Holiday Gift Ideas For the Food Obsessed
is a cute set of pencils which would make nice stocking stuffers. It is a set of 6 pencils with a different cooking term defined on each one.
Perfect timing meatn3!
Right after Halloween I start focusing on the holiday food gifts.They include spices and teas from World Spice Merchants http://www.worldspice.com/
Vanilla beans from www.Saffron.com they sell bulk beans, saffron & dried mushroom
A variety of products from Apricot King
http://www.backtotheroots.com/ home mushroom kit, works very well
Popcorn seeds from Rancho Gordo
Rounding out the gift giving with our cookies, teabread and usual holiday baking.
I'd love to find a valued source for Pates de Fruits
These aren't my choices any longer, but, in past, a whole side of smoked salmon or Kobe beef have been hits. After this phase, I'd give boutique meats flown in from the West--caribou, buffalo, or other farmed boutiques--alligator, kangaroo etc Much cheaper are packages of boutique meat sausages--I purchased from amazon.com Great as gifts Cocktail parties Appetizers etc Generate great conversation piece Tasty on good black bread w/German mustard Maybe some cheese (I don't favor this) My favorite suggestion of all the ones on this thread is to give something homemade that's special Oh, not, not choc-chip cookies again I've done Jams Jellies Homemade bread Homemade cheese Holiday cake (had family recipe from mother-in-law) etcThings I never did eg Homemade candies
What's with all the storebought stuff? My wife just put up a dozen or so jars of her (justifiably) famous whole berry cranberry sauce, made with wild cranberries we foraged on Cape Cod, plus oranges, nuts, raisins, and who knows what else she snuck in when I wasn't looking. Those will grace quite a few of our friends' Thanksgiving tables.
re: BobB
Sounds luscious! I made 72 jars of various fig preserves this summer, so I'll use a few ( :-D )
for gifts too.There are dozens of ideas for home made gift giving on Homecooking. So I thought it would be helpful to have a thread for really unique/wonderful ideas that are more widely available.
The dried fruit from www.apricotking.com is to the likes of Harry&David as croissants are to Wonder Bread. AK doesn't do a lot of fancy gift combos so the baskets and bows are DIY.
The jumbo dried Blenheim slip-pit apricots have a unique, amaretto-ish finish because they have been dried before the pit is removed. Even better are the sometimes-available ones with the pits still in them. I also love the dried cherries and dried Bartlett pears. -
I've been thinking of doing the Reuben kit from Zingerman's for mr. RNR, but am not sure how to properly time shipping, and then what about storage? We live in an apt so there's no back porch or whatever I could keep it on to keep it out of the way but still cold. Has anyone done it? Also wondering how long it would keep as fresh. I mean, I'd practically have to order it for overnight shipping to arrive Xmas eve and then stay home and wait for the delivery. Too much trouble.
re: meatn3
Anything from Paulina's Meat Market in Chicago's Germantown (except headcheese).
I'll start the thread off with this snazzy molecular cuisine starter kit. It has 50 individually proportioned packets of "chemicals" and a recipe DVD to get you started!

Title: Assessment of Top Down and Bottom Up Controls on Fire Regimes and Vegetation Abundance and Distribution Patterns in the Southwestern Texas Borderlands: A Hierarchical Approach
Project Proposal Abstract: Managers of National Parks and other protected areas require reference conditions on vegetation patterns that are sustainable under regional disturbance regimes. In southwestern Texas and adjacent borderlands, interactions among climate, fire, and vegetation composition and structure must be understood in order to assist management decisions about the use of fire to maintain or restore sustainable vegetation patterns. We propose to investigate top down (climate) and bottom up (species composition, topography, environment, and human activity) controls on fire regimes in Big Bend National Park, the Davis Mountains, and the Maderas del Carmens Protected Area. Local-, landscape-, and regional-scale fire and vegetation dynamics will be derived from data on historical climates, fire regimes, forest structure, and species composition. This information will be used to implement fire and vegetation management practices and to predict effects of recent changes in climate and fire on ecosystem structure and function.

Bake Plates
Bake plate processing has increased in popularity in the past few decades. Previously, the most common technique for film drying and curing was baking in a convection oven. Bake plates offer several advantages in the form of increased throughput, increased uniformity and reproducibility, and decreased particle contamination. In a typical baking process, the substrate is placed into contact with a heated surface of known temperature. The substrate quickly rises to a peak temperature slightly lower than the bake plate surface temperature. Drying and curing steps generally take 60-90 seconds to complete. In contrast, traditional oven processes taking 30 minutes or more. Uniformity of baking across the substrate with a well-designed bake plate is ensured because the substrate is placed in intimate contact with a surface of known constant temperature and thus heats at a consistent rate that is dependent only upon the bake style selected and the thermal conductivity of the substrate. Ultraprecise uniformities are attained through the combined effect of thermal conductivity and reflected radiant heat from the exhaust hood baffle.
Although temperature uniformity is the primary advantage for precision bake plates, they are also able to virtually eliminate skinning effects for thick-film applications. The skin effect is often observed when baking from the "outside in" and is a common issue related to conventional oven baking. With a precisely uniform baking process, the film is baked consistently from the bottom up, thus preventing the formation of the skin over the surface. Use of a bake plate makes it possible to increase temperatures and precisely adjust bake temperature ramp without blistering or cracking in the film. Brewer Science® Cee® bake plates also have the unique advantage of four separate bake methods that are available nowhere else on the market. These methods include programmable proximity lift pins, N2-gas proximity, soft contact, and hard contact bakes. These methods can be programmed to work in any sequence or combination for up to 9,999.9 seconds per step and up to 100 steps per bake recipe. These methods are essential in further refining and optimizing the baking process. For many baking processes, this feature allows for faster ramping and can be used to emulate several bake plate temperatures simultaneously. The Brewer Science® Cee® line of high-uniformity bake plates bring numerous capabilities in a compact footprint designed for a lab-scale environment.

