Yes!!! Sagura definately loves Chidori!!! He's just clueless on whole social behaviour thingy. ^__^ <gomen I just started watching FMPF>
I think someone meantioned this before, but at the end of FMP, Sagura takes Chidori to his "secret" place. SO I guess that for a guy to show any girl something that no one else knows about, is a sign of affection.

Well, we'll just have to wait for the 3rd season and see... if it ever comes out.. Clearly by the way it's set up, you're probably supposed to assume that Souske and Kaname will be together in the end, though that doesn't say that Tessa won't try to interfere. After all, she's got Souske tied to a leash (no pun intended); if things get too close between him and Kaname, she can recall him back.. but Tessa doesn't seem to be the type who'd abuse her power.

I think the reason why majority of us prefer chidori to be together is sagura is because of fumo guy episodes.
Fumo episode is all about sagara and chidori. Remember in ranma(Any1 who watched it)? Some people actually prefer Ranma to not be with the main cast girl in the first place(i read the comic, so its in chinese and i cant figure out an english name).
But because i see the main cast girl so much ,i rather she be with ranma in the end. But in the first place, i rather ranma be with that china girl. Some ranma fanweb prefer that cook to be with ranma too. But after seeing the main cast girl too much, i actually starts to prefer her.
But if u ask me, if all the episodes are tesse chidori and sagura in an all out equal fight... i will say chidori put down that fan, no guys want their gf to smack them all the time in public, though they dont get angry, it gets embrassing.
Tesse share military interest with sagura, in the long run, they might be military specialist(which tesse actually already is). Sagura will have so much fun with Tesse doing military stuffs and discussing it, bringing military to a higher level(like that bonta kun suit). And when they are old, they will be top military advisors.
Chidori do not care bout military stuffs, infact all she cares bout is getting good grades and maybe oneday, meet some guy she likes and become the average housewife. Place sagura with her and u will realize she will have a stressful life. She is already vexed that she has to clean up after sagura, that she actually wanted to give him up and go with her senpai during the funfair episode. If you place both of them together, they might be divorced some day. But as we know, sagura will be willing to change for chidori(love overcomes all) so it might not be what i said. But sagura should stick to military, its his life. He needs a girl who like military stuffs too, like tesse. Its not asif its drugs that is his life, he shouldnt change, neither should chidori.
Tesse is not only willing to clean up after sagura, she is willing to join sagura in making the school an exciting place for everyone. If sagura is a cook, first thing tesse will do is give up being the captain and be his assistant for the rest of her life. And the point is, tesse wont be stressed to do that, infact she finds it easy(love overcomes all). Try getting chidori to like military stuffs, sagura is going to be smacked by the fan alot. Try getting sagura to like school, hmm.....
I guess we r just biased for chidori because we keep seeing her with sagura, but being a guy who likes platinum hair girls(ok i am biased), i feel that tesse should be with sagura. As for chidori, she is better off with guys who are calm, steady and think before they act with muscles(she get into trouble alot). Two good stuffs that sagura has for chidori is his assurance of safety and he dont look at other girls(a plus for any woman out there). Sagura not only tries to protect, he actually did it with 100% assurance. chidori gets into trouble too much.

Anyway, i was going to say that Sousuke's gotta end up with Chidori, sure he's an absolute ####### (the rugby ep was ####### hilarious ) idiot socially but he's not going to be any better with Tessa and if anything, worse 'cause he only sees her as a superior officer, whereas he actually seems to react (to some extent) when it comes to Kaname, like in the Fumo Park ep in FMPF or the ep when Kaname said she hated him, he actually looked hurt. Besides, Kaname's got blue hair.

Twirly! Twirly~!!
I'm not sure if Sagara knows how to put how he feels for Kaname into words . . . while it is rather cliched, it's quite possible he doesn't know how to tell her. But then again, I could be wrong; all I've seen is the first 7 eps of season 1 and all of Fumoffu. But it is quite clear from the way how Sagara reacts in the theme park episode that he does have feelings for her. Otherwise, I don't think he'd react quite the way he did. And it's very obvious that Chidori likes him. She turned down the guy she went to the park with, especially after she saw Sagara (as Bonta-kun) running from the park security. I'm pretty sure Sagara loves her . . . he just needs to figure out how to tell her.

Answer is simple
Tessa is just a foil in the plot to wedge between Sagara and Chidori.
Tessa is Mutsumi from Love Hina. She is the rival you couldn't hate and is in every way superior to the leading female. The best romantic rivals are always superior (intelligent, rich, well-bred, etc). This way we can root for the underdog and it adds a touch more conflict.
To compare some simple points:
Mutsumi and Keitaro shared similar personality traits (clutsyness, scatter-brained).
Tessa and Sagara are both military-minded (although Sagara takes it to extremes)
Mutsumi professes her love for Keitaro openly. Naru doesn't.
Tessa professes her love for Sagara openly. Chidori doesn't.
Mutsumi was more feminine than Naru.
Tessa was more feminine than Chidori.
Mutsumi was super smart but physically weak.
The 'weakness' just increases the male protectiveness instinct, which increases her likelihood of being picked as a mate and I don't consider it a depriment at all.
The inevitable pair-up will be Sagara/Chidori (if Sagara can run fast enough so he'll be around for a 3rd series ^^).
Personally, I don't mind the way FMPF ended. It can end that way for good as far as I care.
Meh I think that's enuf

That was beautiful, man. Very very well written. I agree with you, i personally think tessa is a much better choice for sousuke than chidori. I mean, Sousuke and chidori being together is good for comical use, but would it really work in a relationship? As Zing said it would just cause less stress for everyone if he just learned to like Tessa. Personally i don't see why he likes chidori more than tessa. Seriously, i can not figure out a single reason that would make him prefer a violant, short- tempered girl that hits him a lot over a patient, cute girl that would not yell even if she were on fire. This is like, choosing sakura over hinata. Why the hell would you do that?

