Jerusalem: Christian hospital threatened with closure by new taxes
The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) has challenged a Jerusalem court ruling which will charge them such high taxes they may have to close.. If the ruling stands, LWF-operated Augusta Victoria Hospital (AVH), Jerusalem, will have to pay an employer's tax to the State of Israel of about $350,000 annually, said Craig Kippels, LWF representative, Jerusalem. The hospital could be liable for as much as $700,000 in back employer's taxes now, he said. Already, LWF is subsidizing its programs with about $1.5 million each year to provide "care to the [Palestinian] refugees and vocational training to Palestinian youth," he said. "The additional $350,000 is going to cause LWF to rethink a lot of the programs that it does in Jerusalem, or simply not be able to provide those programs." . The LWF has been serving the needs of Palestinian refugees in East Jerusalem and the West Bank for more than 50 years, and through its humanitarian work continues to be an important expression of the Christian presence in the Holy Land. LWF's main activity, AVH, was established as a hospital after the war of 1948, initially under the control of the Red Cross and, since 1950, under LWF ownership and management. The LWF's capacity to provide humanitarian services in the region has been greatly enhanced by a tax exemption agreement originally established with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1966, and adopted by the State of Israel after the war of 1967. Recently the government of Israel has sought to revoke this agreement. Last December, the Jerusalem court ruled that the tax exemption agreement had been cancelled at the end of 2000. AVH health services are available to all, but its particular role is to provide health care to the Palestinian refugee population. About 65 percent of the hospital's patients come from refugee camps. A growing number of patients turn to AVH for medical services that are not available elsewhere in the West Bank or Gaza. The hospital plans to open soon the only radiation oncology centre for cancer treatment dedicated to the West Bank and Gaza populations. LWF also operates a network of Village Health Clinics (VHCs) in five villages near Ramallah. The Palestinian Health Authority (PHA) relies on the VHCs to provide basic medical care to the area residents, since the PHA lacks sufficient resources, especially in the current circumstances, to take full responsibility for such services. In addition, LWF has been engaged in vocational training for Palestinians since 1948, and founded a Vocational Training Centre at Beit Hanina in 1952. Skills acquired in auto mechanics, carpentry, electronics and telecommunications, among other fields, help to equip people to become productive members in society and give them hope. The Rev Munib Younan, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan (and Palestine) said the effect of the imposition of tax liability upon the LWF's not-for-profit activities here would seriously jeopardize its capacity to continue to provide these humanitarian services, and to deprive large sections of the population of the West Bank and Gaza strip of essential health care and vocational training facilities. Younan emphasized the growing importance of Christian witness in Israel and the West Bank, saying LWF's activities in the region, including AVH itself, stand out as an example of the services that the church renders to community members irrespective of their religion, gender, race or political affiliation. "This is what we are called to do as a Church. It is our duty to serve humankind," he said. He called on churches worldwide to lobby actively for the continued presence of Christian witness in the Holy Land, "which may be threatened in the region today."

Commitment and the Adoption of a Common Currency
In contrast to Mundell's inquiry on the optimality of currency areas, this article aims to understand under what circumstances a Pareto-dominant monetary union will be established. Using a multicountry overlapping generations model, we highlight gains from monetary union arising from reduced transactions costs and lower inflation. Despite these gains, countries acting independently will impose barriers to exchange through local currency restrictions, thereby creating transactions costs and providing an incentive for inflation. Therefore, the gains from monetary union are most likely to be lost without collective effort.

My son and I are going to Europe in the fall. I am 62 and this may be the only time I ever go. Want to fly into London (see the sites), see some of Scotland or Ireland, go to Paris, while there see the Loire Valley, go on to Italy - Florence, maybe Cinque Terre, Tuscany? and maybe short trip to Greece - Santorini and fly home. Can stay 4-5 weeks. We prefer to stay in a rental apt in London and Paris so expect one week in each city. I have been looking everywhere and reading everything I can but feel a bit overwhelmed. Could use some good suggestions for a travel itinerary.Both my son and I want to explore a little, see some of the tourist attractions, enjoy the surroundings so it's not necessary to see everything. Thanks

