Bechamel Sauce
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
From Giada De Laurentiis Everyday Italian. She says - This sauce is named after the Marquis de Bechamel. In Italian, it's called balsamella or besciamella. The original and full French version also involves steeping some onion and a bay leaf in milk for 30 minutes to infuse the sauce with more flavor but here's an everyday approach. My simplified version is a snap to make and is perfect with baked rigatoni with bechamel sauce. You could also use it the way you would hollandaise sauce.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 4 cups whole milk, warm
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1 pinch fresh ground white pepper (to taste)
- 1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated (to taste)
- In a 2 quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick, smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Do not allow the bechamel sauce to boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch each of white pepper and nutmeg.
- Season the sauce with more salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.
- The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate.

Made it today for a dinner casserole , so good
I made half recipe and I had great results. I used skim milk and it worked :D I used a little bit of salt (even if usually I omit salt, but for a bechamel it needs salt). I used fresh black pepper. I omitted the nutmeg. Next time I'll add diced onion in the butter. My mother always made her bechamel sauce and the taste is wonderful. I used the bechamel sauce 3 days later with pasta and canned salmon with the liquid. Very great dinner we had. Thanks Lazyme :) Made for 123 hit wonders
This is SO good. I made exactly as stated. I wanted to use it as a sauce for baked rigatoni, but I only had ziti so it was baked ziti with bechamel sauce. I added some bacon as well and baked it for about 25 minutes. So delicious. I will make this sauce again for vegetables as well. Made for Photo Tag.

Telefonica Said to Face EU Objections Over Buying E-Plus
Telefonica SA's German unit is likely to face objections from European Union regulators over its 8.55 billion euro ($11.8 billion) bid for Royal KPN NV's E-Plus, two people familiar with the matter said.
Telefonica's plan to merge the two companies' German units, which would reduce the country's mobile operators from four to three, will soon receive a formal list of the European Commission's concerns over how the deal may harm competition, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the merger approval process isn't public.
The EU opened an in-depth probe into the transaction in December, citing concerns that it may harm retail customers and mobile virtual network operators that buy wholesale services from network owners. It is one of two deals the EU is reviewing that tests regulators' attitude toward consolidation in the industry. Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.'s Three Ireland also got objections this month over its plan to buy Telefonica SA's Irish operations.
"This is a normal part of any review process of more complex deals," Robin Bienenstock, a Sanford C. Bernstein analyst, said in a note today. "We still view the deal between E-Plus and O2D as likely to go ahead with remedies."
KPN shares dropped 0.7 percent to 2.69 euros as of 12:17 p.m. in Amsterdam trading, while Telefonica slipped 0.3 percent to 11.26 euros in Madrid.
The cost of insuring KPN bonds as measured by credit-default swaps rose 8 basis points, making it the worst performer on the iTraxx Europe index. Standard & Poor's said in November it could lower KPN's rating if the E-Plus disposal didn't win regulatory approval.
'Highly Concentrated'
Joaquin Almunia, the EU's antitrust chief, hasn't been swayed by telecommunications firms' calls to ease merger rules, saying national markets are "often highly concentrated with only a limited number of network operators" in each EU nation. Operators can't grow at the expense of "higher prices and less quality services for the users," he said yesterday in Brussels.
Antoine Colombani, a spokesman for the commission in Brussels, declined to comment. Officials at E-Plus, Telefonica and KPN also declined to comment. Reuters reported on plans to send the objections earlier yesterday.
Companies that receive statements of objections in an EU merger review can try to allay antitrust concerns by making concessions. These typically include promises to sell units or change market behavior.
Recipients of EU objections must defend their deal in writing and can seek an oral hearing before regulators make a final decision to block or clear the transaction. The EU currently has a May 14 deadline to rule on the Telefonica Deutschland and E-Plus deal.

I haven't tested it yet on IE, but I wanted to see if anyone knew if there was a way to fix the slideshow so that it works on Firefox? I have Google Chrome and have no issues going through it, but on Firefox, it's just a flat image that does nothing when you click on it. I just have the shortcode in the page editor, nothing fancy.

