To define usefulness of computed tomography of thoracic aorta to group of haemodinamicaly stable patients with chest pain and prior exclusion of acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary emboli.
Imaging of aortopathy is of great help in initial diagnosis, monitoring and detection of potential lethal complications. Its great use is in tamely stratification of patients and rightful clinician decision-making. Taking into consideration largest diameter of aorta in association with predisposing diseases, CT aortography helps in assessing when to apply medical or surgical treatment.


but it almost always ends up looking like something.
it's the feeling of FREEDOM.
Sitting in a canoe in a wide open space.
although there's very little music on this one.
I was obviously tired by the end of this one.
Life is all about balance, isn't it?
to make time to practice our art?
Do we consider it frivolous?
or putting in a wash load?
with dirty dishes in the sink.
with going days without making art.
The world needs more right brained people.
to become a full fledged artist?
of a musician or a songwriter?
for other little art hearts out there.
Wise words again! :-) My guess is that making art is somehow perceived as "unproductive" work in this left-brained dominated world. But as you rightly pointed out, we'll never know how far our art reaches; sometimes just the act of creating something gives others courage enough to try it out for themselves.
Gorgeous work..beautiful art..and powerful words! I paint and play music every day..it is just a natural part of me and my existence and I love that..and I allow it to fully express! i think we should definately make "acts of creation" everyday..it is why we are here!!
Beautiful post..always full of wisdom and empowerment and your beautiful spirit Pauline! pure magic!!
You've had a busy day. Lovely abstract.
I love everything about this post, your art, your thoughts, the quote and the pheasant!
Not only are you creating opportunities you are creating possible dreams!!! Wonderful pensive post as usual! Love your beautiful painting...save the gun. Not a gun person at all. I love how it turned out though, colorful and soft!! Love the poem too...so much meanings in your posts!! You really are amazing...thanks for sharing!!
Yes, this is so true... "FINDING" time to create.
Yes one never knows how far art or even the written word reaches others now and in the future.
Pauline - You are so wise - creating even just a little every day gives my soul a tease of joy - so I'll take whatever I can get. By the way, I didn't even notice his hands - his face is so intense and awesome that I didn't look around...I just thought about freedom.
You can obviously do abstract and life art very well. Clever!
I often have dishes and laundry waiting for me. I have to paint as much as I can. I love what you wrote, thank you for sharing.
Hello Pauline, I haven't visited for some time so have really enjoyed catching up with all you've been doing of late. I think your abstracts are excellent, the shapes seem to make sense and communicate on another sphere. I feel the same as you, the importance of creating something every day is great, it centres me and flushes out all kinds of feelings and thoughts kept inside, it's a release and feels good! So I say that's more important too than a pristine house or what not!
Have a great week Pauline and thanks for sharing all your creations with us, always a pleasure to visit.
When I saw your abstract I saw a crowd of people at a party talking and enjoying drinks together. Your canoe man is stunning- love all the purples in it!
That Annie Dillard quote is a keeper!
I find that I put chores before art when I'm feeling stuck. I know how to do the dishes, I don't always know what to do next in my art. I've actually been feeling that way lately...which explains why my house is so clean!
Lori: seeing you here always brings a smile to my face.
Thank you all so much for sharing a bit of yourselves in your comments... we're all facing the same challenges when it comes to making time for art. I'm happy to be part of a community that makes art such a priority.
oh goodness, I am freaking out over this guy. You're so amazing! You have captured the mood perfectly and it is just technically awesome! I am in awe. And the music behind his head is great!
Great post and painting. I love your abstract. Originally abstract referred to a real life object, abstracted, so if your work brings real things to mind, I'd say you're right on track. I like your philosophy, too. It's been my new philosophy this past year of artistic rebirth. My only regret is not having the courage to do it sooner.
Great post! I agree, artists need time to 'create' something. It's in our blood! ;) Your first painting is so pretty, I thought it was a sheet of scrapbook paper at first. Love the colors. The second, love the process by the way, is wonderful! I love your shading. I didn't notice his hands looking like claws though. :) Love this post!


More and more industry standards and regulations promote or even mandate that organizations apply the concept of "continuous compliance". Continuous compliance includes the reconciliation of assets and automation of data classification, alignment of technical controls, automation of compliance testing, deployment of assessment surveys, and automation of data consolidation.
For too long, IT and security professionals have relied on closed ecosystems of managed devices to implement security that may be hard to penetrate from the outside but once in had little to no real protection. But ecosystems are no longer protected by a hard shell: they're open, highly distributed and alarmingly susceptible to attack. We don't control the devices—too many of them are BYOD.

Summary: A hilariously silly picture book about what Moose, Lion, Zebra and Sheep get up to when they try to stop Bear being quite so cranky. Children will giggle their heads off.
The Very Cranky Bear is great fun. I laughed my head off at the picture of the grumpy bear in the rain, with sticks attached to his head, straw round his neck, and white stripes on his fur. It's a fantastic image that will amuse children every time you read it with them. The rhymes and rhythm work well throughout the book, and give the story a nicely unfolding plot and thrilling pace.
It does end a little suddenly - it feels like it could have done with just one more page of Sheep basking in her glory - but that's just nit-picking. Youngsters will find the story engaging, the vocabulary clear but interesting, and the humour perfectly pitched. It's the sort of book that could easily become a firm favourite. Books with cranky bears always get the thumbs up from me!
Nick Bland's illustrations really suit the fast-paced and comic nature of the tale. They have a cartoony style, with big heads and tiny feet - that slick look doesn't always work as well in books as it does on TV and in films, but it's ideal here. They reminded me a little of the illustrations in Jack's Tractor by Thomas Taylor, although the bear in particular gives everything a slightly more traditional look. It's a wonderfully silly book. Recommended.
For another fun tale of a grumpy bear, check out A Visitor For Bear by Bonny Becker and Kady MacDonald Denton. Inspector Croc Investigates by Sam Lloyd has similar bold illustrations. If sheep are your thing, then Derek the Sheep by Gary Northfield is very amusing.

