Introduction to Fourier Analysis and Wavelets - Mark A Pinsky
In the last 200 years, harmonic analysis has been one of the most influential bodies of mathematical ideas, having been exceptionally significant both in its theoretical implications and in its enormous range of applicability throughout mathematics, science, and engineering.
In this book, the authors convey the remarkable beauty and applicability of the ideas that have grown from Fourier theory. They present for an advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student audience the basics of harmonic analysis, from Fourier's study of the heat equation, and the decomposition of functions into sums of cosines and sines (frequency analysis), to dyadic harmonic analysis, and the decomposition of functions into a Haar basis (time localization). While concentrating on the Fourier and Haar cases, the book touches on aspects of the world that lies between these two different ways of decomposing functions: time-frequency analysis (wavelets). Both finite and continuous perspectives are presented, allowing for the introduction of discrete Fourier and Haar transforms and fast algorithms, such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and its wavelet analogues.
The approach combines rigorous proof, inviting motivation, and numerous applications. Over 250 exercises are included in the text. Each chapter ends with ideas for projects in harmonic analysis that students can work on independently.
This book is published in cooperation with IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute.
Undergraduate and beginning graduate students interested in harmonic analysis.
"This is a gentle introduction to Fourier analysis and wavelet theory that requires little background but still manages to explain some of the applications of Fourier and wavelet methods and touch on several current research topics. ... The authors have taken care to be accessible to undergraduate mathematicians. ... Compared to standard texts, this book is characterised by more personal and historical information, including footnotes. ... It comes with many projects for interested students, and lists a number of open-ended problems that suggest further developments and should engage interested students. ... In summary, this is a well-written and lively introduction to harmonic analysis that is accessible and stimulating for undergraduates and instructive and amusing for the more sophisticated reader. It could also be argued that the material herein should be part of the knowledge of most undergraduates in mathematics, given that the modern world relies more and more on data compression. It is therefore timely as well. It has certainly earned my enthusiastic recommendation."
-- Michael Cowling, Gazette of the Australian Mathematical Society
"A wonderful introduction to harmonic analysis and applications. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students and it is right on target. Pereyra and Ward present in a captivating style a substantial amount of classical Fourier analysis as well as techniques and ideas leading to current research. ... It is a great achievement to be able to present material at this level with only a minimal prerequisite of advanced calculus and linear algebra and a set of Useful Tools included in the appendix. I recommend this excellent book with enthusiasm and I encourage every student majoring in math to take a look."
-- Florin Catrina, MAA Reviews
"[T]he panorama of harmonic analysis presented in the book includes very recent achievements like the connection of the dyadic shift operator with the Hilbert transform. This gives to an interested reader a good chance to see concrete examples of contemporary research problems in harmonic analysis. I highly recommend this book as a good source for undergraduate and graduate courses as well as for individual studies."

" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum. The cord is also tangle free and feels very nice...." --thug behram

Reviews for this host's other properties
It has everything uncomplicated and very well.
Es hat alles unkompliziert und sehr gut geklappt.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The house is really nice and we can only recommend this. It is even more beautiful than in the photos. We stayed 2 weeks in the autumn of 2014 in the Villa Silvina and we did not miss anything. Only disappointment was that we had to clean the apartment on its own after a week and the replacement sheets were put down only at the entrance and we had to do this myself. We're not used to us by Mallorce FINCAS, especially not in this price range.
Das Haus ist wirklich sehr schön und wir können dies nur weiter empfehlen. Es ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Wir waren 2 Wochen im Herbst 2014 in der Villa Silvina und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Schade war nur, dass wir nach einer Woche die Wohnung eigenständig putzen mussten und die Ersatz Bettwäsche wurde nur beim Eingang hingestellt und wir mussten dies selber tun. Das sind wir uns doch von Mallorce FINCAS nicht gewohnt, vorallem nicht in dieser Preisklasse.
We were completely satisfied and had a good time.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden und hatten eine gute Zeit.

Dear Anna,
we loved our stay in your beautiful villa! We felt immediately at home. You were so kind to show us the entire house when we arrived to early. We will definately return some time when we have the opportunity. The ambiance was so cosy and the facilities where fantastic as well as the view.......stunning! Thank you so much for everything. Goodluck in the future. With kind regards family Bemelmans, family Esseling and family Willems from the Netherlands.
A very nice, big house in the old town. With arches from 1771! We enjoyed it very much.
We enjoyed our holiday in the accommodation very, The house was clean and well furnished. The beds were a bit hard and uncomfortable, but we recovered good anyway (;-)).
The distance to the beach is about 1 km, we had a car, so it was no problem.
The area is very quiet, sleeping in was not an issue.
We would love to go back. Is recommended.
Wimdu can I recommend, we had small problems with the house at the beginning, my colleagues have sought exemplary to the solution only, thank you for that!
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in der Unterkunft sehr genossen, Das Haus war sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Betten waren leider etwas hart und unbequem, aber wir haben uns trotzdem (;-) ) gut erholt.
Der Abstand zum Strand ist ca 1 Km, wir hatten ein Auto, daher war es kein Problem.
Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, Ausschlafen war kein Problem.
Wir würden gerne wieder hinfahren. Ist empfehlenswert.
Wimdu kann ich nur empfehlen, wir hatten kleine Probleme mit dem Haus am Anfang, die Kollegen haben sich vorbildlich um die Lösung bemüht, danke dafür!
The house is great. You have enough room, beautiful pool and everything is clean. Two minor issues: 1. The owner can only speak Spanish, so that can be difficult. 2. The bed in one of the rooms was clearly at the end of his life.
The service from 'Charming Islands' was perfect. They are 24hours available and the service is good and swift.
We had a great vacation.