OK - so if you do one week each in London and Paris then you have 2 to 3 weeks to see Scotland, Ireland, the Loire Valley, Italy and Greece.
Sorry but this simply isn;t doable.
In a week you could spend a few days each in Ireland and Scotland - but will be seeing only a few things in each.
If you have one more week you could do Florence and some smaller towns in Tuscany. Or you could go to Greece. This is one or the other.
Frankly Greece is the outlier and I would drop it. Also you really don;t have time for the Loire unless you are going to cut Italy.
You really need to make some hard decisions - and remember that everytime you move from one place to another you lose from 1/2 to a full day - depending on your specific connections.
The most common mistake made by first-time travelers to europe is to try to see way too much in too little time - and ending up coming home with everything a blur. This is really one time when less is more.
If you're going this fall you're rapidly coming up on the need to make reservations - so I would sit down together and rank you must sees - so that you can sensibly reduce the total number of destinations.
Caveat: If you want you can cut London and Paris back to4 or 5 days each to squeeze something else in - but it will only make the whole trip even more of a forced march.
Report Abuse
A very nice trip could be something like a week in London, a week in Scotland (or in Ireland), a week in Paris, and 2 weeks in Italy. This would be simple and not too rushed except for the Scotland or Ireland segment. You'd have to very selective where you go/what you see in Scotland or Ireland.
But a week in London w/ maybe one day trip somewhere, same for Paris and in Italy some variation of Venice, Florence/Tuscany, Rome and maybe the AC or Naples/Capri.
This is just one option - but is a way to see a lot in 5 weeks w/o running yourselves ragged.
Report Abuse
Totally agree, tho I'm an avid Graecophile, it just doesn't fit in -- and especially one of those "only see Santorini" wish-lists; save it for another trip.
Try to cut back, so you can enjoy yourself. In your place, I'd choose to do 8 days in England (5 in London, 3 for Stratford & Bath), then 1 day travel on "chunnel" to Paris. Then 10 days in France maybe 5 days in Paris, a 3-day tour to Loire, and a day trip to Versailles or Fontainebleau... include a day of "down time" too. Then the rest of your time (2 weeks?) in Italy.... maybe fly to Venice, then a train to Florence & some time in Tuscany (a car rental will be great there)-- skip Cinque TErre, that's been so over-promoted by Rick Steves, it's just a line-up of US people with his book in hand. then Train to rome & fly home from rome.
And don't say at 62 "may be the only time I ever go." At that age, I thought I'd make 1 trip to Greece. Just came back from trip #12 (and I am NOT affluent -- I just have my priorities!). Have a great time, but as NY Traveler says, you'd better focus fast, because reservations are being made NOW for popular destinations like London/Paris in the Fall -- in Sept & Oct these cities are VERY busy with meetings conventions and events for Brits & french, so tourists have to compete with these for bookings.
Report Abuse
You can always plan to go back! I imagine after a great trip this fall, you'll be itching to go back as soon as you can.
If you are active, you can probably maintain a decent-moving itinerary. If you aren't very active, I would plan a little slower itinerary because moving around a lot can get fatiguing in a hurry. Where are you flying from?
If you have 5 weeks, that's 35 days. Minus 2 for travel there and back, you've got 33. I'm giving you 1 day for moving in between countries. My quick math:
5 days Ireland or Scotland (NOT both)
1 day travel
5 days London
1 day travel
5 days Paris
3 days Loire Valley
1 day travel
3 days Cinque Terre
5 days Florence
That's 29 days. Leaving you left with 4. You could either give an extra day to any of your stops, or possibly add Rome. We loved Rome and I wouldn't miss it, but that's personal preference.
I too would agree that you can't make Greece with the other stops that you have. You could cut Ireland/Scotland and add Greece instead, if you were so inclined.
I would also agree with travelerjan is very touristy. VERY touristy. But also very pretty and unique. There is a reason it is popular, but it comes with its a caveat.
From my experience, each area of each country is vastly different. You will have a great time visiting just a part of it, but remember, all you are getting is a taste of an area. If you do decide to eliminate a country on your list, you could add another region of a country you are already visiting. For example, France has Normandy, Burgundy, Dordogne, etc...
Hope this helps!

Good grief, 62 is young! You have plenty of time for more trips. Now that I am 72 I am slowing down a bit, but travelled to South Africa for Christmas, and just returned from a visit to the US (I am an American living in England). I am not affluent either.
Lots of good advice above about not cramming too much into the trip. No reason you can't come back for more, and travel is the best fountain of youth I know of.

Oh thank you all so much! I will run this all by my son. He is in California and I am in Denver so doing a lot of this by phone and internet. I am open to all the ideas you have out there!
Report Abuse
No Europe expert here, but if I were you I would spend:
8 days in England. This gives you time to see all the major stuff in London and possibly a couple day trips to castles and whatnot. If you need help deciding what to do in England I am happy to help on that front.
8 days in Paris.
5 days in Rome
5 days in Florence
After that you have about a week. You could go to Greece or spend that time in Ireland or Scotland. Personally I would go to Ireland. Never been, but my dad took my grandma a while ago and it remains one of her best memories. Lots of cute little B&B's you could stay in... Plus the fall looks lovely there.
Also, IMO 62 is young and a great time in life to travel. And that's coming from a 16 year old.
Report Abuse
I agree that 62 is young and you may have many trips in front of you.
I also agree not to bite off more than you can chew.
But...I find that you get a lot out of a city in 4-5 days. And if you wanted to see Scotland, for instance, a few days in a car driving around can give you a great sense of the place.
This all works *as long* as you don't intend to try to *see and do* everything. Just get a taste.
Report Abuse
Have fun with your planning and come back for more feedback if you need it. It can be a little overwhelming to plan as there is so much to see and do. Get a good guidebook to help you along, perhaps a comprehensive one of Europe that will give you the basics for each country.
I really like the Rough Guides website. It's a comprehensive way to research and get the highlights (with pictures) of the entire country that you plan to visit. That way, in a nutshell, you know more of what it offers besides the major city that you will stay in.
I personally love visiting the countryside and smaller towns. I'm not sure of your personal travel style but you may find a few nights in a smaller town or city a nice break from the big cities.
An apartment may still be more cost-effective than a hotel, even if you only stay 5 or 6 nights instead of a full 7 nights. Also, I am by no means an expert on this subject since I've only read bits and pieces on the topic, but do pay attention to the apartment that you plan to rent in Paris. I guess some are not "legal" and are getting shut-down by the local government.

in 8 days one can see some of the major sites in London but not even close to all of them. And if two days are spent outside London - one could see even fewer of the biggies.
Not saying a week in London is too short -- at all. Just that one should not think they can see all of London in a week.

