SMART-1 Impact Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Like most of its lunar predecessors, SMART-1 will conclude its scientific observations of the Moon through a small impact on the lunar surface. This is planned to take place in the lunar Lake of Excellence, located at mid-southern latitudes on the Moon's near side. The impact will most likely occur on 3 September 2006 at 07:41 CEST (05:41 UT), or at 02:36 CEST (00:36 UT) on the previous orbit due to uncertainties in the detailed knowledge of the lunar topography. The exact time of impact may change by a few minutes.
If impacting on 3 Sept at 07:41 CEST, SMART-1 will touch the Moon at the lunar coordinates 36.44º South and 46.25º West. If impacting on 3 September at 02:36 CEST the lunar coordinates will be 36.4º South and 43.5º West.
1. What special manoeuvres did/do you have to perform up to impact?
If left on the course of its lunar orbit, SMART-1 would have naturally hit the Moon on 17 August 2006 on the lunar far side, not visible from Earth.
A two-week series of manoeuvres that started on 19 June and concluded on 2 July allowed SMART-1 to adjust its orbit to avoid intersecting with the Moon at a disadvantageous time from the scientific point of view, and to obtain a useful three-week mission 'extension'.
A further series of minor manoeuvres were performed on 27 and 28 July. Additional opportunities for minor trajectory adjustments will be available on 1 and 2 September 2006.
2. SMART-1 will hit the Moon on Sunday 3 September. Why that date in particular?
The choice of 3 September for lunar impact was led by the decision to obtain further high-resolution lunar data from orbit and to allow ground telescopes to see the impact from Earth. For this purpose, the spacecraft control team at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany performed a two-week series of manoeuvres started on 19 June and concluded on 2 July. These allowed SMART-1 to adjust its orbit to avoid having the spacecraft intersect with the Moon in mid-August on the lunar far side – a disadvantageous time and location from the scientific point of view. As mentioned, this also gave a useful three-week mission 'extension'.
On 3 September 2006 the SMART-1 perilune, coinciding with the point of impact, will be on the lunar near side (facing Earth), in an area called the 'Lake of Excellence', located at mid-southern latitudes. This area is very interesting from the scientific point of view - a volcanic plain area surrounded by highlands, but also characterised by ground mineral heterogeneities.
At the time of impact this area will be in the dark, just near the terminator – the line separating the lunar day-side from the night-side. The region will be shadowed from the Sun's direct rays, but it will be lit faintly by the light from the Earth – by earthshine. The spacecraft's orbit will take it over the region every five hours, getting one kilometre lower at each pass. From Earth, a Moon quarter will be visible at that time.
3. So, will the impact be visible from Earth?
The impact geometry on 3 September is ideal to allow ground observations. In fact, during full Moon the luminosity would have completely obscured the impact to ground observers, and during new Moon it would have been difficult as well, because new Moon is visible for only a few seconds after sunset. Furthermore, an impact in the dark will favour the detection of the impact flash.
Numerical simulations or laboratory experiments were run to help understand the impact and predict related observable phenomena - predictions are difficult because of the special conditions of the SMART-1 impact (low impact velocity - 2 kilometres per second - and very grazing incidence).
Amateur and professional astronomers were also called to observe the site before and during the impact. So far, the following institutes have responded to the call: the network of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and radio observatories, the South African Large Telescope (SALT), the Calar Alto observatory in Andalucia, Spain, the ESA Optical Ground Station (OGS) at Tenerife, Spain, the CEA Cariri observatory in Brazil, the Argentina National Telescope, the Florida Tech Robotic telescopes, US telescopes, NASA IRTF, Canada—France CFHT and Japanese Subaru Auxiliary telescopes on Hawaii, as well as a number of professional and amateur astronomy telescopes around the world, and the ODIN observatory from space.
The ground telescopes will also try to observe the dust ejected by the impact, hoping to follow the dynamics of the ejected material and to obtain physical and mineralogical data on the material excavated by the spacecraft. There is a possibility that at this grazing incidence the probe can bounce once. Then the spacecraft itself could emit as a small fireball before falling back.
The expected impact time (07:41 CEST) will be good for big telescopes in South and Northwest Americas and Hawaii and possibly Australia. But if SMART-1 hits a hill on its previous pass, around 02:37 CEST on 3 September, then it could be observed from the Canary Islands and South America. If SMART-1 hits a hill on the pass on 2 September at 21:33 CEST, then telescopes in Continental Europe and Africa would have the advantage.

