The Secrets to Softening Brown Sugar
Picture this: you're measuring out your ingredients before embarking on a cooking or baking adventure, but when you get to the bag of brown sugar, it appears to have hardened into a solid, rock-like substance. Chances are, if you're a frequent baker, you've found yourself in this situation. But can this problem be remedied? Happily, the answer is yes–there are a few tried and true tricks to bring brown sugar back to life.
To understand these methods, it's first important to understand why brown sugar hardens. Unlike regular granulated sugar, brown sugar is enriched with molasses, which lends a unique flavor but also gives brown sugar that unique moist quality. According to the Domino Sugar Web site, "Brown sugar becomes hard when moisture in the sugar evaporates. Therefore, the various methods used for softening brown sugar are intended to return moisture to the sugar."
Knowing this helps make the sometimes unusual methods make a little more sense: basically, the function is to re-introduce moisture into the mixture. Here are several ways to do it, depending on how much time you have.
If you have 2 to 3 days:
Option one:
Place the hardened brown sugar in an airtight container. Before putting on the lid, cover the sugar with a sheet of plastic wrap (to form a slight barrier). On top of this, place a piece of damp (but not dripping), wet paper towel. Place the lid on container and seal tightly. After two to three days, the sugar ought to have absorbed the moisture, and you should be able to stir it with a fork and separate it. Keep in the airtight container; the sugar should remain soft.
Repeat the above steps, but instead of wet paper towel, insert either a slice of bread or an apple slice (it's ok to have up to half an apple, cut in slices so they'll fit). Why white bread? Because it's moist, it will add some humidity to the mixture which will re-moisten the sugar; also, because white bread is fairly bland, it will not impart a strong flavor on the sugar. Why apple? Like the bread, the moisture in the apple will re-moisten the sugar, and the flavor imparted is generally harmonious with brown sugar (as opposed to, say, a slice of lemon!).
Advantage to this method:
The moisture added in these ways is more even, and will soften your brown sugar for as long as it stays in an airtight container.
If you have about 20 minutes:
If you need to use your hardened brown sugar fairly soon, preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Remove the brown sugar from the package and transfer it to an oven-safe baking dish that has a little room so the sugar won't fly when you break it up. Watch the sugar carefully–you will start to notice its texture beginning to soften. Remove from the oven and test breaking up the brown sugar with a spoon. If it is soft enough, measure the amount you need right away. Be extremely careful while measuring because the sugar can get quite hot. But do not wait for the sugar to cool, because unlike the 2-3 day method, the sugar will re-harden rather rapidly after this method.
If you need it right now:
Remove the brown sugar from the package and place it in a microwave safe bowl (you may want to consider using a sharp object to break off a portion if it is a large brick in the bag). Once again use a dish that has ample room so that that has a little room so the sugar won't fly when you break it up. Cover the sugar with two pieces of wet (not dripping) paper towels. On top of the paper towels, cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Heat on high in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes (this may vary depending on the strength of your microwave). Remove from the microwave and stir with a fork, but be careful, because the sugar may be rather hot. Like the oven method, take care with the hot sugar but measure it as quickly as possible, as the sugar re-moistened in this method will re-harden rapidly as the sugar cools.

Although hardened brown sugar is a fairly common kitchen complaint, it really need not be a problem. There are some preventative measures you can take to keep it moist longer.
First, consider keeping brown sugar in an airtight container. This will help seal in the moisture and make it last longer.
Another method is to store brown sugar in the freezer and let it thaw overnight or several hours before baking. If you decide you need some of the chilled sugar right away, you can heat it in the microwave (no paper towels or plastic wrap needed) to thaw it out quickly.
Or, you could always make your own brown sugar to order by mixing regular granulated sugar with a few teaspoons of molasses in a food processor. Easy, and won't your friends be impressed?
Hopefully these methods will keep your brown sugar's texture and taste in good shape. Which method do you prefer?

Nice. I have a little terra cotta disc that lives in my brown sugar to keep it sift, and I always thought it was absorbing moisture FROM the sugar to keep it sift. I guess it's the opposite, and it absorbs water from the air to ensure there's always some available. Whaddaya know!
I have used the apple method before and also the microwave option too. I never though about freezing it though. Thanks for the tip.
I keep my brown sugar in a lock-n-lock container. Keeps it fresh for months. Just make sure it is lock-n-lock brand, not the knock-offs.
I've kept a piece of bread in my brown sugar for years. Sort of amazing since the sugar never hardens and the bread never molds!
I do change the piece of bread sometimes – every year or 2. U don't need a lg piece – size of a tablespoon is big enough!
I was making crock pot oatmeal one evening and had company there. Brown sugar was hard. Put it in the microwave in it's original package about 10-15 sec. at a time until it was soft AFTER I removed the metal twisty tie.
I keep my brown sugar in the fridge and I never have a problem with it hardening up.
That's really cool! Very useful! Thank you!
thank you sooo much for this tip – I just discovered last week that my huge bag of brown sugar was as hard as a rock – off to try and soften it now
Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for
aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a
little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed ..
Any suggestions? Many thanks!

