- Beautiful setting- tasty food and great service!AndieDined on 21/11/2014We booked last minute for a table for 2 on a Friday night. Although it was quiet there was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were attentive but not overly so. Wine and food was tasty- no draught lager though- cost was what you would expect for a high end a la carte menu. We will definitely be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great place for lunchsjgbx2Dined on 8/11/2014We have enjoyed coffee and cake here a couple of times and decided to bring friends here for lunch. We weren't disappointed. The waiter was charming and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious. The restaurant was quiet to start with but filled up quickly with afternoon tea-ers. We're planning our next visit to the Secret Garden and we're going to give the afternoon tea a try next.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ritzy Tea!FoodFoxDined on 29/10/2014Afternoon tea at The Secret Garden is a real steal. Excellent value (particularly when compared to other venues offering cream teas). Wonderful and generous array of sandwiches, cookies, cake, buns and scones. Plus pots of Eton Mess. How fab is that? Something we all appreciated was the fact the cakes all taste homemade - robust flavours and generous portions. Particularly loved the meringue topped cupcakes filled with passion curd and the excellent chocolate-laden brownies. Will definitely be visiting again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well worth a visitBammers98Dined on 29/10/2014Went for afternoon tea. Plenty of food and excellent friendly service. Will definitely return to try lunch or evening meal both of which look very good valueSpecial Features:
- Perfect pudding!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 18/10/2014Really great night out. Impressive menu, really nice food, and a soufflé to die for! Service was excellent. Thoroughly recommended!
- Secret gardenFoodyfanDined on 14/10/2014Greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our seats. Specials were explained and questions regarding the menu were answered. Food was fantastic and service was extremely efficient. Felt that the wine was a little over priced and didn't like the fact that certain foods on the menu had a surcharge but on the whole would recommend for special occasions as the presentation and quality of food was 5*Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous food and service but...ElviraDined on 12/10/2014I have been to the Secret Garden on a number of occasions now and have always found the food and the service impeccable, however, getting to the restaurant is becoming increasingly difficult due to the large number of potholes at the entrance to the car park. It has become impossible to navigate around them and even driving at a crawl, you cannot help but wonder what damage is being done to your vehicle. Sadly, I doubt I'll be going again until they are filled in!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely lunch!sazzaDined on 9/10/2014Took my mum here for lunch on her 80th birthday 9th October. Food was delicious, had fishcakes / salad and the homemade ice cream was to die for. Service extremely good. At some point her birthday was mentioned in passing and as they brought the bill to us, they also brought over a beautifully decorated slate with 'happy birthday' written on it in white chocolate with a meringue topped cupcake and lit candle! A lovely touch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First VisitSlimAlDined on 30/9/2014First visit to Secret Garden. Despite name it is easy to find and has a large car park adjacent. Service was spot on not rushed and not slow. Food excellent and finishing with coffe in the lounge area a perfect lunch. Price very reasonable and will certainly be going again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyminifoodieDined on 19/9/2014Really lovely. Good food and excellent value. £25 for 3 courses and the food really was worth every penny. Been to a lot of gastro pubs that would charge a lot more for the same standard of food. Service was outstanding too; waitresses were super friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Afternoon TeasunfilDined on 18/9/2014This was a present for our 40th wedding anniversary, the Food, Staff, and seating was lovely the only fault and it is worthy of note, I asked for two glasses of champagne, which they didnt have but were served two glasses of sparkling english wine which was very nice, but not chilled. we did have to put some supper cakes in a box to bring home!! all in all a most lovely treatSpecial Features:
- Gizmo68Dined on 13/9/2014This was our first time at this restaurant and had gone on recommendation. The menu choice was small which was fine for me but not my husband who is very fussy and the only thing he would have chosen, the steak, was sold out. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. We had gone as it was my birthday and just happened to mention this in passing. They produced a small cup cake with a candle in on a slate with Bon Anniversarie written on. It was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/9/2014We had afternoon tea, there was four of us but I felt very ripped off when I was presented with the bill for £68! Sandwiches we're ok, scones were lovely but a poor selection if cakes and horrible slice of carrot cake! £17 too much for a cup of tea, a few sandwiches and a couple of cake slices!
- Simply PerfectAstiPasti12Dined on 29/8/2014I have visited the Secret Garden on numerous occasions and simply cannot fault it. The both the food and customer service is outstanding. I would remember this restaurant to anyone as the menu is constantly changing and not once have I seen or had the same dish.Special Features:
- Wonderful!tastyDined on 8/8/2014Excellent service: quick and efficient, all staff very attentive and pleasant. Food wonderful: interesting flavour combinations and attractively presented. Beautiful relaxing setting, attractive dining room. Took daughter for a birthday treat with baby grandson and baby was welcomed and acknowledged. Fed him later in high chair outside. Very child friendly. Daughters food intolerances catered for : wheat and dairy free provided without any fuss, and staff all double checked .We really enjoyed the experience. Will certainly be visiting again!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/8/2014I FEEL THAT IF YOU ARE OFFERING A SET MENU FOR A SET PRICE, THEN PLEASE, DO NOT PUT ON ITEMS WHICH COMMAND A SUPPLEMENT, AS THIS NEGATES THE WHOLE POINT. OVERALL THE FOOD WAS GOOD, BUT THE FLAVOUR COMBINATIONS WERE A BIT WEIRD FOR MY TASTESpecial Features:
