Skip Hop Duo Deluxe
" At first my husband and I planned to use the same diaper bag and we got one of these in a stripe pattern. I loved that the pockets close with magnets so you could just slip your hand in to open rather than fussing with snaps or Velcro. It is also nice that it has extra clips to hang from the stroller so you don't have to readjust the shoulder strap. I think it was designed for carrying..." --Rachel88

Replaced original tuners on Breedlove Quartz OO mandolin. Shafts were the same on new tuners as original. Only had to drill one hole while others were covered by plates. Love the new black buttons and the new tuners stay in tune much better than the cheapie originals. Super fast service from Stewmac and was able to communicate with a human with my questions.
That works perfectly and its got the image I was looking for my experimental mandolin
Replaced original tuners on an old Strad-O-Lin. I chose the least expensive bright nickel w/ black knobs. The black knobs have a nice vintage vibe and looked just right, and the tuners work well. The shaft spacing was just right. The quality level is about what you'd expect at this price. Too bad the ivoroid knob versions are so expensive.
This beautiful old mandolin was always difficult to tune due to the wear on the old machine heads. I didn't want the usual shiny chrome finish as it would spoil the original look of the instrument. The peg spacing was slightly different so I made a drilling jig (only later realising that StewMac offer one - part ref# 5007) and the Golden Age A-Style tuners went on a treat. The relic brass with black knobs gave the perfect antique look I was looking for and the instrument is now a delight to tune.
I thought I was losing my mind in that I buy these tuners for all my mandos and especially liked the improvements made during the recent times. However I usually buy the F style and love the detail as to removable knobs etc. In general they hold tune very well and are an attractive price point too. My recent pruchase was for A style and I was disapointed that the above mentioned detail was left off. One would think they would like to make money off folks who like custom knobs or simply want to change what came with the instrument. Alas this will not be the case.
Lastly I have had a couple of quality problems but Stew Mac makes it easy to exchange. So all in all good tuners which could be made a bit better in terms of detailing.
I tried a set of bright nickel with black knobs Golden Age mandolin tuners as a cheaper alternative to Schaller ones, that I usually use. I didn't get very enthusiastic about the Golden Age tuners. I think the design and quality gap is greater than what the price difference would suggest. I will stick to Schaller tuners.
Used the tuners on a '56 Gibson A-50. Looks great, work better than the originals. Keep the strings in tune.
these tuners look and work super / they compliment the old time finish and feel of my hand made mandolins / i sold my stock of shiny gold and nickel tuners on ebay to get more of these.now how about some matching tailpieces & strap pins?
Great working replacement for a 1926 A model, removed the existing originals for next owner, I didn't want the old ivoroid buttons breaking during my ownership. Like others I opted to use the original bushings vs. modifying the mando to accept larger new ones.
I replaced the worn out original tuners with these on my 1925 Gibson Ajr and they look great. They are very high quality looking and turn smooth although they are a bit tight to turn. Also, the bushings that come with the tuners are larger than the originals and wont fit in the original holes without reaming out the holes (see pic). Instead, I used the original bushings which worked fine.

Passenger tries to bring BB gun onto plane at Hector AirportFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- There was a scare at Hector International Airport Thursday morning as a passenger tried to bring a BB gun onto a plane.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- There was a scare at Hector International Airport Thursday morning as a passenger tried to bring a BB gun onto a plane.
As passengers prepared to board a plane at 6:30 in the morning, TSA screeners found a BB gun designed to look like a pistol in one man's carry-on luggage. Guns are only allowed on planes if they are stored in checked luggage.
The man, who was headed to Guatemala, was detained and questioned by Fargo Police. He is an undocumented immigrant, and is being held by immigration authorities until investigators decide whether to file charges.
Police say the incident shows why screenings are important at every airport.
Lt. Joel Vettel - Fargo Police Department: "It's pretty important when they do those searches here, even if they are, it seems pretty simple, when they're just going to another flight leaving to Minneapolis or Chicago or wherever. Again, their level of activity is probably a little less here, but it's certainly as important."
The FBI has taken over the investigation. The incident did not interrupt or delay any flights this morning.