"Not saying a week in London is too short -- at all. Just that one should not think they can see all of London in a week."
Very true - you could spend a year in London and still not see it all... Surely the secret is to work out what you major 'must sees' are in the time you have available. The longer you spend in London, the less time there will be to do other things. Which is the most important to YOU?

You have gotten very good advice above. Along with the others, I would cut back, assume you will return and start seriously planning/reserving NOW.
No one can choose for you but to make the trip more manageable, I would cut either Scotland/Ireland or Greece (or both) and Cinque Terre. I would add Rome for sure and Venice if you cut enough else. We just returned from Greece, including Santorini, and loved it but I would not short-change London, Paris or Italy to visit Greece. Ireland and Scotland are great but, havaing visited, I am not itching to return.
Keep doing research and narrow your itinerary to the places you absolutely don't want to miss. Then we can help you with details. Happy planning - it is a big part of the fun of travel.

Thanks Gordon.

Agree here- maybe I didn't word it correctly- but 6 days in London itself is enough to cover most of the major, obvious must-see attractions. But you won't be able to see everything. I know many people who have lived near London for 30+ years and have never seen Stonehenge (not too far from London if you're a local), Westminister, Buckingham Palace, etc.
The good news is that you will never get bored!
Report Abuse
Just a thought here. I don't know if you are a city mouse at heart, but most of the suggestions and your wishes seem to be for cities. Good as there is so much to see in areas covered easily by public transportation.
However, I am a country mouse, and much as I love cities and their wealth of things to do and see, I find myself tiring after a week of the hustle bustle and relieved to spend time in the country.
You might want to spend a bit of time outside of the cities
1 week London
3-4 days in Kent, Sussex or East Anglia
1 week Paris
3-4days in Loire
1 week Florence, Rome, or Venice
3 days in Umbria or Tuscany
This allows for coming and going to US and travel time between venues.
And PLEASE do not think of this as your only trip across the water! I am older than you and still traveling and still planning trips before I take that final trip and greatest adventure of all.

Discussion in 'On Topic' started by Market Garden, Oct 4, 2009.
Got last week:
On order:
Relpacing the stock, barrel, optic pictured here:
what are you gonna do with the barrel thats on it right now?
fuck now i want a 597LS Magnum
anyone have one for sale?
One of my buddies from work is interested in it. I'll give you guys here first shot at it though if he ends up not buying it.
I also used some of my leftover Alumahyde from my 700 project to repaint my receiver black.
what about the stock?
If my buddy buys the barrel he'll buy the stock too. If he doesn't buy the barrel I'll offer the stock with the barrel on here.
It's not threaded. The optic found its way onto my 22/45. It should be a really fun plinker with the optic on it. I'm thinking about picking up one of the TacSol uppers for the 22/45.
Looks pretty tight man
Thanks. It should be. I'm actually really excited about the scope. A number of guys on SH recommended it. $80 and it's adjustable from 6-24x and has adjustable parallax and a mildot reticle that'll definitely help with holdovers needed with a .22 at longer ranges. The 15MOA base would likely allow me to zero the scope out pretty far, but holdovers are was easier when plinking at various ranges.
It's actually a Tasco.
Part number VAR624X42M
I got it from SWFA. http://swfa.com/Tasco-6-24x42-Target-Varmint-Riflescope-P4505.aspx
I need a cheapy 3-9x40 scope. The 8-32x50 scope I have is too big, and eye relief sucks.
I've never done a damn thing with mine.
They have a 2.5-10x42 version of the one I bought.
Some reviews of it here at Optics Planet:
They're so fun. It's like a cheap to build and cheap to shoot AR. You can customize them any way you want.
Motherfucker fell over and tore out the top rail from the receiver.
Temporary fix = Epoxy
Another reason why I want a smaller scope
can the 597LS be customized too? im really interested in 17 HMR
That's kind of a grody gun. Why do you want one?
They've discontinued the .17HMR 597s.
According to Remington, they aren't very safe.
So you decided to go with the kidd? Lightweight or normal?
Bro.... I would have sold some glass if I knew you needed some. I'm redoing my 10/22 too.
what other semi autos are there in that?
It's the normal one. I really didn't want to spend the extra money on the lightweight one, and really it's not much different in construction than the barrel I have now. It's a steel barrel with an aluminum sleeve on it. The steel part on the Kidd barrel might be thicker or whatever, but I didn't want to risk it not shooting much better than what I have now. Anyways, I went with the 16.5" Kidd match barrel, so it shouldn't really be that heavy.
I didn't even think to ask you about if you had any extra glass.
What are you doing to your 10/22?
Not very many now that they've decided .17 HMR is dangerous in semi-auto guns.
How are you liking that Bell and Carlson stock? I was thinking about getting that exact one.
I must remember to investigate said scope tomorrow

This book almost needs two reviews, depending on the audience. As a casual read, it's almost impenetrable, providing without much explanation or exposition the detailed translations of German unit reports, diaries and subsequent interrogations over the crucial weeks immediately following the D-Day landings. The maps, in the paperback edition reissued by Frontline Books, are neither large nor clear, and little help is given to keep track of units and locations. This is very definitely not a book for beginners on the subject.