On September 19, 2007, MedImmune Vaccines (Gaithersburg, Maryland)
received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the use of FluMist®, a live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV),
to children aged 2-4 years (i.e., 24-49 months). FluMist is an intranasally administered influenza vaccine that was first licensed by the FDA in 2003 for healthy, nonpregnant persons aged 5-49 years.1 Expanding the age indications to include healthy children aged 2-4 years provides another influenza vaccination option for young children. In granting the new approval, FDA emphasized that FluMist is not approved for vaccination of children aged <2 years or adults aged >49 years,
and that FluMist safety has not been established in persons with underlying medical conditions predisposing them to influenza-related complications.2 In addition, FluMist should not be administered to persons with asthma or children aged <5 years with recurrent wheezing.1,2
In a randomized trial published in 2007, FluMist and trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) were compared among children aged 6-59 months.3 Children with medically diagnosed or treated wheezing within 42 days before enrollment, or a history of severe asthma, were excluded from this study. FluMist had a 55% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 45%-63%)
greater efficacy compared with TIV in preventing culture-confirmed influenza illness.
In the trial, among children aged 6-23 months, wheezing that required bronchodilator therapy or that was associated with significant respiratory symptoms occurred in 5.9% of FluMist recipients, compared with 3.8% of those who received TIV (risk ratio [RR] = 1.5,
CI = 1.2-2.1). Wheezing was not greater among children aged 24-59 months who received FluMist.3 In a previous randomized placebo-controlled safety trial among children aged 12 months–17
years, an elevated risk for asthma events (RR = 4.06, CI = 1.29-17.86)
was noted among 728 children aged 18-35 months who received FluMist;
of the 16 children with asthma-related events, none required hospitalization,
and elevated risks for asthma were not observed in other age groups.4
During 2006-2007, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) influenza vaccine workgroup reviewed data on the use of FluMist among children aged 2-4 years. On the basis of these data, expert opinion of the workgroup members, and consultation with representatives from the American Academy of Pediatrics and immunization safety experts,
the workgroup revised recommendations for use of LAIV to include children aged 2-4 years, and presented its recommendations to ACIP. On October 24, 2007, ACIP recommended that either LAIV or TIV can be used to vaccinate healthy non-pregnant persons aged 2-49 years. For the purposes of this recommendation, healthy persons were defined as persons who do not have an underlying medical condition that predisposes them to influenza complications.5 ACIP also approved use of FluMist for healthy persons aged 2-18 years under the federal Vaccines for Children (VFC) program.
Although FDA licensure of FluMist excluded children aged 2-4
years with a history of asthma or recurrent wheezing, the precise risk, if any, of wheezing caused by FluMist among these children is unknown because experience with FluMist among these young children is limited. Young children might not have a history of recurrent wheezing if their exposure to respiratory viruses has been limited because of their age. Certain children might have a history of wheezing with respiratory illnesses but have not had asthma diagnosed. The ACIP influenza vaccine workgroup, with advice from consultants, developed the following screening recommendations to assist persons who administer influenza vaccines in providing the appropriate vaccine for children aged 2-4 years.
Clinicians and immunization programs should screen for possible reactive airways diseases when considering use of FluMist for children aged 2-4 years, and should avoid use of this vaccine in children with asthma or a recent wheezing episode. Health-care providers should consult the medical record, when available, to identify children aged 2-4 years with asthma or recurrent wheezing that might indicate asthma.
In addition, to identify children who might be at greater risk for asthma and possibly at increased risk for wheezing after receiving LAIV, parents or caregivers of children aged 2-4 years should be asked: "In the past 12 months, has a health-care provider ever told you that your child had wheezing or asthma?" Children whose parents or caregivers answer "yes" to this question and children who have asthma or who had a wheezing episode noted in the medical record within the past 12 months, should not receive FluMist. TIV is available for use in children with asthma or possible reactive airways diseases.
Three other changes in the use of FluMist and its 2007-08 formulation should be noted; the amount of vaccine administered, the temperature at which FluMist is shipped and stored after delivery to the end-user,
and the minimum interval between doses have changed compared with the 2006-07 influenza season formulation. First, FluMist is now supplied in a prefilled, single-use sprayer containing 0.2 mL of vaccine instead of the previous 0.5 mL dose. Persons administering FluMist should spray 0.1 mL (i.e., half of the total sprayer contents) into the first nostril while the recipient is in an upright position. An attached dose-divider clip should then be removed from the sprayer and the second half of the dose administered into the other nostril. Second,
FluMist is now approved to be shipped to end users at 35°F–46°F (2°C–8°C) instead of being shipped and stored frozen.
FluMist should be stored at 35°F–46°F (2°C–8°C)
upon receipt, and can remain at that temperature until the expiration date is reached.2 Third, the recommended interval from the first to the second dose in children requiring 2 doses has changed from a minimum of 6 weeks to a minimum of 4 weeks, the same interval recommended between doses for TIV.2
Regardless of the vaccine used, ACIP, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend that children aged <9 years who have not previously been administered an influenza vaccine should receive 2 doses separated by 4 or more weeks in the initial year.6 Children aged <9 years who did not receive the recommended second dose of influenza vaccine in the initial year that they received influenza vaccine should receive 2 doses separated by 4 or more weeks before or during the next influenza season. This recommendation applies only to the influenza season that follows the first season that a child aged <9 years receives influenza vaccine5,7. Children aged <9 years who are being vaccinated two or more seasons after receiving an influenza vaccine for the first time should receive a single annual dose, regardless of the number of doses administered previously.5,7 Additional information is available from the manufacturer's package insert2 and MedImmune Vaccines, telephone 877-358-6478.

A Remodeled 'Doll's House'
LONDON -- At the Donmar Warehouse Theatre Zinnie Harris updates Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" from late 19th-century Norway to London in 1909. She transposes to the Edwardian political classes Ibsen's shocking story of a wife and mother who has exposed herself to blackmail by borrowing money to support her self-important husband when he's had a breakdown, then realizes that their marriage is based on falsehood and leaves her husband and children.
This has some pluses. The heroine Nora's husband, now called Thomas Vaughan (and played with just the right combination of languor and nerves by Toby Shephens) becomes a new cabinet minister, with much to lose when blackmailed by the Krogstad character, who is in this version his disgraced predecessor, a jagged Northerner, Neil Kelman (a polished rough-diamond performance by Christopher Eccleston).
But it has its minuses, too, in that it's hard to see why Nora's confidante (here called Christine Lyle, winsomely and winningly played by Tara Fitzgerald), should have had any difficulty finding the love of her life, Neil, as he's supposed to have been a prominent politician. And there's something a little odd about the loyal Dr. Rank's terminal disease. Anton Lesser is wryly touching as the man whose innocent, chaste love for Nora is, in any case, hopeless because he is dying. Even if, as most authorities say, Ibsen's original "tuberculosis of the spine" is a euphemism for tertiary syphilis, where are the symptoms of the cancer to which it's altered here? Director Kfir Yefet, whose pace is splendid, should probably have done something about this.
However, all that really matters is whether Ms. Harris has done any damage to the role of Nora, and the answer is emphatically not. "X-Files" veteran Gillian Anderson is a great Nora, vulnerable but not brittle, yielding but not spineless -- a loving wife, mother and friend who herself suffers most from the boundaries she feels she has to impose on her husband, children and friends. She is beautiful, her upper-class Edwardian accent almost perfect, her tears genuine (I could see the mascara run from my seat in the Circle), and her departure heart-rending.
It might have been better to leave well enough alone, but this superb cast make the minor flaws of this new version seem insignificant.