MEMPHIS — Because the Dallas Mavericks qualified for the playoffs this season, after missing out last year, doesn't mean this has been a successful season.That's what Mavs owner Mark Cuban said prior to Wednesday's regular season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies.Cuban measures success in the NBA only one way — in championships. By his method, with 30 teams in the league, there will be 29 losers and one winner.However, Cuban admits that because the Mavs went from 41-41 and missing the playoffs last year to the postseason this season, that it is at least a step in the right direction.Last season was challenging for the Mavs because right knee surgery cost forward Dirk Nowitzki the first 27 games of the year. Coach Rick Carlisle noted that this year also has been challenging."It is supposed to be challenging," Carlisle said. "You've got to dig deep. As coaches, we're always telling the players that they've got to dig deep. If they don't see you digging deep too, and toeing the line and doing everything that you can do, you're going to have a hard time selling them on the importance of it. "These aren't easy jobs. That's why they're challenging and that's why there are so few."Bucks at a bargain Cuban thinks the Milwaukee Bucks' owner, former U.S. senator Herb Kohl, got short-changed Wednesday when he agreed to sell the team to hedge-fund billionaires Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry for $550 million."I think [the Bucks are] worth a lot more than that," Cuban said. "They got a bargain."Cuban said a team's value can't be based on what happened in the past."You can't look backwards," Cuban said. "You've got to look forward."I love the senator. He's a great guy. He taught me a lot. He's a good dude."Cuban bought the Mavs from Ross Perot Jr. on Jan. 4, 2000, for $285 million. He said he'll turn a profit with the Mavs this year for just the third or fourth time.Kohl bought the Bucks in 1985 for $18 million.Odom's last standThe last time owner Mark Cuban was in Memphis was also Lamar Odom's last game with the Mavs.It was April 7, 2012. Cuban and Odom had a disagreement at halftime because of, among other things, Odom's bad attitude. Two days later, the Mavs released Odom."That was the last time I was here," Cuban said. "[The incident] didn't even cross my mind until now."Asked his opinion on the New York Knicks signing Odom to a contract on Wednesday after not playing all season, Cuban said: "I don't have any opinion one way or the other. Don't know, don't care."Briefly• Cuban spent part of Wednesday in New York on the set of Good Morning America to help promote his side gig, the television show Shark Tank.• Of the eight playoff teams in the Western Conference, Cuban said: "I don't think anybody is afraid of anybody."

Dennis v0.5 released! New lint rules, new template linter, bunch of fixes, and now a service!
What is it?
Dennis is a Python command line utility (and library) for working with localization. It includes:
- a linter for finding problems in strings in .po files like invalid Python variable syntax which leads to exceptions
- a template linter for finding problems in strings in .pot files that make translator's lives difficult
- a statuser for seeing the high-level translation/error status of your .po files
- a translator for strings in your .po files to make development easier
v0.5 released!
Since the last release announcement, there have been a handful of new lint rules added:
- W301: Translation consists of just white space
- W302: The translation is the same as the original string
- W303: There are descrepancies in the HTML between the original string and the translated string
Additionally, there's a new template linter for your .pot files which can catch things like:
- W500: Strings with variable names like o, O, 0, l, 1 which can be hard to read and are often replaced with a similar looking letter by the translator.
- W501: One-character variable names which don't give translators enough context about what's being translated.
- W502: Multiple unnamed variables which can't be reordered because the order the variables are expanded is specified outside of the string.
Dennis in action
Want to see Dennis in action, but don't want to install Dennis? I threw it up as a service, though it's configured for SUMO: http://dennis-sumo.paas.allizom.org/
I may change the URL and I might create a SUMO-agnostic version. If you're interested, let me know.
Where to go for more

Fiddling with Kibana
I just kicked off a script that's going to take around 4 hours to complete mostly because the API it's running against doesn't want me doing more than 60 requests/minute. Given I've got like 13k requests to do, that takes a while.
I'm (ab)using Elasticsearch to store the data from my script so that I can analyze it more easily--terms facet is pretty handy here.
Given that I've got some free time now, I spent 5 minutes setting up Kibana.
- download the tarball
- untar it into a directory
- edit kibana-3.0.1/config.js to point to my local Elasticsearch cluster (the defaults were fine, so I could have skipped this step)
- cd kibana-3.0.1/ and run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 5000 (I'm using a Python-y thing here, but you can use any web-server)
- point my browser to http://localhost:5000
Now I'm using Kibana.
Now that I've got it working, first thing I do is click on the cog in the upper right hand corner, click on the Index tab and change the index to the one I wanted to look at. Now I'm looking at the data my script is producing.
The Kibana site says Kibana excels at timestamped data, but I think it's helpful for what I'm looking at now despite it not being timestamped. I get immediate terms facets on the fields for the doc type I'm looking at. I can run queries, pick specific columns, reorder, do graphs, save my dashboard to look at later, etc.
If you're doing Elasticsearch stuff, it's worth looking at if only to give you another tool to look at data with.

Dennis v0.4 released! Tweaks to Python 3 support, overhauled linter, string-by-string lint rules ignoring
What is it?
Dennis is a Python command line utility (and library) for working with localization. It includes:
- a linter for finding problems in strings in .po files like invalid Python variable syntax which leads to exceptions
- a statuser for seeing the high-level translation/error status of your .po files
- a translator for strings in your .po files to make development easier
v0.4 released!
v0.4 sports an overhauled linter. Instead of two rules ("malformed" and whatever the other one was), it now has a bunch of much smaller and more specific rules! Also, I renamed the rules so they are all numbered!
See the table of error/warning rules and their numbers here: http://dennis.readthedocs.org/en/v0.4/linting.html#warnings-and-errors
Additionally, dennis hits false positives for a variety of reasons. If you're doing a "keep the errors out of production!" kind of thing, then false positives can prevent locale files from making it. That sucks!
To alleviate this, dennis now allows you to tell it what to ignore in the extracted comments. What's an extracted comment? It's a comment in the .po file that starts with #.. You can specify the extracted comments with "context" or similar mechanisms depending on how you're extracting strings. You can tell dennis to skip specific rules or skip all the rules on a string-by-string basis.
Ignore everything:
#. dennis-ignore: * msgid "German makes up 10% of our visitor base" msgstr "A német a látogatóbázisunk 10%-át teszi ki"
Ignore specific rules (comma-separated):
#. dennis-ignore: E101,E102,E103 msgid "German makes up 10% of our visitor base" msgstr "A német a látogatóbázisunk 10%-át teszi ki"
Ignore everything, but note the beginning of the line is ignored by dennis so you can tell localizers to ignore the ignore thing:
#. localizers--ignore this comment. dennis-ignore: * msgid "German makes up 10% of our visitor base" msgstr "A német a látogatóbázisunk 10%-át teszi ki"
I also tweaked some of the Python 3 support code because it looked at me funny.
Also, universal wheel!

