Expansion at Barajas, Madrid's airport, means that it will be capable of processing up to 700 million visitors and Madrileños a year. The strong of stomach can take long-distance coach services or the trains that run from France, Catalonia and northern Spain, while high-speed AVE trains connect Madrid to Lisbon and the southerly part of the Iberian peninsula.
Madrid's Barajas Airport is 13km (8 miles) north-east of the city on the A2 motorway. Thanks to the new Richard Rogers-designed terminal T4, the airport capacity is expected to reach 700 million passengers per year. All airlines that are members of the OneWorld network (including BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus and American Airlines) will share T4 for national and international flights.
All other traffic is distributed between three existing terminals: non-Spanish airlines and flights on Spanish airlines from non-Schengen-area countries (such as the UK and USA) use T1; domestic flights and Spanish airline flights from Schengen countries use T2; some local flights and the Madrid-Barcelona air shuttle use T3. In T1 and T2 there are 24-hour exchange facilities, ATM machines and hotel booking desks. There is a tourist office and rail reservations desk in T1, two tourist offices in T4.
For airport information, call 902 35 35 70 or 91 393 60 00, or check www.aena.es, which has updated flight info. Phone lines are open 24 hours a day.
Aerocity (91 747 75 70/www.aerocity.com) provides shuttle services between the airport and city-centre hotels. Handy for small groups and cheaper than taking several taxis. Prices (€17-€38) depend on size of group (from one to seven), the location of the hotel (city centre or outskirts) and the number of pieces of luggage in some cases. The company has two reservation desks at the airport (arrivals at T1 and T2 and T4); phonelines are open 24hrs.
Line 200 bus service runs between T1, T2 and T3 and Avenida de América (information 91 406 88 10), while Line 204 runs to T4. Both take between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on the traffic. There are two stops en route. First buses of the day leave Avda de América and Barajas at 6am; they run every 12mins, 6am-11.30pm. A single ticket costs €1. The airport buses are accessible to wheelchairs.
The metro is the cheapest way to get to central Madrid. Bear in mind that the Aeropuerto metro station is between T2 and T3, which means that if, as is very likely, you arrive at T1, you have a 10-15min walk to get there. From T4, take the shuttle to T2 (allow 20mins in total). From the airport it's four stops on metro line 8 (pink) and 12mins to Nuevos Ministerios. On outward journeys, if you are flying with Iberia, Alitalia and some other airlines you can also check in here. From Nuevos Ministerios it's around another 15mins into the centre of Madrid. You can save money by buying a Metrobús ticket at the airport station.
Taxi fares to central Madrid should be around €19-€22 (depending on the traffic), including a €5 airport supplement (no luggage supplement). There are further supplements after 10pm and on Sundays (for both, 18¢ per km). There are lots of taxis at Barajas, but ignore any drivers who approach you inside the building, just use the ones at the ranks outside the terminal. Check the meter is at the current minimum fare (€1.85) when you begin the journey; it's a good idea to check a map first, and to have a landmark in mind in the area to which you are going.

Almost all international and long-distance coach services to Madrid terminate at the Estación Sur de Autobuses, C/Méndez Álvaro to the south of central Madrid (information 91 468 42 00, 91 468 45 11 from 6.30am to midnight; bus companies also have their own information lines). It's next to metro (line 6) and cercanía (local train lines C5, C7 and C10) stations, both also called Méndez Álvaro. Bus 148 also runs from there to the city centre (Plaza del Callao and Plaza de España). Taxi fares from the bus station carry a €2.50 supplement.
Spanish national railways (RENFE) has two main stations in Madrid. Trains from France, Catalonia and northern Spain arrive at Chamartín, on the north side of the city, some distance from the centre. High-speed AVE trains from Andalucía and Valencia, express services from Lisbon and trains from southern and eastern Spain arrive at Atocha, at the southern end of the Paseo del Prado. There are exchange facilities at both stations, and a tourist office at Chamartín. Atocha is also the main hub of RENFE's local rail lines (cercanías) for the Madrid area.
Metro line 10 is the fastest from Chamartín to the city centre, and Atocha RENFE (the train station; not the same metro as Atocha) is four metro stops from Sol on line 1. A taxi fare to the centre from Chamartín should be around €13, including a €2.50 station supplement. There are extra supplements at night and on Sundays (18¢ per km). The same need for caution with cabs at the airport applies to drivers touting for fares at main rail stations.