Two college students with Chicago-area connections have earned 2014 Rhodes scholarships — including the son of an Oak Brook man who was a key figure in the probe of Rod Blagojevich's attempt to sell President Barack Obama's old Senate seat.
Vinay Nayak, a former White House intern who now attends Yale University, and Samuel Martin Greene, a University of Chicago student from Wisconsin, both earned what is the most prestigious scholarship in the English-speaking world.
Nayak, the son of Raghuveer Nayak, was a 2013 intern at the White House. Vinay Nayak had previously volunteered on Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. He is a senior at Yale, studying political science, according to the Rhodes Trust website. Greene is a senior studying chemistry. He has a lifelong interest in Zen Buddhism, according to the Trust website.
Nayak, 21, says he's still in a "state of shock" after being named a 2014 Rhodes Scholar. He spoke in a telephone interview Sunday, shortly after the winners were announced. In the phone interview, Nayak said he also felt "humbled" and "grateful."
One of his teachers when he attended Hinsdale Central High School called Nayak "a natural-born leader." Jessica Hurt says Nayak was "the most gifted and talented student" she'd ever had.
Raghuveer Nayak — the wealthy fund-raiser for convicted politicians Jesse Jackson Jr. and Rod Blagojevich — pleaded guilty in September to health-care fraud. Now in his late 50s, the pharmacist and surgery center owner is awaiting sentencing in that case. During Blagojevich's second trial, prosecutors referred to the elder Nayak as the "bribe guy," who in 2008 allegedly offered millions of dollars to Blagojevich's brother in exchange for appointing then-U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. to Obama's vacant Senate seat. Nayak has never been charged criminally in connection with those allegations.
Vinay Nayak and Greene are among 32 Americans to win scholarships for two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England. Rhodes scholarships were established in 1904 by the estate of Cecil Rhodes, a British philanthropist.