On the other hand, with some previous knowledge of the events and geography, it's a fascinating collection that illuminates the wider sweep of the campaign with insights and flashes not often seen (for instance, Oberstleutnant Friedrich of the 6th Fallschirmjägers describing how SS Panzertruppe were straggling away to the rear individually, then by groups, and were only stopped at gunpoint) as well as the general tone - one Oberstleutnant Ziegel seemed unable to end a sentence except with an exclamation mark.
The first six sections of the book cover reports and accounts from each of the six days, from the 7th to the 13th of June: each with a dozen or so reports, opening with that day's OKW War Diary and then collecting reports from corps down to regimental level. Following that, the eighth section has four views on the use of Panzers in the fighting (four different generals) and the last has nine pieces on "The Reasons for the Defeat", either directly or commenting on others' statements.
I wouldn't recommend this book for a casual read, but as a historical resource supporting a study into the events it's excellent; the ability to read recollections from different levels of command and identify the Clausewitzian 'friction of war' on both sides (as German defenders fumed as opportunities to counterattack were missed by higher command, even as they were puzzled by the Allies missing what seemed obvious opportunities) is not often found in such detail.
A point that screams through, and is articulated with frustration by at least one General, is that the Germans were fighting an Army battle against a combined-arms Allied force; the ground forces were fighting well, but naval fires and air attack had a crippling effect on the defenders' logistics and mobility. In general, the roving fighter-bombers paralyzed road movement by day, while the impact of the successful location (by radio direction finding and traffic analysis, though not acknowledged here) and destruction of Panzer Group West's HQ by air attack disrupted operations and planning for several crucial days.
This book does demand a comfort with military terminology and doctrine, and prior knowledge of the forces and equipment involved (and you'd be better off relying on your own maps than the reproductions in the paperback.) If you can get past that, and you want a detailed German view of the decisive week after D-Day, this book is well worth reading.
Score: Four and a half stars (only marked down for poor maps) provided you're a student of the period.

Sewell, NJ (PressExposure) March 18, 2012 -- Innovative technology available today, will give physicians and medical students a new tool in treating one of the most common, but deadly conditions hospitalized patients face. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a significant cause of morbidity in patients due to the great impact of these important organs on the rest of the body. Unfortunately, because the causes of AKI can be vast, the diagnosis is often elusive. Now, an application available on both iphone and android platforms, may be able to help students and doctors come to a faster and more complete diagnosis.
To educate health care professionals in this important matter, Beach-Rak Medicine LLC has developed its next installment of the Master Diagnostician Series: Acute Kidney Injury. What makes this program unique is that while many of the current apps about kidney diseases will publish guidelines only, this app gives insight into how a nephrologist actually makes a diagnosis. The first algorithmic smartphone program of its kind, Acute Kidney Injury takes the user through a series of questions aimed at distinguishing the many subtleties of the different AKI etiologies. These diagnoses are also separated into categories for more rapid access to the pertinent information.
"The goal of the MD Series apps is to help health care providers 'fine-tune' their knowledge and critically think about how they approach these common problems. They can be used as a point-of-care reference when encountering these types of patients," states Douglas F. Beach M.D., co-founder of Beach-Rak Medicine.
Understanding that medical students and residents often do not have alot of disposable income, as well as to increase exposure of their apps, Beach-Rak Medicine is releasing a free version of MD Series: Acute Kidney Injury for both iphone and android platforms. A free version of their first app: MD Series: Approach to Anemia in the Adult Patient is also available.

Would you like a few tips for how to make your guy commit? Do you feel like you never safe a first day because you by no means give the correct preliminary impression? Do you fret more than what to put on and what to say for hrs prior to the date even begins? If so, you're not alone. Most ladies look for to make that fantastic initial impression. So, if you want to bait him, hook him, and reel him in, here's a couple of pointers on how to make your man commit to you.
Ambivalence is when you want two various things and that desire pulls you in opposite instructions. For example you might have optimistic, yet also fatalistic thoughts about admitting you have a problem with consuming.
eating disorder means the extreme expression of food by man and lady. The the scrambler review means the behavior and mindset associated to eating. Consuming disorder includes compulsive overeating and anorexia nervosa.
Here's some thing I frequently eating disorder tips offer patients in my psychotherapy apply when they are transitioning from 1 way of living to an additional and don't know what to do.
As an aside note, you can also enter the information for your child and get detailed info about what he or she should be eating every day as nicely; nutritional and caloric needs for kids are various than adults.
Another software of journaling is keeping a food log. Food logs assist maintain you accountable for eating and stay on track. "Often ladies with consuming problems overestimate or underestimate what they are consuming. Meals journals help them to look back again at the end of the day and evaluate how they've carried out. It also assists with all-or-absolutely nothing considering, the state of mind of 'I messed up so I don't need to eat,' or 'I messed up so I can carry on to binge," Julie adds.
Lastly, distract yourself by living a full and passionate lifestyle. Don't conserve that nice gown for when you've "lost a few pounds". Wear makeup now – not when you're slimmer and don't save all your happy moments for your upcoming wedding ceremony. Reside lifestyle to the full now.
Apart from using diet plan tablets, most individuals found that this is the simplest way in their route in losing your weight. Rather, you can make use of a calorie calculator to keep track of the amount of energy you dispense in a working day. Then calculate your basal metabolic price or BMR, which is essentially the number of calories your body needs every working day. If you include each up, you will know if you are consuming much more than you should and if you keep at it, any hopes for dropping your excess weight should be quickly dashed.

