Paleo Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
Janill Gilbert stashed this in Food
I have made this at least 4 times, it's very good in it's own right, different than traditional pumpkin pie ;)
Serves: 12
1 Tbsp Unflavored, Knox brand Gelatin
1/2 cup Almond Milk, unsweetened
1/2 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Salt
16 oz Pumpkin Puree
2/3 cup Grade B Maple Syrup
3 Pastured Eggs, separated
Make an almond flour pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
In a saucepan combine gelatin, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, pumpkin, egg yolks, and almond milk.Mix thoroughly.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it boils.Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
Once the pan is cool enough, put the filling in the fridge to chill until set.
Beat egg whites until stiff.
Once pumpkin filling has cooled and set in the fridge, remove from fridge and fold pumpkin filling into the whipped egg whites.
Pour filling into pie crust.
Cover pie with plastic wrap and cool in the fridge until set. (I don't use plastic, I let it set a bit, then cover with an inverted pie dish.
An optional topping is to whip heavy cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Almond Flour Crust
Yield: 9-inch round pie crust
2 1/2 cup Almond Meal/Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup Organic Palm Oil Shortening
1 Tbsp Grade B Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a medium sized bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Make sure to melt the palm shortening before mixing it into the batter.
Stir wet ingredients into dry.
Pat the dough into a 9-inch glass pie dish, and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until golden. (I bake 15, use a large spoon to press crust down, then bake another 15, remove, and press down again.
Remove from oven to cool.
Shaping the pie crust takes a little finesse. It takes about 10 minutes to smooth out the perfect pie crust; you want to create an even, thin layer. We will often use freshly ground pecans in place of almond for our pies. The warm flavor of a pecan pie crust is the perfect complement to a pumpkin pie. For this, substitute pecan meal for almond meal in equal amounts.

Outlook It seems almost unbelievable: A German bank being seen as the "goody" in a court battle.
And yet that is where Commerzbank finds itself. Perhaps that's because of who is on the other side. The baddies are, of course, bankers. Or ex-bankers.
Bankers are always the baddies, but these bankers in particular have caused outrage because of the nature of their demands.
They (there are 104) want the bank, bailed out by the German state, to pony up millions of pounds in bonuses they say they were promised by bosses at Dresdner Kleinwort, the investment banking arm of Dresdner Bank that joined Commerzbank in 2009.
The money was dangled in front of their noses as a guaranteed bonus pool by the then DK chief executive Stefan Jentzsch who wanted to stem a steady stream of departures.
It is said a verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on but this one stuck when it reached the High Court after Commerzbank tried to cut payments on account of DK losing money hand over fist.
Commerzbank is back in the game, however, because the Court of Appeal has agreed to hear the case. Don't get too excited, though. Public outrage about bankers won't matter much to their honours, who will look solely at the points of law.
This case generally smacks of mismanagement and City excess. Even if Commerzbank wins, it will leave a sour taste in the mouth. Remember, it once had a London investment banking arm of its own that shelled out bad bonuses with the best of them.
There's going to be more of this sort of thing too. Figures from the Centre for Economics and Business Research yesterday show that the City jobs total has fallen to 237,000, the lowest since 1993. They have to be taken with a pinch of salt: the City is about more than banking and some parts of it are doing quite nicely, thank you very much.
All the same, those bankers now on the street will be well aware that the gravy train has ended, at least for them. Seeking advice from a lawyer to see if a few extra drops can be squeezed out to smooth the path to a very early retirement is a no-brainer. However cross any resultant court case might make their fellow citizens.Reuse content

Alpha carbon chemistry
The carbon that is one carbon away from an aldehyde or ketone group is the alpha carbon. The deceptively innocuous hydrogens bonded to the alpha carbon can be involved in some classic organic chemistry reactions such as aldol condensations. We will be learning about the formation of enolate anions, and how they can be used in Aldol condensations to build complex organic molecules.
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay show you how to form enolate anions from aldehydes and ketones.
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay show you the mechanism of the aldol condensation and how to predict the products of aldol reactions.

December 10: Walking the streets, searching for Christmas
Today we went walking from here to there, Dear Boy in the pram, Middle Brother Mountain pushing and me searching out the Christmas decorations.
Because Dear Boy is in bed around 7pm and the sun sets after 8, we haven't seen any of the night lights in our neighbourhood this year. But walking through the 'burbs, I've found... well... very little. Hardly any lights strung in trees, hardly any wreaths on doors, and definitely no Santas on roofs. So yesterday's walk was a mission to find the secretly festive enclaves, made all the more difficult because it was, der, daytime.
It took a while, but eventually we started to see the subtlest of signs: 'Santa please stop here', a few giant candy canes pushed into the dirt of the garden, some spray can snow on windows, the shadow of a tree through curtains. We'll take our Christmas cheer where we can.

Yes, I think that is correct. I'm wondering in what kind of state this code/functionality is. For instance, I learned about the code in ClientThread that sets a timeout on the socket, along with a comment saying this looks very suspicious... I tried commenting out the code setting the socket timeout, but you still get errors. To work around this issue, I think the number of connections/threads should either be unlimited (as in the embedded setup) or limited by another mechanism (say, a connection pool in an appserver). The derby.drda.maxThreads property does work, but without time slicing, the (maxThreads +1)th concurrent connection will hang until another one disconnects. regards, -- Kristian > > thanks, > > bryan > >