You can apply the whole-house approach to energy efficiency for new construction, but it can also save you money when remodeling or adding on to your home, or simply upgrading your HVAC equipment.
Ductless mini splits are air-source A/Cs or heat pumps that forgo ductwork and instead employ advanced technologies that result in effective and energy-efficient cooling and heating. The sleek components of ductless mini splits offer homeowners practical solutions for a plethora of heating and cooling quandaries and situations where ductwork won't work and a window unit will not do.
With cold winter weather fast approaching, many Chicago homeowners are bracing for higher utility costs. One way to reduce heating bills this winter is to consider more energy efficient HVAC equipment. Choosing a new furnace or air conditioner may seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, a government program known as Energy Star makes shopping for efficient HVAC equipment easier.
You will have greater success in your efforts to improve your home's energy efficiency if you view your entire property as a single energy system, with smaller components that all work together to make the whole system run well. If one element in the system is not working as efficiently as it should, then the other parts have to work harder to make up the difference. An understanding of how the pieces all work together will help you build a more energy-efficient home, or to improve the efficiency of your existing house.
Saving on energy costs isn't always about buying the latest in high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment. An important building block for the cost-effective HVAC system is knowledge of how to air seal a house properly. A house that's well-sealed and properly insulated can save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs.
The sun's warmth that radiates into your home through windows, skylights or glass doors is called solar heat gain, and in Chicagoland's winter months, can feel warm and cozy. In mid-summer, however, the heat gain from these sources, as well as outside heat entering your home through air leaks and poorly insulated walls, ceilings and attics, can make your air conditioner work overtime to maintain your home's comfort level. That means more wear and tear on the system and more maintenance and repair costs, not to mention, increased utility bills. You can control energy costs and make your home more comfortable by knowing the areas where heat comes in and taking steps to minimize its effect.
Did you know you can save about 10 percent on your heating and cooling bills every year simply by installing a programmable thermostat and using it correctly? The chance to save energy without sacrificing comfort is the primary reason people invest in programmable thermostats. Here's a look at the many options available to you and tips for getting the most out of your investment.


After being nominated four times before, is Jeff Bridges finally destined to win an Oscar at the fifth time of asking for Crazy Heart? Bridges turns in a bravura performance as romantic anti-hero Bad Blake, a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who's had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times.
Bridges, who has appeared in some of our favourite films (The Big Lebowski, Bad Company, The Last Picture Show, to name but three), has already won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild for Best Actor for Crazy Heart, in which he plays opposite Maggie Gyllenhaal. He'd get our vote, if we had one, at the Academy Awards on 7 March.

Reduction of blood loss using high-dose aprotinin in major orthopaedic surgery: a prospective, double-blind, randomised and placebo-controlled study.
We have investigated in a prospective,randomised placebo-controlled study the effect of high-dose aprotinin on blood loss in patients admitted for major surgery (revision arthroplasty of the hip or knee, or for resection of a soft-tissue sarcoma). The mean intraoperative blood loss was reduced from 1957 ml in the control group to 736 ml in the aprotinin group (p = 0.002). The mean requirement for intraoperative homologous blood transfusion in the aprotinin group was 1.4 units (95% CI 0.2 to 2.7) and 3.1 units (95% CI 1.7 to 4.6) in the control group (p = 0.033). The mean length of hospital stay was reduced from 27.8 days in the control group to 17.6 days in the aprotinin group which was not statistically significant. The intraoperative use of aprotinin in major orthopaedic operations significantly reduced blood loss and the required amount of packed cells. It may result in in the length of hospital stay and costs.


Now that the world of natural perfume has really taken off, there is speculation regarding the "greenness" of some of them. For those of us who prefer naturals, we have our own individual barometers as to what is "green" enough. Only you can decide what works best for you in terms of your lifestyle and beliefs. But we all should be savvy consumers since it's well known that just because a company touts themselves as "green" or "natural" or "organic" does not necessarily mean its products are free of synthetics, parabens or petrochemicals. So if it's important to you, read the labels. Also check a website's fine print and if the language is fuzzy, you should be skeptical.
One of the newest natural perfumeries on the scene is Tallulah Jane, and when they state their fragrances are natural, they mean it. They use botanical essences, resins and balsams that are organic and wildcrafted whenever possible. They also use certified organic alcohols and carrier oils and their extracts are only from plants and trees that are sustainable. In addition, all of their products are vegan, not tested on animals, and free of parabens, phthalates and petrochemicals.
Tallulah Jane's Tallulah is their signature scent and my favorite of the three offerings. Tallulah is described as a creamy jasmine in the PR info. I experienced more of a spicy jasmine sambac note with a fizzy lemon/lime accord and it remained bright and citrusy throughout its progression. A background of woods and charred frankincense, in the heart and drydown, did ground Tallulah's upbeat disposition a bit. Describing a jasmine scent as "upbeat" might be interpreted as girly. Talluah is not. In fact, this is the first time I can remember thinking that a jasmine based fragrance would be wonderful on a man's skin.
Tallulah Jane's 333 fragrance has three different types of chamomile and lavender, as well as neroli, petitgrain and bitter orange. On my skin, this medley became a delicious Gin and Tonic, garnished with cilantro. 333 is boozy and fresh and entirely appropriate for either a man or a woman. I haven't tried this on my husband, but will as my intuition tells me it'll meld even better with his skin than mine. I might be one of the few that gets the soapy, herbal tones of cilantro from 333, and I'm curious about that. So if you've tried this, let me know. Like Tallulah, 333 is uplifting and I would anticipate reaching for both of these when the promise of warmer days is in the air. If you're a man (or have a man in your life) that's unsure about wearing fragrance, 333 is a great choice. In spite of its herbal/cirtus effervescence, 333 wears close to the skin and would not overwhelm the wearer or anyone else for that matter. It's also short-lived which calls for more frequent applications, but that's not a deal-breaker for me if I love a fragrance.
Gotham seems to be more of a wintery scent, as its rose and patchouli blend feels quite composed. My first impression of Gotham was that of a lovely rose scent, punctuated by a tame patchouli note. But after an hour or so, it did an about-face and became a patchouli perfume, softened slightly by rose petals. I enjoyed wearing Gotham, but it was lacking the deep vintage patchouli redolence I have become accustomed to in *Mandy Aftel and *Julie Elliott's work. Having said that, Gotham's patchouli is not your typical health food store patchouli, and if you're a lover of rose and patchouli, it would be worth your while to at least get a sample.
If you'd like to have a full-size of Tallulah (that has been used gently by me), please leave a comment and I'll enter you in the giveaway. You can get extra entries, one each, if you follow me on Bloglovin, Twitter, Google Friend Connect, Facebook's Networked Blogs, or subscribe to Scent Hive. (Check the right sidebar for those as that's 6 possible entries!) Please let me know in your comments what you did. You have until Sunday January 24th at 9pm PST to enter. We have a winner!
Sample sets are available at SpiritBeautyLounge, the only place you'll find Tallulah Jane at the moment. You can pick 6 samples from their online shop for $15. The full-size of Tallulah Jane's Tallulah, 333, or Gotham are $58 for a 8ml roll-on.
*Mandy Aftel of Aftelier Perfumes and Julie Elliott of In Fiore offer Antique Patchouli and Patchouli Royale respectively if you'd like to experience a deep, lush, earthy patchouli.
Disclosure: Samples from SpiritBeautyLounge were provided for this review. The opinons in this review are my own. I was not financially compensated for this review or any other.