Rethinking Expropriation Law I
Edited by: B. Hoops, E.J. Marais, H. Mostert, J.A.M.A. Sluysmans, L.C.A. Verstappen
This book is the first of a series in which experts engage critically with identified aspects of expropriation law. The internationally diverse group of contributing authors offer valuable insight into the treatment of public purpose/interest related issues as they are canvassed in jurisdictions around the world. Some of these issues include: the public purpose/interest requirement and the definition of the object of expropriation ** the role of public purpose/interest in distinguishing between expropriation and regulation of property ** public interest and the classification of expropriatory actions as administrative, statutory, or constructive ** the categorizing of the notions of public interest and public purpose ** the justifiability of expropriation without compensation ** the consequences of a change in purpose after expropriation has been effected ** whether an expropriation can be challenged on the basis that less invasive means were available for the state to realize the specific purpose ** whether the public interest could legitimately entail transfer of expropriated property to a party other than the state. *** Librarians: ebook available (Series: Property, Environment & Law / Vastgoed, Omgeving & Recht - Vol. 6) [Subject: Expropriation Law, Property Law, Comparative Law]

I'm wondering in what folder you are when you specify PWL file name for a ipwlf symbol? Cannot find any info on this in documentation.
If you specify a "relative" filename (i.e. one not beginning with /) then it will be resolved using spectre's include path. The include path can be setup via Setup->Simulation Files, and if not set, it will look in the netlist directory (which is the working directory for the simulator) - so probably not what you want.
That should work. You can't use UNIX env vars in the Include Path in ADE though (I've not re-tested this, but there's a CCR on that).

"Mom, I just remembered your singer, that you would listen to his music all the time. His name is Frank Sintara...Now i can tell you that i couldnt stand that music. but i listen to it anyway because of you. So, now that i listen to it, it really doesnt sound that bad. i guess because i was younger and into Michael Jackson music."
"I leave this candle lite in the place of my love for you today."
"Hey,,,mom...not on is today your birthday,it is also the very day that you went home to be with the LORD...i know it was much more for you to do...bur mommy i miss you so much and i missed sleeping next to you and being able to cry and tell you how im feeling. as i still get to tell you in my mind and my heart stays on you. it a piece of me missing without you. im pressing on and remembering just how much i love you and you love me you will always have a place in my heart mind and soul.. i think god that you no longer has to suffer the heart aches of this sinful world. i know you know that im standing alone among all of your children. mommy, if anything you taught me to be myself. i will forever love you for the morals and strength that i receive from you. I love you so much and its bring tears to my eyes missing you so much until my heart ache and knowing i cant pick up the phone and hear your voice. but mommy, just the other night i had a dream about you and robin, so im going to take that as you and him are together watching over me.

Job search
Welcome to this Futures workbook on finding work. It is split into several sections describing different techniques for finding work. You can dip in and out of the different sections; however it is not wise to rely on only one mechanism for finding work. It is a competitive market for final year students and new graduates and so you should try many alternate ways to find work.
Who Are the Poor?
In this assignment, we will perform a simple analysis of poor households in the United States, considering whether certain kinds of households are more likely to be poor and what sorts of households make up the largest proportion of the poor. Students will be looking at three characteristics that may be associated with poverty: race, age, and family type.

Cavitation on Ship Propellers
Summary: Cavitation is the transition of a fluid into vapour due to local reduction of pressure which is generated by high local flow velocities. The transition of a fluid into vapour also occurs during cooking of water by an increase of the local temperature. The term cavitation is generally reserved for conditions in which the temperature of the bulk fluid is not changed. Although cavitation can occur in many situations this course focuses on ship hydrodynamics and ship propellers. The course