4. How can you be sure you will hit the Moon on 3 September?
The time of impact has been determined by orbit predictions following the thruster manoeuvres performed from 19 June to 2 July 2006 (plus a few trajectory correction manoeuvres performed on 27 and 28 July), taking into account the Sun-Earth- Moon perturbations that make the SMART-1 orbit perilune (point of closest approach to the lunar surface) naturally drift down about one kilometre per orbit.
In the impact orbit determination, ESA's spacecraft control experts are also taking into account the tiny perturbations to the trajectory induced by the small hydrazine thrusters to offload the spacecraft reaction wheels, and some slight additional gravity perturbations. Furthermore, a slot is available for a corrective manoeuvre on 1 and 2 September 2006 if necessary, to maintain the impact time as planned to allow ground-based observations.
An uncertainty on the time of impact is however given by the still-not-completely-known lunar topography. The best lunar topography maps available are based on the data from the laser altimeter experiment (LIDAR) on board the US Clementine mission (1994), which provided the spacecraft altitude on a grid about every kilometre. The values in between have been interpolated assuming that no accidental peaks are in those areas.
However, there is still a chance that an unknown peak is just in SMART-1's way as the spacecraft spirals down until impact. This means that, if encountering a relief of about one kilometre high, SMART-1 may hit ground at 02:37 CEST (00:37 UT), when the spacecraft will be flying at about 800 metres altitude. This is one orbit earlier than the estimated 07:41 CEST (05:41 UT) impact on 3 September. In other words, for SMART-1 the last lunar approaches it will be like low-altitude flying with incomplete terrain maps. Hopefully SMART-1 and the next fleet of orbiters will contribute to improve maps for future lunar exploration.
5. Isn't it wasteful, to 'crash' an expensive piece of equipment, on purpose?
To break away from the Moon's gravity and go off into deep space would have meant cancelling the science programme entirely. In fact, by the time SMART-1 had settled in its orbit around the Moon, there was enough propellant left for an orbital boost, but not for an escape. The spacecraft was a 'true' prisoner of the Moon.
When a spacecraft orbits around the Moon, as SMART-1 does, it is doomed by the law of gravity. Tugs from the Sun, the Earth, and irregularities in the Moon itself, all disturb its orbit. Sooner or later, any lunar orbiter will impact the Moon surface unless it has very large amounts of fuel left to be re-boosted and escape the lunar gravity.
SMART-1 has already survived far longer than the SMART-1 team expected when the mission was initially planned. Its experimental ion engine, powered by the Sun, was very efficient. By the time SMART-1 had settled into its orbit around the Moon in March 2005, there was only 7 kilogrammes of propellant left – bottled xenon gas - of the 84 kilogrammes at launch. We used all the remaining xenon in Summer 2005 to re-boost the orbit and avoid an early impact originally due on September 2005. As a result, SMART-1 gained an extra year of operational life in its lunar orbit.
Once SMART-1 had consumed all of its xenon propellant, we could not boost the orbit again, in any big way. Left to itself, SMART-1 would have made its impact landing on 17 August 2006 on the far side of the Moon. Not very exciting for astronomers or people that wanted to watch the impact! So mission control decided to gain three more weeks of operations in a very clever way by using the hydrazine thrusters - small rockets usually operated just to re-orient the spacecraft – in combination with the reaction wheels. This lifted the orbit enough to move the impact site to the near side of the Moon, where observers on the Earth can see the event. This is now expected on 3 September with a current expected time at 5:41 UT (07:41 Central European Summer Time). But we call for observations over the previous passes (5 and 10 hours before), that are so close to the surface that a hill might just be in the way and cause an earlier impact.
6. Why didn't you send SMART-1 off into distant space? [see also previous question]
To break away from the Moon's gravity and go off into deep space would have meant cancelling the science programme entirely. In fact, by the time SMART-1 had settled in its orbit around the Moon, there was enough propellant left for an orbital boost but not for an escape from the Moon gravity field. The spacecraft was a 'true' prisoner of the Moon.
7. Some people may think that having SMART-1 hit the Moon on purpose is rash, perhaps dangerous. Is ESA considering any possible threat to the Earth?
There is no danger to our planet. SMART-1 is not big enough or fast enough to knock any rocks off the Moon which might be capable of reaching the Earth - at impact, the spacecraft vertical speed will be only 70 kilometres per hour, which is less than some ski jumpers achieve.
Just as SMART-1 already belongs to the Moon, and obeys lunar gravity, the same will be true for any material thrown up on impact. It cannot escape from the Moon.
8. But won't the impact of SMART-1 harm the Moon?
Nearly 50 years ago the Russian Luna-2 spacecraft was the first man-made object to hit the Moon. That was in 1959. Since then many other objects have done the same, and SMART-1's impact will be softer than that of any man-made impactor so far.
When it arrives at the Moon's surface, SMART-1 will be travelling at 2 kilometres per second. That is much slower than a natural meteoroid - for instance Leonid meteoroids arrive on the Moon at 70 kilometres per second, and note that their kinetic energy increases as the square of velocity! And the spacecraft will go in at a glancing angle – like a ski jumper. If we were unlucky SMART-1 might hit a steep hill at 7000 kilometres per hour, but what is more likely is that it will glide down over a flat part of the lunar surface, dropping 15 metres in the last kilometre of forward motion. At impact, its vertical speed will be only 70 kilometres per hour, which is less than some ski jumpers achieve.
Possibly SMART-1 will skid for a short distance after impact, throwing up dust ahead of it and spraying dust out on either side like the wings of a butterfly. The crater made by SMART-1 will be 3 to 10 metres wide and perhaps a metre deep. To put that in perspective, the Moon already has 100 000 craters that are more than 4 kilometres wide and every day several small meteoroids make craters as big as SMART-1's. So you would not notice much difference.
International rules protect other planets and their moons from possible contamination by spacecraft. The safety of any alien life, if it exists, is the main concern. ESA takes its legal responsibilities very seriously, and follows all current planetary protection rules, as established by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).
9. What about chemical contamination with materials from the Earth that do not belong on the Moon?
Every chemical element present on SMART-1 and in its instruments exists naturally on the Moon. For instance aluminium and iron are very common. Hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen are much scarcer, but they arrive naturally onto the lunar surface from the solar wind and from the impacts of icy fragments of comets, which contain many elements. From this point of view, one can think of SMART-1 as an artificial comet. Furthermore, the little hydrazine left in the SMART-1 thrusters will burn immediately at impact.
10. There will still be the wreckage of SMART-1, so is the beautiful Moon to become a junkyard of old spacecraft?
We should not think of it as junk. With its relatively low impact speed, SMART-1 should be much less fragmented than the dozens of other spacecraft that have hit the Moon. Damaged certainly, and with its solar panels torn off, the main part of SMART-1 may remain on the lunar surface as a monument to Europe's exploration of space.
11. Will scientists learn anything from the impact on the Moon?
The last SMART-1 observations before impact will provide new impressions of the lunar landscapes. As the impact will occur in a dark area of the Moon, we cannot expect to see very much by visible light during the final descent, but we are looking forward to late images from SMART-1's final moments. Mission control will be receiving signals right up to the impact, with the spacecraft antenna pointing towards the Earth.
During close lunar approaches, the camera will have oblique views of some areas that we have previously looked at only vertically, providing a sort of three-dimensional view of the surface. During the last orbits, the other instruments, including the D-CIXS X-ray telescope and the SIR infrared spectrometer, will have detailed views of some regions from very low altitudes.
Powerful telescopes on the Earth may see a faint flash from the impact itself, followed by a cloud of dust thrown up by the impact, perhaps 5 kilometres wide. The dust will obscure the view of part of the Moon's surface for 5 or 10 minutes. On a nominal impact on 3 September at 07:41 CEST, the impact angle will be one degree, that could generate some elongated ejecta structures, with 'butterfly wings' on the side.
The behaviour of the cloud will give valuable information about impact events in general, while the analysis of the light from the dust, with spectrographs in the telescopes, may detect materials dug up by the impact from just beneath the lunar surface. Astronomers have done this sort of thing before, when NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft hit Comet Tempel-1 in July 2005; that was a far more energetic event.
The observations will rely on the faint glow of earthshine – unless some of the dust cloud is thrown more than 20 kilometres above the lunar surface. In that case, it will be lit directly by sunlight and will appear far brighter for perhaps a few minutes. Amateur astronomers may be able to spot the sunlit dust cloud with their binoculars and small telescopes.
12. Whatever happens, the impact will be the end of your mission. What have you found out with SMART-1?
SMART stands for Small Mission for Advanced Research and Technology. The major technological demonstration was the first use of solar electric propulsion for interplanetary travels, in combination with gravity assist manoeuvres. Such a propulsion system will be used for ESA's BepiColombo mission going to the planet Mercury.
SMART-1 also tested future deep-space communication techniques for spacecraft, techniques to achieve autonomous spacecraft navigation, and miniaturised scientific instruments to examine the surface of other worlds in visible, infrared and X-ray light, used for the first time around the Moon. BepiColombo and other science or exploration spacecraft will carry similar instruments.
As for our investigation of the Moon itself, SMART-1 has mainly studied the past impacts that have created all those craters on the Moon. Having 16 months in close orbit instead of the 4 months initially planned, SMART-1's camera has built up a large library of images of craters large and small all over the Moon, not least around the poles where previous observations were patchy. The infrared instrument has measured changes in the spectra of the lunar soil, between different parts of impact craters, to reveal the composition of subsurface material bounces upwards in the centre, during the impact.
Lunar scientists suspect that the biggest impact of all was at the birth of the Moon from a huge collision between the newly formed Earth and a small planet, 4.5 thousand million years ago. The X-ray instrument on SMART-1 has gathered the best information available so far about the various elements present on the lunar surface. When the results are fully analysed they may support or challenge that theory of the Moon's origin. Although the observation phase of the mission will soon be over, scientists will be working on the results for years to come.
13. Is that the end of the story for European missions to the Moon?
Definitely not. In a year or two, India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft will go into orbit around the Moon, equipped with the same European infrared and X-ray instruments as carried on SMART-1.
The SMART-1 team and European experts are already collaborating with the teams preparing the next lunar missions in China, Japan, India and the United States. SMART-1 data can also help to select the sites for future landers, robotic villages and to prepare for the return of humans to the Moon .

