In Crete, we use olive oil for everything, including baking sweets (Mediterranean Diet recipes classically use olive oil for baking). This cinnamon walnut apple cake has been baked for special occasions in my family for generations. Even though we have fruit for dessert on most nights, we will make this as a treat when we are celebrating. Olive oil makes for velvety and moist baked goods and I would highly recommend it for most of your baking needs. One tip is to try to get a buttery or fruity flavored olive oil when you are baking. Eat this cake with afternoon tea or coffee or after a light meal. Enjoy!

Beat eggs and sugar with a hand mixer for 10 minutes. Add olive oil and beat for an additional 3 minutes.
Add milk, wheat flour, baking powder and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes.
Brush a 9" cake pan with olive oil. Add half the batter to the pan.
In a bowl, mix apples, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, walnuts, raisins and cinnamon . Pour apple mixture on top of batter in cake pan.
Add remaining batter to pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until inserted knife comes out clean.
You can use either but make sure it's about 9 inches in diameter.
Recipe has been fixed. Super moist and delicious now!
Thanks for catching the flour overload!
When I originally made this it seemed good, but I think the grams to cups translation may have been a mistake. I think it should be closer to 3 1/2 cups. I will make it again in the next few days and let you know. Thanks for the comment!
I made this recipe today. It came out dry and like bread. I think it has 2 cups flour too much. Maybe 2 1/2 cups of flour instead of 4 1/2 cups of flour.
Hi Karen, I need to try this recipe again, but I'm pretty sure that it is supposed to have this amount of flour. Did you use a cup of olive oil?
I will let you know when I try it this weekend.


Frank and the Drifters enter the same still moment together. But before they can get him, Frank knows the way out. He smashes the window in front of him before getting in the moment.
In the still moment where all things become stiff, Frank walks over the falling glass of the window and lands on the streets safely.

Q: how sort items with redux I have a reducer and I wanna re-render my other components after case SORT_OLDEST, and guess what? in ordinary way doesn't work, how i can do this? case SORT_OLDEST return sorting but list, but my component doesn't see it

export default (state = allUserComments, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case ADD_COMMENT:
      return [createNewComment(action), ...state];
    case SORT_OLDEST:
      return state.reverse();
    default:
      return state;
  }
}

A: reverse mutates original array. Docs. You need to create another.
case SORT_OLDEST:
    return [...state].reverse();

A: You need to keep your reducers pure functions, meaning you don't want to mutate your state directly. Now I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure reverse() mutates the state array.
Just copy it before, like return [...state].reverse();

A: Array#reverse mutates the original array (original state).
Use: return state.slice().reverse();

Unlike dogs, it may be rare that your cat is regularly seen drinking from its water bowl. This can be quite common with cats for different reasons, but it is still important that they are sufficiently hydrated.
It is a common myth that indoor cats "do not get sick." Cats age at a faster rate than humans and generally should see their doctors more frequently.
Both the trip and visit to the veterinary clinic can be very stressful and overwhelming for our feline companions. We are taking them out of their routine and out of their home.
Deciding to keep your cat indoors has its pros and cons. It allows your cat to be protected from outside threats such as injuries from other animals, cars etc., and it puts them at less of a risk of contracting infectious diseases and parasites.

Watchers, Rose B. Simpson. TIME was photographed by award winning, Santa Fe based photographer, Julien McRoberts who is renown for her stunning imagery of the Southwest.
Every now and then, a project comes around that belts you in the brain, creating one of those "aha!" moments we all love but can't anticipate. TIME stands for Temporary Installations Made for the Environment and has been around since 2005. This year's exhibition is the first under the direction of fine art consultant and gallery owner Eileen Braziel, and was photographed by award-winning Santa Fe-based photographer Julien McRoberts, renowned for her stunning imagery of the Southwest. The state-driven art project (funded by the New Mexico One Percent for the Arts act as part of the Art in Public Places program) has chosen "Green Technologies/Innovative Ideas or Materials" for its 2010 theme and features everything from a hand-painted tipi and adobe windmills to biodegradable glass bowls and solar-powered lights.
According to Braziel, New Mexico is an ideal setting for the ongoing project. "In New Mexico we understand that the first innovators were the Native Indians and settlers. Solar, wind, and water are the most fundamental elements guiding green technology, and often drive ideas in New Media art installations where artists are using solar panels, LED lights, LED projectors, etc." Additional materials used in the exhibit include traditional adobe bricks, earth, seed, biodegradable soap and recycled metals from the Los Alamos Laboratory. A barcode located on the plaque of each installation allows viewers to download free information about each artist using their phones, completely eliminating the use of paper.

