use signature based phishing detection techniques. We need a different approach.

Battleship Classic Board Game 4+
Two players game
Leonid Grebenyuk
- $1.99
- Offers In-App Purchases
In 2014 the game took first place among Board games for iPhone in Russia and Ukraine!!!
Two fleets meet in deadly opposition. Only the prudent mind and tactical skills of the best admiral can declare an unconditional victory. The ships conduct warfare by attacking blindly, filling all water area by means of shells. Such conditions create a practical boundless scope for tactics and strategy.
This is a mobile rendition of our classic childhood game Sea Battle. Sea Battle first appeared in paper form in the remaining 30 years of the last century. Considered as one of the most popular then and to this day.
Now this ageless classic is realized in a new way for mobile platforms. Rules are simple and easy to follow. On a game field each player has ships, from foreboding battle ships to small boats. Opponents in turn fire across the field of the opponent, clicking on the corresponding boxes that represent the open waters. The victory is won by the admiral who sinks the last ship of the enemy.
On the game board each player arranges their own ships. They cast shells blindly into the open waters hoping to score a hit on the opponent's ships. Victory is awarded to the admiral who sinks the most ships of their opponent.
Hint: Double press on a ship to change its direction.

Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Not quite the same
Although it tries to be similar, this is not the original game. One space ships are not part of the game. I will keep it in the phone for now but I doubt it will be played any more.
Multi-player doesn't work
Tapping the invitation link sent to invite a friend to play doesn't do anything; it says "retrieving" then nothing happens.
Also, this was after figuring out that the first "invite friends" option just sends them a link to the app. You have to choose "play via Game Center" (instead of "invite friends") and THEN select a separate "invite friends" options within that menu, which sends a link—which doesn't work, as previously mentioned.
Fix the app (and make it less confusing) and we might actually try it.
Hate having to go to settings every time to turn off music/sounds..
Also annoying when I can't put ships next to each other... And I don't like the idea of having one-space ships. Plus you aren't suppose to get extra shots in the original version of the game. I'd like it way more if it had the same layout/rules as how it's suppose to be

Spoilers! Edited for post episode impressions.
On one hand yey queerios! On the other Nyssa came off a lot of the episode as the Psycho Lesbian trope. They even specified she was going to kill Sarah's family to get her back as a girlfriend, not because the League wanted her back. The whole episode felt like a "Save Sarah from the lesbian lifestyle!" with her hooking up with Oliver in the end. The only thing that kind of saved it for me was the eyes Sarah and Nyssa were giving each other as they separated. I guess it depends how they handle Sarah in future episodes, especially if Sin and her are actually a thing.
Also geeze Laurel. So drama llamas.

As the UK's threat level is bumped from "serious" to "critical" and armed soldiers begin to patrol British streets in the wake of the Manchester bombing, Britons have revealed what truly represents a threat to our way of life.
While British people may not always excel when it comes to forced social interactions and small talk, we do have a very unique sense of humour.
And never is this dry wit more prevalent, or needed, than when tragedy strikes.

Orange Book
The Orange Book is, of course, the one that is causing all the controversy. It is the book in which some of our MPs have floated ideas already rejected by the Party in an attempt to stimulate debate. The "young turks" as Menzies Campbell described them, dominate this book although there are some mainstream contributions as well. Menzies Campbell also made the pointed remark that these MPs need to learn that policy is made at Conference not through publishing books. Anyway I bought myself a copy to see what all the fuss was about. Sales were in fact brisk, presumably for the same reason. Nothing like a controversy to sell a book. I also bought a book by Party stalwart Donnachadh McCarthy called "Saving the Planet without costing the Earth". This is one book I can heartily recommend especially if you wish to live what you preach in terms of green living.

"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
What a beautiful scripture this is, encouraging us to know who we are through the eyes of the one who created us. I don't know about you, but sometimes I just need to be reminded of this truth.
Deep within every human being is a longing to be loved and accepted. I need to remember this, because for most of us, this is not a reality we easily claim. Instead we look in the mirror and only see faults or reason for comparison. We allow the wrong voices to define who we are.
In some cases it's our culture. But other times it's the very people we love who wrongly define who we are. Hurtful words can deceive us into thinking we are unworthy.
Yet God created us to be people of strength and beauty, each with a divine purpose planned by Him before we were born. God alone has the right to define us.
He is the Creator. He is our designer. And this is what he says about you and me, WE ARE:
Created in the image of God. (Genesis 1:27)
Fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)
Precious and honored in His sight. (Isaiah 43:4)
Redeemed and forgiven. (Ephesians 1:7)
A new creature in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Holy and blameless before God. (Ephesians 1:4, 1 Corinthians 1:30)
Chosen by God. (1 Peter 2:9)
God's masterpiece. (Ephesians 2:10)
Created with purpose to do great works for God's Kingdom. (Ephesians 2:10)
Will you believe these words about yourself today? Are you able to look for that same truth in your fellow man today as well?
We are God's beloved creation, masterfully designed for his use. How absolutely amazing is that!