Another week gone by! Another week closer to Tokyo!
The Dow dropped another 145 points yesterday. Gold rose $11.
Will stocks recover today? Or will they just keep going down?
We're not a soothsayer. We can't read the stars…or interpret the charts. Still, we don't mind taking a guess about the future from time to time. And don't bet on it, by the way…
But we have a hunch that this market is headed down. Because now even the Fed can see that this recovery ain't happening. The Fed announced that it was keeping its ultra-low interest rates ultra-low for an ultra-long time. That is, it extended its extension one more time.
Readers with even a faint recollection of recent financial history will remember that this is what Alan Greenspan did when he was still the smartest man in the world. He kept extending the period of emergency low rates after the mini-recession of '01. The Fed kept lending money at less than the rate of inflation – for 4 years, as we recall. The result was the huge bubble of '05-'07…and then came the blow-up of '08-'09.
But times have changed. Now, the economy is no longer bubbling up. There's no fire under it. Instead, it is cold. Shrinking. Contracting. Like a possum that has been hit by a truck but isn't dead yet.
And even Tim Geithner must realize that all those trillions spent on 'stimulus' were largely wasted.
He'd argue that at least they saved the world from a dreadful meltdown. But none of us knows what would have happened. He's got his opinions. We've got ours…
But it looks more and more like our opinions were right all along. We can scarcely believe it. We don't take any forecasts seriously. Especially not our own. But what do you know….
Yes, dear reader…it's Bonsai! Or whatever they say in Japan…
Years ago, we wrote a book, along with Addison Wiggin, predicting that the US would follow Japan down that long, lonely road…
..where people get older…sales go down…prices fall…
..where they save for their retirements, rather than spend, spend, spend…
..where real estate loses as much as 80% of its value over a period of 15-20 years…
..where stocks go down, down, down and don't get up for two decades…
..where the government pumps money into arteries and veins but it can't revive the economy…
It's been three years since this slump began. We've seen the biggest stimulus effort ever mounted; and the economy is well, not dead…but it's beginning to smell funny.
The roof fell in on the housing market this week. But you already know that…
What don't you know?
Oh never mind, you know everything we know. Probably more.
What can we add? Just that maybe we're right about this Japan thing after all.
When the crisis hit, we recall wondering where the surprise would come from. There's always a surprise, isn't there? Everyone expected a quick recovery. But there was no recovery. Neither quick nor slow. But that was too obvious.
It was taken almost for granted that if the feds pumped in enough adrenaline, they'd be able to get this beast upon on its feet and walking around again – just as they did after the '01 downturn. Worst case, they'd cause an inflationary blow-off.
But what if the downturn lasted much longer than people expected? What if it dragged on year after year, despite the feds? What if it acted just like Japan, in other words?
We seemed 10,000 miles from Tokyo back then. Now, we're much closer.
A letter to the editor of The Financial Times:
I am a pensioner and a shareholder in BP.
I understand that the board of BP is handing over to the US government $20 billion with no conditions, though the company has no legal obligations to do so. I also understand [that the] representative of the US government who has [the] responsibility for disbursing has said he will "err on the side of the claimant," an invitation to every conman in the southern USA to get his spoon into the pot at my expense.
This action by the board of BP is so financially irresponsible that I think not only chief executive Tony Hayward but every other member of the BP board needs to consider his position.
Now we will deconstruct this letter following our new Zombie Theory of History. BP is a producer. It is alive. Its flesh is solid. The blood of profits runs through its veins. The zombies are after it.
The company was doing fine. But it tripped up in the Gulf of Mexico. The zombies saw an opportunity. In order to buy time…and perhaps save itself…the company paid an enormous ransom…bribe…or tribute to the federal government.
Now, 'political risk' – more properly known as 'zombie risk' – is higher in the US than it is in emerging markets.
– The zombies are gathering outside our window. No kidding. Busloads of them.
There's a rally by a group called "The Heart of Baltimore." Someone is spending a lot of money on it. Danny Glover is supposed to be out there. Poor man. It's about 100 degrees in the shade.
What's going on?
"Free & Fair Union Elections" is the order of the day. Ah ha…zombies! One of five Baltimore workers is allegedly working in the health care business. According to the pamphlet, they are struggling to "survive on poverty wages," because they are "without a union."
Dear readers may wonder how having a union makes what they do more valuable. We wondered too, for about 2 seconds. Of course, it doesn't. The only way the health care providers could pay higher wages would be if a) the workers were more productive or b) they raised the cost of health care. Health care is already through-the-roof expensive in the US – far more than it is in other countries. Why? Because the zombies have control of it. The US claims to have a free market in health care. It's not true. The whole system is rigged by unions, pharmacy companies, insurance companies, tort lawyers – and regulations, regulations, regulations.
We will ask you a simple question. Suppose a group of doctors set up a "McDonald's of Health Care – lowest prices in town." They said: 'We'll treat you. But only if you sign this paper saying you won't sue us.' Without the tort lawyers breathing down their necks they could eliminate their malpractice insurance and cut out all the unnecessary tests.
And then…suppose a drug company decided to launch a brand of Free Market Drugs. They offered customers 'unapproved drugs…neither tested nor reviewed by the FDA or anyone else…take them at your own risk!'
How long would these companies last? About 24 hours. Too many zombies.

Tesco has begun stocking the world's hottest chilli pepper – the Carolina Reaper, which has been measured at an average 1.5 million Scoville units.
The Carolina Reaper will be on sale in more than 130 Tesco stores across the UK and will cost £1 for a packet containing two to three chilli peppers. The new pepper is about more than 400 times hotter than a jalapeno.
Tesco chilli pepper buyer Phoebe Burgess said: "The Carolina Reaper is absolute meltdown material – it's one for absolute hot food connoisseurs. Despite it being astonishingly hot it also has a wonderful fruity taste. Only a sliver is needed to add exciting flavour to your favourite curry. Last year the Komodo Dragon became our most popular chilli pepper ever and since then we've been inundated with requests from customers to see if we could go one better and thanks to the fantastic growing skills of our chilli producer we've done that."
The Carolina Reaper is being grown by Salvatore Genovese, the UK's largest producer of chilli peppers, whose seven acre farm is based in Blunham, Bedfordshire.