I agreee that Kaname challenges him much more. I've only been to episode 14, but I prefer Kaname to Tessa so far. Tessa is a little too much perfection for me. She lacks a dynamical nature and seems well, um stagnant maybe. By the way, how many eps are there total?

I just don't like Tessa. She seems somewhat self-centered and doesn't really take into account Sagara's emotions. Instead of moving a little more slowly which is more suited Sagara's personality when it comes to emotions, she grabs onto him like a leech. Making him highly uncomfortable.
I honestly don't think Tessa is more suited to him. She's his superior and I doubt he'll ever be able to see past that. Plus, I think all her coworkers would kill him before he could even start dating her. Chidori has physical stamina to keep up with him. He seems to enjoy her company more in FMP?F

Well just judging things from the Second Raid part. Sousuke was pulled away from Kaname by orders. Tessa sure let him have it when he was clearly thinking intently about Kaname most of the time. Plus he just walked away from Mithril after a while and the only thing that pulled him back together was Kaname kicking his ass. Looks like he needs her around for him to even get his military duties done.

And that is the novel not the anime version.
so the that means the relationships that are in the novel aren't quite the same compared to the anime version.
so pretty much whatever sagarra said in the novel isn't really what will happen in the anime.
that was your point right.

'Hunger Games' to Pull a Justin Bieber and Tour Malls
Back in the the '80s, all sorts of relevant pop cultural stuff would take place in malls. Like Tiffany, who promoted her (only) number one album back on 1987 by touring malls throughout North America.
Sure, pop stars like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez still do the occasional mall pop-in. But these days, malls are mostly just places where one can buy soggy pizza and soap that smells really good. That's all going to change on March 3rd, when the 'Hunger Games' movie takes a page out of Tiffany's (and Bieber's) playbook and embarks on promotional tour of America's malls in anticipation of the film's March 23rd premiere.
According to Lionsgate, which is producing the movie, the tour will give fans a chance to interact with the movie's stars, who will appear at the events.
Each stop will include a Q&A event where fans will have a chance to ask questions of their favorite cast members and participate in fun giveaways such as a chance to win a limited-edition Hunger Games HP Folio PC from the Microsoft Store or additional Hunger Games gear. Talent will be available for select press opportunities the morning of each tour stop," reads the press release.
Malls in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Minneapolis, Seattle and Atlanta will also be included on the tour, which ends March 10. Not every actor will be at every event — for example headline star Jennifer Lawrence will only be hitting LA, Miami, Minneapolis and Seattle — so make sure to check the schedule before heading out.

Boeing Employees' Photo Club
exhibit Opens Saturday, September 3
Visitor Center art gallery is a great place to begin your day at BTA, this
oasis of paintings or photography is just past the entry where a visitor pays
admission to enter the Arboretum, and there is a new exhibit to savor each
month. September's show opens Saturday, September 3, with a colorful range
of works by the Boeing Employees' Photography Club. In October impressive
botanical watercolors by Tucson artist and ethnobotanist Martha Ames Burgess
will be featured. Boeing Employees' Association of Photographers is a group
of Boeing-Mesa employees who share a common interest in photography. The club
started just a year ago with a handful of members who wanted to attract other
photographers of all interests, abilities and skill levels to share their
knowledge and experience. Today the club has 37 members, according to club
president Daryl Faust, and club members hold "monthly meetings where
homework assignments are given out, the previous month's homework is critiqued
and then we have a learning session. Our club also goes on regular photo outings
to many of the beautiful areas of our state."
Visitors are invited to meet the artists, see the exhibit and discuss photography techniques Sept. 10 during the Boeing Employees' photography club exhibit reception opening from 9-11 am. Works in the current exhibit run the gamut from the sandstone landscapes of Northern Arizona to a feather-crisp closeup of a lovely female hummingbird at a flower in our Demonstration Garden. Among the memorable images you'll find "Cactus Blossom," by Andreina Panetta.
"Photography allows me to capture a moment as an image that I can return to whenever I gaze upon it. This is similar to a melody or fragrance evoking memories. At the same time, I discover something I had not noticed before. In "Cactus Blossom", I rediscover textures - prickly, smooth, bumpy, rough, and bristle top. A delicate blossom emerges strong and robust. In this case, the sun had already set and the stars were as bright and visible as the city lights would allow. This is when I stumbled upon this cactus blossom. I felt I had discovered a treasure. I knew the flower would eventually die. I had to capture the moment. The darkness surrounding my treasure emphasized the beauty I saw in the cactus blossom. I grabbed my camera and started to capture moments."
Dan Lind, photographer of "Navajo Arch," explains that Arches National Park in Utah is "a Disneyland for the landscape photographer. It is a place full of strangely eroded arches and fins made out of various shades of red rock. The opportunities for brilliant lighting effects are many. In this photo, the morning sunlight is hitting the backside of the 'rock wall', and reflecting onto the far wall visible through the arch. For all my photographs, I hope to create images that the viewer then wants to visit and experience for themselves."
Club President Daryl Faust says he captured one of his all-time favorite images ("V is for View") by pure luck. "I was driving to another location in Sedona to shoot when I saw this opportunity. I pulled over, quickly set up the tripod, took the shot and got back in the car, never even shutting the car off. It turned out to be my favorite photo I took that day! I took up photography when I started showing photos I took on hikes and people really liked them. Other's appreciation of my photos pushes me to want to learn more and improve. My philosophy on photography is to capture a unique moment in time in a way most people may not normally have seen. "V is for View" is a very good representation of my style of photography."
And frequent Arboretum visitor Leslie Starks explains that "Mean Beak" is a slice-of-life depiction of the daily trials and tribulations of the creatures who inhabit BTA.
"While trying to photograph a butterfly feeding, Mr. mean hummingbird chased the butterfly away! He didn't even feed, he just didn't want the butterfly there. I had been doing 35mm photography, and was waiting for digital to catch up and become affordable. Mine is hobby-level photography, and for the thrill of capturing that "slice of time". Annual memberships at the Arboretum begin at $35, and include a year's access, guest passes for your friends and family, and many other benefits. The Boeing photographers' exhibit remains on display in the visitor center gallery until September 25 and may be seen daily during business hours from 8-5 (from September-through-May admission is taken from 8-4, and BTA closes promptly at 5 pm).