Spirits and Mushrooms - Recipes for beef, pork and fish
The Spirits of Mushrooms
Mushrooms and wine are a classic pair, but mushrooms also have very happy flavor affinities with stronger spirits.
When serving sautéed mushrooms with meats, you can finish the sauté with a splash of brandy. Watch out for the possible flare of alcohol burning off. This can be either dangerous or marvelously exciting depending on whether you are prepared for it or not. Simmering for a few minutes will evaporate almost all of the alcohol. Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water so it evaporates more quickly. Brandy, which is made from grapes, adds both a little fruit and deep flavors. You can also try a splash of scotch whiskey. Whiskeys, especially the smokier single-malt types, are excellent with hearty mushrooms like shiitake, Velvet Pioppini™ and Maitake Frondosa™. Try that on your next steak. A dollop of heavy cream or a swirl of butter wouldn't hurt.
To accompany pork, try Calvados, French apple brandy. Calvados is made in the Normandy region, a famous apple growing area. If you want to buy American, Laird's Applejack has a fine pedigree, but don't use the cheap substitutes. You want apple brandy, not
For fish or chicken, any of the anise-flavored liqueurs provide a delicious and unusual pairing. Think tarragon. (Of course, if you don't like licorice, you might want to stay away.) Spirits in this category include French Pernod and pastis, Greek ouzo, and Italian Sambuca. The sweetness can be moderated with a little citrus juice or cream.
Steak with Maitake Frondosa™ and Scotch
For four steaks, your favorite, grilled the way you like it.
3 Tablespoons shallots, finely diced
3 Tablespoons butter or oil
6-8 ounces Maitake Frondosa™ mushrooms torn into pieces the size of your little finger
4 tablespoons Scotch
Salt and pepper
3 additional Tablespoons butter, cold
Sauté shallots in the first 3 Tablespoons of butter. Shallots scorch easily so keep heat to a medium flame. When shallots have softened add Maitake and stir and flip to move uncooked mushrooms down to the surface of the pan. When mushrooms have softened a little add the Scotch. Watch out for a flare-up if the rapidly evaporating alcohol meets the flame at the side of the pan. Simmer a minute or two longer, remove from heat and swirl in the remaining butter, a couple of pieces at a time. Serve immediately. This is the technique known as beurre monté, or "mounting" with butter. The trick is that pan shouldn't be too hot when you add the cold butter. You want the butter to melt without separating. It tastes just as good when separated, but the appearance and mouthfeel when properly mounted is worth a little practice, and you get to eat all of your "mistakes."
Pork Tenderloin with Brown Clamshell™ mushrooms and Calvados
Serves four
1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
2-3 tablespoons light vegetable oil – grapeseed is excellent
½ cup chopped leek
4 ounces Brown Clamshell™ mushrooms, separated into single stems
½ cup green apple, peeled and finely diced
3 Tablespoons butter
¼ cup Calvados
½ cup low-sodium stock
Three large leaves fresh sage, cut in fine slivers
Trim the fat and silverskin from the tenderloin, Cut on the diagonal and pound very lightly. Ideally you will have eight pieces, one large and one small for each person. Set aside.
Sauté the leek, apples and mushrooms all together in the butter over medium low heat. Cook until apples begin to soften. Add Calvados and raise heat to high. When the brandy has almost evaporated add the chicken stock and fresh sage. Simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside while you sauté the tenderloins.
Lightly season the pork tenderloin pieces with salt and pepper and dredge with flour, shaking off all excess. Sauté over medium heat in the vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes per side. Hold cooked pieces in a warm oven until all the pork is done, then plate and spoon the mushroom sauce on top. Garnish if desired with additional leaves of fresh sage.
Tilapia with Trumpet Royale™ Mushrooms and Pernod
Serves Four
1 ½ pounds of tilapia
8 ounces Trumpet Royale mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup sweet white onion, diced
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ cup fresh tomato, diced
¼ cup Pernod or other anise flavored liqueur
¼ cup dry white wine
3 Tablespoons meyer lemon juice
Smaller mushrooms may be sliced lengthwise, larger ones should be cut on the diagonal. Sauté Trumpet Royale™ and onions in olive oil over medium-low heat until mushrooms are almost cooked through, stirring frequently. Add diced tomato and cook three minutes more. Add Pernod and wine and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Finish with meyer lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. If meyer lemon is not available, substitute 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon of fresh orange juice. You can also eliminate the citrus and add 1/3 cup of heavy cream and some minced tarragon. The two preparations (citrus or cream) are distinctly different, and both are delicious. Keep mushrooms warm while cooking the fish.
Lightly salt and pepper the tilapia fillets. Brush top with olive oil and broil until the thickest part of the fish will flake with a fork. 8-12 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your broiler. This preparation is also excellent with salmon, true cod and petrale sole.
Reserve twelve large slices of mushroom as garnish. Top the fish with the tomato and mushroom mixture. Fan three slices of the reserved Trumpet Royale on top of each serving.

I originally posted this recipe for an Asparagus Quesadilla back in 2013. But it's truly one of my favorite things to fix myself for lunch so I decided it deserved some updated photos. I'm terrible about taking time out of my work day to eat lunch. I generally graze on whatever might be in the house but once asparagus season is in full swing I know my lunch game will be elevated.
I could eat asparagus every day of the year. Grilled or pan seared is my favorite way to fix it. Once your pan is hot from searing a few fresh spears it just makes sense to throw a tortilla in that same pan. My favorite combo is a garlic herb cheese spread with mozzarella and balsamic vinegar reduction on top. It's a great sweet and savory combo. But you could add other cheese like Swiss or goat. A few asparagus spears by themselves aren't very substantial but a tortilla and a little cheese makes this a complete meal. What's your favorite way to eat asparagus?
- 1 large tortilla (I used a spinach tortilla)
- 7-8 spears fresh asparagus, tough ends removed
- 1 T. olive oil, divided
- 2 T. garlic and herb cheese spread (like Boursin)
- 1/4 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Balsamic Vinegar reduction for topping
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 t. olive oil. Add asparagus spears and saute until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and turn heat to medium.
- While asparagus is cooking, spread the garlic and herb cheese on one half of the tortilla. Top with the cooked asparagus and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the asparagus.
- Fold quesadilla in half, place pan back on burner and grill first side of quesadilla until nicely browned... start checking after 3-4 minutes if it's ready to turn. Brush the remaining teaspoon of olive oil on the top half of the cooked quesadilla. Flip quesadilla and grill the second side.
- Remove from pan and slice with a knife. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar reduction.

