Problem: Article: At this temperature, the meat will achieve a perfect sear without overcooking the interior. Leave it in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a brown, crispy crust has formed. When you're satisfied with the crust, remove the roast and prepare to carve it right away. Do not overcook the meat or allow it to burn. Place the roast on a carving board. Cut and remove the string tying the bones to the meat, and set the bones aside. Carve the roast into 14 to 12 inch (0.6 to 1.3cm) slices against the grain using a very sharp carving knife. from the drippings. In a saucepan, heat up 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk until the gravy has thickened. Add the rest of the drippings and enough cream to make 1 or 2 cups of liquid, depending on how many people you're serving. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Beer, stock, or water may be added instead of cream. Ask your guests how well they would like their meat done. Meat near the edge will be more done than in the center slices. Place the gravy in a dish to be passed around the table. The meal is excellent with creamed spinach, Yorkshire pudding and fresh salad.
Summary: Heat the oven to 550F (288C). Place the roast back in the oven to sear the top. Carve the roast. Make gravy Serve the roast.

Problem: Article: While practicing mindfulness meditation, practitioners are urged to observe their thoughts, acknowledge their feelings, and then allow them to pass. They are not supposed to judge or fixate on their thoughts. Practitioners are now applying this meditation technique to their work on the computer. This requires you to disengage from work and take a moment to observe and acknowledge the letters, spaces, images, and thoughts displayed on the screen. Pause from your work for a brief mindfulness meditation session. Slide your chair back, close your eyes, and or slow your breathing. Ask yourself the following questions and take a mental note of your responses: "What do I feel in this moment?" "What am I thinking about in this moment?" "How am I present in this moment?" "How am I not present in this moment?" Once you are aware of your own thoughts and feelings, turn your attention to the computer screen. The goal of this exercise is to use the computer to transport yourself into a state of calmness, relaxation, and mindfulness that will then carry over to the rest of your workday. As you practice: Take note of the letters in a word, the sentences in a paragraph, and the thoughts they are conveying. Acknowledge the icons on your desktop, the empty spaces on an open web page, and the cursor in the corner of your screen. If your mind wanders, return your attention to the screen. Gradually regain your awareness and return to work feeling refreshed and refocused.
Summary: View your computer as an object of meditation. Assess your thoughts and feelings. Observe the computer screen for 2 to 3 minutes.

Problem: Article: Overload can show up in different ways for different people. It may look like a panic attack, getting "hyper," shutting down, or having a meltdown (which resembles a tantrum, but is not thrown on purpose). During a relaxed time, ask yourself about the signs of sensory overload. What triggers it? What behavior do you (or your loved one) use when you start feeling overwhelmed? If you are a parent or caretaker, you can also ask a child who experiences sensory overload about triggers when they are relaxed. Many autistic people use different "stims," or repetitive motor mannerisms, when overloaded than at other times (such as rocking when happy and hand-flapping when overloaded). Think about if you have a stim that you only use for self-calming or coping with overload. If you lose normal functioning abilities, such as speaking, this is often a sign of severe overload. Caretakers and parents may especially notice this with young children who are overloaded. A person experiencing visual overload may need to wear sunglasses indoors, refuse eye contact, turn away from people who are speaking, cover one's eyes, and bump into people or things. To help with visual stimulation, reduce the items that hang from the ceiling or walls. Keep small items put away in bins or boxes, and organize and label the bins. If lighting is overwhelming, use a lamp instead of fluorescent lighting. You can also use darker bulbs instead of bright bulbs. Use blackout curtains to minimize light. If indoor lights are overwhelming, using sunshades can be helpful. Overstimulation of sound may include not being able to shut off background noises (such as someone having a conversation far away), which can influence concentration. Some noises can be perceived as excruciatingly loud and distracting. To help with noise overstimulation, shut any open doors or windows that may be allowing sound inside. Lower or turn off any music that may be distracting, or go somewhere more quiet. Minimize verbal directions and/or conversations. Having earplugs, headphones, and white noise may come in handy when noises seem too overwhelming. If you are trying to communicate with someone experiencing audio sensory overload, ask yes or no questions instead of open-ended questions. These are easier to respond to and can be answered with thumbs up/thumbs down. Tactile overload, which refers to the sensation of touch, can include being unable to handle to be touched or hugged. Many people with sensory processing issues are hypersensitive to touch, and being touched or thinking they are about to be touched can worsen the overload. Tactile sensitivity can include a sensitivity to clothing (preferring soft fabrics) or to touching certain textures or temperatures. Recognize what textures are pleasing and which ones are not. Make sure that any new clothing is sensory-friendly. If you are a caretaker or friend, listen when someone says touch hurts and/or pulls away. Acknowledge the pain and don't continue touching the person. When interacting with someone with tactile sensitivity, always alert them when you are about to touch them, and come from the front, never from behind. Refer to an occupational therapist for more sensory integration ideas. Some fragrances or stenches may be overwhelming, and unlike sight, you cannot shut your nose to disengage the sense. If smells are overwhelming, consider using unscented shampoos, detergents, and cleaning products. Remove as many unpleasant scents as possible from the environment. You could buy unscented products, or you may enjoy getting crafty and making your own unscented toothpaste, soaps, and detergent.
Summary:
Recognize the onset of overload. Reduce visual stimulation. Lower the noise level. Lessen tactile input. Regulate smells.