I didn't try to determine which is more accurate at predicting the weather. They are all generally good, but not error-free. Rather, I evaluated each based on features and ease of use.
The ones I tested operate similarly on iPhones and Android phones, though there are some differences in how information gets presented or accessed.
When you open this app, the home screen presents you with current conditions, including temperature, humidity, wind, visibility, UV index (a gauge of the strength of ultraviolet radiation) and dew point (which I have yet to figure out a use for). You also get information on sunrise and sunset times.
Navigating the tabs, you get hourly forecasts for the next 24 hours on the iPhone and 15 on the Android. On both, you get daily forecasts for the next 10 days. The Android version doesn't include dates, so you're left to figure out whether Saturday means this Saturday or next weekend. Click on "36 Hour" for brief written summaries for today, tonight and tomorrow.
The map shows you the radar for your region, giving you an idea of how far away a storm might be. In my travels, I've used this feature to gauge how quickly heavy rain might pass. You can switch that to show cloud cover instead of radar, or show both. You can also add details such as rain or snow over the past 24 hours.
You can check weather anywhere in the U.S. by entering a city name or ZIP (area) code. Or click on a target icon for the weather where you are, as determined by your phone. There's a location icon at the bottom of the Android version. On the iPhone, you're left to figure out that you need to click on the magnifying glass or the "I" button for settings. Flick the screen left or right to check weather in other locations you have stored.
The app also offers video of weather forecasts and news, with those from your city or region coming up first. There are tools for seeing what people are saying about the weather on Twitter and for sharing your weather-related photos and video. The app offers a pollen report; the iPhone version has hurricane and maritime conditions, too. The Weather Channel says that information is coming to Android next year, along with longer hourly forecasts.
Conclusion: You get lots of information on current conditions and the most options of the three for viewing maps. Limiting hourly forecasts to 24 hours or less is stingy. On The Weather Channel's website, I get two days of hourly forecasts.
The home screen also offers temperature, humidity, wind, UV index and visibility conditions, plus sunrise and sunset. The Android version lists wind gusts, not just wind speeds. The iPhone version has information on dew point, while Android does not.
AccuWeather goes beyond The Weather Channel in offering 15 days of forecasts, not just 10, and offers dates on both the iPhone and Android. Its extended forecasts are also more detailed than the Weather Channel's. You can click on a day to get those details.
Comparable with The Weather Channel, AccuWeather offers just 24 hours of hourly forecasts on its app. By contrast, you get more than three days on its website, and even more with a paid subscription. AccuWeather has more details than The Weather Channel for each hour, though you're left to figure out where to flick and touch to get those details.
AccuWeather's map is adequate, but doesn't offer as many options as The Weather Channel's.
As for location, the Android version has a target icon on the home screen (it's buried in the other apps) to quickly pull up information on where you are. That button is not coming to the iPhone for another few months, so for now, the location is harder to change. Unlike the other apps I tried, AccuWeather doesn't offer suggestions as you start typing in the name of a city to switch locations. With big fingers on a small touch keyboard, I had to type "Sault Ste. Marie" in its entirety for the sister cities in Michigan and Ontario.
Like The Weather Channel, AccuWeather offers local, regional and national video. AccuWeather has special forecasts for certain types of activities — such as golfing, bicycling and lawn mowing — as well as risks for asthma, flu and migraines. However, you're just given a one-word assessment, such as "poor" or "excellent," with no clues as to why it might be a horrible day to run or ski.
Conclusion: The app could be better with its hourly forecasts. It also ought to be easier to change locations. The activities forecasts show promise, though I long for more details. AccuWeather promises some of these desired features in a few months. AccuWeather has typically been my first stop for weather information on a regular computer, but the app leaves me wanting for now — unless I'm looking for extended forecasts.
This app's home screen crams a lot of useful information without clutter. That screen doesn't give you as much detail as the others on current conditions. Humidity, dew point and UV index are missing from the Android version, and neither version has information on visibility, sunset or sunrise. What you get instead is a graphical forecast for upcoming days — today plus five days for Android and two for the iPhone.
Touch on the forecast section for additional days and details — though you get only seven in all, the fewest of the three apps. Click on any day for written summaries of day and evening forecasts. Then click on that for hourly forecasts. Yes, that means nearly seven days of hourly forecasts, not the stingy 24 hours (or less) offered by the other two.
WeatherBug's radar map is OK, but not as versatile as The Weather Channel's.
WeatherBug doesn't have a target icon on the Android version to help you quickly get weather for where you are, but it's not really needed. On both the iPhone and Android, weather automatically updates to your current location when you have GPS enabled.
Switching locations or adding one by city or ZIP code is relatively easy, but only the iPhone version offers suggestions as you type. Once you enter a city, you can narrow your choice to a specific school, airport or other weather monitoring station. WeatherBug has placed more than 10,000 of these across the country. The others offer localized weather by analyzing available data from government and private sources. From my office in New York, I can get current conditions at a nearby school rather than a Central Park station 1.6 miles farther away.
Video is limited to national forecasts, but still images from several nearby locations let you see for yourself whether it's raining. A recent update to the WeatherBug app adds such specialty forecasts as golfing, pollen and dry skin. There aren't as many choices as AccuWeather's app, but you get more details for the ones that are available.
I find WeatherBug to be the easiest to use of the three, and I love the extended hourly forecasts. It's a good choice as long as you're not looking for a lot of video and a forecast beyond seven days.

Q: SSRS won't expand the row height when exported to Excel I have a report I am doing with SSRS 2008 with some rows that have multiple elements inside them. On the preview the row automatically expands to support the extra elements but however when I export the report to Excel it appears only as a single row with just the one element displayed, although all the elements are there when I double click the row or manually expand it.
I've checked everything...Can grow is set to true and the properties on the text box allows it's height to increase however it seems to ignore these.
Here it is in the preview
http://tinypic.com/r/b4wbdg/8
In Excel
http://tinypic.com/r/r084g3/8
Sorry about the links to the pictures and not in this question

A: Both CanGrow and CanShrink properties should be set to false
This must be done for all cells in the row of the Tablix!!
Otherwise the data is not properly exported.

A: Both CanGrow and CanShrink properties should be set to false. There is nothing like CanGrow and CanShrink in Excel. By setting them to false it will display the height as it is. Otherwise it will set the height to a default value.
This worked for me. Check this Row height not preserved when exporting to Excel thread for more suggestions.