According to Kamus Dewan, Physiotheraphy [sorry if this word spelling is wrong] is mean treatment to someone who get paralysis or nervous disorder [muscular] with exercise, massage, or with use light, heat et cetera.
Based on someone experience who got muscular swell, he went to a new private hospital for his health problem. A male Chinese doctor told him that his muscular problem will rebounded if he eat the medicine and get physiotheraphy treatment in three times, based on many rebound incident case. The doctor give medical appointment date to him for meet him again and for start get physiotheraphy. The male who got muscular swell be due to he lifting several antique goods which are so heavy cause he get muscular swell. After this he twist a part of water filter many times but still not succeed take the part and this cause his muscular torn. That man go again on appointment date to the hospital and get physiotheraphy treatment. A female physiotherapist , who is malay woman, nursed him with these techniques:
Firstly: massage his right hand which swell with a kind of medical hand cream. She also massage his right hand with other kind of medical hand cream with special machine which like hair dryer. The period for this treatment, may in 15-20 minutes.
Secondly: If he still remember, second method is she use a kind of machine which also look like a hair dryer but this machine not for massage but for knock the hand at sick part. The patient ask her about the logic of treatment with the knock-hand machine. She told that this knock-hand machine had purpose for transfer agony to the other part of the right hand which never sick so that reduce agony at those agony part. A male patient think that reason is not reasonable. Why? He think that the problem will not finish because other part of his body become sick too or the part of agony become bigger. So, he think that this machine has not logic or not reasonable. This is stupid or cheat technology or fool machine which has purpose for make patient still sick so that the patient come again to this physiotheraphy office so that the private hospital can get more many money!!! This what in his mind. The period for this stupid machine nursed his hand may in 15-20 minutes also. Pardon to him if what in his mind is not true.
Thirdly: One machine for massage with electron. This machine can massage the agony area at the same time. This is very fun. Very comfortable. This machine working in short period also. Oh not fun! Why not in long period??
The picture below show other method for massage with electron without machine [USE BATTERY POWER]:
These blue square massage the hand which get muscular swell when electron move through these blue square cause pressure.
LASTLY: She wrap the patient's hand with hot towel for 20 minutes. What purpose for it? For transfer agony also?? Oh no!?
After last treatment , physiotherapist give appointment card and one document which must bring it to the payment counter. This document contain information about what service he got from physiotherapist. The appointment card is not the date for meet a doctor but for get physiotherapy treatment again.
Although the patient feel he got a little rebounded but he felt he will not get fully rebounded such he felt everyday although he got again physiotherapy treatment in three times and buy & eat the medicine again [met the doctor again] because reason like these:
1= He need use right hand everyday . Although he attempt to avoid take any heavy goods or move in dangerous posture which might cause his hand will not rebounded but his hand still sick & sometime be more sick.
2= He cannot accept knock machine as one reasonable treatment
3= He know how to get other treatment that is he nursed himself by buy herb cream for massage. This herb can cause hot [so, this like hot towel which wrap his hand]. He can buy medicine at pharmacy which did not force him pay GST.
4= The cost for private hospital was so expensive. If he wants, he can go to government hospital and pay only RM1 for registration or payment for get various treatment at government hospital such medicine.
5= Several incident which happen at private hospital show a doctor & several physiotherapist are not honest, did not give true information. As several examples:
–> On the first appointment at physiotheraphy office, the physiotherapist said that only she works at this office and never exist any special home for that private hospital staff.
–> On the second appointment at physiotheraphy office, the other physiotherapist which her race is PUNJABI treat him but this Punjabi woman did not treat him in enough time such a malay woman [first physiotherapist who treat him on the first appointment]. The first woman treat in enough time. This Punjabi woman also cheat when she told that she is the first staff who works at physiotheraphy treatment centre, not that malay woman [first woman] who she said the malay woman already transfer to other city.
–> On the third appointment, a new worker [new physiotherapist who is malay woman] such what the Punjabi woman told to him treat himself but this new worker also did not honest because did not treat him in enough period. The Punjabi & the new worker also did not wrap his hand with hot towel.
–> On second appointment for meet the doctor, the doctor said that the patient will rebounded if get physiotheraphy treatment many times until rebounded. The doctor also said that he can inject the patient if the patient wants it this method [injection] only cause rebounded in one year or in several month and after that agony come again. At the first appointment for meet the doctor, the doctor value scanning such X-RAY and the doctor said that the patient's vein was crack , the muscular was crack based on what the doctor saw on X-RAY image. The doctor told that in many case, the crack part or crack cell cannot rebounded. Why must make your hand more crack with use knock machine? So that the doctor or private hospital can get more many money? This is something not honest action or advice which fool or not honest? Forgive him if whatever he treat is not true.
—> The Punjabi woman inform him that knock machine has function or useful such pain medicine. If this true, why doctor wants he take pain medicine??? Actually, the machine has function for make his hand more pain. This is what in his mind. Please forgive him if what in his mind is not true but he still sure that the machine has function for make his hand more pain so that it force him come again to the private hospital so that the private hospital can get more many money.
OHhhh if this still crack
like I went to older age so far
crying will not help?
Sadness also disappointing us?
What should I do baby?
impatient & impatient more
seek out the way again and again
till sun death?
till the full moon give me special calmness
that encourage special idea
till my life smile again
from my alone world at a quiet gorge
from my scream which eerie whole of you