Hollywood Scrambles to Cash in on Petraeus scandal
IndiaTimes |
November 17, 2012, 10:03 am IST
LOS ANGELES: Writers with a script about former four-star general David Petraeus' sex scandal can do lunch with anyone in Hollywood.
It's unclear if any of the major players — Petraeus or his lover, biographer Paula Broadwell — will sell rights to their affair and give moviemakers the inside story, say agents. "You can do a story ripped from headlines, but that might make studios nervous, particularly if they want to dramatize and portray personal lives," said entertainment lawyer Jay Cooper, quipping a film should be dubbed "General Strangelove."
A made-for-TV movie would be the fastest route to the consumer and could hit the small screen in as quickly as a year. "This scandal is shaping up to have a lot of elements that Hollywood and the public look for. Cover ups, conspiracies, the CIA, high-level political officials, affairs," said Hollywood producer Chris Armstrong.

Orlando Commissioners Approve Urban Chicken Plan
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The Orlando City Commission has agreed to a test program that will allow residents to keep pet chickens.
The pilot project approved Monday will allow the so-called urban chickens at 25 homes in three of Orlando's six districts.
The Orlando Sentinel reports chickens are allowed in 11 Florida cities, including Miami, St. Petersburg and Key West.
Commissioner Patty Sheehan says she and about a dozen others have already signed up to keep up to three hens. Roosters are not allowed. She says it's part of a trend that encourages people to grow their own food.
Chicken owners in Orlando will have to follow rules, such as keeping them in covered coops inside a fenced pen. Applicants will have to attend a seminar on how to care for chickens.

Better Students Ask More Questions.
How do you say "see" in present progressive?
Topic: Grammar
How do you say "see" in present progressive?
1 Answer | add yours
The verb "to see" written in present progressive would be some form of the verb be + seeing. For example: "is seeing" "am seeing" or "are seeing."
A progressive verb shows an ongoing action. This action is represented in the ing.
The verb in its infinitive form is "to see." This means the verb is not conjugated. To put the verb in the present progressive, you will change "see" to "seeing" and add a form of the verb "to be." What the verb ends up as depends on the subject, or who is doing the seeing.
For example, all of these sentences use the verb "to see" in the present progressive.
John is seeing stars.
I am seeing them.
We are seeing stars.
The helping verb is the form of the verb "to be," in this case am, is, and are.

The Pension Vergara is perched above a picturesque Santa Cruz street lined with restaurants and tourist shops. Located on the second floor of a historic building, it's steeped in Sevillian atmosphere, from its tiled staircase (no elevator) to its light-and-plant-filled patio. Accommodations and amenities are admittedly simple, but hey, so are the rates!
The Vergara's 11 cheery rooms are decorated with wrought iron bed frames, ceramic flower pots, decorative tiling and framed prints of Seville. Amenities, on the other hand, are quite simple: There are no amenities except free Wi-Fi. Rooms along calle Ximenez de Enciso have small balconies, but light sleepers should note that rooms in back are quieter.
All bathrooms are shared and decorated in the same pretty style as the rooms, with colorful tiles, brick walls and spotless white sinks.
Note that the pension is situated on top of a tourist shop and easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The stairs are also quite steep, and there is no elevator.

Zombie Sandals for an early Halloween scare
by edwin
If you have anyone living under the same roof as you who are weak of heart, then might we suggest you give the Zombie Sandals a miss? After all, wearing this might actually win you a spot on Super 8′s cast if they ever need to make a sequel to their zombie flick. This pair of sandals come with realistically printed zombie toes, and it does seem as though Frankenstein has been resurrected, or the Incredible Hulk has had a particularly bad day at the office, getting all beat up. These sandals could be an early Halloween purchase, don't you think so?

James Bond Actors
Bond—James Bond—is a pop culture icon who was born out of Ian Fleming's spy novels and introduced to movie fans in 1962 with the release of the first 007 film, Dr. No. Sean Connery, the first actor to play James Bond, embodied the role of the be-tuxed international spy who thwarts international baddies in service to Her Majesty. Connery starred in seven Bond films and passed the keys to Bond's Aston Martin to Australian actor/model George Lazenby (who played Bond in only one film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service) followed by other actors who played the role including Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

Jet's Pizza Republica ready for takeoff
Jet, which also owns Nine75, at 975 Lincoln, may get another restaurant up and running next month, too. When I stopped by "the effortlessly hip" Jet Hotel (that's from the website, too) at 1612 Wazee Street yesterday, an employee there said they've targeted May 15 for the opening of XO, the Asian noodle bowl/salad restaurant they've built onto the hotel. That project, too, has encountered some delays, but it looks like the end -- or, rather, the beginning -- is in sight.