Fancy buying South Australian snapper for a Christmas barbecue, or casting a line for wild barramundi in Queensland, but worried about the pressure on fish stocks?
There's comfort in new data showing most fish in Australia are caught in sustainable numbers.
The first snapshot of Australia's wild fish populations, released on Tuesday, shows more than 90 per cent of the nation's catch is harvested sustainably from well-managed fisheries.
Less than two per cent comes from depleting or recovering stocks, while 3.5 per cent comes from overfished species.
Federal Fisheries Minister Joe Ludwig said fishing was a big part of Australian culture and a key industry for coastal towns and communities.
"Consumers can be confident that locally caught seafood comes from fisheries that effectively manage the sustainability of the wild fish stock," he said at the launch of reports on the status of key Australian fish stocks in Mackay, Queensland.
The reports form a "fantastic information base" for governments, fishers, consumers and researchers wanting to compare the status of the key wild-caught fish stocks around Australia, the minister said.
It's the first time Australia's wild fish stocks have been studied, using a single reporting method, from the tropical north to the temperate south and the high seas.
Prepared by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) in collaboration with more than 80 leading fisheries researchers, the reports aren't supposed to act as a guide for "eco-labelling" seafood products.
The aim is to address a growing awareness among Australians of the need to conserve fish stocks and maintain biodiversity in marine ecosystems.
Seafood consumption is on the rise, and preferences are changing and diversifying, the reports found.
Mr Ludwig said seafood favourites like banana prawns, blue grenadier, flathead and eastern school whiting were being managed to ensure the stocks remained for future generations.
But school sharks were low in number and still being overfished across commonwealth waters, while southern bluefin tuna stocks were under threat.
Depleting snapper populations in two South Australian fisheries and bigeye tuna in the Pacific Ocean were also under too much pressure.
But 98 of the 150 fish stocks assessed were classified as "sustainable", with eight in recovery, three depleting and just two overfished.
Thirty-nine were classified as "undefined" due to a lack of data.
The reports also display key numbers on catch trends, fishing methods and the effects of fishing on the marine environment.

In the decade and a half during which we've been allaying global-style crises, we've employed circular beds on just three occasions. The first was for a French client whose apartment we tackled some 12 years past. A Parisian deejay, our chap demanded a circular nest (an allusion, perhaps, to the discs he spun for a living?) and insisted we dress it with acres of velvet and a bedside fridge to chill champagne, a libation he enjoyed at least three times per day. Finding a round bed, however, proved tricky and in the end, we custom-manufactured a disc-shaped divan at an astronomical cost: approximately $5,000, if our memory serves us correctly.
The second occasion we went round in circles — literally — was much more recently, while tackling a Mississauga bedroom for a teenage Goth, a wiry kid with predilections for all things monochrome.
By that time, fortunately, Ikea stocked round beds (alas, no more) and we dressed ours with acres of black and white linen to create a designer look that'll shine even if our client finally dispatches her affection for Marilyn Manson.
It's a funny old thing, taste — in the late '90s, a round bed seemed, to us, the last word in "niche" but we jogged on, regardless, to satisfy our hard-to-please French paymaster. These days, however, as interior design becomes ever more eclectic, it seems anything goes.
Which brings us neatly to the concluding part in our round bed trilogy: cue spunky Canadian Rob, a bloke with a serious penchant for retro.
A surfer dude, playboy and full-time good guy, he aspired to a new look that would befit his image; late 20s and ready to rock 'n' roll. So why then, you're probably asking, did his bedroom have all the appeal of a maximum-security twilight home? Well, simply because he'd "inherited" the whole kit and caboodle (round bed included) from his folks, young-at-heart empty nesters who had made the decision to move — for at least part of each year — to Florida.
Rob, while delighted to "inherit" his parents' home, also had inherited the dizzying prospect of removing the gloom and adding some much-needed va-va-voom.
His parents' only provisos were that the living areas should be redesigned with restrained elegance and that the kitchen should be rebranded with functional modern notes at its root.
As far as Rob's bedroom was concerned, he could do, of course, whatever he wanted; it was his domain and his folks were free enough in their thinking to let him have fun. Which is where we came in.
Sitting on Rob's parents' boat (sadly, not while sailing though the Floridian glades, but perched, instead, on its dry-docked bow in the garden, pre-transportation) we concocted a plan. We liked Rob from the moment we met and instantly committed to helping him update his shockingly dowdy home.
Jumping to land from the erstwhile dry dock, we headed indoors to steer our plan. In hindsight, we imagine Rob may have expected us to transport the entire contents of his home into the dumpster sitting beside the boat but, if anything can be saved, we'll always do so, a practice that allows budget to be stretched elsewhere.
We're sure Rob winced as we mooted the prospect of remodelling the disc-shaped divan, but we assured him we would afford it a new lease on life with more than a touch of the swinging '60s — an era that Rob, by his own account, adores.
To set our plans in motion, we prepared to fly the scene. "Get rid of everything," we purred as we dashed for the door, "except the drawers under the window, the night stands and that crazy bed. Clear the room, sweetie, we'll be back in a week."
And with that, we were gone, off to flex our designer muscle while evoking the spirit of Austin Powers.
If you have a room that's at odds with everything you stand for, we recommend doing nothing, in remedial terms, until you know exactly what you'd like to achieve. We were lucky enough that Rob happily sanctioned pretty much everything we had in mind.
His buzzword was funky, so that's the path we followed. Here's the lowdown on our simple transformation.
Gut down
With the exception of the items we'd asked him to save, Rob dispatched everything to either the dumpster or the local charity store. If possible, leave a couple of days' space between this stage and subsequent work; it makes sense to analyze rooms when they're entirely empty and it's also good to play with templates to get the feel of how new furniture should be positioned.
Paint colour, accent wall
Our beloved white — perhaps the easiest colour with which to re-identify space. Be warned though; using too much white can result in flat, emotionless esthetics. Rather than leave all walls with a painted finish, we added brick-effect lay-on panelling, a product that can be easily sourced from most DIY sheds. Installed — and painted white — it adds a utilitarian feel that's redolent of the whole '60s vibe.
To elicit a mid-century retro mood, we considered repainting the existing floorboards but, sadly, their condition was such that this wouldn't have been good practice. Linoleum was popular during this period so we opted for Amtico, an updated version of lino and, after screeding the floor to ensure a perfectly flat finish, installed concrete grey product as an easy-care solution.
We've specified Hunter Douglas Luminettes on countless occasions. We like the slick finish and the way in which the drapery folds into perfectly smooth regimented concertina-type lines. Working, again, with our theory that white schemes need extra texture to bring them alive, Luminettes are a perfect solution. Hunter Douglas offers a wonderful measure-and-fit service and, while not inexpensive, is our favourite drapery supplier.
Because environmental issues are important to Rob, we happily agreed to reuse the round bed, although we had to have circular covers manufactured to problem solve a distinct lack of round bedding in the marketplace. A hoop-shaped canopy crafted from pliable pine (attached to the ceiling with chain) gave us a "floating" surface upon which to attach a string curtain, a product that's currently discounted to around $55 per panel, via our resource list supplier.
Once again, texture was our modus operandi. A little shag does no harm (we smirk like naughty boys when saying this as we don't really use the word in Britain when referring to carpet) and, this in mind, agreed that our Amtico should be complemented by something softer. Our solution was roll stock shag, which we specified in an organic green tone and, after it had been "whipped and bound" into a circular rug, it made the perfect island for Rob's new love nest.
The mid-century modern dresser that previously sat below Rob's window was thoroughly updated as part of our design. But don't panic; while you might consider us heathens to have done this, it wasn't a top-end piece by the likes of Knoll, rather a mass-produced item which you could easily find in a charity store for around 50 bucks.