Defense major Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) has received a contract from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to provide 19 additional AN/TPQ (Q-53) radar systems, a long-range counter fire radar that provides soldiers with enhanced 360-degree protection from indirect fire. The contract is worth $206 million. The work on the contract will be performed at Lockheed Martin facilities in Syracuse, N.Y., Moorestown, N.J., Akron, Ohio, and Clearwater, Fla.
Lockheed Martin originally won this contract for Q-53 systems, formerly known as EQ-36, in 2007. In Jul 2008, the U.S. Army awarded the company 12 initial production systems and in April 2010 a contract with options for an additional 20 systems. In 2010, these Q-53 Lockheed Martin radar systems were used by the Iraqi and Afghanistan militaries. The systems can easily be mounted on a truck and have automated leveling and remote-operation capabilities.
The defense behemoth has delivered 32 initial production systems to the U.S. Army to date. Presently, it is producing 33 more systems, which were awarded in Mar 2012.
In mid 2013, the company won a firm-fixed-price contract extension worth $206.8 million from the DoD. Per the contract, Lockheed Martin will supply additional Q-53 radar systems and their corresponding spare parts.
Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defense contractor with a platform-centric focus that guarantees a steady inflow of follow-on orders. We expect Lockheed Martin to register a stable performance in the long run due to a leveraged presence in the Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs.
Although the aerospace and defense industry is faced with budget uncertainty and sequestration, these defense behemoths have diversified their businesses to counter the effect and are not lacking in DoD contracts. Recently, Lockheed Martin received an undefinitized modification contract worth $34.5 million from the DoD. Per the contract, the company will provide Autonomic Logistics Information System equipment, training devices, and sustainment and logistics work. Again, it received a contract worth $852.3 million from the DoD to provide the required equipment for F-35 fighter jets under Low Rate Initial Production Lot 6.
The company presently retains a short-term Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Other favorable names in the space include Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) and Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII). While Alliant Techsystems carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Northrop and Huntington Ingalls hold a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Have you signed up for the CSEP exam yet? Why not?!
Click here to start the process today! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact info@ileahub.com.
What is Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP)?
The CSEP designation is awarded by the International Live Events Association (ILEA) and its Certification Committee. ILEA is the only international umbrella organization representing professionals in all disciplines of the special events industry. Education and a commitment to professionalism are cornerstones of ILEA.
The CSEP continues a remarkable progression as world wide recognition of the special event industry continues to develop. Now more than ever before, professionals within this industry recognize the CSEP as an influential designation for education and the promotion of professional ethics and standards. Being a recipient of the CSEP demonstrates a continuous dedication to enhance individual and professional performance.
The special events industry has experienced phenomenal growth over the past several years and is changing at an even faster pace. Today, special events are more challenging and require an elevated level of professionalism.
The success of the CSEP program is dependent upon the exceptional performance of dedicated event professionals. Obtaining the CSEP designation not only sets recipients apart from the competition, but displays an ongoing commitment to professional growth and knowledge within the special events industry.
What do those four letters after your name mean?
When it's time to do your taxes you probably feel more comfortable bringing your business to a CPA. You wouldn't think about making a medical appointment with someone other than an MD or some kind of medical specialist. And you wouldn't trust your legal fate with someone who has not earned their JD. In each case, an individual has met standards and fulfilled requirements to achieve their degree or certification. Neither is easy to attain. They all take a lot of hard work, dedication, time and most of all commitment. So does the CSEP, the Certified Special Events Professional. Here are some reasons you should consider achieving the CSEP.
Certification demonstrates your commitment to the special events industry. Whether you are a CEO, department director or newcomer to the special events profession, receiving your CSEP shows your peers, clients, and the public your commitment to your career and your ability to perform to set standards.
CSEP enhances your professional image. The CSEP program seeks to grow, promote and develop certified professionals who can stand "out in front" as examples of excellence.
CSEP establishes professional credentials. Because the CSEP recognizes your individual accomplishments, it stands above your resume, serving as an impartial, third-party endorsement to your knowledge and experience. The designation defines you beyond your job description or academic degree. You can help control your professional destiny.
CSEP improves career opportunities. Certification identifies you as one who can adapt to changes in work, technology, business practices and innovation. It gives you the edge.
Certification improves your knowledge and skills. Achieving your CSEP shows your competence by confirming proficiency and career involvement, thus assuring knowledge.
CSEP offers greater recognition from peers. As a CSEP, you can expect increased recognition from peers for taking that extra step in your professional development.
The CSEP designation offers a competitive advantage when soliciting business as either a special events industry supplier or planner. You have proof of your professional market knowledge.
Special event professionals who earn the CSEP designation show their overall dedication to the profession and their continued commitment to excellence by maintaining their CSEP status.

Looking to book a Bouncy Castle party? In St Neots, Huntingdon, Cambridge, Peterborough or Bedford, then why not get in touch with us by calling 01480581091 or 07495077542.
If you're having a bouncy castle party in Cambridge, Huntingdon & St Neots or even Peterborough? Then please remember that cheap is not always best and if someone is offering inflatables at a too good to be true prices, then perhaps it is! Think about what they might be making cuts on and the dangers it may pose to you and your loved ones and even if you don't book with us or we don't have something which you're looking for, then we will always still offer advice and guidance to anyone who contacts us and can point you in the right direction of other similar companies.
A Bouncy castle party has always been a popular choice for a children's birthday party or even just a fun day with the kids during the summer months and they have been a regular attraction at events and fayres all over the world. If you are thinking about having a bouncy castle party always make sure that you research the company before you book!
On the whole, the bouncy castle industry is a safe one and inflatables today are built to the highest of standards, set out by HSE. There is, unfortunately, still a small minority of rouge hirers who only care about making money, cutting corners and safety is put aside. Always check the bouncy castle you are going to hire for your party has been tested and any honest company will provide this to you on request.
Bouncy castle Parties have been going on for as long as many of us can remember and a lot of us will have fond memories of them as a child, but today's bouncy castles are worlds apart from the earliest of bouncy castles.
The first inflatable was constructed by John Scurlock in 1959 after being asked to create inflatable covers and they did not resemble inflatables that we see today at bouncy castle parties, being just an inflatable bed with no walls.
He found his son's jumping on the inflatable bed and having a great time while doing it. This led him to create the first bouncy castle dome which has more of a resemblance to the castles we see today.
Unfortunately, back then there were no regulations surrounding the erection of bouncy castles and accidents did happen and children got hurt for obvious reasons, this is clear to see when you look at an image of the first bouncy castle. Fortunately, today, bouncy castle manufactures need to abide by strict requirements when building any inflatable, from things like the Height of walls, depth of the inflatable, the width of the step and the distance needed between the blower and the inflatable, and even to the type of material used.
These requirements led to safer bouncy castles and a, more enjoyable experience for all. But still, an inflatable is only as safe as the operator and improper setup of an inflatable, misguided use and poorly supervised children, along with improper maintenance can lead to just as serious accidents as a poorly made inflatable.
That is why bouncy castle operators now also need to abide by strict guidelines and laws when hiring out to the public and need to ensure that we have our inflatables tested annually by a qualified RPii Tester, we also need to ensure that everything is done in a safe and professional manner. Insurance is also a must for any hiring company and although it is not a legal requirement many operators including Crown Castles do hold the correct public liability insurance and are members of certain organisations where bouncy castle operators from all over the world can meet and discuss safety issues and getting valuable information from industry experts.
There are, however, still many cowboys out there who hire out dangerous, untested, bouncy castles, normally undercutting the legitimate companies. They can charge significantly lower prices as they have none of the overheads a legitimate company have, things like annual testing, repairs & insurance and are more than likely not paying any tax, this small minority within the industry sometimes undercut companies significantly, hiring a bouncy castle, in some cases for as little as £20!
There is still a lot of good and trustworthy companies out there and Crown Castles is one of them trustworthy companies, we really care about your safety and it always comes first before anything else and this is why our inflatables are PIPA Tested.
Our customers know when booking their bouncy castle party with us that they're in safe hands and that we will go above and beyond where ever possible. We supply equipment for lots of bouncy castle parties across Cambridgeshire and offer our bouncy castles in Huntingdon, St Neots and Bedford as well as parts of Northamptonshire & Peterborough.