text: Bayes Factors for ABX tests 2016-03-30 22:49:51 In the light of ASA statement of use of p-values I'd like to discuss some alternative statistical approaches to simple ABX tests.As we all know the frequentist approach to hypothesis testing calculates a p-value, that is we assume the null hypothesis (H0) to be true and calculate the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one observed, or more extreme.For X ~ B(n, p):H0: p = 0.5H1: p > 0.5P(X >= x | H0) Example for ABX test with 9/10 result: P(X >= 9 | p=0.5) = 0.0107 which is a p-value < 5% (a commonly chosen significance level) and therefore considered "statistically significant".The Bayesian approach uses Bayes' theorem to turn this around:P(H | data) = P(data | H) * P(H) / P(data) = P(data | H) * P(H) / ( P(data | H) * P(H) + P(data | ¬H) * P(¬H) )It is the basis of Bayesian hypothesis testing, which can be used to compare different models, for example M0 vs M1:M0: P(X = x | p=0.5)M1: 2 * ∫0.5^1 P(X = x | p) dpThen we pit the models against each other and get a Bayes Factor:BF01 = P(data | M0) / P(data | M1), with values >1 supporting M0BF10 = P(data | M1) / P(data | M0), with values >1 supporting M1Now we can answer the question: how well, relative to each other, do the hypotheses explain the data?I use log10(BF) so that negative evidence results can be read easier. The categories* I will use are:= 0: no support< 0.5: not worth more than a bare mention< 1: moderate< 1.5: strong< 2: very strong>= 2: decisiveHere are results for some common ABX trial counts including interpretation (according to Jeffreys 1961, Appendix B):10 trialsCorrect5678910P(x|M0)2.461E-012.051E-011.172E-014.395E-029.766E-039.766E-04P(x|M1)9.091E-021.319E-011.612E-011.759E-011.808E-011.817E-01log10(BF10)-0.432-0.1920.1390.6021.2672.270negativenegativebarelymoderatestrongdecisive12 trialsCorrect6789101112P(x|M0)2.256E-011.934E-011.208E-015.371E-021.611E-022.930E-032.441E-04P(x|M1)7.692E-021.091E-011.333E-011.467E-011.521E-011.536E-011.538E-01log10(BF10)-0.467-0.2480.0430.4370.9751.7202.799negativenegativebarelybarelymoderatevery strongdecisive14 trialsCorrect7891011121314P(x|M0)2.095E-011.833E-011.222E-016.110E-022.222E-025.554E-038.545E-046.104E-05P(x|M1)6.667E-029.285E-021.132E-011.254E-011.310E-011.328E-011.333E-011.333E-01log10(BF10)-0.497-0.295-0.0330.3120.7711.3792.1933.339negativenegativenegativebarelymoderatestrongdecisivedecisive16 trialsCorrect8910111213141516P(x|M0)1.964E-011.746E-011.222E-016.665E-022.777E-028.545E-031.831E-032.441E-041.526E-05P(x|M1)5.882E-028.064E-029.810E-021.092E-011.148E-011.169E-011.175E-011.176E-011.176E-01log10(BF10)-0.524-0.335-0.0950.2140.6161.1361.8072.6833.887negativenegativenegativebarelymoderatestrongvery strongdecisivedecisive20 trialsCorrect1011121314151617181920P(x|M0)1.762E-011.602E-011.201E-017.393E-023.696E-021.479E-024.621E-031.087E-031.812E-041.907E-059.537E-07P(x|M1)4.762E-026.364E-027.699E-028.623E-029.151E-029.397E-029.490E-029.517E-029.523E-029.524E-029.524E-02log10(BF10)-0.568-0.401-0.1930.0670.3940.8031.3131.9422.7213.6984.999negativenegativenegativebarelybarelymoderatestrongvery strongdecisivedecisivedecisive*) The above categories may seem somewhat arbitrary similar to significance levels. They are not needed however since we can just look at the odds directly:Posterior Odds = Bayes Factor * Prior OddsExample:We have two files which we have prior data on that tell us that about one in ten people can distinguish them.Prior Odds = 0.1 / (1 - 0.1) = 0.111...A person scores 9/10 in an ABX test, which gives us a Bayes Factor of 10^1.267 = 18.5.Posterior Odds = 2.056So the odds for this person doing better than chance (M1 over M0) are about 2:1.Let's say the person does another 9/10, so 18/20 in total for a Bayes Factor of 525.5, resulting in odds of about 58:1.Please consider that a high BF does not guarantee that a difference was heard. Again, we all know that various problems can creep into such a test that will make the results meaningless. For example, Evett (1991) has argued for a BF of at least 1000 against innocence in a criminal trial for forensic evidence alone. Also, even a BF of 1000 can still be too low to provide enough evidence for an extraordinary claim.My 2¢ on this is that we want to see strong evidence or better for simple ABX tests. (Whether to take results seriously depends on much more than just this single number however.) Especially with higher trial counts this turns out to be more demanding than a 5% significance level.edit1: graphs addededit2: tables updated, added odds and exampleedit3: fixed Bayes factor definitions Last Edit: 2017-10-08 18:00:18 by xnor

