SEC Form N-6
Definition of 'SEC Form N-6'
A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that must be submitted by separate accounts that are unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts. SEC Form N-6 is designed to provide investors with information that will assist them in making a decision about investing in a variable life insurance contract.
Investopedia explains 'SEC Form N-6'
This form is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933.
Part A of this filing, the prospectus, must contain clearly written information about the investment that the average investor, who may not have a specialized background in finance or law, can understand. It should provide a balanced disclosure of the positive and negative aspects of variable life insurance contracts, including information about risks and benefits, fees, premiums, death benfits, contract values, surrenders, loans, lapse and reinstatement, taxes and legal proceedings. Part B provides additional information that may be of interest to some investors, such as financial statements and information about premiums, underwriters and loans. Finally, Part C contains information about directors, indemnification, fee representation and more. |

USS Aroostook, a 691-ton Unadilla class screw steam gunboat built at Kennebunk, Maine, was commissioned in February 1862. In early March she assisted the storm-disabled USS Vermont, suffering damage herself in the process. After repairs, Aroostook arrived at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where she participated in operations against Norfolk and, once that port had fallen, up the James River. She engaged Confederate forces on several occasions, among them the bombardment at Drewry's Bluff on 15 May. In September 1862, after the end of General McClellan's Peninsula Campaign, the gunboat served briefly with the Potomac Flotilla before being ordered to the Gulf of Mexico.
Aroostook joined the blockade of Mobile Bay, Alabama, in October 1862, and served off there for nearly a year, during which time she took part in the capture or destruction of several blockade running sailing vessels. Stationed off the Texas coast from November 1863, she took three more blockade runners and assisted in destroying another. Aroostook left the Gulf in September 1865, some months after the end of the Civil War, and was decommissioned at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Recommissioned in December 1866, Aroostook voyaged to the Far East by way of the Cape of Good Hope, arriving at Hong Kong in August 1867. As a unit of the Asiatic Squadron, she operated off Japan and on anti-piracy patrols along the China coast. USS Aroostook was decommissioned at Hong Kong in September 1869 and sold a month later.

X.Org 7.7 Release Candidate 1 Finally Emerges
Published on 16 April 2012 11:16 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
The X.Org 7.7 katamari is finally coming about following the recent launch of the X.Org Server 1.12.1 point release. X11R7.7 Release Candidate 1 was made available on Sunday night.
X.Org 7.6 katamari
(basically all of the independent X.Org drivers/libraries/modules and xorg-server tagged all together in one bundle) was in December of 2010. There were plans to do
the X.Org 7.7 katamari in March
with the X.Org Server 1.12 release in March, but now it's coming about one month later following the xorg-server 1.12.1 maintenance release.
Alan Coopersmith announced X11R7.7 Release Candidate 1 on
the mailing list
. "At this point, only some final bug fixes, documentation updates, and janitorial cleanups are expected between now and the final release of X11R7.7, including final releases of several modules for which release candidates are included in this set (including libX11 1.5.0 and xorg-docs 1.7.0)."
With X.Org being modularized and the various drivers generally being released at will on their own time-frame, major X.Org Server releases now making it out on time every six months (and point releases every few weeks), and lots of focus turning to Wayland, the X.Org "Katamari" releases have less priority and use than they did in the past.
There really isn't anything "new" about X.Org 7.7 but it's just pointing to all of the updated official X.Org modules since the 7.6 katamari in 2010. Many packages have been updated multiple times since the last katamari, while other packages like xf86-video-openchrome are stale.
This is also only official X.Org modules part of the katamari, so for example, xf86-video-nv is still part of the 7.7 package collection with xf86-video-nouveau having yet to do an official driver release. Additionally, for the key graphics drivers, the latest upstream versions generally only work on Linux "out of the box" due to Solaris and BSD lagging behind in KMS/DRI2/GEM/TTM support.
Among the many X.Org 7.7 packages are xf86-video-intel 2.18.0, xf86-video-ati 6.14.4, xorg-server 1.12.1, libXrandr 1.3.2, and libXi 1.6.0.
In more exciting X news, there's just about five months to go until
the annual X developer summit taking place in Franconia

