Because nothing says "Christmas album" like a release date so close to Halloween that you can practically feel the goblins, She & Him's previously reported holiday-themed album, A Very She & Him Christmas, is set for an October 25 release on Merge. Check out the very non-other-holidays-that-aren't-Christmas-themed tracklist below.
Hear She & Him's Buddy Holly Cover
By Tom Breihan on June 10, 2011 at 1:55 p.m. EDT
We've already heard a bunch of songs from Rave On Buddy Holly, the all-star tribute album dedicated to the bespectacled rock and roll originator, which arrives June 28 on Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group. And now Stereogum has a stream of another one: She & Him, the forever-adorable duo of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, doing a cutesy-as-hell version of the classic Holly rave-up "Oh Boy".
Video: She & Him: "Don't Look Back"
By Tom Breihan on January 19, 2011 at 12:50 p.m. EST
Zooey Deschanel cute overload alert: She & Him's new video for the Volume Two track "Don't Look Back" debuted today on Design*Sponge, as Zooey's Twitter points out. The kitschy, retro-futuristic clip features Deschanel lounging around her space-age pad and cloning her own back-up singers, and She & Him partner M. Ward playing an inflatable guitar. Jeremy Konner directs, and Sophie Olson, who worked on She & Him's "In the Sun" video, handles the choreography. If you were into the "In the Sun" video, you'll enjoy the big dance number at the end here.
Watch: Conan O'Brien Plays With She & Him
By Tom Breihan on December 10, 2010 at 3:10 p.m. EST
Last night, She & Him stopped by Conan O'Brien's new TBS show "Conan". Off air, Conan joined M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel for a dressing room rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". After this and Elf, maybe Deschanel should consider a whole Christmas album? Watch the performance video below.
On the show itself, instead of performing any songs from their 2010 album Volume Two, She & Him covered an oldie: Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You". She & Him's cover of the song was previously released on a Starbucks compilation, but it's out this week as a digital single, backed by a live version of Volume Two's "Lingering Still". Deschanel and Ward played the song entirely by themselves, without backing musicians, and the spacey rendition proves to be a great showcase for Ward's bottom-heavy guitar work and Deschanel's voice. Watch that video below, too.

Last night, Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard played a solo acoustic show at Seattle's Crocodile, a benefit for the homeless youth organization Teen Feed. The Seattle radio station 107.7 The End was there to blog about it. According to The End, Gibbard's set mostly featured Death Cab songs (and the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights"), as well as a few left turns.
Gibbard playing an unnamed new song and covering Radiohead's "All I Need" on piano. Then, later in the show, he brought out his movie-star wife Zooey Deschanel for a prettily harmonized duet on the Seekers' oldie "I'll Never Find Another You". Watch videos of those three songs below.

Different bedtimes for school year and summertime?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 05-24-2013 - 12:51pm
Do your kids have a different bedtime during the summer than they do during the school year? I've always been able to get away with keeping the same bedtime year-round but as my kids get older, they're catching on, LOL. If they do have different bedtimes during the summer, how much later do you let them stay up? Do they at least sleep in a bit later to make up for it?
|Tue, 05-28-2013 - 10:49am
We don't only because the kids go to a daycare/camps during hte week and the 6 year old actually will have to get up 45 minutes earlier than she would if she was going to school. I do tend to let them stay up til 8:00 or 8:30 during the summer as opposed to the 7:30 when school is in, but if they start acting up because they've had a busy day and are tired, they still go to bed early then. If we were home all summer and they weren't doing any camps or anything, I would let them stay up til 8:30 consistently and then let them sleep in.

(vii) a variant of Subtilisin Novo, wherein Gly at position 169 is replaced with Ala and Met at position 222 is replaced with Ala; and
(c) a liapse derived from Pseudomonas.
2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the protease is derived from F. oxysporum or F. solani.
3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the lipase is derived from Ps. cepacia, Ps. fluorescens, Ps. fragi, Ps. nitroroducens, Ps. mephitica, Ps. stutzeri, Ps. pseudoalcaligenes, Ps. gladioli or Ps. aerugionosa.
4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the protease activity is above 0.0001 AU(A)/g.
5. The composition of claim 1, wherein the lipase activity is above 20 LU/g.
6. The composition of claim 1, wherein the surfactant is an anionic surfactant.
7. The composition of claim 6, wherein the anionic surfactant is alkyl bezene sulfonate, alpha olefin sulfonate or alcohol ethoxy sulfate.
8. An enzymatic detergent additive comprising
(a) a protease selected from the group consisting of:
(i) a protease derived from Fusarium;
(ii) Subtilisin Novo;
(iii) a variant of Subtilisin Novo, wherein Gly at position 166 is replaced with Asn, Ser, Lys, Arg, His, Gln, Ala or Glu;
(iv) a variant of Subtilisin Novo, wherein Gly at position 169 is replaced with Ser;
(v) a variant of Subtilisin Novo, wherein Met at position 222 is replaced with Gln, Phe, Cys, His, Asn, Glu, Ala or Thr;

