Recently, I am playing with alarm I/O and requires something that is common but unfamiliar to me - Electrical circuit wiring.
Equipment Required
1. Breadboard - A breadboard (protoboard) is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. See http://tymkrs.tumblr.com/post/6386624174/how-to-use-a-breadboard on how to use a breadboard
2. 3V LED light - Need to display alarm output (see setup picture below)
3. Some electrical wires
4. Open Switch.(see setup picture below)
5. Resistor - We are using 5V input for a 3V LED light. We need a resistor to control the current flow to prevent providing too much current for the LED light (May result in blowing the LED light).
The following picture provided a setup for 2 circuits - Alarm input circuit and alarm output circuit.
Alarm Input Circuit
Alarm input are usually used to provide a trigger signal to the attached system. In the above setup, I am connecting a 5V circuit for the alarm input and I used a open switch as a trigger device. If I press the switch button, it will complete the 5V circuit and the alarm system will capture a change in voltage and respond accordingly.
Alarm Output Circuit
Alarm output are usually used to connect external device to provide visual/audio alert. In the above setup, I am using a 3V LED light as the visual output alert with an NO (normally open) circuit.
Normally, there are 3 type alarm output port provided by an alarm system. The port interfaces are C, NO, NC
C - This is a Common port for alarm circuit. Either NO or NC will use Common port to complete the alarm circuit
NO - Normally Open port for alarm circuit. Normally Open means the circuit is opened and will be closed if and only if the alarm system detect an alarm event. For example, if I connect a LED light to NO circuit, the LED light will only light up if there is an alarm event.
NC - Normally Close port for alarm circuit. Normally Close means the circuit is closed and will be opened if and only if the alarm system detects an alarm event. For example, if I connect a LED light to NC circuit, the LED light will be lighted up and it will only be turned off if there is an alarm event.
Now, let's talk a bit about voltage and resistor. If you look at the breadboard, the alarm output circuit is using a 5V input for lighting up a 3V LED light. This implies that the alarm system is providing more voltage (5V) to the LED light (3V) than the LED light required. The extra 2V will eventually blow the LED light. To prevent that, we need a resistor to reduce the voltage flow across the LED light.
Below is a common setup for a circuit. So for us
Supply Voltage: 5V
Current: 20 milliampere (3V LED usually used 20 milliamp current)
Forward voltage: 3V (Voltage needed to light up the LED light)
Resistance: To be calculate
So, to calculate resistance, we need to use Ohm Law
I = Expected Current through the conductor in ampere
V = Potential difference measure across the conductor in volt
R = Resistance in conductor in ohm
Therefore, to calculate resistance, use R = V / I
For us,
V = difference of supply voltage - forward voltage of LED = 5V - 3V = 2V
I = expected current of LED = 20 milliamp = 0.02 amp
Therefore R = 2V / 0.02 amp = 100Ohm
Thus, we need a resistor of 100Ohm to complete the circuit (shown in the picture)
You can use http://www.hebeiltd.com.cn/?p=zz.led.resistor.calculator to calculate your required resistor value
In addition, resistor has color code. You can use http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/calc/resistor-code-calculator.php to compute your resistor color code before going to electrical shop to purchase your resistor. For example, 100 Ohm resistor has a color code of brown black brown gold
The above had described the completed circuit setup for alarm input and output. Please take note that you have to setup your alarm system to relay alarm input to alarm output. Different alarm system has different setting.
For me, after I had linked up the alarm system relay setting and pressed the open switch at alarm input, the LED light will light up as external alarm.

Champix may help you quit smoking, but there are possible side effects.
The Centers for Disease Control estimated that there were 46 million U.S. smokers in 2009. One in five deaths in the U.S. is due to a smoking related illness. This is one reason that many smokers want to quit the habit. Champix is a drug that is said to aid a person in the quest to give up cigarettes. However, there are some serious side effects that can occur from taking this drug.
Dizziness and Sleepiness
A doctor prescribing Champix to a patient may warn that person not to drive or operate heavy machinery while taking the drug. This is due to the fact that some people experience dizziness and sleepiness when taking Champix.
Contains Varenicline Tartrate
Some people are allergic to varenicline tartrate, the active ingredient in Champix. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or other body parts, itchy skin, and a rash or hives.
Changes in Mood or Behavior
A doctor must be informed of a patient's mental health history as Champix has been reported to cause mood swings. Some people taking Champix have experienced depression, anxiety, and aggression. Additionally, other users reported hallucinations and suicidal thoughts. If you notice any changes in mood or behavior, you must stop notify your doctor and stop taking the medication immediately.
Other Medications
Champix should not be used with other smoking-cessation products such as a nicotine patch or lozenges. Also, a person should not use other medication that is geared toward helping someone quit smoking such as WellButrin or Zyban. Using these products at the same time as Champix reduces the effectiveness of the drug.
Blood Conditions
People who use insulin or blood-thinning medications should be especially cautious when taking Champix. A doctor needs to be informed of any prior medical issues and medication used for these issues as the effectiveness of those medications may be jeopardized by the use of Champix.

As I blogged about earlier in the week, the Anglican Church in America, part of the Traditional Anglican Communion decided on March 3 to request to be received in the Catholic Church via the "the provisions of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus in the United States of America".
This is awesome news! Please pray for these returning brethren as this transition may be tough, and is certainly heartwrenching for so many of our Anglican kin, who have been abandoned by their own leadership. Pray for healing, for understanding, for grace and wisdom and patience.
And continue to pray for our holy father in Rome, our awesome Pope Benedict whose wisdom and foresight and strength have made these transitions even conceivable.
God is good.