Argh! Now I'm gloomy........
I work in Nashville and missed the event. Shame on me for not keeping up with the Ricochet meetups!
"What say you, Ricochet?" - DP
Dennis, if you want to understand better, there's a great book I think you should read: "Still the Best Hope". It's written by some chap - that, coincidentally, has the same name as you!
Joking aside, anyone who wishes to understand the Left (and the Right) better, should add it to their reading list.
Steve, very fine post, but I have a side question -- why do you write Terri Schiavo damaged the GOP brand?
"Many secular Jews and others fervently yearn for a good society. It is a yearning I share. The record shows, however, that with all its problems, a God-based society — as envisaged from Moses to Isaiah to Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin — is the best chance we have to actually make one"
--- Dennis Prager
....just thought I'd throw in a quote from this week's Ricochet podcast guest.
I'm a proud Prager groupie. And it's not a coincidence that many of his fans have found their way to Ricochet. · Sep 30 at 1:34pm |
Ditto RJ. And I think he would be an excellent guest on Peter, James, and Rob's podcast.
Katie, I think you're getting the better of me on this exchange, but if I can withdraw with only one point - I would argue that - only as far as articulating conservative values (with brevity, clarity, and on point real world examples), conservative talk show hosts are marginally better than 95% of politicians.
Nonsense. Do you think Laura would make Paul Ryan or Mitch Daniels or Marco Rubio or Haley Barbour sound inarticulate by comparison with her? · Aug 28 at 10:22am |
Not at all. I am just saying talk show hosts are the best at the whole conservative values spectrum. That's why they do what they do. Only handful of GOP politicians approach the skill someone like Dennis Prager, Laura Ingram, or James Lileks posses while speaking off the cuff. And Barbour, Ryan and Rubio are about it (as far as the exceptionally skilled go).
katievs: That was bad. Low grade, inarticulate. Laura sounded more serious, more knowledgeable, more capable than he did. · Aug 28 at 6:39am |
Bad? I disagree - a little, but I was hoping for much, much better (considering this was a friendly interview). Showcasing how much money he spent on education made me groan.
And Katie, Laura sounded more serious, knowledgeable, and capable, because she's a conservative talk show host. They're the best at articulating conservative values with clarity and brevity. Of course talk show hosts make it look easy - as does everyone who is at the apex of their field. As we all know, there are frustratingly few GOP politicians who can project knowledge with easy, friendly wit, and do it with clarity.
To take one (big) step farther from rail lines - what about bombing the actual extermination camps? I have often wondered about the morality of such a strike.
I vaguely recall reading that a few Jewish rabbis made just that appeal, although I may be mistaken.
Any thoughts, Claire? I am sure you (or another "Ricoteer" will set me straight).
Michael Cham: To Ricochet Management: I am grateful that Mike Murphy and David Brooks have been willing to muck it up with us at Ricochet. Debate is good among us conservatives, even the squishy New York Times writer and Machiavellian consultant types. Please have them on more often on the weekly podcast. I think that an extended debate can be very informative and potentially productive. And Peter, help them see the error of their ways! · Jul 11 at 2:06pm |
To humbly and strongly disagree with Michael, I do not wish to hear Mr. Murphy on another podcast. I will listen to Pat Cadell anyday (I love his semi-belligerant analysis); but I have had it with Murphy and his non-concealed disdain for conservatives that seem to embarrass him.
david foster: Americans increasingly spend 16-20 years of their lives in school settings in which conformity is expected and rewarded...often followed by jobs in which performance expectations are vague and mouthing of expected cliches is important for retention and success. This kind of experiences do not lead one to boldly challenge authority. · Jul 3 at 8:16am |
"We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
-C.S. Lewis
This makes me sad because my answer to the absurdities of government intrusion is to cheat the system. The law-abiding among us have become lawbreakers. When this becomes habitual, the rule of law is subverted. - Paules |
I became enlightened to this fact when listening to Dennis Prager. So true (and well written, Paules).
Was it C.S. Lewis (?) who said (paraphrased): that instead of a few big laws, we now have many little ones.
CJRun: This reminds me of Steven Hayward's column and the finality of the Declaration, as described by Coolidge. There is no "progress" beyond all men are created equal; that's final. · Jul 2 at 7:45am |
Thanks for linking that piece, CJRun. Those statements by Coolidge on the 150th anniversary of the Declaration are magnificent.
If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.
As to Dr. Rahe's question on who has the courage to say the things that need saying; Bachmann and Perry seem to be courageous enough. Perry is probably better at articulating American ideals with more clarity. Heck I dunno, I want to read what Dr. Rahe thinks.
Fascinating dialogue. Really interesting. But I am surprised no one has brought up humans being made in the image and likeness of God (i.e. with an eternal soul). All life having a soul, but humans are made for eternity. But perhaps this drifts from Peter's original post.
BTW, (a side note) a farmer recently told me of the use of a "Judas sheep" at a slaughterhouse. They will train a sheep to work a circuit at the plant, leading sheep from a holding pen to the the killing floor, jumping out at the last moment to circle back and repeat the process when needed.