Dennis v0.3.11 released! Fixes and Python 3 support
What is it?
Dennis is a Python command line utility (and library) for working with localization. It includes:
- a linter for finding problems in strings in .po files like invalid Python variable syntax which leads to exceptions
- a statuser for seeing the high-level translation/error status of your .po files
- a translator for strings in your .po files to make development easier
v0.3.11 released!
v0.3.11 adds Python 3 support (there might be problems, but it's working for me) and adds error detection for the case where there's a } but no {.
Definitely worth updating!
8 out of 11 people who have heard of Dennis and continue to ignore its baby mews of wonderfulness also have a severe allergy to rainbows and kittens.

Django Eadred gives you some scaffolding for generating sample data to make it easier for new contributors to get up and running quickly, bootstrapping required database data, and generating large amounts of random data for testing graphs and things like that.
The v0.3 release is a small one, but good:
- Added support for Python 3.3 and later (Thank you Trey Hunner!)
- Fixed test infrastructure and added tox support.
- Fixed documentation.
There are no backwards-compatability problems with previous versions.
To update, do:
pip install -U eadred

pyvideo status: April 9th, 2014
What is pyvideo.org
pyvideo.org is an index of Python-related conference and user-group videos on the Internet. Saw a session you liked and want to share it? It's likely you can find it, watch it, and share it with pyvideo.org.
I fixed a few issues and finally (finally) pushed out major site updates. Some of them are implemented in the worst possible way (e.g. facet filters for the search page), but some of them are great (e.g. Amara subtitle support).
I'm still struggling with a lot of technical debt on the site and a lack of time to really focus on it. That's mostly what's been making fixing the issues, improving the site and adding conferences take so long.
Sheila and I will be at PyCon US and hanging around for sprint days. If anyone is interested in sprinting, we'll be there. Even if we don't get any coding done, figuring out how to solve some of the bigger problems and planning what should be done in the next year would be a huge accomplishment.
If you're at PyCon and see either of us, feel free to give us a piece of your mind in regards to how you use PyVideo and what could be better.
Site development using pagekite
I have this basic problem where I do a lot of web-site work and I need to show people what I've done so far so they can review it and help me make it better or make it suit their needs better. Screenshots aren't very helpful because the site is interactive. Further, the site needs to get tested on multiple devices/platforms/browsers. Also, I need to make sure that the site is only accessed via https.
What I've been doing up to now is failing miserably: I'd push work to our staging server for people to test out, but that sucks as an answer and affects my co-workers and makes a mess of our staging server. Plus iterating on things is difficult.
So, requirements:
- endpoint must be https-only
- must be easy to set up and take down
- must be easy to access so people can easily test things on my local machine
I looked around and this would be pretty easy to do if I didn't have the https-only requirement. That makes things difficult without a lot of work.
Then I found pagekite. They make it really easy.
Here's how you set it up:
Download and install the pagekite software: http://pagekite.net/downloads/
Run your website. In my case, I'm working on Django sites, so I launch like this:
$ ./manage.py runserver
That runs the Django project I'm working on on localhost:8000.
Run pagekite:
$ pagekite.py 8000 YOUR_NAME.pagekite.me:443
That creates a tunnel from your machine to the pagekite.me server. When someone accesses https://YOUR_NAME.pagekite.me/, the request goes through the tunnel to your pagekite backend and that performs the request over http to your local webserver (in my case, the Django project) bound to localhost:8000.
Access is https-only. If anyone tries to access http://YOUR_NAME.pagekite.me/, then they get a connection error.
The https-only requirement is satisfied by restricting the kite to only listening to port 443--the https port. That's pretty key.
This lets me run my Django project locally on http without dealing with self-signed certificates, but still require https access so data isn't floating around in clear text.
The one problem with this is that my local server thinks it's running http and so redirects that include the protocol go to http rather than https.
If you don't already have an account, I'm pretty sure step 3 will walk you through setting one up. Free accounts are limited in what they can do.
Also, they hang out on #pagekite on Freenode. I had a problem, asked a question and got a super helpful reply. The code is Open Source, so it's possible to look through it and debug it.
I'll be using this going forward.
Why write this?
This is a common use case for web developers. I figured I'd write this up because the https-only part is pretty key and it was the part that I had to ask for help with.