Holy shit, it's been a while!
On Friday the 5th, we had a... well... just... see for yourself. I woke up to gunshots that morning. (Update: it was, indeed, a murder-suicide.)
That was the same day Ian came up for the weekend -- which was very much fun, and very much tiring. In a good way.
I spent Tuesday in bed -- no, no, get your mind out of the gutter, I was sleeping!
Wednesday, I went with Paul and saw Avatar. Fucking AWESOME movie, and quite frankly, I enjoyed seeing a movie that pushed the idea of all life being interconnected, and showed just how destructive Human ways are. Seriously, we need to be more like the Na'vi, and learn to live WITH the planet, and not live OFF it. (But that's a rant for later. ^_^)
Thursday night I went to see Cheech & Chong "Get It Legal" -- hilarious! But there must have been something in the air, because all I remember is Chong going on a riff about cats, stoner cats, and how you can tell they're fucked up. (Hint: If you throw the cat at the curtains, and it doesn't stick, it's stoned.)
On a side C&C note, I swear at least one of them was sparking up backstage -- I could SMELL it.
Friday, I stayed home.
Saturday, yeah... you guessed it. I stayed home. Liz dropped by, and we went and visited my parents and OMG, Gracie just LOVES Liz's nails! (Not that I'm surprised.) Chatted into the small hours with Ian.
Sunday. Valentine's day. Dammit, now that I have a mate, why does he have to be in Seattle?! I can think of several things I'd like to be doing right now, but they're all couple-y things. *sigh* I'm going to go eat ice cream and mope.
Oh, and in honor of the holiday:

Sounds of silence
Radio stations say JCDC slow off the mark
THOUGH this year's Festival Song Competition winner, Real Born Jamaican by Abbygaye Dallas, was selected on July 7 before one of the largest grand final crowds in years, not much is known about the song.
In fact, the public is unfamiliar with the 10 entries because they were not promoted as previous years.
Interestingly, third placed Tashina McKenzie, won two other prizes for her song Jamaica Beat Dem Bad. One of them was for Facebook Voters' Choice.
Information on the songs seemed to escape the media. According to Jennifer Lyons, programmes manager at the RJR Communication Group, "We at the RJR record library did not get the Festival songs. Individuals (announcers) said they have personal copies, but the record library didn't get. Because normally, when we get them we would listen to them and we would rotate them for the week and each programme would play some. But we never received the Festival Songs this year."
She said that even though the library eventually received copies of the songs, they did not get them from the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC), the government agency which organises the Festival Song Competition.
"We didn't even know that there was a Festival Song Competition until maybe a week or two ago we heard that there was one," Lyons said.
During last week's Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange, Fae Ellington, acting chairman of the JCDC, dismissed suggestions that the organisation failed to adequately promote the songs.
"When there were only two radio stations, there was a more structured way to air the Festival songs. Somehow, they (radio stations) lost interest and understanding," Ellington said.
She pointed out that music videos by the finalists were regularly shown on television leading up to the grand final. And, as in previous years, the shows were taken across the island.
Also at the Monday Exchange, acting executive director of the JCDC Delroy Gordon, said the agency gave away 500 complimentary Festival Song CDs to radio stations and taximen to play in their cars as part of its promotional process.
He admitted however, that the date of the final show was brought forward so that the winning song would have a longer lifespan. Previousy, the grand final was a week
or two before Independence celebrations in early August.
Responding to claims that radio stations did not get the songs in time, Gordon told the Sunday Observer, "That is something I will have to investigate with my marketing department".
Denise 'Isis' Miller, announcer at Roots FM, said even though she got the Festival Song CD just last week, she will not take the JCDC to task.
"I think what has happened this year, there have been a lot of distractions with the Jamaica 50 songs," she said. "Also, over the years, we have not heard much of the Festival songs on radio."
Miller says since she received the CDs, she plays at least two songs each day on her Rootsology show.