Srinagar, Jan 19 (ANI): Fruit growers and exporters of Kashmir trading across the line of control (LoC) with Pakistan administered Kashmir threaten to suspend their trade from next week if their demands for lifting ban on certain essential commodities are not met.
Addressing a news conference here on Monday, the traders accused Indian and Pakistani authorities for turning a deaf ear to their repeated demand to lift the embargo.
"We usually send 100 loaded vehicles in a week, but today we are sending only 30 vehicles in protest against the ban... If we will not receive any positive signal then we will go on strike from next week," said Hilal Ahmad, Spokesman Kashmir LoC traders Association, Srinagar.
The traders also accused their counterparts based in Amritsar for sabotaging the trade across the LoC with an aim to monopolise.
"If traders from Amritsar are doing trade then what Kashmiri will do? Our sentiments are involved with this trade. We made sacrifices for this trade... If traders from Amritsar continue with their trade then we will stage massive protests," added Ahmad.
India and Pakistan allowed limited trade across the frontline in October 2008, in an attempt to create 'soft borders' allowing the movement of goods through Poonch-Rawalakot route in Jammu region and Uri-Muzaffarabad route in Kashmir region.
Both Indian and Pakistan governments have banned trade of essential commodities like garlic, dry fruits such as grapes, and pulses among others. Traders from both sides have been demanding lifting the ban on these items. (ANI)

Jiuzhaigou is a fairyland of spectacular biodiversity and topography. The National Reserve spans almost 800 square metres and includes a landscape of lush valleys, jagged peaks, a dozen large waterfalls and, most famously, a collection of iridescent mountain lakes and pools. The valley has become one of the premier tourist destinations in the country, and has undergone tremendous development in recent years.
The National Park is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site and is in its Man and the Biosphere programme. Jiuzhaigou is a natural reserve and a habitat for nine villages, whose residents are mostly of Tibetan and Qiang origin and have lived there for centuries.
Management of the park has been delegated to the private sector, with admission fees more expensive than in previous years, but services are more convenient.
The route through the park is plied by 'green buses' and there are also walkways and signs directing tourists. A walk through the area open to tourists could take a full day.
There are many hotels, including two new 5-star resorts in the wilderness behind the tourist area.
Nearby is Huanglong, a collection of lakes similar to those in Jiuzhaigou, but in a very different setting. Whereas the lakes in Jiuzhaigou are surrounded by alpine forests and stark grey spires of rock, the lakes around Huanglong sink into the surrounding countryside and cascade down the cliffs of a broad, wide valley.

So far this week Brent Chapman has caught his fish on a beaver-style plastic and a 1/2 ounce War Eagle spinnerbait. He'll have those out today again, but he also plans to work a buzzbait into the mix.
He'll need a big bag to vault up from 14th place and while he wouldn't guarantee anything, he said that a 30 lb. limit is not out of the question.
"They catch 10 pounders here and no one has weighed one in yet this week."

Spend on windshield insurance instead of a better car alarm system
Recently our car was broken into, despite being parked in what I thought was a relatively safe place. While getting the broken window replaced, I learned that a key consideration when designing car windows is that they shatter safely, so as not to injure passengers. Car windows are not primarily designed to keep the crooks out; in fact the police officer who inspected our car was surprised that the burglars apparently needed to hit our window more than once in order to break it.
A corollary is that car windows are easy to replace. If you design something to break, you might as well make it easy to swap. Many car windows are apparently held in place by just two little hinges (as is ours) and the entire replacement process takes 15 minutes.
What this means is that you are probably better off paying for optional "glass insurance" than you are for a better car alarm system. If someone wants to break into your car, the alarm is not going to stop them. It might even lead them to damage the door or other parts of the car that are more expensive to repair than the window 😉
In Australia, even "comprehensive" insurance packages do not usually cover damage to windows or windshields. In our case this is an optional extra that costs around $60/year. It turns out that each window costs around $200 to replace (the deductible is typically around $500). So at least to me, this seems a worthwhile extra to pay for.
3 Responses to "Spend on windshield insurance instead of a better car alarm system"
How many car windows have you had broken in all your history or car ownership? I owned cars for over 10 years and never had to replace a window, and though I did have windshield cover automatically under my policy, you wouldn't find me paying $60 extra for that kind of cover. That would have equated to (keeping the math simple) $600 spent over 10 years. I'd rather take the risk of paying $200 periodically.
My policy is that insurance is designed to make a profit, so it is not in my interest to buy it unless it is for something that I cannot afford to replace. So house and contents yes, but no extras for fridge etc. Comprehensive car insurance, but not glass.

Anyone who lives in HOT climates (think Phoenix, or south Texas), have any experience with UnderArmour (or similar style) wicking Tshirts in the summer)? I have to wear a polo at work (thankfully untucked), but to carry IWB really need something between the gun and my gut. TIA for the input
Most brands like Nike, North Face, UA, etc all make those kinds of shirts. I wear them in the summer often as an undershirt.
I think my question is.....are they really any cooler than the standard "wife beater"?..................
yes they are but there are cheaper alternatives. I wear C5 brand shirts from Champion that I get at target for 12 bucks. I work in the sun but have to dress business casual so I wear them as undershirts under polos and dress shirts
God grants Liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
~Daniel Webster
Your points are shallow... my points are Hollow....
I usually wear an Under Armour base layer in the summer. I don't find that it really keeps me cooler than a normal cotton T-shirt, but it doesn't absorb sweat, so it's more comfortable to me.
I'm actually waiting to try the new Columbia Omni-Freeze Zero gear as soon as I can find some locally.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome of the vote." ~ Benjamin Franklin
Retired military, been wearing a T-shirt most of my life.
I have many Under Armour shirts,love them and for me they are cooler. The thing I really like is they are quality shirts. Wash and dry them in the correct manner and they look good for a long time.
Pain is the best teacher,but nobody wants to go to his class.
When the past smothers the present, there is only desperation. When the future absorbs the present, life stands still. In either case a decision must be made because you only live now and you are only what you are now.
UA boxer briefs are very comfortable in all types of clothing and hot weather, they come in 3, 6, and 9 inch.
They are definitely more comfortable than your average shirt, and do a very good job at keeping you dry. They are a bit pricey, but if you order them off their website they have undershirts on clearance fairly often.
I think guns are like insurance. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
I have worn it under my body armor in the summer. I does work but for only so long. Once the shirt gets wet from sweating so much, it seems to stop working for me.
I buy the generic stuff in poly and I love it! I'm a chef so it's hot all year round for me. I always wear them under my chef coat and all my boxers are poly. The stuff really works well at wicking moisture away and eliminating swamp/monkey butt. It also prevents chaffing and heat rash. It's all I'll wear for underwear and my standard choice for T's in hot weather.