Inspired, hip, vibrant
Special because … Four millennia of history Melting pot of cultures and cuisines Ancient traditions, modern vibe
At the threshold of three continents and two seas – blessed with an extraordinary past, uncommon spiritual diversity, and some of the world's most exotic beaches – Israel is fast becoming a popular (and awe-inspiring) wedding and honeymoon destination for savvy couples.
The Place to Stay (Yesterday & Today!) Ports beloved in antiquity by traders, pilgrims, explorers. Deserts traversed by Bedouin tribes and merchants in camel caravans. Landscapes decorated with the domed tombs of sheikhs, silent monasteries, windswept castles of crusaders, and centuries-old synagogues. This country's been a hip destination for centuries!
Ready for a unique alternative to a formal wedding at home or traditional honeymoon? Here you go: Israel is small (just 290 miles long and 85 miles wide), richly surrounded (it lies at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, bordered by ancient neighbors – Egypt on the west, Syria and Jordan on the east, and Lebanon to the north), and punctuated with cosmopolitan city resorts and intimate rural retreats.
Choose a five-star hotel in Jerusalem that overlooks the Old City, a trendy resort along the shores of the Med in Tel-Aviv, or a private guesthouse in the country (Tsimers in Hebrew) – from rustic to chic.
Café Society & More It's a "café life" – with sidewalk establishments in every city and town. Sit for hours lovingly gazing at each other over Israeli-favorite Café Affuch [upside-down coffee], a super-yummy cappuccino-latte combo.
While the award-winning evening cuisine of renowned restaurants, such as Jerusalem's (classic European and kosher) Gabriel on Shlomtzion HaMalka Street or nearby Canela (Israeli-Mediterranean fusion), is not to be missed, don't forget that Israelis love to eat at all hours. And their favorite nosh? Falafel, of course! Where to find it? Nearly everywhere.
Things to See & DoBy the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea – the beach is divine: The season on the Mediterranean coast begins in April and ends in October. Surf [or learn to surf!] at Tel Aviv or Haifa. Want more time beachside? Lake Kineret, the Red Sea, and Dead Sea go all year long. Plus, on Kineret you can water-ski and parachute surf. And the Red's Eilat [the base of King Solomon's fleet in antiquity] boasts the only coral reef in Israel: Coral Beach Nature Reserve. Adored by diving clubs the world-over, enjoy scuba of snorkeling here.
Shopping, shopping everywhere – markets, boutiques, galleries . . . unusual all. Choose beautiful blue-and-white Armenian pottery. Olive wood and mother-of-pearl Bible covers, boxes, and broaches are reminders of fine craftsmanship passed from generation to generation. Mezuzahs are the perfect new home together [or housewarming] present. The mineral rich waters of the Dead Sea make your skin and hair feel silky-smooth … and yes, it's bottled, so take some home!
Cheers to you – wine for 3,000 years has been part of the celebration of Jewish holidays and the Sabbath. And in 2008, Wine Spectator first declared that "Israel's wines are world class." There are more than 200 wineries across the country – tiny, small, massive – producing red, white, and sparkling. Pay a visit to toast your new life together!
Favorite PlacesIsrael Museum (Jerusalem) – Shrine of the Book houses the legendary Dead Sea Scrolls. Billy Rose Art Garden is one of the finest outdoor sculpture settings of the 20th century with works by modern masters including Lipchitz, Moore, and Picasso.
White City (Tel Aviv) – This enclave of Bauhaus architecture – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – lies at the city's center and boasts more than 5,000 Modernist-style buildings. Wander to your heart's content; after reflect on its beauty at a seaside café.
Dead Sea (Jordan Rift Valley) – The world's first health "resort" [beloved by Herod the Great!] marks Earth's lowest point. Super-high salinity makes it impossible for flora or fauna to flourish, but keeps you buoyant. Float … then coat yourself in therapeutic mud.