My brittle heart yearns for the softness of innocent trust. It squirms within the shell of experiences that mold it – waiting for occasional moments to beat with true freedom.
I know my heart was designed for feeling – for vulnerable encounters. Unfortunately like most people, I learned early on that along with vulnerability often comes pain . And pain drives me to the shelter of a hardened, secure place.
Our youthful hearts can easily becomes suspicious, self protective and old. Hard and hollow.
I admit it – my feelings get hurt. I wish I could say my tough exterior is made from some sort of righteous maturity, but it is not. I've learned to appear resolute and say the right words, but each time my heart is hurt the walls grow a little thicker. Just this morning someone hurt my feelings and didn't even know it. I recoiled.
Proverbs 29:25 says, "Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe". I don't believe this verse is suggesting I avoid people and trust God. I think it tells me to trust God with every relationship, avoiding the snare of fear.
A soft heart loves at all times – even through vulnerable and difficult encounters. There's freedom in openness and vulnerability – freedom in trust. Trust encased in love generates life.
By God's grace I will continue to take a sledge hammer to the hard walls I hide behind every time I'm hurt. I know I'm kidding myself to think genuine love can seep through the cracks of a self protected heart.
Love, Real love, God's love – oozes out of and overflows from selfless vulnerability.
Summertime is the sweetheart of the seasons.
Children wait all year for its arrival. Anticipated and well planned vacations finally squeeze into its slim perimeters. Even fruit trees spend the year preparing for the grand finale. Summer comes with high expectations and crescendos with lazy relief.
Familiar scents usually lure us out of hiding into the glorious arms of the season. Cut grass, star jasmine, foggy air – even the tangy stench of sunscreen lathers the senses with intoxicating images.
Every soul needs summertime. Dreamy days, warm nights, less clothing and conversations that linger.
Children aren't the only ones who gain from the decompression, we all do. Summer takes us away from our usual. Whether geographical or internal – we benefit from the slowing down. Our sun starved skin drinks in the extra Vitamin D while our minds unwind and soul feasts on the fruit of uncluttered moments.
Somehow reading a book by a river's edge or at a packed pool for hours isn't perceived as a waste of time. Summer both redeems and invests.
Layers of clothing along with accumulated concerns seem to drop off as the weeks linger on – exposing our kindred lumps, bumps, hopes and fears. Our feet can breathe – dreams swell as we lay in the grass or sand or unfamiliar turf.
We know summer is fleeting and we'll soon be inching toward winter once again through the subtle door of fall – so we dance with our sweetheart – grasping what she offers and storing up till her next visit.
Take walks.
Befriend a stranger.
Read a book by a new author.
Watch a mother play with her child.
Listen for baby birds, look for new life around you.
Stay outside till the moon comes up and count the stars.
Pick fresh fruit from a vine and let its juices rest on your tongue before swallowing.
[Tweet "Hear God speak to you in your slowing down moments "] winter is coming – this is the place we gather material for dreams and peace in our future.