THE FIRES ARE COMING … How come, almost Pavlovian, we respond to fear like a flock of skittish sheep? Is it hardwired into our reptile brains? Is that why PR marketers and campaign operatives use our fears to manipulate us into actions we often regret? … If I tried to appeal to the communities of Telluride, Norwood and Egnar to become informed and attend an emergency preparedness session about drafting a comprehensive plan to address the threat of catastrophic fire in our county – say, on the scale of the Burn Canyon blaze – few of you would insert an extra evening meeting into your already busy schedules. I know I wouldn't … Except that thanks to your good voting graces, I get paid to attend and to keep you informed of what's important. And the county's CWPP is one of those very important things (that's a Community Wildfire Protection Plan) … It was funny when I tried to explain to my family and friends in California last summer, while taking hospice care of my dad, about why I was stocking up on canned food and bottled water – being prepared (as local authorities recommended) in case of an earthquake. They just laughed. When you live with a threat for a long time, you sometimes get inured. But I felt it made good sense, since I was the sole caretaker for a sick elder, that I not get caught unprepared in an emergency … As Sheriff Bill Masters noted at the Egnar meeting, "Fire is the one emergency we all face living here. Maybe an avalanche, or the occasional mudslide. But fire for sure." So, I would be remiss if I didn't warn you that many, many homes in San Miguel County face a significant risk of damage or destruction from wildfires, especially in a region prone to high lightning strikes … Volunteer fire departments know that, and so they are always trying to educate folks about the need to fireproof yards and secure defensible space around homes. After all it's their lives that are on the line when wildfires threaten private residences … With good planning and some emergency preparedness, the chances of a home surviving, even in a high fire-risk area, are good. So the County, under the able graces of the Sheriff Department's Jennifer Dinsmore has been working with the Anchor Point consultant group to develop a CWPP. The exercise is crucial because it provides baseline data of overall preparedness; provides maps of high risk areas; focuses on the training and equipment holes that need fixes; brings local, regional, state and federal partners together to coordinate planning; and alerts citizens on what can be done in the private sector to protect their valuable real estate investments … Unfortunately, as I was in California until the middle of last week, I couldn't warn you about the Telluride, Norwood and Egnar meetings in this column. And most of you missed out. But I got back in time to attend the last two myself, and it was a real eye-opener, particularly in Egnar, learning about the limited resources and high risk areas (like the Spud Patch) that it will take big bucks to remedy. But the good news is that getting a CWPP done, which the County is on the verge of completing, puts us at the head of the line for state and federal funding, which is coming or is about to become available … One of the first things I'd like to see the County and the three fire districts partner up to do, maybe with the aid of a grant, is to offer screenings of some very informative videos on defensible space such as those done by the Forest Service's Dr. Jack Cohen, "Preventing Home Ignitions" (for a brief look at a piece of that video, go to www.californiachaparral.com/bprotectingyourhome.html) … But why would anyone want to go see the videos, a.k.a. attend another meeting? Because we'd offer attendees the carrot of a free home inspection that could identify what remedies you could make to protect your home from a wildfire. And then you could choose what to do, knowing exactly what a fire expert had recommended … So, what can you, as a homeowner do, having missed the public meetings on the draft CWPP? You can, until Dec. 2, take a very short online survey that will help you understand some of the issues and which will help the County prepare a final CWPP. Go to the County website www.sanmiguelcounty.org and click on the tab that says NEWS and choose from two surveys, one for the east end and one for the west end … Having had a home burn down some 25+ years ago, I can promise you – it's not an experience you want to add to your life list.
WILLOW IN ASIA … My oldest daughter, Iris Willow, has been teaching English as a second language in Vientiane, Laos, for the last six months. Her boyfriend, Bert Fan, got tapped to work for the Obama campaign in Boston (he's a computer whiz) and so, for the first time in her life, she's been living alone. During a semester break from teaching, she got to travel by herself to the Sabah region of Borneo, the third largest island in the world (part of Malaysia). I'll be running an edited account of her travels in installments, like this.
KUALA LUMPUR … "My first stopover was the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur where I spent one night and the later part of an afternoon exploring the city, which felt gigantic coming from little ol' Vientiane. I was dazed and dazzled by the skyscrapers, shopping malls, corporate logos, highways, MacDonald's, Starbucks and Sky Train. It was closer to a western city than I'd seen in awhile, but there were still many distinctive signs of Islamic culture around Kuala Lumpur that set it apart from the other Asian cities I've visited. There were many beautiful mosques dotting the skyline and throughout the city I saw many Malay women dressed in traditional Malay clothes, the baju kurung – a knee-length, loose, long sleeved shirt over a long, loose, ankle-length skirt, that reminded me of pajamas. Some women also wore head scarves. A few of the baju kurungs were of plain white or black, but the majority were made of bright, often wildly colored fabrics … While in Kuala Lumpur, I walked to the glass clad Petronas twin towers and the antenna topped Kuala Lumpur Tower that stand out in the city's skyline. Then I spent the evening wandering around Little India looking at fabric stores filled with saris, rug shops, and lamp shops. I topped the night off with some Indian curry and a couple mango lassis."

NONENHANCED POULTRY (per 4 ounces raw)
Sodium: 45 to 70mg
Fine print says: "Contains 1 to 5% retained water." (This is water that may be absorbed during the chilling process; it's not injected, and no salt is added.) ENHANCED POULTRY (per 4 ounces raw)
Sodium: 330 to 440mg
Fine print says: "Enhanced with up to 15% chicken broth, salt, and carrageenan."
"As American as boneless, skinless chicken breast" doesn't have quite the same ring to it as "American as apple pie," but it's far more appropriate: We eat an average of 87 pounds of chicken per year, up 81% from 48 pounds in 1980. This makes the plumping practice in poultry processing even more troubling.
About one-third of the fresh chicken found in supermarket meat cases has been synthetically saturated with a mix of water, salt, and other additives via needle injections and high-pressure vacuum tumbling. The process is designed to make naturally lean poultry meat juicier and more tender. A 4-ounce serving of what the industry calls "enhanced" poultry can contain as much as 440mg sodium. That's nearly one-fifth of the current 2,300mg daily sodium allotment—from a source you'd never suspect.
Worse, it's 500% more sodium than is found naturally in untreated chicken. Yet the word "natural" can be used on the labels of these injected birds. USDA labeling policies give poultry companies a green light to label their enhanced products "100% natural" or "all natural," even though they've been injected with ingredients in concentrations that do not naturally occur in a chicken. (Like many foods, chicken contains trace amounts of sodium and other minerals.)
With injections totaling 15% or more of the meat's weight, a 7-pound enhanced chicken might net only 6 pounds of meat. Do the math: At $2.99 per pound, you've paid a premium of up to $0.45 per pound for added salt and water. Each year, this costs Americans about $2 billion, according to the Truthful Labeling Coalition, a trade group started by poultry producers who want to put an end to misleading labels on enhanced products.
At a time when sodium consumption has risen to the top of public health issues—and when at press time we expected to hear soon about a government move to lower sodium recommendations—here's an example of salt being needlessly added to fresh, whole foods.
Processors are required to disclose the injections, but the lettering on the packaging can be small and inconspicuous. To know if you're picking up an enhanced product, squint at the fine print, which will list something like, "contains up to 15% chicken broth." You can also check the ingredient list, and, of course, look for the sodium content on the Nutrition Facts label. If the chicken is truly natural, the sodium content won't stray higher than 70mg per serving.
What you do with your chicken or turkey once you get it home is another story. However, at that point you are consciously choosing to add sodium, and you can control the amount you use. Seasoning a chicken breast with 1/8 teaspoon salt will add 250mg sodium—a healthier choice that you'll be much happier making if that same chicken breast doesn't come preloaded with 440mg of the salty stuff.