ElasticUtils v0.9 released!
What is it?
ElasticUtils is a Python library for building and executing Elasticsearch searches.
See the Quickstart for more details.
v0.9 released!
This is a big release, but there are some compromises in it that I'm not wildly excited about. Things like Elasticsearch 1.0 support didn't make the cut. I'm really sorry about that---we're working on it.
This release has a lot of changes in it. Roughly:
- dropped pyelasticsearch for elasticsearch-py (Thank you Honza!)
- fixed S.all() so it does what Django does which should let you use an S in the place of a QuerySet in some cases
- new FacetResult class (Thank you James!)
- S.facet() can take a size keyword
- cleaned up ESTestCase
- SearchResults now has facet data in the facets property
- etc.
For the complete list of what's new, What's new in Version 0.9.
Many thanks to everyone who helped out: Alexey Kotlyarov, David Lundgren, Honza Král, James Reynolds, Jannis Leidel, Juan Ignacio Catalano, Kevin Stone, Mathieu Pillard, Mihnea Dobrescu-Balaur, nearlyfreeapps, Ricky Cook, Rob Hudson, William Tisäter and Will Kahn-Greene.
We're going to be sprinting on ElasticUtils 0.10 at PyCon US in Montreal mid April. If you're interested, come find me!
If you have any questions, let us know! We hang out on #elasticutils on irc.mozilla.org.

pyvideo status: February 15th, 2014
What is pyvideo.org
pyvideo.org is an index of Python-related conference and user-group videos on the Internet. Saw a session you liked and want to share it? It's likely you can find it, watch it, and share it with pyvideo.org.
Over the last year, a number of things have led to a tangled mess of tasks that need to be done that were blocked on other tasks that were complicated by the fact that I had half-done a bunch of things. I've been chipping away at various aspects of things, but most of them were blocked on me finishing infrastructure changes I started in November when we moved everything to Rackspace.
I finally got my local pyvideo environment working and a staging environment working. I finally sorted out my postgres issues, so I've got backups and restores working (yes--I test restores). I finally fixed all the problems with my deploy script so I can deploy when I want to and can do it reliably.
Now that I've got all that working, I pushed changes to the footer recognizing that Sheila and I are co-adminning (and have been for some time) and that Rackspace is graciously hosting pyvideo.
In the queue of things to do:
- finish up some changes to richard and then update pyvideo to the latest richard
- re-encode all the .flv files I have from blip.tv into something more HTML5-palatable (I could use help with this--my encoding-fu sucks)
- fix other blip.tv metadata fallout--for example most of the PyGotham videos have terrible metadata (my fault)
- continue working on process and tools to make pyvideo easier to contribute to
That about covers it for this status report.
Questions, comments, thoughts, etc--send me email or twart me at @PyvideoOrg or or @willcage.

Me: 2013 retrospective
I had a pretty intense 2013, but overall I think it was a good year. I say that with full knowledge that I had 2013 goals, but I have no idea where I wrote them down. Oh, well.
First off, I started or helped start a lot of new projects this year:
- dennis: lint .po files for strings that will set production on fire and translates .po files to aid development (awesome)
- ernest: sprint coordination system (awesome)
- douglas: my complete overhaul of Pyblosxom (in development)
- tedmund: console based slide presentation system
- james: cli for deployment with chief
- eugene: comms system for Artemis simulation
- victor: system for sussing out version information for dependencies (failed project)
- fredrik: Flask template (obsolete)
- harold: rough feedback/support system (prototype)
- captain shove: the mighty new deployment system we'll switch to in 2014
- hy: dialect of Lisp that runs in Python vm
Fredrik is obsolete. Victor was a failed project. Captain Shove and Hy are doing well and other than helping to start them off, I haven't touched either in some time. I work on Dennis, Douglas and Ernest regularly. I'm thinking about Harold, but probably won't do anything with it for a while.
I also spent a ton of time working on existing projects:
- django-badger
- django-browserid
- elasticutils and pyelasticsearch
- tower
- jingo-minify
- django-ratelimit
- playdoh, playdoh-lib and funfactory
- richard which powers pyvideo.org
- vidscraper
I'm probably missing a bunch there. It's hard to keep track of what one did on other peoples' projects.
I got a lot accomplished at work this year:
- I joined the sec-champs group and now help manage and coordinate security releases for Django and other software we use on our websites. (Security)
- I performed an audit on playdoh-lib and helped coordinate a bunch of updates including to Django 1.5. (Security)
- I helped work on Captain Shove which is a new deployment system to replace Chief. (IT)
- I worked on l10n issues, created dennis and rewrote the deployment scripts for Input and SUMO to eliminate production problems related to errors in translated strings. (L10N)
- I worked on community building as a mentor for SUMO and Input projects (more Input than SUMO) helping guide new contributors towards their first contributions. I should be doing a lot more on this front. One thing I did with Miro, Pyblosxom and other projects I've worked on is to keep track of people who have contributed to help keep them around. That sounds goofy, but it helps build lasting communities. (Community building)
- I helped fix some quality problems with the Kitsune and Fjord test suites and I'm working with Bob from QA on updating the Input tests. (QA)
- Implemented a more flexible filter/query system in Elasticutils and maintained it for the year. (Maintainer)
- Did a ton of work on SUMO and Input.
Challenges I worked on this year:
I keep getting dinged in performace reviews for being acerbic (that's probably the nicest word for it). I recognize that it sucks to work with acerbic people and regardless of how busy or stressed out they are.
I finally started working on it in earnest probably around August. I hope I'm more pleasant to work with. We'll see what people think.
Everyone above me in the Mozilla org chart left.
At the beginning of 2013, it was something like me -> James -> Mike -> Todd -> Gary.
Now it's me -> Ricky -> Wil -> Rick -> Harvey -> Jay.
I'm still working on SUMO and Input, but the Webdev group went away and the SUMO engineering team got shifted between groups. I'm feeling ok about it, but wonder if all that shifting makes it difficult for me to be noticed.
I'm working on too many things and thus many things are starving for attention. That's a simple sentence for a very complex situation which involves all sorts of thought-provoking questions like, "why?" and "why is it important for all things to be worked on?"
I stopped maintaining Pyblosxom. I stepped down from my work on MediaGoblin. I'm being more careful about what I commit to and try to commit to things that I feel that I'm the best fit for. I'm working on reducing context-switch time so I'll work on certain projects for longer periods of time, then put them down for longer periods of time. I'm trying to ask for help more often and spread the workload around and I'm trying to make helping me easier.
I need to spend more time on pyvideo.
This is an important project. It just keeps getting back-burnered and when I have time to work on it, crazy ass things come up which need to get fixed immediately.
For example, blip.tv ditched a bunch of Python conference accounts. We scrambled to download those videos and now we're hosting them. That took a ton of time.
Regardless, I started several code overhauls that I need to finish. That's blocking everything else and that sucks. I really need to get that done.
I have a new roommate and having two roommates is crazy. I don't even know what to do to alleviate this short of just get through the day one day at a time.
I need to take better care of myself.
This is a hard one. It's easy to push off me-focused things when there's so many things that need doing. I haven't a good answer here, yet, but maybe being more aware of it is helpful.
I got shingles. That sucked.
In 2014, I want to:
- Continue to get better at front-end development.
- Spend time working on pyvideo, richard, dennis and ernest and get them to better places.
- Figure out what to do with Elasticutils: Overhaul it to make it suck less? Pass it off to someone else to maintain? Figure out a list of 5 things to fix now and let it continue to be mediocre?
- Overhaul my blog. Douglas is coming along nicely. After I finish getting that working, I'll re-theme it. This is lower priority than the other things here, but it'd be nice to finally do this year.
- Work on empowering and enabling other people to do things rather than blocking them. This one is hard and tricky especially where my free time is unpredictable on account of roommates and obligations I have no control over.
It's been a busy year and there are things I should be doing better, but generally speaking, I think I did pretty ok.