Target: Chief Judge Loretta A. Preska of the Southern District of New York U.S. District Court
Goal: Allow the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to refuse to run anti-Islam advertisements that refer to Muslims as "savages"
As protests continue to flare up throughout the Middle East in response to films that negatively portray Islam, anti-Muslim groups in the United States have taken the opportunity to foster further aggression and hate against followers of the Islamic faith. The American Freedom Defense Initiative, an outspoken pro-Israel organization that has often been categorized as a hate group, is poised to run a series of anti-Muslim advertisements on New York subway trains. The banners in question provocatively refer to Muslims as "savages," an undeniably racist term that seeks to dehumanize and incite violence against Muslims in America and overseas. Insist that these hateful messages never see the light of day.
The banner ad's inflammatory text reads, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad." The term "savage" has been used throughout history to dehumanize groups of people thought to be inferior to "civilized" European colonizers. Now, the ugly term is wielded again to describe Muslims as less than human. Although the Metropolitan Transportation Authority originally sought to ban the American Freedom Defense Initiative's controversial advertising, U.S. District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled that the banners were protected speech under the First Amendment. The MTA now has no choice but to run the ads, which only serve to amplify the existing atmosphere of hostility that New York Muslims must face on a daily basis.
These advertisements will only serve to incite hatred and possibly violence on the streets and subways of New York. All residents of Manhattan deserve to feel safe in their own city regardless of their faith. Demand that the Manhattan federal court's chief judge overturn the ruling and allow the MTA to refuse to display these hateful messages.
Dear Honorable Judge Preska,
As violence and dissent continues to rage in the Middle East, it's important that Americans have avenues in which to discuss and debate the meaning of these events. However, flooding the subways of New York with hate speech in no way contributes to intelligent discourse on the Middle Eastern protests. Yet advertisements from the American Freedom Defense Initiative that hatefully refer to Muslims as "savages" and implore the viewer to "defeat Jihad" are poised to appear in Manhattan subway trains.
These advertisements have the potential to create unsafe environments in New York's subway system. Acts of violence against American Muslims are already far too common; publicly dehumanizing members of the Islamic faith on banner ads will only serve to justify these ignorant acts of violence. I demand that you keep citizens of New York safe by honoring the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's desire to block these ads from subway cars.

The former private-equity owner of Comet, the liquidated electricals chain, has walked away with at least £54m while the taxman and suppliers are still waiting for their money.
OpCapita, run by Henry Jackson, bought Comet from Kesa for a token £2 in February 2012 but it went into administration nine months later with the loss of 7,000 jobs.
Now it has been revealed that Hailey Acquisitions Limited, the vehicle used by OpCapita and its backers for the deal, has been paid £54m by the administrators Deloitte following the sale of stock and equipment at Comet.
Hailey could be in line for further payouts because it is the main secured creditor to Comet having taken on its debt from Kesa.
The administrators have a further £29m of cash to distribute, much of which could go to Hailey.
By contrast unsecured creditors to Comet, who are owed £232m, have been warned to expect payouts of less than 1p in the pound.
Hailey also controls Comet's profitable warranties business Triptych and is reportedly in talks to buy up £27m worth of Comet losses, which it could use to offset against other profitable activities.
The Business, Innovation and Skills Department, under Vince Cable, is investigating the collapse of Comet, where the Government ended up with a £50m bill for unpaid taxes and redundancy payments.

Old jewels with maximal FSAA/AF: Max Payne
It's been five years since Max Payne's last adventure. Fans are still waiting for a worthy successor. Now five years after the release the calculating power of graphics cards is high enough to play the game with maximal eye candy.
Action fans all over the world aren't waiting for Crysis Warhead only, but also for a new Max Payne adventure. While the creators are working on Alan Wake, not only the PCGH editors but a lot of fans still play the great predecessor. Because the first part is banned in Germany, we have to concentrate on the even better second part.
Max Payne 2: The fall of May Payne fascinated with a realistic visualization and moderate hardware requirements. The full magnificence is reached with Multi Texturing: Pixel Shading, as it is common among current games, isn't available. Instead, Remedy used real high-res textures. At the first glance this creates an almost perfect illusion. Only when taking a closer look and at certain viewing angles one notices, which simple, but perfectly utilized, means were used to create the graphics. Please pay attention to extreme sharp textures.
Since the game already went easy on the hardware when it was released, it is not a problem to play it with 16x Supersampling and 16:1 AF today. At a resolution of 1.680 x 1.050, 16x Oversampling forces the graphics card to calculate at 6.720 x 4.200. Additionally we have 64:1 AF. The pictures below were taken with a Geforce 8800 GTX. Even with those extreme settings the game was running smooth, despite some situations where a lot of smoke was visible. Here the framerate dropped below 30 now and then.
If you think about playing the game once again, we can only recommend that you pay a little extra attention to all the details that are integrated into the game. Locations aside from the main objectives often reveal interesting details that make the environment more alive.