Job well done! Your dumplings look fantastic! I will definitely try them without eggs next time. Thanks for the tweak!
I so miss dumplings. These look really good. Do you know of a good substitute for the fine rice flour? Do you think sorghum would work? I can't eat rice either. I would love to have dumplings.ReplyDelete
I "adopted" you for November and made these!! Super yummy, thanks for sharing. Living Without Wheat: Adopt a Blogger - NovemberReplyDelete
Have you heard about Vietnamese Pho? It's a famous asian noodle. Found a product called Happy Pho by Star Anise FOods. It's High firbe and you can make it any way you want, have it in your cupboard and throw together a quick healthy meal with whatever found in your fridge: you can use it for Pho soup ( with the spice in it), pad thai, stir fry, salad, or as a side serving. Yum. I got mine off amazon. You should have a tryReplyDelete

Thank you for posting this. I was excited andReplyDelete
made this dumpling wrapper right away. But for some reason the wrappers kept on breaking. At 1st I used water to seal the edges and then gave up. There were a few that made it to the frying pan. It has a chewy texture compared to the wheat wrapper. I wonder if I did something wrong in the process...
Yum! Thanks for posting this---sometimes it's hard to find dumpling wrappers without egg. I linked to you from my Fat Free Vegan Gyoza recipe: http://www.mywholedeal.com/recipes/vegan-gyozas/ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for this!!!

I'm using Vista RTM. This is beta forum, but that's all i found in technet.
After I installed vista, i checked the "Windows Media Player"-toolbar in Taskbar->Toolbars.
Then I started Media Player 11 and in this setup he asked, if I wanted to use this feature. I clicked "Yes", but since this time the toolbar isn't working. Checking/unckecking the toolbar isn't possible. I tried to reinstall, but didn't find any seful exe and no sysoc.inf to enable uninstall. Can anyone help?
I fixed the problem by deleting the registry-key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer
and then starting Media Player again. Now it works.
P.S.: Could you change this site that I don't have to "Accept All Cookies" to login here? Happy new year.

Daily Slice: Sunshine Tavern, Portland, Oregon
A different slice profiled each day.
Daily Slice gives a quick snapshot each weekday of a different slice or pie that the folks at the Serious Eats empire have enjoyed lately.
Pizza for breakfast, in my mind, previously existed as a cold, foil-wrapped option to the ghetto power. After feeling positive vibes about this place from fellow SE'r Adam Lindsley, I decided to try a fresh take on the 'breakfast pizza' standby. Sunshine Tavern in southeast Portland offers two personal-sized pizzas on their weekend brunch menu topped with morning-friendly ingredients alongside some top-notch coffee in a relaxed, sun-drenched atmosphere.
The pizza had no name, but for our purposes here, let's refer to it as 'Breakfast Pizza' ($12). Although of a personal size, this pizza takes its inspiration more from a traditional flatbread than a Neapolitan-style pie. Toppings included Parmesan cheese, shallots, wild oregano, olive oil, and the kicker: two perfectly-cooked hen eggs. Tesa (a form of pancetta) was promised on the menu, but not delivered. The pizza was so good that I totally forgot about the lack of savory pork product. It arrived uncut with a pair of Fiskars. Sawing into that glistening yolk played to both my boyish nature for destruction and a nerdy culinary desire to take an active role in my meal.
What's New On Serious Eats
The Parmesan and wild oregano intensified and distinguished the typical grouping of breakfast-y elements. The oregano, in its savage state, could have been overbearing if used heavy-handedly. Here, a little restraint combined without eh muting effect of the oven char gave the herb the opportunity to quietly shine. The Parmesan gave a salty depth to the fatty egg yolk, and the olive oil rounded out the overall taste with a fruity richness. My only criticism here was a mild lack of salt, but a ramekin of sea salt and chile flake preceded the pizza. I appreciated getting some control over the seasoning, and the coarse salt contributed favorably to the textural dynamic of the pie.
The tight blistering on the crust (like on a high-end sourdough loaf) landed this pizza in food porn territory . The multiple shale-like layers, delicate and crispy, enrobed a slightly sour, chewy baguette-like interior. A smoky accent gave more depth to the intriguing flavor of this masterful cornicone. The undercarriage was dark, but with a hint of char. In addition to tasting awesome, the outer crust was a perfect vehicle for the leftover egg yolk which dotted the plate.
For me, the sign of a great pizza is my ability to eat beyond fullness, oblivious to the stress placed on my internal organs. The amount of Sunshine Tavern breakfast pizza consumed far exceeded my typical a.m. food limit. The beautiful pies being pulled from the compact Baker's Pride oven will inspire any food nerd and satisfy the soul. Sunshine Tavern's two egg breakfast pie easily falls into my top five Portland pizza experiences, and I look forward to the opportunity to try their nighttime offerings.

Bay Area home prices in December soared 32 percent from a year earlier, the biggest such increase in a quarter century.
The median sales price for houses and condominiums in the nine-county region last month reached $442,750, according to according to DataQuick, a real estate information service. A year earlier the Bay Area median had been $335,500.
December's median rose at the fastest year-over-year rate in all of DataQuick's statistics, which go back to 1988. The price also was the highest since August 2008, when it had been $447,000.
"Prices are in the midst of bouncing off bottom right now, and nobody really knows what the trajectory of this bounce will be beyond this point," said John Walsh, DataQuick president. "So far, supply has been a bottleneck, but as prices go up, more homes will be put up for sale."
He noted that mortgage lenders currently are "swamped," both by home buyers seeking new loans and by owners who wish to refinance.
"Rising home prices also mean higher appraisals, and tens of thousands of homeowners who couldn't refinance half a year ago, now can," Walsh said.
December sales numbered 7,832, a 7 percent increase from a year earlier and the 18th straight month in which sales have climbed year over year.
DataQuick analysts estimated that at least half the December price increase was due to a change in market mix. Sales shifted away from less expensive, distressed homes and toward mid-market and move-up properties.
Last month foreclosure resales and short sales together made up 34 percent of the market, compared to 52 percent a year earlier.
Absentee buyers, who are mostly investors, purchased nearly 26 percent of all Bay Area homes, the highest rate for data going back to January 1999. A year earlier they had purchased nearly 24 percent of the homes sold.

