Always have I wanted a gas stove top. Now is my chance. I had envisioned years ago the best combination in the kitchen would be a gas stove and electric oven. I don't bake often except for old world breads and holiday birds. What would be my best combo? What are the advantages and disadvantages of gas and electric ovens?
I have used gas ovens with gas hobs, electric ovens with electric hobs, and electric ovens with gas hobs. By far the best combination is gas hob and electric oven. I'll break the pros and cons down:
Gas Hob
Electric hobs are pretty much the opposite. They can be slow to heat and react slowly to heat changes (so if you want to go from a boil to a simmer you have to plan 20 minutes ahead). They also have the disadvantage of remaining hot even when they're turned off, which can be dangerous. Their only advantage over gas hobs is a more even heat across the pan, and being easier to clean.
Electric Oven (preferably fan)
In contrast, gas ovens are slow to preheat, have marked zones of different heat (cooler at the bottom, hot at the top) and have coarser heat control. Also, because the flame is generally at the back of the oven, you can end up burning larger dishes that butt right up to it. All this builds up to make an unreliable oven (in terms of cooking results).
In conclusion, a gas hob/electric oven combo is the best because it gives you ultimate control over your cooking.
When I switched over to a gas stove, some years back, I noticed that it took considerably longer to cook food on my new (Gas) stove. like 6 min on the electric stove vs 10 min on the gas stove for boiling about 2L (7 Cups) of water (for making Tea). Then, it made me suspicious if gas stove really saves me any money that I thought it would (Gas, based on Lower Calorific Value LCV, being 40% cheaper than Electricity, per unit of Energy, at that time).
I tried experimenting at home with a 0-150 degrees C thermometer and an average size pot, filled with 2L of water.
What I found from my experiment was that using electric stove, about 60-65% of the energy was going into heating the pot and the water in it; and in the case of gas stove, it was a maximum of 40% (based on LCV and optimizing the flame for minimum heat loss vs cooking). Adjusting the pot height from the flame, for maximum heat transfer efficiency, I was able to get almost 50% heat transfer to the pot and if the pot was higher than the manufacturer supplied base, heat transfer efficiency quickly dropped to 20-30 %.
As gas cooking was less efficient in my cooking experiment, the cost advantage for Gas, for factory set pot height, disappeared if cooking was the primary objective. But, for optimized flame to pot height, the cost advantage was back.
Also, if the stove is being used in the winter months when home heating is ON anyways, 100% of the heat value (both Electric or Gas) is used in heating the house, cooking the food along the process. In this case, cost advantage of Gas is achieved again. (Keep in mind the reverse effect in the summer months).
Recently, I replaced my old gas stove with a new modern gas stove and have observed (no detailed experiment) that it took even longer to cook, than on my old gas stove. Quickly noticed that the modern looking stove grill places the pot higher than in my old stove. Bringing the pot lower, reduced the cooking time back to as was on my older stove.
I wonder, if the Gas stove designers/ manufacturers try to maximize the heat transfer by optimizing the pot height or exploring ways for more efficient heat transfer to the pot.

Pros meet some talented amateurs.
These girls definitely look angelic, but their behavior would suggest otherwise. They are also fairly new to the industry, but again, the skills displayed would seem to contradict this fact. Each performer shows an on-screen ease which is usually only found in more seasoned stars. Natural talent, that's what we have here - loads and loads of natural talent.
After a mere three months in the business, youthful brunette Aimee Tyler has a few things to teach pro Colt Steele. Her oral abilities are impressive and she rides with absolute abandon. Far from camera shy, Aimee loves the lens, moaning and screaming right into it.
Buxom Brittany Skye is no slouch either. Showing off her huge tits and bare pussy for the director, she seems eager to get started. With Rick Masters' spiky head between her legs, she lets out the sweetest, most delicious sigh of pleasure. Like Aimee, her blowjob technique is far above someone with so little experience. She is more than ready for the big time.
The crème de la crème here, though, is a scene in which the sultry Flick Shagwell initiates bubbly blonde Natasha into the world of girl/girl. Natasha's braces add to the effect of an innocent being led down the path to debauchery. Oh, how sweet it is!