Discussion in 'PSP - Games & Content' started by mrdrew_champloo, Nov 7, 2009.
Or do I have to update to something else before hand?
.... What version psp do you have? If you have an unhackable and you try happy bricking yourself. If 3000 no don't even try, if 2000 run pspident and figure out if hackable then do same steps as a 1000, if 1000 recovery flasher to 5.00 m33-6 and upgrade to 5.5 gen
I have a Phat.
I'm having trouble. I now have 5.03 OFW with ChickHEN. I want to get to Gen D2. What are the steps I need to take?
Well, you need to run chickHEN when in 5.03 OFW, and when that has enabled (you'll know when it has; but it'll probably take you about half an hour- it did for me!), you can then run the 5.50GEN-D installer. Then update to GEN-D2.
Ok. Gotcha. I did that. My firmware now says 5.03 ChickHEN R2. I'll take it this means its activated and now I can install 5.50 GEN D?
Never mind. I got it. Thanks for the help, everybody.

Acadia Centennial Science Community Working Group
An Affirmation of Shared Perspective
We are members of science-oriented organizations working together to advocate for science in, from and for Acadia National Park (ANP) as we join in the yearlong celebration of the park centennial in 2016. Each of our organizations is a partner in the Acadia centennial. In the centennial year, we will offer distinct programs on the role of science in the conservation of this extraordinary place. Together we will produce an Acadia Centennial Science Seminar Series to explore the legacy and future of science in Acadia.
Grounded in our ongoing collaboration with Acadia National Park, we have evolved a shared perspective that we affirm here:
The diverse ecosystems of Acadia National Park, surrounding communities, and the bounding waters of the Gulf of Maine—including boreal, temperate, subalpine, and marine systems—provide a distinct and perhaps unique environment in which to observe, document, and understand nature, inspire conservation, and inform science-based action on climate change and our rapidly changing environment.
This shared perspective is based on the convergence of many factors in the natural and human history of the Acadia region:
- Natural legacy. The geologic history of the Acadia region produced lands with compact elevation gradients rising from a complex seacoast and coast-to-inland gradients with many micro-climates. Naturally changing climates created within our region a broad and unique transition zone of the temperate and boreal biomes, home to diverse natural communities and plant and animal populations.
- Science and conservation history. Love of nature, place, and science compelled 19th century researchers to begin documentation of the natural history of Mount Desert Island. Their work helped inspire the conservation of ANP and started datasets on the evolving flora and fauna of our region. Leaders in ANP conservation, including founding superintendent George B. Dorr, envisioned the future importance of scientific inquiry for the region and contributed to founding of local scientific institutions.
- Human impacts on the environment. It is now broadly recognized and understood that use of hydrocarbons in modern societies drives changes in our climate system, creating one of our most significant conservation challenges. Human actions also cause a suite of other environmental changes—e.g., habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, and air and water pollution—that interact to increase the difficulty of preserving our natural and cultural resources unimpaired for future generations. Many organizations in our region work to understand and inform adaptation to climate change.
- Acadia National Park science research. Acadia National Park has been from its creation and remains today a living laboratory with a public mandate and staff capacity to observe, assess, and understand natural processes within the conserved domain. This mandate has endured for a century. More than 70 research projects take place every year within Acadia National Park, many exploring ecosystem dynamics relevant to climate change. The Acadia region has seen major investments in creating world-class scientific institutions, and citizen scientists are engaged in a broad suite of research initiatives in the region.
We believe that this convergence gives a special opportunity and responsibility to science in our region in our time. We aspire to orchestrate our growing scientific work in a broad framework, for the centennial year and the future. We will work in solidarity with all who study the challenge of climate change "in place" and embrace the promise of our specific place in building understanding of and resilience to the risks of climate change and other environmental changes.