Westport's Martino, Lowe bring Premier League into America's living rooms
Recommended Video:
Welcome home, Kyle.
Last weekend, NBC Sports Group kicked off its three-year $250 million deal to bring the Premier League to the United States. The most important decision for its soccer executives was finding the right talent as the face of their broadcasts.
"We went out aggressively recruiting the right talent," said Jon Miller, NBC Sports' president of programming. "We want the best possible announcers, and the best presenters and communicators to bring the game to our audience. We want our coverage of the Premier League to be our signature property. It is every bit as important to us as our Olympic, NHL, and Sunday Night Football coverage."
Enter, the lone American on a pundit panel full of British-born broadcasting heavyweights -- Kyle Martino.
Martino, who played professionally in MLS in the 2000s for both the Columbus Crew and LA Galaxy, was the Gatorade Player of the Year in 1998 at Staples High School. He found equal success in the pro game, earning MLS Rookie of the Year honors in 1998 and eight caps for the US National Team before injuries derailed his career and forced him into early retirement.
Retirement brought with it new challenges, as Martino grappled once playing soccer was no longer an option. While reassessing his love of the game, Martino took a job on Wall Street and distanced himself from the sport.
He couldn't stay away however, and in 2010 channeled his knowledge and experience into broadcasting. Today, he is without question, one of the top American color commentators on television.
"For me, a kid who grew up in Westport, my career has given me two monumental memories," Martino said. "The first is playing with David Beckham at Giants Stadium, and the other is covering the Premier League for NBC Sports 10 miles from where I grew up, covering the league that made me fall in love with the game as a kid."
The rest of NBC Sports' new studio show "Premier League Live," boasts of a pair of ex-Premier League stars in Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle, and one of the best studio hosts in the business, Rebecca Lowe.
For Lowe, whose career broadcasting the Premier League has included stops at the BBC, ESPN UK, and Setanta Sports, swimming with the big boys is business as usual. And she loves every minute of it.
"Have I got the best job in the world or what?" said Lowe, before happily sharing her thoughts on Manchester United's opening day performance, Liverpool's uphill battle to return to the upper echelons of the league, and the implications of Arsenal's current transfer struggles.
Lowe, who moved to Westport with her husband (former Luton manager Paul Buckle) this summer, is the perfect person to lead NBC's rapid-fire schedule -- which includes Stamford-based NBC broadcasts of three games every Saturday, two every Sunday, and one on Mondays, with studio shows in between. All other Premier League games this season will be shown live on Extra Time, NBC Sports Group's suite of auxiliary channels free for those that already have NBCSN.
"It's a big, big deal," Lowe said. "I think what I've done before has helped me prepare for this because I've been so exposed to Premier League football for so long. Not only do I use all that knowledge, I need all that knowledge ¦ It's all a bit slower in England. Here its like wham bam, its so America, I love it."
Each of the pundits brings something special to the table. Earle and Mustoe bring top-flight English and International experience -- perspectives few Americans can offer. Earle, a goal-scoring midfielder for Wimbledon in his day, scored Jamaica's first ever World Cup goal in 1998 (his parents were Jamaican and he represented Jamaica internationally). As Mustoe, who spent 12 years playing for Middleborough from 1990-2002, says, it's all about bringing perspective of personal experience.
"To describe what it feels like to win at Old Trafford (home of Manchester United), what it feels like to get a bad injury in a big game, that's what I hope to be able to bring to viewers in this country," Mustoe said. "If we can provide some insight to not just make it entertaining, but to try to get the public to see some of the nuances we get excited about -- and it's not necessarily a goal -- that's what we get excited about."

We're Americans. Our eyes are, normally, bigger than our stomachs (and that's saying something). So when Netflix came streaming into our homes our "add to queue" frequency went up considerably.
Now that the queue is dozens of titles long, Netflix is ready to help. Soon, users can split those queues from one big household account into individual accounts within that household, according to Netflix's quarterly letter to investors.
The new feature is part of an embrace of social networking, and Facebook, specifically.
U.S. & World
According to AllThingsD, Netflix "sees social as an international user acquisition strategy and an opportunity to avoid disruption by a competitor that is more social." They've also moved their former chief of APIs over to handle social media planning.
Social engineering chief Mike Hart told FastCompany.com: "It's very nascent, as of a couple days ago. "We're entering a bunch of new markets, internationally. There will be less brand recognition, less word of mouth. So viral acquisition strategies have the potential to gain for us endless new markets."
The new features also address the multiple screens that users have. Netflix hopes to make it easier for someone to watch a title on their iPad while another person in the home can watch a different title on a television, for example.
Any way you cut it, that base $7.99/month price just has to go up, right?

Great-Grandmother Earns Degree with Great-GrandchildrenFriday, October 19th, 2012
An 83-year-old student demonstrated that age should never be a hindrance to higher education. Myrtle Butterfield of Canton is taking courses alongside her two great grandchildren, 65 years after graduating from high school.
"I went to the Office of Admissions with my granddaughter-in-law," Myrtle recalled. "I met (Admissions Counselor) Brandon Davock and when I walked out, I was enrolled in the Liberal Arts program."
Her great-grandson, Carter K. Cutway, was a Business Management student during the Spring 2012 Semester, and Myrtle's great-granddaughter, Jamie L. Butterfield, is in the Criminal Justice program. "Who else can say they went to College with their great-grandmother?" Cutway said.
"There's a lot of my family connected with this College," Myrtle said. "I watched both of my great-grandchildren grow up, and now I get to go to College with them."
Adjusting to college life did not come easy to Myrtle. "I almost quit during my first week," she recalled, "but the Accommodative Services Office has been amazing! Everyone is so supportive. What more can you ask for?"
During time at the college and after developing a new routine, Myrtle has developed a new love of learning. She's been on the President's list and inducted into two honor societies, and her GPA was in the top 10 percent of her class.
Myrtle often offers advice to her younger classmates. "I went straight from high school to marriage," Myrtle recalled. "We didn't have the resources then that we have today. I always regretted not coming to college, but work and family always came first. I tell all of the young, beautiful and wonderful students here not to waste this opportunity."
Myrtle has also discovered she has a talent for writing prose and poetry. She is scheduled to earn her associate degree in December 2012 and plans to work toward her four-year degree and continue writing.

Posted: June 14th, 2010
The Ghent commercial court finds that Ulti Med Products has infringed European patent 291 194 B2 for a specific analytical test device and an analytical method in which this test device is used. Ulti Med did not deny having commercialized the contested product ('D Dimer Test', but said that Iverness' rights were exhausted because the products had allegedly been placed on the market by Iverness or with its consent.
This defence was rejected by the court because there was not enough evidence of the alleged exhaustion. The court also rejected Ulti Med's argument that no damages were due for some of the infringing sales as a result of the five year time bar for infringement claims under Belgian patent law. According to the court, the fact that Iverness carried out a 'saisie' at Ulti Med, interrupted the statutory prescription term. An expert was appointed for the final calculation of the damages.