Maybe you hide your eReader from friends and family? Then chances are you are a secret Romance reader. Why the secrecy? Smart, strong people read Romances every day. And there's a lot of great Romances out there!
Whenever I tell someone I work in the library, a common response is, "Wow, it must be great to be around books and read all day!" The reality is that reading on the job is considered bad form, and most of us are too busy checking out books, shelving them when they come back, providing reference, managing the network, keeping everyone safe or maintaining buildings to do more than glance at a tempting title.
What do we read in our free time?
Here at the library, we're not just thinking about a Summer of Reading for kids and teens--summer is a great time for EVERYONE to read, and we're already looking ahead to the hot books that you'll be craving. Whether you're a mystery buff, want to get lost in the world of science fiction or fantasy, can't get enough of compelling memoirs and biographies, or like a little bit of everything, we've got a summer book on order for you! Get on the holds list for your favorite author's new book today--or try something new!
On May 1, 2014 the Mystery Writers of America chose the winners for their prestigious Edgar Award. Here is a list of the winner for each category.
Do you find cleaning the bathroom or weeding the garden dreary? Try listening to an audiobook and make your chores something to look forward to. They're also great for commuters and running errands -- you don't feel quite so helpless in traffic jams when you're listening to a great mystery or compelling biography. And family road trips are even better with a well-narrated book that everyone can listen to and discuss.
Gabriel García Márquez died yesterday at the age of 87. NPR has a great audio remembrance of his life and legacy. It mentions his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize for Literature he won in 1982. If you've never read it, it's an amazing speech, weaving together the magic and reality of Latin America in a beautiful piece of writing that's moving, sad in parts, and insightful, yet filled with touches of delight and humor--and ultimately hopeful.

Re: Outlined HIPAA Process?
The HIPAA process is based on a legal interpretation of the statute, not an explicit provision of statute.
The basic underpinning of the process is an argument that, while medical information can permissibly be retained by parties collecting on a medical debt, once the debt is paid, that permissible purpose is gone, and thus requires deletion of any such retained information.
It is not discussed because it is not an explicit provision of statute, and thus is a legal interpretation reserved for members of the bar.
If and when case law affirms the legal validity of the underpinning assumption, there should be no reason to not discuss openly. But precedential case law does not currently exist.

MBR include 3 parts: Master boot code, Partition table and disk signature. For example, I install Windows first and after linux. I don't know master boot code depend on boot loader? (NTLDR or Grub2). When I install linux after windows, how does master boot code change?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Feb 28 '13 at 13:39
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Windows is nasty. It will completely overwrite the MBR (master boot record), disregarding anything already there. With Linux, you can (and usually do, by default) choose to load grub or lilo or another bootloader into the MBR. When it does this, if there is already an OS bootloader there (such as with Windows), grub merely incorporates this disk image into its menu, thereby allowing you to choose which OS/disk image you want to boot.
That being said, the new UEFI bootloaders can be locked down on the hardware level to prevent the "secure booting" of any operating system whose bootloader has been tampered with. This is why there is a big issue in the Linux world nowadays, because with UEFI-enabled ("bootloader locked") versions of Windows, you can no longer let Linux overwrite the MBR (even preserving the installation image placed there), because Windows will refuse to boot, since the MBR/bootloader has been "tampered with". It's all very anti-competitive and evidence that Microsoft is beginning (or has begun) to fail to innovate. Once a corporation goes into litigation or market defense mode (usually via patents or hardware "lock-in" like UEFI), it's usually a sure sign that they've run out of good ideas. Microsoft is at that point in its life.

These guys were getting punched and kicked for free, just for the challenge and love of it, for many years before anybody paid them a dollar for it.
of them were. They WANT to get kicked in the head, it's not a torture or a punishment for them. They want to be there because they love to fight. They love the competition and they love the attention. Other men have other dangerous hobbies that nobody pays them to risk their health doing. Quit trying to make it sound like being a pro fighter is a noble, selfless calling.

If Anderson Silva is worth $10M a fight, he should earn $10M a fight.
So the fighters should gobble up ALL the money on the table?
What about money for growing the sport? Developing new markets? Putting on shows in different continents? Advertising the product?
When the UFC spends money to make "TUF Australia vs England", would it have been better if the money they spent on that series had flown into the pockets of half-a-dozen PPV headliners, like it would in boxing? Because the bigger the % that goes into the fighter's products, the fewer options the UFC has for growing the sport.

Why can't Dana, he and the Mafia bros own the company and therefore have the most to gain 10, 20, and 30 years down the road, none of the fighters around today have any benefit of those gains coming to fruition and therefore should not consider taking the haircut. If Dana White wants him to take haircuts for the long term growth of the UFC make him party to the long term growth by making him a co-owner of the UFC/Zuffa.
Now every PPV headliner has to own a piece of the UFC before you're happy?
Just like how Tom Brady is a co-owner of the Patriots, right?

The UFC allowed him to perform because they saw talent and realized it would be good for their financial well being to have young blood in the sport. He's delivered on his end of the bargain. If he wasn't what the UFC wanted he would have been cut or he would be fodder for another up and comer like Vera is.
Take away Jon Jones, and Dana White is still making money.
Take away the UFC, and Jon Jones does not have an international Nike endorsement. Simple as that. Jones owes his financial fortune to the UFC, because without them he wouldn't have the platform to show his MMA skills.