This summer I continued on my journey into the world of anime seasons and built up a larger group of shows then my previous endeavors. In all I watched a total of seven shows, Watamote, Kinmoza, Silver Spoon, Stella Women's Academy High School Division C3 (which I will shorten as C3bu because that's a hell of a title), Servant x Service, Gatchaman Crowds, and Danganronpa: The Animation. There are some shows I passed on that ended up getting a lot of positive reception (The Eccentric Family, The World God Only Knows) but overall I think I chose pretty well, and will try my best to check out the shows I skipped some other time. But for now, I'm going to take a look at each show I watched and score the, though some may have more seasons on the way. Speaking of which, I did watch the second season of Attack On Titan but not much has changed quality-wise from last season, so I won't touch on it.
Oh yeah, this show also has a huge title so I'll be referring to it by it's more commonly used name, "Watamote".
Watamote is the story of Tomoko Kuroki, a girl who prior to starting high school was convinced that her time playing visual novels would provide her the social skills to be the most popular girl in school. The guys would want her, the girls would want to be her. A month of high school later she realizes she hasn't made a single friend, let alone participated in a normal conversation, as a result to her being completely unsociable. Each episode Tomoko desperately tries to fix this, and, spoiler, nearly always fails.
The show's primary focus is cringe humor, so for the most part you'll never find yourself laughing out loud, instead biting your fingers trying to contain the pure concentrated embarrassment and awkwardness being felt by the main character. It's not for everyone, I've experienced multiple accounts of people telling me they just "don't get" Watamote, but I enjoyed it. In addition, the cringe humor isn't the only thing Watamote has going for it. Tomoko doesn't exacly exibit a whole lot of likable traits. She's selfish, spiteful, and inconsiderate, all along with being completely oblivious to her faults, often blaming others. But at the same time, I always ended up feeling sympathy towards her. Why?
You see, Watamote is a very genuine and often very relatable look at social anxiety. To someone who's been through times similar to Tomoko, whether it be having trouble making friends, or being sociable, it can hit really hard. The way she acts as though she despises all her classmates, while secretly being envious of what they have. Spending the last night of her summer staring at the stars alone. Through all it's kinda mean-spirited cringe humor, there's a lot of heart in how it handles the serious subject matter. It makes you feel so bad for what should be such a flawed person, and Watamote does so without it feeling corny or forced. That along with it's great cringe humor results in a great show.
Kiniro Mosaic, commonly shortened as Kinmoza DAMN IT, you know what, from now on this is "Shortened Title Season" I mean this one isn't even that long of a title, I mean, are there any shows this season called by their full name?
But I digress. Kinmoza starts out strong. Despite being an adaptation of a 4-panel manga, the first episode is almost entirely devoted to a well paced, character driven, and absolutely adorable story of a Japanese girl named Shinobu becoming friends with a girl named Alice during a visit to England. Due to the language gap between the two the story is driven not so much by dialogue, but the interactions of the two girls. With no real sentences exchanged as you watch their friendship grow, and it's very well executed and touching. And then, just when I was sold on the show, the last 5 minutes reveal the ugly truth, as the now fluent-in-Japanese Alice moves to Japan years later to go through high-school with Shinobu and her friends.
That's right, it's another cute high school girls slice of life comedy. Once the massive wave of disappointment had finished washing over me, I still decided to stick with it. After all, with such an impressive start maybe it'll be a really good slice of life show, and the idea of an English girl being a character could add an interesting dynamic.
It wasn't, and it doesn't. It isn't terrible by any means, it's just painfully mundane and typical, there's nothing unique or interesting about the show whatsoever. Sure it's harmless, and it'll get a chuckle out of you once in a while, but the lack of anything standing out about it is such a disappointment when I consider the exceptional beginning.
Actually, there is one thing that one could argue makes it stand out. Engrish. Lots and lots of engrish. Yes, whenever characters supposed to have english as a first language speak english, hilarity ensues. So I guess I could recommend it if you enjoy laughing hilarious pronunciations and broken english. But the show itself is boringly average.
I will admit, I probably wouldn't have taken any interest in farming school slice of life show Silver Spoon if not for the fact that the author of the manga it's an adaptation of, Hiromu Arakawa, is also known for writing a little manga you may have heard of called Fullmetal Alchemist. And considering Fullmetal Alchemist and it's anime adaptation (the one that followed the manga at least) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are favorites of mine when it comes to manga and anime, I couldn't pass this new show up.
Silver Spoon introduces us to Hachiken Yugo, who's enrolled in Yezo Agricultural High School,for the sole reason of getting away from his parents, though he soon learns this new school may not be as easy to get through as he hoped, as he labors tirelessly learning about the ins and outs of farm work along with making new friends along the way.
No matter which way I look at it, Silver Spoon is an exceptional show. It's characters are all likable and interesting, as not only the main character develops and has conflicts to deal with, but a large portion of them. Hachiken is trying to find a purpose in life in addition to dealing with how little he thinks of himself, Mikage is dealing with being lead down a one track life when she has other dreams, Aikawa wants to be a veterinarian but isn't sure if he can deal with the concept of taking an animal's life, the list goes on and on. But despite so many of the characters having their lives and problems delved into it never feels too convoluted, or busy. In addition the main character's arc doesn't suffer as a result of focusing on the other characters, thanks to how all their conflicts intertwine with each other in different ways.
The show is also educational through all the information it gives on farming, animals, and so on (and since Arakawa actually grew up on a farm you know it's most likely all accurate) but the informative stuff never feels forced, or gets in the way of the story, as a matter of fact, it deepens the story. The things Hachiken (and the audience) learns is constantly used as symbols and metaphors for things going on in the story, always in really cool ways. It adds a whole new level of depth to the story and gives purpose to what makes this different than any other slice of life show.
All in all, at least by the end of it's first season, I couldn't find myself disliking anything about Silver Spoon. Likable characters with interesting conflicts all wrapped up in a brilliant use of it's topic and setting, left me wishing I didn't have to wait until winter to get a second season.
Well, that's all for this entry, stay tuned for Part 2 featuring my thoughts on Gatchaman Crowds, Danganronpa, and more!