Panelists: Susie Essman, Sandra Tsing Loh, Andy Kindler, Dave Navarro, Dr. Stan Katz
When writer-director-comic Sam Seder received an email saying Larry David had specifically requested him to tape a few Curb discussions he thought it might possibly be a joke. He's known Jeff Garlin for over fifteen years from comedy circles -- Garlin directs "The Thong," in which Larry wants to break up with his shrink after seeing him bend over in a thong at the beach -- but then they sent him a ticket so he got on a plane. ...
Panelists: Susie Essman, Sandra Tsing Loh, Alan Zweibel, Dave Navarro, Dr. Stan Katz
In "The Shrimp Incident" (which sounds like a Judy Blume book) Larry and Cheryl hash it out over how many places to dine in a night; Larry calls a friend a —cough- "Beloved Aunt" in public and is branded a 'wife beater' and most importantly how many shrimp ARE there in a Kung Pao shrimp container? Let's take a look at this "Shrimp Incident"...
Sure this episode of Curb contains the usual Larry misunderstandings that end up in arguments: Larry gets propositioned by a friend's wife; Larry is accused of being a self-loathing Jew; and Larry calls a man in a wheelchair a liar over a Cobb salad. But as the episode title tips off, the meat of this episode is Curb tackling the American television convention of 'The Halloween Episode.' It's all in "Trick or Treat"... read more
Panelists: Susie Essman, Sandra Tsing Loh, Alan Zweibel, Carol Leifer, Dr. Stan Katz
Richard Dreyfuss is heading to Weeds, Showtime announced Wednesday. read more
In the first seasons of production on Curb there was always more fear that a show would come up short instead of long, so directors would overshoot and regretfully cut scenes they'd grown to like. Frequent director Robert Weide said Larry David was always particularly unsentimental about trashing funny material in service of a tighter show, and remembers regularly removing entire storylines for time. David was so unattached to these kinds of details that he wouldn't even mention them in the show's DVD extras — a convention of modern TV viewing he finds sort of pointless.
Premiere Dates:-July 6, 2010 on TV Guide Network-September 30, 2001 on HBO
Notes on the Episode:
- Robert Weide directs. It's a Susie episode, so it's going to focus on Larry doing something perverted because that's when she gets to tee up and scream. Also, the actor who plays Thor, Deron McBee, is Malibu from the original American Gladiators. Malibu was the worst American Gladiator. Nitro and Gemini were real athletes. Malibu was clearly a working actor. I remember seeing Deron McBee in an episode of Divorce Court when I stayed home from school in third grade. I have a bizarre memory. ...

Salumi Artisan Cured Meats, Seattle
Yep - this was that Batali family sandwich shop where Bourdain did his show at a few years back (309 Third Avenue South, 621-8772). I made sure that I made a beeline straight for this place upon leaving the airport, especially since they are only open Tuesday to Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Indeed, I arrived just before 11 AM and there was already a line forming at this narrow little shop in the Pioneer Square area.
Fortunately, they came out with a plate of samples to tease us while we waited patiently in line inhaling the wonderful aroma that emanated from the place. I ended up grabbing a "muffo," which I assume was short for a muffeletta, featuring a variety of meat and cheese with some kind of an olive spread in ciabatta-like bread. The quality of ingredients made this thing a breeze to eat as I inhaled this thing in seconds.
But combining all of those different types of cured meat meant that it was harder to taste the qualities of each type on its own, so next time I'm going to try some of the more dedicated sandwiches. I guess I was hoping to taste more of the spiciness of the finnochiona that they handed out in this morning's samples, but its taste got lost amidst all of the other flavors going on in that muffo.

New Delhi, June 3 (IANS) Now that Kareena Kapoor's sleek size-zero look in her latest film "Tashan" failed to work wonders at the box-office, she has added a few pounds for a new look in her forthcoming "Main Aur Mrs Khanna".
A source close to Kareena has confirmed that she has put on weight for her new style for the film, which also stars brothers Salman and Sohail Khan in pivotal roles.
"'Tashan' had action scenes and required Kareena to be thin and to look fit. So she cut down on her weight. But her character in 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' is entirely different.
"Kareena plays a housewife and has kept her style keeping the character in mind," the source was quoted as saying.


text: One girl, one mind She grabs one costume And another and another. Anything to hide away, Safe from the world The cruel, cruel world. Take out the make-up Put it on and don't go on stage; She is afraid of the cruel, cruel words. The words 'Be Yourself' surrounded her She shed the costume and make-up, And that has made all the difference.