Join SI.com's James Quintong in a discussion of some of the latest news in football, baseball and other sports and how it relates to fantasy teams and leagues.
Hello, goodbye
While my colleague Jason Grey mentions that it could be a less-than-stellar September roster expansion period because plenty of the good rookies are already up, a lot of teams are now getting some boosts from injured stars returning to the lineup. It started with Chase Utley coming back Monday after missing just a month with a broken hand. He had a homer in his first game back, so he's starting to get himself back in form. Tadahito Iguchi, who played well in Utley's place, loses a lot of value on the bench, but he did go deep on Monday, almost as a last hurrah. Alfonso Soriano is also back in the lineup after missing just over three weeks with a quad injury. While he went hitless in his return on Tuesday, you have to get him back in the lineup. Soriano is back hitting leadoff with Ryan Theriot dropping to the No. 2 spot. Meanwhile, Matt Murton loses time in left field. Joining Utley and Soriano back in the lineup is Ben Sheets, who's been out since mid-July with a finger injury. I guess you expect the annual injury from Sheets, who was a solid 10-4 with a 3.39 ERA before going on the DL. Hopefully there won't be any more hiccups down the stretch. Meanwhile, Sheets takes the rotation spot of Chris Capuano, who hasn't won in 16 starts. But while those big names are coming back, Mike Mussina is taking a break, at least for one start. After getting bombed in his last three outings, the veteran righty is being replaced rotation for his next start by Ian Kennedy, the Yankees' first-round pick last year. Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain have climbed rapidly through the Yankees system together this season, and now the former USC star gets his chance at the big time. Kennedy, who will be called up when rosters expand on Saturday, is 12-3 over three levels of the minors this season with a combined 1.91 ERA and 163 strikeouts in 146 1/3 innings. Luckily for Kennedy, he'll draw the Devil Rays in his debut. Also, after the Dodgers got a win out of David Wells on Sunday, they're now taking a chance on Esteban Loaiza, claiming him off waivers from the A's. Loaiza had been hurt most of the season, but allowed just three runs over 14 1/3 innings in his two starts this season (both against the Blue Jays). He'll be moving to a similar home stadium situation in L.A., so if he's healthy, he might be worth a flyer in NL-only leagues. Switching over for a couple of football notes … -- One player who might now sneak into the final round of some deeper fantasy leagues is Darren Sproles, who might step in as LaDainian Tomlinson's backup for the first few weeks of the season. Sproles, who missed all of last season with a broken leg, has been running well during the preseason and might have earned a roster spot with Michael Turner struggling with a high ankle sprain. Sproles is still best used as a return man, but now has a little extra value as insurance for Tomlinson. -- Should Torry Holt's draft value go down? Holt said his recovery from offseason knee surgery is going slower than he expected. However, he has played this preseason, so it's not like he'll be completely out of action. He might be slowed a bit for Week 1, but he finds ways to put up stats. -- Bengals kicker Shayne Graham has a hip injury suffered in Monday night's game against the Falcons. The team signed Aaron Elling to kick in the final preseason game this week, and there's a chance Graham could miss the season opener. Something to consider if you're still drafting. Graham is a decent option at kicker otherwise given Cincinnati's offense. -- The Packers' running back situation for Week 1 is still up in the air. Rookie Brandon Jackson is recovering from a concussion and Vernand Morency has been sidelined for most of camp with a knee injury. There's a shot that Noah Herron could be the starter for the opener, although he wouldn't be more than a very late draft pick if you're desperate. Closer change in AtlantaWhat makes the move even more intriguing is that the Braves don't have a slam-dunk option at closer to replace him right now. They did have a bunch of options before, but Mike Gonzalez was lost to Tommy John surgery early in the season, Rafael Soriano has been ordinary lately and recent acquisition Octavio Dotel is on the disabled list. As Peck mentioned in his piece, Oscar Villarreal and Peter Moylan may be options to close in the interim if Soriano doesn't get the job right now. And there's a good chance Dotel will be given the job whenever he returns from his injury. For now, Villarreal and Soriano look to be the guys to target now, and then stashing away Dotel just in case. If you're really desperate, maybe Moylan is an option. Wickman's future is obviously up in the air, and depending on where he lands, he might still be a contender for saves. But that's obviously a big if right now. More preseason risers, sliders
-- Donald Driver getting carted off the field is definitely not a good sign. Driver sprained his foot in Thursday's game against the Jaguars, although it was originally thought to be an ankle injury. His status, especially for Week 1, is up in the air, so No. 2 wideout Greg Jennings and rookie James Jones (the early favorite for the No. 3 job) move up the charts a little bit. -- Lance Moore isn't the only under-the-radar Saints receiver to impress this preseason. Veteran David Patten, a bust in Washington, had a touchdown on Thursday. He is one of many players, along with Moore and Terrence Copper, to be in the running for New Orleans' No. 3 wideout slot. There's a lot of depth here, and that doesn't even include first-round pick Robert Meachem, who has yet to find a good spot with the team. While Marques Colston is the No. 1 guy, Devery Henderson can still be challenged for the No. 2 job, and a lot of these other guys could have a good game or two in their future this season. There's a lot of potential late-round sleepers in this bunch. -- Warrick Dunn's fantasy value is on the rise again after returning from a back injury. While second-year back Jerious Norwood is battling a stomach ailment this week, it's likely given the veteran Dunn the edge again in the Falcons running back race. Dunn will start Monday night's preseason game and play into the third quarter. Head coach Bobby Petrino told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he might get Dunn more looks as a receiver out of the backfield, which would enhance his value even more. The youngster Norwood still has plenty of upside and is hoping to play his way ahead of Dunn, but for now, he may have to be content with a slight increase in carries instead being the primary back. -- Brodie Croyle looked to be the Chiefs' opening day starter, but after going 5-for-17 for just 45 yards and an interception against the Saints on Thursday, it's a big question mark. Damon Huard didn't play with a leg injury, but that might've helped him instead of hurt him. Either way, you probably don't want any Chiefs quarterback, and the value of veterans like Tony Gonzalez and Eddie Kennison may be down a bit. Top closers crumble