THE SURGICAL TEAM has scrubbed up and donned their gowns; press 1 on your keypad if you're ready to operate. A script during the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting in Washington, D.C., might read just that way. Like many other medical meetings, TCT broadcasts live surgery via satellite as part of its educational programming. What's unusual is that all the attendees — about 15,000 cardiologists — can participate remotely in the cardiovascular procedure using an audience response keypad.
"At certain points during the case presentations, the doctors ask the audience what they would do next. They vote live, real-time while the procedure is taking place," says Anthony Cosimano, director of sales and marketing at RSi Communications Group, Hackensack, N.J., the company behind TCT's audience response system. "And at times it changes the way these doctors do the procedures," he says.
That thought might make any patient a little uneasy, but the application certainly earns TCT a place among the most innovative users of keypad technology. While the most basic uses of response systems — garnering audience opinions and testing their knowledge — are welcome adjuncts to a meeting, used creatively, ARS can also be a consensus-building and brainstorming tool, an evaluation system, and even a teambuilding tool.
Beyond Demographic Data
But many observers agree that planners and speakers aren't taking advantage of the systems' capabilities. The potential of ARS is often sorely under-explored, with presenters simply gathering demographic data and asking basic questions related to the meeting session. "There are a lot of people who put it into a program because it's a novelty or their client wants it. But they give no guidance to their presenters about what they want to or can accomplish with the system," Cosimano says. "A medical society might make the keypad system available to 20 or 30 speakers as part of a major symposium, but left on their own, only three or four of those speakers are inventive and will come up with something interesting to do [with the keypads]. Not enough guidance is given to people about how they can go beyond the novelty stage, documenting and reinforcing the learning that's taking place, using the audience's responses as a tool to help make a point, gathering data that can have real meaning for you or your client going forward."
Speaker Feedback
Marc Dickstein, MD, is one medical educator who definitely gets it. Dickstein was introduced to ARS at a meeting of the Society for Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists a few years ago and brought his enthusiasm back to Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he is associate professor of clinical anesthesiology in the Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, and co-director, Science Basic to the Practice of Medicine and Dentistry. Working with Turning Technologies, Youngstown, Ohio, the school purchased 250 keypads and a base unit with a grant from the Gladys Brooks Foundation and began using them with students at the beginning of the 2001 school year.
"My initial interest in this was to increase active learning and decrease passive learning [in large lecture classes], but I found it to be useful for many other reasons," says Dickstein. "It gave incredible feedback to lecturers about what students understood. Some-times it was kind of startling for them to see what points did or did not get through, and it changed the way they taught. The other advantage is that the students got a better sense of whether they were keeping up with the material, so they could pace themselves and not fall behind. If they were keeping up, they could reduce their stress level."
Dickstein has experimented with the system to get the most out of it. "The most elementary application is to give students pre-tests and post-tests to see if they got the key points [of a lecture]," he says. "We also couple it with demonstrations and have the students predict what's going to happen. We can have a video link from an exercise lab and ask them to try to guess what's going to happen next or what the response will be. They can guess themselves, see what the rest of the class predicts, and observe what actually happens, and they get really invested in the demonstration.
"The other use of it — and this is really interesting — is when I pose a question and there's a pretty good distribution [of answers]. When most of the class does not know the right answer, I may give the class a hint, or I may have them talk to each other and try to convince each other of the answer, and then I'll re-poll and see if there's a change."
Dickstein says he's looking forward to the 2003 version of Turning Technologies software, which will allow users to see how many people changed their answer in the second polling. "If answers originally were split 50-50, and I re-poll and get the same split, [with the current software] I don't know if everyone stuck to their own camp," he says. "I also use the keypads before a large exam to go over questions from a prior year's exam, and then I review the questions based on the feedback.
"My use of this technology is in its infancy," says Dickstein, who has had so much positive feedback and so much interest from other lecturers that the university is now getting another base unit and plans to hire someone to train faculty and run the system.
Key In Creativity
The success of a keypad program depends on the creativity of the meeting organizer and the presenters, but they don't have to go it alone. Here are a half dozen examples of the applications, for corporate and association meetings, that go beyond the boring.
- Strategic Planning
RSi suggests a two-tier questioning approach. First, ask how important a particular trait is to the success of your product or company, rating it on a scale from one to five. The follow-up question would be: How well do we accomplish this trait at our company? "Do this a number of times, and you come up with an x/y quadrant map that shows what is important to the organization and how well the audience believes they're doing it," says Cosimano.
- Brainstorming
Like the strategic planning approach, meeting leaders can ask the audience about a series of ideas. First asking, "How good is the idea?" and following up with "How achievable is the idea?" "This is a good strategy to focus people and stimulate productive conversation in a meeting," says Cosimano.
- Anonymity
A lot of time can be wasted at meetings when votes need to be tallied. Electing officers and voting on motions can be handled quickly with ARS. And focus groups are another natural fit, especially when the audience might be more honest if they can share their thoughts anonymously.
- Feedback
If you have trouble getting meeting evaluations returned at the end of a session, ask the questions via the ARS system. Answers do not have to be displayed to the audience.
- Icebreaker
"Jeopardy"-style ARS games can be used to mix education with some fun (the audience's answers can be sorted by region or division to promote friendly competition). Trace Kuhn, formerly with Extreme Meetings!, an audience response consulting firm in Tampa, Fla., says his company organized a twist on the idea for a sales operations group of a medical supply company. Before the meeting, they had attendees send in fun facts about themselves, and they then used those facts as the "Jeopardy" answers.
- Sales Training
RSi worked with Johnson & Johnson on a sales training program in which more than 800 people moved through five different sessions, one of which was a pre- and post-training product-knowledge exam. The keypads were coded with each participant's name, region, and sales specialty so the data could be examined in various ways.
"At the end of the day, we provided an Excel spreadsheet that specifically told them how each attendee had scored and showed which areas they were weakest in," Cosimano says. "We provided that data immediately so they could use it the next day."
Incorporating audience response systems into a meeting is now as easy and routine as ordering any other audiovisual component. But unlike a video projector that will play whatever you put into it, these systems take some planning and organization. Given that effort, however, the tool is unlike any other for assessing the feelings, knowledge, and opinions of large groups.
Assessing PhRMA Code Compliance
Audience response keypads are no longer too costly for small meetings. "We have made some breakthroughs and are now doing dinner meetings for 20 to 30 people," says Anthony Cosimano, director of sales and marketing, RSi Communications Group, Hackensack, N.J. "We have made it [the software] much less cumbersome so that a person who is not a keypad technician can successfully run a meeting. Trained technicians do not have to travel to an event. Basically, if a person can run a computer and set up a video projector, they have sufficient skill level to run a keypad meeting."
While creating a more interesting experience for the dinner meeting attendee is one benefit of incorporating ARS technology, the bigger draw may be the ability to document educational content, says Cosimano. "In the medical field, under the new guidelines [the PhRMA code] with respect to educational programs, many of our corporate clients are concerned about what is going on in the meetings that they're underwriting," he says. "The keypads give the product team or corporate management a continuing stream of information about how their message is getting across and how it needs to be tweaked, and it also allows a brand manager to assure the legal department that fair, balanced information is being covered in these meetings."
Typically, says Cosimano, "the firm that gave a grant got a subjective report back from the CME provider: who showed up, what they talked about. We can supplement that subjective report by documenting what people learned."
Reports from the Field
Here are a few examples of how CME providers are using audience response systems.
"Audience response systems have affected the way our speakers approach their audience. For example, at a workshop that we anticipated would attract primarily surgeons with substantial experience in a certain procedure, the ARS results showed that the majority of respondents performed this procedure fewer than five times per year, allowing the lecturer to adapt his talk for a less experienced audience. We have also used the system for evaluation purposes and needs assessment."
Caryl Herrington Worthington
Director, CME and Fellowship Review
American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Alexandria, Va.
"We have used the audience response system for a single speaker and multiple speakers. For both formats, we engage the audience to 'vote' on multiple-choice answers as to their recommendation for treatment, best of …, etc. We have not modified the speaker evaluation form to include questions such as: Does the audience response format add to your enjoyment of the presentation? Does the ARS provide added benefits to the educational format? [However], we did ask these types of questions when originally testing the equipment in order to survey our medical staff. For doctors, the perception of benefit was 50-50; other medical classifications (nurses, technicians, etc.) seemed to enjoy the experience more. That may be because the other medical professionals attending CME activities feel too intimidated to provide input or ask questions in front of MDs."