The three day weekend is fast approaching. We will remember our heroes through an avalanche of patriotic commercials and emotional photos. The nation will take a short pause to commemorate our fallen on Memorial Day.
Like most major holidays the media inundates us with ads, short video clips and images. The Memorial Day photographs are meant to stimulate patriotism. They will be moving. They will be clean and pretty, leaving us with good feelings which is somewhat perplexing since they represent a very different reality.
In fairness, most difficult life experiences look better when we're farther away from them.
I'm grateful I've never had to watch someone be struck by a bullet or smell the smoke of smoldering flesh. It's hard to imagine the photos shown on Memorial Day come even close to depicting the devastation they represent.
I wonder how veterans who've lived through the real-life experiences of war think of the polished up images we circulate. The disabled vet who sits at the intersection panhandling in our community probably doesn't have a Twitter account to give his opinion on the issue. He anesthetizes his mind from memories and we anesthetize ours to him as we pass by – even on Memorial Day.
It's probably safe to assume the general population can't identify with him. Besides not understanding the trauma of his combat, he's certainly not airbrushed enough for our applause. Like many, he's still attached to the umbilical cord of his pain.
Internal wars are just as hard to understand as physical wars. Inner wars bring their own kind of pain, suffering and even death.
As I sit in my comfortable chair plucking my keyboard in hypothetical thoughts, I am challenged with what I can do. How can I serve the wounded. The broken in our villages need to be fed, listened to and truly honored.
The battle-weary soldiers of internal wars are the poor and the brokenhearted spoken of in Isaiah 61. Many people are held prisoners of war right in our own communities, and they are part of us.
The truth is we all would benefit by standing at attention on Memorial Day. We're all part of a battle and called to fight in a very real war.
Our identity and dignity are contingent upon truly remembering. By ongoing remembrance and involvement. More than a pause – a lingering that initiates action.
I want to be more than moved this Memorial Day. I want to be enlisted into the causes that move my Heavenly Father. I want to take my place on the battlefield of my own community, so maybe one day I'll hear my commander say, "This one fought the best she knew how. She lingered long enough to act."
For today – I linger and humbly ask forgiveness for my own lethargy and preoccupation with myself. I willingly yield these unfocussed eyes to open and see opportunity beyond the polished images of the hour.

The belief that things will eventually work out for good can certainly provide a level of peace to our life. It allows the difficult moments to roll off our back in the hope things will eventually get better – or be good. But when circumstances begin to pile up and our comfort is challenged, belief alone often comes up short.
Throughout his lifetime Jesus showed us how to believe and live in the truth of God's goodness. It was especially evident on the cross. His life was shaped by the full embrace of the greater good found in his Father's eternal story.
It's the same for us. Where can disappointment live when our own prerequisite expectations are nailed to a cross? When we relinquish our need to control.
Meditate today- Good Friday – on what Jesus has done for you. Ask him to help you embrace your own cross today. And then claim the package of good things he's personalized for you in his eternal plan.
Have a glorious Easter.

Isn't this a great picture – I can't believe I took it!
I love beautiful art, both on film and canvas. Admittedly I'm neither an artist nor a photographer, so the fact I took this picture from my inexpensive point and shoot camera is beyond amazing to me.
I especially appreciate how the camera captured exactly what I wanted it to – crystal clear drips showcased on apple blossoms. Breathtaking!
It also blurred out what I didn't want shown – the backdrop of our yard.
If the picture were to pan out, it would include the unsightly elements I choose to crop, such as the web of electrical wires above and brown spots on the lawn below.
Rain was falling the day I shot this picture, both on our yard and in my heart.
Some days just feel that way.
Circumstances unfold causing a tightening to the chest that moves up the throat and into our minds like lava from the core. We know the boil over won't be pretty. So we fester and steam. We isolate and focus inward.
The day I took the picture was like that. Circumstances I had no control over were holding me hostage like the rain – I was stuck inside, both literally and figuratively.
When I find myself in that condition I can't see clearly. My vision is out of focus or focused on the wrong things. Some call it morbid introspection. I call it suffocation. Electrical wires seem to wrap around my neck, holding my gaze on all the brown spots in my life.
That day I heard God's voice prompt me to go outside. He challenged me to, "Keep my mind on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, and proper." as Phil 4:8 says.
He knew my mind needed a singularity of focus – a refreshing.
When I apply the lens of his love to my sight – both in my mind and on my circumstances, he is faithful to show himself every time. Glimpses of him are life breathing, fire quenching and heavenly.
The beautiful little water drops were true, they were pure and right. They were also God's mysterious way of cleansing my sour soul and drenching the fire within.
A fresh focus can also lead to a broader perspective.
Panning my focus out a bit, I could reclaim the truth that my life is my life, given by him – electrical wires, brown spots and all. The very wires I resent, even the circumstances I beg to control – are all here for my good. Who am I to question his divine plan for me?
He is certainly found in the beauty of raindrops – refreshing, cleansing, clinging. But he also sits unscathed with the birds on the high voltage wires I resent.
Today, my focused heart clings and releases. I choose gratitude for his divine care. I choose vision beyond what I see and freedom to exploit the perimeters of my own sight.