In Search of the Real Henry VIII
LONDON -- To mark the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII, the British Library has mounted "Henry VIII: Man and Monarch" in its splendid St. Pancras building. Most of the exhibits come from the BL's own, unrivaled holdings; the famed "King's Library" there is, in fact, the personal collection of Henry VIII's books and manuscripts, many of them heavily annotated in his own strong and broad handwriting. Alongside the books and letters are portraits of Henry, including the famous late one by Hans Holbein the Younger, "Henry VIII and the Barber Surgeons," and of almost all the other personae in his historic drama -- starting with his great-uncle, Henry VI, and his maternal grandfather, Edward IV, and culminating in the celebrated "Armada Portrait" of his daughter, Elizabeth I. There are likenesses of all six wives along the way. Henry's huge collection of maps, and his scientific instruments, are shown with tapestry, armor, plate, jewelry and sculptures, to try to give some idea of why Henry VIII still has some hold over our imagination.
From his portrait as a sweet-looking infant to the Holbein with its oversized codpiece signifying Henry's potency as much as the sword and crown do his majesty, there seem to be two Henrys. One is the golden youth who promises to unite the country; the other is the fat tyrant with piggy eyes and petulant rosebud mouth, who beheaded one wife (Anne Boleyn) a day before becoming engaged to the next one (Jane Seymour), and bumped off more men of note than any monarch before or since.
Don't miss the most beautiful objects: the stunning designs for the scarlet tents for the Field of Cloth of Gold, a meeting in 1520 between Henry and Francis I of France.

Beyond Kitsch: The Baroque Era as an Ethos
LONDON -- What is Baroque? Originally it was a word taken from the Portuguese phrase for a bizarrely misshapen pearl, like the one in the form of a camel displayed at the beginning of the Victoria and Albert Museum's exuberantly enormous show, "Baroque 1620-1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence." Later it became the Italian word for a fanciful, far-fetched argument. Both these senses contributed to our contemporary use of the word to connote an entire approach to art and design, spanning architecture, the fine and decorative arts, and even music.
The V&A exhibits capture the opulence, magnificence and general over-the-topness of everything from St. Peter's in Rome to Louis XIV's Versailles; from paintings by Rubens and Tiepolo to the riotously kitsch altarpiece of "The Virgin of Sorrows," by an anonymous 1690 painter working in Mexico. There's a rectangular box of miniature grisly waxwork sculptures representing death and bodily corruption; a gold-and-silver-mounted Johann Joachim Kandler Dresden Meissen cup, on which the legs, neck and head of a porcelain ostrich are attached to the top and bottom of a real ostrich egg. There is amazing footage of working stage sets in a Baroque theater in the Czech Republic.
Of course some of the objects are of little distinction -- this is not a show of massed masterpieces, but an exhibition constructed around an argument about how the Catholic Church as well as secular rulers extended and consolidated their autocratic powers, from the architecture of entire squares in capital cities to gem-studded reliquaries and (communion-wafer-holding) monstrances. The Baroque style was the 17th and 18th century equivalent of bread and circuses.

Most of the political discourse over the budget, both in the parliamentary debates and in the media, has focused not on the budget being too large, but on whether or not the Budget is pro-poor. Some common criticisms include:
1. The current government is just doing everything the same as the last government, and there are no new policies or programs.
2. The new policies and programs are terrible. Criticisms 1 and 2 often both show up in the same speech.
3. Not enough money is being spent on supporting rice, sugar, tourism, or other industries.
As for numbers 1 and 2, let's just say that no country has a monopoly on nonsensical political rhetoric. Number 3 is more economically interesting, especially since the budget is so large. It is true that spending is focusing on infrastructure, health and education, rather than industrial policy, and this is controversial. The government recently announced it will close one of its state-owned sugar estates, a decision that will put hundreds of people out of work. However, the state-run sugar industry produces sugar at almost twice the cost of the global sugar price, and the money that goes to propping up the sugar industry is money that can't be put towards programs in health, education, or other basic government services.
It might be that criticizing the budget for not having something for everyone scores more political points than criticizing its size. But it would be nice to see more of a conversation about the trade offs inherent in spending more on government programs. Guyana is a country that is very cognizant of the environmental sustainability of its policies; it should strive to be cognizant of the economic sustainability of its policies too.

On a new site with a bbpress forum, and using "New User Approve" on the first day I got over 100 spam user registration requests.
Installed and configured Stop Spammers with all the API keys and not a single spam request came through. The really good news is that several legitimate users were able to register.
As an added measure of security, I put up a Wordfence as well.
The combination of New User Approve, Stop Spammers, and Wordfence has allowed me do something else with my life other than weed through spam trash.
With Wordfence it is so cool and so easy to identify "bots that don't belong" and block them. That and the automatic detection and blocking of "snoopers" is absolutely fantastic!
love it, love it, love it!
Thank you!

Thanks for the great plugin.
I want to change the background color of my widgets, is it possible for me to add target it and something to my custom css?
Thanks for the great plugin.
I want to change the background color of my widgets, is it possible for me to add target it and something to my custom css?
I'm not sure what you mean by to add target it but you may try the following and let me know if it works for you:
1. Go to Appearance -> Responsive Column Widgets -> New / Edit.
2. Find the section, Custom Style and the Container Background Color option.
3. Set the background color.
Hope it helps!
Hi there,
Thanks for the response, I've made the color change at the Container Background Color option, however the change has not taken effect. It can be seen here. Note the grey widget background.
I see. The option indeed does not take effect in Twenty Thirteen. Thanks for the report!
Please add the following CSS rule to the CSS Rule option.
.responsive_column_widgets {
display: inline-block;
Let me know if it works or not. If it does, it will be included in the next release.
I've added the code but the widgets are now compacted on the left side of the page.
I see. Please try:
.responsive_column_widgets {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
Winner, thank you!
Quick question, and not related to the plugin. I am struggling to find/change the background color of the home widgets (in front of the yellow background) (the color in front of the yellow) do you perhaps know where I could change this?
I think, in your case,
.responsive_column_widgets_box .widget {
background-color: transparent;
You may change the part, transparent, to what your need.
Thank you!
You are welcome!

