Watching this skillet-baked pancake magically puff up in the oven is almost as much fun as eating it.
"I'm Chinese, born in Hong Kong; and my husband is Scottish-German, born in Buffalo, New York. Our house is full of wonderful traditions, spanning from red envelopes during Chinese New Year to a Christmas tree adorned with over 100 German Old World glass ornaments. On Sunday mornings, making German Oven Pancakes is our family tradition that the kids love to help with. They'll get busy sifting the flour and whisking the eggs while I cut the fresh fruit. It's always fun to cook together as a family every weekend!" -Crack eggs in a separate bowl to make sure egg is okay, and you do not get any shell into the rest of your mixture
-Sifting flour can be a fun family activity, if you do not have a flour sifter, a fine mesh strainer/sieve can be used to sift flour.
-This pancake is dense, yet very tender versus traditional pancakes it's more "eggy" than traditional pancakes – much more "hearty."
-You can top with syrup, honey, cinnamon/sugar, pie filling, etc.

Every life has its share of hardship, and yet we persevere. Every society encounters disaster, yet we survive. Some people press on stubbornly, ignoring the crumbling world around them.

Regular water changes yet extremely high nitrates
Hi all, some help please...
I have a 20 litre tank, two common goldfish, a waterpump/filter sytem, three pumice rocks (covered in algae) and a live plant going for the past six months, and I do 25% water changes once a week, adding safewater, and feed them a pinch of goldfish flake food twice a day.
I noticed that the bigger stronger goldish had clamped fins, and was occasionally swimming fast, skittishly, twisting and turning.
I did a test and the PH, ammonia and nitrites are fine, but the nitrate was at 250 mg per litre, way above reccomended levels, and the general hardness 125 mg per litre.
I've obviously done an immediate water change, and will continue to monitor to make sure they fall.
I try and follow good tank maintenance procedures, so my question is how did I get such high nitrates?
I tested my tap water, and the nitrate levels are at 0.
They don't have any poo-trails, so I don't think I'm overfeeding them.
It's very hot where I live right now, and the temperature in the tank reached 85F, which is way above the recommended level for goldfish. (Although the water out of my tap is 71F, which is the top of the reccomended levels for goldfish, so it's hard to bring the temperature down!) Could high water temperature contribute to high nitrates?
I also don't vacuum the gravel (I read somewhere that good bacteria developes below the gravel surface and shouldn't be disturbed). But should I instead be disturbing the gravel regularly to help get rid of the junk through the filter system - would this help reduce the high nitrates?
Any advice much appreciated. I don't want to be abusing my fish!
You are overstocked a lot. 50% water change twice a week along with gravel vaccing twice a week would help but your conditions will always be bad until you geta a bare minimum of a 30 gal tank for them with an appropriate size filter. The water temps really need to stay under80 with 75 f being better.