Well done, Sammy. Great food, great staff and great prices! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Hilton Taba.
Casa Taba as we were told was a sea food restaurant . The restaurant is next to Hilton Taba hotel by the beach over look the red sea, but at night and only if you chose to sit outside you can see the beach. As we were told and since it was one day before Easter Sunday we had to...
Portions here were huge (i mean enormous) the restaurant tries to be Italian i think but its a little dated and far too fussy for a casual dining experience, for example there are some 1980's Art Deco plates on the table that seem to only be there to be removed, they served no purpose and we never saw them again....so...
This restaraunts was not only very classy it also made you feel at home. I had the best steak I have ever eaten anywhere in the world I have visited. First class. X
The selection each day had a theme and catered for all tastes. It was always well prepared and delicious. There were many kinds of salads, cakes, breads, so many things it would take pages to describe. A culinary experience to be savoured.
super super super super , every thing super in this place
great. chez pacal was my favourite but the food here was excellent too
Nothing to dislike. Eating on the terrace with outstanding service and wonderful food with the sound of the gently lapping sea was magical. The seafood is excellent and the fillet of beef (steak) was really the best ever.
We got back to Jordan this morning after a short trip Taba. I must say the highlight of our trip was having dinner at Casa Taba last night. The food was exceptionally great, and the service... Wonderful! The restaurant manager (too bad I didn't get his name) is a professional by all means, I don't even know how to begin...
Me and my wife felt so safe that we left the 3 children at the room and went to dine high classs Italian cuisine.We had very good fish from "catch of the day' pasta with clams and local beer.we had wonderfull quiet time and above all tasty.ADATO AVI.