My name is Ken Lamug, I am an artist and I love to tell stories with a twist.
In 2012, I released my award-winning children's picture book, A Box Story. In mid-2013 I was part of an artist collaborative Kickstarter-funded, all-ages adventure comic, Tales from Lost Vegas. I'm also a contributing artist for Underneath the Juniper Tree, a macabre literature and art magazine for children. And I'm also part of HitRecord's Tiny Book of Tiny Stories 3.
I'm excited to bring to Kickstarter The Tall Tales Of Talbot Toluca - Quest For The Ore Crystals. This is an adventure comic book, which encourages readers to participate, featuring interactive hidden-object games and puzzles. If you enjoy the colorful treasure hunt adventures of Where's Waldo and mind-melding puzzles of Professor Layton, or Puzzle Agent then you will surely enjoy this book.
Awhile back, Talbot and his friends discovered a secret military lab hidden right under the school. This caused a series of troubling events and awoke all the experiments that lay dormant for many years. Now, with the help of science teacher Professor Boz, Talbot and his friends must protect the lab from those who would use its hidden secrets for their own plans of world domination.
In this latest adventure, Dr. Kadoom zaps Professor Boz, teleporting his atoms throughout time and space.With the help of Joe-Bot, Talbot and Damien must travel to new worlds, gather the atoms while collecting enough ore crystals to power the machine that will bring back the Professor.
Learn more about the characters? Visit the The Tall Tales of Talbot Toluca web site.
Comic book dimensions with spine: 6.75" x 10.25"
High-quality, soft-bound, thick cardstock cover with book spine.
Est. 48-52 pages plus cover.
7 hidden-object full spreads, 6 puzzles which include logic puzzles, mazes, etc…
Remaining pages are dedicated to the meat of the story (i.e., story panels). Bonus pages are allocated for credits, title page,and bonus hidden-object games
- FREE SHIPPING within USA unless specified.
The images below are screen captures from the actual puzzle page spreads.
Everyone getting a book, will also receive an 8.5x11 print of the Professor Layton Cos-play by Talbot and Damien.
I've tried to keep the rewards tier simple and sweet. Let's get right to it.
- All art prints are signed
- Free shipping within USA unless specified
- Postcard designs will be based off of the hidden-object scenes from the book. I will select a random postcard with your pledge. (This may change depending on available time to create new art).
- Any custom art request or custom characters have to be approved first.
WEB CREDITS vs BOOK CREDITS
Everyone who pledges YELLOW ORE or higher gets credited on the official Talbot Toluca web site. You will be famous! (not guaranteed).
Everyone who pledges PURPLE ORE or higher will get their name inked in the credits section of the book for all eternity. You can show it to mom and dad!
If you're a bit more adventurous, I've created the MONSTER PACK. You get to pick from either an alien/monster, human or robot, and I'll illustrate the character and incorporate it as part of a hidden-object scene in the book. You can name this creature and even give me one concept you'd like to integrate in the character design. This could be a color, multiple heads, tentacles, armor etc. Please be aware that the characters will be small in the book so we can't be very detailed with the illustration. I'll also design this creature in detail, print it out, sign it and send you a copy! This will be in addition to the other giveaways included with this pack (see details). Please note that kids will be reading this book, so make sure nothing offending when naming or coming up with ideas.
For those who want to be champions of awesomeness—the RED ORE PACK is available. On top of all the amazing stuff you'll receive, you will also get an 20x30 signed poster and an 11x14 original art work and a Talbot Resin Statue.
You'll be an executive producer for the inaugural Talbot Toluca book. A long with the goodies you'll receive, your name will appear in the title page, right under the author.
Boom! That just happened. And I love you for it.
ORIGINAL ART vs ART PRINTS
Original art will be an illustration based on one of the Talbot Toluca characters or group of characters. I can also draw an Edward Gorey style illustration in place of your original art but it will be in a smaller size 6x9 piece. I will use high-quality paper, pen and elbow grease. You will have to provide me with a concept or character you'd like me to create.
If you'd prefer digital art over original art, I can do that as well and
provide you with a signed high-quality print. Here's an example of a digital art I've done in a Mignola style (he is awesome).
*** Switching to other art styles and custom illustrations are only available for RED ORE pack tier.
*** All artwork will be uncolored. Any changes to tier options must be approved first. :)
You can see more examples at my Society6 page
Posters and art prints can be based out of the book cover or any other posters that come out during this entire kickstarter. You can pick from the designs and I'll send that to you.
Here are sample bookmark design ideas. More to come as we progress through the kickstarter campaign. I've got some fun and cool ideas that I think you will enjoy!
Here's a couple of original inked b/w character sketches on 8.5x11.
The models will be around 4-5 inches tall. Photos will be added as soon as we get some.
While I am in charge of all the behind-the-scenes design and art, I will work closely with a great team for the rest of the production. Printing and fulfillment will be handled by POP! Goes the Icon, a local publishing house who has years of experience in print and distribution. Selecting a local publisher saves time and shipping costs. I've already met with them to do test prints, and they look great!
I will work with PGTI to get the best possible quality and on-time delivery. Miscellaneous rewards that do not involve printing of the book or original art prints will be personally handled by me.
Resin models will be designed and produced by Nocturnal Combustion FX in Bellingham, WA. They specialize in visual effects, prop design, practical effects for films, etc.
If you have any questions related to this project, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks, Gang!
All your contributions and pledges will go right to the printing of the book as well as creation of the rewards. In addition, there will be fees and taxes that should also be considered. This project comes straight from my heart and my only wish is that Talbot Toluca reaches the hands of fans like yourselves. I hope that you share this with your friends so that more people can experience the Talbot Tales!
Risks and challenges
I've been working for over six months on the book and majority of the content is complete. I've allowed for enough buffer time for production and am confident this will be met.
The priority is completing the book, then the rewards will follow. Keep in mind that adding more content (i.e., the popularity of monster pack) may add time as well. International orders may take longer for shipment, so please consider that factor as well.
Once the Kickstarter campaign successfully ends, I will post updates on this page for everyone. Thank you!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Decision Making Under Uncertainty
Choosing optimally among different lines of actions is a key aspect of autonomy in artificial agents. The process by which an agent arrives at this choice is complex, particularly in environments that are noisy and/or shared with other agents. This course will focus on how to make optimal and approximately optimal decisions in multiagent settings. It will be self-contained, introducing relevant background literature such as aspects of probability and game theories.