He has

You can cheer for a main event where the UFC has to shell out $50 million to get two signatures on a piece of paper for one fight. It's worked out great in boxing, after all.
I would rather see the top guys become multi-millionaires, the mid-tier guys earn a good living, and the journeymen make a living wage.

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles
Subscribe to our Nanotechnology Spotlight feed
Genomics and proteomics, the studies of genes and proteins, provide the underlying basis for many advances in drug development and effective treatments of diseases. These studies heavily rely on unveiling the behavior of a single DNA or protein in an investigative sample. You could compare this challenge to somehow finding, then catching and monitoring a particular fish in a vast ocean. The scientific term for 'catching the fish' is 'immobilization' - a powerful technique for the study of biochemical systems that allows for the continuous observation of dynamic behavior of a chosen target. Immobilization methods anchor the to be observed molecule onto a surface in order to restrict it from escaping the observation volume. Researchers have now developed a new platform which consists of a carbon nanotube nanoneedle for capturing, isolating and measuring the activity of miniscule amounts of proteins.Posted: Oct 3rd, 2008
Artificial skin already exists that can detect pressure and recently, thanks to carbon nanotube rubber, it now even is stretchable. Then there is stretchable artificial skin that is used, for instance, to provide grafts for human burns victims, but it is insensitive to heat and pressure. Skin-like sensitivity, or the capability to recognize tactile information, will be an essential feature of future generations of robots. Of course you could also dream up some sci-fi scenarios where artificial electronic skin vastly enhances human perception and performance. The development of electronic skin requires high-performance tactile sensors that mimic human skin in terms of touch sensation over a large area, high flexibility, resolution, and sensitivity comparable to a human finger, as well as ease of signal extraction for speed and implementation. A recent review article summarizes the current state of developing artificial touch, an area where significant progress has been made over the past few years.Posted: Sep 30th, 2008
'Smart' is the key buzz word used by materials engineers when they describe the future of coatings, textiles, building structures, vehicles and just any material that you can think of. Materials are made 'smart' when they are engineered to have properties that change in a controlled manner under the influence of external stimuli such as mechanical stress, temperature, humidity, electric charge, magnetic fields etc. Smart materials have some form of sensor capability that detects a change in the material or its environment that then triggers some kind of action. Not only for use in smart materials but as general sensor materials, especially for monitoring large areas, the development of materials that act as 'chemical paints' - or coatings - by responding to a (bio)chemical parameter with a change in their optical properties has developed into an exciting new field. In a typical application, the object of interest is painted and the color or fluorescence of the paint is monitored by methods of optical imaging. This technique represents a simple but exciting new technology to monitor (bio)chemical and even physical parameters over relatively large areas and in real time without having to look at only a minute sample through a microscope.Posted: Sep 26th, 2008
Carbon nanomaterials have been extensively used in electroanalysis, and the most common forms are spherical fullerenes, cylindrical nanotubes, and carbon fibers and blacks. Since the discovery that individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be used as nanoscale transistors, researchers have recognized their outstanding potential for electronic detection of biomolecules in solution, possibly down to single-molecule sensitivity. To detect biologically derived electronic signals, CNTs are often functionalized with linkers such as proteins and peptides to interface with soluble biologically relevant targets. Now, for the first time, scientists have tested nanometal decorated graphene (actually graphite nanoplatelets, a thickness of 10 nm would contain approximately 30 graphene sheets, considering an interlayer spacing of 0.335 nm) in biosensor application. As it turned out, this novel biosensor is among the best reported to date in both sensing performance and production cost.Posted: Sep 8th, 2008
Borrowing from nature's micro- and nanoscale propulsion systems, nanotechnology researchers have successfully used motor proteins to transport nanosized cargo in molecular sorting and nano-assembly devices. In so-called gliding assays, surface-attached motors propel cytoskeletal filaments, which in turn transport a cargo. However, cargo and motors both attach to the filament lattice and will affect each other. While an effect of cargo loading on transport speed has been described before, it has never been explained very well. To study this effect, scientists in Germany have observed single kinesin-1 molecules on streptavidin coated microtubules. They found that individual kinesin-1 motors frequently stopped upon encounters with attached streptavidin molecules. This work helps to understand the interactions of kinesin-1 and obstacles on the microtubule surface. An interesting, possibly even more important side result is that this understanding will not only help to optimize transport assays, balancing speed and cargo-loading, but can be used as a novel method for the detection of proteins as well.Posted: Sep 4th, 2008
Detecting the presence of a given substance at the molecular level, down to a single molecule, remains a considerable challenge for many nanotechnology sensor applications that range from nanobiotechnology research to environmental monitoring and antiterror or military applications. Currently, chemical functionalization techniques are used to specify what a nanoscale detector will sense. For biological molecules, this might mean developing an antibody/antigen pair, or an alternative synthetically generated ligand. For chemical gases, it is much more challenging to develop the right 'glue' that sticks a given gas to a substrate. The advantage of spectroscopic techniques such as Raman, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is that they are label-free, i.e. they require no preconditioning in order to identify a given analyte. They are also highly selective, capable of distinguishing species that are chemically or functionally very similar. On the downside, spectroscopic methods face enormous challenges in measuring dilute concentrations of an analyte and generally involve the use of large, expensive equipment. This article describes a novel chemical detection technique called nanomechanical resonance spectroscopy.Posted: Aug 27th, 2008
The term biosensing relates to systems that include electronic, photonic, biologic, chemical and mechanical means for producing signals that can be used for the identification, monitoring or control of biological phenomena. The resulting biosensors are devices that employ biological components such as proteins to provide selectivity and/or amplification for the detection of biochemical materials for use in medical diagnostics, environmental analysis or chemical and biological warfare agent detection. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has become the technology of choice for label-free detection of proteins and other biomolecules. SPR is based on the excitation of a surface plasmon at the interface between a dielectric and a thin layer of metal, typically gold. Once the sample is covered with the nanostructured gold layer (or another suitable metal), the surface absorbs light at certain wavelength. The absorption maximum is influenced by the refractive index of the fluid at the gold surface. This effect is called localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and it is used for detection of presence of biomolecules, such as specific proteins.Posted: Aug 4th, 2008
Much is being written about nanotechnology's role in vastly improving the detection and treatment of cancer. Detection of cancer at the earliest stage provides the greatest chance of survival. Unfortunately, cancer has a logarithmic growth rate. A one cubic centimeter size tumor may have 40-50 cell divisions and typically doctors don't see 80% of the life of a tumor. The detection of a protein pattern in blood serum can be helpful in evidencing a possible presence of cancer at an early stage. The problem is that 'early' means the capability of detecting very few molecules in dilute conditions. Now, in another step to improve the design and fabrication of devices for single molecule detection, new research has demonstrated an experimental capability of detecting down to as few as 10 organic molecules deposited on a quantum dot.Posted: Jul 23rd, 2008