- Studio: Paramount Pictures
- Release Date: Jan 25, 2013
- Starring: Gemma Arterton, Jeremy Renner, Peter Stormare
- Summary: Catching up with Hansel and Gretel 15 years after their incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into bounty hunters who hunt witches.
- Director: Tommy Wirkola
- Genre(s): Action, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 24
Mixed: 7 out of 24
Negative: 16 out of 24
Wirkola tears through Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters with such giddy abandon, it ends up being splattery fanboy fun. Preposterous, clearly, but fun.
The film is smart enough not to wear out its welcome. But that's the only sign of true intelligence in this juvenile caper.
This genre stew throws in so many ingredients - including sundry body parts that are cut off and go flying, and heads that explode - that the result is a tasteless mash-up that's hard to stomach.
In an age of zombies, werewolves and oversexed vampires, teens won't be shaking in their Uggs over ugly women with bad teeth flying around on brooms, and with its graphic depictions of tortures, mutilations, gang rapes and myriad examples of child abuse, it's no longer a fairy tale suitable for children.
In his English-language debut, Wirkola dabbles in everything but commits to nothing, making for an unmemorable brew best left untasted.
Score distribution:
Positive: 39 out of 73
Mixed: 10 out of 73
Negative: 24 out of 73
Jan 25, 2013Not sure why this is getting such low reviews. It's a FUN movie, plain and simple. Just sit back and enjoy the cheesy one-liners and watching people get blown up. No, it's not a 10, but I gave it one to counter the unnecessarily low rating.
Oh, and, this is coming from someone who thought that Zero Dark Thirty and The Master were two of the best movies of last year.… Expand
May 19, 2013Cool weapons, many blood, and whol movie is full of action. I really recomend this movie to everyone because it's SOOOO FUN TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!WATCH IT NOW!… Expand
Mar 15, 2013Silly, violent and ridiculously great fun! Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters stays true to its title in the best possible way and really brings in the witch fighting awesomeness. With plenty of humour and bloody violence, this film is definitely one of the most fun 3D films in a while and will be enjoyed by fans of horror, fantasy and comedy alike.… Expand
Jan 25, 2014This movie was alright. I feel it could have been made a little more intriguing than what it was. The acting was good, but there wasn't as much action as I had initially intended. Not only that, but I felt that the movie dragged on. So would i recommend it? Most likely not, but if you got nothing to do, sit down and watch it, you might enjoy it.… Expand
Apr 10, 2014"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" is yet another failed attempt to convert a child's tale into an adult-oriented action movie. Following in the footsteps of such films as "Red Riding Hood" and "Snow White and the Huntsman," the movie completely misses the mark.
Filled with modern humor and lingo, "Hansel & Gretel" completely breaks the illusion of taking place in what the environment suggests is the Middle Ages. If this wasn't enough, the two are fully equipment with a high-tech, witch-hunting arsenal (including, of course, a Gatling gun).
Overall, I would rate the movie as a low F.… Expand
Jan 26, 2013My eyes! My eyes! Oh the humanity! I'll never be able to unsee the horror I've just been witness to. Yes some people in the theater enjoyed the movie, but they also wear helmets in public and are otherwise mouthbreathers. I'm not sure what Hollywood was shooting for with this movie, I just wonder if they are happy with this effort. Sometimes I wish they would just admit defeat and not release a movie like this. I won't bother to itemize the flaws of the film as well...everything was bad.… Expand

San Jose >Food & Dining > Scott's Seafood
185 Park Ave Ste 6, San Jose, CA | Directions 9511337.331441 -121.891852
Monday To Friday From 11:30 AM To 05:00 PM Monday To Saturday From 05:00 PM To 10:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Central San Jose, Central
Not much... – Boring, outdated, not at all pleasurable or tasty. Oh, bad service as well.
Avoid at All Cost – Pricey menu. Unprofessional staff (waitress slouching against wall and railing while talking and hostess seemed bored). Unattentive staff even though restaurant was eeriely empty on Saturday night 8pm. Clam chowder was bad. Lobster risotto was undercooked (was told ridicuoulus excuse for that). Paid $90 all together - totally not worth it. Look somewhere else.
Delicious! – I love dining at Scott's Seafood. The interior is simple and welcoming. The staffs are friendly and polite. We ordered a cocktail named Scott's Rose Bud and it has a great aroma of rose, even though it was too bitter for our taste. We also have the Boston Clam Chowder, Fresh Dungeness Crab Cakes, Seafood Salad (extremely fresh and healthy), and Dungeness Crab Cioppino (seafood stew). They are all super delicious (especially the Seafood Salad) and great for sharing (huge portion).
One Of The Best Seafood in SJ – I've been to Scott's several times and Scotts is one of the best Seafood Restaurants in San Jose. The food is good and has a good view overlooking downtown SJ. The service there is spotty. I've been there where the service is great, attentive, & fast and times when I was greeted by the matradee smacking her gum and chewing it as she showed us our table and the water and bread service was slow. The seafood there always taste fresh, portion sizes big, and they use unique sauces and vegetables to add flavor to the dishes. Prices are on the high side: $7-$12 for Salads & Appetizers, $20-$28 for entrees, & $30+ for steaks and Lobsters. If you are looking for good seafood in San Jose and don't mind spending a bit for good, fresh, seafood, with unique tastes, then I would recommend Scotts.
A classic seafood restaurant that draws loyal locals for its famed clam chowder, fresh fish and dry-aged steaks. – The Scene
Scott's offers a quiet, romantic and leisurely dining experience in an elegant setting. During workday lunch hours, the restaurant attracts a serious executive crowd that talks business over halibut and iced tea. In the evening, the mood becomes laid-back as well-dressed locals turn out for prawn cocktail and cosmos.
The Food
Start with a heaping order of crisply fried, still-chewy calamari accompanied by a lightly tangy lemon-and-shallot dipping sauce. The creamy Boston clam chowder is a house specialty, but the soup of the day--especially if it's the creamy summer squash--is often better. For a main course, try the buttery grilled halibut, a moist, flaky filet served with lemon mashed potatoes, artichoke hearts and arugula. Served slightly rare, the thick swordfish steak is a silky treasure encrusted in macadamia nuts. Finish up with a classic sundae topped in luscious warm chocolate sauce.