The Jordanian government is gearing up for parliamentary elections tomorrow that it sees as a referendum on this small kingdom's attempts at gradual reform.
Polls taken throughout the year, however, show disinterest or disenchantment from a large portion of the electorate. Years of stagnant politics have dulled popular expectations that much will change.
In response, Jordan's leaders have engaged in a major public relations campaign to convince citizens to participate in the Jan. 23 poll, calling it a critical moment that will shape the way the kingdom is governed in the future.
"Now is the time for us to move actively toward key, practical milestones in that journey towards democracy. This election is one of those critical steps," wrote Jordan's King Abdullah II in local newspapers at the end of December – an unexpected moment of broad public outreach from a monarch who has earned criticism from activists and analysts for his low profile during Jordan's two years of street protests. "I call on all fellow citizens to actively engage in important decisions and problem-solving activities of our society," he wrote. "This starts now, by making our voices heard in the election campaigns and by voting on election day."
The opposition has been pushing back, saying the elections do not offer genuine democracy, and asking Jordanians not to participate in a process opposition figures see as fundamentally flawed and conducted under a law widely described as unfair. They, too, see the elections as a turning point: They expect that a record-low turnout and the election of another unpopular parliament will discredit the reform program the government has been pushing and breathe new life into the opposition.
Ghaith Al-Qudah, chairman of the youth wing of the Islamic Action Front, Jordan's largest political party, says he expects as much as 60 percent of the new MPs to be political veterans, who are widely seen as ineffective and corrupt. "This would be very, very bad; a very dark point for our elections." But, he says, "if we have the same guys like the old guys, who corrupted our life, this will be a very strong point for us [in the opposition]: that nothing has been changed."
Boycott rallies small
As election day approaches, however, the opposition strategy looks to be losing steam. On Friday, a coalition of opposition groups staged a seven-hour mass rally in central Amman, but only drew about 2,000 people. That's a relatively small turnout for a party that has been able to put 10,000 to 15,000 people in the streets.
Organizers suggested various causes for the weak showing, including poor planning and the recent cold weather. But members of some non-Islamist opposition movements said the problem was deeper, a demonstration that the elections were not actually a strong point for the opposition.
"It's a good message to the Islamic movement, and to the opposition, that people of Jordan cannot be moved ... on other people's priorities," says Mothanna Gharaibeh, an independent leftist activist. In 2012, when the government raised fuel prices, thousands of Jordanians took to the streets without encouragement from the Islamic movement, he pointed out. But today's issues are different: "all the dialogue about the election law, it's just a dialogue between politicians, it's not a priority for Jordanians."
His analysis lines up with polls conducted throughout the year by groups like the US-based International Republican Institute, and Jordan's Center for Strategic Studies, which suggest that while the government is fairly unpopular, that sentiment is based more on generalized frustration with the country's poor economic situation than on specific political issues.
But Mr. Gharaibeh also says there are growing worries about the Islamist movement, on the back of the insecurity that has reigned since an Islamist government took the helm in Egypt.
"Many people who are against the election law, who are against the elections, they are boycotting the elections, but they did not want to go out into the street with the Islamists, after the Egyptian experience," he said. Both organizers and participants in Friday's protest expressed similar confidence that the silent majority would support their boycott.
The poor showing at the demonstration is a small black eye for the opposition, but the critical question is still how many people will actually vote on Wednesday.
Controversial election law
Changing Jordan's election law has been a major demand of the protesters who have maintained a constant presence in Jordan's streets for nearly two years, and it is at the heart of the current fight. Analysts, election monitors, and even Jordan's own political reform committees have all pointed at the election law as a major reason why parliaments here are seen as out of touch and ineffective.
The law is unusual in that it gives each citizen one vote in a multi-seat constituency. This makes it difficult for political party candidates to get elected, as most Jordanians face social pressure to use their one vote for "independent" candidates, who represent the interest of their particular tribe or family. The law was created in the early 1990s after an Islamist-dominated opposition won a majority voice in parliament, and most historians and analysts say it was created specifically to keep leftists and Islamists out of the legislature. In the next election, in 1993, political party representation in parliament dropped radically.
Jordan's voting districts are also wildly unequal in weight, with areas seen as regime strongholds getting a higher proportion of votes: In 2010, the International Republican Institute's election monitors noted that a parliamentarian from one district might represent 7,500 voters, while a parliamentarian from another might represent 46,000.
"Most people in Jordan consider the 'one vote' system to be an extremely backward one, because it fragments society and creates hatred between people," said one protester at Friday's rally, a teacher from the southern town of Tafileh. He asked that his name not be used. "We want the downfall of this backward election law, and to fight [corruption] by coming up with a new, modern, and civilized law that would serve the society as a whole. This will enable us to hold corrupt people accountable."
In 2011, in response to protests, the state called for a review of the elections law. The version that was finally passed in 2012 contained fewer changes than many had hoped for. Jordan now has a convoluted system by which most of the 150 seats will be elected under the same process as before, while 27 will be elected on a "national list," which may make it possible for political parties, with actual policies, to gain a foothold. (Editor's note: This paragraph has been edited to correctly reflect when the elections law went into effect.)
The king says this is the first step toward real, European-style parliamentary democracy, and has promised to consult with parliamentary figures on choosing the next prime minister. Eventually, he has said, parliaments may be able to choose their own leaders – though in a paper published last week he suggested that process could take more than a decade. In the months since the January elections were announced, the government and the royal court have been engaging in a full-court public diplomacy press, trying to get citizens to buy into the process, with the elections as its centerpiece.
But the opposition, which has seen years of political reform initiatives fall by the wayside, says the process is not a genuine attempt at reform: It is too slow, the number of national list seats is too few to make any real difference, and the new parliament is likely to be just a repeat of the last ones. If Wednesday's turnout is poor, the opposition believes it will have a moment to press its longstanding argument that the regime has no intention of allowing real democracy.
A strong turnout in the elections, on the other hand, would be a substantial victory for the regime, which will be able to say that most Jordanians support its extremely gradual reform process.