I've come here from nowhere
Across the unforgiving seas.
Drifting further and further
Its all becoming clear to me.
The violent winds are upon us, and I cant sleep.
Internal temperatures rising, and all the voices wont recede.
I finally found what
I was looking for.
A place where I can
be without remorse.
Because I am stranger who has found an even stranger war.
I finally found what
I was looking for
Here I come,
Come. (x7)
Here I come.
(With the nerve to kill)
I, sharpen the knife,
I looked down upon the pain.
For all my life,
A stranger I remain. (x3)

Schneier on SecurityA blog covering security and security technology. « Data Mining Software from IBM | Main | Common Passwords » May 31, 2006 UK Report on July 7th Terrorist BombingsAbout the Intelligence and Security Committee: Parliamentary oversight of SIS, GCHQ and the Security Service is provided by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), established by the Intelligence Services Act 1994. The Committee examines the expenditure, administration and policy of the three Agencies. It operates within the 'ring of secrecy' and has wide access to the range of Agency activities and to highly classified information. Its crossparty membership of nine from both Houses is appointed by the Prime Minister after consultation with the Leader of the Opposition. The Committee is required to report annually to the Prime Minister on its work. These reports, after any deletions of sensitive material, are placed before Parliament by the Prime Minister. The Committee also provides ad hoc reports to the Prime Minister from time to time. The Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee is the Right Honourable Paul Murphy. The Committee is supported by a Clerk and secretariat in the Cabinet Office and can employ an investigator to pursue specific matters in greater detail. They have released the "Intelligence and Security Committee Report into the London Terrorist Attacks on 7 July 2005," and the UK government has issued a response.

CommentsClive Robinson • May 31, 2006 12:07 PM @Bruce, Unfortunatly neither the report or the UK Gov response answer the questions of the families of those killed and injured. In fact the UK Gov when pressed for more clarity and detail went into a tail spin and instead of answering questions offered more financial compensation. Like many other Londoners it was pure chance that I was not on one of the tube trains. I was due to go to a job "up in town" and would have been traveling through one of the affected stations at that time, but due to a supplier problem the visit was canceled the night befor. So like the victims and their families I definatly want answers as well. geoff lane • May 31, 2006 12:54 PM Sadly the government is backing the trial of airport style scanners in a few rail stations. Not only are these totally inapproriate when you have to move thousands of people an hour (and the trains won't wait for you if you are stuck in some security scanner queue) the fact that train stations are not secure buildings doesn't seem to have occured to the politicans. You can scan all you like, but if someone can throw a bag of C4 over the fence to a suicide bomber who has passed through the scanner then there is not much point to the scanner.

Privacy may become an increasingly elusive privilege. another comment in Solove's BLOG • May 31, 2006 1:39 PM http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2006/... "Why did they do it?��? asks one major section of the government report. There are no clear answers—nothing in the report that explains why one morning these British men blew themselves up and killed dozens of commuters and injured hundreds more. According to the report, the men were serious about their religion—but then so are thousands of other members of the very same community. The men spoke out about politics at times but, of course, plenty of people do that. Some evidence suggests that a local gym the young men attended attracted people with radical views. A local bookstore was rumored to stock radical writings and DVDs. The men liked to go on camping trips—leading to speculation that the trips were training programs. The report finds little significance in any of these things. The men had visited Pakistan with their families. Again, though, many Britons make the very same trip. The report reaches some chilling conclusions. "The case demonstrates,��? it says, "the real difficulty for law enforcement agencies and local communities in identifying potential terrorists.��? There was "little in the backgrounds��? of the London bombers to "mark them out as particularly vulnerable to radicalization.��? On the whole, the men were "well integrated into British society.��? While they may have experienced moments of "instability��? there was nothing "extraordinary��? about their life circumstances. Posted by: Another comment in Solove's BLOG at John Lettice • May 31, 2006 1:50 PM Simply using the facts (somewhat limited) presented in the various reports, it strikes me that one could perfectly reasonably have come to an alternative conclusion, along these lines: 1. They were looking in the wrong places. I really don't think conclusions along these lines are wildly out of sync with what's in the reports. tinfoil • May 31, 2006 5:45 PM Curious how training exercises similar to real events were being conducted at the time of the attacks, just like on 9/11. RvnPhnx • June 1, 2006 11:46 AM @tinfoil In any case, the article does bring to mind an important possible problem (not the perceived one that article talks about--well beyond tinfoil hats there...): That security exercises could be exploited by terrorists. VQF • June 3, 2006 8:55 PM As of now, the first "Intelligence and Security Committee" hyperlink leads to www.schneier.com. There is an error on line 165 of this page's HTML source. The = after the href attribute is missing. Torquer • June 23, 2006 11:19 AM For as long as the government thinks it is above the law and start stigmatizing individuals whom don't agree with that, there will be the struggle against freedom and privacy. And are librarians going to be persecuted for following the law of checks and balances?: Subscribe to comments on this entry Leave a comment