My main goal was to be able to see the index on my shifters and the chain on my front rings. This did the trick. It charges in 30 minutes or less, and is very bright. Rear blinker seems to be very bright as well. Both fit on helmet without problem.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cyclist
Not expecting too much out of these lights, I was blown away with their light weight, usb rechargeability and actually versatility. I took them out on the MTB trail tonight actually and they worked alright on high and medium. Flashing was great on the way home but they ran for probably an hour total and there appeared to be plenty of juice left.

Thermae Romae
No forum for this one yet? It's subbed, so this should be moved to "Current Series" ASAP.
Not surprised there's little interest, because this is very odd. Extremely crude flash animation, only three episodes, esoteric as hell - but I enjoyed the first episodes. Very sly social commentary and some good gags. But why is Steve Buscemi in ancient Rome?
I haven't seen the episode, but this PV:
But I'm suspecting this PV was a troll.
I think i watch the movie instead. It looks more interesting.
Again, another hugely popular series that western anime fans don't care, and they had the audacity to say there's too many moe and fan service series nowadays?
The problem is that they they don't like moe, they don't like fan-service, and they don't like/follow the non-moe series so they just bitch about everything.
Anyway, it's only 3 episodes because there is only 3 volumes of manga so far, yet those 3 volumes sold at a record pace for seinen series that even make every Shonen and Shojo series not named One Piece jealous.
So far the series has already break 5 million copies with just 3 volumes.
It even has a live action movie slotted later this year featuring a kick-ass, top line cast with Hiroshi Abe , Aya Ueto, Masachika Ichimura, and Kazuki Kitamura .
Edit: Which MrTerrorist beat me to it with the trailer...
I really love the manga a lot and the recent chapters are particularly hilarious. :heh: I'm so happy that the anime is released.
I also can't wait for the movie. That cast they have is a beast of a cast.
Hiroshi Abe is well known for his acting ability and ability to deliver cold, sharp comedic line. Same can be said with Kazuki Kitamura.
Masachika Ichimura is a well known stage/drama actor from a espect entertainment family.
And then you add a eye candy with Aya Ueto, that movie is looking really good from cast point.
Just when I thought nothing in anime/manga would surprise me any more, something like this turns up.
A very interesting concept indeed. And so apparently obvious, too, given the two cultures' shared love for public baths. You'd have thought that someone, especially a sociologist or a historian, would have hit upon this idea a lot sooner.
If there's ever an anime for broadening the medium's appeal to Italians, Thermae Romae would probably be it. Meanwhile, it's time to soak. :p
I didn't plan to pick this up because I wasn't even expecting anyone to bother subbing it. Imagine my surprise when someone did.
Anyway gonna watch it later.
Not everyone who has been levying criticisms against the industry at the moment is as you say.
Then, you are NOT in the crowd that I'm referring to isn't it.
Have you checked General Anime discussion lately? There are at least 2-3 threads opened and then closed on the very topic in last month, none of them ended with remotely convincing argument from the accusing side.
Anyway, you're right, I probably should put the word "some" in it, though I stand by my point.
And to think that some complained that this anime shelved aside other more anticipated projects!
I watched the first episode and although it produced some chuckles it's not ROFLMAO material so it's not enough for me to keep following.
I just wish there's more episodes of it instead of just 3.
The Manga is amazing.
But can't really argue with the decision when there are only 4 volumes out, (3 at time of announcement) and I rather they don't mess up on the adaption.
As for those whines, I'm just getting tire seeing "some" western fans complain about the state of the industry and blame it all on otaku and moe and fan service, when they have no concrete evidences nor arguments and are just pissed off because they thought there aren't as many stuff them want when in reality they are too lazy to spend time looking for stuff they claim no longer exist.
The best ever. The pure randomness made me giggle. I like the expressions of different characters so far. The crappy animation it may be, I cannot really criticise about anything. It was very wacky.
This is obviously a teaser project for the movies. Each episodes only consist a manga chapter.
I really hope that it become an actual 1-cour series.
My favorite part was when it modified the scene in manga and turn it into a perfect movie plug.
Lucius: "A giant, single block mirror!!! They have such a giant mirror!!? And the flawless detail in this advertisement portrait!!!" (looks at the Thermae Romae movie poster with Hiroshi Abe in the background.)
Flat-face Men: "You looked kind of like Hiroshi Abe!!!"
BTW, the mangaka Mari Yamazaki is from a musical family and she married to the grandson of an Italian pottery master, which is probably many many of her works deal with Italian family and culture. She is also currently live in Chicago and travels to Europe a lot.
Couldn't resist turning it into a meme... :heh:
Well, it's certainly different, and not in a bad way.
I wonder if this was rustled up in a hurry to fill a gap because Black Rock Shooter wouldn't stretch to 11 episodes? So it was done on a low budget as filler.
Because I think the concept would most likely work well as a 'proper' anime series, as well as be a good fit for the Noitamina slot.
People may scoff at the 'crappy animation', but hey, I grew up watching shows like Captain Pugwash which was all done with cardboard cutouts, and Roobarb, which was all hand-drawn in felt-tip pen, so while this may not be up to today's standards, I've seen far worse!
I did enjoy the first two episodes of this anime as it's very unique. I do wonder how long I will stay entertained though because I believe there's only so much one can talking about regarding bathing.
While looking up the show, I found out Lucius is voiced by a guy named FROGMAN (who also happens to be the executive director). That's awesome.
It really is a simple manga but very amusing to read. Kind of like 4-koma manga (K-On and co.) in an episodic story. Very sitcom like.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Yul Brynner electrifies the screen in his first starring role as ruthless and silky suave gentleman gangster Paul Vicola. Vicola runs a Yacht Club as a front for the east coast's largest heroin smuggling ring. Treasury Agents discover Vicola's mobsters brazenly sneaking the contraband in through America's front door, New York harbor, and plot a dragnet to bring down his criminal empire.
Featuring K.T. Stevens as the pretty girl caught in Vicola's clutches and sweaty William Challee as an impish nightclub impresario who squeals on the wrong man, Port of New York is a tough and visceral crime film strikingly captured in cinematographer George E. Diskant's stark "noir" camerawork.
Product Description:
Yul Brynner (with a full head of hair) made his feature film debut as the villain in PORT OF NEW YORK. Brynner stars as a vicious drug kingpin who specializes in outsmarting the police. But after the body count connected to his operation starts to mount, the police double their efforts to end his smuggling scheme, risking one of their own in a treacherous undercover operation. PORT OF NEW YORK is an overlooked police procedural made a couple of years after the more well-known T-MEN, and both stand as forerunners to television programs like DRAGNET. The film features the high contrast black and white photography common to crime and police films of the period (the genre aesthetic later dubbed "film noir") as well as some remarkable location shooting featuring an extraordinary look at 1940s New York.
Plot Synopsis:
This gritty urban drama focuses on two agents out to bust a narcotics gang. The criminals succeed in smuggling drugs into the country thanks to corrupt agents whom they later murder.
At first, the detective can find nothing on these murderous creeps. Eventually, however, the agents succeed in finding the criminals, and in infiltrating their ranks.
Will the feds bring the mobsters to justice' Or will the smugglers discover the agents' true identities first'