+1 with Smaug - a 20L tank is waaaay too small for 2 goldfish considering their waste output (hence the need to vacuum gravel - your filter won't get that) and how large they will get. Goldfish also need really good filtration - like for at least double the tank they're in.
And here's your answer:
"I have a 20 litre tank, two common goldfish"
Are you aware that common goldfish get to be a foot long? Please read those big black letters in my signature.
I agree with everyone above. Common goldfish get huge and have a very very large bio load. The fish are looking clamped likely because they are running out of space.
Here in a nutshell is what goldfish need: LOTS of space, LOTS of filtration, LOTS of meticulous tank cleaning, LOTS of aeration.
I do realize, the mistakes you are making are mistakes, and that previously you may have been mislead and ill informed on how to keep goldfish, and I myself have made the same mistakes. It is clear you care about your fish, or you would not have sought help. Do read Lady Hobbs information about Goldfish, it is a real eye opener to many of us who thought a feeder fish could live in ten gallons!
Now, lets see if I can help.
First. Plan on getting a bigger tank, or, giving the fish either back to the store or to a friend who has a larger tank. The Myth that goldfish only grow to the size of the tank they are in, is in fact, a MYTH. They will grow to fill the tank they are in, and then suffer miserable lives for it. Do your best to gain a proper home for them.
Second, Clean that gravel! Whoever told you to never clean the gravel in my humble opinion, should be strangled. Gravel is a collection plate of waste products, old fish food, fish poo, and anything else you can think of. THIS is the stuff you need to get rid of. Gravel vacuuming will NOT remove beneficial bacteria that grow on the gravel itself, only take out the impacted detritus. You will be amazed on your first gravel vacuuming that the water comes up BLACK..... and it will answer pretty quickly the cause of your high nitrates.
Third, treat a ten gallon goldfish tank as a glorified goldfish bowl, and change 50 percent of the water at least twice a week. Goldfish use up available goodness in the water faster than you can blink, so it has to be replaced on a regular basis. Also with their large bio load, a ten gallon is not enough water to disperse their waste products. Your buddies clamped fins are a sure sign of very very poor water conditions.
Fourth, Get an aerator. An air pump and air stone, the more the better. Goldfish have huge oxygen requirements, and your filter will simply not provide enough. If at all possible, get an air bar, that goes the length of the entire back of the tank.
Fifth, get that temperature down! Ways to do it is get a table fan and point it directly at the tank. Also, if the tank has a plastic hood, replace it with a screen top used for reptiles. The screen top will also help in the meantime keep a larger surface area for air exchange, and for the heat to dissipate out of the tank.
Sixth, Rinse the filter media out in the tank water removed from a water change, EVERY time you change the water.
These are only temporary measures to ease the suffering of your fish, however, a ten gallon will not keep them for any long duration, no matter how good the circumstances. Do everything you can to either re-home them, or get them a bigger home.
a 20l is a 5 gal Tiari