He's painfully thin, he hasn't properly trained, he's battled pain medication … can he make it through to the end?
Secreted in an airport hangar somewhere in the Los Angeles area, Michael Jackson is hard at work rehearsing for his 50-date concert series, "This Is It," TheWrap has confirmed.
"He is fine and in great shape and is healthy and rehearsing in Los Angeles," said friend and business associate Gary Pudney, executive producer of the World Music Awards, where Jackson made one of his rare public appearances in 2006.
That may come as a surprise to those who saw recent photos of Jackson shopping in Bel-Air, where the King of Pop's painfully thin frame swam inside a black silk morning coat.
Jackson, his chin and cheekbones jutting out, looked nothing like a pop star about to embark on a strenuous 50-date concert tour.
As the 50-year-old former star preps for the grueling series, many wonder if the show will indeed go on, despite millions of dollars spent in sales of 750,000 tickets.
Jackson must now put his show together in less than two months — and it's been 12 years since his last tour. And at his last public appearance, three years ago at the World Music Awards, he barely whispered a few lines of "We Are the World."
There is reason to wonder whether the drama-bound performer will be able to maintain the grueling schedule required by the addition of 40 new dates to what was originally a 10-date concert series.
"Healthwise, he has deteriorated," Stacy Brown, the author of "Michael Jackson; The Man Behind the Mask told TheWrap. "Last July, he was photographed being pushed around in a wheelchair in Las Vegas. What I think you'll see is that it will be postponed for some excuse, that 'he'll be back next week,' and next week will never come."
His 50 scheduled dates at the 02 dwarf even Prince's 21-day series at that arena in 2007, and Prince was 49 at the time.
Promoters and managers believe anyone embarking on a series like Jackson's should spend six months preparing.
"You have to exercise every single day," said a veteran promoter and producer who asked for anonymity. "When Madonna goes out, she does six months of heavy-duty training."
Jackson's stage theatrics are extremely demanding. Frighteningly thin at the child-molestation trial in 2005, he now weighs about 135, according to an individual close to the family. Some stars like Mick Jagger can lose more than six pounds a gig, and Jackson's show is heavily dance-based.
Then there is the issue of his battles with prescription medication to lessen Jackson's chronic back and leg pain. "He gets sleepy, tired," the individual close to the family said.
World Music Awards' Pudney, however, insists, fans should not worry about Jackson pulling a no-show or giving a sub-par performance. "He's in very good health," Pudney said. "He's taken very good care of himself, and anyone saying he isn't rehearsing is wrong. This is it. There are a lot of people out there who wish him ill."
Jackson, however, does have a history of concert problems. Marcel Avram, a German concert promoter, won a multi-million-dollar judgment against the singer at a 2005 civil trial for damages arising out of Jackson's nonperformance.
Such conduct and images of the emaciated star have raised eyebrows in the insurance industry.
AEG Live, the promoter behind Jackson's 02 concerts, has been struggling to arrange a full cancellation policy with insurers, the London Telegraph has reported, and Britain's Guardian reported that the promoters secured insurance for just the first 10 days of the tour, as opposed to the whole 50.
If further insurance is refused, the only option is self-insurance, which could cost an estimated $350,000 to $500,000 a performance, and Jackson might have to agree to let it be taken out of his cut from the tour.
"The promoter needs business interruption insurance because historically these tours have not go on as planned," said a veteran promoter who asked not to be identified. "The hall may not let you play without insurance. It doesn't want to be holding the bag."
But Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar.com, which tracks the concert business told TheWrap that the promoters of MJ02, AEG Live, are successful enough to handle the risk of insuring the concerts series for any interruptions themselves.
"You have to have basic liability insurance," Bongiovanni said, "but having nonperformance is not an absolute."
Scheduled to begin July 8, the first concert, at London's 02 Arena, the concert is rumored to have fantastic elements including a jungle with elephants, monkeys and parrots, a high-wire act with Jackson performing like an airborne Peter Pan — and even a duet with his 12-year-old son Prince.
The comeback has already drawn an enormous amount of international attention because of the staggering number of tickets already sold — 750,000 in a matter of days. If he finishes the tour, Britain's Sky News estimates the one-time self-proclaimed King of Pop could moonwalk away with about $225 million — not counting merchandising.
The MJ02 concerts are another example of the disarray within the Jackson camp. A giant memorabilia sale, potentially worth millions of dollars, was recently cancelled because herbalist Dr. Tohme R. Tohme, who has as the singer's spokesman and manager, made a deal with Julien's Auction House, but MJJ did not have ownership rights to the items and Jackson stopped the bidding.
Joel Diamond, a former CBS music executive who managed David Hasselhoff's German tours and Engelbert Humperdinck, believes Jackson wants to succeed in this comeback.
"This series is really his way of showing why he is the greatest entertainer in our times," Diamond said. "There is only one Elvis, only one Pavarotti and there is only one Michael Jackson. Love him or hate him, he is he best live performer in my lifetime."

To compare observer performance in the detection of abnormalities on 1,760 x 2,140 matrix (2K) and 3,520 x 4,280 matrix (4K) digital storage phosphor chest radiographs.One hundred sixty patients who underwent dedicated computed tomography (CT) of the thorax were prospectively recruited into the study. Posteroanterior and lateral computed radiographs of the chest were acquired in each patient and printed in 2K and 4K formats. Six radiologists independently analyzed the hard-copy images and scored the presence of parenchymal (opacities =2 cm, opacities >2 cm, and subtle interstitial), mediastinal, and pleural abnormalities on a five-point confidence scale. With CT as the reference standard, observer performance tests were carried out by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.Analysis of averaged observer performance showed 2K and 4K images were equally effective in detection of all three groups of abnormalities. In the detection of the three subtypes of parenchymal abnormalities, there were no significant differences in averaged performance between the 2K and 4K formats (area below ROC curve [A(z)] values: opacities =2 cm, 0.62 +/- 0.056 [standard error] and 0.59 +/- 0.045; opacities >2 cm, 0.86 +/-.025 and 0.85 +/- 0.030; subtle interstitial abnormalities, 0.73 +/- 0.041 and 0.72 +/- 0.041). Averaged performance in detection of mediastinal and pleural abnormalities was equivalent (A(z) values: mediastinal, 0.70 +/- 0.046 and 0.73 +/- 0.033; pleural, 0.85 +/- 0.032 and 0.86 +/- 0.033).Observer performance in detection of parenchymal, mediastinal, and pleural abnormalities was not significantly different on 2K and 4K storage phosphor chest radiographs.