The bass edition is only a little bassier than the regular GR07 so not really competition for the EPH-100 in the bass quantity department. My review of the GR06 covers the differences between that and the GR07 in more detail than I can recall now.
Thanks for the recommendation joker! Anything else possibly in the $30-$60 range or not really worth spending more then what the m6 costs unless I went much higher?
I was considering just buying some ear hooks/guides and buying something different like the astrotec am80 or sound magic e30, any comment on those vs the meelectronic m6? I like the over the ear style on the m6's but I definitly don't mind spending slightly more and v-moda offers ear hooks for iems for $8 and i need a reason to buy something from them to get my xl pads for my m100's anyway.
The problem is that it's hard to say how higher-end units will fare during workouts, especially if they weren't designed for active use. For example, I know that BA drivers don't fare particularly well with moisture so I really wouldn't recommend the AM90 from Astrotec or A151 from MEElec for active use. I tend to think that cheaper is better for something that might fail due to sweat or an accidental cable yank.
The E30 might not be what you're looking for due to its more polite bass and poorer isolation (compared to the M6, at least) but it does sound great. The Astrotec AM-800 and VSonic GR06 sound even better, though again not as bassy as the M6, but I don't know how well they will hold up to gym use.
I use MEElec earhooks on a lot of my earphones (all of my GR07s and my GR06, for example). I think they were $5 for 3 pairs or something like that. I like them better than most other hooks since they are soft silicone and don't have any annoying seams or ridges. Thinksound earhooks are nice but pricy at $10 or so. Sennheiser and my old V-Moda ones hurt my ears.
You just weren't sure which Christmas

The Tigers' magic number? .500

So, here we are waiting out the rest of the season, wondering who the Yankees will beat to win the World Series and managing our fantasy football lineups. In other ...

I liked Martin Sheen's appearance on Charlie's show.
I also liked that this episode didn't feature the stereotypical bedroom scenes of Charlie and his brunette girlfriend / therapist friend, as they were always seeming to "get it on" during the first season.
I think Charlie should get with that sexy "little brown girl" patient of his. At any rate, I'd like to see her have a bedroom scene
Meanwhile, that his dad (faking Alzheimers) was going to pee in the pantry was the most suspenseful moment.
They didn't do too much with the ladies he was two-timing.
The scenes with Gay-Guy and the Coward (forgot their names) were good as he was trying to change his wardrobe. They should do that for his character for one episode and let him play the coward a different way.

20 Dated Celebrity Endorsements From Over A Decade Ago
Victoria Beckham for Polaroid! Jesse Eisenberg for Oxy! Fergie for Bongo Jeans! Pink for Jelly Roll gel pens! Looking back, it seems like any ol' celebrity would slap their name onto a now-dated product with little remorse for how it would translate years later.
Over my winter vacation, I went through some of my old teen magazines from the years 1999-2001. Here's some of what I found.
2. Fergie for Bongo Jeans
Along with the other members of her 90s girl group "Wild Orchid"
3. Britney Spears for Polaroid
4. Alexis Bledel for Naturistics
5. Christina Aguilera for Fetish Cosmetics
6. Pink for Jelly Roll
7. Denise Richards for Max Factor

Candy Wreath
November 30, 2009
It's time to get out those Christmas decorations if you haven't already! I love all kinds of decorations and color schemes for Christmas. One of my favorites is using candy to decorate. Especially gumdrops. I have a little gumdrop tree that I love to display. Here is an easy way to craft a gumdrop wreath:
Start with a six inch styrofoam wreath, 1 bag of gumdrops and toothpicks broken in half. Insert one end of toothpick into gumdrop, then attach other end to wreath. Continue until you have covered the wreath. Voila!

| Being single is all fun and games until you find yourself out on a terrifying or mortifying date. Don't worry -- you're not alone! Here are some real life scary tales from dating disasters.
The Pizza Glutton One time I met a guy from OK Cupid at a pizza place, and I told him I thought one pizza would be plenty for us to share (I wasn't that hungry and informed him beforehand that I would probably eat only one slice). He insisted on ordering two pizzas, though, because he wanted to try two different flavors. So he got the two pies plus two overpriced craft beers, and when the check came I got my credit card out to be polite. But when the waitress was like, "Split it evenly?" I was about to say no -- he had literally eaten 15 slices! Before I could say anything, he goes, "Sure, split it!" So I ended up paying more than 20 bucks for one slice of pizza and some water. Needless to say, I didn't go out with him again.

| I had been lusting after this guy that my sister worked with for the longest time. I used to go by her office just for the express purpose of seeing him. He had a longtime girlfriend though, and so I stopped dropping by as much. When my sister told me that he and his girlfriend had broken up, I was super psyched. I came by the office, and he ended up asking me out on a date. First date goes great -- I'm so into him. We go back to his house to fool around, and just as things are getting really hot and heavy, he called me by my sister's name! He didn't even realize he had done it until I called him out on it. We didn't go out again after that...

| One morning on my way to work, a tall, dark-haired guy stopped me, told me he felt an instant connection, and asked me out. I was a little weirded out, but also flattered -- so I gave him my number. The following Friday, we met for sushi. Mid-way through the date, he started telling me strange things, like that he can channel the energy of the moon and depart from his body to float around the room. Unsure how to respond, I asked him if he could fly around the restaurant. He replied that he was actually already doing so and was in the process of looking down my shirt at that very moment. I ended the date shortly thereafter -- but at least I got a funny story out of the whole thing.