Old New York and Yul with Hair Movie Lover: John Walter from Middle Village, NY US -- May, 31, 2009
Definetly a cut above many films of its type. For a native New Yorker, seeing the city of 60 years ago (3rd Avenue el included) is quite a treat. And even more so is seeing 29 year old Yul Brenner in his first film, complete with an (almost) full head of hair. Fun to watch!

Can i get fibroscan done
I suffered from ribcage pain on right side in April after a heavy workout. I felt it was due to acidity and since it was persistent, also underwent ultrasound blood tests and found that I had fatty liver grade 2. It was also diagnosed that I had hiatus hernia in endoscopy. I followed a strict diet regime and brought down my grade of fatty liver to 1. But from then on I get pain whenever I go back to my work outs or if I do some hard work at home. I also got Fibroscan done 2 months back and realised to be border case. Reduced my fat and oily food intake. But still suffering from pain when I do work, and it hurts sleeping on right side. Talked to Ortho and found no orthopaedic issues including spine. As I am more worried about my liver, can I get one more fibroscan without damaging liver. Though I understand it to be non invasive, but will the signals during the test disturb liver function?

First, your abdominal pain is not related to underlying fatty liver. As long as your liver function test is normal, fatty liver can be managed with medications. No need for fibroscan. Reason for your pain during workout is either musculoskeletal / nerve entrapment syndrome. You need clinical examination for permanent remedy.

Anyone who goes to a film called The Pornographer should have a fair idea of what they're going to see. But in this case, they'll simply have to take my word for what they might have seen. I have viewed all 11 seconds of the material cut by the film censor. Let me say right away, you're missing nothing.
What's left adequately represents the whole 17-second sequence during the making of a pornographic movie by an ageing film director (Jean-Pierre Léaud) who is past his blue- movie prime and is replaced in mid-coitus by his producer, who feels the scene calls for more action and less art.
The unsimulated consequences involve premature ejaculation in which - to quote the British Board of Film Classification's chastely factual press release - "a woman is seen with semen on her face". Certainly it is a repugnant moment. But chiefly because it looks so obviously inserted into the film to add a lewd commercial come-on to an otherwise stupefyingly tedious study not of the male member, but the male menopause. It brings the film to climax so early on that anyone expecting it to deal in further detail with a man spilling his seed will have a long, fruitless (indeed seedless) wait.
A man running to seed, now that's another matter, and almost the entire performance of Jean-Pierre Léaud's fagged-out film-maker. Those who don't know him as the boy star of Les 400 Coups and other Truffaut films that form a sequential autobiography of this mascot of the French nouvelle vague may find The Pornographer of next to no interest. Even admirers of Léaud and his symbiotic relationship to his late mentor will probably be more depressed than absorbed. He looks terrible. The 15-year-old face which once turned toward us with heart-wrenchingly mute appeal in the finale freeze-frame of Les 400 Coups now avoids meeting our eyes: it looks raddled, seedy, careworn, prematurely aged ... and he's only 57, for heaven's sake. Paunchy and glassy-eyed, he looks thoroughly pissed-off, not just with the film he's directing in The Pornographer: even with the film he's in.
Making porno looks miserable work, anyhow. The cast mooch around with their clothes on most of the time, rehearsing lines in dismal undertones - as if what's said mattered. After getting the sack, Léaud decides to leave his mistress, has a few melancholy encounters with his teenage son, grants an interview to a magazine writer and accuses her of having a dirty mind for quizzing him about his trade. He's last seen laying the foundations of a cabin refuge on a piece of land given to him by the estate owner whose grand manor house he rented for the porno. He looks as far away as ever from making his dream film: one in which a girl flees through the woods as a pack of hounds snap at her butt. "The last scenes were to be totally abstract," a voice-over narrator portentously informs us. "He couldn't get it financed."
I'm amazed anyone got The Pornographer financed. Its coproducers are Canadian and - wouldn't you know it? - Quebec's publicly subsidised film board. I wonder what their thoughts were when they took delivery of director Betrand Bonello's "art work"? I know what Mr Hamish McAlpine, The Pornographer's British distributor, thinks. He is "shocked", yes, shocked, by our censor cutting what the porn trade calls "cum" shots, and the film trade the money shots.. The high-handed moral guardian considered them not justified by context.
But hardly anything that happens in the film is justified : it all feels completely arbitrary. An entire sub-plot about Léaud s estranged son and his pals planning a civil-disobedience campaign by taking a vow of silence ( Taisons Nous is their revolutionary slogan) is simply a trite cheap shot at pratt-ish youth. It s unjustified by context .
So are the sheep. I didn't mention the sheep. A freshly sheared flock, on whom the camera focuses suggestively, drifts by a pair of coupling lovers Are they? Will they? Would they? But the moment passes. The sheep graze safely. The moviegoer yawns.