Hummer Takes Baja
Hummer Takes Baja
In a fierce showing on the Mexican peninsula, Team Hummer, lead by legendary racer Rod Hall, drove both of their H3 race vehicles to first place finishes in the 672.85-mile 42nd running of the Baja 1000. The V8-powered #860 H3 Alpha, driven by Chad Hall, captured the Stock Full class victory, while the I-5-powered #761 H3, piloted by Rod Hall with driving partners Mike Winkel and Emily Miller, took the checkered flags in the Stock Mini class.
Chad Hall ran a nearly perfect race and finished in 22:48:40, averaging 29.50 mph, while battling the Mopar Dodge Ram nearly the entire way until the Ram suffered a broken front axle 30 miles from the finish. The victory marked the third consecutive Baja 1000 in which the H3 Alpha was the first stock-class vehicle to finish the race and marked Chad's eighth Baja 1000 class win.
After a broken steering rack seal took #761 out of the race at mile 40, the Rod Hall team rallied back from a nearly 100-mile deficit and passed the race-leading Toyota 4Runner, driven by Ivan "Ironman" Stewart, 30 miles from the finish to post a winning time of 28:53:30.
One of the Halls-Rod, Josh, or Chad-has been the driver of record on a class-winning team in the SCORE Baja 1000 for nine straight years, and 13 times in the 16-year history of the stock racing classes. Rod Hall holds the record for Baja 1000 class wins, now at 21, and is the only racer to have competed in all 42 Baja 1000s. The Halls continue to be the winningest family in the history of the race.
2011 Chevy Silverado HD Captured!
What you see here is a showroom-ready 2011 Silverado 3500. While it doesn't look much different than the outgoing model, rest assured this truck is new under the skin. With a reportedly redesigned chassis and powertrain options, including the highly upgraded 6.6L Duramax LML with over 700 lb-ft of torque, our expectation is that GM's new heavy-duty trucks will be highly competitive. They will likely continue on as the only HD truck to have an independent front suspension.
BFG Earns Number 23
BFGoodrich Tires, the official tire of the SCORE Desert Racing Series, won the overall four-wheel victory at the 42nd Annual SCORE Baja 1000 and claimed eight of the 10 overall spots. Earning his second overall four-wheel Baja 1000 victory, 22-year-old BFGoodrich Tires driver Andy McMillin, along with his father Scott McMillin, completed the 672.85-mile loop that began in Ensenada in the time of 14 hours, 19 minutes, 50 seconds, logging an average speed of 46.95 miles per hour. The victory signified Scott McMillin's third class win and first overall crown. BFGoodrich has won the overall four-wheel title at the SCORE Baja 1000 23 times over the last 24 years. Only 185 of the 328 starters completed the race.
The following is a complete list of BFGoodrich Tires/2009 SCORE Baja 1000 class winners: SCORE Trophy Truck Andy McMillin/Scott McMillin
Class 1: Jerry Penhall/Dan Martin
Class 3: Darren Skilton/Jon Krellwitz/Clive Skilton
Class 5: Kevin Carr/Perry McNeil
Class 7: Dan Chamlee/Tom Chamlee