Creating Opportunities for a Better Life.®
A mobile device is basically any handheld computer. It is designed to be extremely portable, often fitting in the palm of your hand or in your pocket. Some mobile devices are more powerful, and they allow you to do many of the same things you can do with a desktop or laptop computer. These include tablet computers, e-readers, and smartphones.
Like laptops, tablet computers are designed to be portable. However, they provide a very different computing experience. The most obvious difference is that tablet computers don't have keyboards or touchpads. Instead, the entire screen is touch-sensitive, allowing you to type on a virtual keyboard and use your finger as a mouse pointer.
Tablet computers are mostly designed for consuming media, and they are optimized for tasks like web browsing, watching videos, reading e-books, and playing games. For many people, a "regular" computer like a desktop or laptop is still needed in order to use some programs. However, the convenience of a tablet computer means that it may be ideal as a second computer. Below are some of the main features that you can expect with a tablet computer:

Plot & Details
Two low-level thieves must prove they're not guilty of murder after getting inadvertently drawn into a robbery scheme hatched by a notorious gangster. Yash (Sanjay Dutt) and Raj (Akshaye Khanna) have been friends since childhood. Ever since they were kids, Yash has been a bad influence on Raj. Now Raj has robbed a bank, and it's starting to look like the manager Zandulal (Paresh Rawal) is about to take the fall for his crime. Meanwhile, inept cop Arjun Singh (Anil Kapoor) struggles to deal with his volatile wife Kajal (Sushmita Sen), the daughter of the local police commissioner. As Arjun searches for ruthless diamond thief Marcos (Suniel Shetty) following a deadly robbery, Zandulal does his best to sniff out the thief who ruined his reputation. And he finally gets his man when Raj gets engaged to Kajal's sister Sanjana (Kangna Ranaut). When Zandulal realizes that Raj is the robber, he gives him one chance to return the money before turning him in. Desperate, Raj and Yash rob a local minister just moments before Marcos appears with the same goal. When Marcos fails to find the pastor's stash of stolen diamonds, he murders his target in cold blood. Now Raj and Yash about to take the fall for a murder they didn't commit. To make matters worse, Marcos is now gunning for them, too. Perhaps with a little help from Sanjana, however, Yash and Raj can find a clever way out of their deadly predicament.

Paladyne Systems, a provider of technology and services to the hedge fund Industry, has appointed Askin Leung as director of client services for the Asia Pacific region.
Paladyne has also increased its office space in Hong Kong to support its growing staff and Asia Pacific client base.
Leung brings knowledge of the hedge fund industry in Asia and will be responsible for all client service activities including implementation, training, and regional help desk support.

"Paladyne is currently seeing significant momentum in Asia particularly with Paladyne Portfolio Master, our unique trading and portfolio management system," says Sameer Shalaby, chief executive of Paladyne Systems. "We are very fortunate to have someone with Askin's experience lead our client services organisation as we continue to expand our presence in this region."

'The City': Olivia Palermo thinks Whitney Port's line is inconsistent
Every good reality show needs its villain, and Olivia Palermo is doing a wonderful job of filling those shoes in this clip from "The City," courtesy of our good friends at the Los Angeles Times' Show Tracker. Now that she's working for Elle.com instead of as an accessories editor, Olivia intends to blacklist Whitney Port's new line, Whitney Eve, from the site -- despite Erin Kaplan's suggestions.
Olivia says that the line is unfocused. "There's not like a theme, it's sort of all over the place," she says. We're sure that Olivia has a great eye for fashion, but when we saw the Whitney Eve line on the runway in the April 27 episode, it looked consistent to us! Plus, there's no way that Olivia knows better than Kelly Cutrone.
Whitney may get a break from Elle.com after all, though. Later on in the episode, Whitney learns that Elle Magazine nominated her to be included in another site's feature on emerging designers. "I wonder if Olivia has anything to do with it? That's super nice of her," Whitney gushes. We're pretty sure that it wasn't Olivia's doing, though. This one has Erin written all over it.
"The only issue now is that you owe Olivia a favor," Whitney's friend Roxy Olin says. We're sure Olivia will be happy to collect -- whether she had anything to do with Whitney's big break or not.