- My Favorite!jillbo0VIPDined on 11/23/2014We had brunch on Sunday and as always, fantastic! The seafood crepes are to die for and the small salad served with it is dressed with a beautiful French vinaigrette. My husband had the eggs benedict and for the first time in a long time dining elsewhere, a delicious hollandaise. This will remain my favorite for breakfast, lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- QuietriotDined on 11/21/2014The noise level was a little high, and we had to wait a long while for the food. However, it could not be faulted for quality. The waitstaff is always friendly and accommodating. The menu in the evening was superb, and the choice of specials was outstanding too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local gem!JohnDined on 11/14/2014La Belle Époque is our favorite spot to for dinner in the Media area. The menu is not very big which is great because everything coming out of the kitchen is a masterpiece. The staff are always very attentive and the atmosphere is wonderful. The wine list is great and the flights are reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Little Bit of France in MediabettygDined on 11/12/2014I took my sister for lunch at La Belle Epoque to celebrate her 80th birthday. We both loved the crepes, the service, and the ambience. We will definitely return for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unique menuOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/8/2014authentic french food with a chef who really creates perfect dishes and of course crepes!Special Features:
- Not a good experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 11/8/2014We sat at a table at the back and my view was of a storage area with dishes stacked and cleaning products. We ordered escorgo which had very little taste. Next we had the french onion soup which also had very little taste and was luke warm. Not impressed with food or ambiance.
- Croque Monsieur is authenticOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/8/2014Other places in town call a grilled cheese panini by that name. While that are good sandwiches they are not deserving of the name. La Belle, however, gets it right. The small dining room with somewhat cramped quarters is also reminiscent of dining in Paris. Noise level was very low. But I imagine it depends on the crowd since it's such a small room. Food was amazing. The wine was very good. It's a BYO, with a $15 corking fee. Service was very friendly, and not in a rush to turn over our table. Overall excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014The food was good. I found the meal heavy but my college aged kids liked it. The main problem was the long wait - our starters were served after about 15 minutes but we had to wait over an hour more for the main course. Despite the wait, the server did not explain the delay, did not replenish the bread basket or bring anything else. The meal also seemed overly expensive for what we had.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food however overpricedsjs1980Dined on 10/25/2014The food was excellent. The service was good. The bill was large. My wife and I felt that the prices were a bit overpriced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Family lunchCoralieDined on 10/19/2014We wanted to try something new, so we ended up at La Belle Epoque. As a french native I was very happy and curious to eat there. The food was good, the place ok and quite energetic. We had a nice lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- We still enjoy the ResuarantMediajaneDined on 10/4/2014The Menu still has some of the old standards which we like. The specials are often not very appealing to myself or my wife. We do not especially like game foods. La Belle is still on our favorites of Media list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brittany comes to MediaBisquetteDined on 9/17/2014A charming little café that a a charming little café that specializes in the crêpes of la Bretagne but also has quiche, omelets, eggs benedict and salads. Authentically French!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/24/2014We had to sit inside even though I made a reservation for outside, the wine was terrible and the food was not good (outside of the mussels). I could get past all of that if the service wasn't appalling. We were blatantly ignored on a slow night and treated as though we were bothering him. The exception was the host/busboy who was attentive (and we ended up tipping in place of our server). Have been before and the ambiance is not bad if you sit outside and the food is not bad if you have brunch. Service is consistently poor. I will not be back.
- 5 Bells for La BelleeatingoutDined on 8/23/2014La Belle Epoque Wine Bistro was a great spot for a quiet lunch after we visited the Tyler Arboretum. The crepes were delicious and the service was very good. It was quiet and friendly - everything we wanted.Special Features:
- Good food unpleasant hostessjas4Dined on 8/15/2014Very good food and waiters, hostess just seemed to be bothered by us. Never once smile the whole time we were there.I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChangingMediajaneDined on 8/9/2014We've been eating here since the restaurant opened. The food and wine list are always good. The prices seem to get higher each time we eat there. The new wait staff is not friendly. It's lost its "neighborhood gem" status with us. We dropped nearly $100. I had a salad. My husband had salmon. We each had a glass of wine, coffee and shared a dessert. The waiter/bartender seemed mad at the world. The hostess insisted our Open Table reservation was for 4 instead of 2. They mentioned a " dining points" offer on the bill. My husband asked her about it on our way out. She said he should have asked the waiter when we paid the bill and walked away.Special Features:
- The following 70 reviews are from the La Belle Epoque Wine Bistro reviews archive.
- Always greatKitkatDined on 7/11/2014Whenever we have out of town company this is the place they want to go. Food does not disappoint and the wine is always wonderful. Of course Wes could not be any nicer. We will be back.Special Features:
- Very DisappointedDanielDanceDined on 7/1/2014On a friend's recommendation, I took my date here expecting a nice romantic dinner in a French wine bistro themed restaurant. Boy was I disappointed. I generally eat out at least 2 times per week and try to hit all the local restaurant spots and this place definitely ranks as one of the worst. Service in general was lacking at best. The server reminded me of someone you would get at a local burger joint and had little knowledge of the menu or wine list. Dirty dishes not removed. Disgusting interior. No tablecloths and dirty and sticky tables. Very bad fly problem. Flies landing on our food. Had to wait forever for new drinks. Food was really good including presentation, but everything else gave it an F rating!
- Becoming a RegularMediaFoodieDined on 6/29/2014Went to Sunday brunch and enjoyed it so much that we went back the following Sunday. Cold cucumber soup, steak & eggs--so good. Had dinner there several times, and food was also wonderful. Go for the mussels & get extra bread for dipping. They sell out quickly. Hanger steak & filet perfectly cooked. A seafood special I had was delicious also. Service is friendly and they know the menu. A great special occasion and walk in place, if you can get a table. Safer to call ahead.Special Features:

- BuntzVIPDined on 5/6/2014Our second visit was as good as our first. Wonderful mussels to start, great lamb chops & sea bass, and tasty Nutella crepe for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Comically BadTheTasterDined on 5/3/2014I cannot remember the last time I was so completely and utterly disappointed by a meal-- and the service. The cheese tray had bland cheeses ,and the pairings seemed senseless. There were even chocolate chips on the cheese tray, very odd. My caprese salad was served with tomatoes that looked reminiscence of Subway's quality. And, when our main meal was finally served, my dining partner found his dish to be inedible and bland. Our waitress didn't return for 20 minutes while we sat there with 1 fork and a god-awful meal. Meanwhile, there were SIX other servers in the empty dining room, not one of whom asked to help. Steer clear of this 'fine-eatery.'
- sunday lunchfoodiegirlDined on 4/27/2014Had reservations for lunch on a sunday. Found service good and prompt. Coffes were quick and tssty. The food however was dissapointing. Crepes were obviously over cooked, alittle drk brown all over. Others ordered omletes, they were ok. One order was with duck.. Was served in high pile of shredded duck atop omlet, while the portion was generous the taste was not great. I stumbled upon a disagreement between employee and boss about pay while visiting the ladies room. Was hard not to overhear when the discussion was right outside the restroom door. Was unfortunate and not professional. Next time I will avoid daytime and stick to nite dinners that I have found delicious and fun. Maybe evening chefs are better?Special Features:
- Best Brunch in MediaSuzieJeanneDined on 4/27/2014This is my go to spot for brunch in my hometown. It is an al a carte menu which i prefer for brunch. My friends love meeting me here. Try the omlettes or the french toast!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Uniformly first-ratemashermacDined on 4/19/2014This was our second time at this very good restaurant and it is now on our A list. The restaurant is small and a "little" tight so not a romantic hide-away, but not crowded or noisy. The decor is French kitchy with lots of Moulin Rouge posters and such. Restrooms are down a flight of steep stairs. The star is the food. Expertly prepared and presented, with very satisfying portion sizes. Share the mussels as an appetizer - you won't be sorry. Other apps were also first-class. Entrees: The bass and the chicken - fabulous- the crepes - nicely done - The boeuf bourguignon - a little bland. The wine list is good (not great) a little pedestrian/limited for a wine bistro. Overall: a very satisfying experience.Special Features:
- Decent food but slow serviceRoseVIPDined on 4/18/2014On arrival we did not get the table we requested but the alternative was fine if less scenic. Appetizers came promptly and we ordered a nice wine. However our entrees took forever. We finally asked and they said it was a computer glitch! Another friend also dining there had been given another excuse. Neither steak was special but the fish was excellent. They did give us an extra glass of wine on the house. We live nearby and have sensed that they are overwhelmed and probably understaffed. Too bad it is a nice location and setting but we won't go back soon.
- wonderfully improved serviceOpieDined on 4/5/2014Our waiter was wonderful--my last review reported a surly waitress, but this waiter was fabulous. The food, as always, was delicious--from crispy duck with yummy potatoes to a fabulous crepe with a refreshing salad and creme brulee that was mouth watering. This was a lovely evening for celebrating my friend's birthday.Special Features:
- Great Every TimeJBGrizzVIPDined on 4/5/2014I've been here multiple times: the food and service are always fantastic. I recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner any time you are in or near Media.Special Features:
- French gem in MediaBuntzVIPDined on 4/4/2014We don't dine in Media often, but that is about to change. Our meal at La Belle Epoque was very good, starting with some of the best mussels that I have ever eaten. I can see why they have won awards. I didn't waste a drop of the delicious broth, which was better than most soups. Our entrees, salmon in parchment and duck in a lovely raspberry sauce, were a treat to the palate. We finished with a light mixed berry crepe which left us thinking that we might try some of the many entree crepes on the menu. French restaurants are scarce in the 'burbs, so we were thrilled to find this gem. Parking was a bit of a challenge on a Friday night, but there is a lot nearby if you can't find a street spot. We will definitely be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Such a nice surprise!Jillbo0Dined on 3/29/2014We just tried this for the first time and loved it! I felt like I was back in Paris and the food was delicious. I love the fact that everything came out steaming hot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, So-So ServiceDelcoMomDined on 3/29/2014Good for a date night, although intimate tables are close to the door and chilly, despite curtain covering entrance. Food was good, although cheese plate did not need chocolate chips (as an appetizer?). Our server was not on the ball . . . after serving our dinner, took 5 minutes to bring missing fork, veggie side also came 5 minutes after main dish. Menu should state that main dishes include vegetable (so that we did not have to order separate sides). Server also did not seem well-versed re: recommending wine/food pairings (which is odd, given the restaurant is a wine bar). A nice dinner, but could have been better if the service kicked it up a notch.Special Features:

A giant leap for the Android ecosystem
June 15, 2012 // By Amit Rohatgi
On May 1, Google released an update to its Native Development Kit (NDK) that allows for the creation of native apps that run on MIPS-Based devices.
This is a big deal! Google took notice of the millions of MIPS-Based Android devices and took action to include support for the MIPS ABI. While developers in the past have been able to obtain a MIPS NDK from the MIPS developer site, they can now get it from the main Android developer site - where the vast majority of developers obtain the NDK. With this move, we expect many new developers will begin pushing out MIPS compatible apps in very short time.

I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but ultimately the only comparison I can see is that we both have moderately solid defenses with anemic offenses. Oh, and both teams lost to Utah.
QB situations were somewhat different. DG has stayed throughout all this nonsense. Mallett left.
You mention Year 1 vs Year 4... but think about it- we were in the process of overhauling the offense. By now, this offense should have had an identity but instead, we've been inconsistent on offense for 4 years now. I don't see how the position coaches.
This team is better than the 2008 team, but we shouldn't have to be comparing them.

Book Description:
Palliative care is rapidly evolving as a multidimensional therapeutic model devoted to improving the quality of life of all patientswith life-threatening illness. Symptom control, management of psychosocial and spiritual concerns, decision making consistent with values and goals, and care of the imminently dying that is appropriate and sensitive to the unique needs of the individual and the family--these are among the critical issues addressed through pallaitive care. As this discipline has evolved, the need for research in all these areas has become widely acknowledged. Issues in Palliative Care Research describes both the progress that already has been made in the investigation of these issues and the methodologic elements that must be addressed in future studies. The perspective is broad and the overriding goal is to inform about the state of the art in these rapidly evolving areas of research.