DMC Asks to Red-Shirt
November 4th, 2010 12:20 PM║ Posted By: MrSEC.com ║ Permalink
Tags: DMC, Jeff Lockridge, Josh Henderson, Vanderbilt Sports Line

According to Jeff Lockridge at the Tennessean (http://blogs.tennessean.com/vanderbilt/2010/11/04/senior-forward-darshawn-mcclellan-asks-to-be-redshirted/)
While I don't think anybody expects DMC to make or break the season, he was a valuable presence under the basket and now makes it even more important that Festus and Tshiengang stay out of foul trouble. I also wonder how this affects whether Josh Henderson red-shirts or not. Hopefully not.
Still seems like a weird decision but DMC has to do whats best for him right?

You wait nearly a year for one four-day win to come along and then two thrillers arrive within the space of eight days.
If the volume of Lancashire's team song was particularly loud on Friday evening, nobody could blame Glen Chapple and his players, for their three-wicket win over Essex was, like the triumph at Colwyn Bay a week earlier, a throwback to the golden summer of 2011 when pulsating successes came as standard.
No one can know what the significance will be of the 18 points Lancashire gained from this match (one point was deducted for a slow over-rate). Suffice it to say for the moment that it puts Chapple's men in one of the Second Division's promotion places. Given that they could well have a record of played four, won none, such an outcome is more than acceptable.
Moreover, it is doubtful that any one of the small band of spectators who watched this final day at Emirates Old Trafford will easily forget the cricket they witnessed.
Set to score 253 in 51 overs - later reduced to 47 by bad light - the Red Rose batsmen achieved their goal with just one ball to spare, although this was a poor reward for James Foster's attacking declaration after nearly half the day had been lost to rain.
But Glen Chapple's players nearly messed up their run-chase when they lost three wickets - those of Steven Croft (26) Gareth Cross (0) and Simon Katich (28) - to Reece Topley's penultimate over of the match when only five runs were required. And there was even poignant drama when the winning runs were scored as the former Lancashire favourite Sajid Mahmood dropped the catch off Wayne White that would have taken the game to its final possible delivery.
"It was another brilliant game of cricket and I'm just glad we came out on the right side of it," said Karl Brown, whose 81 had played a key role in the victory. "It was just a case of trying to have a few wickets in hand at the end and we managed to do that."
Topley finished with five for 80 from his 14 overs and, like most of his colleagues, really did not deserve to be on the losing side.
That late drama was in sharp contrast to a superb tranquility of a third-wicket partnership of 169 between Brown and Ashwell Prince which had taken the home side to 182 for two, within 71 runs of victory with nine overs to be bowled.
Even after both batsmen were dismissed, Katich and Croft added 41 in five overs to take Lancashire to the verge of a win which threatened to be comfortable but in the end was anything but.
Lancashire's pursuit had got off to a poor start when they lost both openers inside the first six overs. Luke Procter played across the line to a full length delivery from David Masters and was lbw for only four while Paul Horton was unable to cope with Topley's extra bounce and steered the ball tamely to Rob Quiney in the gully.
Much of the rest of the day belonged to Brown and Prince who saw off the threat of the new ball before gradually unveiling a seres of attacking shots.
Although the Essex bowlers never lost their length and line, they were gradually overpowered by the Red Rose pair, who whittled away at the target and reached a series of landmarks. The hundred partnership was achieved off just 123 balls and while Brown reached his fifty off 72 balls, Prince took seven deliveries longer.
If Brown's was the more spectacular innings - he hit a straight six off Masters and another superb maximum when he picked up Topley and put him over the midwicket boundary - Prince's canny acquisition of runs was equally impressive.
Just when it seemed possible that the pair were going to reach personal centuries and take Lancashire to victory by themselves, both were dismissed inside four overs.
Prince was yorked for 80 by Topley when attempting to work the ball through third man while a tired Brown lost his leg stump to Graham Napier when he had made 81.
"Ashwell has a lot of experience and he was speaking to me all the way through it," said Brown. "He was talking to me it and it made my job a lot easier. You just try to keep it simple and keep it ticking over by scoring four or five runs an over. I'm pleased to have got a score in a really good run chase, although you need a little bit of luck in a chase like that and we got it.
"After that sort of a win, the dressing room really is buzzing and the belief in the team is massive and I just hope that we can carry that on though the rest of the season.
"However, to be honest, Saj is a great mate of a lot of the lads and it's not nice to see him drop a catch. We won the game so we were really happy, but it's not pleasant to see that happen to someone you're quite close to."