Time and time again, there are discussions on campus and in the press about the need for and importance of mentors. Sure, students can use the career center and all the wonderful resources, services, and programs at their disposal. Many offices provide informational interview, job shadowing, and employers-in-residence options. More recently, broad-based mentoring programs have begun to spring up at colleges and universities, providing industry-specific career advice and shepherding through a job search and/or onboarding by way of a student's ongoing relationship with an alumnus or professional from a particular field of interest. Both students and mentors tend to report that the relationships are beneficial and rewarding when all things click and both parties are committed to the relationship. The arrival of all of these niche and large-scale mentor programs has caused me to reflect on my own professional experience with mentors and as a mentor myself. I have certainly benefitted greatly, both early in my career and as a career center leader today, from experienced career services professionals in my sphere of influence, circle of friends, pyramid scheme, or what have you. And I am not ashamed to call them out.
My first mentors were at the University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP), when I was a mere babe in the woods, aka graduate intern. UMCP Career Center staffers like Linda Gast, Becky Weir, Linda Lenoir, and Cheryl Hiller helped me develop my personal framework of career counseling, provided me wonderful opportunities for growth and to contribute to a department, and encouraged me to stay in the field for the long haul. In my first full-time role at Suffolk County Community College, the ever optimistic and genuine Sylvia Camacho showed me how to run a flat office structure to great effect. Let's not forget my boss of 13 years at NYU, my "Chief," Trudy Steinfeld, who saw to it that I understood the Game of Thrones—I mean the politics that can occur in higher ed— modeled the fine art of schmoozing for me, and even rented me an apartment for a time. She is still someone I turn to in times of confusion or the need for advice. Her tag- team partner, Manny Contomanolis, has illuminated for me how best to manage up, has introduced me to the subtler ways and maneuvers of a director, and has always reminded me to stay true to who I am. I even have my very own support group or posse of peer directors who I can always count on for feedback and good humor. Presnell, Fredo, Nate, Lisa, and Jason all know who they are, or at least I hope so!
Having learned so much and come so far in part thanks to the presence of mentors in my professional life, when the chance came to serve as a NACE mentor, I seized the day, leaping up on my desk ala Dead Poets Society. (Sorry, I am known to be a bit theatrical.) I am currently in my fourth year of the NACE Mentor Program, and it has been a rich and rewarding experience for me. It has offered me a chance to meet both aspiring and seasoned professionals locally and throughout the country. I have connected with career services directors from large state colleges, small niche and liberal arts schools, faith-based institutions, and proprietary shops. While I hope my mentees feel that they have gained from our year-long relationships, I know that I have learned a great deal about challenges faced on different campuses, in different locations, and with different student populations. The questions I am asked and perspectives I get to share help me reflect on my own past experiences and my current work more frequently than I might normally spend time doing. I am occasionally stumped too. Certainly, not every aspect of our business is in my wheelhouse, but I try my best to offer what insights I can from my 20 years in the field and point in the direction of helpful resources if I am at a loss. Wait, that sounds like something a career counselor might do. Funny!
What I like most about the NACE Mentor Program is that there are many colleagues out there who may not have had the luck I did in having mentors through situational and natural circumstances. And every professional can use input, feedback , or someone to vent to at some level. The NACE Mentor Program helps make that happen, and I am proud to be a part of it.
On Thursday, Maia Hanron-Sanford, director of career services at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont and one of Marc's mentees, blogs about her experience. Read her blog.
Become a mentor! Information on the Mentor Program is available.