(vii) a vriant of Subtilisin Novo, wherein Gly at position 169 is replaced with Ala and Met at position 222 is replaced with Ala; and
(b) a lipase derived from Pseudomonas.
9. The additive of claim 8, wherein the lipase activity is above 500 LU/g.
10. The additive of claim 8, wherein the protease activity is above 0.5 AU(A)/g.
This invention relates to a detergent composition comprising a protease and a lipase, and further to an enzymatic detergent additive comprising said enzymes.
Enzymatic detergent compositions are well known in the art. Enzymes of many types have been proposed for inclusion in detergent compositions, but the main attention has been focused on protease. Among the many proteases proposed for use in detergents, the following two are particularly relevant for this invention:
Subtilisin Novo, an alkaline serine protease derived from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, see EP 130,756 (Genentech).
Alkaline protease of Fusarium, see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 3,652,399 (Takeda) and DK 86/5640 (Novo).
Lipases have also been proposed as detergent ingredients, but there is still relatively little prior art dealing with lipases for this use. Of particular relevance to this invention is the proposed use of Pseudomonas lipase, see e.g. GB 1,372,034 (Unilever) and EP 214,761 (Novo).
Detergents containing lipase and protease are also known. However, as the lipase is a protein it is liable to digestion and deactivation by the protease in the detergent solution. Thus, data in EP 205,208 (Unilever) and EP 206,390 (Unilever) demonstrate that the stability of lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens in detergent solution is seriously reduced by addition of protease from Bacillus licheniformis (Alcalase�) or from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. (Savinase� and Esperase�, trade marks of Novo Industri A/S).
Further, EP 130,064 (Novo), EP 214,761 (Novo) and WO 87/00859 (Gist-Brocades N.V.) disclose detergents with protease of Bacillus licheniformis (described as ALCALASE� and MAXATASE�, trade names of Novo and Gist-Brocades, respectively) and lipase of Fusarium oxysporum, Pseudomonas cepacia, Ps. pseudoalcaligenes or Ps. stutzeri, Stability data have not been published, but data in examples of this specification show that the stability of the lipase in these combinations is poor due to the influence of the protease.
It is the object of the invention to provide detergent compositions containing both lipase and protease, such that:
the inclusion of each enzyme significantly improves detergency towards fatty and proteinaceous soiling, respectively
each enzyme added separately shows good stability in a solution of the detergent, and
the lipase shows less deactivation due to the protease in a solution of the detergent, and that hence the detergency towards fatty soiling is not significantly reduced by the protease.
Surprisingly, we have now discovered that all these objectives can be achieved by selecting a certain group of lipases and a certain group of proteases. Specifically, this combination of lipase and protease shows better lipase stability in detergent solution than the prior art.
The invention provides a detergent composition comprising a protease and a lipase. The protease is either Subtilisin Novo, a variant thereof (of a kind to be defined below) or a Fusarium protease. The lipase is derived from Pseudomonas.
The invention also provides an enzymatic detergent additive comprising said protease and said lipase.
The class of proteases that can be used in the present invention comprises proteases of Fusarium sp., Subtilisin Novo and certain variants of the latter.
Protease for use in the invention may be produced by cultivation of a strain of Fusarium sp., especially F. oxysporum and F. solani. Preferred strains include DSM 2672, IFO 5880, ATCC 659 and other strains listed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,652,399 (Takeda), as well as mutants and variants of these. Cultivation of the strains and recovery of protease may be done according to principles known in the art, U.S. Pat. No. 3,652,399.
Preferred Fusarium proteases for use in the invention are active in the pH range 7-12 especially 8-10.5, and most preferably they have pH optimum in such range.
The strain DSM 2672 was deposited on 6 June 1983 under the terms of the Budapest Treaty. It has been identified as F. oxysporum. The other strains are freely available to the public. DSM indicates Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen, West Germany (DSM), IFO stands for Institute of Fermentation, Osaka (IFO), and ATCC indicates American Type Culture Collection, U.S.A.
Subtilisin Novo is an alkaline protease from Bacillus amyloquefaciens. It has also been described under the synonyms BPN', Bacillus protease Nagarse, subtilopetidase B and subtilopeptidase C. See M. Ottesen and I. Svendsen, Methods in Enzymology, vol. 20, 199-210 (1971). Its amino acid sequence has been given in EP 199,404 (Procter & Gamble).
Variants of Subtilisin Novo that can be used in the invention are those wherein the Gly at position 166 is replaced with Asn, Ser, Lys, Arg, His, Gln, Ala or Glu; the Gly at position 169 is replaced with Ser; the Met at position 222 is replaced with Gln, Phe, Cys, His, Asn, Glu, Ala or Thr; the Gly at position 166 is replaced with Lys and the Met at position 222 is replaced with Cys; or the Gly at position 169 is replaced with Ala and the Met at position 222 is replaced with Ala. These variant proteases and their preparation are described in EP 130,756 (Genentech), incorporated herein by reference.