Campaign Sources Say Ryan Is Romney VP Pick: NBC News
Our take: NBC News announced late Friday night that sources close to the Romney campaign have confirmed that Mitt Romney plans to announce Saturday morning that Paul Ryan will join him as his VP running mate. Romney's son Tagg is being reported to have delivered the message to Ryan in person in his home state of Wisconsin.
With recent national polls showing Romney trailing President Barack Obama, Ryan is a bold pick. He would excite economic conservatives, and is considered one of his party's rising stars.
In addition, Romney told NBC's Chuck Todd on Thursday he was looking for someone with "a vision for the country," who "adds something to the political discourse about the direction of the country" -- a sign that he might make a bold pick in Ryan.

A religion of revelation understands God as addressing us from beyond our experience, not apart from it. It helped me to remember that when visiting what may be the most engaging encounter between faith and culture in New York these days.
That would be Dan Graham: Beyond, a retrospective of the contemporary American artist's work at the Whitney Museum of American Art (through October 11). The show includes sculpture, prints, drawings, video, and film installations.
Born in Urbana, Illinois, in 1942, and raised in New Jersey, Graham in 1964 founded and briefly ran the John Daniels Gallery in New York City. It featured conceptual and Minimalist artists, such as Sol Le Witt and Donald Judd. Graham's own first conceptual pieces were for magazines in the mid-1960s.They included cash-register receipts that played deadpan counterpoint to the glossy commercial ads with which they were paired. With similar flat-toned objectivity, Graham sharply criticized the depersonalization and standardization of American life in "Homes for America" (1966-67), a project for Arts Magazine on the large-scale suburban housing developments of the period.
By the early 1970s, Graham began exploring how the human body is perceived in space. One of his most engaging efforts is Opposing Mirrors and Video Monitors in Time Delay (1974). Two video monitors face one another across a room in which there are also mirrors at either end. Visitors...

Yes, precicely this is what I am trying to do. The URL (deviceUrl) is obtained once the call to ImportVApp is successful, it does not import the disk on root directory but to the new VM directory created after the importvapp call. I remember trying this on ESXi4.1 and it used to work fine, ESXi5 seems to block it. I am logged in with "root" credentials.

OVA disk can be compressed (compression algorithm is identified as one of the fields inside creaimportspec result varible), also as OVA optimizes the disk we need to use this URL to upload the valid content and rest necessary messaging is done by server itself (say deflate the disk, uncompress it etc.).

OBERHOFEN, Switzerland -- The International Ski Federation has passed a new rule requiring Alpine racers to use longer skis to help prevent serious injuries.
Giant slalom skiers will face the biggest changes in the 2012-13 World Cup season. The rules are being imposed after a six-year injury research project.
FIS says the minimum length for men's GS skis will increase by 10 centimeters to 1.95 meters. Women's GS skis must be 1.88 meters, 8 centimeters longer.
Downhill skis also will be longer -- at least 2.18 meters for men and 2.15 meters for women.
A FIS panel was led by Pernilla Wiberg of Sweden, the 1992 Olympic champion in women's GS. The panel worked with researchers in Norway and Austria to develop prototype skis that were tested last season.

Crashes snarl local traffic
BERLIN Police responded to two separate two-vehicle crashes Friday both on the Barre-Montpelier Road.
One of the crashes happened just after noon; the other, just before 1:30 p.m., according to Officer Kyle Kapitanski of the Berlin police.
The first accident took place near the Berlin State Highway, and the second was near Windshield World, said Kapitanski.
The first crash resulted in significant damage to one vehicle and moderate damage to the second. One of the people in the accident may have suffered a minor injury, he said.
The second crash resulted in minor damage to both vehicles and no injuries.
No one from either accident was taken to a hospital by ambulance, Kapitanski said.
Traffic was heavier than normal on the Barre-Montpelier Road at the time of both crashes, due to a traffic-related incident that occurred in Barre City earlier in the day, a news release from the Berlin Police Department said. Traffic had since returned to normal flow, police said as of 3:30 p.m.
The accident in Barre, involving a truck striking power lines, led to North Main Street being temporarily closed to traffic in both directions, Barre police said.

Capcom details Street Fighter X Tekken DLC plans
Capcom has some big DLC plans for Street Fighter x Tekken and they've been kind enough to detail them for you.
EventHubs noticed that the mighty Brelston wrote a lovely wall of text over at Capcom Unity about the DLC which he was also kind enough to condense into these bullet points:
- Nine new gem packs totaling 60+ new gems
- Replay analyzer
- Tournament support for gem selection
- Three new quick combo pre-sets
- Three additional gem loadout slots
- Three new color packs with four colors each
- Swap Costumes – $1.00 (80 MSP) each or in two $13.00 (1040 MSP) Street Fighter and/or Tekken packs
- DLC characters – $20.00 (1600 MSP) for all 12 new fighters
So there ya go. If you want to read Brelston's entire post about the DLC head on over to Capcom-Unity.

Jaiyah Saelua & American Samoa FC
"Look at this beautiful woman that's athletically very strong beside me, I knew there were some intangibles that I could work with to turn this team around in a short space of time." The woman Rongen refers to is Jaiyah Saelua, born Johnny, but one of the island's Fa'afafine - an integral part of traditional Samoan culture, born biologically male but embodying both masculine and feminine gender traits. It makes her the world's first transgender national football player. While, through the force of her own personality, Jaiyah becomes an integral part of the documentary - there is no explicit battle for acceptance from her teammates, the issue of sexual identity is just not an issue for the islanders. "Its natural in American Samoa because its part of the culture. Fa'afafine's have been around since before the missionaries came. It's so deeply embedded in the foundations of our culture to show respect and that includes respect for transgender people," says Jaiyah.