Graduation Success Rate of 88 percent highlights another stellar academic report
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State student-athletes continue to graduate well above their peers nationwide, earning record-setting academic performances, according to statistical information released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
The NCAA's annual study of institutions nationwide revealed that Penn State student-athletes at the University Park campus earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88 percent compared to the 80 percent average for all Division I institutions for students entering from 2002-03 through 2005-06. The 88 percent figure was third to Northwestern (97) and Illinois (89) among Big Ten Conference institutions
"Penn State student-athletes have long represented the best in intercollegiate sports, with high caliber team play and outstanding scholarship. This year, the NCAA Graduation Success Rate for Penn State student-athletes ranks among the very best in the nation; our football graduation rates are Penn State records and stellar achievements," said President Rodney Erickson. "This is a real credit to our student athletes, coaches and the staff members who support their academic success."
The Penn State football team broke its program record for the second consecutive year with a Graduation Success Rate of 91 percent, tied with Rutgers for the No. 7 graduation rate among all 120 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams.
The Nittany Lion basketball (92 percent) and Lady Lion basketball (100 percent) teams also earned Graduation Success Rates at least 15 percent higher than the national average.
The graduation data comes amidst a fall sports season that has five Penn State teams leading, or tied for the lead, in their respective Big Ten standings, with the women's soccer team having already clinched a 15th consecutive Big Ten Championship. Three teams are ranked in the Top 5 nationally: women's volleyball (No. 1), women's soccer (4) and field hockey (5).
This is the 22nd annual release of institutional graduation rates since national "right-to-know" legislation was passed in 1990. In 2005, the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance implemented the initial release of the team GSR data.
The GSR is the NCAA's more inclusive calculation of student-athlete academic success. The NCAA rate is more accurate than the federally mandated methodology because it includes incoming transfers and students enrolling in the spring semester who receive athletic aid and graduate, and deletes from the calculation student-athletes who leave an institution and were academically eligible to compete. The federal rate does neither.
In addition to releasing each institution's overall four-year Graduation Success Rate, the NCAA also released the federal graduation rates for students and student-athletes as it has for the past 22 years.
The four-year federal graduation rate average for University Park student-athletes was 78 percent, second to Northwestern (88) among Big Ten schools, and significantly above the 64 percent Division I average. The four-year average for University Park students was 85 percent, also far exceeding the 63 percent rate for all students nationwide.
Among the 2005-06 entering freshman class, 80 percent of Penn State student-athletes earned degrees within six years, the same as last year, and well above the 65 percent average for all Division I institutions. The graduation rate for all Penn State students was 87 percent in the entering class of 2005-06.
"We are extremely proud of the outstanding academic successes and graduation rates by Penn State student-athletes," said David Joyner, acting director of athletics. "The NCAA graduation data again reinforces Intercollegiate Athletics' mission of integrity, academics and winning championships."
The NCAA data revealed that student-athletes from five Penn State squads earned a Graduation Success Rate of 100 percent -- Lady Lion basketball, field hockey, softball, men's tennis and women's tennis – and 10 additional teams were at 90 percent or higher for a total of 15. Nineteen of Penn State's 25 teams (track/cross country teams combined) earned a Graduation Success Rate at or above the national GSR average of 80 percent.
Other highlights from the NCAA Graduation Rates Report:
-- Penn State African-American student-athletes earned a school record 90 percent Graduation
Success Rate, up from last year's record-tying 87 percent figure. The figure was second-highest among Big Ten institutions (Northwestern, 92) and 25 points higher than the national average (65 percent).
-- Penn State African-American student-athletes earned a 72 percent four-year federal graduation rate, 18 points higher than the national average (54), and second-highest among Big Ten institutions. Penn State's rate marked the 22nd consecutive year the Nittany Lions topped the Division I national average.
-- The Penn State Football (91 percent compared to 68 percent), Nittany Lion Basketball (92 percent to 68 percent) and Lady Lion Basketball (100 percent to 84 percent) teams all earned four-year Graduation Success Rates at least 15 points higher than the national average for their sport. Coach Patrick Chambers' Nittany Lions ranked second in the Big Ten with their 92 percent GSR score. Coach Coquese Washington's Lady Lions were tied for first in the Big Ten with their 100 percent GSR average.
-- The 2005-06 entering class for the Nittany Lion football team earned a record 93 percent graduation rate, which was No. 2 among Big Ten teams (Northwestern, 95 percent). The record 91 percent GSR figure for the Penn State football program also was second-highest to Northwestern among all Big Ten gridiron teams. Penn State football student-athletes earned a four-year federal graduation rate of 84 percent, second in the Big Ten and No. 5 among all FBS teams.

USAID Airlifts Medical Supplies, Emergency Equipment for Ebola ResponseAugust 25, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) airlifted more than 16 tons of medical supplies and emergency equipment to Monrovia, Liberia on August 24 as part of its ongoing efforts to combat the West Africa Ebola outbreak. The shipment came from USAID's warehouse in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and included 10,000 sets of personal protective equipment (PPE), two water treatment systems, two portable water tanks capable of storing 10,000 liters each, and 100 rolls of plastic sheeting, which can be used in the construction of Ebola treatment centers. The critical commodities will be distributed to affected areas throughout Liberia.
"We know that healthcare workers in Liberia and other affected countries are working at great personal risk to prevent, identify, and treat Ebola," said Jeremy Konyndyk, Director of USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance. "The U.S. is committed to working with the Liberian government, in close coordination with our international partners, to ensure that those working on the front line of this crisis get the medical supplies, training, and support needed to safely do their jobs."
USAID, the State Department, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Department of Defense (DOD) are assisting those countries and international organizations responding to the outbreak. Activities include the provision of health equipment and other emergency supplies, support for public health messaging and technical expertise.
In support of the affected countries, the United States has been engaged in fighting the West Africa Ebola outbreak since cases were first reported, and we have expanded our efforts and increased personnel in the region over the last several weeks in response to its growing severity. The U.S. Government is working on an urgent basis with the World Health Organization, the governments of the affected countries, and other partners like the UK, France, Germany, and Canada, to determine the greatest need and to deploy the most needed resources. We are also working closely with organizations such as the International Federation of the Red Cross, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, and others to step up efforts on the ground to contain the Ebola outbreak.
Konyndyk arrived in Monrovia on August 24 with Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to see the impact of the Ebola outbreak first-hand, assess response activities, and discuss disease prevention and treatment strategies with Liberian officials. USAID deployed a multi-agency Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) on August 5 to coordinate the U.S. Government's response efforts in West Africa. Since the outbreak was first reported in March 2014, USAID has committed more than $14.5 million to support the Ebola response.