The proteases are preferably included in such an amount that the final detergent composition has a protease activity of 0.001-0.5 AU(A)/g.
Protease activity in Anson Units Alcalase, AU(A), is determined by digestion of dimethylcasein, relative to an Alcalase standard. The reaction is followed in situ by color formation with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid, where the change in absorbance per time unit is measured. Conditions are: 37� C., pH 8.3, wave length 420 nm, reaction time 9 minutes, measuring time 3 minutes, e.g. on a Cobas Fara centrifugal analyser.
The preferred Pseudomonas lipases for use in the invention are active in the pH range 7-12, especially 8-10.5, and most preferably have pH optimum in either of these ranges.
The most preferred lipases are those from Ps. cepacia, Ps. fluorescens and Ps. fragi.
Preferred Ps. cepacia strains are DSM 3333, DSM 3334, DSM 3335, DSM 3336, DSM 3337, DSM 3401, DSM 3959. The most preferred of these are DSM 3335, DSM 3401 and DSM 3959. Said strains were deposited under the terms of the Budapest Treaty on the following dates:
______________________________________Deposit No. Deposit date______________________________________DSM 3333-3336 28 May 1985DSM 3337 10 Jun 1985DSM 3401 22 Jul 1985DSM 3959 30 Jan 1987______________________________________
Another preferred strain is FRI 5494, deposited at The Fermentation Research Institute, Japan, and available therefrom with reference to Japanese examined patent publication JP 57-59,753-B2 (Agency of Industrial Science & Technology). Ps. cepacia lipase may be produced by cultivating these strains according to the referenced Japanese publication, to EP 214,761 (Novo) or to an example of this specification.
Ps. fluorescens lipase may be prepared according to JP 53-20,487A (Amano), JP 57-42,312B (Agency of Ind. Sci. & Tech.) or SU 491,693 (AS USSR Microbiol.) and is commercially available from Amano Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Nagoya, Japan, under the trade name Lipase P "Amano".
Ps. fragi lipase may be prepared according to JP 56-28,517B and EP 204,284 (Sapporo) and is commercially available from Sapporo Breweries Ltd., Japan, under the trade name Lipase-B, derived from Ps. fragi 22-39B.
Pseudomonas lipases for use in the invention may also be prepared according to the following references:
JP 56-28,515B (Sapporo): Ps. nitroreducens
JP 50-25,553B (Agency of Industrial Science & Technology): Ps. mephitica var. lipolytica
JP 48-103,791A (Amano)
JP 55-42,613B (Amano)
JP 49-45,592B (Amano)
JP 59-187,780A (Toyobo)
WO 87/00569 (Gist-Brocades): Ps. stutzeri and Ps. pseudoalcoligenes
GB 1,372,034 (Unilever): Ps. stutzeri, later reclassified as Ps. aeruginosa
lipase ex Ps. gladioli
The lipases are preferably included in such an amount that the final detergent composition has a lipase activity of 20 LU/g-20,000 LU/g
One lipase Unit (LU) is the amount of lipase which produces 1 μmole of titratable fatty acid per minute in a pH stat under the following conditions: 30� C., pH 7.0, tributyrin as substrate and gum arabic as emulsifier.
The detergent compositions of the invention comprise surfactant which may be of the anionic, non-ionic, cationic or zwitterionic type, or a mixture of these.
The compositions will usually contain anionic surfactant, typically in an amount of 5-30% by weight. For example, the surfactant may all be anionic, or a mixture of anionic and non-ionic surfactant.
Typical examples of anionic surfactant are linear alkyl benzene sulfate (LAS), alpha olefin sulfonate (AOS), alcohol ethoxy sulfate (AES) and natural soap of alkali metals.
In this respect it has surprisingly been found that the lipases and proteases used in this invention have good stability in detergent solutions containing anionic surfactant.
The compositions of the invention may contain other detergent ingredients known in the art, such as builders, bleaching agents, bleach activators, anti-corrosion agents, sequestering agents, anti-soil redeposition agents, perfumes, stabilizers for the enzymes and bleaching agents and so on. They may also contain enzymes other than lipases and proteases, such as amylases, cellulases and oxidases.
The detergent compositions of the invention can be formulated in any convenient form, such as powders, liquids, etc.
Enzymes may be included in the detergent compositions of the invention either by adding separate additives containing the lipase and the protease, or by adding the combined lipase/protease additive of the invention.
The lipases and proteases are included in such amounts that the additive of the invention preferably has a lipase activity of 500 to 500,000 LU/g and a protease activity of 0.5 to 10.0 AU(A)/g.
The additive of the invention can be formulated e.g. as dust free granulates, liquids, slurries, etc. Dust free granulates may be produced e.g. according to GB 1,362,365 (Novo) or U.S. Pat. No. 4,106,991 (Novo). The lipase and the protease may be mixed before or after granulation.
In the case of a liquid additive, enzyme stabilizing agents may be included, or the enzymes may be protected according to EP 238,216 (Novo and Albright & Wilson).