Post subject: waterless cookware
I have the Saladmaster stuff that was handed down to me and am just learning to cook the right way on it. I think it's great! I'll say my grandmother who is 91 is as clear-headed as anyone I know is the one who handed my set down to me. I believe that the aluminum in the pans really does cause problems. It's just that it takes a lifetime to show up and so the lab tests don't show it. By the way they do have to take Teflon off the market by 2015, so the tests have shown something. I'm sold on the waterless cookware--except I haven't figured out how to scramble eggs without the non-stick coating yet. Any advice?

Hi there,
Can someone explain to me--in lay terms (I didn't do so well in science in school!)--why teflon pans don't heat up on induction burners? Everytime I put a teflon pan on an induction burner, the burner turns off. It's a great mystery to me!

Your teflon pan is most likely made out of aluminum. Induction cooktops work only on cookware that is affected by a magenetic field. An easy test to see if you cookware will work on an induction cooktop is to take a magnet (like a refrigerator magnet) and see if it will stick to the bottom. High quality stainless steel clad aluminum (such as All-Clad but not Farberware or Calphalon's new line of cladware) and cast iron are your most likely candidates.

Post subject: Cooking with Saladmaster
For the eggs, the key is keeping the heat around medium and making sure the pan is warm before you put the eggs in (drop in a drop of water and if the water rolls around its hot). You can cook without adding anything to the pan, but if you want to make it easier, a little bit of butter makes the pan totally nonstick. We have had Saladmaster for a few months and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to try and eat healthier. It is very high quality cookware and will last a lifetime. However, if you aren't going to buy into the lower heat waterless concept (which preserves vitamins and minerals) you are simply buying good cookware. The idea is to actually buy into the concept of how to cook for better health.

Post subject: Re: Aluminum Toxicity
slightly off-topic, I'm guilty of continuing it, but I didn't initiate it here . . . .
TruthFinder wrote:
on Jan 6, 2006--Aluminum toxicity is a recognized medical condition
. . . .. Aluminum is also a component of so- called silver amalgam dental fillings. Composite (white) fillings do not contain aluminum (or mercury, for that matter.) . . . .
Well, what can I say. I am a Prosthodontist. I am an anal, and ultra-compulsive dental bioengineer. A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has spent three years in an accredited program after four years of dental school studying the restoration and replacement of teeth, the construction of fixed and removable tooth and implant supported prostheses, cosmetic dentistry, and is an expert in dental biomaterials. The earliest silver amalgam was made in the early 1800's, but the most similar predecessor of modern silver amalgam was invented in 1895 by GV Black--and this was the basis for all modern amalgams. The most modern/currently used silver amalgams, produced by numerous manufacturers (let's say after the mid 1970's) is a eutectic alloy of silver, tin, copper, palladium, indium and mercury. A eutectic alloy is a mixture of substances in fixed proportions that melts and solidifies at a single temperature that is lower than the melting points of the separate constituents, or of any other mixture of them. To my very best knowledge, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY ALUMINUM IN ANY DENTAL/SILVER AMALGAM. If however you have real information, such as a product insert (always supplied) which contains the exact ingredients accompanying the specific brand of amalgam you are referring to, NOT something cut and pasted from some ridiculous website, then I am interested in the reference. If not, what I say here is the total fact on that matter. Can you tell this is a sore point with me?
Next, while resin composite fillings (tooth colored composites) do not have mercury which many people are so unnecessarily concerned about especially since the advent of high copper and palladium containing alloys in the mid 1970's, let me be the first to inform the wholistic lovers of composites that the epoxide resin component of the composite contains compounds very similar to/congeners of estrogens. About 10-15 years ago this was brought to light, but no one wanted to hear this because everyone wanted tooth colored fillings. SO . . . all you people who want really fine dentistry, you have two main choices--gold or porcelain. The finest material to use in small cavities would be compacted gold foil, followed by cast gold inlays for most situations and then gold or porcelain fused to gold crowns, which are the benchmark ("gold standard") by which all other materials are judged. While porcelain and other ceramic tooth colored materials look natural, they tend to wear down the opposing teeth faster than another tooth or gold chewing against it. Furthermore, all-ceramic/non-metallic restorations generally need to be cemented/"bonded" by a resin composite cement or else they break. So, you can't totally avoid the composite here either, and it doesn't seem to be a problem either, although you can minimize it's surface exposure by using the material as a cement, rather than the bulk restorative material. Now that you know that nothing is perfect, you can sit down and try to decide where the real dangers (if any) really are and what you would like in your own mouth. You will get more mercury from eating large fish--at the top of the food chain, because heavy metals tend to be cumulative in tissues--than from silver amalgam fillings.
I'm sorry about the tirade, but there is so much bad information out there that I am bombarded with on a daily basis that I had to set this part straight, hopefully falling on intelligent ears.
As far as the "purity" of the special cookware mentioned by a guest on Jan 24. 2006, that is "purer" than 18/10 in cheaper pots and pans that a guest poster was concerned would leach nickel, let me say that cookware and flatware comes in 18/8, 18/10 and rarely 18/12--the best. The first number is the amount of chromium that is contained in the stainless, i.e., 18 is 18% chromium. The second number is the amount of nickel, i.e., 8 stands for 8% nickel. So 18/8 means that this stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 18/10 is 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The higher the numbers the more corrosion resistant the material. 18/0 is a misleading designation. Both 18/8 and 18/10 contain nickel and are part of the grade family "300 series" stainless. 18/0 means that there is 18% chromium but zero nickel. When there is no nickel the stainless grade family is the "400 series". 400 series are not as corrosion resistant as the 300 series and are magnetic, where the 300 series are non-magnetic. Therefore the more expensive/better/shinier stainless steel alloys have MORE nickel. Those alloys with more nickel are more corrosion resistant and have a brighter shine/luster. Regarding the term "purity", if the cookware the guy was selling was 100.000% pure lead, it would be very pure, but I wouldn't want to eat from it. Using the word "purity" is VERY misleading.
Regarding Micheal Chu's comments on June 7, 2006 on induction cookware, as he stated, the cookware must be affected by magnetic fields to heat up. Therefore, they (the All-Clad and others) must be 400 series stainless steels OR be 300 series and have a different magnetically inductive meterial in the base of their cookware. Maybe that information is a proprietary secret. It's a pity you can't use tinned copper--generally recognized as the best cookware on an induction stovetop.
The aluminum in cookware is another discussion, and I don't want to get into here, but I will say aluminum as a cause of Alzheimer's Disease is very controversial and definitely NOT proven. Some researchers believe the aluminum is a CAUSE, while others feel the accumulation of aluminum is the RESULT of the disease. Since we are on the topic of metals and Alzheimer's, zinc is another metal being looked at as a cause. Try doing some research in the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. The verdict is definitely NOT IN on aluminum, in fact there are many other suspected causes which have more evidence than aluminum.
Since concern about aluminum in antacids was mentioned in another post, here is a list of aluminum containing antacids:
Di-Gel liquid
Gaviscon tablets
Gelusil liquid
Gelusil tablets
Extra strength Maalox
Mylanta & Mylanta Double Strength liquid & tablets
Tempo Soft Antacid
These antacids are Aluminum-free antacids:
Di-Gel tablets
Maalox caplets
Mylanta gelcaps
Rolaids tablets
Tums E-X
Thank you, and have a nice day!