It was a strange series for both Hoffman and Wagner, but hopefully they were just bumps in the road. Hoffman had save chances in all three games, blowing two and converting one. Hoffman lost Tuesday's game by allowing two runs and four hits and getting just one out. Then he pitched 2/3 of an inning Wednesday to bail out Kevin Cameron, who made a 7-2 rout look way too close in the ninth. Finally, he gave up a run in the ninth on Thursday but got the win when the Padres scored in the 10th. Wagner gave up the go-ahead run in a 5-5 game on Tuesday, but was bailed out when Hoffman allowed two runs in the bottom of the ninth. And then Wagner gave up two runs in the ninth on Thursday to blow the save, but was spared a loss when Hoffman had his issues. Aaron Heilman would eventually pick up the loss, while Heath Bell came in to get the save for the Padres that Hoffman couldn't. With both teams still in the thick of the race, it's hard to think they'll get much rest in September and let other pitchers pick up more saves. I guess the Mets' best option at this point after Wagner is still the inconsistent Heilman, although Jorge Sosa has pitched well in middle relief. The Padres have a strong bullpen this season, and it's possible Bell might see another chance or two if Hoffman needs the rest. Other notes heading into the weekend: -- Jonathan Broxton's streak of 96 2/3 innings without allowing a homer ended on Thursday when Tadahito Iguchi went deep in the eighth inning. -- Albert Pujols' homer streak ended at five games, as the Marlins shut down the Cardinals. However, Josh Willingham had a big game with two homers and six RBIs. -- The Cubs made an interesting move in picking up Craig Monroe, who had been designated for assignment by the Tigers. Monroe has power, although his average can be somewhat suspect, and probably will see time against left-handed hitters. The potential for some homers off the bench will make him a nice pickup in NL-only leagues as long as you keep your expectations reasonable. -- The Dodgers will become the latest stop on the David Wells' tour. The veteran lefty likely will start this weekend against the Mets after getting dropped by the Padres earlier this month. I'm not sure how much Boomer still has in him, given he was 5-8 with a 5.54 ERA. In his last four starts before getting cut, Wells allowed 26 runs in just 16 2/3 innings. However, Wells was still moderately effective in pitcher-friendly Petco, going 3-2 with a 3.91 ERA, but 2-6 with a 7.99 ERA and 2.03 WHIP on the road. -- While Edgar Renteria is back on the DL, there's a good chance Chase Utley could be back with the Phillies this week, which is great news for fantasy owners needing him down the stretch. -- Not only is Chone Figgins struggling with a wrist injury, Casey Kotchman may miss time this weekend with a finger injury suffered in the Yankees series. Kendry Morales was called up from the minors to spell Kotchman. Highs and lows
-- Jarrod Saltalamacchia finally showed a little stick since joining the Rangers, hitting two homers and driving in seven and scoring five runs. Despite hitting just .219 since being traded, Salty now has exactly the same number of homers (4) and RBIs (12) in 73 at-bats for Texas as he did in 141 at-bats for the Braves. -- Ramon Vazquez matched Salty with the two homers and seven RBIs, and the two of them were the 8 and 9 hitters in the Rangers order. Vazquez had exactly two homers and seven RBIs combined since May 26. -- Despite all the runs scored, Michael Young surprisingly had no RBIs. He did have two hits in five at-bats. Nelson Cruz also had no RBIs, the only other part of the lineup to have that honor. Cruz also went 2-for-7. Everyone in the Rangers lineup had a hit and scored a run. -- Travis Metcalf was called up earlier in the day and hit a grand slam off the bench in the first game. He then drove in four more runs in the nightcap for an eight-RBI day. Welcome back, Travis. -- Definitely lost in the shuffle was another decent performance from Kason Gabbard, who is now 6-1 overall this season. -- However, more amusingly, Wes Littleton pitched three scoreless innings for his first save of the season. There are tough saves that players such as Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera get with regularity, and then there are silly saves like one in a 30-3 game. -- Because it was the first game of a doubleheader, the Orioles did try to conserve their bullpen, which would explain why only four pitchers were used, although this could've been a place for a position player to get an inning in. The reliever hit hardest was veteran Paul Shuey, who gave up nine runs in two innings and saw his ERA balloon from 6.75 to 9.49. But Brian Burres allowed eight runs in 2/3 of an inning, and Rob Bell allowed seven in 1 1/3. Starter Daniel Cabrera had another one of his up-and-down games, allowing a team-low six runs and striking out four in five innings. While it was a great day if you had just about any Rangers hitter, it was a pretty bad day in terms of injuries to big stars: -- Cole Hamels went on the DL with an elbow strain and will miss at least his next two starts. He was backdated to Aug. 17, so that means he'll probably be activated right around Sept. 1, whether he pitches or not by then is another question. -- Gary Sheffield is out indefinitely with a nagging shoulder injury, and it's possible he won't be back until at least September as well. The injury does solve the dilemma of playing time for both Marcus Thames and Cameron Maybin. -- The Padres' Chris Young returned to San Diego to get his ailing back checked out. The NL's ERA leader left Tuesday's start after just five innings may miss his next turn. -- Edgar Renteria came off the DL on Wednesday, then aggravated the ankle injury that got him there in the first place and had to be replace by Yunel Escobar. So much for the quick return. But there were some bright spots as well: -- Albert Pujols now has homers in five straight games. He's picking the right time to peak. -- Brandon Webb's scoreless streak ended in a flash at 42 innings against the Brewers, but he still won his 14th game, giving up just two runs in seven innings. -- Joba Chamberlain has yet to give up a run since being called up, and he struck out three Angels last night, including making Vladimir Guerrero look bad. -- There have been plenty of surprising pitchers this season, but what do you make of the Royals' Brian Bannister, who picked up his 10th win of the season. Bannister has five wins in his last seven starts, allowing no more than three runs in any of them. |