After 1 day's fermentation 200 liter broth were used to incoulate a conventional agitated aerated fermentor with 1500 liter medium with the following composition:
______________________________________Yeast extract 20 g/lTween-81 24 g/lCaCl2.2H2 O 0.1 g/lMgSO4.7H2 O 2 g/lPluronic � 60L 0.4 ml/l______________________________________
Fermentation time was 2 days for DSM 3959 and 3 days for DSM 3401. Additional antifoam agent (Nalco 4302/9) was used. After the fermentation was stopped, the cells were killed by a one hour heat treatment at 55� C., pH 9.5 (adjustment with soda). pH was adjusted to approximately 7.5 (by phosphoric acid) before the broth was evaporated at 35� C. to approximately 200 liters. The lipase was then recovered by a fractionated ethanol precipitation between 50% w/w and 86% w/w ethanol and vacuum dried.
Solutions of 4.8 g/l of detergent No. 1 and 4 LU/ml of lipase were incubated for 30 minutes at 30� C. with or without 0.032 AU/l of protease Lipase activity was measured before and after incubation and was expressed in % of the activity added.

It is seen that Pseudomonas lipases of the invention have good activity and stability in detergent solution. Ps. fragi lipase is strongly activated by detergent as was also observed in EP 204,284. The stability is nearly unaffected by proteases of the invention (Fusarium and Subtilisin NOVO), but the stability of these lipases becomes poor by addition of other proteases.
The other detergent lipases tested show poor stability in detergent solution, even without protease.
A solution of Detergent 1 (5 g/l) and a protease as indicated below (0.03 AU/l) was incubated at 22� C. for the time indicated below. Protease activity before and after incubation was measured on a Titertek Multiscan using a synthetic oligopeptide substrate (Sigma No. S7388, Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA).

It is seen that all the proteases show good stability.
Washing solution containing 5 g/l of Detergent 1 or 2, 0.03 AU/l of protease and 4 LU/ml of lipase from Ps. cepacia DSM 3401 in tap water was used.
Soiled swatches were prepared by applying 50 μl of olive oil (Sigma No. 0 1500) at 60� C. to a 7�7 cm clean cotton swatch. The swatches were aged for 3 days before use.
In each experiment, 1000 ml of washing solution and 7 swatches were added to a Terg-0-Tometer beaker and left with agitation for 30 minutes at 30� C. Lipase activity in the solution was measured before and after this treatment. Terg-O-Tometer is described in Jay C. Harris: Detergency Evaluation and Testing, Interscience Publishers ltd. (1954), pp. 60-61.
Results are expressed in % of the added lipase activity:
______________________________________ Detergent 1 Detergent 2Protease Swatch 0 min 30 min 0 min 30 min______________________________________None clean 114 112 110 106None soiled 113 116 104 93Protease of invention:Fusarium soiled 100 94 104 94Sub.