Well I'd have to say I am feeling rather out of place it seems like EVERYONE here either works for e-smith or works for (or used to work for in many cases) LinuxCare :-)
*SIGH* Once more this Friday night just past I was foiled again in my attempt to finally attend my first LUG meeting in this case SLUG. The gods definitely seem against me on this one.
However all was not lost as last week computer wise I managed to get past more than just a standard (or as standard as is possible) install of Debian. Every other time it's had to give way to one project or another at work. But thanks to a sick doctor and the resulting drop in income for the surgery. I have a spare machine which I promptly tried Debian out on. And even though I can see some downsides for the most part I'm impressed.
Due to a combination of work factors, low income and high hardware prices up until this point I've been an itinerant Linux user, having first played with Slackware then RedHat 5.0 and most recently Mandrake 7.1. It's been great to see the constant and sometimes VERY noticable improvement in Linux generally. I've never had the circumstances to be able to dedicate a machine to Linux but finally that's changed.
Now the hardest decision is what distro??
It's funny when you ask someone they tend to divide the options into experienced and newbie with the newbies being recommended Redhat (or equivalent RPM type distros Mandrake, SUSE etc...) and the hardcore users being recommended Debian. Now please save your flames for your barbie coz even tho these are gross generalisations on my part they reflect the trend of what I've heard in my time and it seems for the most part these recommendations work fine.
But what about the middle of the road user??
As I said I may have only been using Linux itinerantly but I've picked up a reasonable amount of knowledge about how it works and I classify myself as a fairly well informed newbie. So what would I be recommended?? Stay with my distro of choice... that's great except I don't have one. I've used a few.. what now??
Or what of the Newbie who's started off on RedHat and is now very adept at using Linux and many of it's features but if you take away his X and RPM and he's totally lost? Should he discard his RedHat in favour of Debian perhaps and learn the "REAL" way?
But what of apt-get?? How many ardent Debianites out there wouldn't know a config file or the like if it fell over them thanks to this great utility? Maybe everyone should go back to Slackware and it's traditional TGZ tarballs??
Well I'd have to say I'm defnitely not the person to answer this but it's something to consider. As for my personal preference, I was VERY impressed with Mandrake when I looked at it and I got that closer towards looking and working exactly the way I wanted it than any distro before or since. However I haven't been trying Debian long and it looks good.
After driving myself nuts with Intel's i810 chipset for a while I nuked the video on it and went with an old Rendition Verite 2100 card and X was up in a flash. Persistence probably would have paid off but I couldn't be bothered as this was more a trial run than anything. Once I passed my X problems I've managed to get HelixCode installed and get Enlightenment happening. so things are looking VERY nice.
Tonights task is mail and this is where my greatest dilemma lies. Particularly in the area of MUA choice. Previously one of the things that stopped me going fulltime to Linux was mail but now thanks to a great app oe2mbx my OE mail has been migrated to mbox format and after checking it out in balsa everything seems great not a problem at all.
I think I've narrowed it down to a choice between mutt and possibly balsa which looked ALOT better than the last time I checked it out. I'm really keen on seeing more of Evolution but I'm not sure if I'm "good" enough to play with 0.x software. Particularly mail which I use so much. I might move to it later when I get the IMAP server running at the office, so at least if it goes tits up I won't lose huge chunks of mail. :-)
Checking out Evolution is on the cards tonight along with some of the other Gnome stuff (both Helix and Standard)as Evolution looks to be exactly what I'm after. OTOH I have trouble going past the praise I keep hearing for mutt particualrly with PGP (or equivalent) intergration.. But I guess it's defnitely a case of YMMV.... Shit the hardest thing about Linux now is not getting it to work it's working out what the hell programs your going to use... lol
Who knows if things go well this "test" system might even turn into my fulltime linux box... now that would be a nice thought.. I wish
This weeks record: My e-smith box at work has now been up over three weeks (a record for me) previous best was (believe it or not) an NT box doing a very similar job to the esmith box. I "tinker" with things WAY too much to have long uptimes..
On the FreeSoftware front I'm very seriously considering a project called of all things NEWBIE another lovely recursive acronym (pity it's more than three letters <shrug>) standing for Newbie Education With Bonus Information for Experts. Hopefully a resource (of some description) to prevent newbies from reaching killfiles and 'faux paus'ing themselves into FreeSoftware oblivion. Alas I can't do anything about outright stupidity (except do my best to stop stupid people breeding :-)) but the good intentioned out there who dont quite have their finger on the pulse of the FS movement/community and would like to get involved but either don't know how or can't for fear of looking like a twit (or being made to look like a twit buy someone not entirely accepting). Hopefully this resource might also remind a few of our more experienced users that they too were once newbies (sure it may have been in the womb for most of them) but it happens to everyone and for the most part it's not a nice time. Surely if there's one thing other than technology us geeks know about it's not fitting in??? Well what baout those who don't fit in (or feel they don't fit in) with the geeks??
Well I've jabbered on long enough, after spending half of last night printing out various HOWTO's and FAQ's and doc left right and centre. I'm off to tackle the beast they call (or used to call) Potato :-)
Until Next Time

You may have heard by now that the guys in EASTWAVE RADIO were in an accident while on tour in Canada and wound up pretty seriously injured. So, of course, the local scene has stepped up to put together a show that will raise money to help the guys out. That's turned into a two-day event now, and one thing to look for is the debut of the PRESSURE POINTS, a new reggae band that features all kinds of local-reggae luminaries: SCOTT GIROUARD (TRUMYSTIC, MYSTIC VIBES, THE I-RATES) on lead guitar, KEVIN WARD (Mystic Vibes) on guitar, REGGIE BURROUGHS (Trumystic) on bass, DUANE OCH (Trumystic, Mystic Vibes) on keyboards, and GARY GEMMITI (The i-rates, ROYAL HAMMER) on drums.
We know you're all desperate to go bowling in Bayside at the BAYSIDE BOWL. Well, how about seeing some music while you're at it? MARIE STELLA's EP release show on June 12 will be the first gig. Don't miss it.
Wait. What? June 12 is shaping up to be pretty sweet. The reinvigorated COLEPITZ will be releasing their new album, No Tomorrow Tonight, that night at the Empire. WHITCOMB will be there. The heavy rock in Portland is on the upswing right now.
HUDSON EAKIN, last seen with FASTER! FASTER!, has a new outfit he's calling JENOVATRON, with an album expected by late summer.