'The City's Olivia Palermo and Whitney Port: It's going to get ugly
'The Hills': Spencer Pratt finds a whole new level of crazy
Photo credit: MTV
Olivia is the #1 prime example of "***** face"
She just dosent want to feature it on Elle.com because she is jealous of whitney..flat out a jealous *****...I loved Whitneys line..and hey im the customer so...
I wish someone would give that heinous ***** a rude awakening... too bad that industry is based on who you know rather than what you do. The average American who does not watch 'The City' knows Whitney Port's name, not Olivia's. She's so ridiculous and delusional to think anyone cares about her. She makes me want to NOT watch the show.
Olivia is Jill Zarin's mini-me. Sad to see yet another low-talent, jealous girl being an oxygen thief. Good thing she has parental money behind her.
Olivia is Jill Zarin's mini-me. Sad to see yet another low-talent, jealous girl being an oxygen thief. Good thing she has parental money behind her.
Olivia is stunning, nobody can deny that.
I'm a "The City" fan but Whitney on her own... snoozefest. Olivia keeps the show interesting.
Olivia is such a little *****! She is so jealous of Whitney that she is willing to do anything to bring Whitney down. I can't wait for Whitney to tell her off and I can't wait for the Elle boss (forgot his name) to yell at her. Daddy's money can only get you so far Olivia and you clearly have issues.
I do NOT understand why Elle employs Olivia! There is so much talent and competition out there, why do they put up with her? She is laughably pitiful!
Hopefully Joe at Elle is watching this. If you have any moral integrity you will put Erin out of her misery and fire Olivia. It is clear that she is toxic to Elle. I question why Joe still keeps her on. Do you want fame that bad Joe? How can he turn a blind eye to Olivia's attitude and allow Erin to be punished on a daily basis. Tsk tsk Joe. Olivia does not belong there and you know it!
i think olivia should be fired, but if she does the show would lose it's spark.