The results without protease show that the lipase is not significantly removed from the washing solution by adsorption to the swatch or the olive oil soiling.
The resuIts further show that the lipase has excellent stability in detergent solution without protease, and nearly the same stability when protease according to the invention is added. Addition of the other proteases drastically reduces the lipase stability.
Washing tests were made with Detergent 1 (5 g/l in tap water) in a Terg-O-Tometer at 30� C. for 20 minutes with 100 rpm stirring. Experiments were made with 0 or 0.03 AU/l of the indicated protease, and with 0 or 6000 LU/l of lipase from Ps. cepacia DSM 3401.
Soiled spinach swatches were made on a Mathis Washing and Drying Unit (Werner Mathis AG, Switzerland) in continuous operation, whereby cotton textile passes through spinach juice, is squeezed between two rollers and is then blown dry with 30� C. air (thermostated). The swatches were aged for 3 weeks at 20� C., and were then kept at -18� C. until use.
After washing, the swatches are rinsed in cold water and air dried, and detergency is found by measuring reflectance at 460 nm.

It is seen that the proteases are effective, and that the lipase has no influence on the protease effect.
Wash trials were carried out with combinations of Pseudomonas cepacia DSM 3410 lipase and various proteases, using 4-cycle-soil-wash procedure, as follows:
50�7 cotton swatches were used. Lipid/protein/clay soiling was applied with an emulsion containing (in % by weight):
______________________________________Olive oil 14.4%Stearic acid 1.80Monoglyceride (Grindtek MSP90) 1.80Gelatin 0.90Kaolin 1.35Carbon black (Degussa spez. schwarz 4) 0.18Indian ink (Rotring) 0.18Water 79.4______________________________________
Swatches were aged for at least 2 days after each soiling.
The following washing procedure was used:
______________________________________Equipment: Terg-O-TometerDetergent: Det. No. 1, 5 g/lTemperature: 30� C.Time: 30 min.Water hardness: 18� German hardnesspH: not adjusted (approx. 9.5)Lipase dosage: 0 or 10,000 LU/lProtease dosage: 0 or 0.3 AU/lCloth/liquid ratio: 7 swatches/1000 ml______________________________________
After 4 soil-wash cycles, the residual fatty matter was extracted by Soxhlet extraction, and the content of fatty matter (g fatty matter/g textile�100) was determined by weighing, and the composition of the extracted fatty matter was analyzed by TLC/FID. (TG=triglyceride, DG=diglyceride, MG=monoglyceride, FFA=free fatty acid, all given in % by weight of the fatty matter).
______________________________________ % residual Composition of fatty fatty matter (%)Lipase Protease matter TG DG MG FFA______________________________________-- -- 4.81 75 6 14 4Pseudomonas -- 3.28 40 24 14 21cepacia Reference:DSM 3401 Alcalase 4.32 86 15 10 8 Savinase 4.33 67 16 9 8 Esperase 4.57 73 12 8 6 Invention: Fusarium 3.55 49 24 12 15 Sub.

It is seen that in the absence of protease, lipase serves to reduce the amount of residual fatty matter and to change its composition towards relatively more free fatty acid and less triglyceride. The lipase effect is only slightly reduced by addition of protease according to the invention, but the effect is strongly reduced by the addition of other proteases.

Asiana House to open today in Montpelier
MONTPELIER The Burlington-based Asiana House is opening its Montpelier location today.
Gary Ma and his wife, Sandra Tan, are launching the 50-plus-seat restaurant, which includes a sushi bar, after months of modifying a State Street space once occupied by Chittenden Bank and more recently Capitol Grounds.
The restaurant will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
The property is managed by Jesse Jacobs through Montpelier Property Management and owned by Overlake Park LLC, also part of the family real estate company. Jacobs said that in trying to encourage the restaurant owners to open a new location, he had about half of the restaurant space renovated.
Ma said he began construction in November, adding kitchen equipment. He said that once the restaurant opens, hell work six days a week in Montpelier.