A: Came across this (again) recently and thought I'd share my take...
Whether Excel correctly renders the height has to do with merged columns.  Take note of your column alignments throughout all objects on the page.  Any objects not tied to the data table itself (or embedded inside the data table) must be aligned with the columns of the table in question, at least for the cells that need to wrap text.  If there is any overlap causing the table columns to be split and the cells of wrapped text to be re-merged, Excel will not recognize the row height by either setting the CanGrow to True or snapping the row to fit within Excel.
In the original post, the user mentioned rows with multiple elements inside of them.  It is possible that those elements caused the column to split for the surrounding subtotals or adjacent groups with wrapped text.
Setting the CanGrow to False will simply prevent any automatic sizing of the row height by default for both the web view and Excel export, so I don't know if that's the ideal solution to this problem.

A: reduce the widths of the rows and it fixed my problem

A: I remove the header of the report, and all works perfectly.
I have other reports and I see now that if I remove the textboxes that are included on the sheet when exporting to excel, then the row heights in excel are sized properly.

A: I know this is an old question but I've been struggling with it.  My issue was that I had a second field in a column where I inserted a placeholder underneath the field in the column.  When exporting to Excel I wanted it to be tall enough that the second field would show underneath the main field in the column.
To get it to work for me, I inserted a blank column next to it and made it just wide enough for a single character.  Then I click and hit enter several times to force it to be multiple lines.  When I export, I have a blank column but otherwise it worked for me.


Sure hope those who are under the weather feel better soon!
I made up a small batch of navy beans and ham soup this morning. Delish and satisfying with a buttered corn muffin.
My book club meeting was tonight. We made a somewhat themed dinner based on the book. I made baked apples with honey and bought some Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream to go with it.
I was in a grouchy mood this evening, so I just had some jumbo hot dogs on brat buns.
I felt my stomach turn when I thought I read Halibut Pea Soup.
Halibut pea soup does sound kinda awful. It was an exaggeration to say that I made the soup. I poured it into a 1 quart Pyrex measuring "cup" and nuked it.
Stirling is feeling better, but still a bit delicate. Thank you for asking. I sure hope you and Souschef feel better soon.
Pub night so bacon egg and double cheese burger with half dozen bluff oysters deep fried. A delicacy I treated myself.
Stirling is having a migraine. He wasn't sure if food would make him nauseous. I made Habitant Pea Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. That worked well for his tummy and tasted good.
Migraines are the total pits. I hope he loses it real fast. I think I may have had three in my life time.

At the end of the Cold War, the three conflicts that broke out in the South Caucasus region; Georgia – Abkhazia, Georgia – South Ossetia, and the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh, all ended in ceasefire agreements. The conflicts were called 'frozen' conflicts. All three conflicts were historical; they were fought to establish independence and territorial rights over pre- Soviet land; the conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia were separatist conflicts between non-state elements and the parent state, Georgia; in Nagorno-Karabakh the conflict was an inter-state conflict from the start giving it more potency in terms of lethality and violence as well as an ability to spread beyond its territorial limits.
Today that danger is very real with a more strident tone and involvement from Turkey in support of its ally Azerbaijan and Ankara's long-running unresolved poor relationship with Armenia. In cultural terms, religion has not played a part in the conflict despite the two conflict parties being of different religions. However, with Ankara's determination to resolve the conflict in the interest of Baku, and Armenia so far standing alone despite rhetorical support from western allies and Moscow, the face of the conflict can change and become another of the contemporary world's conflicts in which religion becomes a motivating factor. The danger of Nagorno Karabakh becoming a 'call to arms' for those regional Islamic groups fighting in Middle Eastern conflicts, Afghanistan and its neighbourhood, and previously in the north Caucasus must be considered real. We are told that already there are Syrian – based groups involved.
The original conflicts were all 'frozen' by ceasefire agreements under different mandates. The Moscow Agreement under UN oversight in Abkhazia; in South Ossetia, the Sochi Agreement under a joint agreement between Russia and Georgia; and in Nagorno Karabakh, the Minsk Agreement brokered by the OSCE. All these agreements have been broken. In the case of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, they no longer exist having been finally ended by the Russia-Georgia 5-day war of August 2008. In Nagorno Karabakh any hope of the Minsk Agreement remaining as a viable instrument leading to peace, is disappearing fast.
The lesson of history is that ceasefire agreements do not resolve conflicts and are by nature temporary instruments to bring a conflict to a temporary end while more permanent solutions are found. The longer a ceasefire is in place the more likely it is that it will be ignored. Those external actors charged with overseeing a ceasefire agreement will themselves move on and lose interest, at the same time losing the necessary focus to move a tentative agreement to a more sustainable position. Then the conflict becomes generational and upcoming generations not born in the worst times, will be fired by nationalistic ambition, and left unrestrained by the memory of the horror that was the original conflict will re-kindle the old animosities. Changes in the conflict will continue; not just outbreaks of violence, but changes in actors with different ideals meaning approaches to the underlying and historical problems will change which in turn means agreements may have to change.
In the conflict over Abkhazia, it is easy to see how drift over time and lack of external focus on the meaning of change led back to war. The Moscow Agreement, which was a ceasefire and separation of forces agreement signed in 1994 to end the fighting that began in 1991 remained unchanged until 2008 when Georgia and Russia went to war with the inevitable result of a victory for the more powerful state. By then UN influence over the conflict had diminished to being almost imperceptible in character and action. The Russian and Georgian leaderships had changed in character and approach from one of mutual communication to ambitious nationalism on both sides. The same lack of apparent need to adapt agreements to changing circumstances can also be seen in the Sochi Agreement that brought ceasefire to the conflict in South Ossetia and the OSCE brokered agreement that brought hostilities to an uncertain end in Nagorno Karabakh in 1994.
In all cases the warring parties in the original conflicts have changed in ambition, demographics, and personality, so have the external actors seeking solutions; but the terms and conditions remain, and have not been adapted to these new realities, new personalities and new shifts in the conflicted populations. Consequently, there is no such thing as a conflict that is 'frozen' as the conflict 'ice' will always move like a glacier towards the inevitable consequence of glacial melt and a return to open hostilities. This is now the sad story of the conflict over Nagorno – Karabakh.
Ankara's growing ambition in the Middle East and South Caucasus region is an example of the need for those charged with resolution, in this case the Minsk Group, to react resolutely to the aspect of 'change' in leaders as well as events in a conflict region; to work out what it means, and if necessary, make changes to existing conflict management leading to prospects for compromise. The lack of potential for compromise in Nagorno Karabakh is limited as the more powerful actor in the shape of Turkey has taken advantage of an international community weakened by the pandemic, and other factors. The co-chairs of the Minsk Group have in a sense been side-lined for the time being and resolution is not in sight.
The recent ceasefire agreement that was agreed by Baku and Yerevan and brokered by Sergei Lavrov to establish humanitarian corridors in the zone of conflict was agreed by Baku and Yerevan and then substantially broken. Yet, the establishment of humanitarian corridors in conflict is a requirement under international law. In recent times the legal requirement has been broken or ignored frequently; and those parties breaking it have not been penalised, which means the 'law' has been undermined steadily over time. There is a trend in contemporary conflict where the historical understanding, if not adherence, of states to international humanitarian law, the international law of armed conflict, St. Thomas Aquinas' 'Just War' theory, the Geneva Convention and other norms collectively used to be the control mechanisms that limited the behaviour of warring parties, are not forgotten, but frequently ignored. One reason for this is the increasing presence of non-state actors on the battlefield and the difficulty of communicating with them under rules and agreements they never signed up to. Another reason is the tendency of the more powerful states not to set the example of upholding legal norms, thus eroding prospects for conflict resolution.
The lesson of conflicts with ceasefires in place being allowed to remain unchanged is a difficult one to deal with in all conflicts; in particular the generational issue. In the conflict in the Donbass region of Ukraine the young males of 2014 are now of weapon-bearing age making a possible return to violence more, and not less likely given the low economic prospects of those young males.
However, here there is a certain frankness emerging in the rhetoric of the Kiev administration that gives some small grounds for hope in reaching meaningful outcomes in conflict management. The simple message from a member of the Kiev administration recently that 'Ukraine cannot simply blame Russia for the conflict' is a simple but powerful statement which if allowed to develop can reap benefits. This depends on Moscow reacting positively to this change in rhetoric. The language and 'body language' of all parties to this conflict since it broke in 2014 have been confrontational and negative, so this recent rhetorical shift is positive but with a sense that it may be short – lived unless it is reciprocated. Moscow has to react to this minor change in 'body language' from Kiev if it is to mean anything.
Overall, and despite the fast – changing character of conflict, those states in the international community who involve themselves in conflict management towards resolution often stick to old practices. Crucially the focus is most often to take a top-down approach, government to government, sometimes with the external agenda taking precedence, and being unable to communicate with the non-state 'sector' of the conflict for fear of legitimising a separatist state or organisation. Notably, states take a top-down approach to conflict management, sometimes placing democratisation as a key objective in resolving conflicts even in states with no evolved or evolving democratic culture. Arguably the real objective is to restore the economic potential of the upcoming generations.
The top-down approach for some is the natural course to take, but in the so-called 'frozen' conflicts that have progressively 'melted' there is a stark reality; the generational question will always allow the prolongation of the problem. This has been seen in Georgia, Northern Ireland, and many other places. The motivation among young males to fight if you have not fought before is very powerful, particularly in countries with machoistic tendencies; and if there are powerful external influences supporting it, the conflict will always regenerate on the bedrock of those ready to fight. Here a 'bottom-up' approach to extract the new generation from the generational trap must be considered a priority if the conflict is to end peacefully.
Upcoming generations, including new political elites, their economic prospects, education, status and dignity are arguably the key aspect of conflict management leading to resolution in the 21st Century where old norms of conflict behaviour are fading. The motivation NOT to fight if you are going to lose your means to a prosperous future is a very powerful one.