Overall decent. I think the amounts for the ingredients were way off. There was no way I was going to fit 4 liters of water PLUS everything else into my 5 qt crock-pot. They don't get too much bigger than that. So I adjusted several of the amounts. The taste was a little bland and I felt there was too much onion even though I used a medium instead of a large.

Unreal Tournament 2003 PC
- Publisher: Atari
- Release Date: Sep 30, 2002
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
It's insanely gorgeous... Beautiful graphics, fantastically designed maps, and slight changes in gameplay.
With the exception of the extremely, though not awe-inspiringly fun bombing run mode, UT2003 could essentially be Quake 1996 with one hell of an Oprah Winfrey style makeover.
UT's beautiful skin may be somewhat simple, but its biology is complex, lovely, and fun.
Once you get past the initial phase of disappointment UT2003 delivers everything youd want from a FPS. The action is intense, the presentation flawless and more importantly it just feels great, definitely packing that oh yeah factor in spades.
Exciting, nonstop combat in wild settings, all brought to life with a stunning, state-of-the-art graphics engine that leaves its competition in the dust.
While not perfect by any means, there's enough fun in Bombing Run and Double Domination alone to make this one worth picking up for some multiplayer fun.
Underneath all of that polish, at its heart this is the same basic game we've been playing for years -- you'll either love it or hate it for that very reason.
There is no excuse for a game to perform so badly at the lowest settings, especially on a system which meets the recommended system requirements. Unless you have all the latest hardware, dont bother with UT2K3 for a while.
With bigger guns and even bigger levels, Unreal Tournament 2003 seems to say: size does matter.
While UT 2003 doesnt revolutionize its genre, it contains beautifully presented high-speed action that first-person shooter fans crave.
Game InformerIf you're a devotee to "Quake," "UT," FPSs, or online games in general, this is certainly a ride you won't want to miss. [Dec 2002, p.147]
From the minute you install the game you will be amazed how wonderful this game looks, and plays.
UT2003 may not be a revolution, but after a raft of unexciting "Counter-Strike" clones over the last couple of years, its the finest game youll find gracing any server right now.
netjakThe game is drop dead gorgeous...As far as the gameplay is concerned, the overall physics are still the best in the industry.
An absolutely excellent game. Sure, it does not redefine the genre...but it doesnt just sit on its predecessors laurels, it has something of its own to bring in a most impressive graphics and physics engine, an incredible bot AI ..., as well as very impressive level design and great multiplayer capabilities.
A fast-paced, fantastic looking fragfest that is an absolute blast to play... It would be nice if there was more to the single player game, though.
The game is regressive in a sense that it doesn't bring anything new to the field of online shooters - it's as straightforward and arcadish as online shooters get, and at the same time, it's highly progressive with its incredible physics, 3D, and net code.
PC GamerGorgeous gib-filled excitement for deathmatch players with beefy systems. [Holiday 2002, p.112]
The worst crime ever committed against PC gamers was releasing the sequel to UT without an Assault mode.
Play MagazineCombined with top-notch sound effects, new weapons, and special moves, it will leave you speechless. [Dec 2002, p.88]
Its visceral intensity is off the chartsother shooters seem frail and timid in comparison.
Computer Gaming WorldMinus community support, amounts to a visually amazing, dependable, but overall mediocre online first-person shooter. [Jan 2003, p.96]
Cheat Code CentralIt's just been so toned down from the original that on one hand while I applaud the balancing of the weapons, on the other I miss the raw intensity that permeated "Unreal Tournament."
Its the best that the genre has to offer thus far, and with a new detailed mapmaker, new weaponry and exceptional graphics, sound and game play.
GameNowThe graphic detail of the levels is astounding, the sounds all have the "oomph" and there's enough variety in the game types to keep you busy. [Dec 2002, p.78]
Entertainment WeeklyDelivers plenty of eye candy - from sprawling outdoor vistas to blasts of mutagenic sludge - but doesn't live up to the expectations of shooters in this post-Halo world. [25 Oct 2002, p.83]