Hot answers tagged mousse
The cause is that the mousse dries out on the surface. It builds a skin of dehydrated mousse. It happens with most cremes, not only your yolk foam.
To prevent it, put plastic wrap on the mousse. Don't span it over the bowl, press it on the surface itself, without leaving air between the mousse and wrap. Your mousse will stay soft. This also works for ...
Raw eggs are actually a lot safer than said to be believed, especially in recipes such as this one. Rocky ate raw eggs all the time! haha So please feel free to make the mousse and eat it too! Although cooking them almost always kills bacteria if they reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The most dangerous part about using eggs is something that many of us were ...
In the referenced mousse recipes (there is more than one in that dessert), the vast majority of the foaminess will come from the whipped cream.
You need to ensure that your cream is beaten properly to maximize foaminess, that is air volume:
Chill your working equipment, including the bowl, whisk, and of course the cream itself
If whipping by hand, use a ...
There are several major types of mousse, made from different bases, and with different flavor elements.
Depending on which one you are using, they may have varying requirements. As MandoMando mentions in the comments, assuming you are using a mousse based on whipped cream or whipped egg whites or a freezer-stable thickener (neither gelatin, agar agar, nor ...
The goal is to melt the outermost little bit and let the ring mold slide off. Make sure they have had plenty of time to set up before unmolding.
The torch will work, although I would use a towel soaked in very very hot water, then squeezed dryish—just wrap it around the mold for ten or twenty seconds. This maybe gentler than the torch, and less ...
I've never tried the iSi gourmet whip+.
It sounds very novel and like a bit of a gimmicky way to cook which is never a bad thing, especially if you can make your friends say, "wow!"
But the real trick to making mousse is beating air into the egg whites. So you gotta be confident the gourmet whip works, otherwise don't stick with it. I would just use a ...
First of all, it is extremely rare for the yolk of an egg to become contaminated if the egg is reasonably fresh. Contamination only tends to occur when the egg is quite old and the yolk membrane weakens. (Source)
Now, that said, egg yolks begin to set at a temperature of 62° C (144° F), and salmonella can be killed at temperatures as low as 59° C (138° F), ...
I have made plenty of mousse(s) over the years, and have never seen anyone get sick. I have, however, never used anything but store bought eggs.
There is always a risk of salmonella due to raw eggs. Using pasteurized eggs is a pain in the ass, because it takes forever to incorporate air, and the retention can be awful.
If you are that concerned, heat a ...
The egg yolks provide fat and act as emulsifier for the ingredients in the mousse, helping things blend well. There are fats and emulsifiers in chocolate, so you can get away without the yolks, just replace them by weight with cream and chocolate. The whites are a bit harder.
I have tried using the pasteurized egg whites that come in cartons. They don't ...
An egg is such an amazing little thing that it doesn't really have any direct substitutes. To get the lightest eggless mouse possible you'll have to stick to heavy cream, sugar, and chocolate.
Gently melt 3.5 oz. of dark chocolate over low heat. While that melts, whip together 5 oz. of heavy cream and 1 oz. of sugar until it's foamy. When the chocolate is ...
It could just be that it wasn't mixed thoroughly - little droplets of dissolved gelatin intermingled with the cool whip would certainly give you a grainy texture. Whisking thoroughly, or even using a hand mixer, could avoid some of this.
But failing that, it's possible that it's simply prone to separation. Cool whip is a sort of fake cream, emulsified fats ...
About two years ago I read about the "ultimate chocolate mousse" from Heston Blumenthal. Interestingly, the recipe only calls for two ingredients: bittersweet chocolate and water. Sugar can be added, but it is optional. It is all in the technique.
You use an approach that is similar to tempering chocolate and then whip.
Place a mixing bowl over a bowl ...
If you are able to get hold of it, I have used vegetarian gelatin substitute in the past, and found it to be fine. I'm in the UK, and most supermarkets stock something like Dr. Oetker Vege-Gel or their own brand (often called vetetarian gel, rather than gelatin(e), to avoid confusion).
If you are looking for an agar conversion, Joy of Baking suggests that a ...
Gelatine has nothing to do with a mousse. That means it's no problem to find a recipe without ;) .
I'm doing Mousse au Chocolat like that:
melt 200-250gr (more is better for stability) of chocolate (70%+ cacao) in a baine-marie
whip 400gr of cream
whip one egg yolk in a baine-marie until fluffy *
mix the chocolate into the egg yolk
carefully fold the ...
If you are insistent upon substituting something for the cream, you are probably going to need to experiment with adding some soy lecithin (to make sure that the substitute fats don't separate), maybe some cold-soluble gelatin too for added stabilization (regular gelatin that has been bloomed and added when the mixture is hot might also work), and possibly a ...
I wouldn't make the layers fully in the freezer. It will be hard to seal up and may dry out. Also, frozen layers are easier to work with. The freezer will dry out unsealed cake extremely fast.
I'd bake all the cake, trim and level them, wrap tightly and freeze on Thursday. Make the sauces and creams on Friday and put them in the fridge. Assemble all on ...
The risk of salmonella comes from the outside of a fresh egg. Washing your eggs nearly negates the risk of contracting anything serious. It takes a lot of salmonella to overwhelm an adult immune system.
However, if I was being completely cautious, I wouldn't feed an infant raw animal products. The risk of infection is higher and more serious for a baby.

My ode to Bruce Bogartzs' duck breast got us a last-minute good table last night for New Year's eve! I told you poetry was useful!
Ode to the Duck Breast at Rouxbarb
With thanks to Bruce Bogartz
My butter knife slices through the duck breast,
and my French friend weeps,
"Better than Paris! Who knew
one could find this délice in Knoxville!"
Even the vegetarians are cooing
and sighing, tomato jam here,
pimento popovers across the table.
"Like piñatas for the mouth,
true amuse-bouches," I say.
I say! Jirome is amused by
barbeque sauce on the duck.
"Brilliant!" "Witty!" and he's not
raving about a Broadway show,
but about this razzle-dazzle play
for the tastebuds.
And the mouth is happier than at rest,
in concert with eyes that feast
on a pinwheel of slices, nose that insists
this is a Southern affair, tongue that
weighs a morsel of duck breast for
a fractional split second
before downing
the heavenly
Cheers and Happy New Year! Love, Marilyn

iPod becomes a fashion icon, Fendi debuts $1,500 iPod bag
"Forget the $200 iPod bag from Gucci; it's for cheapskates.
The ultimate iPod accessory is Fendi's Juke Box, a $1,500 carrying case for transporting multiple iPods.
The bag, unveiled by the Italian fashion house at a catwalk show in Milan, is a rectangular gilded purse about the size of a bread bin. It is lined with multicolored cloth and incorporates a pocket for holding up to a dozen iPods
'It's a hot gadget right now, and these designers don't want to miss the boat,' said Janet Ozzard, executive editor of Style.com, the online home of Vogue and W."