Was EU HITLER'S brainchild? Shock claim first president of European Commission was a Nazi
THEORY: Paul Anthony Taylor claimed the EU was the brainchild of Hitler at the Glastonbury Symposium
THE blueprint for the European Union was devised by Adolf Hitler and the first president of the European Commission was a senior Nazi party member it has extraordinarily been claimed.
Planning of a "new Europe" under Nazi control began in Rome in May 1938 before the outbreak of the second world war, a major conspiracy theory conference was told.
Paul Anthony Taylor, executive director of the Dr Rath Health Foundation, said it was when Adolf Hitler met with Mussolini, during a state visit to Italy, to plan a future Europe under their control, and a bi-national commission was created.
Between June 20 and 26 that year, the first meeting of the commission took place in Rome, Mr Taylor said.
The Dr Rath Health Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in Europe and the United States, which campaigns for better access to natural health remedies.
He was lecturing at the 27th annual Glastonbury Symposium, an annual conference dedicated to the paranormal, conspiracy theories, alternative thought, and new age philosophies.
CONTROVERSIAL: Paul Taylor giving his Nazi origins of the EU speech in Glastonbury
Mr Taylor claimed to produce historical Nazi records that showed how the Nazi party created terms used in the EU today as part of its vision of a "New Europe" after the war.
He said they showed that by 1941 Arno Solter was head of "Germany's Central Research Institute for National Economic Order and Greater Sphere Economy", based in Dresden, and had prepared a blueprint for a future Europe under Nazi control.
Mr Taylor said: "Modern-day concepts described in Solter's blueprint include the European Commission and the system of EU directives."
He said records showed how one of the leading members of the official Nazi state delegation to Rome in June 1938 was the late Professor Walter Hallstein.
A number of other conspiracy theory websites subscribe to the view about the Nazi creation of the EU and Mr Hallstein's alleged past as a Nazi member.
The papers showed, he claimed, that Mr Hallstein was the legal architect of Hitler's "new Europe" before and during WWII.
CLAIMS: A slide shown during the talk making claims of Walter Hallstein being a Nazi
However, after being captured by US troops in 1944, and spending the rest of the war in a prisoner-of-war camp, Mr Hallstein never faced any war crime trials and was returned to Germany and recruited to a diplomatic career.
He was the leading civil servant at the German Foreign Office, and by 1958 he became the first president of the European Commission in Brussels.
He served in the role until 1967 and according to the EU website, he was a "visionary leader" and a "diplomatic force" who propelled European integration.
However, Mr Taylor showed documents which he alleged placed Mr Hallstein at the heart of the Nazi party, and the bid for a new Europe that promised united laws and currency across the continent.
Mr Taylor said: "The association of National Socialist German Lawyers was founded in 1933, immediately after the Nazis had seized power.
"In 1936, it was converted to the notorious NAZI Association of Law Protectors.
"Membership of this organisation was restricted to those individuals showing uncompromising support for, and participation in, the implementation of the Nazi ideology.
"Hallstein was a member of both these organisations."
However, official records say that anyone working in the legal profession in Germany at the time had to be a member of these organisation, so it did not mean an individual was actually a NAZI sympathiser.
There are also a number of inconsistencies within the theories.
For example there is no official reference to a NAZI Association of Law Protectors and no reference to Mr Hallstein being a NAZI sympathiser outside the conspiracy theory sphere.
Mr Taylor added: "On January 23 1939 Hallstein gave a propaganda speech in the Mahn and Ohlerichs Celler in Rostock, in which he discussed the link up of Austria and large parts of Czechoslovakia with Germany, by seizing them as part of 'the creation of the greater German reich' and the 'legal Germanisation of the new territories'."
UNIFIED: Hitler wanted an EU-like system of control in Europe claims the foundation
He claimed Mr Hallstein said in the speech that "failing to do this during the First World War was one of the unfinished tasks and failures of the second reich".
Mr Taylor said Hallstein also described the legal process of uniting these countries as the issuing of "directives".
In more sinister claims, Mr Taylor said Hallstein was involved in the implementation of Nazi racist laws against Jews.
Mr Taylor said: "Hallstein stated that one of the most important laws to be introduced in the annexed countries was the Law for the Protection of the German Blood and the German Honour.
"In other words, he advocated the imposition of the Nuremberg Racial Laws as a top priority.
"These laws excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of German or related blood."
Hallstein was serving with the Nazis as an army officer in France when he was captured in 1944.
However, within 13 years, he was back in Rome, on March 25 1957, to sign the Treaties of Rome, which were the founding documents of the European Union.
Mr Taylor said: "Ask yourself, how did this man get to sign the Treaties of Rome?"
The conspiracy theorist became involved in Dr Rath Health Foundation after curing himself of chronic fatigue syndrome in the 1990s.
Mr Taylor said Dr Rath Health Foundation unearthed the evidence while carrying out research into the EU to do with directives that have come down hard against natural health remedies.
He said: "How did an organisation involved in natural health end up researching the history of the EU?"
He said it was because of a "draconian approach" the EU took to herbal remedies.
Mr Taylor said the research showed that the EU had rewritten much of its history and people should be allowed to know the full truth.
The claims have been made in a book published by the foundation called The Nazi Roots of the 'Brussels EU', which is co-written by Mr Taylor and August Kowalczyk, a former prisoner at Auschwitz.
The foundation has also placed all the documents online.
Mr Taylor said: "This is a part of the history of the war and the run up to the creation of the EU that has been left out.
"Either I'm making this up and have come here to deliberately mislead you or we have to feature this into the account."
He said he was not opposed to a united Europe, but it had to be designed to act for the benefit of the people, and that was not currently the case.