It had worked perfectly until my iPhone suddenly switched off, and I've always been in this inifinite recovery loop.
I rebooted it with blackra1n, and voila, back to square one, I could not find my home wifi signal and I presume, ANY wifi hotspot.
How the hell do I fix this problem now? It did have this problem, I got it fixed, but I just can't be bothered to go back the shop, so, how do I fix this myself?

I was 19 the first time I tried it. It was during those experimental college years, where peer pressure makes you do things you wouldn't normally do. Things I wouldn't dream of doing now - like staying up past 11 for no reason, going to football games and taking a Country Western Social Dance class. (Actually that last one is a lie. I'd totally take it again if I could. It was completely fun and I'm not even that into country music.)
Another thing college introduced me to was all kinds of incredibly tasty and very bad-for-you foods, usually late at night.
One of those foods was spinach artichoke dip.
My roommates were the ones who convinced me I needed to try it. "It's delicious," they said. "And good for you because it has spinach and artichokes in it." (I'm fairly certain that none of us had ever had a nutrition class.) I did try it, and of course, I loved it. What's not to love? It's creamy and cheesy with the tangy flavor of artichokes and the earthy flavor of spinach. You dip bread in it. What could be better than that? I was hooked.
For years I fed my addiction until the sad day when I calculated the calories in spinach artichoke dip. And cried. My roommates were completely wrong. It wasn't all that good for me. I hid my recipe for it and tried to forget I had ever tasted spinach artichoke dip. Then I had an epiphany after seeing a post from my friend Britney. It was a spinach artichoke casserole. Sheer genius, really. Since whenever I eat spinach artichoke dip I eat a meal's worth of it anyway, why not beef it up and actually have it for dinner?
Anything with the word "casserole" in it doesn't fly with my husband (I think he can even sense when I'm thinking of calling something a casserole) so after brainstorming a bit I went a slightly different route and made pasta. I took a favorite spinach artichoke dip recipe, made it a little creamier and more "saucy" (Everything is better more saucy, isn't it?) and lightened it up slightly by substituting lower fat cream cheese and sour cream. The end result was bowl of pasta with a thick creamy sauce with plenty of tangy artichoke and earthy spinach flavor and less of the guilt. A spinach artichoke dish I could eat for dinner.
If only it were as easy to feed my craving for the cinnamon breadsticks with cream cheese dipping sauce I loved so much in college.

Can't be sure, but it was most likely your fill valve, which opens to allow water to refill the tank after each flush.
The cause could be a bit more elusive. Sometimes, not having the valve for the water supply at the wall open all the way can cause something like this. Sometimes, it's water pressure that's too high. Sometimes, some bit of crud may have lodged in an important area of the valve and cause the vibration. There are other possibilities as well, depending upon the valve type.
I had a similar experience with the valve on my toilet, starting a few weeks after it was installed. It was intermittent, but I just swapped the valve for a brand I preferred and it solved the problem.
That your problem disappeared could indicate that whatever it was has resolved itself for now. If you don't have any symptoms at the moment, I would say, "It ain't broke, so don't try to fix it."
If it recurs, come back to us with more information about the type of toilet and valve, and we can give you some advice about maybe cleaning it or, if necessary, replacing it, which is almost always about a ten-minute job.

Great Present!
I bought the Star Wars Jedi Adult Towelling Bathrobe (One Size) for my dad for his birthday, and he loves it! The oversized hood and arms do make it look like a real Jedi robe. I was worried about the size, as my dad is quite tall, but it is a great fit on him! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who loves Star Wars.
Use the force
I bought this Star Wars Jedi Adult Towelling Bathrobe along with the Special FX sabre as an extra gift and they've both proven to be a hit with my husband! Even more so than the more expensive gifts I bought for him! As other reviewers of the Jedi robe the only issue I have with the purchase of these two items is before receiving these he'd always said that he had a sneaking suspicion he was a Jedi ... now he knows he is a Jedi. I've not seen him smile as much in ages! Buy both for an adult who loves Star Wars and they're sure to be a hit!
I bought this Jedi Adult Towelling Bathrobe for my friend for his birthday and all I have to say is wow, its amazing! Bear in mind that this bloke is 6ft 3, and XL and there is still loads of room. Obviously it does not reach the floor with him but he looks so cute with it on. Im really happy I got this, I think I may even get one for myself (even if I will look like Yoda).
A great gift for a star wars fan!
Not only does this Star Wars Jedi Adult Towelling Bathrobe deliver an immense Jedi feel, it is also a genuinely good quality item! Before ordering I was a little concerned whether the one-size fits all would actually be big enough, however once it had arrived I was pleasantly surprised. What's better is that for taller people like myself (6,3") it fits! And by 'fits' I mean that it is still baggy (which for a dressing gown is a good thing). As soon as you pull the hood up, you can't help but feel like a real Jedi. Unfortunately this robe also provides the wearer with a false sense of overconfidence, to a point where you actually begin to believe that you can lift objects with your mind... you can't, and this is my only gripe. An added bonus of this product is that when short individuals try it on, the robe also doubles as a Jawa costume.
When you wear this Star Wars Fleece Bathrobe you feel cool. I don't mean cool in a 'I'm gonna go out to a trendy nightclub and be a hit with the ladies' sort of way (I wish I lived in that world). To be honest, how could you not feel cool in this? I got some strange looks in the office wearing this but then again, they really should expect this sort of thing by now. P.S. You may attempt Jedi powers when wearing this, if you succeed please let me know how.