When can we test our app on Meego Appup client?
I just downloaded and installed Meego. I wonder when can we have a Appup Client for testing.
With manufacturers announcing tablets running MeeGo in the works, I think there is a clear indication that MeeGo is coming. May as well get started now and get an app/game ready in advance :)
Any news on this thread? I would like to test the AppUp client with MeGoo, and I guess I'm not the only one...
We are talking about installing Appup Center Client on Meego.
I have tested KidsPainter without it on Meego, but still need to test it under Appup Center Client.
Any update? Pardon my ignorance. But MeeGo without AppUp store running is useless...
Hi derchang,
Unfortunately I do not have any official information when Meego AppUp will be available. Once I get more information I will post it here.
Intel AppUp(SM) Center
Intel AppUp(SM) Developer Program

Please keep an eye on this page for AppUp updates:
thanks. I just did the test of one of my products on meego without appup center.
I hope it will not be long for the coming of appup center for meego.
Even more great things are coming, AIR, .NET and more
Hi Hong Yu,
The current moblin Intel® AppUp(SM) Center is upward compatible with Meego.
You can use the Moblin AppUp(SM) Center on Meego.
Please also refer to this link for more information: http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/faq#MeeGo_00

unfortunately, it failed:
error: Failed dependencies:
libccss-1.so.3 is needed by intel-appstore-1.0.0.b8-moblin2.i386
libclutter-gst-0.10.so.0 is needed by intel-appstore-1.0.0.b8-moblin2.i386
Hi Hong Yu,
I just verified this with the developement team.
The current Moblin version of the AppUp(SM) Center is not fully compatible with Meego yet. It is only the Moblin SDK that is upward compatible.
There will be a new version of the client that will be compatible with Meego.
At this moment I do not have any information when this new version will be released. Please keep an eye on our forum for more updates.
Intel® Customer Support
Intel® Atom™ Developer Program
Intel® AppUp(SM) Center
yes. you are right. I tested one of my products, KidsPainter, which supports both moblin and meego on the Meego. Installation and launch are ok. And the authorization function of Appup SDK successfully stop the program going on without Appup client installed. SDK did work without problem. :D
I am looking forward to the appup client for meego for the full test.
You can clear the first dependency by
yum install ccss
the second in a bug that clutter-gst is causing, so we can download another clutter-gst rpm from
then try installing...
Althought I built the libclutter-gst from the source code and install it. It still does not work.
error: Failed dependencies:
libclutter-gst-0.10.so.0 is needed by intel-appstore-1.0.0.b8-moblin2.i386

chown: 无效的 spec: "appstore:"
Installation failed.
I have already had libclutter-gst-0.10.so.0 both under /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib
any clue?
Hi Hong: Is this for KidsPainter? I ran your program just fine on Moblin 2.1.

On November 30, 2001 we checked in to the Jonesboro, GA Days Inn located on Old Dixie Hwy. Upon checking in we were sent to one room where the heating and air conditioner did not work. We returned to the office only to be sent to 7 other rooms, some missing linens, pillows and light bulbs, others where the air conditioner and heating unit were also broken. Finally the last unit we looked at was okay, but the remote was missing so we had to go to another unit and get a remote. We checked into this hotel originally at 9:30 p.m., we were not able to get settled into a room until aproximately 10:45 p.m.
To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:
I would either like my money back or since we travel quite a bit we would be willing to stay at another Days Inn for no charge.
At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident. Thank you for your time.

We live in the mountains. My husband had a early morning appointment at the VA hospital. Instead of traveling dangerous curvy roads in the AM morning hours in the darkness, we decided to leave the day before and stay at Days Inn which we have done in the past. They are only 5 minutes away from the VA. They would not give us a room because we live within 100 miles. There loss and Days Inn no matter where is now off our list. We stayed at a Holiday Inn and staff was great.

We paid for a room and when first opened door to room I sat on I think it was a chair waiting for my husband to park the car, up in the corner of room was a HUGE cob web (really!!! No way this could have been missed ) the carpet was stained and black, sticky. I could not set my bags down for fear what I might find in them when I left, I never made it to look at the beds how ever I knew I would not be sleeping in them . and the picture on the wall had no glass in it . .it had been busted out and put back on the wall! When my husband came in we went to front desk let them know how very NASTY and uncaring their place had become since it was sold to them . I was a housekeeper at that very place and I can't understand what in the world how the Days Inn even allows these places to represent them ! That was a 5 star hotel we cared how people thought and felt . What are they paying their housekeepers and staff because it is not worth min wage . And the one thing good we left with. .. .. . OUR MONEY!

I asked for a wake up call at 6:30 am. I happened to wake up on my on before then. I left the room at 7:05 am and had never got a wake up call. Later that night when I got back in, I got online and was watching a movie on Netflix. When the internet suddenly went out I called to ask them to reboot. The thing was I had no dial tone on my room phone. I checked the plugs on both ends and that didn't help. I found a phone book and called the lobby with my cellphone. I asked the lady at the desk to reboot the internet and oh, by the way, I see why I didn't get my wakeup call because my phone don't work. She started out saying I was talking to her so it did work but I was on my cellphone. She kept telling me about the printout she had that said I did get the wake up call. I wasn't really worried about a wakeup call at that point, I just wanted my wifi back on. Any way, she kept telling me I was wrong, which is in effect, telling me I was lying about the wakeup call, and at some point I let slip a cuss word. I don't like being called a liar. After that I asked to speak to the manager and she had no interest in anything I had to say. She gave me a Jesus speech. I wasn't upset about the missed wakeup call until that lady insisted I was lying.

Me, my sister and Niece went to Nashville this year, had the best time ever !! We stayed in a Days Inn that was beyond horrible ( I dreaded having to go back at night ) . There was duct tape in the bathtub, rust under the toilet and mold behind the bathroom door . This piece of [snip]room cost us 810.00 for 5 night stay. We were quoted one price and they added tons of extra fees. It should have cost us 550.00.
What the hell are you to do when you drive into Nashville for the CMA and you have the worst most horrible room :( I hope someone from Days Inn contacts me because if I'm not helped in this matter, I'm sending this letter to all newspapers in the Nashville area and Toronto star and Toronto sun paper!!