The Best Stainless-Steel Skillets of 2019By Lindsay D. Mattison, Updated January 02, 2019
A stainless-steel skillet should be your go-to kitchen workhorse, capable of cooking almost anything. Searing, braising, frying, sautéing, and making pan sauces—your skillet can do it all. And if it's a good one, it should last a lifetime.
Because your stainless-steel pan is likely to stick around for a while, it's reasonable to wonder if it's worthwhile to splurge on a spendy skillet (or even an entire stainless-steel cookware set). To find out, we chose seven of the best stainless-steel skillets out there at a variety of price points and tasked a trained chef (you guessed it, me!) to put them to the test. I had a ton of fun tossing vegetables and searing steaks, and I found a few skillets that I'd easily recommend as your new, favorite all-purpose cooking tool.
Our winner, the All-Clad Stainless Steel 12-inch Fry Pan (available at Amazon for $169.95), proves that pricy pans may indeed be worth the money—but not to worry, we also have a great budget pick if you're seeking something a bit cheaper.
Before we get too deep into our reviews, it's important to note that skillets are different than sauté pans, even though they can often be used for similar tasks. Skillets offer a smaller surface area and have slanted sides, unlike the sauté pan, which has verticle sides.
These are the best stainless-steel skillets we tested ranked, in order:
- All-Clad 4112 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 12-inch Fry Pan
- Tramontina Gourmet Prima 12-inch Fry Pan
- Emeril Lagasse 62953 Stainless Steel 12-inch Fry Pan
- Calphalon 1948233 12-inch Omelet Pan
- Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11-inch Frying Pan
- OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pro 12-inch Open Frypan
- Cuisinart MCP22-30HN 12-Inch Skillet
All-Clad 4112 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 12-inch Fry Pan
All-Clad 4112 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 12-inch Fry PanBest Overall
The All-Clad 4112 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 12-inch Fry Pan is the king of the cookware, the ultimate stainless-steel pan, and our top choice. Its USA-made, fully clad, tri-ply construction delivered both perfectly seared steaks and pan sauces that reduced beautifully without any signs of scorching.
The flared sides make tossing food feel effortless, and the 9.5-inch cooking surface area provides plenty of room for the ingredients to breathe. You could easily cook an entire broken-down chicken in this pan with enough room for each piece to brown without stewing in its own juices.
The weight had me worried in the beginning (lighter pans have difficulty retaining heat, and this was the lightest pan in the group), but my concerns were soon laid to rest as it heated up quickly and retained heat nicely. It was the best in the group at even heating, with only a 20°F variation between the hottest and coldest spots. Even after hours of testing, the handle was cool to the touch.
Sure, this pan isn't cheap but its performance makes it totally worth the cost. I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't last decades if treated properly.
Tramontina Gourmet Prima 12-inch Fry Pan
Tramontina Gourmet Prima 12-inch Fry PanBest Value
If spending more than $100 on a skillet isn't your thing, the Tramontina Gourmet Prima 12-inch Fry Pan makes an excellent budget alternative. Like the All-Clad, this Tramontina features tri-ply stainless construction. There's a lot to like about this skillet, but it really shines when it comes to heat distribution and retention. While some of the other pans heated faster, this skillet retained heat better and more consistently.
The Tramontina was heavier than the All-Clad but still light enough to comfortably hold with one hand. The angled handle prevented excess heat during use and worked well to balance the pan's heft. The fluted edges are deeply sloped, providing a cooking surface area of only 8.5-inches (the smallest of all the pans). These edges were quicker to stain than the other pans, but they came out with a quick scrub in soapy water.
I was impressed with its performance, and given its solid construction—and lifetime warranty!—this skillet should be built to last. Tramontina makes an excellent value choice.
How We Tested
The Tester:
Hi, I'm Lindsay Mattison, trained professional chef and skillet enthusiast.
I've been cooking most of my life, but at some point I decided to make it official and go to culinary school. I've spent the last five years working in professional kitchens. After making hundreds (if not thousands) of sauces at the pasta station and pan-frying more oysters than you can imagine, I've come to know exactly what to look for in a skillet. And because I've owned my personal skillet for eight years, I'm especially invested in locating great pans that you'll be glad to hang onto.
The Tests:
We tested seven 12-inch stainless-steel skillets with varying layers of aluminum and stainless construction (including dual core, tri-ply, and 7-ply). We rated each pan on three major criteria: weight, even heating, and overall design.
Weight is an important factor in a skillet. Heavy pans heat more evenly, but increased weight makes the skillet harder to handle and clean. Very heavy pans also retain heat for longer, which can make it difficult to adjust temperatures quickly. We boiled water to test each pan's speed heating, seared steak to measure its heat retention capabilities, and determined whether the pans felt light enough for everyday use.
Hot spots are unavoidable—every burner creates them—but a good pan should accommodate for heat variations. We tested for even heating by measuring the pan's quadrants with an infrared thermometer and watching how the skillet reduced pan sauces.
When it came to overall design, we assessed how the design choices affected our cooking. Did the handle angle assist in balancing the pan's weight? Did the bevels from any extra handles create cleaning problems? Did the flared sides assist in tossing food or negatively affect the cooking surface area?
We also looked at ease of cleaning and whether the pans were damaged by the tests. Most stainless pans are don't stain (get it, stainless?), but they do get covered in sticky oil and reduced sauces, and sometimes oxidize with consistent use.
Why Stainless Steel Instead of Nonstick?
Stainless steel is great for searing meat, leaving behind those delicious fond bits that make the perfect start to a pan sauce. It also tends to last longer than nonstick, which can be easily scratched and generally can't go into the dishwasher. If you have an induction range, stainless-steel pans are also a desired choice (although not all stainless works with induction, so double-check before purchasing).
However, unlike stainless steel, nonstick is easy to cook on and even easier to clean. The best nonstick pans can also be a low-cost investment for someone stocking a starter kitchen. When looking at nonstick, keep in mind there are two material types: The hard anodized pans are Teflon-free and tend to be heavier (and more durable) than the coated varieties.
Other Stainless-Steel Skillets We Tested
Emeril Lagasse 62953 Stainless Steel 12-inch Fry Pan
Where To Buy$49.99 Amazon Buy $88.65 Walmart Buy $108.99 Wayfair Buy
Emeril Lagasse 62953 Stainless Steel 12-inch Fry Pan
The Emeril Lagasse 62953 Stainless Steel 12-inch Fry Pan is actually made by All-Clad (although it's manufactured in China instead of the USA), so it's not surprising that it rose toward the top of our list. While the pan stained more easily than its competition, it rivaled the All-Clad for even heating and retained its heat as well as the Tramontina. The flat handle did get very hot throughout testing, but it did a nice job of balancing the light, three-pound pan.
My major concern with this pan is longevity, as it is tri-ply (that is, three layers of metal bonded together) in the encapsulated base only, while the rest of the pan is single ply (one layer of metal).
Calphalon 1948233 12-inch Omelet Pan
Where To Buy$64.99 Amazon Buy $64.99 Walmart Buy $82.99 Macys.com Buy
Calphalon 1948233 12-inch Omelet Pan
There's nothing particularly special about the Calphalon 1948233 12-inch Omelet Pan. Its flared sides and handle design are helpful when it comes to tossing food, and its heft works in its advantage when it comes to even heating.
On the flip side, it had a poor showing at simmering the pan sauce, and the vegetables caught on the bevels from the extra helper handle. It didn't underperform, but it also didn't impress us.
Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11-inch Frying Pan
Where To Buy$249.95 Sur La Table Buy Click for price Amazon Buy $299.71 Walmart Buy $249.95 Wayfair Buy
Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11-inch Frying Pan
The Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11-inch Frying Pan was so heavy I actually audibly grunted every time I picked it up. Every one of my testing notes ended in, "…but it's so heavy."
The 7-ply construction adds up—to five pounds, if you want to get specific. That means it weighs almost twice as much as the All-Clad. While it performed well on almost every other test, this pan is simply too heavy for us to recommend it.
OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pro 12-inch Open Frypan
OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pro 12-inch Open FrypanAvoid
Unfortunately, the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pro 12-inch Open Frypan misses the mark. During testing, we found it riddled with hot spots, and it didn't sear the steak evenly on either side. It failed to be memorable or impressive in any testing criteria, earning it a spot at the bottom.
Cuisinart MCP22-30HN 12-Inch Skillet
Where To Buy$69.95 Amazon Buy $69.95 Walmart Buy $69.95 Wayfair Buy
Cuisinart MCP22-30HN 12-Inch SkilletAvoid
The Cuisinart MCP22-30HN 12-Inch Skillet's design is more sauté pan than skillet, with tall, vertical sides that barely flare. This gives it the largest cooking surface area of the group at ten inches.
Between the straight sides and the extra handle rivets, this pan did a poor job of sauteing the vegetables. In addition to its underwhelming test results, the pan actually warped during testing. You'll want to avoid this one.