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 12 November, 2012
Quotations about Liberty and Power
About this Quotation:
This chapter in the Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) might be seen as Adam Smith's strategy for achieving political and social change. He contrasts two different approaches to achieving change which emerge from "the turbulence and disorder of faction", namely those embued with "the spirit of system" who wish to change society root and branch by imposing their "plan of government" upon the whole of society by force if necessary, and the man "of humanity and benevolence" who, although he is aware of abuses and injustices, knows that change must proceed slowly by moderating those abuses gradually and avoiding the use of violence wherever possible. The "man of system" sees the world as a large "chess board" with pieces which can be moved around at the will of the legislator. The man of "humanity and benevolence" sees that every chess piece "has a principle of motion of its own, altogether different from that which the legislature might chuse to impress upon it". The problem Smith does not address here is that which was faced in America in 1776 and France in 1789, what is the man of "humanity and benevolence" do when confronted by a state which refuses to allow gradual and piecemeal change?

Adam Smith (1723-1790) contrasts two different ways by which the evils of society might be reformed: the "man of humanity and benevolence" who uses reason and persuasion and "the man of system" who imposes his own "ideal plan of government" on others by force:

links for 25 August 2008 – What games can learn from social software
There's a strange piece of slow glass between the web industry and the games industry. It's strange because whilst stuff passes through it in both directions, it seems to move faster towards the web, and slower towards games. In the past 2-3 years, there's been a lot of talk in web software about making applications more playful and gamelike. Now that people have done that – and succeeded – I guess it's an appropriate time to return the favour.(tags: interactiondesign play socialmedia games gamedesign)

District Photographic Competitions
> Competitions Home > District Competition Map
Entering your local district competition is one of the best ways to push yourself to be more. You'll learn where you stand—how your photography matches up with your peers. You'll learn about the 12 elements of a merit image, and start incorporating them into your daily photography. You'll learn what it takes to create a merit image, and if you stick with it, work your way up to the Loan Collection.
You'll learn you're capable of so much more than you imagined. It's perfectly normal to be a little nervous going in, but don't be afraid of getting better.
It's easy to get involved. First, find your district. Then, fine-tune your four best images and submit either prints or digital copies.
And if you can, make sure you attend the judging. All photographic competitions are open to the public, and it's the best way to maximize your learning potential. Whether you've entered images or not, watching is a great way to grasp what the judges are looking for. The PPA-approved jurors are some of the best in the business—photographers who truly care about raising the bar in the industry. You can even pick their brains during breaks!
Find Your District & Wow Them!
As a PPA member, you're assigned a district based on where you live (Southwest, Northcentral, Western, Northeast, Southeast and Asia Pacific). Don't know yours? Check out this handy map.

Seals of Approval & Merit Images
Earn a score of 80 or above at a district competition, and you will receive a Seal of Approval. A "sealed image" is often referred to like a "merit image," but it requires an extra step to get that merit. You will earn one merit when your sealed image is entered in the next International Photographic Competition. (It will also automatically be accepted as part of the General Collection.) Remember: You must enter that sealed image in the next International Photographic Competition BEFORE you can earn the merit.

Down & Dirty
Down & Dirty: Shelling Peas, Snow Peas, Snap Peas
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which Nozlee Samadzadeh breaks down our favorite seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more by the numbers.
Peas! Today we're talking about peas, which are so ubiquitous as a readily-available frozen food that it's almost hard to remember that they are fleetingly in season come early summer. There are three major varieties of peas, and we'll be talking about them separately:
1. Shelling Peas (also called English peas or garden peas)
2. Snow Peas
3. Snap Peas (also called sugar snap peas)
Before we get started -- aren't these cross-sections beautiful? -- a little bit about starches and sugars. All of these peas develop an intense sweetness as they mature. If left on the plant for too long, those sugars are converted into starches: fibrous and tough, with less flavor. Always make sure your peas are fresh and young -- and preferably recently picked. The sugars in these plants also begin to degrade into starch after harvest, which is why the sweetest snap pea is one that you eat from the vine!
Shelling Peas
1(a). The Pods - To open a pea pod, pull down on the stem to string it and gently push out the attached peas. Shelling a pound of peas can take a while, so enlist a friend and get some gossip in while you work! (We halved this pod with a knife just for show, so don't do that.)
1(b). Buying Guide - When you're buying shelling peas at market, look for firm, round pods 3-4 inches long that rattle just a little when you shake them. They should be smoothly green and unblemished -- the peas hit peak sweetness and then rapidly become starchy, so avoid older-looking pods.
1(c). The Peas - Fresh peas should be blanched before serving. It takes less than a minute, so be sure to have a big bowl of ice water ready to stop the cooking after you drain them! And don't toss that pod -- they make a lovely, light spring stock when simmered in a few cups of water.
Snow Peas
2(a). The Pods - Snow peas should be stringed, too, although if they're young enough you won't need to. Snow peas are eaten whole, pod and all, and they're good raw, blanched, or blistered in a wok -- many Asian recipes call for snow peas.
2(b). The Peas - Because they're eaten whole, snow peas are harvested long before the peas inside reach maturity -- when buying them, look for very small, flat seeds. The pods themselves range from 2 to 3 inches.
Snap Peas
3(a). The Pods - The best snap peas can be eaten raw: sweet, crunchy, and perfectly bite-sized. Slightly larger ones should be blanched or sauteed (after being stringed as for the other peas). Because you're eating the whole pod, look for pretty snap peas with no nicks or bruises.
3(b). History - Snap peas (also called sugar snap peas) are actually a man-made hybrid! They were developed by Calvin Lamborn in the 1970s when he wanted a pea that could be eaten raw or cooked. All peas are open pollinators, so with a little bit of time and care he was able to cross-pollinate snow peas with other pea plants to get the sugar snap. Remember learning about genes with Mendeleev's pea experiments? Snap peas are genetics in action!
3(c). The Peas - The inside of a snap pea looks like the inside of a shelling pea if the pod was shrunken down and given much thinner skin. If, perchance, your snap peas grow too big and tough, you can always shell them and cook the peas separately.
With mutliple ways to eat peas both cooked and raw, you can use them in a huge variety of recipes. Here are three of our favorites: a crowd-pleasing chicken salad with rice noodles, lemon-chili sugar snaps with breadcrumbs, and peas just barely simmered in mint cream.