The statement by nurmich (April 21, 2006) is not correct. Teflon will be here.
Teflon PTFE and e-PTFE ---- expanded PTFE (Gore-Tex) saves lives. The cooking counterpart is OK too. e-PTFE (Gore-Tex) is used in surgery in several medical fields. There are many different configurations of Gore-Tex used in surgery. Google it. It is notably used in cardiovascular surgery for heart and great vessel grafts and repairs and in oral surgery bone grafting procedures. What is to be eliminated is the Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) from factory emissions and finished products by 2015.
If you don't like Teflon, you can always use SwissDiamond non-stick cookware. It is not a teflon product. It is VERY good but fairly expensive. I like it a lot.

Post subject: Cooking with Gas
I thoroughly enjoyed the article and all the comments, however I haven't seen any address the appropriateness of the heat source to the cooking material. We have natural gas and some of the clad cookware is separating. (We're using Macy's Tools of the Trade Grand Prix, about 20-25 years old) For replacing it, I've seen some cookware with maximum temperatures posted, yet the fire itself is hot, even at low temps. Granted, I don't expect to be cooking for another 25 years, but I don't want to keep buying cookware either. From the post's I've decided stainless clad aluminum or anodized would be best, but how would the temp or gas affect the wear?

My Husband just purchased - Pyrex Non-Stick Cookie sheets.
I do not want to use ' Teflon ' - nor is the word used anywhere on the labeling.
Iwould like to know what is used on these sheets and why the Canadian Government allows the product to be sold without clear definition.
Can anyone provide knowledge on this substance?

Post subject: cuisnart/all clad comparison
I am searching for a comparison of performance between the all clad line and the cuisnart tri-ply 18/10 stainless cookware. It appears on initial comparison that the construction is essentially the same. The all clad is significantly more expensive, however, making me wonder what the inherent differences may be in specifications and performance. Can anyone provide comparative feedback?

There might be some minor difference in performance that could be detected if Julia Child rose from the dead and cooked with them side-by-side, but there is not that much difference in most quality tri-ply cookware. Where there IS a difference is in Cuisinart's approach to marketing. They often change the design and specs of their cookware to update the fashion appeal of their lines, and when they do, you're not able to get the former version for very long. This makes a warranty less meaningful than most of us would like it to be. Let's say that five years from now, you have trouble with a Cuisinart skillet. You got a "limited lifetime warranty" with it, so you're fine, right? Well, maybe not, because if Cuisinart has discontinued your cookware in favour of something else that has become fashionable, there may be no replacement stock with which to honour your warranty claim. You'll get an offer to replace with a "comparable" piece, or you'll get some other offer. What you won't get is a new piece just like the old one. Cuisinarts is in the process of phasing out its "Everyday" cookware, the classic copper-stainless sandwich construction, probably due to the rising cost of copper. All Cuisinart lines now feature aluminium in the sandwich. If you valued the copper sandwich enough to pay well for it, would you be happy with an aluminium-sandwich piece to replace it under warranty?
All-Clad is also not a very consumer-friendly company, from what I've heard from friends still in the biz (I was in the kitchenwares business for six years), and the stuff costs what a mortgage payment used to. If you would like to save a lot of money over the price of All-Clad, and get essentially the same quality and performance, I would suggest you take a look at Tramontina's Tri-Ply line. It's so close to All-Clad you can hardly tell the difference in some pieces. Tramontina is a Brazilian company that now makes cookware in the United States (they bought the old Mirro plant in Manitowoc, WI for the purpose- nice to see a foreign company bring jobs HERE for a change, eh?), and in China.
If you want to see some Tramontina Tri-Ply, with pricing, go to:
You should be aware that Tramontina, like a lot of other companies, makes several lines of cookware, with Tri-Ply being their highest quality. Be absolutely certain that any Tramontina you buy is Tri-Ply, not one of their lesser lines like Sterling. Be especially careful on eBay; some ignorant sellers (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here) describe all Tramontina as tr-ply, because of the three-layer sandwich on the bottom of the cheaper lines. ONLY the Tri-Ply line has the same straight-gauge construction as All-Clad, with a layer of aluminium between two layers of stainless, that goes all the way up the sides of every piece.
Good luck!