Reviews of this property
Great Apartment. I didn`t see Denise when I stay at her Apartment, but Glen was everytime available. I found the envirometn not so nice, but I didn`t have any problemes there.
we had the most incredible stay with Denise and her friend Glen. The minute we'd entered the appartement, we felt at home. Denise is a very open person and she really shares her home with the guests. Glen is always there to help, too. It is like having a family to rely on, in case you need it. The appartement / kitchen / bathroom are very clean and neat and cosy. I can recommend a stay anytime!
Thank you Denise for letting us stay at your home sharing it with us and for having so much fun with you and Glen. Felt as if I've known you guys for a long time. Hope to see you both again? Maybe next time in Germany????
Denise is helpful and accomodating. But housing is very very crowded leaving little space. The area bit on the price and transport for DC does not seem to me therefore advantageous.
Denise est serviable et arrangeante. Cependant le logement est très très encombré ce qui laisse peu de place. Le quartier peu sur, le prix et les transports pour DC ne m'ont donc pas paru avantageux.
I had a splendid time spending my time in DC at Denise's. Staying at her place made my stay in DC so much better than any hotel could have done so. I got a real taste of living in America and I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
The house is nice and clean and the kitchen is superb! Bus stops are around the corner and you're at a metro station within 15 minutes to go the National Mall (which will take you another additional 15 minutes). The neighbourhood is quiet and looks lovely.
If I'm visiting DC again, I would go here again in a heart beat. Thanks for the lovely stay!
My stay at this wimdu location was very nice. I can recommend it to people who appreciate a stay in a lively suburb of Washington DC where they can experience more from daily life than only the City. My stay was wonderful, which I owe for a big part to my wonderful host!

text: I've been gunning coastal NJ for 25 years or so and have never seen so few birds for this time of year. Gunned the south zone last week with some old timers who have gunned the same area on the Wading river and they have never seen it this bad in 50 years. I'm interested in how the north zone fared and also what others are seeing on the eastern seaboard.

Liberty is the prevention of control by others.
This requires self-control and, therefore,
religious and spiritual influences;
education, knowledge, well-being.
—Lord Acton 1887
At a time when liberty and freedom are under attack in this country as never before, it was a welcome breath to see this sweeping footage of the Statue of Liberty put up on youtube this morning, as Obama announced that he would like to re-open public access to Liberty's crown:
With this move the Obama administration hopes a message will be sent to the world, that "the path to the light of liberty is open to all."
"Lady Liberty", has always been a symbol of freedom and democracy, that's what makes her beautiful. She reminds us that the very nature of liberty is bred of self control and self taming beliefs, the ability to look beyond our own greed and accomplishments to the needs of those around us.
In the culture war between self and others, she pleads with us to rise above our petty natures by her example:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
(The New Colossus–By Emily Lazarus 1883)
Looking outward with her searching gaze, she seems to speak to the heart of hopeful immigrants, but her message is first to us. Her stern face and outward dress derive from the Roman goddess Libertas, symbol of freedom from slavery, oppression and tyranny. Her image, caught in motion, doesn't stand still in hesitation or waiting for direction at rigid attention, but with the free motion of an individual, a leader, is constantly pressing forward, crushing broken shackles at her feet.
Her wish is our wish, to be free. In her hands, she reminds us how the nation's liberty is kept, with the torch of spiritual enlightenment held aloft for guidance in one hand and tightly grasping the tablet of knowledge in the arm of the other. These are the keys which ensure continued free exercise of liberty.
Sam Adams, recognized as the father of the American Revolution, noted this about human nature:
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy… While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader…
If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security."
As much as I applaud the possibility of seeing the spacious views from atop Liberty's crown, whether that wish becomes a practical reality or not is immaterial. She already sends, and will continue to send, the message to the world that the path of liberty is open to all.
March on, Lady Liberty.