I thought changing fonts would help the look, but still have the issue with the different browsers.
Thank you
Browsers don't always display websites or fonts the same. With fonts, it is partly dependent on what fonts are installed on the local computer, unless the site is using web fonts. Do some background research on fonts for websites and you'll learn more. You can change the fonts -- usually in Theme Options or if not there, in the CSS code.
But for your particular theme, since it's a commercial theme from Elegant Themes, you'll need to contact them for help.

Texas Tech 59, Texas A&M 28
LUBBOCK, Texas -- It was B.J. Symons' first game against rival Texas A&M, and the Texas Tech quarterback made sure the Aggies will remember it.
Symons threw a Big 12-record eight touchdown passes and topped 500 yards passing for the third straight game as the Red Raiders beat A&M 59-28 Saturday night.
"I guess it means a lot when we win," Symons said of his record. "This being my only time I've stepped on the field against A&M, I think I made up for lost time, but it just feels good to win more than anything else."
Symons was 34-of-46 for 505 yards and broke the conference mark of seven TDs set by A&M's Dustin Long last year in Tech's 48-47 overtime win in College Station.
Symons leads the nation in passing with 2,467 yards and 24 touchdowns. There still seven regular-season games left.
He left the game with 11:48 remaining, having thrown TD passes of 17, 19, 48, 13, 14, 15, 8 and 16 yards.
"Every play worked tonight," Tech coach Mike Leach said. "We weren't foolproof, but a lot of credit goes to B.J. Symons. He is making good decisions. The offensive line gave him great protection"
Aggie coach Dennis Franchione said Tech's offense was everything he expected. The Red Raiders (4-1, 1-0 Big 12) finished with 669 total yards to 489 for A&M (2-3, 0-1), which has lost three straight.
"We're not the first they've done it to, but we certainly hoped we would be the one that slowed them down," Franchione said. "We tried to do a lot of different things, but for everything we tried, they had an answer."
It was the third straight week that Symons set a conference record. Last week he passed for 661 yards and six TDs in a 49-45 victory at Mississippi, breaking the mark of 586 yards he set the week before in a 49-21 loss at North Carolina State.
"What you saw today out there on that field is what we see everyday in practice," said Tech defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich. "The ball goes up and down the field."
Wes Welker led the Red Raiders in receiving with 114 yards on six catches, and scored twice. He finished the game with 194 career receptions to break the school record of 189 set by Lloyd Hill.
Carlos Francis (110 yards) and Mickey Peters (75) and Glover (97) also each caught six passes, with Glover scoring three TDs.
Glover said it looked like the Aggies' spirit broke in the second quarter.
"They were walking on the field looking totally lazy," he said. "It looked like they didn't want to play anymore. I was disappointed in them, because this is supposed to be a rivalry game."
Tech jumped to a 17-0 lead and never trailed in the game. Symons had 305 yards at halftime.
A&M allowed the most points in school history. The previous high was 57 points by Texas in 1977. It was also the most points ever against a Franchione-coached team.
The 31-point margin of victory was the second-largest by Tech in the 62-game series between the schools, surpassed only in 1954, when Tech went to College Station and beat the Bear Bryant-coached Aggies 41-9.
Symons fell 47 yards short of the NCAA three-game record for passing yards -- 1,798 -- set by Houston's David Klingler over the 1990-91 seasons.
"When we execute the way we can, I feel like nobody can stop us," Symons said. "If we come out and we're in that groove, it just kind of snowballs from there."
The Aggies didn't score until Courtney Lewis' 3-yard TD run early in the second quarter.
Tech has won the last three games against A&M and has five straight wins in Lubbock. The Red Raiders also have won seven of the last nine.
"Our kids knew that coming in here we were going to have a tough time," Franchione said. "It will be interesting to see how we bounce back from this one."
Unlike two years ago, Tech fans stayed in their seats instead of storming the field when the game ended. Their behavior might have been because the late-starting game ended at nearly 1 a.m. Sunday, or because the contest wasn't close.
After Tech beat the Aggies 12-0 in 2001, fans in Lubbock tore down the goalposts and rammed them into a portion of the stands where some Aggie fans remained, sparking a melee.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Montpellier Chapter Hotel Cheltenham
Good value if you get the bigger room
I didn't really care for this hotel when I first arrived. I had heard it was trendy, eclectic, shabby chic -- does that mean that someone just slapped together some interesting stuff and hoped for the best? Sounds like my own, amateur approach to decorating. If there was a designer sensibility at work here, I couldn't spot it.
Our bedroom was on the first floor and had a bay window; I think it was one of the larger rooms in the hotel. Plusses: the bathroom was pretty good, and for once, I had decent lights for reading.
The hotel grew on me, though. For 95 quid a night, it seemed a relative bargain. The staff were friendly (a bit too relaxed. When I ordered a sandwich in the conservatory, the young man actually sat down with me while I placed the order. Maybe I should have bought him a drink or something!)
I don't think this is a destination hotel, but if you're in Cheltenham, you could certainly do worse. The hotel is well located, within walking distance of the main shopping district and some good restaurants.
Vastly improved under new management.
The management changed some 18 months ago and it shows!
A Mr Maguire is now in control, he previously managed a Michelin starred establishment, and there is now a vastly improved level of positive synergy between quality and cost.
I fully agree with a previous reviewers comments:-
**Exceptional Food
***Exceptional Atmosphere
****Exceptional Staff
*****Exceptional Stay
Stay there, you won't be sorry!
Extremely uncomfortable night
I stayed one night in a single room (No 119) which was very small and much smaller than equivalently priced hotels. More importantly however was the constant noise resulting from fixtures on the outside wall relating to either heating or air conditioning or some form of electro-mechanical installation. This noise was intolerably loud and continued throughout the night. indeed one could detect a resonant vibration on the outward facing wall created by the noise. For �75.00 this was very poor value.
Hotel of the new generation
We were intrigued by the prospect of the Kandinsky and looking forward to seeing it it matched it's hype. It not only matched our expectations, but exceeded them. This is a great little hotel in the chic and walkable Montpellier district of Cheltenham, only minutes from the centre. After the standard service at 4 stars around the world, the terrifyingly-trendy style of this place comes as a surprise - but after a couple of minutes this soon became very welcoming and relaxing. The staff were uniformly friendly, attentive and anxious to please, but managed to make it look effortless due to the chilled ethos of the place.
Another recommendation is the decor. The bedrooms are clean, tidy and comfortable. Our's was not the largest, and was extremely hot for a humid Summer weekend. A fan helped, but some would complain about the lack of AC. However, downstairs the decor is characterised by careless elegance and a dishevilled chic; the sofas, chairs, and tables that fill the inter-connected network of rooms were inviting and relaxing. The conservatory was a particularly nice spot. Unlike some hotels, these communal spaces were inviting and comfortable - making up for the smaller room we had upstairs.
The evening restaurant / morning breakfast room also continued this theme, with attentive staff and understated decor. We had an antipasta selection for the evening, and the pizzas looked good too. The breakfast was good, and (a MAJOR bonus this), the staff were not tidying the food away 10-15 minutes before the end fo the stated breakfast times... and stragglers were welcomed in rather than scorned and refused!
In contrast to other reviews here, we were on the second floor and heard nothing of the club in the basement. Overall, although this is an extremely and self-consciously trendy place -targetted squarely at today's zietgeist and its fad for boutique hotels- this place manages to pull it off and we enjoyued our stay greatly. We'd return without a moment's hesitation and, indeed, will search out others in this chain.
A mix of good and bad
The decor is definitely eclectic. The staff are friendly but very laid back. I checked into a double room which was on the top floor but wasn't satisfied with the small bedrom space or small double bed. Layout on the top floor seems to be tight - possibly only to the rear of the hotel? I was changed (without much ado) to a better room on the second floor. Same decor but much roomier with a very large double bed.
Restaurant was booked out 'til late but we (party of 6) were offered a lovely room as an alternative and service and food were good - apart from the latte coffees which were very weak (as were their replacements). Prawn starter didn't appear fresh, although presumably it was from a freezer.
Draught lager in the bar was gone off the first time we tried (rather odd for a 4 star). Another keg was ok.
Other negatives? One of our bath towels was distinctly wet. It hadn't been changed prior to our arrival.
Overall, the staff slip up in a number of (small) places but it is a very friendly and relaxed hotel with decent food.
Exceptional - Beyond Words!!!!
Kandinsky - As good as being HOME - some 3,500 miles away from home.
I stayed at the Kandinsky in February 2004. Unfortunately the first 3 days were spent being ill - very ill. And this is where my review begins. The Kandinsky staff - upon learning of my illness - took every care and thought into making me as comfortable as possible -cold cloths, comfy bathrobe, breezy fan and not to mention the ice water at my bedside - and checking up on me until they were sure I was feeling better - I cannot say thank you enough for your kindness!!!
****************************************** When I was back to feeling myself - I was able to experience the Kandinsky's
**Exceptional Food ***Exceptional Atmosphere ****Exceptional Staff *****Exceptional Stay
I'm so glad to have found such a treasure to add to my travel diary and look forward to many more stays at the Exceptional Kandinsky.