A charity-focused half marathon round the centre of town.

Photo festival director sacked after a flood of sexual harassment allegations emerge online
More than 20 women have claimed on a blog that photo editor Manik Katyal harassed them verbally and physically.
Aarefa Johari
Nov 12, 2015 · 10:30 am
Several young women photographers, in India and abroad, have created a stir in the international photography industry after speaking out against multiple incidents of alleged sexual harassment by a photo editor, who has now been sacked from his position as a co-director of a photo festival in Delhi.
While the women have not yet registered police complaints, they have been using social media for the past few days to recount personal experiences of alleged harassment by Manik Katyal, the editor-in-chief of photography magazine Emaho, headquartered in Delhi. Most of the online complainants have worked as junior photographers or interns at the publication, and some of their allegations of sexual harassment date back to 2012 and 2013.
While most of the women claim to have experienced verbal harassment online or in person, some have also made allegations of physical abuse and coercion.
On November 7, a group of photographers also created a blog titled "I was harassed by Manik Katyal", on which at least 20 women have posted personal "testimonials" in the form of write-ups, comments and screen shots of Facebook chats in which Katyal allegedly behaved in a lewd manner.
In response to the flood of allegations on social media, Katyal has now been asked to step down from his role as one of the three directors of Just Another Photo Festival, a photography festival that took place in Delhi in September. In a Facebook post on Monday, festival co-directors Poulomi Basu and CJ Clarke said, "Such allegations are a serious matter and this action will allow these allegations to be addressed and for the rule of law to be followed and any appropriate action taken. It is until such a time that Manik's involvement will cease."
The allegations
According to claims in various posts on the blog, Katyal made a series of inappropriate comments to women, including asking them to give him oral sex and suggesting that he join them in the shower or in bed. A woman identifying herself as a "European photographer" claimed that he used "trashy and raw" language with her while making "sexual propositions" and "graphically describing sexual acts" during professional discussions.
A post by a former Emaho intern alleges that three years ago, Katyal abused his position as her boss by insisting she meet him for work at his hotel room, where he attempted to force himself on her:
"Even after I had let him know that I was not comfortable going to his place as I did not know him much, he insisted that I do so. Being a timid, young girl at that point, I did go. Did not want to offend him – I took him as someone superior to me in rank.
When I was in Manik's room he offered me a drink. I did not want to drink, but he coerced me into drinking anyway. Then, without asking for my permission he started to get physical with me and chose to ignore the fact that I have said NO a several time... I managed to stop him after a while and left his place."
Another post by an anonymous woman, who worked at Emaho in 2012, also describes a coercive physical encounter:
"...he knew I had moved to the same city as him so he kept messaging and calling under the pretext of work. So, I finally went to meet him after work. Being young, naive and alone in a new city, I was an easy target I guess. He offered me a drink. I said no. He coerced me into drinking saying "Don't be a prude. Just relax!"...He made a pass at me and I told him I'm uncomfortable. I do not want to do this. I told him I have a boyfriend. This is not okay. I said I want to leave. He said have another drink and he'll drop me home. It got really late and I knew I couldn't go back to the PG which was pretty far away. I had never felt so alone and scared. It was quite traumatic... I was ashamed. I had bruises on my lips. I wish I could have done something then. All I ended up doing was blocking him on all my social media."
A Thai photographer posted screen shots of online harassment she allegedly faced from Katyal:
According to another post by a woman who allegedly faced harassment on Facebook, Katyal was using his position as a photo editor to justify unwanted remarks:
"In all honesty, Manik Katyal's "cute ass" remark to me on Facebook chat didn't offend me...What did offend me, and still does, is the line that follows my displeasure in that chat — "I am a photo editor so couldn't keep it in". That is misuse of power now. You don't justify a comment on my bum by talking about your profession, like your seniority should intimidate me, like this is a reminder to me that I should take it as just 'banter'."
Another woman offered an explanation for why she – and most other women – felt they were not in a position to complain or openly object to the alleged harassment: It "meant keeping my career in photography intact".
Scroll.in spoke to several Indian photographers who did not wish to be identified, but claimed they had been hearing about "such incidents" from various women for a few years, but no one had filed complaints or spoke about it publicly. The atmosphere changed when British photographer Colin Pantall published a blog post on sexual harassment in photography on October 1.
Without naming any particular offenders, Pantall discussed the problems that women in the male-dominated photography industry face when there are no safe outlets for them to report sexual harassment and when they fear that complaining about people in more senior positions would jeopardise their careers.
As the blog post got shared internationally, some women photographers responded by posting their own experiences with harassment, making veiled references to Katyal. "Some of the Indians soon figured out who was being spoken about, and it spiralled from there," said a male photographer from Mumbai who did not wish to be identified. This photographer claims he personally knows at least four women who have allegedly been harassed by Katyal, three of whom have not yet spoken out on social media.
On October 12, Katyal published a Facebook post claiming that his "social media and email servers" had been "compromised" without his knowledge, and that "unscrupulous persons" had been "sending out offending material, posing as me, for several months".
In their statements on the "I was harassed by Manik Katyal" blog, many women claimed they found Katyal's post difficult to believe. "But the main trigger that pushed many women to speak out publicly was when Emaho set up a sexual harassment committee," said another male photographer who started the complaints blog along with a few colleagues.
Emaho made the announcement on November 4 on its website, stating that it had "pioneered the effort of being the first Indian online magazine to constitute an independent committee which is known as 'Prevention of Sexual harassment and discrimination Committee'".
"Katyal started getting praise from some people in the international photography community for starting this committee, which made many women indignant," said the blog co-founder, who believes social media is a natural platform for young adults to vent their anger and rally around each other across international boundaries. "That is when women began to openly name him in their allegations on social media."
The repercussions
Despite several attempts to reach him, Katyal did not respond to Scroll.in's emails, phone calls or messages. Meanwhile, women who claim to have faced harassment are now exploring the options of filing formal complaints either with the police or the National Commission for Women.
The social media and blog campaign against Katyal has, however, already begun to garner responses from sections of the international photography industry.
Even as Katyal was asked to step down from Just Another Photo Festival, a Dutch photography publishing house called Schilt Publishing announced that it had heard of some "serious and disgusting allegations against a certain photo editor" and that it would "not ever tolerate the abuse and harassment of women photographers, or photographers of any gender, for that matter".
The controversy has also sparked off serious discussions about sexual harassment in the industry and the lack of avenues for those who wish to report it.
"These are things that one usually gets to hear in whispers at first," said Sohrab Hura, one of only two Indians to be made a member of Magnum Photos, an acclaimed collective of international photographers. "People who experience harassment should be able to speak about it freely without any fear of repercussions, but there is hardly a system in place that addresses this. I guess that's why people stay quiet."
Poulomi Basu, one of the directors of Just Another Photo Festival, believes that a formal system to deal with sexual harassment in the globalised photo industry would be difficult to set up. "More realistic would be a voluntary code of conduct to which organisations could sign up, but that in itself would be no guarantee that any such instances would be reported by victims and appropriately dealt with," she said. Nonetheless, Basu believes that the only appropriate way to address harassment complaints is to go through the due process of law. "Trial by media will never be a replacement for it."
According to Paroma Mukherjee, a photo editor from Delhi, most of the women who have made allegations about Katyal are young, and senior photographers like her have offered their support to ensure that this does not become a "witch-hunt on a blog". "In this case, the photo community is undivided in giving support to the young women," she said.