Global food security trends: May update
OCHA continues to monitor the humanitarian implications of global food security trends, and supports governments and humanitarian agencies in mitigating the adverse effects of rising prices on the most vulnerable people in the poorest countries.
While international food prices remained stable in April, prices of both wheat and maize have increased sharply, and this will affect the most vulnerable people. "Global food prices are at record new levels. People in the Least Developed Countries face the real prospect of a new crisis in food and nutrition security", said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, at the UN Conference on the Least Developed Countries held in Istanbul on 10 May.
In Istanbul, WFP Deputy Executive Director Amir Abdulla warned: "For families who spend 80 per cent of their income on food, all it takes is one price shock to cast them overnight into the ranks of the hungry. These people are often faced with desperate choices — to feed one person or the other, to forego needed health care, to take girls out of school."
Rising food prices also impact on humanitarian operations: as WFP warned recently, the basic cost of the food basket has increased in 44 of 63 countries they monitor during the first few months of this year.
Not all regions though are reporting higher food prices. While many countries, especially in West and Southern Africa, have been showing relatively low grain prices or only typical, seasonal price increases, in Asia food price inflation is having a serious impact on poor families, where food accounts for more than 60 per cent of household budget.
According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), a 10 per cent rise in domestic food prices could push an additional 64 million people in the region – living on just over $1 a day - into poverty. Rising food prices will also further reduce the standard-of-living of families who were already poor.
Governments in Asia have taken a range of short term measures to reduce the impacts of higher food prices on vulnerable populations. However, in the longer term, structural adjustments will be required, including improving agricultural productivity and investing in infrastructure.

All University staff (anyone with a Princeton University ID card) may pick up complimentary tickets in advance between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, Oct. 3-7, at the Princeton University Federal Credit Union located at the Armory on Washington Road. Tickets also will be made available on the day of the game at the northeast ticket booth, which opens at 11 a.m.

The community service theme will spill over to Sunday, Oct. 9, when
Princeton In the Nation's Service, a student-inspired project to build
sustainable town/gown civic engagement partnerships, will host a 5K
walkathon in Princeton. Proceeds will go toward after-school tutoring
programs in the community. For more information on the walkathon, call

Well, it looks as if EE has the info on this set. In reading the description I noticed something a bit odd.
So these will have different accessories. Also, I may be reading a bit too much into it, but it say "versions" plural. Does this mean we will see the POTJ and the SAGA Trooper?Figures are similar to the previously released versions with different accessories (subject to change).
Things that make you go Hmmm.
Oh, and here's the link:

The degree program in Economics is offered by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The curriculum in Economics is designed to respond to a growing demand for students of economics who are rigorously trained in mathematical methods of analysis. The Rose-Hulman program gives students a broad background in economic analysis and an ability to use sophisticated analytical techniques in their thinking and decision-making. The quantitative training prepares the graduate for further graduate study or for economic analysis work in government or industry.
Students may also obtain a degree with a double major in Economics and another field: mathematics, computer science, etc.
Learning Outcomes:Upon graduating, Rose-Hulman Economics majors will be able to:
Rhetoric and CompositionorElective
SV 150orSV 152
Intro to MicroeconomicsorIntro to Macroeconomics

Joanna Wayne is the bestselling, award-winning author of more than thirty-five novels.
Joanna began her professional writing career with the release of her first novel, Deep in the Bayou, in 1994, but Joanna will be the first to tell you that the wheels were set in motion years before. She started reading at four years of age, the same age that she began making weekly trips to the library to check out as many books as they'd let her have, only to finish reading them all before bedtime. That love of books never waned.
Joanna was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana and was the middle child of a large family. She moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1984 when she married her current husband. New Orleans opened up a whole new realm of activities and she found the mix of cultures, music, history, food and sultry Southern classics along with her love of reading a natural impetus for beginning her writing career. It was there that she attended her first writing class and joined her first professional writing organization. From that point on, there was no looking back.
Now, almost forty published books later, Joanna is known for being on the cutting edge of romantic suspense in both series and mainstream novels. She is known for the suspense and emotion she brings to the page, as she takes ordinary people and thrusts them into life-and-death situations. She has been on the Walden Bestselling List for romance and won many industry awards. She is a popular speaker at writing organizations and local community functions and has taught creative writing at the University of New Orleans Metropolitan College. She received both her undergraduate and master's degree in education at Louisiana State University in Shreveport.
She currently resides in a small community forty miles north of Houston, Texas with her husband. Though she still has familial and emotional ties to Louisiana, she loves living in the Lone Star state.