wikiHow to Prepare for a Second Child
When you have a second child, it can be as overwhelming as having the first, especially since you already have 1 child at home. A second child brings new challenges, but if you are prepared, those challenges will be easier to cope with. Consider the following list of steps when the time comes to prepare for a second child.
1Prepare your first child for the second. Oftentimes the first child is resentful about the arrival of a sibling. To avoid sibling rivalry, prepare your first child by creating a sense of excitement.
- Set a moment aside to tell your first child that you are having another baby. Explain that it is going to be a wonderful time and that your child will have a sibling to play with or spend time with. Tell your child that your second baby will be so lucky to have a big brother or sister. You want to instill a sense of excitement, responsibility and anticipation in your first child.
- Start thinking of ways that your first child can help take care of the second baby. For example, when changing diapers, have your first child assist. If feasible, have your first child help with feedings and bath times. Whenever you can have the first child help with the second, take advantage of that opportunity.
- Have your first child help prepare for the arrival of the second child, if possible. Your first child will see the second baby as an extension of the family, not a replacement.
2Pull out all your baby items from your first child and decide what you can reuse. If your second child is the same gender as the first, you can reuse almost everything. If not, you will have to make adjustments. Remember that girls can still wear blue items and you can mix and match with girl colors. If you are having a boy after a girl, you will have a harder time reusing items, although it's not impossible when it comes to jeans, denim items, yellows and pastel greens.
3Go shopping for things that you need. Ideally you won't need to purchase a crib or baby items. If the gender if different, you will need to invest in clothes. Additionally, if your first child is still young, you may need a double stroller. Consider a sit and stand stroller which allows both a baby and young child to be transported.
4Decide where baby will be sleeping, and get the location ready. If baby is sharing with your first child, then you will have to prepare that child for a roommate. Even if baby gets a single room, you will need to prepare it. If baby is sleeping in your room for the first few months, make sure you have a bassinet ready.
5Establish a new budget that accommodates second baby expenses. This budget may need to include additional childcare costs. Additionally, you will have to include the extra cost of diapers, wipes, formula or breastfeeding equipment and other baby items. If costs estimated are higher than your income, you may need to make adjustments, such as cutting back.
6Find child care for your second child if needed. Child care facilities usually take on fewer babies, so make sure you have a daycare ready to take your little one. If your first child is still in a daycare, you may have a better chance. However, if your current daycare does not have room for a new baby, you may have to move both your children.
7Make sure your hospital bag is ready to go 1 month before your due date. Go through your diaper bag also and make sure you upgrade anything that is too old or missing, such as wipes, diapers, bibs, burp cloths, a thermometer and bottles.

- Consider taking birthing classes if you are nervous. You may still remember what to do or what to expect during labor, but if it has been a while, take the classes again.
- If you and your spouse are both working, determine whether that scenario is still feasible considering the second daycare cost. You may decide that 1 parent staying home or working from home is more conducive to your financial situation.