Two girlfriends and myself spent 4 nights at this Days Inn & I do NOT recommend it at all. The room was comfortable enough but the manager was very RUDE and Disrespectful to all 3 of us ladies. Due to the fact that we were staying multiple nights we put out the Do Not Disturb placard to let them know that they did not need to clean the room, but when we asked for clean towels after we had used them 2x each the manager was very rude & did not want to give us clean towels because we didn't let them clean the room.
We took care of our own trash but we had to provide our own trash bags (again because we didn't want the room cleaned they wouldn't give use any trash bags), we had to beg to get a couple of extra packets of coffee which he did give to us but very begrudgedly. The same went for the towels, we did get them but he had a fit that about it because we didn't want the room cleaned.
The Manager was just the most RUDE & Disrespectful person I have ever met & I will NEVER stay at any Days Inn or any of its affiliates ever again because of this one experience.

It was late I was tired & decided it couldn't be too bad. I have avoided Days Inn for years but decided to give them another chance. BIG MISTAKE!
Their rate was very high for what they offered. I made the mistake of thinking with the rate I paid that a microwave, Ref & TV would be included. However there was no TV or Ref and the only TV was a few channels not the selection with even basic service. After unloading all the bags for a nights stay, I discovered the missing items. I was told that the TV problem was posted but why did the desk clerk not mention the fact to make sure I did see the notice and understood the situation. The room was a second rate room for first class prices. Conclusion, stay with my opinion of Days Inn & pass it by for a more reputable chain.

Jack is simply the best at what he does. A great DJ with a greater personality! And his lighting team is top notch as well!

Jack brought so much energy and excitement to our wedding! Everyone, from 10 year old kids to my grandparents, who are in their 70s and 80s, were on the dance floor. A good DJ is so crucial and can really set the tone of the reception and Jack really helped us achieve the high energy reception that we envisioned. He also stuck by our do not play list.
We corresponded mostly through email and he was extremely responsive and professional. He was also very flexible when I added on additional services such as lighting and slideshow equipment in the days leading up to the wedding. Thank you Jack!

Jack Hou at TMMPRO Delivered high-quality entertainment for my wedding reception! He made the reception fun, engaged the guests, and kept up a lively spirit. Jack was easy going and was able to work with us to customize the prefect music set and entertainment for the night. He was always there, and on time. THe meetings were very productive and he also gave us ides on how to make our wedding day fun; great collaboration between Jack and my wife & I. Jack also did our lighting as well, what a "Jack" of all trades! The blue uplighting and the centerpiece pin lighting were gorgeous. Add that to a ballroom that is able to overlook night time city lights, and we got a reception set-up that blew EVERYONE away, and was pleasing to the senses. The white dance floor from Jack with a "water-like" effect was awesome. EVERYONE was astonished at how the place turned out. My wife & I wouldn't have asked for anything more. Jack, YOU ARE THE BEST!

How do you hire a DJ without knowing anything about the way they interact with guests at a wedding? Well sometimes you just have to take a chance. After meeting with Jack, we were completely comfortable putting our faith in him that he would just deliver . . . and he did just that and more! Jack is one of the most easy-going people ever, and that will make your wedding day so much more relaxed. TMM Pro is the premium experience when it comes to customer service, and high quality. We ordered a white dance floor, uplights, and of course, DJ/MC Services from Jack, but he does much much more - chiavari chairs, table covers, etc..he is your one stop shop.
On our wedding day, everything was on point, from the look of the room, all the way down to the music. We had no idea what kind of music Jack was going to play (we come from the same generation, so our tastes in music were the same), and we were thrilled with his playlist. He is open to requests as well (we provided him with some traditional Cambodian music) and he incorporated everything seamlessly. The best part of our wedding? The DANCING! You may see a lot of Asian weddings where NOBODY dances, but with Jack, people never got off the dance floor, and at some point, we were supposed to do the Mother/Son Dance, but opted to push it back just so that we could keep the party going. Absolutely one of the BEST decisions we made and you will not regret hiring Jack and TMM Pro. Go do it now!

We hired Jack for lighting and DJ service. He also offers chair rentals and beautiful white dance floors. If you book multiple services from him, you will receive additional discounts.
It is very important to me all the wedding vendors work well together, and I knew Jack was the one when he was recommended by not only my photographer/friend, but also my MC/officiant, and also by the hotel coordinator. Jack is very easy and flexible to work with. I can always count on him replying to me right away. He is the fastest to respond out of all my vendors. I usually email him and I will check my phone 10 minutes later, 9 out of 10 times I would have received a response back from Jack already. After the wedding, I have received multiple compliments from my guests saying that my DJ was really good. All the music he played was really good and got the crowd going, even my family got on the dance floor and started dancing (something that i did not expect!). Before the wedding he will meet up with you, show you a few samples of his work and you can work together to create the feel and style that you like. Jack also helped me with my wedding ceremony music. He did not have to because it was not in our wedding contract. But the night before my wedding my coordinator was worried that I did not have all my musics for the wedding ceremony ready and that I will be playing the music from my iphone. Jack stepped up and offered to download all the music to his ipod that night and help me play the music during the ceremony. THANKS JACK!