Jenny was enjoying her first hike of the year during spring break. She was close to the summit of Mary's Peak, the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. Jenny looked forward to the spectacular view and being to be able to see the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Cascade Mountains to the east.
As she emerged from the tree-covered trail into the open meadow, Jenny noticed that the air was thick and hazy at the moutain's peak. She wasn't able to see much more than a few miles in any direction. How disappointing! This wasn't the typical Oregon coast fog. This was definitely haze.
In the summer, Jenny knew she could expect the occasional bad air day with car exhaust from Highway 101, Interstate 5, or dust from the Willamette Valley below causing poor air quality up at Mary's Peak. She wondered what could be happening on such a gorgeous spring day.
Looking around, Jenny noticed someone working on an instrument attached to one of the buildings at the summit. She asked him what he was doing.
Showing Jenny the filter from the air sampler, Robert continued, "Any dust in the air is trapped on this filter." He explained that the chemical properties of organic air pollutants causes them to stick onto the filter's resin beads, tiny beads about a millimeter in diameter made of a plastic-type substance.
When Jenny asked why the air was so hazy, Robert said he didn't know….yet. "Today's hazy conditions indicate that something unusual is going on. Typically the air is very clear with high visibility during the spring. I'm taking this air sample back to the lab to determine what chemicals are in the air. We can also look at weather data to see where this air came from," he explained.
On her hike back down the trail, she thought about what could be causing the air to be so hazy and where it was coming from. She also wondered how pollutants get into the air and what Robert was going to do with his air samples.
Robert and the rest of Dr. Staci Simonich's research team have been doing research on the movement of chemicals in the atmosphere. They could use an extra hand in the lab. Before we get started, let's learn more about chemicals in the environment.


Nan Shepherd: what shall be your badge?
blesses you with a continual harvest.
in the ever-living Wood of Caledon?
symbol of the untameable mountain?
Nan Shepherd is best known for The Living Mountain. First published in October 1977 it's now considered 'a masterpiece of landscape literature'.
Graham was a huge fan of the work and wrote a rapturous review in the Aberdeen Press & Journal. Hill walkers, climbers and skiers would all love the book, he was sure.
But it was not aimed at them alone. 'It is for everybody who has ever puzzled over the mystery of life', he said.
But there is more to Nan Shepherd than her 'little hill book', as her friend, the novelist Neil Gunn described it.
There were her three novels: The Quarry Wood, The Weatherhouse, and A Pass in the Grampians published between 1928 and 1933.
And, of course, there was In the Cairngorms, the slim volume of her verse, printed in 1934.
Harshly critical of her own work, Shepherd rarely mentioned her novels.
'Don't you loathe having your work over-praised?' she wrote to Neil Gunn in March 1930. 'It makes me feel positively nasty towards the praiser'.
But that 'ever-seeing eye' of The Living Mountain is already in use in Shepherd's earlier fiction. Most obviously, perhaps, in her multi-perspective The Weatherhouse.
The Weatherhouse, demands close reading, it's true. But like Shepherd's short story 'Descent from the Cross', it's worth it. Re-read it and all its surfaces are seen as surfaces.
By the 1960s all four of Shepherd's works were out of print. And she appeared to have slipped into literary obscurity.
Until 1977, of course, when The Living Mountain appeared. But it wasn't until the 21st century, thanks to the likes of Robert Macfarlane, that Shepherd's work really began to excite the attention it deserves.
Now her novels, poetry and other writings are back in print.
What shall be her badge? Read them. Then you can decide.
All quotes are referenced in Into the Mountain: A Life of Nan Shepherd.

In the 1970s, Nan Shepherd was introduced to the artist Barbara Balmer. 'Nan Shepherd's Sun Porch' captures the enigmatic writer's essence.
Nan Shepherd escaped as often as she could to her 'shanty' in the Cairngorms. But where was it?
Nan Shepherd and Jessie Kesson. Theirs was an unlikely friendship. It began by chance and lasted over forty years. It was Shepherd, Kesson credited with kickstarting her writing career. Now that Shepherd's works are once again in print, it's timely that Kesson's have been republished. Read Kesson's story of when she met the 'Lady in the Train'.

Just finished reading this delightful story by David Rosenfelt. I can tell a book by its cover, mainly, the inner jacket cover and Mr. Rosenfelt's photo. I recalled seeing his photo from another book of his that I enjoyed, so I picked this one up and didn't want to put it down until I was finished with the read. He had me laughing out loud at his dialogue. Laughing is good medicine and I appreciate it when I find it in a book. He brought characters to life that I cared for and there were consistent twists and turns to make the outcome uncertain. The roots of the intrigue went deep, pun intended and you will recognize it if you read the book!
Reading mysteries is good exercise for the mind and suspense is a part of daily life, especially when one tries to live in the moment. Even though dealing with suspense on the page is easier than real life, reading about suspense counts as practice for daily life, as no story is really new in the human experience. It is good to have adventure with people whom one cares about and this book delivers adventure and laughs and caring.