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| The worst date I've ever been on was with a guy who just didn't talk to me! He would ask a question, listen to my response, and then not say anything. When I asked him anything, he would reply with a one-word answer. It felt like I was talking to myself the whole time. And then at the end of the night, he wanted to go out with me again the next day! I should have known he would be awkward… I actually met him while car shopping with my parents because he was our dealer. They had to fill out contact information after he let us test drive a few cars, and he called their home number to find out how to get in touch with me. Because of that, I affectionately call this guy "Toyota Matt."

| I met this guy online, and we decided to meet up at an Indian restaurant. Turns out, the man couldn't handle spicy food -- at all. He spent the entire night in the bathroom! I waited for him for more than 20 minutes, but eventually I decided that enough was enough. I paid the check and left. I'm not sure why he didn't suggest somewhere else if he knew he didn't like spicy food!

| I went on a date with this guy, and I thought it was going well at dinner, so I asked if he wanted to go back to my place to hang out more (my roommates were having some people over, so I thought it could be fun). We grabbed some drinks and were talking for a while when I excused myself to use the restroom. When I came back, my date was hardcore making out with my roommate, who also happens to be my best friend. She and I were able to get past it (she was pretty drunk at the time), but I wasn't so willing to work things out with the guy.

I tried to ignore his comment and change the subject, but then he started going on and on about how he flunked the LSATs and still got into law school. It was like he couldn't stop talking up all of his loser credentials! Mind you, he was well aware that I am a total overachiever... Maybe he thought opposites would attract?

| I went out with a guy I'd met online, and was psyched when I found out we'd both taken improv classes—I thought it would be a great way to talk about something we had in common. But instead of talking, he wanted to actually act out a scene. I tried to laugh it off, but he was really into it -- and for twenty minutes, we did all these weird improv scenes, including one where he wanted me to pretend to be his mom. It was so weird and off putting ... and made me take "improv" off my list of interests on my profile.

| I went on a first date with a puppeteer to get dinner and see a movie. When he opened up the cab door at the theater, he slammed it right into this delivery guy on a bike. The guy and the food went flying, and his bike looked pretty bent out of shape. My date just ignored this poor guy and continued walking into the movie theater! So I went over to see how he was and help pick up the food and get him back on his bike. He seemed real out of it, but assured me in broken English that he was okay. The whole time, my date was just watching, not helping out at all. It was pretty bad.

| After a dinner date that grew increasingly awkward as the night wore on, I reached for my wallet when the bill arrived. An empty gesture, yes, but I felt bad since I knew had no interest in seeing my date again. Pasta and a glass of wine, a whopping $20 total on my end, he wouldn't possibly… and yet as he reached for the bill he said, "Here's what we can do, we can agree to split the bill or I can pay this time and next time, you treat." I felt myself do a double-take.
Wait -- he's asking me out on a second date (that I don't want) on the condition that I pay next time? I must have nodded or mumbled as he paid. A couple of weeks later, after many texts and calls on his part, I sent an email via Match.com's site, thinking it's more polite than ignoring him, saying "I didn't think we connected but good luck on the search" or something like that.
He immediately texted me: "Hi there. Thank you for your message and your candor. I concur with your sentiments. I do insist, however, as agreed that evening you would treat for the next date that you remunerate me for your portion of the bill that evening. Please advise how you would like to handle that. Thank you." No, I did not reply. No, I did not remunerate. Friends suggested ways I could do so, however….all in pennies, all in nickels, or in checks for one dollar each so he'd have to sign each one. Good grief.

| We went to a cute sushi restaurant and everything seemed to be going great until my date asked me if I dared him to eat the entire 3-inch glob of wasabi that was sitting on his plate. I, of course, said no and continued chatting about where I grew up. He wolfs it down anyway. Halfway into my story about midnight cow-tipping (...I'm from PA), I start to notice beads of sweat dripping down his face. Seconds later he's bolting for the bathroom, where he stayed barfing for the remainder of the date, while I sat alone polishing off the rest of his spicy tuna.

| When I was single I was set up with a lawyer who was tall, handsome, funny and had a great body. He took me for dinner at a cute little Italian place in Manhattan and we ate in the garden on a warm summer night. The conversation was great, the food was great and he was great. He even suggested we go to this cute coffee/dessert place underneath a high rise building across the street because he didn't want the date to end. You can imagine how excited I was. Anyway, as we were nearing the dessert place, the guy points to the high rise and says to me, "Do you see that terrace? That's where I lived with my ex-girlfriend until she ripped my heart out and left me." For the next 30 minutes all he did was talk about his broken heart. My perfect date crashed and burned quicker than I can say my own name.