Rogue Architecture is proud to announce our first prototype dwelling – The Wedge Haus
The Wedge Haus is the first in a series of space and energy efficient homes that we plan to design, market and eventually develop in the greater Little Rock area as a model for modern affordable and ecologically sustainable residential housing. And with two bedrooms, one and one half baths, full kitchen, dining and living spaces in only 959 square feet, the Wedge Haus is about as efficient as it gets. The design is distinctly modern with its wedge shaped single slope roof and simple geometric plan. Exterior finishes are a combination of horizontal fiber cement and vertical corrugated metal siding and roof. The contrast of charcoal gray metal and blue-green siding is a nod to Mid Century Modern design.
The main level is dedicated to the public functions of daily life – Kitchen, Dining and Living – and was modeled after modern loft apartment design in which kitchen and dining are combined with a service wall and dining table instead of the traditional island. The main living area takes up the rear 1/3 of the space and is generous enough for any number of furnishing combinations. The open stair takes you to the second floor and is comprised of two bedrooms and one full bath. Each bedroom has large operable windows to provide plenty of natural light and ventilation, and a full size closet for storage. The second bedroom also has a small desk or office nook.
The overall design and layout of the home is intentionally simple, and each space is efficiently designed without sacrificing functional quality. And because of the compact nature of the design, this home can be built on even the most challenging and limited residential lots. As a development feature, the stair wall is intended to act as a party wall. By removing the windows and replacing standard drywall with fire rated gypsum board, two units can be built side by side on any standard residential lot at least 40′ wide. The performance characteristics of the home are also modern with 6″ exterior stud walls and full depth rock wool insulation covered by engineered structural sheathing and a liquid applied air/vapor barrier. The walls, roof and floor are designed to have a minimum R-30 insulation value creating an incredibly energy efficient home that will cost less to heat and cool and require less maintenance over the life of the structure. We've also allowed for the future addition of a solar array on the roof that would make this a net zero home.
In 2017 Rogue Architecture is committed to creating affordable energy efficient and ecologically sustainable residential designs for a variety of site conditions for the needs of average middle class Americans. Not only are we planning on introducing additional models for sale, but we also plan to develop several of our designs as affordable rental housing within the greater Little Rock area. These are not just ideas on paper. We plan to put our money where our mouth is. If you're interested in working with us in this effort, please contact us and start the conversation.

PA TV glorifies terror attack that killed 22 children

PA TV glorifies terror attack that killed 22 children
and 4 adults in Ma'alot, in 1974
Other terror attacks by DFLP also glorified

22 children and 4 adults
Last week, official Palestinian Authority TV repeatedly broadcast video tributes to terrorists from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). The tributes included glorification of the terrorist "Martyrs," as well as their many terror attacks, in which dozens of Israeli civilians were murdered. Palestinian Media Watch reported last year that PA TV ran similar videos honoring DFLP terrorists.
PA TV glorified the Ma'alot massacre in which school children were taken hostage. 22 of them were murdered along with four adults. A poster honoring the three DFLP terrorists was shown during the video tributes (see right), in addition to posters glorifying dozens of other terrorists and their murders of civilians.
The PA TV tributes were in honor of the anniversary of the founding of the DFLP and were broadcast more than 10 times last week.
A collage labeled "Heroes of the special operations in northern Palestine" showed 16 photographs of DFLP terrorists posing with weapons and some dressed in military uniforms. The term "operations in northern Palestine" is a euphemism for 'terror attacks in northern Israel,' which originated in Lebanon.
"The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Heroes of the special operations in northern Palestine"
The terror attacks DFLP carried out in northern Israel include:
-The 1970 attack on a school bus near the town of Avivim in which 9 children and 3 adults were killed;
-The 1974 attack in the town of Ma'alot in which 22 children and 4 adults were killed, when terrorists took them hostage in a school.
-A 1974 attack in the city of Beit Shean in which 4 civilians were killed.
-A 1979 bomb attack in the city of Tiberias in which 2 civilians were killed.
The following are more pictures from the video tribute glorifying the DFLP:

Do you have a place to exercise? Do you cringe at the food served in your kid's school? A new public health campaign is focusing on these and other questions. WBUR's Martha Bebinger has more:
Rates of chronic disease such as diabetes and asthma are higher in many low-income communities, where there are often few public places to exercise and more fast food than grocery stores. A new coalition aims to change this. The Massachusetts Public Health Association is pushing for new zoning laws, state tax credits and stricter rules in the case of school nutrition and exercise.
A study out last month found that the state could save at least $55 million dollars a year on Medicaid if it reduced the rate of chronic disease by five percent.
The "Act FRESH" coalition will officially kick off the campaign at 1 p.m. today at the State House, and its Web presence is here, including a report here. From the campaign's press release:
The group will call for action to accomplish four priorities in the next two years:
Passage of zoning reform legislation that promotes communities whose structure makes healthy activity an easy choice every day;
Use of economic development resources to support more affordable grocery stores in food deserts and healthier corner stores;
Stronger state and federal school nutrition standards; and
Passage of legislation to reinstate school physical education requirements.

Sometimes we forgot how value a basement really is. We look at it as an area for storage or to do laundry. But a basement can be more than just that and by creating a space that is inviting and functional, you not only add more living area to your home but increase its sellable potential.

Aspects of credit transaction records in commercial banks of Ukraine
The article specifies the point, types and forms of credit transactions in commercial banks of Ukraine. Characteristic of organization aspects and credit transactions record in commercial banks is done. Also the essence and the aim of credit transactions control in banks is revealed. Ways of record improvement and credit transactions control in commercial banks are developed.
Key words: credit transactions, credit transactions control and record, credit arrangements, market economy, balance accounts.
Formulation of the problem. Nowadays a commercial bank in a developed market economy can provide a client with near 200 different bank products and services. Wide transaction diversification is aimed to keep clients and to stay commercially viable unless strong unfavorable conjuncture. No wonder that in all countries with market economy they remain the main operational branch in credit system.
Banks are one of the main structures in market economy. Current state of Ukraine economy development needs constant attention to bank system, and adopting a policy, which is able to create favorable conditions for its stable and effective functioning. Crediting is the core direction implemented by bank active transactions. The credit portfolio includes mostly from third to a half of all bank assets.
Analyses of recent researches and publications. This issue was investigated by the following scholars: Kindratska L. M., Herasymovych A. M., Aristova A. M., Shulga H. P., Kyrychenko O.A., Moroz A. M., Savluk S. I., Zhukov E. F. But questions towards systematisation techniques of credit transactions record needs further consideration.
The purpose and objectives of the study. The purpose of the study is to consider the methodology of bank credit transactions record and to suggest ways of its improvement.
Presenting main material. The economic content of crediting is investigated as a complex and multifaceted process with its principles, conditions and methods. Credit arrangements between the bank and the borrower are based on the principles of partnership. This means, that all the issues, related to the crediting process, are decided on contractual basis by the parties when entering into a credit agreement.
While holding credit police, commercial banks are guided by the bank interests the interest of its shareholders, investors, clients and also take into account national interests of the bank [1].
Credit operation is a type of bank active transactions related to the placement of attracted bank funds by granting them for temporary use or assuming obligations on providing funds for temporary use under certain conditions, and it also gives guarantees, warrantees, letters of credit, acceptances, avails, placing deposits, arranging factoring transactions, financial leasing, issuing credits in the form of discounting bills, in the form of repo transactions, any extension of discharge of dept, which is given in exchange for the debtor's obligation to repay the owed amount, as well as obligation to pay for debt service and other charges of such sum (referred payment)[2].
In other words, as it is stated in the Law of Ukraine "About Banks and Banking Activity" [3], credit transactions consists in placing borrowed funds of legal entities (borrowers) and citizens on the behalf of bank, on its own terms and at its own risk.
Accounting estimate of credit transactions is based on generally accepted principles of international practice, in particular: constant functioning of the bank, sustainability of the accounting estimate, precautions, divisions of the accounting periods, dates of transactions, domination of the content over the form, evaluation of assets and liabilities, separate display of assets and liabilities.
Analytical accounting of the bank loans is maintained according to the types of credits by banks who gave those credits and terms of their maturity. There is a separate record for prolonged and overdue loans. According to the terms of usage, with determination of risks when stock formation, loans are divided into fixed-term loans of temporary financial difficulties, which arises because of production costs (commodity circulation), not secured by received costs in certain period of time. Long-term loans are given for more than one year. They are given if they are secured by collateral (property, property rights, securities), warrantee. They may be given in order to form fixed assets, for capital spending on reconstructions, modernization, expansion of already existing fixed assets, for new constructions, privatization and so on. Credit, with ended return period, set in loan agreement between the bank and the borrower, and not returned money to the borrower is called overdue. Deferred (prolonged)is a loan or its part, the return period of which is postponed at the request of the borrower for a later date.
Postponement of discharge of the loan is made as an additional agreement to the main credit arrangement and is usually accompanied with higher charge of interest rates. To deferred credits refer prolonged loans (credits). Nowadays banks take into account prolonged credits when credit classification into groups of risk in order to calculate assets for credit risks as the quality of debt service. As a result of classification of credit portfolio the category of each credit transaction is determined: "standard", "under control", "sum standard", "doubtful", or "hopeless"[4].
Accounting operations by credit transaction concern:
1) record of the par value of the loan and change of the main sum of the debt;
2) record of interest and commission income.
Record of the par value of the loan depends on the method of payment of interests: in a period, during the period. In case of the usage of the method "in a period", interest may be paid periodically or at maturity, determined by credit agreement, and the sum of the par value of the loan and sum, transferred to the current account (or a correspondent bank account)-are the same.
Classification of accounts in the balance sheet for credit transactions record is shown below (pic.1):
Source: developed by the author, based on[1].
When applying the method "during the period" interest may be paid wholly or partially at the moment of granting a credit, by advance. Since the sum, transferred to the current account of the borrower will be reduced to the sum of interest, paid during the period, in financial record there is a separate account of the sum of the par value credit and sum of interest, paid by advance. During function of credit agreement, the sum of advance interest should be depreciated [5].
The credit portfolio of commercial bank should be viewed in two meanings: the broad and the narrow. In the broad it is understood as a complex management tool (assents and liabilities) of the bank; in the narrow as a set of credit tools for the main goals achievement.
So, the main goals of the formation of the credit portfolio are:
- the high level of income in recent period;
- high rate of the expected income in future long-term perspective;
- minimizing of the risk level of credit portfolio; compliance of the required liquidity credit portfolio;
- provision with maximize effect of tax incentives.
Effective asset management of your own credit portfolio by using the theories of commercial credit, conversion (transfer) of assets of the expected income allows commercial banks to get liquidity credit portfolio. Liquid credit portfolio for domestic banks in terms of its significant growth is vital [6].
The credit portfolio management should be viewed as a process, which consists of 5 consecutive stages:
- first- the choice of credit politics;
- second-credit market analysis;
- third- formation of credit portfolio;
- fourth- review of the credit portfolio; fifth- evaluation of the effectiveness of the credit portfolio.
Only a consistent and thorough compliance of each of the given stages will allow banks to improve credit portfolio management and avoid unexpected losses. For efficient crediting process, clear state economic policy is needed; the list of prioritized directions of investment, strengthening the protection of creditors rights and increase of society's confidence in banks is needed as well.
If banks more carefully monitor the crediting process; enhance the transparence of bank procedures and technologies, it will ensure the quality of the credit portfolio, and therefore the efficiency of the bank institution functioning as a whole.
Conclusions. Therefore, to optimize the accounting procedures, that reflect the credit transactions, it is appropriate to offer the following steps: to introduce a methodology of record of delayed debt (prolonged), providing the accounts plan of accounting record of banks of Ukraine with accounts for record of the debt depending on the length of its origin (for example from 1 to 3 months, from 3 to 6 months an d from 6 months to 1 year).
So it will be easier for the banks to control the circulation of credit transactions according to classification – "standard", "under control", "substandard", "doubtful", "hopeless", that will give an opportunity to resolve all the existing problems with the borrower and look for prospects towards the credit's repayment. Also it is necessary to expand credit transactions record according to terms of giving or receiving, provided in accounts plan of banks of Ukraine for short-term debt record (up to 1 year), medium-term (1-3 years), and long-term debt record (more than 3 years).