The Congressional Budget Office calculates that normal, higher rates would increase the deficit by about $4 trillion over 10 years. This risk could be better managed by the Treasury locking-in today's low rates by issuing 50-year or 100-year bonds.
The authors make a compelling case by citing the many instances of 100-year bonds issued to strong demand: Disney, Coca-Cola, IBM, Federal Express, Ford, Ohio State, Yale University, Mexico, and maybe soon Canada.
Why not issue longer-term debt that locks in lower rates? Well, the rate spread means that "lower" is relative over time. Longer-term rates are higher now, even though they would be almost certainly lower than future rates.
Political self-interest might argue for short-term debt because short-term debt yields are typically the lowest, which makes the deficit picture look temporarily better. But short-term borrowing also virtually guarantees that future generations of Americans will face higher debt burdens and higher taxes.
Larry Summers or Janet Yellen: The Safe Choice?
I think it's time for Republicans to take a breath and acknowledge some of the things the Obama White House is doing right. The two names I have heard as top candidates for nomination to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve are both worthy of support: Larry Summers and Janet Yellen.
Half a dozen women interviewed by POLITICO described Summers as a major promoter of and mentor to women in the Obama and Clinton administrations. They described him as tough, opinionated and demanding of high performance — both from men and women.
"Everyone needs to be judged on their merits, and it's not fair to judge Larry as someone who is not supportive of women because that is not the record," said Sandberg, who rose to become Summers's chief of staff at Treasury and is now the COO at Facebook. Sandberg credited a major speech Summers gave in the early 1990s on the importance of educating girls in developing countries as critical in injecting the issue into public debate. "The thing that's missing here is that Larry cares deeply about issues for women in the economy," Sandberg said.
On the substance of monetary policy, would Summers be a good central banker? Well, he and I have a different world view, to say the least, but as far as Democrats go, yes.
Defenders of the Team Obama will say that they saved America from a true depression. Their aggressive action on the stimulus and annual trillion dollar deficits were vital to buffering the financial crisis: this is their argument. I disagree, but I do so with respect that we will never know alternatives. They had a crisis, to be sure, and had a set of options. In simple terms, they could have made a better choice (bipartisan, smaller but permanent adjustments to tax rates, and so on) but they made what amounted to a safe choice (a rigidly partisan stimulus, undisciplined expansions of jobless benefits, and in Summers ling "timely, targeted, temporary" fiscal adjustments that turned out to meet none of those three criteria).
Team Obama got a safe result — no depression, but no real recovery. The U.S. economy this very day has news of another lackluster quarter of GDP growth. The labor market appears to have permanently shed millions of willing workers from the labor force while Obama's legislative accomplishments have shifted millions more from full-time to part-time work. But the depression was avoided.
Disagree as I might with Summers on some fiscal policy issues, I still trust him. I trust his intelligence and his fairness and most of all his good will. On monetary issues, I think he may well be great. He will be a safe choice, and a good choice too.
On the other hand, Janet Yellen is much more of an expert on monetary policy, hands down. The next decade will involve some very tough decisions about the timing of unwinding the exotic instruments of monetary stimulus that have been deployed under Ben Bernanke. Yellen's resume is sterling, but especially valuable is her experience (see: decades of) working at the Federal Reserve. Yellen is an even safer choice for Fed chair.
It would be nice if Republicans would voice support for both candidates, now. America's economy, as they well know, is still weak. There are far worse choices for Fed chair, which is just one reason why these two merit some bipartisan applause.
Now the professionals are discovering what it feels like to bet your youth on something that may not pan out. These articles on the decline of the industries that absorbed decades of humanities graduates have a panicked tone. If an education doesn't guarantee you a good job, what does? Are we living in a society in which all but the most ruthless go-getters will be economically insecure?
Well, probably. But welcome to the world most people live in — and have always lived in. Even in those halcyon days of the 1950s, union jobs were a minority of work; union membership peaked in 1954 at 28 percent of all employed people. Most people were in less stable jobs, working for small businesses, in domestic service, and so forth. Read Studs Terkel's "Working" for a look at what employment in the 1960s was actually like, as opposed to what collective memory has airbrushed it into.
So an illiquid aircraft, or attorney, is suddenly only as valuable as its raw ingredients, whether that is steel & plastics or muscle & brains. If the churn rate in specialized capital is high and uncertain, then investments will be cautious and cash hoarding high. Is that optimal? Maybe we're all ronins now.
Inadvertently, America's higher education system has become a massive lab experiment, the results of which suggest that means testing social programs can ultimately hurt the very people it is meant to protect.
… At Penn State, which uses the high-tuition, high-aid model, the sticker price for tuition at the school's flagship campus was $15,250 for the 2010-2011 school year, the most recent year for which all data is available. Including room and board and other expenses and subtracting financial aid, public college students from Pennsylvania families making less than $30,000 a year faced a bill of almost $17,000 per year. Families had to pay more than half of their yearly income to send one child to school. That's after factoring in financial aid from any source, including the maximum federal Pell Grant awarded to the student.
A fascinating video The History of Fonts is on the Atlantic's website this morning.
These days, I find that the classic fonts more comfortable. When word processing, I almost always shift text over to Times New Roman. I have less patience for reading or writing in the sans serifs. Garamond is something I'll use on rare occasion. And, odd as it may seem, but I like Courier, probably because of my nostalgia for the typewriter years of my teens. I'm actually a little surprised that there aren't more monospaced fonts like it in WORD and other common software.
If anyone reading this shares my quirky interest in fonts, I'd love to hear a quick comment from you. What are your favorites? I wonder if Bryan Caplan or Garett Jones ever give this a moment's thought?
So our essay IN DEFENSE OF CITIZENS UNITED in this month's issue of Foreign Affairs is causing quite a stir. Apparently, the idea of free speech as an absolute principle is truly disturbing to some people. And those who distrust voters call themselves democrats? If folks can set aside their knee-jerk assumptions, think seriously about the empirical facts (increasing money, increasing partisan control of that money, increasing hyperpartisanship in Congress), and think seriously about monopolistic corruption of democracy — basically open their minds with critical thinking — they might be surprised.
Here is Glenn's interview by Gideon Rose of Foreign Affairs on YouTube.