At the beginning of this quickly dwindling year, I proudly set myself some lofty literary goals: read at least 50 books and read all of Salman Rushdie. I will hold my head high and admit that I accomplished neither. Shame (also the name of a Rushdie novel I failed to read this year). With only three days left of 2011, my personal tally stands at 40 titles consumed – six of them belonging to Mr. Rushdie's repertoire. Despite the plummeted pledge, over the last twelve months I have greedily enjoyed some fantastic words, my friends – delicious like a sweet syrup (or Nutella, which is also very magical) – and suffered under the crushing burden of some never-ending and undeniably painful collections of word vomit. Either way, reading is a dear pleasure that I will forever espouse for our sound-byte laden society. Even those terrors of typography are better for your brain than Jersey Shore (except Twilight). With the New Year shimmering in all its untapped glory around the corner, make this the year you choose to spend just a touch less time wired in and tuned out and resolve to hold a love affair with the book.
Kick start your 2012 with these 5 choice titles from my own personal list of reads from 2011.
V by Thomas Pynchon
There is a masochist that lay dormant in all of us somewhere, breathing like a fiend and only surfacing for brief and unexpected moments of our life. V is a cramp. A cramp somewhere deep in the belly that aches like an ailing organ. An example of Hysterical Realism (a cousin to Magical Realism, which we will visit soon), you are a masochist if you finish this book. Follow the winding, weird and oh-so-confusing path of Benny Profane in his search for the mysterious lady, V. It's long, it's irksome and when it is over you will breathe an incredibly deep and satisfying sigh of relief – more like a scratching gulp of air after being nearly drowned. That being said, it is a pain that becomes familiar and comfortable, a tummy-ache that rather hurts so good and is oddly missed when it is finally cured. While you may not ultimately like it, V will shadow you like a quiet shade long after the last page.
The Moor's Last Sigh by Salman Rushdie
One of my Rushdies, and a fine example of why I love him. Although not nearly pumped with the same swelling, exhausting and – dare I say? – orgasmic energy of its earlier counterpart, Midnight's Children, Rushdie is a master character writer and can twist the coming-of-age tale to its limits like no other madman. An example of Magical Realism (my favorite genre, although I'm sure you already know this by now), the book hinges slightly – nay ridiculously – on the absurd towards the end, but does not fail to impart a buttery, fever-inducing story with a creamy rich filling – as well as some damn good prose. It is rather large, and you will need to coax it out of the gate just a bit, but see it through to the end. It will feel good and warm in your stomach like a nice, whimsical pastry.

Wedding Gift on a Budget: Spoon Bouquetby Catherine McCord in Entertaining, June 4th, 2013
Whether it's for a bridal shower or a wedding, the perfect gift is as fulfilling for the bride as it can be for you. But as we embark on the big wedding season of the year, there's an endless amount of items to choose from when looking for a gift you know the bride and groom will use in their kitchen.
One of my favorites to give is a spoon and spatula bouquet. Wrapped up in lots of beautiful ribbons, you can turn a really fun idea into tons of well-priced utensils the newly married couple can enjoy using to cook meal after meal for a lifetime.

Interesting that the sun is shining on the dying hulk.
micheal, the one thing i've been shown in respect to HDR is the halos they create. Some people don't even notice them, others esp. those fluent in Photoshop are quick to pick them up. That said the image here is very well done and don't think much needs to be done except trying to fix the slight halo on the boat.

>>Russia – Vladimir Putin has confirmed that he will accept the reigns as head of United Russia, the nation's dominant political party, as well as become prime minister of Russia, at the end of his presidency. Putin, however, will not become a member of that party. Some analysts see these developments as an important step toward Russia becoming more of a parliamentary democracy.
>>Olympics – The Olympic torch began its journey through Asia yesterday in Pakistan. It will continue on to India. Both nations "trimmed" their torch routes in fear of interruptions by protesters. The New York Times reports on the interesting history of the torch relay.
>>Zimbabwe – Zimbabwe's Joint Operations Command, including the military, police, and intelligence agencies, took complete, though some say "temporary," control over the national decision-making process in the days following the presidential election, according to a remarkable story in the Washington Post. That includes decisions of the electoral commission, which still refuses to release results from the election. According to sources in the article, the apparatus intends to relinquish control to Mugabe when it is no longer threatened by Tsvangirai, an individual with no military background. Also, a protest called by the opposition yesterday failed to take off.
>>Gaza – Jimmy Carter will meet with two senior Hamas officials in Cairo on Wednesday. Both the U.S. and Israel have called on the former president to shun the group. Government ministers refused to meet with him during his stay in Israel this week. Carter has billed his trip as a "study" mission.