Martha, Max's mother, passed away quietly in her sleep last night.
We were prepared for it, I suppose, but you can't really be fully prepared for the passing of a parent either.
There are a few articles that I've already written, which will be posted here and on Just Bento over the next few days but replying to emails and comments etc. will be slow. Thanks for your understanding.
This is the very last day you can donate to Menu For Hope! And a nice bonus - take a look at the beautiful poem about Lesotho <a href="http://sotho.blogsome.com/2007/02/08/my-country-my-home/'>here by Rethabile. (Yes, if you also read Just Bento you're getting this in double...but it's a poem worth visiting more than once!)
Just Bento and Just Hungry (which is mostly me anyway) are taking a few days off to take care of a ton of offline duties. (Thank you for your nice emails...we're hanging in around here.)
We decided not to get a tree this year, so the only Christmas decoration of sorts we have up is this wallhanging/advent calendar, that I finally finished last week.
In this day and age when things I have made or worked on exist only in digital form, it's really grounding and satisfying to create something that has a physical form and presence, that I can touch and hold. That includes food too. There's nothing better than the warm feeling you get when your friends and family's faces light up when you present them with delicious food that you made with your own hands. Especially around the holidays.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I realize that compared to a lot of other food blogs, I don't get that personal on this blog most of the time. I just wanted to mention though that posting may slow down a bit for a while. I know that I've promised some articles such as one on pressure cooking, and I had planned some festive Christmas-y recipes and such. However, yesterday we heard that Max's mother Martha, who is in a nursing home, has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. So, it will be a rather somber Christmas around here.
My pressure cooker actually used to belong to Martha, until she went into the home a couple of years ago. Except for replacing the rubber gasket, it's as good as the day she bought it more than 20 years ago. She used it all the time, mainly for steaming potatoes, but for a few other things too. I hope to put those recipes up here in due course.
In the meantime, here is her authentic Swiss cheese fondue recipe, which is the absolute best I've ever had. A cheese fondue with crusty bread was always one of our favorite meals to have together.
Just a poke to remind everyone that the 4th anniversary book giveaway / "Food Memories" mini-contest ends today, at 1 minute before midnight CET. That's 11pm GMT, 6pm Eastern, 5pm Central, 3pm Pacific, 9am Saturday in Tokyo, etc. There are already many wonderful personal stories...add your own! The winner will be announced on Monday. Good luck!
[Update: The winner is announced!]
I originally intended to tweak the innards of the site a bit to improve performance and readability - the front page was getting rather (very) unwieldly. That somehow escalated more and more, as they do if you are a web geek taking a busman's holiday*, and now the site has had a complete makeover. (Yet again. It's the 5th re-design in 4 years.) For good measure I have given it a Christmas look, to stay in place for the next month. Ho ho ho.
Things should work properly, but if they don't, please let me know.
(And yes, that new Swiss chocolate sponsor on the right does ship internationally.)
I just realized that the kuri squash and apple maple pudding recipe is actually the 200th recipe posted on Just Hungry. 200 spread out over almost 4 years may not seem like that much, but every one of them has been tried and tested, in most cases repeatedly, so...it actually is quite a lot for me! Judging from the comments and email I get, most of them seem to work fairly well for people, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
A little site news: I've added a new search function to the site that will search both Just Hungry and Just Bento for your convenience. It's using Google Custom Search, which is a very easy way of setting up multi-site searches. (The results do show ads on occasion, but there's not much you can do about that in Googleland.)
For the longest time (like forever) RSS subscribers to Just Hungry have only gotten the excerpts. There was no deep reason for this...except that I was afraid that my often long-winded posts would annoy you if you wanted to skim, or something. Well, due to approximately 3.5 people mentioning they'd prefer full feeds...from now on all
Just Hungry and Just Bento feeds will have the full shebang, so you'll never have to visit the site again*! Banzai!
Not subscribed yet? Then here they are: the Just Hungry newsfeed and
Just Bento newsfeed. (What is a newsfeed?)
*Though I hope you do, I like visitors. I'll even put out the Chex mix.
Just Bento, my new brand site dedicated to the making of bento box meals, is now officially open! It will have bento-specific recipes, tutorials and tips galore. While the majority of the bento box examples will be Japanese or Japanese-style bentos (geared and adapted for people who don't live in Japan), there will be foods and recipes from many other cuisines too, just as on Just Hungry.
The focus is on bento lunches for busy adults, especially those who are looking to using bento lunches to regulate healthy eating habits and/or lose weight. Why? Because that's how I use bento lunches. Late last year I made a resolution to try to lose some weight in 2007. While a lot of things I attempted in order to achieve that goal fell by the wayside, one of the things that 'stuck' was making bento lunches at least 2 to 3 times a week, if not more. So far, I have very slowly lost about 30 pounds (15 kg), and plan to keep going! I occasionally indulge in more luxurious and/or time-consuming bentos too, but that's all part of keeping things fun and loose.
Time is of the essence in the morning, so every bento example will be presented with a graphical timeline besides step-by-step instructions. (See Bento no. 1 for an example). Most bentos will be take less than 30 minutes to make, and the majority will clock in at 20 minutes or under.
There are already several articles up on the site. And no, Just Hungry will not be neglected; there'll be a lot of cross-referencing of tips, recipes and more between the sites.

Sorry, this item sold. Have ifeltlikeitbyterry make something just for you, or try these other items:
These felted stones/rocks look like the real thing but are really soft and light! These stones come in natural shades of charcoal gray & light gray, all with realistic white veins running through out the stones. I patterned these stones after the ones I find on the nearby beach here in Northern California. They make a unique gift for adults as well as kids. Made of a blend of Norwegian and Merino wools, I use a combination of needle and wet felting to create these realistic tactile rocks. These are also an eco-friendly item, the wool I use are natural shades and only olive oil soap, water and elbow grease are used to make them. They measure between 1" to 3" inches round. Have a couple on a desk or window sill, better yet have a few grouped together on a coffee table. It's fun to see others reactions when they pick one up and realize they're not real rocks! This listing is for a group of 6 stones, the stones pictured above are an example of what you will receive, I make each order as I receive it. I am happy to make any amount you like, just contact me on the link on this page to let me know what you want and I will put up a special order for you.

Coat Rack with Shelf
Töjbox by Made by Michael for Woud is the perfect and multi-functional coat stand made of wood for the entrance hall, the bedroom or the walk-in wardrobe.
Jackets and clothes can be hung on hangers on the rail of the Töjbox and the top box provides room for accessories, shoes or the umbrella. No nails, screws or glue is used to construct the wardrobe, only small wooden dowels are used, to hold the design together. In addition do the overlapping wooden rails serve to hang up jackets and scarves.
The Töjbox coat stand by Woud is available in various types of wood and colours, as well as in different sizes.

They stare lifelessly from every shelf: platypus, slipper lobster, flying fox, penguin, pocket gopher, hagfish, tiger, tapir, koala, sea squirt, elephant, tree shrew, dodo, armadillo and thousands more. Elsewhere, 18 baby moles are crammed in a jar, like hairy gobstoppers in a sweet shop.
There is nowhere quite like the Grant Museum of Zoology, established at University College London in 1827 and now reopened on new premises after an eight-month closure.
The museum has 67,000 dead animals in its collection, skeletons, stuffed or preserved in jars. They sit on shelves in old-fashioned cabinets.
"When people found out we were moving they said, 'don't change how it looks,'" says Jack Ashby, the learning and access manager for the museum.
The new home, on University Street, is twice the size of the old space and just as quirky. It's an old medical library, and shelves that previously held anatomical encyclopedias now contain elephant hearts, monkey skulls, sea mice and a gorilla skeleton that was once embraced by HG Wells.
This atmospheric menagerie has none of the button-pushing sterility of many modern museums. A typical touch is the use of a rhino skeleton as a dividing wall between the public space and the back office. But, as Ashby explains, "I've worked here six-and-a-half years and I'm still finding things I didn't know existed." It's that sort of place.