On Monday, we headed out to Apple Hill in an attempt to avoid the crowds. The kids and I had planned to go the week before on their early release day but we called ahead and were told the apples wouldn't be ready for at least another week. We thought we would be timing it just right but were surprised to find when we arrived at our normal u-pick place (Denver Dan's) there were practically no apples at all. One of the ladies working there told us they'd had a bad season, winter to three days of summer and then back to snow. She said the apples still tasted just fine but were small and blemished. We grabbed a bag and headed out in the hopes that we'd be able to find something. We managed to fill a bag but they were definitely not the same apples from years past.
The kids were asking for apple cider and we were directed to Bolster's, the next orchard up the way. It was a totally different story at Bolster's. They had just opened their apples up for picking two days prior and the trees were full. The apples still weren't the normal beautiful Apple Hill apples but we had a fantastic time. The weather was beautiful and we had the place to ourselves.
It was Jacob's first time picking apples and he was more interested in swatting at them than plucking.
When he did manage to get one from the tree, he looked at it for approximately two seconds and then tossed it on the ground, sending a sister scrambling to grab it and stick it in the bag. The girls loved using the apple picker for those hard to reach apples. They could have happily picked all day long.
I love this expression. It usually means, "I'm about to do something I know I shouldn't. Are you going to try and stop me?"
We bought a little apple cider on our way out and were sharing one cup between the five of us. Jacob couldn't be bothered to wait for his turn and so Doug gave him a little from the jug. He apparently really likes cider.
We had noticed on the way in that Larsen's Apple Barn was open. In the past on our visits, it either hasn't been open or was just overcrowded.
As there were no cars, we stopped in and were pleasantly surprised to find a little farm and antique museum in the back.
At their bake shop we picked up some apple, walnut, and chocolate chip cookies for the road. They were delicious!
The lady in the shop offered the kids free caramel apples which they happily accepted. Anna was hoping the caramel would be sticky enough to pull out her two front teeth as they're both crazy loose right now.
We also grabbed an apple pie to have after dinner with a little caramel. It was alright but definitely not our favorite.
I had wanted some apple goodies from Mother Lode's as they have delicious apple everything but they were closed. To be honest though, it's just downright hard to beat the apple pies from Bishop's Pumpkin Farm right down the road. I was so happy that we had another fun Apple Hill experience as we've learned on previous visits that if you don't time things right, it quickly goes from Apple Hill to Apple Hell! This was more like Apple Heaven with a just a few blemishes here and there. :)

University of Liverpool researchers found that consumption of the dried fruit not only boosted weight loss in a group of 100 overweight individuals but also enhanced feelings of fullness, making it less likely they would snack on unhealthy foods.
"These are the first data to demonstrate both weight loss and no negative side effects when consuming prunes as part of a weight management diet," said Liverpool psychologist, Jo Harrold, M.D. who led the 12-week study. "Indeed in the long term they may be beneficial to dieters by tackling hunger and satisfying appetite; a major challenge when you are trying to maintain weight loss."
Jason Halford, a Liverpool professor of experimental psychology, added that maintaining a healthy diet is challenging, with many people unable to achieve the recommended five to nine servings of fresh fruit and vegetables daily.
"Dried fruit can provide a useful and convenient addition to the diet, especially as controlling appetite during dieting can be tough," he said.
For the study, researchers divided the participants into two groups – those who ate prunes every day and those who were given advice on healthy snacks. After three months, the individuals who ate prunes lost more weight and had a greater reduction in belt size than those who did not.
The study also found that the prune eaters experienced greater weight loss during the last four weeks of the study and had increased feelings of fullness.