Shabby Chic
Cheltenham girl born and bred - London girl of late, I've sampled some of the best hotels in both places, but nothing has been, or I imagine ever will be quite like Kandinsky... The louge/bar area is just a breathtaking but totally chilled out joy. Filled with gently chattering 25's-45's, the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed, giving a feeling more akin to the tail end of a dinner party in the early hours than that of a hotel lounge at 5 in the afternoon. The bar comprises a low table and what looks like 2 wardrobes as drinks cabinets, and the staff, young, friendly, helpful, but possibly a little slow - though it was terrible busy.. An elegant mix of antique sofas, armchairs, rugs and chandeliers with the high ceilings, wood floors, guilt mirrors and huge palms brings a tangibility and immediacy to the term, 'shabby chic'. Kandinsky is a must for anyone who... no, just anyone.
Full of promise, but failed to deliver
The hotel is centrally located, surrounded by magnificent Regency architecture, and with its own carpark. The quirky modern decor, with marionettes in the reception, informal bar, and tasteful furnishings make this an interesting as well as comfortable venue.
The spacious bedrooms with small, but adequate, bathrooms are delightful. All have attractive coir matting, rugs, and top-quality bedlinen; and there are king-sized beds available.
The main dining-room is reasonable, but a little stark for an intimate soiree. However, there is a lovely private dining-room for small parties, adjacent to the bar. What a shame that this is directly over the discotheque and the room reverberates to the bass and drums at weekends, making conversation uncomfortable. Light sleepers may well be kept awake into the small hours as most of the bedrooms are located above the club.
Generally English hotels do not offer memorable culinary experiences.
Our party of eight was forced to have the same set menu, with no choice of starters and puddings, and only two main courses from which to choose.There are many better restaurants in Cheltenham than the Kandinsky's.
The staff are young and very pleasant, but also laidback. An entire round of eight drinks was ordered and never served! Those in a rush should avoid this hotel. Checking-out is unbelievably slow, with long queues and a distinct lack of efficiency.
Sadly this hotel has all the right ingredients, but the management (which was not in evidence during our stay) is clearly weak.
This is the perfect hotel for a romantic getaway with great food, service and a fantastic menu of cocktails! It's eclectic and luxurious without a smidgen of pretention. Would definitely recommend it.
A fantasy world
This is a truly wonderful hotel. As you walk into the reception there's a feeling that you might have accidentally arrived in the home of an eccentric antique collector, until the smile of the receptionist assures you that this is where you're actually staying for a few nights. You cannot pigeon hole this hotel, other than in being ecclectic in it's style but thoroughly wholesome and hearty in it's food and service. It's the antithethis of corporate schmooze. I can't believe any of the staff have ever been on a training course or hotel school, yet they all have perfect manners. There's a fine restuarant (with pizza oven), virtually self service drinks table, cocktail bar/disco downstairs, soft porn in the mens loos. I've not been to any of the other Alias hotels, but I look forward to discovering they are as brilliant as this place. Richard