Q: getting AccessViolationException in IOCompletionCallback I get the following exception on application startup:
System.AccessViolationException
   at System.Threading.Overlapped.get_iocbHelper()
   at System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* pOVERLAP)

That's the entire call stack. It only happens one in twenty runs right on application startup. I do use IOCompletion in my socket code. I assume it is related to that. However, why would this exception not show when I call Socket.ReceiveFromAsync? I have a lot of sockets that simultaneously call ReceiveFromAsync, but I don't call it twice on the same socket concurrently. Any ideas on the cause?

A: After trying really hard to get the IO-completion method to work, I finally gave up and just wrote my own threads that call the synchronous versions of send and receive.  I haven't had any problems since.
I have some C++ code that uses IO-completion, in a high-volume setting even, and I've never had this problem.
So it seems clear to me that the C# implementation of IO-completion is bugged, and that it's not anti-malware, firewall, or any (non-Microsoft) crapware.

Below we demystify a few terms familiar to families at St. James':
9:10 A.M. Service
The 9:10 a.m. service is a family-friendly service of Holy Eucharist. Children and youth serve as acolytes, lay readers, prayer leaders, ushers and chalice bearers; the children's choirs sing.
Acolytes carry crosses, torches, flags and banners in the procession and assist the priests during the liturgy at the 9:10 a.m. service
Children's & Family Ministries
Children's & Family Ministries is the umbrella group for everything that goes on for families with children birth through sixth grade.
Children's Eucharist
Children's Eucharist focuses on young children at the 9:10 a.m. service on the first Sunday of each month. The Primary class students worship with their parents, all of the children's choirs sing, one Church School class writes and leads the Prayers of the People, all of the children are invited up to the front for the homily, and the First Sunday Food Offering is received.
Communion Awareness
Communion Awareness classes are offered twice each year. Children and parents participate in an instructed Eucharist and are able to ask all the questions that they have about communion.
Decalogue Leaders
Decalogue Leaders lead the reading of the Ten Commandments during Advent and Lent at the 9:10 a.m. service.
Family Fridays feature bingo, movies, Lego building, dancing, and dinner from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Every Family Friday includes a mission component and encourages helping others. Watch for emails and notices in the Sunday leaflet for Family Friday dates.
Family Fellowship Food Offering
Family Friday Food Offering responds to food donations requested by the Yorkville Common Pantry. On the first Sunday (and/or Family Friday) of each month at the 9:10 a.m. service, parishioners are encouraged to place food donations in the basket in front of the altar on the way to receiving com- munion. This concrete way of giving is understandable even to our young children.
Lay Readers
Lay Readers read the lesson at the 9:10 a.m. service.
Planitzer Nursery
Planitzer Nursery is a room maintained for our youngest parishioners, ages 0-2. The room is staffed by three wonderful women every Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Pledging Member
Pledging Member is someone who has let the church know their financial commitment to the parish (what they intend to give) for annual operations in the calendar year. The gift(s) to fulfill the commitment may be made at one time, every week, or in another giving pattern during the year.
Prayer Leaders
Prayer Leaders lead the Prayers of the People at the 9:10 a.m. service.
Sunday Morning Hospitality includes coffee and donut holes in Sunderland Hall from 8:30-9:05 a.m. Coffee service also follows the 9:10 a.m. service.
Toddler-Primary Chapel Service
Toddler-Primary Chapel Service is a brief worship service in the Primary classroom. The children light the candles, take up the offering, make a prayer circle and say "Thank you, God for…", hear a homily by one of the clergy, and extinguish the candles. On the fourth Sunday of the month, this service includes communion.
Toddler-Primary Offering
Toddler-Primary Offering is the total of offerings taken up in our Toddler and Primary Chapel Service. The ministry that receives each year's Toddler-Primary Offering is chosen by the children and teachers.
Worship Cart
The Worship Cart at the back of the nave provides packets for children's use during the service. Each packet contains crayons, a pencil, paper and the "Sunday Paper," an activity page for children based on the Gospel lesson of the day. A letter to the parents on the back of the Sunday Paper helps parents continue the teaching of the day throughout the week.