| On a whim, I went out with a guy I met on a dating site. We met at a cute wine and tapas place, and though he was shorter than what he claimed, he was still good looking and I thought he was worth a shot. He asked me what type of wine I liked and I told him I liked all red wines, but wasn't the biggest fan of Pinot Noir. When the waiter came, I was surprised when he ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir. Thinking he didn't hear me correctly, I went along with it and sipped kindly on the wine I didn't like.
A few glasses in, he started asking odd questions: "What do you think about women with cats?" (My best friend has one, I don't. They're fine.) He then said he thought all women with cats would never find mates because cats aren't meant to be pets, they should just be killed as soon as they're born (say what?!). Then he asked what I thought about gay marriage -- to which I replied I was in favor of it. He then proceeded to go on a rant about why homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to vote (yes, really, he said that), or get married because no one is really "that way." I quickly ended the night after arguing with him, and before we parted ways he had to throw in one last question: "Do you shave down there?" Omg.

| I once had a first date with a guy who showed up at my door holding a six-pack of beer and a bottle of lotion. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. He claimed the lotion was for his sunburn. (Yeah, right.) Anyway, we rented a movie, he soon fell asleep during it, and I couldn't get him to wake up! When I literally pushed him out the door, I'm happy to say it was the last time I ever saw him.

| I was out at a bar with friends and was wearing some major beer goggles. I gave some random guy my number and he called the next day asking me out for that night. I agreed. He told me to meet him at Hooters. I clearly pioneered YOLO because, again, I agreed. I got there and … he actually wasn't awful. Not what I remembered, but not awful. We ate some wings and drank some beer. He asked me if I'd be interested in going to a concert. I said sure, before I knew who was playing. We pulled into a biker bar to see Molly Hatchett. Seriously. The only way I was going to make it through that was to drink more beer. Too much beer. And back on came the beer goggles. After the concert, my date seemed to be getting more attractive by the minute. Soon, there was some hot and heavy making out, my fingers were in his hair and …HAIR PLUGS. Date over.

| I dated a guy who did a lot of international travel for work. I found out about three months in that prior to each trip he had been putting up naked pictures of himself on Craigslist for potential hookups with random strangers in the places he was about to visit. Here's the kicker: the "randoms" were men.

| I went on a blind date with a pro football player and he got so drunk that he ended up getting arrested. When we met at a restaurant, he clearly had already had a few drinks. We sat at the bar for a while, and I decided I had already had enough and told the manager I needed a cab home. I left and so did he -- or so I thought. Apparently, he went back to the bar, got even drunker, got in a cab and when the cabbie asked him to get out he assaulted him! Police were called, he got arrested and eventually, he was let go from the team.

| Once a guy asked me out to dinner and chose the restaurant, but then, when we got there he didn't order anything but a beer. I ordered food because -- hello, it was dinner time, I hadn't eaten much all day and I was starving. When the check came, he made me pay. The next day, he left me a voice mail asking when we could go out again. Needless to say, I never called back.

| I went out for drinks at a posh martini bar with one of my literature professors once (after the class was over, of course). He was beautiful, intelligent and flirtatious. I figured he was a bit older than me, but didn't think it was by much and I had a crush on the guy all semester. However, it turns out he liked to drink. A lot. He slammed three martinis within 15 minutes, announced he was 63 (!), fell off his bar stool and had to be picked up off the floor by the waiter.
He then launched into this insane story about how he had cheated on his wife with one of his students, divorced the wife and married the student, but then realized his mistake and divorced the student. He and the first ex-wife decided to get back together, but she had been dating someone, and he decided he wasn't going to let her go, stalking her for awhile before he killed her. Yes, seriously. And he told me the entire horrific tale in under two minutes while guzzling another martini and crying.
I felt sorry for him, but was quite done with the evening by this point. I suggested we go and he got up from the table, reached behind for his coat and instead tried to put on the suit jacket of the man in the booth behind us. I put him in the correct coat and led us across the floor and toward the back door. About half-way across the room I noticed the piano player had stopped playing and the entire bar was staring at me. I turned around to find my date once again on the floor. This time two bouncers helped pick him up and escorted him to the door while I tried my best to become invisible.

| I had a blind date with a guy who said he was a real mover and shaker in the real estate game and loved to work out. We agreed to meet at a Starbucks for coffee. Well, have you ever seen NYPD Blue? The guy was a dead ringer for the Andy Sipowicz character. From his looks to how he dressed to his size -- he was Sipowicz to a "T." So, we get in line to order and when the person behind the counter screams, "next," the guy walks away from me, orders coffee for himself and then walks away to get himself a seat. Uh, hello ... he just left me standing there. I got my latte and split.