Admittedly, that title does not sound all that appetizing. Chanterelle and apricot stuffed squash sounds much more interesting. Or at the very least, more appetizing.
But I used a mix of baby bellas, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. That and the fact that despite knowing that a chanterelle is a mushroom, a large part of me still wants to ask, "What is a chanterelle?"
The theory behind this odd couple is the sweet of the apricots brings out the sweet of the mushrooms. I liked finding a nice bit of sweet courtesy of something other than a raisin.
If you are looking for a vegetarian option for Thanksgiving, this could be it. It will also make for a great way to use up leftover stuffing after Thanksgiving.
That is all I have to say this evening. I feel the need to offer such a disclaimer given I was chastised the last time I wrote something so short. After a good week posting for Blogsgiving Dinner last week, a great weekend, and a Monday that's about to clock in at 18 hours, my word tank is officially out of gas.
If those are not enough excuses, I have also written this brief post twice. My computer is like a cat. It does not like it when I have been gone, and it misbehaves accordingly. Until next week when I am back with more winter squash, enjoy!
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup white onion, diced
- ½ cup celery, diced
- ¼ cup white wine (Pinot Grigio recommended)
- 1 cup mushrooms of choice, chopped
- ¼ cup apricots, diced
- 2 medium acorn squash
- 2 cups brioche or other white bread, cut into cubes
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Warm one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute the onion and celery until lightly browned.
- Deglaze the skillet with the wine and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the mushrooms and apricots to the pan and stir to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside while the squash rings bake.
- Prepare the squash by cutting off the tops, removing the seeds and membranes, then slicing into rings.
- Brush each ring of squash with the remaining olive oil, then bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Towards the end of the baking time, stir the eggs and the bread into the cooled mushroom and apricot mixture.
- When the squash rings come out of the oven, carefully press the filling into each of the rings. Return the stuffed rings to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the stuffing is set and slightly browned.
If you are a blogger who would like to join in the winter squash fun, join the group over on Facebook. We would love to see what you come up with!

Not trying to be flippant here
How old are you? They did a number on the "boomers."
First the media started telling us all we needed to have a least a million dollars by the time we retire or we would blow through it before we died. I had always saved my money in a bank, in a savings account, and I paid into the savings-based retirement plan at work. That was were most of my "nest egg" was. I never had much to save, and it did not take a genius to figure out I was never getting to a million bucks.
Next, this great new "benefit" suddenly became available in the work place: "Matching IRA contributions." If I just signed on to this new account, the "stock market professionals" would manage my money for me, and they have charts and graphs to compare the stock market versus standard savings - only as examples of course - but the potential to make up for "lost time" on my retirement funds was clearly possible. Besides, it was like a 4% raise, if I maxed out my contribution. (I made sure to point that out to all my staff, I was SO excited about this "opportunity.")
OK, the "big thing" of my life is the internet. It did not exist (at least not outside the military) when I was in school. I could tell it was an amazing tool with incredible potential, when the "professionals" who were managing my retirement account "for me" started advising we invest in the internet, a WHOLE lot of us butchers, bakers and candlestick makers said "Well, you're the professional. OK."
They used our own money to inflate these stock prices, to justify taking more of our money to inflate the prices, and then one day the piper came calling. Most of these "great internet investments" were nonsense, and most of the professionals who traded in their stocks KNEW that, but most of the money used to inflate the price was the money from people who were guilty of trusting the professionals their employer hired to manage the account. We had no idea exactly what we were invested in, other than "the internet."
Those of us who were raised when policemen really were trying to protect us, and when our employers really did think of us as family were taken advantage of by the same sharks that are trashing the economy today. They work in cycles, and if you think they do not have a plan to separate the next generation from the fruits of their labors, you will be taken advantage of, too.

Very nice indeed.
What's the trick in getting a website type dropdown menu?
We've done it as well
Was an idea I came up with last year as our website was in need of replacement and thinking about the pages that would need to go on the VLE I just thought "why not merge them together"
Ended up with this...
Redbridge Institute of Adult Education: part time and evening courses for adults
Heavily customised theme so it barely looks like Moodle in places, use HTML blocks as your best friend to give a more user-friendly look. Embed external multimedia and interactive controls (e.g. Share This block, Google Maps etc) to extend standard Moodle functionality and you're away.
As mentioned above it gives a single portal for anyone to find anything on the site, that in itself has massively helped with the takeup of Moodle as people don't see it as a separate system anymore.
What you want to use is a standard course, guest access enabled and hide all topics so you just see the intro section. Use some CSS hacks to hide the "topic outline" bar from top of the screen et voila... nice web page ready for some styling. Also add Google tracking in the footer and you're sorted on the stats front as well.
More info and tips here...
If you're starting from scratch make sure you go for Moodle 2.0, much nicer HTML editor and better feature set. Seems like upgrades are a bit awkward at the moment for some people so avoid the 1.9 > 2.0 path if you can.
Very nice indeed.
What's the trick in getting a website type dropdown menu?
On Moodle 1.9 you'll need to either find a theme with it or cook one in.
On Moodle 2.0 there's native support for it within most themes (i.e. you can define the dropdown as a Moodle setting rather than playing with code)
Best bet is to get yourself a spare PC running WAMPServer, install Moodle then mess with some themes using Firebug
gives a single portal for anyone to find anything on the site, that in itself has massively helped with the takeup of Moodle as people don't see it as a separate system anymore.
Very valid point for those considering combining website with VLE.
We've also been working on a test template http://www.webhabitat.co.uk to replace our current main site template http://allsaintsccfl.org.uk. We've integrated a YUI menu and a Javascript image rotator with translucent pop up menus and active url links. We'll be rolling this out in January but we originally developed this on Moodle 1.9 so it'll have to be ported to 2.0 first. Still needs a bit of tweaking but it's getting there. Hoping to fully integrate single sign on with Google Apps in Q1.