Q: Should I always replace 'const int' with 'constexpr int' in C++11 whenever possible? Would you replace
const int one = 1;
const int two = 2;

with this?
constexpr int one = 1;
constexpr int two = 2;

Is my understanding correct that both blocks are semantically identical and that it is currently merely a matter of taste?
On the other hand, as constexpr implies const, you could argue that it is more consistent to always prefer the more restrictive form, even in trivial situations where it does not make a difference?
(I understand that the situation completely changes when the expression on the right side are allowed to be more complicated. So for clarification, the question only focuses on the most simple case where the expression is a fixed integer number.)

A: I think your statement saying that const and constexpr "are semantically identical" should be revised: they both declare objects whose value cannot change, but constexpr also requires the initializer expression to be computable at compile-time.
Now if the expression on the right-hand side cannot be computed at compile-time, using constexpr is out of the question. On the other hand, as long as the initializer is a literal, you could use constexpr, but keep into account what the semantics of your variable is: does your constant variable really represent something whose value should be computable at compile-time?
In a SW maintenance/evolution optics, it is possible that you will change the way you initialize your variable throughout time: today the initializer is a literal, tomorrow it might be a more complex expression.
Regardless of the way you are assigning it a value now, do you think that i will ever need to be initialized by anything else than a literal, and that the initializing expression may not be computable at compile-time? If that is the case, then just make your variable const, even though you are currently initializing it with a literal; otherwise, make it constexpr.
In other words, choose the qualifier that best expresses the semantics of your variable.

A: You don't have to replace const with constexpr in such case,
const int one = 1;
const int two = 2;

If you have a constant variable like this,
const int three = one + two;

you would better to define it as constexpr
constexpr int three = one + two;

to make sure three will be computed during the compilation period.
I know someone would argue, the modern compiler will do the optimizing, to even compute it just with const.
I just take an example for the usage of constexpr, the calculation maybe complicated and the compiler couldn't optimize it.

Loggins marches T-Bones past Saints
Dustin Loggins got his first win as a starter Monday night at St. Paul. (File photo by Matthew Hicks.)
07/09/2013 3:49 AM -
ST. PAUL, Minn. – In their 50th game of the season, the Kansas City T-Bones gave starting pitcher Dustin Loggins a three-run third inning, and that's all he needed in a 5-2 win over the St. Paul Saints on Monday night at Midway Stadium.
Kansas City scored three in the top of the third inning on five straights singles from Joey Gathright, Kennard Jones, Devin Goodwin, Matt Padgett and Kyle Nichols.
That's all the help Loggins (2-2) needed. In his third start, the converted reliever Loggins struck out five and scattered seven hits over seven innings. Two innings after Loggins' exit, Chad Robinson gave up one hit in an otherwise perfect ninth for his second save of the season.
Offensively, four T-Bones had multi-hit games, led by Nichols, who went three for five with three RBIs. It's his third multi-hit game since joining the T-Bones on July 4. Joining Nichols with more than one hit were Gathright, Jones and Padgett, who, on the day he was announced as the American Association's hitter of the week, went two for three with a single, double and two walks.
Although Kansas City added solo runs in the fifth and seventh innings, St. Paul starter Anthony Claggett (5-2) settled down after the third.
Kansas City (18-32), which snapped a three-game losing streak, will look to even the series with St. Paul in the fourth and final game Tuesday afternoon at 1:05 p.m.