What happens if you let the peas in snowpeas mature into full sized peas? Not good for eating anymore?

When shelling peas are really fresh, I don't even cook them. I eat them raw, straight out of the pod. Gennaro's, our neighborhood restaurant when we're in NYC (Amsterdam Ave. in the low 90s), has a seasonal salad of fresh raw shelling peas mixed with shaved ricotta salata, very thinly sliced red onion, coarse salt, and aceto balsamico that's been reduced. SO good.

I kind of love the idea of fresh peas rattling when you shake them. Pea rattles.

Back in February, we announced the Boba Fett table within the Star Wars Pinball game. The standalone game, Star Wars Pinball, includes the Star Wars Episode V, Boba Fett and Clone Wars tables we've seen before.
While it's a standalone application from the Apple App Store and Google Play, it's currently downloadable content within these games:
Joystiq has more details:
Players can choose to contribute their high scores to either the Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance, with the game's interface changing dynamically depending on the global balance of power. The game will be Cross-Buy enabled at $9.99/€9.99, though anyone who already owns these tables in Zen Pinball 2 can download the new solo app for free. Likewise, anyone that purchases Star Wars Pinball will unlock the equivalent tables in Zen Pinball 2.
Don't miss the hint for the Boba Fett game released on the Zen Studios blog post:
Assist Boba Fett in completing two sets of bounties, or table missions, in an effort to gain RESPECT and secure his spot as the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy. To activate the Galactic Empire bounties, spell out the word EMPIRE by shooting the middle-left orbit. Activate the HUTTS bounties by shooting the sinkhole under the seesaw ramp. Just watch out for the Sarlacc pit!

Green & Black's Maya Gold
Name: Maya Gold
It's strange, but I got this bar (two different sizes) as a gift from two different people the same week. They've got good taste (thanks Ruth & Jay)! I'd first tried Green & Black's last Thanksgiving when my sister-in-law brought a box of the little medallions to dinner. They were super, and not at all grainy like some other organic chocolates I'd tried.
Green & Black also uses Fair Trade suppliers for their cocoa and also organic. Green & Black was purchased by Cadbury Schweppes earlier this year.
This bar is a little different because it's flavored. Maya Gold is dark chocolate with orange and spices. Think of that orange spice tea. The chocolate is smooth, rather sweet but doesn't overpower the chocolate flavors. The main spicy flavor note that I detect is clove, which I don't normally like, but it works well with orange. There's a little hint of vanilla and perhaps some nutmeg.
Overall, it's not my favorite flavor of chocolate, but the consistency of the chocolate itself is very good. Not quite as buttery as the Chocovic last week, but sweeter and I can see myself eating more of this in one sitting.
Other reading - here's more about G&B's Fair Trade Maya Gold bar.

The Mysterious Cup-O-White Gold
Name: Peppermint Cup-O-Gold
This candy cup has left me mystified. Is it really from Adams-Brooks? They don't mention it on their website ... no one mentions it on their website on any of the internets. Have I stumbled across an inter-dimensional 99 cent store that sells candy unknown to us here?
Why is it called Cup-o-Gold anyway? The center is clearly white. The package is silver ... these things trouble me. But not enough to keep me from eating it.
Like the original Cup-O-Gold, this milk chocolate cup sports toasted coconut and almond bits in the chocolate. The ratio of chocolate to the filling is a little off. Upon my first small bite (not pictured), I didn't hit filling, just chocolate. The second bite, which was sizeable (like the photo) didn't hit filling. Finally on the fourth bite which by now meant half the cup was gone, I hit a small hidden cavity of filling. Instead of a light, frothy filling like the Cup-O-Gold, this one was a little tacky, a little stiff. The mint was barely perceptible.
I bought this thinking it'd be like a milk chocolate Junior Mint - a gooey minty cream center. Alas, the coconut competes too much with the scant mint. If there were less chocolate and more filling, perhaps it wouldn't seem so overpowering. However, the package does say thick rich milk chocolate, so who am I to go expecting things not advertised?