Most people find it difficult to locate a job they really enjoy — if you've found a career you love, congratulations! Keeping yourself up to date on cutting-edge issues, building a network, and learning from your fellow practitioners will go a long way to cementing your status as an expert professional.
Every profession has different rules governing who counts as a member of that profession, and who is considered an 'expert'. For engineers, doctors, and the like, where a mistake can cost lives or millions of dollars, the barrier to entry involves rigorous tests and usually years of specialized education. After you pass the exams, you're certified or licensed as a professional.
In other cases, the requirements are not nearly as strict. Anyone, for example, can call themselves a barber — what determines who makes it and who doesn't is whether their clients keep coming back. Yet even in these unregulated professions, there's still a certain 'pecking order' from experts to mass-market providers.
As a professional, how can you rise from the status of wet-behind-the-ears beginner to recognized experts? Here are some tips that will help.
Building a wide-ranging international network is key to staying abreast of the latest news in your field. Moreover, your network will feed you opportunities and expose you ideas you'd never otherwise experience.
Since you'll never know everything, respect your fellow professionals. Take every opportunity you get to collaborate with them and pick their brains.
If there's a professional society in your field, become a member and participate in the meetings. Alternately, form a discussion group with other people you work with, and meet over lunch to talk about recent experiences.
You needn't limit yourself to networking locally, either. Reach out to professionals and potential clients abroad. This will be easier if you already have inquiries coming from those areas, or a visible connection to the countries. Having your website available in the local language will help here. Website translation is fast and inexpensive, and the benefits are too numerous to list. (You can get more information on web translation here).
You may be working on a regular basis, but it's still worth while occasionally to go back to school. There are always opportunities to increase your knowledge base and diversify your skills. This could be everything from business courses that help you run your business better, to professional education courses that let you take on work you'd previously refused.
Continuing professional education does not just teach you a few extra skills. In the process, you'll meet other professionals in your field and get to know them, and you'll have a valuable perspective on how the profession as a whole is evolving.
No industry is static. You'll only be able to excel if you have access to the latest information on your industry, telling you about the latest innovations and how they affect your position. Keep yourself in the loop with all means at your disposal.
Contrary to popular belief, mentor relationships are not necessarily formalized 'master and apprentice' type situations. A mentor relationship can be as formal or as casual as you like, and many mentoring situations aren't even recognized as such.
A mentor is simply a more experienced individual in your profession with whom you have a one on one relationship, through which they guide and teach you from their experience. In some cases, this may be via older leaders or employees at your workplace whom you can ask to meet for lunch on a regular basis.
In other cases, you might simply make a habit of listening to seminars or podcasts from experts in your field who wouldn't be available for one-on-one coaching. This approach can still be effective, though — by coming to understand how they approach the profession, you can apply their techniques in your own work.
Whether you're looking to become a professional in a given field or whether you want to rise to the top of your current field, the route is roughly the same. You want to soak up as much useful information and knowledge as you can, while developing good relationships with the professionals around you.
As tempting as it is to view your fellow professionals as 'competition', in most cases this is not strictly true. Many markets have more clients than there are professionals to serve them. Even when the competition is fierce, though, it's often still in everybody's interest to share information… just don't expect your fellow professionals to give you their trade secrets.


Imagine a development system that could give you the ability to rapidly build line of business solutions, perhaps saving up to 70 percent of your development time. Would that be of interest to you? Imagine the same system already coming pre-built with the capability to be multi-tenant and multi-lingual. Would that save your development team some coding hours? How about a pre built form designer / report system and database design tool?
What about the option to support both an on premise and in the cloud deployment model all with the same codebase. Now consider the systems capability to be scalable up to 24,000 simultaneous users with sub second response times. How much effort would be required to architect a solution to deliver that level of performance?
We invite you to attend the Business Action world tour to learn about Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 as a rapid development tool or XRM. Come to this event to learn what many ISV's already know today. Developing on Dynamics CRM 4.0 can help you deliver your solutions to market faster and free up your developers to work on the parts of the solution that matters most to your clients.
The Business Action World Tour event showcases the power of Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a development platform and also introduces many new demonstrations showcasing how leading edge technology can extend it even further.
Can your company afford not to attend and network with other ISV's and Microsoft?

Justin Bonsignore Looks To Extend NASCAR Modifed Tour Point Lead At Beech Ridge Saturday
August 19, 2021 raceproweekly NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
Story By: KYLE SOUZA / JUSTIN BONSIGNORE MOTORSPORTS – HOLTSVILLE, NY – Justin Bonsignore will continue his quest for a third NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship this Saturday, August 21, at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.
As the Whelen Modified Tour heads back to the Maine oval for the first time since 2005, Bonsignore leads the championship standings by 12 over Patrick Emerling.
In the first nine races of the season, Bonsignore has eight top-five finishes, including one feature win at Jennerstown. In his last 50 Whelen Modified Tour starts, Bonsignore has 18 wins, 39 top-fives and 35 top-10 finishes. His grip on new race tracks is also impressive, with the Holtsville, New York, native winning in his first start at Jennerstown in 2020, winning the tour debut at White Mountain Motorsports Park in 2020, and finishing second at Lancaster Speedway just a few races ago.
He's excited to try and do it again this weekend in the state of Maine.
"I'm definitely excited for another new race track," Bonsignore said. "Not sure what to expect, but we will watch a bit of video going into it and see what we can learn. Hopefully we can have a good run and keep our momentum going. We are into that final stretch. We just have to keep doing what we are doing and we will be in contention for it."
The race day schedule for the Rumble at the Ridge 200 includes one Whelen Modified Tour practice session from 2:50-3:50 p.m., and an autograph session behind the grandstands at 5:30 p.m. The Mayhew Tools pole award will be determined at 6:30 p.m., followed by the drop of the green flag in the 200-lap event at 7:30 p.m. The race will air live on NBC Sports Gold through TrackPass, and will also be tape-delayed on NBCSN on Sunday, August 29.

Yes, dentist must be careful of posting their patient reviews in net because it might cause the readers to get disappointed.
I came to this dentist after recommendation from another dentist, whom i had been seeing for 10 years. I have found him very kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

Plotting Australia's biggest adventure race
Author Carly Lubicz
| | 24 January, 2015 at 18:58
While adventure-racing athletes will converge on Townsville from all over the world in August for XPD – Australia's own expedition-length adventure race – there is plenty of work that needs to be done behind the scenes between now and then. And who better to enlist than local Goers Linda Davis and Adrian Garnett: Doing their fair share of adventure sport, including six of the seven XPD races, this active couple are crucial to the plotting of the top-secret 700km course.
"After seven to 10 days of hardcore adventure racing, the finish line gives you goose bumps – even if it's 1am and there are just a few officials there to see it, it's the best feeling… the pizza, tub of ice-cream and champagne help too!"
The West Coast Trek in the first Tasmanian XPD race.
"Our house is a mess at the moment," tells Linda over a banana smoothie at Zeek on Gregory Street. "We have maps everywhere and the computer screens are permanently displaying Google Earth," she adds with a laugh.
The Mount Wellington Organ Pipe Abseil (Linda right at the top) – not for the faint-hearted!
Over the Christmas break while many were relaxing or escaping the heat, Linda and Adrian were roaming the Townsville region's wilderness – up to 400km away. The information they're continuing to gather on these remote missions will be instrumental in deciding what course the 700km 10-day race takes, and it all must remain top secret till 24-hours before the 50 teams set-off in early August.