I heard this song on the radio today and thought I should re-post. We were a very good cover band as well as doing original material. The "prison blues" were one of our matching outfits we were occasionally required to wear by club owners. The cut was from our Port Byron performance in June of 1978. The lineup for this song was Jon on guitar, Ken on bass, Paul on drums and me on piano. You can hear Ken double-tracking my vocal an octave lower on the "Evil Woman" chorus.
Silver Laughter 1975-76 – Mick, Ken, Jon and Paul seated below
Here is another song where I switched from bass to piano, and Ken switched from lead to bass. Jon played any lead or fills on guitar and Paul played drums. Once again, I am singing lead with Ken singing the lower octave of the "Evil Woman" chorus. All the other three doing the backup vocals on the rest of the song. If you listen closely to the intro, you will hear Ken use one of the "Silver Laughter Code" words and then me chuckling in the background.
It seems to me from all the mumbling and slurring of words that this was a "jukebox" song where we recorded from the machine to cassette, then hit play, stop, play stop, back up, play… with the four of us deciding what we thought the vocalist had sung! Sometimes we…

Bug #2471
SCORM Captivate
(copy & paste from http://www.chamilo.org/es/node/1027)----------------------------------------------------------
I've created a few courses with Captivate CS5 and succesfully uploaded and displayed them as a learning path + import SCORM on the Chamilo LMS (release candidate 2.0).
But when I complete the courses Chamilo does not save the status.
I've made a little debug (with firebug) to analyze the communication process, and it seems that Chamilo is unable to assign a value to the tracker_id data (the first error is generated on the run.php file, it does not assign value to the tracker_id javascript var), so the comunication it's imposible.
Some maybe useful info:
Captivate generates an htm file in order to load de flash object and configure it to communicate with LMS.
I've checked that htm file finds and creates the API object from 'application/weblcms/tool/learning_path/resources/javascript/scorm/chamilo_api.js' (both 1.2 and 2004 versions)
Then, debugging some example content from Adobe
found in
and you can see the result in 'Testing Captivate 01.png' and 'Testing Captivate 02.png'.
Following javascript var 'continue_url' I came to 'Testing Captivate 03.png'
Thank you and good luck!

There's no doubting that Gamerscore has been a phenomenal success for this generation of consoles. Microsoft's scoring system has proven to be an addictive mechanism that has incentivised gamers to keep playing even when a game is completed. So much was its success, that Sony even got into the act with the belated introduction of Trophies.
But if there's one thing we hate more than anything else, it's those odd-numbered achievements that mess up your score. Here's our pick of five of the offenders

Most people who are addicted to drugs can't stop using them just because they want to. Without drugs, they will often feel very sick. They won't feel better until their bodies and brains stop craving the drugs. Some medicines can make it easier to stop using certain drugs without feeling sick.
But getting a drug out of a person's system is just the first stage of treatment.
People with a drug addiction often stop taking care of themselves and their responsibilities. They focus on getting and using drugs.
People with drug problems might:
- stop taking care of their family, their work, or their community
- People with drug addictions might forget things that matter to them. They have trouble keeping promises.
- stop taking care of their health
- People with drug addictions might not eat or sleep well. They might not clean their teeth. They might not go to the doctor when they get sick. Their drug use might have caused other health problems.
- stop enjoying the things that made them feel good
- When people are on drugs, they stop caring about hobbies, interests, and friends.
They need to relearn how to live without drugs.
Talking with doctors or counselors in treatment can help. They are trained to listen and help people solve personal problems.
Call 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or visit SAHMSA's Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator at any time to find drug and counseling treatment near you.

"Bob's name came up time and time again during nominations. He is renowned throughout the industry for his professionalism, talent and mentorship." said Whipp.

You would be surprised how few letters HR gets anymore. Because of that, they typically read those they do get. This goes for hiring managers too.
A resume letter is an important part of a job search process. Many times people fail to take this process serious. What they do not realize is that a well written letter is what decides if you get an interview,or not. Often, employers will just throw a resume in the trash if it is not put together properly.

Now, I would like to talk about the actions everybody should take when deciding to write a resume letter.