Escape route from the jobless trap
Imagine if every man, woman, and child from Waterbury, Southington, Wolcott and Middlebury were unemployed — 171,000 people scouring help-wanted ads, emailing resumes, lining up at job fairs, reluctantly filing for benefits.
You don't have to imagine. It's real. Connecticut's unemployment rate is back at 9 percent, nearly a point above the national average and up from 7.7 percent as recently as April. There are 171,000 unemployed people in the state — more people than live in Tolland, Windham or Middlesex counties.

Some people worship Jesus Christ, others Buddha or Mohammed. me? I worship Baklava. It's a religion that pays off nicely. Oh sure, it doesn't explain the injustices in the world, nor does it provide any moral compass. But you know what? It doesn't matter because your eating Baklava.
Bakalava has been around for ages. Around 800 BC, it is told that the Assyrians had a dish that put together a few layers of thin bread dough, added chopped nuts in between, placed some honey on top and baked it in their primitive wood burning ovens. That makes Baklava older than the Roman Empire and is a testament to just how enjoyable this dish can be.
Being that the recipe is so old, you can imagine that there are hundreds of recipes out there. Let me re-assure you. There are. Some have cloves, other cardamon. Some use wlanuts, others use almonds. As with many recipes, there is no one way to make baklava…aside from phyllo dough with a nut mixture in between layers, covered in a sweetening agent of some sort.
The Following recipe does not have honey, and is instead made with a rose-water simple syrup, giving the bakalva an air of other worldiness. Actually, with the Rose water and cardamom, this recipe is more of an Arab version than Greek or Turkish.
All praise Baklava, amen!
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cup bakers sugar (granulated will also work)
- 1/2 cup (4 oz) rosewater
- 3/4 cup blanched almonds, ground
- 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, ground
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 lb unsalted butter
- 1/2 lb of phyllo dough (1/2 package)
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a sauce pan, heat the 1 cup of water. As the water starts to boil, stir in the sugar and allow to dissolve. Take off the heat. Stir in the rose water and set aside for later use. I kept it over low heat while working on the rest of the recipe.
Finely ground the almonds and pistachios together in a food processor.Pour into a medium size mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar and ground cardomom. Mix well.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small dish. Remove any foam that may appear on the top of the melted butter. This will help ensure you have clarified butter.
Get out the phyllo dough and carefully seperate it into layers. Each sheet used should fit into a 13″ by 8″ space.
Grease and flour a 13″ baking dish. Place 3-4 layers of phyllo dough on the bottom of the pan. Paint the dough with butter, using a pastry brush. Top the layers with 4-5 tablespoons of the nut mixture. Top again with 3-4 layers of phyllo dough. Repeat the butter, nut mixture, dough process until the nut mixture is used entirely. End with 4-5 layers of phyllo dough on top. Slice the baklava into squares or diamonds. Top with the remaining butter and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is a crispy golden brown.
Pour syrup over top and garnish with whole pistachios and powdered sugar.
(SIDE NOTE: If you want a larger baklava, simply double the size of the nut mixture, and count on using almost an entire package of phyllo dough)
Serves 12-16