"We have completed several 12-hour paddling trips, and another trip took us eight hours to cover 50km on the bike where the vegetation was so thick," Linda pauses to show some of the scratches still on her upper arms from the wait-a-whiles. "Adrian has been investigating some options by using the trips as training runs for an upcoming trail race… I pick him up at the end. It's been so much fun exploring and – while we are from this area and know it pretty well – we didn't realise things were looking as good as what they are."
Who knows what obstacles you'll encounter in XPD – sand dunes?
Linda and Adrian are recceing a number of course options, which will get narrowed down tothe final choice just before the event takes place. In their current plans, several alternatives don't start from Townsville. "It's been funny watching the people around us trying to work out where we are going and what we are doing to get the inside information," Linda says. "We have been throwing out some decoys just to keep people guessing… we've heard of a few unnecessary trips up certain rivers (laughs)."
You could say this was in a challenging mountain bike ride…
While the couple can't take part in this race for obvious reasons, XPD is something that has always drawn Linda with her strong orienteering, mountain biking and paddling background; despite the pain and discomfort that the teams of four endure during the epic race.
"We've done New Zealand, Broken Hill, two in Tasmania, the Australian Alps, the Whitsundays and Cairns," she tells. "Your feet end up twice as big, you've got festering cuts, you've lost heaps of weight, and you spend days afterwards cleaning out storage containers of rotting food, but it's all about crossing that finish line.
While most of us won't be competing in the race, Linda says there are plenty of other ways to get involved, including volunteering at checkpoints (even the remotest ones), billeting visiting international teams, escorting media and helping to upload data on the website for people monitoring results from all over the world.

"There are jobs for everyone, even for people who think they can't be useful," she says. "It's just something that's really exciting to be involved in. Essentially, when was the last time we had an adventure racing World Series event here in Townsville?"

In Florida, Dell laptop designed specifically for Spanish-speaking users
It's one thing for a US manufacturer to package, label and offer instructions for its products in Spanish as well as English. It's quite another, however, to offer fully Spanish versions of those products, particularly when they're relatively big-ticket items such as computers. Sure enough though, that's just what Dell is doing in Florida, with a laptop in its Inspiron line that's customized for Spanish-speaking users. Offered through South Florida retailer BrandsMart USA, Dell's Inspiron M5030 is now available with a Spanish-configurable edition of Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium as well as a Spanish language keyboard. Designed exclusively for the US market, the device also offers a 15.6-inch widescreen LCD, AMD Athlon II dual-core processor, 320GB hard drive and built-in webcam and microphone. Pricing is USD 498.88 — the same as it charges for its English-speaking version. "BrandsMart caters to about 45 percent of the Hispanic market, [so] it's a pretty easy partner to test the grounds with," Dell account executive Gerald Zapata told the Miami Herald. "We're seeing good results so far. It's starting to sell as well as the English product." Assuming that trend continues, Dell will likely extend the offering to other stores as well, the Herald reported. Hispanic Americans now account for about 16 percent of the US population, according to the US Census Bureau. How long before manufacturers large and small begin to offer language-specific versions of their products there — and around the world? (Related: Translation cards for travellers with allergies.)

St. Romaric (Feast: December 8)
St. Amatus of Remiremont, a French abbot, converted to Christianity a Merovingian nobleman named Romaric, who, giving up his title and renouncing the world, became a monk at Luxeuil.
Later, Amatus and the new convert established a monastery on Romaric's former estate in Habendum, Lorraine.
Early in his life Romaric's father had lost his life and lands at the hands of Queen Brunhilda.
Young Romaric became a homeless wonderer, but at the time of his meeting with St. Amatus, he was again a person of means and distinction at the Court of Clotaire II. He owned considerable property and had a number of serfs whom he freed upon entering religion.
It is said that when Romaric received the tonsure, several of his former serfs joined him in his new life.
After St. Amatus, Romaric became the abbot of Remiremont (Romaric Mons or Romaric Mount) for thirty years.
St. Romaric died in 653.

Sea turtles use geomagnetic imprinting and magnetic navigation for birth beach return
Jeffrey Morgan
The life of the turtle has always fascinated the world. A recent research has found that the adult female sea turtles are magnetically drawn to the beaches where they were hatched. Reportedly, the sea turtle brain contains small magnetic beads which help them to identify specific magnetic signatures of every individual beach, thus they can find back their way back to their birthplace even after a long sojourn.
"Sea turtles migrate across thousands of miles of ocean before returning to nest on the same stretch of coastline where they hatched, but how they do this has mystified scientists for more than fifty years," co-author J. Roger Brothers of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, said in a press release.
Their work provides enough evidence that turtles imprint on the unique magnetic field of their birth beach as hatchlings and retrieve this information as adults to return to the same place.
It has been known from previous works that while in the sea, sea turtles firmly depend on Earth's magnetic field as their guide but the specific mechanisms through which the adult female turtles decide to return to their natal beach was not clear.
Greenish comet Lovejoy at 43,600,000 miles away, will return after 11,000 years
In this latest study, the researchers analyzed a 19-year database of loggerhead nesting sites along the eastern coast of Florida. A strong link between the spatial distribution of turtle nests and subtle shifts in the Earth's magnetic field was established, reported Discovery News. This observation was explained further with suitable example like, when Earth's magnetic field get shifted; as a result, magnetic signatures of nearby beaches move closer, and when it happens there remain high probability of finding more nests on the same stretch of beach. In years when the magnetic signatures move farther apart, the nests should be more spread out.
And exactly that seem to be the case it reality. When magnetic signatures converged, an average increase of 35% in nesting density was noted and when the signatures diverged, nesting density decreased by an average of 6%.
Successful nesting requires soft sand, the right temperature, the least number of predators, and an easily accessible beach. When combining all these features comes, adult female sea turtle tends to believe mom already made the best choice, a reason that explains why she prefers to hatch on the same beach where she was born.