My daughter have a common rant, a type of personality that really puts us off. It's being a know-it-all. My wife dislikes arrogance. I get that. But both Lucy and I don't mind someone being confident in what they really know/understand, it's when someone assumes they know everything about everything that this false certainty emerges. It's irritating because you learn to no longer have faith in that person's knowledge anymore, even on topics that person is likely to understand well. In essence s/he is undermining their own credibility.
If you've ever seen the film Being There starring Peter Sellers you will understand the way privilege often plays a part in what we think others know. There is a scene where the maid in a rich man's home sees the mentally challenged man on TV whom she has cared for, dressed, fed, etc. and realizes that the culture she lives in has taken this man's simple ideas and found a depth that is really not present. She knows that as a woman of colour she will never be given this kind of creditability, no one in this culture will seek out her knowledge, and she laments this awareness.
In a way, looking back, I can see that this woman was right. For many years in ministry being able-bodied, straight, white, and male afforded me credibility and even privileged in the eyes and ears of the churches I served. By being all these things people just assumed I knew, I was aware, I could and would lead us to the Promised Land. And when that happened, when churches filled and dollars poured in, and mission expanded, I assumed it had to do with me. To use the tired old expression I began to "drink my own Kool Aid." It led to the inevitable crash and burn, when the combination of one's arrogance and reach beyond one's grasp leaves a new community less than impressed. They see that the Emperor has no clothes.
At that point a choice is to be made. Does one change gears, recalibrate, and re-evaluate one's approach to life or double-down and move on to safer and more predictable communities where the applause will come back? I have tried to walk the former path. It does not make me better, there is no evangelical "aha" moment here. I don't consider myself better or worse, just different. I was nicer then, more kindly and less provocative. But in my edginess now I feel more grounded, in my lack of certainty I can be open in a way I was not before.
Today a member of the church I now serve sent me this video of a Dalhousie Convocation address. It is all about humility and empathy, which the speaker reasons go together. I love the story of the stacks of unread journals being a reminder of what we do not know, that arrogance and certainty lead to being closed to the new and hierarchy and needing others to look up to you only defeats the culture of correction that we all need to improve.
This speaker reminded me why I loathe titles, degrees after my name, people putting me on a pedestal. It just all seems so sad, so obviously an attempt to give ourselves a certainty that is not real. Being aware of what we do not know opens us to the awareness that others know more than us, that answers are left to be discovered, and that our hubris is often the beginning of our own fall.
As Chance Gardener says, "A garden needs a lot of care and a lot of love. And if you give your garden a lot of love, things grow. But first, some things must wither. Some trees die." May certainty and arrogance die and empathy and humility grow in our gardens.