We present positions, kinematics and the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) for 35 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the nearest starburst galaxy IC10 extending out to 3 kpc from the galaxy's centre. We take advantage of the deep imaging and spectroscopic capabilities provided by the Faint Object Camera and Spectrograph on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. The PN velocities were measured through the slitless-spectroscopy technique, which allows us to explore the kinematics of IC10 with high precision. Using these velocities, we conclude that there is a kinematic connection between the H i envelope located around IC10 and the galaxy's PN population. By assuming that the PNe in the central regions and in the outskirts have similar ages, our results put strong observational constraints on the past tidal interactions in the Local Group. This is so because by dating the PN central stars, we, therefore, infer the epoch of a major episode of star formation likely linked to the first encounter of the H i extended envelope with the galaxy. Our deep [O iii] images also allow us to use the PNLF to estimate a distance modulus of 24.1 ± 0.25, which is in agreement with recent results in the literature based on other techniques.

But now I have the following question:
what files can safely be deleted from the main wp-dir?
I mean, I quess the readme.html or the import-files from the admin-dir can be deleted, but what other files can be deleted as well?

Broccoli Spaghetti
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
I got this from an Italian co-worker after having it at a work pot-luck. The flavor is really intense, and this can be served as either a side-dish or a meatless meal-in-itself. You can really use any type of pasta you prefer, I first had it with spaghetti, so that's always my preference. Really easy recipe. Edited: Psst.. please use real garlic, not the chopped stuff in the jar.. I repeat - use FRESH GARLIC, not the stuff in the jar, else you will be doomed to a bland result with no flavor. If made as directed, you will have a robustly flavorful pasta dish!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 bunch fresh broccoli
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper (I like more!)
- 1 cup water
- salt, to taste
- 8 ounces spaghetti, cooked
- 4 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)
- Chop the broccoli fine and add it to a sauce pan.
- Add garlic, olive oil, pepper and the water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
- Break up the broccoli as it cooks so that the end result is a mushy, slightly chunky green sauce.
- You may need to add more water or oil to keep it at a 'wet', pourable consistency if the liquid evaporates too quickly. You basically want it to be the thickness of a tomato pasta sauce. Add salt to taste; I only add the salt at the end, because if you do so earlier on, the saltiness may become more intense when the mixture reduces.
- Serve over cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle with parm if desired.

This made for a great summertime pasta sauce! I enjoyed it a lot, though I can't say I followed the recipe closely. Instead, I used more black pepper, as suggested, and added a chicken bouillon cube and healthy sprinkling of garlic powder. Because of the amount of garlic I used and bouillon, I omitted salt. I also kept it rather chunky, more the consistency of a salsa than a sauce. Parmesan was good, but not needed for a full flavor. Definitely, definitely adding this to my repertoire.
Just didn't care for it. Nothing outstanding, but was able to use up the broccoli I had in my refrig!
This dish was okay, but seems to be missing something. An addition of chicken stock or red pepper flakes might improve the flavor.

Q: My meringue cookies did not dry out and become crunchy, what went wrong... any tips?
hard to know, but there are a lot of factors that can affect meringue. Humidity is a big one - if it is humid where you are, it may take a lot longer. Also, could be over temperature. Have you checked yours?
I agree with jwolf. The weather can really affect meringues. Summer weather, unless you are under a nice high pressure front, can make them chewy, stick-to-your-teeth, even gloppy! For that reason, I usually favor cooler or drier weather for making meringues.
Humidity of any kind sure can make them sticky. How long did you dry them and at what temp?
Preheated at 300 f. put in oven, turned off & let set overnight. Starting at 9:00pm.
Preheated at 300 f. put in oven, turned off & let set overnight. Starting at 9:00pm.
Barbara is a trusted source on General Cooking.
In addition to humidity, were the whites beaten to stiff peaks? I like to add a pinch of salt to the egg whites--it helps them hold their shape so they come out crunchy. Also, how does your oven run? If it runs cool, the meringues just may not have dried out completely.
The thing with meringue is that it must cook slowly,in low heat - and it helps if you leave the oven door a bit opened.If yours shuts by itself put a wooden spoon to leave a gap.And drbabs has a point:stiff peaks are important.Also,the sugar has to be superfine or made into a syrup,and then poured slowly.
Joanne Chang is the pastry chef/co-owner of Flour Bakery+Cafe and chef/co-owner of Myers+Chang in Boston.
We don't even attempt to make meringues if it is humid outside. They just become soggy and chewy. And as everyone has said above, be sure that the whites are beaten to stiff peaks.
All of the above received wisdom adds up to the fact that making or storing meringues in a humid climate is a challenge. To give yourself an advantage, add a generous pinch of cream of tartar (tartaric acid) to the whites as you're beating them and before you add a drop of sugar. Cream of tartar encourages the ovalbumen (the principal protein in EWs) to unfold and more readily accept the sugar that you'll add by the tablespoon. The best way to dry meringues is in an oven on the pilot light overnight. Persevere!
I did all of the above.
Barbara is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Pamela, did you post on this question because you're having a problem with meringues? I've had to do more troubleshooting because the oven where I live now does not hold temperature well. I keep a pizza stone in the bottom of the oven. What I did for this year's meringues was I heated the oven to 350 before I even started the batter. Then I put the cookies in at that temperature for ten minutes. After 10 minutes, I turned the oven down to 200, and left the cookies in at 200 for two hours. They came out light and crunchy-- the way we like them. You may have to experiment with the time a bit because every oven is different. I hope this works for you.
Are you say that I could have lower my temp to say 200ºf or warm for all night with the door open?
In my meringue I add 1 tsp of white vinegar and 1 tsp of cornflour. They will come nicely tick and dry even in the center, no chewy. Promised you would not taste the vinegar.