Hands Off Those Military Ballots
By Joe Conason
When President Donald Trump demands that we "get rid of the ballots," everyone knows exactly what he means. Since last spring, the aspiring tinpot dictator in the White House has spit out daily tweets full of falsehoods about mail ballots, which he calls "awful," "terrible" and "ripe for FRAUD." He pretends to draw a distinction between mail-in ballots and absentee ballots – the method used by him and many others in the White House to vote – but in actual practice, there is no such difference.
Among the malignant effects of that Trump dictate would be the disenfranchisement of millions of American soldiers, their families and other military personnel when the time comes to vote.
It is precisely because so many of our troops and their spouses cast their ballots by mail that we know how safe, secure and generally free from fraud such voting is. As Trump intensified his campaign against mail-in voting, a chorus of former defense officials and retired military officers spoke up against his conspiratorial nonsense.
Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel recalled that he voted by mail for the first time as a young soldier and had observed the process ever since as a political leader and later in the Pentagon.
"I voted while sitting on top of a tank in Vietnam," Hagel told the military publication Task and Purpose. "A lot of guys that I knew in Vietnam were old enough to vote and voted by absentee ballot. I never heard of any problems. I never heard about any issues or anybody charging there was fraud, waste, or abuse in any process that involves voting absentee by mail."
As many officers noted sardonically, the system dates back to the Civil War – and nobody worried much about fraud until Trump suddenly realized that he's losing this election.
Should Trump succeed in persuading Republican election officials to discard mail ballots as supposedly being tainted by fraud, they will have to exclude the vast majority of military votes. According to the Federal Voting Assistance Program, more than two-thirds of those in military service who voted in the 2018 midterms submitted their absentee ballots by mail. Election officials sent more than 655,000 ballots to military and overseas voters two years ago and got more than 344,000 back – of which only 6% were rejected for any reason.
Twenty years ago, the question of counting military ballots arose during the catastrophic recount in Florida. With a razor-thin margin between Al Gore and George W. Bush that would determine the national election's outcome, some Democratic lawyers sought to disqualify hundreds of absentee ballots that had arrived late from overseas.
When the Bush team realized that the ballots to be discarded came from military bases, their reaction was explosive – and they weren't alone. The suggestion that military votes would be thrown out was so toxic that Gore's running mate, then-Sen. Joe Lieberman, repudiated his own legal team on national television.
Back then, and ever since, the assumption was always that military voters are conservative and, therefore, Republican [although as retired Gen. Wes Clark once observed, no institution in American life is more thoroughly "socialist" in caring for its constituents than the United States armed forces]. But with the advent of Donald Trump, that may no longer be a smart bet.
The most recent poll released by the Military Times in August showed a small lead for Joe Biden among military households – a "massive shift" from the 20-point lead that Trump enjoyed among those same voters in 2016. Moreover, there is an increasing sense of disgust with Commander Bonespurs in the military. The same poll found no less than 42% saying they "strongly disapprove" of his performance as president. [Perhaps they've figured out that he's trying to stop them from voting.]
Will Republicans who once expressed outrage over the notion that military votes would not be counted – because they arrived after a legal deadline – now let Trump get away with tossing them out because of a bogus suspicion of "fraud"? Yes, because most of them are cowards, not patriots.
But we can hope that among officers and troops, the courage to stand up for the Constitution will remain strong – and that their strength will inspire at least some Republicans to put country first.

We are well into apple season here and it's time to post an apple dessert! Want something different to put out on the dessert tray this Thanksgiving? Love apple crisp and want one you can pick up with your fingers and eat? Well then, I have the dessert for you! This recipe for apple crisp bars combines the portability of bar cookies with the flavor of apple crisp and then finishes it all off with my yummy and easy Butterscotch Sauce.
I've been making all sorts of fall salads and soups and comfort food recipes here lately, and now it's time for an apple dessert! The leaves are yellow and orange, the apples are bursting out of their bins, and there is a distinct chill in the air.
Last year I made my Twice the Apples Deep Dish Apple Pie (completely awesome, cuts like a dream!) for the blog, so I wanted to mix it up a little this year. Something different from apple pie, or apple crisp, or Apple Cake (also yummy!). A little thought brought me to my Raspberry Orange Bars and the idea of making apple crisp oatmeal bars. More thinking brought me to my Butterscotch Sauce, because apples and butterscotch are best friends and they belong together. Just like apples and caramel! Only butterscotch sauce is easier to make.
Really, it is. Give it a try!
It did take a few batches of apple bars to get the balance of apples versus crust just right and to decide on the flavors I wanted, but honestly no one was complaining even about the versions which I didn't consider blog-worthy. Even a decent apple crisp bar is pretty darn good!
However, I wanted an awesome apple bar and kept at it until I got it!
One thing which was very important was to make sure I had plenty of apples in the filling without having so many that they were too much for the crust to hold. On one hand, the apple crisp bars need to taste like apples (important, yes?? 🙂 ), but you also need to be able to cut them or what's the point? Four cups of juicy, sweet, tart apples was perfect for the recipe.
The other thing was I realized that I could streamline my Raspberry Orange Bars by using the same mix for the crust and the filling. One bowl. One mix. Just divide it. I've updated the raspberry bars to point here for the streamlined version, because it is so much easier.
Make butterscotch sauce and there you are!
Looking for a great and easy Thanksgiving or holiday dessert? Or just want a fun, fall dessert? Butterscotch apple crisp bars are a crisp in the form of a bar cookie. Easy and tasty!
You will need to make the butterscotch sauce before beginning the apple crisp bars.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9-13 baking dish with butter and then cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom and overhang the edges.
For the crust and topping: Add all the crust ingredients to a large bowl. With your fingers, mix and work the butter into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. Take out 2 1/2 cups of the mixture and reserve for the topping. Then take the remaining mixture and pour it into the prepared baking dish. Press down the crust to make an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
For the apple filling: While the crust is baking, peel and chop the apples. Then, in a large bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients. Once the crust comes out of the oven, spread the apple filling over it in an even layer and then sprinkle the reserved topping over it. Bake the crisp bars for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is browned and the apples are soft.
Allow the crisp bars to cool completely in the baking dish. Once they are fully cooled, remove them by pulling them out with the parchment paper and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut them into bars and drizzle the bars with butterscotch sauce.
For the butterscotch sauce use my recipe for butterscotch.
You can substitute a store bought butterscotch or caramel sauce which you enjoy for the homemade.
If you are having difficulty getting clean cuts when cutting the bars, refrigerate the uncut bars until fully chilled and then cut them. I don't have any problems cutting them at room temperature so long as they are fully cooled.
To get the best cuts when making bar cookies, I find that using a long knife which I can just press down to make the cut works the best. I cut down the length from side to side into strips and then cut the strips into bars.
I have used quick oats in place of the old fashioned oats, and the texture is different, but the bars are still excellent.
I used a mixture of Jonagold and Honeycrisp for the apples.
Thanks. 🙂 I'm definitely a fan of butterscotch! And for me fall is all about apples.
i'm sure these bars are ridiculously tasty on their own, but butterscotch sauce? that's got me swooning!