Children from theatrical families are often said to have been born in a trunk, but in Aurélia's Oratorio, Aurélia Thierrée turns the cliché on its head. We first view her disembodied hand emerging from the drawer of a wooden dresser, waving a sinful cigarette, grabbing a luscious slice of cake. When a foot pokes out from a different drawer, the hand somehow manages to slip a red suede pump onto it, and the foot wriggles with an unmistakable air of satisfaction. By the time Thierrée has slung her whole body out of the bottom drawer, looking for all the world like a sultry lounge singer rising from a swoon against the lid of a piano, the "fact" that she has three legs seems a completely convincing explanation of the earlier contortionism. Those red pumps — feminine, popping with color — grow as talismanic as the potions and cookies that guided Alice on her adventures down the rabbit hole.
Aurélia Thierrée's trippy world is the product of a collaboration with her mother, Victoria Thierrée Chaplin, who's credited for the show's concept and direction. Chaplin is the youngest daughter of Charlie Chaplin and Oona O'Neill (which makes Aurélia Eugene O'Neill's great-granddaughter); she was born in California before her parents were exiled to Europe. Boston audiences with long memories may recognize the roots of Aurélia's Oratorio in her parents' Cirque Imaginaire and Cirque Invisible, which played at American Repertory Theatre almost 20 years ago. Performed at Jacob's Pillow Doris Duke Studio last week, as part of what has become a smash national tour, the 75-minute piece offered surrealism with sweetness rather than nihilism at its core.
Aurélia's Oratorio is a series of "perils of Pauline" episodes that Thierrée endures with kewpie-doll eyes and a resilient demeanor. Her mother has invented an amazing sequence of shapeshifting props and costumes — a red opera scarf that turns into a hammock and a slackrope, tasseled red velvet curtains that sway like the rigging of a storm-lashed clipper in a storm. Incongruities and swift reversals crop up without warning. Aurélia meets a street vendor who presides over what looks like a flaming cauldron, and she buys an ice-cream cone. She is menaced by a dinosaur made of lace who chomps on her leg. Voilà! — our plucky heroine grabs her knitting needles and quickly knits another to replace it.
Jamie Martinez, a dancer who's worked with David Parsons and Mark Dendy, gets mugged by a trenchcoat that he thought was his friend; three stage assistants cross the stage, chatting, wearing shoe-shaped millinery that could have been borrowed from Terry Gilliam's Brazil closet. The pacing is masterly, and some of the images are indelible — I gasped when Martinez, calling out Aurélia's name, watched helplessly as she was sucked into a funnel and turned into the sand at the bottom of an hourglass. This gorgeous theatricality didn't have to depend on special-effects technology. Old-fashioned poetry was more than adequate.

French Baguette and Avocado Crostini
Really nice to get to know some of you thru the last bake along. It is always fun to have friends joining along to bake together through the blogsphere here. Please feel free to display our bake along badge on the sidebar of your blog if you join in the bake along. For more information, you can refer to the 'bake along' column on the header above.
I really enjoy baking bread..in regardless the asian preferably soft and fluffy type of bread or european breads. I consume bread a lot, even when there's no homemade bread in the house, i will still get a loaf from the bakery nearby. Now this baguette that i made though i think it looks quite good in the picture, it lacks the really crisp crust that i'm looking for ..it could be my oven problem..i suspect probably my oven wasnt hot enough. Anyway, i made some simple mashed avocado and crabsticks to go with these baguettes, simply good.. that the not so crispy crust was not a concern anymore!
Hi protein flour 250gm
low protein flour 50gm
salt 1 tsp
instant yeast 1 tsp
sugar 1/2 tbsp
water 190ml
1. Put all of the above in a big mixing bowl except water. On your machine to knead, pour in the water little by little till a dough is formed. Continue beating till dough is smooth. This will take around 10-15 minutes by machine.
2. Remove the dough from machine and transfer to a lightly floured bowl and let proof for 30 minutes. Deflate it a little and shape into round again to proof till double its volume.
3. Divide into 2 portions. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. Line your baking tin. Dust your hands with some flour and pat your dough into a oval shape and fold in half lengthwise and seal in the edges. ( you can roll over the whole dough then to get the shape more even ). Let it proof in the lined baking tin till double its size again.
5.Sprinkle some flour on top and with a very sharp knife, make some slashes on the dough. Spray some water with a sprinkler and bake in a preheated oven at 220C for 4 minutes. Spray water again and bake for further 3 minutes. Reduce temperature to 180C and bake for another 18minutes.
Avocado crostini
Mash one or 2 pieces of avocado, squeeze a little lemon juice, put in some chopped filament crabsticks and add salt and black pepper to taste. Spread on plain or toasted baguettes.

Your bread looks wonderful, Lena! For a crispier crust, maybe you could try baking it without reducing the temperature. It looks really delicious with the avocado topping. Yum!ReplyDelete
Yummers! It's like guacamole on toast!ReplyDelete
Lovely baguette! Im also bread person, hehe! My husband lives baguette but I'm more of the Asian bread person, hahaha! But I love dipping these in curry...yum yum! I ever read before that the spraying water while baking does creates the crusty effect.... And you did just that. Anyway, hope you find the right way and share with us!ReplyDelete
i like the baguette's color, soft tone and feeling relax...together with the Crostini, this is a perfect breakfast :)ReplyDelete
It is good as breakfast, hi tea and supper too.ReplyDelete
I've not make my own baguette before. Seeing your post makes me feel like making my own baguette too.ReplyDelete
I think the crispiness of crust has to do with humidity too. I always find the continental breads are much more crustier when I had them in Australia than in Singapore.
Lena, the avocado crostini sounds beautiful and looks really tempting as well. Salivating right at this moment actually! haha....ReplyDelete
I'm still away. Will back next week. Hope you're enjoying your holiday. Still 2 more weeks to go before school reopen huh! :o)