Vt. Guard postpones drill for 3k due to shutdownOctober 02,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - The head of the Vermont National Guard says he's postponing the October drill weekend because of the federal government shutdown.
The guard's Plans, Operations and Training Branch is working to reschedule as it prioritizes training requirements. The event had been scheduled for this weekend.
Maj. Gen. Steven Cray says it's too early to say how the federal government shutdown will affect guard readiness, but officials are working to minimize disruptions to members and families.
On Tuesday, the guard announced that about 450 workers were being furloughed.
Meanwhile, state officials say the impact of the shutdown should be minimal, if it doesn't last too long.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

Reversible Audio Watermarking
In this paper, we present a fragile and high capacity-watermarking technique for digital audio signals. The watermark itself is reversible, which in this context refers to the ability to restore the original input signal in the watermark detector. In summary, the approach works as follows. In the encoder, the dynamic range of the input signal is limited (i.e. the signal is compressed), and a part of the unused bits are deployed for encoding the watermark. Another part of these bits is used to convey information for the bit-exact reconstruction of signal. It is the purpose of the watermark decoder to extract the watermark and reconstruct the input signal by restoring the original dynamic range. In this study we extensively tested this new algorithm with a variety of settings using audio items with different characteristics. These experiments showed that for 16bit PCM audio sampled at 44.1 kHz, capacities close to 44000 bits per second can be achieved, while perceptual degradation of the watermarked signal remained acceptable.

To determine the frequency of various causes of orthostatic hypotension.
Tertiary referral center.
One hundred patients with moderate to severe orthostatic hypotension.
Twenty-seven percent of the patients had primary autonomic failure, 35% had secondary autonomic failure, and 38% had hypotension without evidence of generalized autonomic degeneration.
In a tertiary referral center, only a minority of patients with severe orthostatic hypotension will have Shy-Drager syndrome or Bradbury-Eggleston syndrome as their primary disease. Occasional patients who initially appear to have Bradbury-Eggleston syndrome ultimately prove to have Shy-Drager syndrome or paraneoplastic autonomic failure. Antidepressant drugs, even in low doses, remain a major overlooked cause of orthostatic hypotension.(Arch Intern Med. 1994;154:1620-1624)

Commissary Blackberry Cobbler
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 40 mins
I was shopping in the commissary one day when an old lady struck up a conversation with me. She saw the ingredients in my cart and asked if I was making a Banana Pudding. I told her I was, so she proceeded to give me tips and recipes for her favorite desserts to serve her husband. This is one I did try and it was delicious. I tend to adore people at both ends of the life spectrum - infants and the very elderly.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (2 lb) package frozen blackberries
- 1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 3⁄4 cup melted butter
- Place frozen blackberries in bottom of 9X13 baking dish.
- Sprinkle cake mix over blackberries.
- Cut butter into little 1/2 inch cubes and"dot" the butter over the cake mix.
- Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes until brown and bubbly.
- I serve this with vanilla ice cream.
Most Helpful
I have made this recipe for years and it is always a hit! My secret is to use a stick of cold butter and grate it evenly over the top and sprinkle with cinnamon. The butter melts quickly and results in an even brown topping. Also, I like to use a vanilla cake mix.This recipe works well with blueberries also. Fresh is best, but frozen is fine and easy to keep on hand for a quick dessert. Everyone loves this and I hate to tell them how easy it is to make!!!
What a great recipe - not to mention easy. I was skeptical, but it turned out great. I have dinner at my mother-in-law's house every Sunday . . . and I'm in charge of dessert. They'll be seeing this frequently!
While this isn't your traditional black berry cobbler, this was delicious! This reminds me of a dump cake with black berries. So good, thanks so much for sharing.