Automating tasks with SSH, Zenity, Yad, KDialog, PuTTY, WinSCP, and Rex Secure Agent
Starting a script on a Linux server with just a few mouse clicks sounds more complicated than it really is. If you want to create attractive and interactive dialogs for your desktop users, all you need is a small utility called SSH and a little Bash know-how.
Deleting all the tasks in the print spool or saving a complete backup to the SAN immediately after finishing a large project are all typical tasks that keep systems administrators from getting their real work done. How much easier it would be if they could enable their users to complete selected administrative tasks themselves.
To allow even inexperienced users to accomplish these housekeeping chores, admins can simply place an appropriate icon on their desktops. With it, the user starts a self-made program with a simple but sufficient GUI, which in turn triggers actions on the Linux server via SSH – also via script. If admins have SSH, sudo, and one of the dialog systems described below (Zenity, Yad, KDialog, or Rex) in their tool boxes, the client users don't have to grapple with Linux concepts. Windows clients have PuTTY, WinSCP, or PowerShell.

I don't think making a passive 3d projector is much more expensive then active 3d. The LG projector is overkill. The added cost would come in purchasing a screen that preserves the polarization of the light. All the projector needs is a single polarizer. There are already third party devices on the market to convert projectors from active to passive 3d such as Tru3d. I already own an LG 55LW6500 LED panel and after watching passive 3d I will never go with active 3d again. Perhpas the price of the LG is more reflective of engineering overkill and a thin market than the actual cost to produce the projector.

In WordPress the:
is filed under <?php the_category(', ') ?>
lists the categories that your post is filed under. Now, if you choose only the child of a Parent, say
Cat1 > Sub1, will it show only Sub1 or will it show
Cat1, Sub1?
Show "Cat1 > Sub1" where? Such a hierarchy is shown in the url when using custom permalinks, but if you mean the page title for that sub-category, no.
Or are you asking something completely different?
In the "Filed Under" that comes with most of the templates. The "gray box" as so many call it where it says "Posted on blah date and filed under this and that categories and you can rss and pingback, etc."
In the tag
<?php the_category(', ') ?> does it include the parent or just the child if the parent is unchecked when the post is saved?
Ah. The default is to link/display just the child, with no parent<>child relationship exhibited. To change this, see the info on the 'parent' parameter:
(I know you know how to find it, but one never knows who is reading.)
Little more expo on 'parent':
single: Parent/Child - single link
multiple: Parent/Child - link to each
Yes, but there is a feature:
(string) How to display links that reside in child (sub) categories. Options are:
* "multiple" - Display separate links to parent and child categories, exhibiting "parent/child" relationship.
* "single" - Display link to child category only, with link text exhibiting "parent/child" relationship.
So how do you use this? I would want the
Different parameters use different methods, some with single quotes and commas, some with equals and ampersands...how would this work to put the
multiple parameter in?
I missed this on the first read through of the template tag.
Ah, I'm really slow tonight. It says:
<?php the_category('separator', 'parents' ); ?>
So I'm going to try:
<?php the_category(', ', 'multiple') ?>
and see what it gets me.
<?php the_category(', ', 'multiple'); ?>
<?php the_category(', ', multiple); ?>
Both will work, though 'we' suggest using the quotes (just to keep in the habit for text strings).
Well, I tried it and this is what I got:
Filed under Cat1, Cat2/Sub1, Cat3...
I don't like the slash to denote the parent/child relationship. Wish there was a way to make that just part of the comma lines so it would list:
Filed under Cat1, Cat2, Sub1, Cat3...
Oh, we always ask so much...
Thanks for your help on this. If I'd plugged at it long enough, I could have figured it out, but I so love being the questioner once in a while.
I think the question was "why can't I modify all the WordPress features through simple parameters to my heart's delight?"
And the answer is "because."
Yes. Sadly, that _is_ the answer.

Definition of siglum in English:
noun (plural sigla /ˈsiɡlə/)
A letter (especially an initial) or other symbol used to denote a word in a book, especially to refer to a particular text.
Example sentences
- The Wake's hybridist nature extends beyond genre, even beyond portmanteau words, indeed to the most atomic level of text (letters, punctuation, sigla of all forms).
- The equal sign used here stands for a three-lined equal sign in the book, but my computer cannot produce such a siglum.
Early 18th century: from late Latin sigla (plural), perhaps from singula, neuter plural of singulus 'single'.