TMMPRO was fabulous! Jack did our lighting for us & also DJ'd our wedding. During the consultation, Jack was very helpful in suggesting what type of lighting I should use to create the ambiance that I wanted. He knew exactly what I wanted and delivered. :) Also, Jack was nice enough to do a walk-through with me at my venue a month before our meeting, and even helped me to negotiate & waive cost of using our venue's mic system with the venue director & coordinator! Through this whole planning process, Jack was never pushy and he never tried to upsell his services (like many of the other vendors I had consulted with). As for his DJing services, Jack kept the crowd going and did such a fantastic job playing the role of both DJ and Emcee! I couldn't be happier with TMMPRO!

I hired Jack from TMMPRO for our August 2011 wedding. We had uplights and spotlights for our reception and they looked beautiful! His set up guy was there early that day to set up and he even stuck around to ensure everything was working properly. They also have AWESOME prices and Jack was really good at always responding to my emails. I would highly recommend them! :)

Jack at Tmmpro was an awesome DJ. He played all the songs and genres I wanted to hear at our wedding. During the dancing, when I or other guests requested certain songs, he obliged. He mixed the songs very well also. I've been to some weddings where the transitions between songs were horrible. As for our lighting, I was blown away when I first saw the reception room with all the pinspotting and LED uplights. We had so many compliments about how beautiful everything turned out. Lastly, I asked him to throw in some Mandarin Chinese because many of our guests were Chinese and he did that superbly. Thanks again Jack for everything!! Best of luck to you in the future.
Cheers, Steve and Tania

I like Jack overall. He is fun and flexible. He is full equipped with games. The only complaints I received from my bridal party were from one bridesmaid & one groomsman whose names he "butchered" when he announced them. A few guests mentioned that he was not that responsive to their song requests. The lighting service was great. Since he did not pronounce my husband's or my name wrong, I'd say, he is money well spent!

Not so many vendors I found to be very responsive, creative and always update their blog often. Jack is one of the vendor who's very responsive and works very hard to please his clients. Jack was our DJ/MC for our wedding ceremony/ reception and he did our lighting too. If I call or e-mail him with some questions or advice, he'll response within 24 hour or less on average. He's very nice, friendly, fun, easy to work with, and very energetic; He really makes a good DJ/MC. Because of the blogs he posted, I was able to vision the lighting set up on my wedding and I actually got a lot of vendor recommendation and ideas from there too. The amount I spent for lighting was worth it because he made my wedding to be very very beautiful. Thank you Jack for making our wedding looks beautiful

Mahwah Winter's Park revitalization attempted
Mahwah - The Winter's Park Playground Committee turned non-profit may be facing economic adversity, but its leader, a lifelong township resident, has no plans to slow down its campaign to revitalize the recreational site.
Kimberly Niforos Bolan, chairwoman of the incorporated organization, said the committee of eight aims to hold at least one fundraising event a month "over the next year or two," raising awareness about the park on East Ramapo Avenue.
First up is on Feb. 23 with a "Coins for a Cause" program at Boiling Springs Savings Bank. On March 13, Mahwah Bar and Grill will donate 10 percent of purchase to the committee and on April 26, a benefit dinner will be held at Apple Ridge Country Club.
The current playground was built in 1992 as a result of the efforts of volunteers spearheaded by Sharon Rounds, the founder and president of the first Winter's Park Playground Committee.
In an interview on Feb. 14, Rounds said she and six others formed the committee because "our only option [for a playground] was at Ramsey's Finch Park. [At that time] Ramsey posted a sign at [Finch] that said 'Ramsey residents only.' Instead of fighting with them, I decided to put my efforts into a playground and park for Mahwah."
Rounds is now the executive director of the Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce. She said part of her strategy for raising support and funds was by visiting the chamber and local businesses and distributing monthly newsletters to residents about the latest fundraising events.
"It took us about two years to raise enough money and about four or five years to complete the project," Rounds said. "I'm happy someone else is taking an interest. It takes a lot of team work."
Now Bolan, a stay-at-home mother of an 18-month-old boy, is spearheading the effort to replace the "run-down equipment" and restore it as a "beautiful spot."
The organization, which recently gained its legal non-profit status, was reestablished as a subcommittee of the Beautification Committee last March. Bolan said achieving that status took a lot of work and research.
"[The park] is in a beautiful spot of our town and I think the community needs to pay a visit - once spring rolls around - so that they can embrace it, too," Bolan said. "A lot of our residents take their children to the playground at Finch Park in Ramsey. We need a beautiful and safe playground of our own."

Quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Initially, it was lovely and light and full of citrusy lime flavor. That was eventually just a fond memory when the fish sauce aftertaste kicked in. And then lingered. And wouldn't go away even after I'd brushed my teeth three times. Listerine finally killed it, but it couldn't get the horrible smell out if my kitchen. Leaving my windows open for two hours in twenty degree weather helped, though. Love yourself and your family. Don't even consider making this.

Snake Eater 3DS expected to launch in November
Snake and all his women troubles... IN 3D!
Well, we all know how this story ends, but for anyone who didn't keep up with the pre-PS3 Metal Gear Solid games, you can check the game out in 3D and on handheld come November. Maybe.
Up until today, Snake Eater 3D has gone without anything remotely close to a release date, and while the game is still without an exact date, Konami announced they should have the game ready by the end of the year and are aiming for a November release.
The publisher was originally hoping to have the game out in time for summer, but hitting the holiday shopping season isn't too bad either. Remember, eat any forest critters you see running around (in the game, not real life). Funny things happen when you do.