Post subject: A couple of things to keep in mind
Remember that different kinds of cooking require different characteristics. There's no one perfect material.
For sauteeing and especially for delicate sauces that require control, nothing is better than copper, for its fast response.
But fast response is a problem for other things. If you want to deeply brown or blacken a large piece of meat, you want heat retention. The best material is probably heavy cast iron, with its high density and high specific heat. The pan will maintain high temperatures even after the room temperature food is thrown onto it. Heavy, slow response materials like enameled cast iron also work especially well for slow simmering (I don't fully understand the physics behind this, but a couple of big batches of stew or soup in a dutch oven will sell you on these qualities).
A minor issue with copper is its poor ability to keep food warm. That fast response means your sauce will cool rapidly as soon as the fire goes out. If you use copper sauce pans (lucky you if you do) it's worthwhile to adopt professional techniques like a bain marie (water bath) to hold the food at temperature, if you can't serve immediately.
Heavy aluminum cookware comes somewhere in the middle and is a good general purpose solution.
Surface material is also worth strong consideration. Like most cooks, I'm starting to prefer stainless steel interiors for most pans. It does almost everything well, and its bright color makes it easy to judge the state of carmelization (technically the Maillard reaction) of pan juices. Very important in any kind of sauteeing and roasting. Clad metal comes to the resucue: 18-10 stainless lined copper or aluminum.
I like my anodized aluminum pans, too, but the surface is definitely harder to use, and ultimately doesn't hold up as well.
If you cook a lot of eggs, you should have at least one non-stick pan. Get a cheap one. They don't stay nonstick very long. Even the ones warranted forever are only warranted to keep the surface intact ... they say nothing about how well it will actually work.
Naturally nonstick surfaces like seasoned spun steel or cast iron work great for things like fish, but beware of using for omlettes ... your breakfast will taste like fish, fried dumplings, or whatever else you cooked in there last night.
If you choose clad or laminated aluminum, keep in mind that pans vary greatly in overall thickness and thermal mass. Pans that look the same will have very different cooking characteristics. There isn't always a right answer as to what's better ... what you cook, how you cook, and what you're used to will play into this. Best to borrow some pans before investing.
And don't buy a set. False economy. Get what you need, in the material you need, one at a time.

Post subject: one more thing about copper
You won't really get the benefits of copper from cheap copper cookware (pans with thin disks of copper on the bottom, clad pans with a thin layer like the all-clad line, or the french "tourist copper" pans with 1.6 mm thickness and brass handles.
Some of these pans may be decent, but if you want the benefits of professional copper cookware, you need the real deal: 2.5+ mm thickness, usually clad with 18-10 stainless, almost always with a cast iron or stainless steel handle.
The more traditional pans are tin-lined. These offer some advantages (slightly faster response, and they are re-tinable) but many disadvantages (fragile surface, and low melting point of tin makes many kinds of cooking impossible).
The brands I can vouch for are Mauvielle, Bourgeat, and Falk.
Copper prices are ridiculously high right now.

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could recommend a safe but low maintenance pot (~ 10 quarts) for making beef stews, soups, and other slow-cooking foods?
Your advice is greatly appreciated (I've been pulling my hair out trying to decide)!

If 8.5 quarts is enough, I recommend SwissDiamond. I love my SwissDiamond stock pot. Their non-stick surface can be used to brown meats in the pot prior to the remainder of the cooking as a stew, it is a durable non-stick and nothing cleans up easier. By the way, for the teflon haters, the non-stick is NOT teflon.

I have been researching cookware for weeks, and I can't seem to make a decision. My mom has waterless cookware from Health Craft and loves it. However, I do not want to pay the high price. I keep finding other waterless cookware sets that are a lot cheaper. Two are Vapo-Seal and Maxam's World's Finest 17 pc. set (KT17ULTRA). Does anyone know anything about these? Are there any waterless cookware sets with stainless steel handles at a reasonable price (most seem to have the phenolic handles)? I love the looks of All-Clad, but I don't think it is stackable like other waterless cookware sets. I would also prefer not to pay that much. Any suggestions?