Carlos is a very sympathic host. We had a nice stay. Just in front of the house there is a stop of the Aerobus to the airport, very convenient! The house is clean. The room and the breakfast table are a bit small. But at this price I would still recommend it. Thank you Carlos!
very central, friendly and clean!
Can recommend it to anyone.
zeer centraal, vriendelijk en schoon!
Kan het iedereen aanbevelen.
Receipt and contact was fine. Room small ventilation shaft in through the window gave bad smells, squeaky doors, bad bed (mattress), cleanliness fine, breakfast okay, location pledge fine, good price
Ontvangst en contact was prima. Kamer klein, ventilatie via raam in schacht gaf vieze geuren, piepende deuren, slecht bed(matras),hygiene prima, ontbijt oke, ligging pand prima, prijs prima
Overall Rating 2.
Small room poorly furnished and dirty with a window without blinds. Breakfast is not included and even the towels and we shared 8 people in a bathroom is not clean; Also, we had trouble sleeping at night because of continuous citofonavano: neighborhood very noisy at night.
The only positive is the location: close to the center
Voto complessivo 2.
Camera piccola mal arredata e sporca con una finestra senza persiane . La colazione non è inclusa e neanche la biancheria da bagno e abbiamo condiviso in 8 persone un bagno non pulitissimo; inoltre , abbiamo avuto difficoltà a dormire perchè di sera citofonavano di continuo: quartiere molto rumoroso di notte.
Unica nota positiva è la posizione : vicinissima al centro
blah blah blah!
bof bof bof !
Carlos: Very nice, everything has declared given few tips.
Rooms: Very bad:
Mattress: I felt every spring, ONLY 1.80m long, his feet hanging out!
Our room was only separated by a wooden door from the other rooms. That means I have listened to every conversation as if who stood next to me, the glare from the neighbors seemed also, and all this in the middle of the night.
Since the room was on the main road I have of course the lautenb traffic noise heard through the night.
Internet connection: For a slow connection I had in the 90'igern over a 56K modem. Unfortunately also been repeatedly disconnected.
Breakfast: toast, 2 kinds of jam, a sort of sausage, tea, instant coffee, cocoa, cereal and cookies.
Bad: not hygienic, no good ventilation.
Location: Good, Metro right there.
Carlos: Sehr nett, hat alles erklärt, paar Tipps gegeben.
Zimmer: Sehr schlecht:
Matratze: Ich habe jede Feder gespürt, NUR 1,80m lang, die Füße hingen raus!
Unser Zimmer war nur durch eine Holztür vom anderen Zimmer getrennt. Das heißt ich habe jedes Gespräch mitgehört als wenn die neben mir gestanden haben, das grelle licht vom Nachbarn schien auch durch, und das alles mitten in der Nacht.
Da das Zimmer an der Hauptstraße war habe ich natürlich auch den lautenb Verkehrslärm die ganze Nacht durchgehört.
Internetverbindung: So eine langsame Verbindung hatte ich in den 90´igern mit einem 56K Modem. Leider auch mehrmals getrennt worden.
Frühstück: Toast, 2 Sorten Marmelade, eine Sorte Wurst, Tee, Löslicher Kaffee, Kakao, Kornflakes und Kekse.
Bad: nicht hygienisch, keine gute Belüftung.
Lage: Gut, Metro gleich da.
Very nice home! Carlos is listening. Breakfast is a plus, a small Italian coffee would be expected in his luggage. Very decent value for money.
Can be clear that this room faces a busy street in circulation and there is no double glazing. But my girls were not shy!
Cool games. Barcelona is redone. The Gran Via is a main street well served by public transport.
Hasta luego!
Accueil très agréable ! Carlos est à l'écoute. Le petit déjeuner est un plus, une petite cafetière italienne serait à prévoir dans ses bagages . Rapport qualité prix très convenable.
Peut être préciser que cette chambre donne sur une rue passagère en circulation et qu'il n'y a pas de double vitrage. Mais mes filles n'ont pas été gênées !
Des rencontres sympas . Barcelone est à refaire. La Gran via est une grande rue bien desservie par les transports.
Hasta luego !
Carlos is a friendly and pleasant guy and gave good instructions on how to get to the place. It was very easy to get there and the location is the best part. Room was clean and so were the bathrooms. The breakfast was good too. We got cornflakes, milk, bread, butter, marmalade, muffins, croissants, tea, coffee and juice.
The room was strictly ok and quite small. The bed was old, creaky and uncomfortable. There was no heater and the thin blanket wasnt enough and we were cold in the night. The pillows were very small and we folded them up to get some support.There was only one window which opened to the inner side of the building overlooking the adjacent bathroom. We kept it closed to keep the smell away.
Despite these things, given the price we paid, its location and general amenities, I would say its not too bad.

A low power and high gain V-band CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) is proposed in this letter with a three-stage cascode topology. Using the gate-inductive gain-peaking technique to boost the gain, the proposed LNA achieves a good figure of merit (FOM) with less power consumption. This proposed LNA is fabricated in a 0.13 μm RF CMOS process, which achieves a peak gain of 21 dB at 53 GHz, a noise figure (NF) of 7.6 dB at 53 GHz, a 3 dB frequency bandwidth ranging from 51.3 to 55.8 GHz, an input 1 dB compression point (P1 dB) of - 25 dBm at 53 GHz, and an input third-order intercept point (IIP3) of -16 dBm. Also, the LNA consumes only 15.1 mW at a supply voltage of 1.5 V. The calculated FOM is 0.81 in average. Such a V-band LNA design is applicable to the cost-efficiency integration of a microwave radiometer front-end circuit over the operation frequency band of 52 to 56 GHz.

Killer Karaoke (Killer Cruelty??)
Over a year ago
Wow I just found this post http://fezpeanut.tumblr.com/post/36211688812/blogging-again-for-the-morning-crowd-important addressing a new television show hosted by Steve-O which is pretty much "a mixture of Fear Factor and American Idol" and apparently during one of the challenges they dunked a singer into a tub of ice cold water which they poured non aquatic snakes into (you can find more info and links through that post). This is completely messed up though and they have done nothing but defended their actions. Has anyone else heard more about this/this show?
Please log in to reply.

Steve-O shouldn't have allowed it to happen if he 'loves' animals and should make it clear to the organisers of the show. Seems more like he's for welfare and not rights.

LAYTONVILLE- Two people were found dead inside a home in a rural area of Laytonville.
According to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, both bodies were found inside a home in the Wooden Peak area in a rural area of the town.
Deputies were dispatched to the downtown area of the town to meet with a person who had discovered the bodies. The deputies were escorted to the home and confirmed the report. The sheriff's office believes both died as a result of a homicide.
Investigators and detectives are in the area.