I just upgraded to Windows 8 Release Preview Build 8400. I am facing problem of Inventor crashing frequently. Does any one have come across such situation, and does any one have a solution to this.
Thanks in advance,
Windows 8 is still a beta product and is not supported for use in actual production environments. Your Autodesk product is not supported on this.
That being said, in most cases, Inventor crashes are due to video card drivers. So, you might consider using a WHQL certified video driver for Windows 7, if you can find one that works.
or use one certified for windows 8
both nvidia and amd have released beta drivers for windows 8

Firm Mortality and Natal Financial Care

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA), Forthcoming
We construct a mortality table for U.S. public companies during 1985–2006. We find that firms' age-specific mortality rates initially increase, peaking at age three, and then decrease with age, implying that the first three years of public life are critical. Financial intermediaries involved around the public birth of a firm — venture capitalists (VCs) and high-quality underwriters — are associated with lower firm mortality rates, sometimes for up to seven years after the IPO. VCs reduce mortality rates more through natal financial care than through selection, whereas high-quality underwriters affect firm mortality more through selection.

Our family always did a lot with the American Cancer Society, until we really got to spend some quality time getting to know some members of the board well. Turns out, big surprise, there's about, oh, ZERO interest in pursuing an actual cure, unless the cure somehow, inconceivably, becomes as profitable as the treatment. Then, the behemoth Livestrong turned out to be a racket too, with the lucrative charity spending NO money on cancer research, but on "PR" and "awareness" instead. ...pretty sure everyone's aware of cancer by now, thanks. How much is Lance getting paid for those appearances? $400,000... Nice priorities ya got there.
It's almost as bad as the faith-based charities we used to donate millions to. By the time my generation went over and worked a few missions, we found workers only administering treatment to those who'd convert to christianity, or attend mass, stop speaking their native languages and only speak english, or even adopt laws laid down by US evangelical churches, village-wide. Laws prohibiting condoms in HIV stricken communities, real ACTUAL witch hunts, unnecessary female circumcisions, death penalty for homosexuals, etc etc etc. As if what the humanitarian crisis really needed was a solid dose of the dark ages. Every time you think you have an idea of how bad it can get, it gets worse.
So now we're down to donating to UW-Madison, Scripps, Docs w/o Borders, Engineers w/o borders, & the Red Cross. They earn every penny of support they get the hard way. I'm glad to see Apple making some (any) gesture of goodwill. It all adds up.
|Dec 4, 2012, 04:11 PM
I hope you have a great holiday season, and on topic, I am thankful companies such as Apple do something to make the world a better place.
|Dec 4, 2012, 04:43 PM
And anger issues? That's awfully presumptuous to assume such based on language of an Internet forum, wouldn't you say? I don't suppose you would correct someone who clearly is disseminating false information, would you now?
Can't disagree with your last comment -- likewise.
|Dec 4, 2012, 08:12 PM
I do not respond to posts that claim others to be ignorant, stupid, paranoid "tin foil hat" wearing, etc. Why would I? Why would anyone? It's pointless. You are insulting, rude, headstrong, judgmental, arrogant - why would I engage you? Remember, it is you who posted to me, and not in kind. I don't want to waste my time with an endless debate with a stranger that has made grandiose assumptions about me based on three comments on a tech website, sorry.
Take care

Is it coincidental that fact that Apple started doing this after Jobs death??? Did he really pass from cancer? Why doesn't Apple partake or have anything to with cancer?