Replacing window glass panes - For as long as couple of weeks, I have been disclosing how to repair a broken window sheet in your home. Be that as it may, imagine a scenario where you have dual pane windows. Is the procedure the same? All things considered, essentially, aside from two or three varieties. Along these lines, how about we audit the single sheet repair procedure, and I will bring up the distinctions with respect to dual pane windows.
|replacing window glass panes
When we begin discussing double sheet windows, one of the principal things that ring a bell is vinyl window outlines rather than aluminum. At the point when managing dual pane windows, you can have aluminum or vinyl outlines, contingent upon the year the house was manufactured. Dual pane glass got prominent in the 1980's, yet vinyl outlines didn't generally get on until the 1990's. In this way, if your home is under 10 years of age, odds are you have vinyl encircled windows. In either case, I will examine the distinctions. Suppose you have a sliding aluminum outline window with dual pane glass. The strategy for expelling the casing from the opening and the glass from the scarf is the same as with the single pane windows.
The distinctions are, initially, the glass goes into the casing about twice to the extent the single sheet window. The single pane window glass went 1/4" into the encompassing elastic. The double sheet for the most part goes 1/2" into the elastic. In this way, if both bits of glass have been broken, you must request another IGU (Insulated Glass Unit) from the nearby glass shop. They are going to need to know the width, tallness, general thickness, and perhaps the individual glass thickness. The most ideal approach to get the measurements is to gauge the width and range from elastic to elastic, record those numbers. At that point, expel the board from the opening and place it on a table as we did with the single pane window. Expel the screws from inverse corners and draw of the casing. You will have the capacity to perceive how far the glass goes into the encompassing elastic. In the event that its 1/2", then you need to include 1" to the width and tallness that you gauged already (1/2" times two sides= 1"). At that point, measure the general thickness of the unit by expelling the elastic from the glass edge.
Ordinarily, this measurement is 1/2", however not generally. There is a metal spacer that partitions the two sheets of glass. Make a note of the shading so you can ask for the same shading in the new IGU. It's either going to be silver or bronze. On the off chance that you need to get the same size spacer you have to give the glass shop the thickness of every bit of glass in the IGU. On the off chance that the old unit has 1/8" glass on both sides, and the general thickness of the unit is 1/2", then they will utilize a 1/4" spacer. In the event that the glass is 3/32" on both sides, they will utilize a 5/16" spacer. In the event that you couldn't care less about coordinating the spacer thickness, you can ask for the thicker 1/8" glass, and they will naturally utilize a 1/4" spacer.
When you get the new IGU home, the establishment is the same as the single sheet window. Presently, imagine a scenario in which one and only side of the IGU have been broken. Commonly the external sheet will break, however within sheet is fine. You can arrange a radical new IGU Like we simply did, or, in case you're the courageous sort, you can arrange just the single sheet of glass that was broken and supplant it. I'm going to disclose how to do it, and then I'm going to let you know the things that can turn out badly. After you have the window sheet on the table with the encompassing casing evacuated, you will see a dark elastic sort substance around the edge where the spacer is connected. This is a butyl sealant, and you need to independent the broken glass from this butyl. The most ideal approach to do it is to bring a utility blade with another sharp edge and leap forward the butyl where it meets the broken glass. At that point, take another hacksaw cutting edge, and push it into the territory where you separated the butyl from the glass. You don't need the hacksaw sharp edge to be joined to a hacksaw. Utilizing your hand, saw forward and backward as you work your way around the edge of the glass. This ought to permit you to uproot the glass.
Once that is done, lay clothes on top of the great bit of glass to catch any flotsam and jetsam, and scratch the surface of the spacer that will be reaching the new glass. Utilize a putty blade. At that point, uproot the clothes and garbage. When you are prepared to put the new glass on, clean within the great bit of glass that you didn't uproot. Keep in mind, once you introduce the new glass, any garbage or finger blemishes within will be for all time fixed. Along these lines, clean it genuine great and check it from all points. Do likewise to the side of the new glass that will go to within the IGU. At that point, run a dainty dot of clear silicone around the whole border of the spacer. Set your new glass on the spacer and use finger weight to hold fast the glass to the silicone the distance around. Then, roll in from the side, and run silicone around the side where the glass and spacer meet. Spread the window opening with something for 24 hours. You would prefer not to touch the IGU for 24 hours. The silicone needs to cure. Following 24 hours, you can amass the unit and introduce it once again into the opening.
There are several things that can turn out badly. The first is leaving blemishes within bit of the glass. When you seal the glass, you can't clean what's between the sheets. The other thing includes buildup between the sheets. On the off chance that you have even the scarcest break in the silicone seal around the glass, odds are you will begging to see dampness structure when the evenings get frosty and the days get warm. You must choose in the event that you are sufficiently certain in your capacity to carry out the employment right, or on the off chance that it's ideal to pay the additional cash to have it accomplished for you. Because you pay somebody to do it, doesn't mean regardless you won't experience the same issues. The distinction is, they need to ensure their IGU for at least 1 year. I have gotten numerous units throughout the years that had marks in the middle of the glass. The excellence of it is the producer can't debate it, in light of the fact that it is highly unlikely any other individual could have done it with the exception of them.
Alright, imagine a scenario in which the window edges are vinyl rather than aluminum. All things considered, the fundamental distinction is the glass in a vinyl window no more has the rubber gasket around the edge. You don't uproot the inverse corner screws and separate the edge from the glass. What they do is put either silicone or a two sided tape on the lip of the casing where the glass rests. That is the thing that holds the glass in the casing, and then they apply a snap in stop on every one of the four sides of the glass. In this way, you need to uproot the stops to begin with, then turn over the board and break the seal holding the glass to the casing utilizing a utility blade. Wear gloves amid this strategy. In the event that stand outside of the IGU is broken, don't consider repairing only the one side. You will never understand that IGU out of the casing without breaking the other bit of glass all the while. Be that as it may, on the positive side, you can uproot the stops without taking the board out on the off chance that it's a slider. You can then gauge the measurements of the glass, and request the new IGU. That way you take out any need to briefly conceal your window. The same is valid for the stationary segment of a slider, or a photo window. Before you introduce the new IGU, make certain and clean the lip that had the tape or silicone, and apply either silicone or tape. Either will work.

We rescued a dog while living in South Korea, and were always curious as to what she was. She looked like a Schnauzer cross. The test is simple. The results are fast, and accurate. Turns out she's a Schnauzer-Cocker Spaniel mix, so we tell people she's a Schnocker. The test is great to try to watch for genetic diseases/common injuries. While they are mutts, it's great to know the specific kind of dog they are. We're happy, and going to buy another for our heeler/corgi?? cross.
Very happy with our results. The test was easy. Got them in 2 weeks. It was nice to be able to check the status online. It is free to get your results. The family tree is kinda neat too. They have a database on their website that other people have submitted photos of their mix breed dogs. So you can see all the different examples of dog that has that breed in them. I noticed some people were upset with their results and we were nervous ours was going to come back way off. I've read you should quarantine your dog to make sure he doesn't lick anything before doing the test and to wear gloves (we didn't do this). I guess you never know what is in your dog's family line. So if you have an open mind then give it a try. We thought our rescue dog was a Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix. Turns out he is all Schnauzer on one side and Havanese Poodle on the other.