I love making bread too- nothing quite beats freshly made bread straight from the oven!! I've never made a baguette before, though I've sort of been meaning to....haha Yours looks great- even if it wasn't as crispy as you'd hoped ;) The mashed avocado and crabsticks topping looks so good!ReplyDelete
Nice bake, Lena! Haven't tried bread with Avocado before, maybe I should try this. I love eating bread too, must have for my breakfast!ReplyDelete
Good and healthy food! So nice to bake your own roti.ReplyDelete
The avocado spread looks extremely good on the baguette slices.ReplyDelete

Hi Lena, I love these French bread. We have a lot of Vietnamese eating stores and they serve these fancy kinds of stuffings. But yours sure looks fantastic.ReplyDelete
Never seen one with avocado too.
And you made that bread! Holy Smoke! Lena...you the kind of lady where dreams are made of.
Have fun, and keep a song in your heart.
The bread and the avocado looks wonderful - I'm sure I would polish off the loaf - deliciousReplyDelete
Mary x
Lena, the avocado crostini looks so pretty to go with the bread! Indeed is a lovely day to enjoy this as breakfast!ReplyDelete
Your bread looks perfect! I've never had luck with bread-baking :(ReplyDelete
hi lena, very interesting, i love to know how to make baguettes, cos i love this with smoked beef slices and gherkins lots and lots......yummy if add your avocado to it..ReplyDelete
is there anything you can't do? Just wondering- your like the ultimate bread baker and cook! I wish I lived beside you.ReplyDelete
I love the look of the texture. Hmm.. will brushing the loaf with water just before baking do the trick to get a really crispy crust?ReplyDelete
I forgot where I read on what to apply to get the type of crust we need.
So happy I found you on Apples and Twinkies, you've got yourself a new follower! This looks fantastic, I love crostini! xo Jessica @ CajunliciousReplyDelete
I do like to spread mashed avocados on my toast!ReplyDelete
This is such a mouth watering preparation,can't wait to try itReplyDelete
Perfection... There is nothing that can compare to home made bread!ReplyDelete
i love guac on toast! i eat a variation of this for breakfast a lot :)ReplyDelete
Hi Lena, thanks for the nice comment on my blog.ReplyDelete
Your baguette is great looking, very much in the core, very soft.
The purpose of the avocado bread is delicious ....

I like your avocado spread on baguette, sound so refreshing and good!ReplyDelete
I always have problem making baguette somehow. I do crave your avocado crostini, so mouthwatering.ReplyDelete
It sure looks good and you've found the perfect way to enjoy it. Sounds like so much fun having a bake-a-long.ReplyDelete

I have already read enough about waterboarding including the Wikepedia page to make my own determination.
In the Wikepedia post it has a list of individuals and groups that call it torture.
Well, I'll start my own list. It is considered a coersed interigation method and not considered torture by citizens and Vice Presidents alike.
That is how much stock I give a Wikepedia page.

Blue Ridge
Virginia & North Carolina
The Blue Ridge Parkway extends 469 miles along the crests of the Southern Appalachians and links two eastern national parks: Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains.
Parkway Highlights in Virginia
Mile 0: Rockfish Gap near Waynesboro, Virgini6h winds 105 miles through Shenandoah National Park. U.S. 250 and l-64 take you to Charlottesville to the east and Staunton to the west.

10.7 Ravens Roost offers vistas of Torry Mountain and the Shenandoah to the west.
16 Sherando Lake is a recreation area in George Washington National Forest 4.5 miles from the parkway via Va. 814. Swimming, picnicking, camping.
29 Whetstone Ridge provided many a mountain man with a fine-grained sharpening stone.
34.4 Yankee Horse supposedly is where a hard-riding Union man's horse fell and had to be shot. See a reconstructed spur of an old logging railroad by walking to Wigwam Falls.
58 to 63.6 Otter Creek runs 10 miles down the Blue Ridge to the James River. Otters don't play here anymore, but people do. Otter Lake (63.1), fishing, trail.

Profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if youve got a long-term perspective on it.
Sage advice from a Wall Street market strategist?
That was direct from the mouth of President Barack Obama.
Traditionally, presidents dont comment on the markets. They know its a path that usually leads to no good. Presidents are not stock pickers. And their words can move markets. Indeed, stocks recovered somewhat from a midday slump after Mr. Obama made the comment, in a media availability with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Yet, given the market selloff over the past several months, might it not be a good idea to cheerlead stocks? Dont extraordinary times call for throwing out the rulebook?
Heres why the answer is no. The President needs to stay out of the markets for the markets to operate efficiently. Even at a time when it seems the government is as inolved in stocks as it has ever been, its still a bad idea for the head of the nation to guide people in how to save or invest their money. People respect the office, and follow the advice, and the president should not have the responsibility to guide private citizens nest eggs. It is beneath the Office of the President.
Plus, he could well be wrong.
Look at it this way: There were plenty of folks who pull down paychecks who called the bottom in the fall. And in December. And in January. And now.
In fact, looking at P/E ratios to guide overall market valuation is more of an art than a science. Some see an oversold market now. Others still see more selling yet to come. And market history has shown us that we can go through long periods where stocks barely move at all.
One last point: For all his appeal, charm, charisma and success, President Obama doesnt do the stock market for a living. If he did, he would be as hesitant as everyone else to recommend someone increase their stock allocations.
After all, many of those who offered that advice over the past year are now out of jobs.
Now thats a problem worthy of the presidents time and attention.
The Messiah will raise his hands to the heavens and bring salvation from these troubled times in the market! E.F. Hutton said it now you gotta believe it!
No It Won't Regards