Nice work on the site, looking good What theme did you use as the base for it?
You'll need to wait for the GApps Moodle 2.0 update, as far as I know the existing block doesn't work in 2.0?
I'm waiting for some decent themes to come out for 2.0 to work on as a base, not much out there that seems to fit the bill at the moment Thought about building one from scratch but need to spend some time figuring out the new theming system and haven't got time at the moment...
Thanks very much. The template is based on the Afterburner template available on the Moodle site. We've done some serious rewrites of the css to get this all to work. I'll make the template available once it's all been tested and we've gone live with it.
Tbh I thought it was Moodle 2.0, looks nice and modern. The only thing I'd say from experience is that the top banner might be a bit too high as on smaller screen res it can take up a large chunk of the screen when on a VLE course (had the same thing with our theme until I shrunk the top section down a bit)

We're just getting this sorted out now; thought appreciated: New Website
One issue I'm having is letting Guests onto a course without it opening the Login page. I want to be able to "hide" content from the front page on a course but link to it from other links/buttons etc on the front page. Is this possible?

So the Academic year is ending and we got the thing up and running with Moodle. Many thanks to all who responded, whether for or against the responses were very valuable.
For anyone interested in what we have ended up with: Shelley College Website
Again Many Thanks.
PS it is the same link as the earlier post.
We used to use Moodle as a kind of hybrid website and VLE, but have since moved the web content off to Joomla. We do however display the Joomla news as an RSS feed in our Moodle page . . .. The two work really well together and having finally got similiar themes across the two I'm almost happy.

I worked at Macy's part-time (less than an year)
Easy to get hired, fun environment if you like working with people. Very flexible shifts make it easy to work here as a part time second job type of situation. Training was good, and management was friendly, at least at the North Park Mall location where I worked.
Very little support during your first shifts on the sales floor during the Christmas shopping season. Several times, I had issues that I did not yet know how to handle, and when I would look around for a senior associate to ask questions of, there was often no one to be found. Also, seniors took over the sales that I initiated! By that, I mean, I was showing an expensive watch to a gentleman, and as he was handing it to me to make the purchase, suddenly the lady I was working with, who was a full time employee, decided to "help me", meaning that she rang up the sale under her employee number and got the credit for it. I was told that I'd be in Watches, but if the regular employees wanted to do watches, they would send me to scarves or purses or some area that would not likely have many purchases for Christmas.
Provide more assistance to new hires during their first 20 hours as a sales associate. If you assign an associate to a particular area, make sure that the seasoned employees don't get to over-ride your decision!

Brit spooks: Yanks are frightful cowboys
@John A Blackley
"I also know that I'll sanction every legal action and every extra-legal action we can get away with to protect that way of life. So long as enough people are prepared to support that, my way of life may be preserved."
My way of life, on the other hand, is threatened by exactly the type of laws which are currently applied to brown people. My way of life is to (peacefully) oppose war and human rights abuses. My way of life does not involve walking around terrified that everyone who doesn't look like me wants to kill me.
You may be happy for murder and torture to continue in order to maintain your way of life, your way of life which clearly decides that all Muslims are immigrants who should allow racism to be part of their lives. My great-grandfather was French so should I too? Or does being white excuse me?
I am assuming that we are both white and middle class, I am at least. That doesn't mean that we think alike though, but that is how you judge "other" people. What a sad and small world you live in
@John A Blackley
It does follow that methods like this lead to further radicalisation, take the example of opposers of the death penalty. When I'm asked whether I would still oppose the death penalty if my mother was murdered, I say no. In that case I would hope to hunt down the guy myself and rip him into tiny little pieces. When torture and death is part of your and your family's life I am quite sure it would drive you out of your mind with grief and anger. I am sorry to impose human characteristics on bogey men but the idea that getting tough with people who are at breaking point will get the job done is ludicrous and creates more problems than it solves. Even in this country where Muslims have freedoms they have to put up with racism and are treated like potentials terrorists. Mix that in with Guantanamo and the errosion of civil liberties and hey presto.
I don't know all the answers and don't pretend to but I won't ever support this kind of torture and rendition while peace protectors in the UK are being arrested under "anti-terrorism" laws