UCI Issues Paris-Nice Statement
Courtesy UCI
The UCI has issued a release in response to the current situation pertaining to the Paris-Nice stage race scheduled for the middle of March. Paris-Nice is the first ASO (organizers of the Tour de France) event of the year, and the UCI and ASO continue to battle over who has control over which teams get invited to participate in events. The latest salvo is fired in response to a decision by the team association (AIGCP) to participate in Paris-Nice despite it being removed from the UCI international calendar.
The UCI wishes to react to comments made in recent days, in particular in the press, by Mr Eric Boyer, President of AIGCP (International Association of Professional Cycling Teams).
According to a press release issued by Mr Boyer on 27 February, all the teams had been consulted before a unanimous decision was reached to participate in the Paris-Nice. This decision was supposedly taken after a discussion of the conditions of their participation in the event.
After having consulted several team managers, the UCI notes that Mr Boyer's statements do not correspond to the actual situation: several teams were not consulted. It is thus false to assert that the teams unanimously decided to participate in the Paris-Nice.
The AIGCP met on 29 February. According to Mr Boyer, the teams agreed on the amendments to the contract between AIGCP and ASO concerning their participation in the Paris-Nice. This is not true either: not only did a restricted number of team managers attend the AIGCP meeting, but the majority of these declared that they were opposed to the contents of the press release of 27 February.
The truth is thus that the teams did not come out in favour of participation in the Paris-Nice irrespective of the conditions. In fact, several teams contacted UCI seeking to take part in the Paris-Nice under UCI regulations.
The UCI considers it necessary, urgent and legitimate to question Mr Boyer's hurry to have the teams sign a contract proposed by ASO, which denies them, as well as the riders, basic rights in respect of the organiser, to be replaced by obligations without reciprocation. Mr Boyer, however, does not seem concerned with respecting UCI regulations.
The UCI also notes that, following the agreement that it reached in Treviso with the presidents of the French, Italian, Spanish, Belgian and Luxembourg national federations, the Italian, Belgian and, this week, Spanish federations, have registered the events of the organisers RCS, Unipublic and ASO on the agreed calendars (Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-Sanremo, Giro d'Italia and Tour of Lombardy for Italy, the Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège for Belgium and the Vuelta a España for Spain). The only races that are still "rogue" events, without regulation, are those organised by ASO in France. It is only ASO that now intends to impose, through the intermediary of the President of the AIGCP, a contract on the teams - and as a result on the riders - who will no longer benefit from the protection offered by UCI regulations.
The UCI reminds riders that their participation in the Paris-Nice under these conditions could have several unfortunate consequences for them, in particular the lack of insurance in the event of an accident if the insurance companies refuse to cover a race held outside the regulations. This is just one example of the consequences. The participation of a rider in the Paris-Nice may also have regulatory consequences, including a possible suspension of up to six months.
The UCI reiterates its appeal to the teams and their riders to respect UCI regulations as set out in the contract they have signed. Those involved in cycling must be protected by a single set of regulations. Cycling must be governed by a structure that reconciles the interests of all and must not be subject to the diktats of the entity with the most financial influence.
The UCI demands that ASO should register its events, starting with the Paris-Nice, on the calendars agreed in Treviso in accordance with the commitment made by the President of the French Cycling Federation. The UCI wants the Paris-Nice to go ahead, but under the framework of UCI regulations.

Shootout in West Milwaukee caught on camera
A brazen daytime shootout in West Milwaukee was captured on video, and police are still trying to figure out exactly what happened.
It was just after 6 p.m. Wednesday at South 38th Street and Greenfield Avenue in West Milwaukee. A shootout erupted in the streets, and cameras mounted at the Elbow Room tavern captured it all.
"I just heard these gunshots outside. I said, 'Close the door. Stay inside,'" tavern owner Greg Pokomy said. "It was just real shock, you know, because there's little kids out here, and there's skateboarders in the alley and stuff like that, and it's just amazing nobody got hurt."
One man managed to get in a car and drive away. One of the shooters hopped from behind the wheel of the same car and ran the opposite direction on foot.
"Some people don't have any respect for human life, you know?" Pokomy said.
"I saw how this guy got hit, and he kind of ducked down by the bar," said a witness who did not want to be identified.
She called 911.
"I was ducking down at the same time, too, so what I did was I grabbed the license plates, and I called 911, and I gave it to them, and I described the guy to them, and they came right away," she said.
Police said only one person was injured. But neighbor Luis Pizarro said he saw a family out enjoying the weather just before it happened.
"Kids playing around and at the same location, shots were being -- someone had the nerve to shoot," Pizarro said.
West Milwaukee police said that several people of interest were taken into custody for questioning, but they were still urging anyone with information about this incident to call them.

The first FontShop Staff Picks of 2011 are up. Now that we've got our new blog rolling, I thought we could show off a few of our picks in more detail.
First up is Henrietta Samuels from Samuelstype. Like the aforementioned FF Mister K, Henrietta Samuels is full of extra ligatures and stylistic alternatives to help avoid identical forms of a single character, or combination thereof. (Notice the differing 'ra' ligatures above.) There's a certain quirky, imperfect decadence to the typeface that makes it unique. Exclusive to FontShop.

Reservation Wide, designed by Silas Dilworth of the TypeTrust, is an extended neo-grotesque face intended for headlines. Dilworth originally designed Reservation Wide for the Food Network, which uses the typeface (originally named Majestos) on its website and in on-air promos. Its terminals have a slight angle, keeping it open and approachable—one might even say appetizing. As an avid Food Network watcher, it has a place near and dear to my stomach.

Calluna from exljbris is a playful text face that comes fully loaded with all of your favorite OpenType features. Jos Buivenga happened upon the basic structure of Calluna while "fiddling around a bit with Museo". A fortunate accident, which you can read about in the specimen PDF. Also fortunate (which may be an understatement): you can download the Regular weight of Calluna for free. Once you're hooked, pick up the 8-style family pack.