The kids and I were watching an old episode of a food network show about sticky buns. I was drooling the whole time. All the kids were fascinated and wanted to know if we could make sticky buns someday. Well, all the kids except for the 2-year-old. He just thought that "sticky buns" was a really silly word, and giggled and repeated it every time someone on the show said it.
I had my sourdough starter all active and bubbly, having just used it that morning to make pancakes. I figured that I would treat the family to a batch of delicious sourdough sticky buns.
I used my new favorite recipe for sourdough bread, because it makes bread that is very soft and not too sour. I combined a couple recipes for the sticky, gooey glaze, and came up with these fantastic sticky buns. Best served warm, so the glaze is caramel-soft.
I didn't make these buns super duper sticky. The caramel topping can be doubled if you want the kind of sticky buns with oozing caramel that drips down your fingers. But any mess the kids made while eating these is a mess I would have to clean up! So I stuck with a smaller amount of topping, one that would leave a minimal amount of sticky on the fingers, face, table, floor, and clothing.
Sourdough Sticky Buns
1/2 batch Velvety-Soft Sourdough Bread dough
3 tbsp. softened butter
1/3 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cinnamon
Caramel Topping:
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 tsp. honey
4 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans are traditional, I used almonds)
Prepare bread dough (mix sponge, rise, add flour to make dough, rise twice). I start the sponge early in the evening the previous day, then mix it into dough and set it to rise right before I go to bed. When I get up I punch it down and let it rise again, then punch it down again and it's ready to shape.
Roll out dough into large rectangle. Smear the 3 tbsp. softened butter over the rectangle of dough. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter. Roll, starting with long side. Cut into 12 segments. Cover while you make the topping.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, 4 tbsp. melted butter, and vanilla. Spread into greased 9x13 pan, then top with chopped nuts. Arrange buns on top of caramel topping and nuts. Cover and let rise until double.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake buns 20-22 minutes. Let sit in pan for about a minute. Invert onto another pan, or serving platter. Let the caramel drip over the buns a bit before removing the baking pan. Scrape any leftover topping out of the pan and spread over top of sticky buns.
I set aside a couple of these to give my husband when he gets home from work. It's taking all of my self-control and all of my love for my husband not to go in and eat them right now. I. Must. Be. Strong...

Sourdough Sticky Buns
Velvety-Soft Sourdough Bread
I have been quietly going through a bit of a sourdough bread saga. When I first started my sourdough, my bread turned out pretty good every time. I always used the same simple recipe, and while it wasn't perfect it was good enough. But it eventually stopped working. I'm not sure what went wrong, but every time I tried making sourdough bread, the loaves would turn out flat and hard. I had one loaf that was supposed to be round and rustic but it ended up looking exactly like a flying saucer. And it tasted about as appealing.
So I've been trying a variety of new recipes, hoping to find one that I can count on, and hoping to improve my skills and knowledge of sourdough at the same time. I found a pretty good recipe for soft sourdough bread that I made a couple times. It worked well and gave me consistent results. Through this recipe I learned that when making bread, you have to make sure the starter is active and bubbly. Some recipes can get away with flat starter that hasn't been fed for a few days. Bread is not one of them - it needs to have been fed within 12-24 hours in order for the yeast to be active enough to make the bread rise.
I recommend the above recipe, and would continue to use it, had I not found one that works for me even better! I recently bought a book called Alaska Sourdough by Ruth Allman. It's full of stories and recipes, all hand written by the author, and is just the sort of homey, down-to-earth book that I love.
I tried the basic sourdough bread recipe and was floored by how well the dough rose. I haven't had my sourdough rise that well since I started keeping a sourdough starter. Then when we sliced into it, I was even more amazed at the softness of the bread. I was seriously running my fingers over the slice of bread, because I like soft things and this bread felt just like velvet.
I did have to cut the recipe in half. I only cook 2 or maybe 3 loaves at a time, because that's how much we can eat before it starts going stale and yucky. I also had to adjust the baking time and temperature. The recipe called for baking the bread for 10 minutes at 500 degrees, then turning it down to 400 for 45 minutes. I took the bread out when there were still 27 minutes left, because it was turning too dark on the outside. The next time I made this bread, I tried 400 for 30 minutes and it baked perfectly.
Velvety-Soft Sourdough Bread
2 cups active (recently fed, bubbly) sourdough starter
1 cup warm potato water (water from boiling potatoes, or just add 1 tbsp. potato flakes to 1 cup water)
1/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cooking oil
5 cups flour, approximately
1/2 tsp. salt
Make soft sponge by mixing the sourdough starter, sugar, water, and oil. Add half the flour (2 1/2 cups). Set in warm place to double in bulk.
Add salt and remaining flour to make a dough that is easy to handle, smooth, and elastic. Place in greased bowl. Cover. Let rise in warm place until double in bulk.
Knead down dough. Let rise to double bulk once again.
Form into 2 loaves. Can use loaf pan or make free form loaves. Let rise about half an hour. Slash top of loaf. It's got to be a nice deep slash, or the bread will split down the side. I might or might not know that from several instances of personal experience...
Bake in preheated 400-degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