Out of Africa come some chocolatey nuts
Name: Out of Africa Macadamia Nut Chocolates
I don't think I've had a better story to accompany a candy for this blog than this one. The short story is a friend, Will, went to Africa and brought me this candy.
The long (and great) story that goes with it is one of the internet, passions and following dreams. Will and I met while writing novels (actually we met while drinking coffee and procrastinating writing novels) and have gone on to have many adventures together like walking the Los Angeles Marathon, writing more novels, hiking to the bridge to nowhere and a half a dozen photo safaris.
Well, damn if he didn't go off and go on a real life safari and take a gazillion photos with his new bride viewing African wildlife. And damn if he wasn't sweet, and brought me something I'd probably never have otherwise:
Inside this cute little box that looks like something someone would bring back from an African safari, including the name, "Out of Africa." Inside is a plump macadamia nut covered in sweet milk chocolate. Simplicity itself. Thank goodness those candy makers realize that this will spend its time in a suitcase and they've packaged the candies in a little tray. Sweet!
I had three for breakfast this morning (and two when I took the photos). Only one left!

Hot Stinky Feet
Name: Hot Stinky Feet
This is one of those candies that tries to be edgy but really isn't. They're little cinnamon jelly candies and they happen to be shaped like feet and they happen to have the unfortunate name "Hot Stinky Feet."
Here's what the package says (because I couldn't find any mention of it on Necco's site):
The feet themselves are actually pretty cute. The detail even includes a big toenail. They're definitely cinnamony - upon opening the package there was no doubt what flavor these are. They're kind of like Hot Tamales, only without the candy shell.
Personally, if I were marketing these I couldn't call them Hot Stinky Feet. I'd probably call them "Hot Foot" and have a little image of a foot with some lit matches or something. But maybe some over-protective group thought that'd give kids some bad ideas. Anyway, I couldn't find any mention of these on the Necco site, but did find the good podiatrist's website called Toefood - which is kinda cute too. The Stinky Feet also come in Sour Apple.
Rating - 7 out of 10 (I did eat the whole package, but I doubt I'll buy them again)

Filbert Friday
Name: Krachnuss
Before I had a candy blog I had trouble getting people to bring me gifts from their travels. Maybe I was too embarrassed to actually ask for candy from other countries, but now it's a given that if any of my friends (hell, friend's friends) goes anywhere interesting, they are tasked with bringing something back.
At first the name was kind of scary. Krachnuss sounds like "knuckle cracker" to me. And that hazelnut on the package? It's bigger than a chestnut. However, open up the wrapper and it's pure delight.
Those are whole hazelnuts in there. It makes for a rather lumpy bar and the hazelnuts are poorly distributed, but man are they good! Not roasted too long, they have an excellent snap and slightly sweet tinge to their nuttiness. The milk chocolate is sweet and smooth and doesn't try to upstage the delicate hazelnuts. I love hazelnuts, by the way (or filberts as they're called in the Pacific Northwest) and love how they're the peanuts of Europe. Even the packages, which give information about possible allergens only mention soy and almonds - there's no note about any peanuts.
Name: Ragusa
Over the past few weeks the topic of Ice Cubes has come up a few times. At a party, in my interview on Radio Open Source and when Jay gave me this candy bar. For those of you not familiar with Ice Cubes, they're a little chocolate cubes made with hazelnut paste. However, the pernicious part about them is that the first ingredient is hydrogenated coconut oil. I'm lucky my arteries are still open. My first year in the dorms in college there was a little store on campus that let you use your meal card to buy food - I bought a tub of 100 of these (probably cost me the equivalent of 10 meals). Though I love them, I've been trying to resist them ever since then.
Well, along comes a Ragusa bar, and thank goodness the Swiss have made a more wholesome version. You can't tell from the photo, but the bar is about 5 inches long, 1 inch wide and 3/4" high, and pretty dense for its volume. This little bar is filled with a smooth and cool truffley filling and studded with whole hazelnuts. (If this sounds good, you might also want to try Perugina's Baci.) Man, this is a good breakfast. The nuts give it just enough of a protein balance to keep the sugar charged filling from causing glycemic overload.
The bar is a bit messy to eat. It's wrapped in a thick aluminum foil and the chocolate coating only covers the top and bottom, so the sides get kind of sticky. I still haven't managed to get to the end of the bar and master popping the last of it out of the wrapper. It's also been a bit warm here in Southern California the past few days and I wasn't keeping this in the fridge, so on top of its natural softness, it's downright limp. I might just go get a spoon.

Single Origin Chocolate
Name: Unique Origin Ocumare & Guaranda
This is not a new product to me, however, I've gotten a couple of notes (one email and one comment) to review this, so here goes. My husband bought a set of three of the unique origins bars one year before vacation and we took them with us to rocky beaches, windswept dunes and rolling oak-dotted hills of the central Californian coast, so any pleasant past associations with the bars must be taken into account.
The bars in question were from the cocoa crop of 2004. The freshness date said they were best before 04/2007.
First was the Guaranda, which is 71% cocoa solids of forastero arriba cocoa from Ecuador. The tasting notes on the back: "Perfumed aroma with fruity, acid notes and floral tones of acacia honey, with milky and exotic wood nuances. Typical personality of the cocoa bean: smooth dark chocolate taste with floral tones of honeyed character." The ingredients are simple: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter and soya lecithin.
My tasting notes: the scent is woodsy, smoky and a bit like coffee. The surface is smooth and shiny (better than the photo) with a red hint to it. Upon biting into it, it snaps easily and melts quickly on the tongue. The cocoa mass is very smooth, not at all gritty. It's very dry yet the cocoa butter gives it a slippery, cool feeling on the tongue. I don't detect much of the honey notes, but the butteryness gives it a sort of empty feeling, like there's a top and bottom but no middle flavors.
Next was Ocumare, which is 71% cocoa solids of criollo cocoa from Venuzuela. The tasting notes on the back: "Smooth perfumed aroma with tones of exotic wood, nuts and dried fruit as well as spicy nuances. Refined and lasting taste, balanced and round at the same time. Also, aspects of cedar, tobacco and dried plums are particularly noteworthy." The ingredients are the same as the first: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter and soya lecithin.
My tasting notes: the smell is woodsy with more of a fruit note to it, perhaps apple. The color is a dark and consistent brown with a good snap to the bite. It immediately starts to melt on the tongue. It has a rounder flavor just as the package suggests with more middle notes of sweet apple or apricot (I'm not catching the plum here). It's a much fuller flavor from top to bottom with absolutely no grain to it. Towards the end there's less of a dry finish but a nice lingering woodsy note.
For high end 70%+ bars, I think these are the best I've tried to date. Though the single origin means that you may never get these bars again, they're wonderfully balanced with an excellent smoothness. I do think overall that I prefer a blended chocolate to get the full-bodied taste with a multitude of notes (like a chorus instead of a soloist) but if you hadn't told me that they were single origins, I could still state unequivocally that these are good bars. Where I find so many upscale bars lacking in the cocoa butter/smoothness factor, these bars excel at the melting and without any graininess at all.
I wouldn't say that they're worth more than $3.50 per bar though, like you might be charged some places. So if you can get them at a Trader Joe's or other similar economical location (maybe Cost Plus carries them), they are the best $2 you can spend on a high-cocoa content bar.
Interesting facts from the package: Chocovic is based in Barcelona, Spain and has been in business since 1872.