Boeing issues warning on potential instrument malfunction after Indonesia crash
Officials said on Nov. 1 Indonesian divers found a "black box" believed to be the flight data recorder of the Lion Air jet that crashed on Oct. 29.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Airplane manufacturer Boeing on Wednesday issued a bulletin to airlines worldwide warning of erroneous readings from flight-control software on its planes, after a Lion Air jetliner crashed into the sea soon after takeoff, killing the 189 people on board.
Boeing, which is assisting in an investigation into what went wrong in the Oct. 29 crash of one of its new 737 Max 8 jets, said it issued the bulletin as "part of its usual process."
The Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday issued an emergency notice to all operators of Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9 planes. It warned airlines that erroneous sensor inputs like the one that came into play in Indonesia "could cause the flight crew to have difficulty controlling the airplane," leading to "possible impact with terrain."
Boeing's bulletin was the first indication that an error with the aircraft's systems may have caused problems for the Lion Air flight, which took off from Jakarta. At takeoff, the plane's altitude fluctuated dramatically, and the plane increased in speed before nose-diving into the Java Sea 13 minutes later.
Since it began operations in 2000, the Indonesian budget carrier Lion Air has had more than a dozen safety incidents, including fatal accidents.
Indonesian investigators have recovered the plane's flight data recorder, which showed that the plane's airspeed indicator malfunctioned on its last four flights.
"It's a stunning simple but deadly error," said Mary Schiavo, an aviation lawyer and former inspector general of the U.S. Transportation Department. "I can't even recall the number of accidents I've worked where the accident happened the first flight after maintenance. A reported problem, they supposedly fixed it, and then it goes down."
Boeing's bulletin said, "The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee has indicated that Lion Air Flight 610 experienced erroneous input from one of its AOA (Angle of Attack) sensors." A misreading in the sensor can cause a plane to dive suddenly.
The bulletin provided instructions to flight crews on what they can to do correct the sensor's "failure," which it said can happen when the flight is being operated in manual.
Indonesian investigators said Wednesday that an AOA sensor on the jet was replaced the day before the doomed flight, on Oct. 28, when a pilot flying the same aircraft on a different route, from Bali to Jakarta, reported problems with it. The pilot on the crashed Lion Air flight had asked shortly after takeoff to return to the airport in Jakarta but lost contact with air traffic controllers afterward.
The Angle of Attack sensor, shown to reporters at a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday, was manufactured by Minnesota-based Rosemount Aerospace Inc. The company did not respond to a request for comment.
Schiavo said it's clear from flight-tracking data that the pilots fought to keep the plane up.
"The pilots had a battle on their hands for a few minutes," she said. "They couldn't get above 5,000 feet at a time when they should have been over [10,000]. Something happened three to four minutes into the flight. They called to turn back to the airport, but they didn't call mayday, which means they didn't have time. They were fighting something."
In Jakarta, investigators showed reporters the AOA sensor that was removed from the aircraft. The small black cylinder contains a sensor that controls the angle between the wing and the air it is moving through. If the angle is too high as a plane climbs, that would cause a stall.
The Boeing 737 Max 8 jets are among the manufacturer's newest models and have been snapped up by airliners in booming aviation markets, including Indonesia and India. More than 200 are in service across the world, billed as the most advanced of the popular 737 jets — and capable of flying more than twice as far than the plane that debuted in 1967.
Indonesian authorities would provide Boeing with information from the pilot who flew with the problematic sensor so it could be shared with other airlines , said Nurcahyo Utomo, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Committee.
Ony Suryo Wibowo, another investigator, said that it was too early to say what caused the crash. The full investigation could take a year.
Divers find 'black box' from wreckage of Indonesian Lion Air jet
The two Indonesian airlines that fly the Boeing 737 Max 8 planes, national carrier Garuda and Lion Air, both declined to comment on the bulletin. Indonesian officials say that all 11 such aircraft have been tested and declared safe to fly.
The 787 Max 8 is the second Boeing aircraft to experience serious technical problems soon after its introduction, leading some analysts to question whether Boeing may have overlooked quality concerns as it strives to meet rising global demand. Boeing has been working to increase production capacity at the Renton, Wash., factory where 737s are assembled.
The FAA grounded Boeing's entire 787 fleet in 2013 after lithium-ion batteries overheated and caught fire. The National Transportation Safety Board later faulted Boeing as well as its battery supplier, GS Yuasa, for its approach to safety and quality control.
The Seattle Times reported in August that Boeing's Renton factory has struggled to meet its production targets amid late deliveries from companies manufacturing its components. The company has sought to increase its production from 47 jets per month to 52 per month.
On Wednesday, Indonesian officials said the doomed flight would be re-created at Boeing facilities in Seattle to see what role the sensor may have played.
Experts have been puzzled about what could have caused the jet to go down in clear skies, unlike other major airplane disasters in which weather or older jets were major factors. The impact of the crash caused the wreckage to scatter, making it difficult to find and identify the victims. As of Thursday afternoon local time, 51 of the 189 people on board had been identified.
The data from the flight recorder and Boeing's statement have provided the first clues, but rescuers are still searching for the device that records voices in the plane's cockpit. That recorder is expected to provide a clearer picture to investigators of the Lion Air flight's final moments.
"Boeing has now introduced two aircraft that have had significant problems," said Henry Harteveldt, an analyst with the consultancy Atmosphere Research Group. "What will have to be found is, is Boeing pushing itself too hard? Are the workers moving too fast to meet production deadlines?"
Still, Teal Group aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia said the commercial passengers should not be nervous about getting on a 737 Max 8.
"We're going to learn from this just like we learned from the A330," he said, referring to a 2009 incident in which an Airbus A330 crashed off the coast of Brazil with 228 people on board due to electronics failures. "The big picture is the system keeps getting safer and safer, and it's still the safest form of transportation ever designed by humans," he said.
Shibani Mahtani in Singapore and Ainur Rohmah in Jakarta and Aaron Gregg in Washington contributed to this report.