To me it all boils down to identifying your target and whats beyond it before you pull the trigger. In Missouri for the last several years they require a orange "be safe" sticker be placed on your gun that is visible when you sight down it. It just serves as a small reminder, I am sure your States have similar things in place.

FISL7.0 : Done
Ok, it's done. I'm now back at home, posting this blog entry after staying at Porto Alegre, Brazil, since April 18, attending to FISL7.0 (Fórum Internacional de Software Livre, ou "International Free Software Forum" version 7.0).
It was a nice time I had there, meeting lots of nice friends and helping in the Debian and Debian-BR-CDD booth we were running at the event.
However, it was pretty difficult to keep up and don't fall sleep, as we were almost all the time in the booth for fours consecutive days, starting everyday from something like 9:00AM till something like 23:00. Of course I attended to some talks, but the booth was were I stayed for most of the time. I'm very tired right now but didn't wanted to sleep before posting something about the event.
We had a party to celebrate the release of the 1.0 version of our local Custom Debian Distribution : Debian-BR-CDD, which is based on Sarge and aimed at brazilian desktop users. Lots of drinks, cakes and happy people in the front of our booth. That's nice when you think that FISL7.0 was an event which had something close to (or more than) 5.000 people attending.
People worked very hard to make it happen and I would like to publicy thank everyone from the team for the great release, even if I didn't helped to do it at all :-)
We heard from some people that some government people were evaluating GNU/Linux distributions for use at some specific places and it seems tha our distro was the one they picked. Great, and even better when you know that we already had some use-cases from some other government people even before the final 1.0 version.
Well, it's Sarge, only with some pre-selected packages and a nice desktop design with only a couple of backports and some already-in-trunk debian-installer enhancements. Nice to see that Debian seems to be the preferred free/libre operating systems in lots pf places in Brazil.
Thank's to all the Debian people for such a great OS :-)

South Sudan: 6 things you need to know about the humanitarian crisis
Fighting broke out in South Sudan's capital, Juba, on 15 December and quickly spread to other parts of the country. Within a week, several states had been affected with Bor, Bentiu, Juba and Malakal the most heavily hit areas.
A large-scale humanitarian operation was quickly launched to respond to the urgent needs of hundreds of thousands of civilians affected by the violence. The crisis is exacerbating what was already a difficult humanitarian situation in the youngest and one of the poorest countries in the world. Before the crisis, some 4.4 million people needed humanitarian assistance. South Sudan is also home to nearly quarter of a million Sudanese refugees, many of whom fled violence in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states.
Below are six things you need to know about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in South Sudan.
Half a million people forced from their homes
An estimated 413,000 people have been internally displaced by fighting in South Sudan and over 74,000 more have fled to neighbouring countries, as of 14 January. Aid agencies believe that the number of internally displaced people could be much higher, as insecurity and logistical constraints have prevented relief workers from travelling outside towns.
The largest concentration of displaced people is in Awerial County where over 84,000 have fled and are in need of assistance. Another 66,000 people are sheltering in 10 UN peacekeeping bases across the country.
74,000 South Sudanese are sheltering in neighbouring countries
Over 74,000 people have fled South Sudan; many them have arrived in Uganda (27,000). The UN Refugee Agency reports that 4,000 to 5,000 people arrive in Uganda every day. The wave of refugees is straining the coping mechanisms of neighbouring countries, some of which, like Uganda, already host refugees from countries including from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
About 80 per cent of the South Sudanese refugees are children and aid agencies are concerned about their wellbeing and safety.
Access restrictions pose challenges for aid agencies
Humanitarian access continues to be severely constrained by ongoing fighting, attacks on aid workers and supplies, and interference in aid deliveries. At least three aid workers were killed by unidentified armed men during the first week of the crisis. Many more have been wounded or are missing. National humanitarian workers have been particularly badly affected by the violence, with many seeking safety at UN bases around the country or elsewhere.
In Bor, which has been under the control of both government and opposition forces at different times over the past weeks, all UN and NGO compounds have reportedly been looted and destroyed. Reports of looting of relief goods and health facilities appear to be widespread in areas of the country where hostilities have taken place or are ongoing.
Aid agencies have reached over 200,000 people with assistance so far
Within days of the crisis breaking out, relief organizations were mobilizing food, clean water and medical assistance for people in need. Since then, 203,000 people have been reached with some kind of support. Humanitarian agencies have been reaching people in rural areas as well as at the UN bases.
However, more needs to be done to scale up the response operation. The greatest needs on the ground are water, sanitation, healthcare, food and shelter. Physical protection of civilians is also a key priority for humanitarian organizations. With new pockets of displacement reported daily, aid agencies are doing their best to assess the situation and respond to needs across the country, often facing very challenging security and logistical conditions.
Aid agencies have appealed for $209 million urgently assist people affected by the conflict
Of the $1.1 billion required for humanitarian action in 2014, $209 million is needed to respond to the immediate needs caused by the current crisis until March. Of this, $104 million has already been secured. The overall requirements for 2014 are needed to support 3.1 million people who require humanitarian assistance and longer-term aid.
The protection of civilians remains a top priority for the humanitarian community
Keeping civilians safe is a major concern for humanitarian partners in South Sudan. The UN has appealed to all sides of the conflict to respect their responsibilities under international humanitarian and human rights laws.
Civilians must be protected, and civilian facilities including medical clinics and hospitals should not be targeted. Aid organizations must be allowed to access everyone who needs assistance, no matter where they are. Aid workers, including national staff, who are risking their lives every day to assist their communities, must be able to reach people in need safely.