Icons for You!
I decided to create a new icon for my chat program.
Here are some others, feel free to take them and use them.
Ear Candy
Once again, I will be doing a radio interview. This time with a program called Radio Open Source. It will be broadcast live (yee!) at 4PM to 5PM Pacific time (check their site for stations that might carry it near you). You can also hear a live stream (and call in!), on XM channel 133, or catch it later in the archived broadcast (or subscribe to the podcast).
The coolest part is the OTHER guest on the show is Steve Almond, author of Candy Freak (I promise, I'll write a review soon, which I can sum up here as, "Good! Go read it!") The topic is basically about candy and its role in our everyday lives - I think some people think that candy is fixed entity but it really changes with us through the years. Our tastes as individuals change and our tastes as a society change. Things we loved as a kid have come and gone, and yet others were eaten by our grandparents and may be consumed by our grandkids. Threads that bind the generations.
What's cool about Open Source is that things are transparent. They put up a blog entry on a show that they're "warming up" and you get to comment and help shape the focus of the hour, then the show goes "on deck" and they show you their pre-interview notes and then folks can comment. Then they do the show and it stays in "recently aired" for folks to continue the conversation (great if you don't catch the live show or stream but still want to add something).
So, here's your chance to talk about candy!

Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To advance the public health of western Ohio and beyond by providing interdisciplinary graduate education, research, service, and leadership.
Our Vision
To be the Master of Public Health degree program of choice for professionals who are committed to community and global health leadership.
The Wright State University Master of Public Health degree program has been accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health.
Southwest Ohio's First M.P.H. Program
The Wright State University Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree program incorporates a community-based, interdisciplinary educational program in public health through a combination of colleges and schools. Students can select one of four specialty areas:
The program is responsive to the educational needs of working public health and other health services professionals in southwestern Ohio who serve more than 2.8 million residents.
Education that Fits with Your Career and Family Commitments
The program has been carefully designed for in-career professionals as well as traditional undergraduate students. Students must complete a minimum of 42 semester hours for completion. While the core curriculum is grounded in traditional classroom instruction, web-based learning enhances the program. Courses are offered in the evenings and through technology-enhanced methods. The program can be completed in two and a half years by taking a full-time graduate course load of six hours per semester. All students complete a field placement and applied project or problem paper.
Collaborative in Design with Multiprofessional Learning
The WSU M.P.H. program is operated in partnership with 28 health districts throughout Southwest Ohio and seven academic divisions within Wright State University, and in cooperation with the University of Cincinnati.
Tuition and Fees
The cost of the M.P.H. program will be graduate tuition (subject to change) and a program fee ($145 per credit hour) that covers the cost of administration and facilities.
How to Apply
To be admitted to the M.P.H. program, students must first be accepted into the WSU Graduate School in regular status. Minimum graduate school requirements include an earned bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 2.7 (based on a 4.0 grading scale). Applicants to the M.P.H. program also must send an official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score to the Graduate School (minimum score accepted is Verbal at 350/143 [revised test] and Quantitative at 455/143 [revised test]). Applicants who have taken the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) may submit those scores in place of the GRE to the Graduate School. Applicants with an earned graduate or advanced professional degree from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States or Canada do not need to submit GRE scores. Note: The USMLE and ECFMG will not be considered in lieu of the GRE.
You must apply online to the Graduate School. Official transcripts from all universities or colleges attended should be addressed to the Graduate School, Wright State University, 3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy., Dayton, OH 45435-0001.
In addition to applying for admission to the Graduate School, applicants should submit the following materials to the Lori Metivier, M.P.H. program coordinator, at the address below. Note: International applicants must send their personal statement, resume, and letters of reference to the Graduate School.
- A personal statement articulating your career goals as related to the completion of the M.P.H. Your personal statement should not exceed 500 words.
- Two letters of recommendation from professionals who can speak to your professional or academic experience.
- A current resume or CV.
- A completed M.P.H. Supplemental Application form to help the program track your application to the Graduate School. You may submit the application online or download and complete the application as a PDF file.
The M.P.H. program only matriculates students as a cohort each Fall semester; students may apply for other semesters only with prior approval from the program. To be considered for fall admission, students should complete their applications by April 1.
Pre-Admission Interview
Applicants being recommended for admission may be asked to meet with the M.P.H. program director, or designee, prior to final admission determination.