The worst thing of all is that it offers no protection because of the way the ipods are stacked on each other.

it doesnt even have individual pockets for each iPod!
how can he say it was designed for iPods? this is so stupid.

Ha! Remember an earlier thread about Lagerfeld? He stated that he had 40 iPods, and all the ipodlounge readers deduced that "40 ipods" was mistranslated from "40 gig" iPod. Well, he does have 40 iPods! Ha! What an idiot. 40 ipods! Why?

it's a nice case.. my single ipod mini would rest comfortably in the net… i could put all 40 of my rolex watches to fill up the empty space around the mini… uhm..i hope i don't get spotted and jacked for my loot.. or what the heck, i'll just go out and buy however many ipods i need to fill the case up right, cheers lagerfeld!

Are these people retarded or what?!?
Give us all a break.
I don't care how much money you have - I mean, I thought the $200 Gucci case was stupid and a waste of money, which of course, it was, but if you're spending $1500 on a CASE, you are the stupidest person on the planet.
Oh, and uh, to anybody who buys that case, after you're done buying it, come over here, my sister found a rare hair from Conan O'Brien's butt in the halls of NBC that I had matted and framed - it's only $800!
Posted by Z on May 12, 2004 at 11:25 PM (PST)
So I see that Karl actually does own 40 Ipods. LOL, unbelievable. 40 Ipods, eh? Why would ANYBODY need 40 Ipods?!? Why would anybody need 10??? Just rip and encode everything you have and then replace the music you're tired of with the new stuff. But how quickly could someone bore of 10,000 songs? It would take you forever to listen to even a quarter of that.
He has 60,000 CD's. Good grief. That is so stupid. No human would live long enough to listen to it all. Don't believe me? Well let's see… 60,000 CD's multiplied by an average of 10 songs per CD is 600,000 songs. If he listened to ten NEW songs/one NEW album each day of the year, without ever taking a day off from it (which would never happen) it would take him just over 164 years to listen to it all.
Dumb? Yes.
Talk about greed taken to a nauseating level. And no, I'm not jealous, I'm disgusted.

After about a week GEICO came in and said that they were only going to cover a portion of the damage, and the rest could not have been a part of the accident that ocurred. I asked the police officer to amend the report to state the road conditions and he told me that was impossible, that I was the victim and GEICO should pay. I then contacted an attorney who suggested that I have the matter subrogated.
I just had my insurance comany involved in the last week to subrogate damages. Now GEICO moves in and says they are taking away my rental car that tey had provided as it should only have taken a week to repair the car, and they are trying to stick me with the rental bill for 20 days or their equivalent of $1000. Enterprise informed me that they had just received the email that my rental had ended, no written notice, no copy, no questions. The representative told me he was going to have the car reported stolen in a couple of days (can GEICO do this?!).
I am sending the original damages check back to them certified, and hopefully my insurance company will be able to sue them. I have missed time from work over a very cut and dry accident that should have been solved the first week it was brought in. I originally dealt with Tanya Wilkins my adjuster, and escalated it to a claims supervisor Nicole Smith, and then got the Better Business Bureau involved as well which finally involved the vice president Michael White.
I would never go with GEICO as my insurance company, and would definitely not reccommend them to anyone, as it appears they have lack of claims paying ability even though they have an A++ rating, I don't see how they will stay in business once I report they don't pay the claim to the department of motor vehicles and their insured loses his license until they pay.

Search TipsThe car by the way was a saturn L200, and the other victim had a green toyota, and just took the claim check that Geico offered them. There was substantial damages under the bumper cover of the L200, and GEICO was saying it was impossible from this incident, even though their insured was going over 45 and too fast for conditions according to the ticket he received, as Florida road base is very slippery when wet.
The police officer would not update the report to include the weather and road conditions at the time. I have missed substantial time from work and am a commissioned sales rep for another insurance company, and have suffered enough.

Please stop and think
AUTHOR: David - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, April 08, 2006
Please think about what you are doing.
GEICO has over 7 million policy holders and you are going to single handedly sink the company, make them drop all policy holders and fire all there employees?
Think about all the people before you do that.
Seriously, I have never heard of someone's license being suspended because their insurance company doesn't agree to pay what you think you should receive.
If you keep a vehicle when you were told to turn it in, I think it would be considered stealing. It's not your vehicle.
Give us some numbers and tell us what was wrong with your vehicle. How much was GEICO willing to pay? How fast was the insured going? What was the estimate of the damages and the year make and model of your vehicle?