...are members here on POTUS, but don't be surprised when the vote comes up for your 'relief help' that it gets voted down by any sane politicians....R's or D's. When you combine as much 'pork' to what should be a TRUE disaster 'only' bill, like what the White House is proposing, it won't pass. It is designed to be just another Obama bill to lambaste the Republicans, just so he can show the sheeple of his crowd how mean spirited they all are, thereby making him more 'messianic' in these morons eyes. In other words...the way a community organizer works his ways. Just keep passing out the freebies, so the proletariat keep this phoney on a pedestal.
Obamas Disaster Aid Package
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) |
Democrats live by the dictum never let a good crisis go to waste. What better way to insert their campaign wish list into a Hurricane Sandy disaster aid bill?
To that end, Obama has submitted a $60.4 billion dollar aid request for recovery of damage from Hurricane Sandy. His proposal is chock full of items from his campaign wish list, and will be considered before the Senate this week.
In case you were thinking that the $60 billion price tag sounds too steep, youre not missing something. Only $11.5 billion will go towards FEMAs disaster relief fund. CBO projects that 64% of the funds will not be spent until FY 2015. The entire rationale of an emergency bill is that the aid money is desperately needed now. The fact that much of the funds will not be spent for several years reveals this as a liberal stimulus bill.
Here are some of the items on Obamas Santa list.
- There are several requests for studying global warming in this bill
- The bill requests another $9.7 billion for the National Flood Insurance Program, a 47% increase. This is after the program has already received billions in taxpayer bailout money.
- Other wasteful spending includes, $9 million to replace vehicles, $24.1 million to plant trees, and $32 million for Amtrak, $17 billion to the Community Development Fund, $500 million for Social Services Block Grants, $1 million for the Legal Services Corporation, and $150 million for fishery disasters as far away from the impact zone as American Samoa!
This is what happens when the federal government gets involved in every pork project throughout the country. There is no money left for real disasters. As the Heritage Foundation notes:Obama and Reid know that this bill will never pass the House. Thats why they plan to circumvent regular order by attaching the Sandy relief bill to H.R. 1 the Military Construction appropriations bill, which already passed the House. So even though the entirety of this bill is non-germane to the content of the noncontroversial bill that passed the House, it will never go back to the full House for another vote. This will allow liberals in both parties to bypass the House rank-and-file and head straight to a conference committee.
The reality is that if FEMA had conserved its resources for events such as Hurricane Sandy, it would have even more funds available in the DRF for the response and recovery from Sandy. In less than two years, FEMA has issued 353 declarationsdespite the absence of major hurricanes or earthquakes (except Hurricanes Irene and Sandy). No other two-year period even comes close to this level of activity.
The irony is that were Obama to get his way on raising marginal tax rates and CapGains and dividends taxes on the rich, it would bring in roughly $50 billion in revenue the first year. That would be wiped out entirely by this aid/pork package, which is totally unpaid for.
The bottom line is that Republicans in the Senate must resist the temptation to vote for something simply because of the mellifluous sounding title placed on the top of the bill.

What kind of voltage drop will happen when I put a load on the battery?
Its probably a car type battery, I am no expert but I think you must keep it charged to 11 volts or so, or the lead or zinc in the plates starts desintegrating.The deep cycle ones have something to avoid this, but it limits the current ?Google deep cycle battery.

text: My 12year old female has been having some symptoms creep up lately. She has been drinking bowls, and bowls of water everyday. Randomly begins hard core panting occasionaly. Has been having accidents in the house. Threw up a few times yesterday. And the newest issue is this 'rotten odor' in the past two days its so bad, we can smell it throughout the house. The smell is not her skin - she had a bath 5 days ago... From what i have read online, these symptoms could be the cause of anything from teeth issues, to glad issues, to kidney/liver problems.... She has had some arthristis issues over the last year and half (and we gave her cortizone shots for it). She is also about %98 percent deaf... Anyone have thoughts on what these symptoms could be? My thoughts are 'enough, is enough'... But my husband just cant seem to come to the same decision... His answer is that 'she seems ok, still eating, gets excited for cookies, etc'.... i just dont want something REALLY bad to happen to her when we are not around and she suffers... HELP!!!