I think I'll just go with making it into an object and making a list of object references.
I looked into that a bit, didn't help me much; in-fact, not at all.
Maybe explaining what I want to use it for will make things easier.
I have a loop with a 'drawLine' in it, and for anyone who...
Nope. I am asking how to define a array/list (or whatever it is called) that contains other lists;
Hi! I am finding it hard to make a list that contains another list of ints, like this;
int[] xList = new int[500]; // Initialize xList
int[] xListNr2 = new int[500]; //Another intList
Saying you "know this java site" (I presume you mean "this is) and still post an irrelevant thread in a topic called "What's wrong with my code" is no excuse for doing just that.
Also, please...
Ever tried "createMovie movies = new createMovie();" and "movies.createMovies()"? That would probably do you good.
Just a heads up, where is the "break;" in case 'X' or case '0'?
You could make the user choose through some sort of menu before typing in numbers, however, this would be rather irritating and clunky.
What you would want to do is to check for a '+', '-' or a...
I guess you mean that the user puts in the values and the program calculates it?
System.out.print("Potencial energy (" + m*g*h + ") + kinetic energy (" + m*v*v + ") = " + m*g*h + m*v*v + "...
Well, you want to make a string out a certain number of letters in the text file, for example you can check if it appears in one row by saving that row of text as let's say String s1 and compare it...
I take some bad decisions so that I can complete it in time.
I could use this (though I already know the angle so that tan^-1 business isn't neccessary), but I took the easy way out and made a list of squares with collision detection of their own.
I think I'll go with the easy way and check for squares at each end, the only thing that would look weird then would be if the sword is angled at around 45° and gets thrown on to a corner of a...
Ok, is this way of cheating (not doing it from scratch) very costful?

Yes, the green boxes are only supposed to be red when the blue vector is in direct contact.
--- Update ---
You know what? I'll post a video
As of now, my code checks if either the vectors endpoints are between the rectangles y-values and if they are, it does the same for the x-values, however this is not correct, more andvanced math...

Reinnervate and Tecan Trading are joining forces to develop a range of automated solutions for 3-D cell culture. The products will be based on Tecan's Freedom EVO® liquid-handling workstations and Reinnervate's Alvetex® Scaffold 3-D cell culturing technology.
Alvetex products are based on a highly porous, polystyrene scaffold structure with a uniform and well-defined architecture that provides an environment for cells to acquire and maintain their natural 3-D shape and organization during incubation. It therefore gives more biologically relevant data by overcoming the limitations of traditional monolayer cultures.
In combination with the flexibility and reliability of the Freedom EVO platform, the companies expect to provide powerful solutions for automated growth and maintenance of 3-D cell cultures, allowing researchers to develop more reliable and powerful cellular assays.

The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample of U.S. families that began in 1968. With data collected on the same families and their descendents for 36 waves over 41 years (as of 2009), the PSID can justifiably be considered a cornerstone for empirical social science research in the U.S. Through its long-term measures of economic and social well-being, and based on its weighted representative sample of U.S. families, the study has compelled researchers to address the dynamics of social, economic, demographic, and health processes and their interrelationships. NICHD has co-sponsored the collection of the biennial PSID core interview in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011. This project will build upon this prior investment by collecting, in 2013 and 2015, core data on family dynamics and background and new data on education and on newborns supplemented by administrative linkages. The specific aims are to administer three PSID modules: (1) a family dynamics and background module, comprising 8.5 minutes of survey questions on marriage, fertility, family composition, family background, childhood circumstances, and related topics; (2) an education module that will measure changes in educational attainment and educational experiences between waves for all persons 16 years of age and older and will be used for linking education enrollment reports to national databases on educational institutions; and (3) a newborn module that will collect detailed information for all births that occur between waves and will allow us to obtain linked birth records from state vital statistics databases that provide gold-standard information on birth outcomes. After collection, the data will be processed and distributed in the PSID Online Data Center, which will allow users to create customized extracts and codebooks using a cross-year variable index. In addition, outreach and support will continue to be provided to current and new data users. The proposed modules will make PSID the only long-term panel representative of the full U.S. population that can be used to study family dynamics, investments in children, and well-being over the life course, across generations, and over time.

His new media campaign against guns.

Numb nuts seems to forget that the NRA is made out of WE THE PEOPLE. Why do WE THE PEOPLE have to protect the CONSTITUTION from politicians that swore to protect it?
I do hope Mayor Nanny Bloomie is right because I want the NRA to be more powerful than he is.
"We the people" make the NRA "powerful" to protect us from "you" Bealzaberg!
And the nanny is powerful only if we let him be powerful.