- HartleyDined on 5/8/2014We went recently for lunch for our wedding anniversary it was really lovely sitting in the garden eating. We have taken our daughter and her husband for an evening meal for their birthdays, they were very impressed. We have also eaten in the evenings on our own which was very nice. I highly recommend the Secret Garden for whatever reason you want to have a really good meal in great surroundings.Special Features:
- Relaxing Friday LunchCheekyMonkeyDined on 1/8/2014Having visited the Travel Clinic closeby, my husband and I thought we deserved a nice lunch. We had never been to The Secret Garden before but will definitely be back. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing couple of hours sitting outside looking at the beautiful garden and our food was delicious. We are planning on returning for an evening meal which hopefully will be just as enjoyable. Only criticism was the service was a little slow but definitely didn't ruin our visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cream tea - Secret GardenAtts01Dined on 24/7/2014Cream tea brought by kids for our anniversary, food was excellent , scones were delicious and warm, service was excellent and in a lovely garden. Will be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was good, but check you rbillMingoDined on 22/7/2014We went on a Tuesday for the £20.00 for 3 courses which is very good value but beware if yo want any sides then you do have to pay extra and some of the meals like steak have a supplement . you then have the drinks on top so its not quite as good as it sounds. Service was a bit hit and miss this time as they got the drinks order wrong and also charged us for extras that we did not have. The food is very good but watch out for all the extra charges. I would go back again but only for a special occasion or if I had a voucher deal and check your billSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic venue just missed a trickEnthuserDined on 19/7/2014This is a gorgeous place for an afternoon tea or more. The food was lovely the waiting staff were polite and helpful. The cost was also very reasonable. The missed trick was that they were very busy and needed some prompting to provide all the service they were capable of, other than that full marks. We will be going again.Special Features:
- Well presented, good wholesome foodAwkwardDinerDined on 11/7/2014We've been to the Secret Garden a few times now, as a couple and in groups, and always the food is exceptional. Well cooked local produce. Occasionally the service can be a little slow, but if you're not in a hurry this shouldn't be a problem. Staff are friendly and generally efficient. Definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good...buttaxman01Dined on 30/6/2014The food here is as good as always - and the soufflé was superb. Very flavoursome when some recent ones have been lacking at times. Unfortunately we were sitting next to a group of very loud ladies (why do they do that?) which is fine - a risk one has to take in a busy restaurant. However the restaurant was only around half full and we felt an alternative table could have been discretely offered to us, especially as the staff recognised the problem. We also had to remind about our drinks order which was a little irritating. Overall good - but not as good as usual :(Special Features:
- Won't be coming again7mummysDined on 29/6/2014As always the food was lovely but unfortunately the service was absolutely awful. For a start we were sat an hour before we even got our drinks, when they came out they got them wrong. They messed up out order as we'd booked for cream teas and they tried to give us afternoon tea which is more expensive (also making us feel like we were to blame for the mix up). When we questioned it they took the food away and took about another half hour or more to bring out the scones By which time we'd drunk our tea. They couldn't even give us the right amount of glasses for people for our water. Needless to say we were very disappointed and will be going somewhere else next time we want cream teas
- Secret gardenOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 20/6/2014Wonderful setting, the staff were attentive and helpful, the food was lovely. A glass of elderflower white wine " summer in a glass" delightfulSpecial Features:
- Lovely garden.guindiDined on 15/6/2014We ate here on Father's Day. The restaurant is very nice inside and out. Great for kids with space for them to go exploring safely. Checked the menu online and thought that approx £23 for 3 courses was fine. But on arrival found there was only the Father's Day special of £30.00 for 2 courses. No starter choices, and essentially a buffet with only 5 main courses, one of which was a hog roast and a range of ok but not inspiring salads (all you could eat, that's true). Not exactly value for money. They did include the coffee in the menu but that might have been because it took them half an hour and three requests to give us the bill. Very friendly service but extremely slow. Would try it again but not with those special menu prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MAINTAINS STANDARDSDOPPLEGANGERDined on 11/6/2014We have been coming here for a number of years, and are pleased to find unwaveringly good standards of food, service, comfort (especially outside) and surroundings. Without doubt the overwhelming strong point is it's settling in a large walled, quintessentially English Country Manor garden, which when the weather permits is extremely well served with a glass covered roof, and very comfortable quality furniture. And the outlook is to die for! The food is acceptably good, and is worth going to even if you have to eat inside which is very pleasant. Very good, efficient, friendly service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday LunchBarneyDined on 8/6/2014Took my mother for Sunday lunch which she enjoyed very much. The ambience, surroundings and service were great. Unfortunately we could not book before 2pm by which time roast meat was not in optimal condition. All other elements of the meal were good, fresh vegtables and freshly prepared starters so dont be put off booking. Suggest order freshly cooked meals if your booking is later.Special Features:
- Excellent every timeAJTJ76Dined on 8/6/2014We have been here a number of times and each time the food, service & ambiance is excellent. When the weather permits, there's a lovely garden to sit in, wander around and even enjoy some of the garden games available. Simply perfect!Special Features:

- Afternoon TeaBeccyDined on 26/5/2014The settings were lovely and service was good, although they looked like there had been issues abs a little disorganised. Wind prefer a bit more savoury and less sweet the on the afternoon tea there was too much for us to eat. Definitely go again but order less. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- lovely setting for a special daylovemymumDined on 10/5/2014Took my mother for lunch to celebrate what would have been her 40th Wedding anniversary. My lovely dad passed away from a brain tumour in 2006 but I wanted to take my mother out to talk about her memories of her special day back in 1974. We had a wonderful lunch, with very attentive staff. The food was amazing! I could not fault a bite! It was delicious. The setting was beautiful and the atmosphere was idyllic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cliveaDined on 8/5/2014Had been recommended by our daughter. It was our 49th wedding anniversary and I thought an afternoon tea would be a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. I mentioned this when booking. We were made welcome when we arrived. Teas was served - almost too much to eat and half way through we were presented with a Happy Anniversary message written in chocolate. That made us feel very special. Unfortunately the weather was wet but we will visit again to enjoy the gardens and another sumptuous tea!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food with classShazzaDined on 3/5/2014Been here a few times before and just seems to keep getting better. Visited this time as it was our 10th year since we first started dating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

All food delicious and served beautifully on pretty bone china. Tea and coffee topped up at no extra charge and waiter presented candle, cake on a platter with 91st birthday wishes written in chocolate. Dad was thrilled with the place and the specialness.Special Features:

- afternoon teaviv2dineDined on 20/4/2014we started with a nice bottle of wine and then afternoon tea - staff very polite and helpful - one of our parties was disabled and excellent facilities - only comment was that because it is a small room it was very very noisy as people were finishing their sunday lunches - a shame afternoon tea could not be in a separate room from the lunch diners as had the ambience of smelly dinners! if the weather had been better we would have sat outside which would have been much nicer. Would go again but only if the weather was good enough to be separate from diners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Birth of a Pipe Bombing Campaign October 17, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, EVE Online, Null Sec, YouTube.
Tags: Mister Vee, Rooks and Kings
2 comments
When it comes to watching gaming related videos on YouTube, I must admit that I do not have much patience. Small screen video, bad audio commentary, and a general inability to grab and hold the interest of any viewer not captivated by shiny colors and an overbearing sound track pushes me to reject just about anything that demands more than 5 minutes of my time in the medium.
Some of that is my MTV generation attention span, but a larger part is resentment that some poorly produced nonsense is demanding my full attention as it spews out its low quality efforts onto my computer screen. I can tolerate armature podcasts… well, some armature podcasts… because at least they only require me to listen. But demanding eyes and ears and mind for crap, that is asking too much.
And then there is the Rooks and Kings channel on YouTube.
Rooks and Kings is a small PvP alliance in null sec that, through skill and innovative tactics, is able to take on much larger alliances and win fights.
And they can make decent videos. Their latest effort is over an hour long and I sat and watched the whole thing. It is a documentary describing how the alliance had to alter its tactics to deal with the ever larger fleets it had to contend with, how they came up with and evolved the tactic called pipe bombing, and then how effective it ended up becoming.
If you are interested in seeing a small group smash much larger fleets, describing how they did it, and playing audio of the victims (who in most cases express admiration at being so done in) this is a worthwhile watch.
Related to things discussed in this video are a couple of shorter videos, The Drebuchet,The False Tower, and War Crimes in Fountain. The latter documents the time that Mister Vee got pipe bombed after mocking his fellow CFC FCs who had been roughly handled by Rooks and Kings. I was in a fleet later that day and people were talking about that action.

Not really about MMOs, but certainly could be applicable in some cases, as it takes on the whole "whales" concept in free to play.
This goes well with their episode Doing Free to Play Wrong.
Warlords of Draenor – Expendables Style August 17, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in Blizzard, entertainment, Humor, World of Warcraft, YouTube.

Last Thursday we had the big reveal. Blizzard had an event where they talked about various aspects of the Warlords of Draenor expansion and gave us the big news that we had all been waiting for, the launch date.
And they also showed us the big cinematic trailer. This focuses on the change in lore. This time around the orc chieftains reject Gul'dan and his offer. It isn't exactly clear why they do this. Did somebody come back in time and warn them? Were they that much on the edge last time around that it could have gone either way? Did Gul'dan blow it with his choice of stemware?
Whatever it was, there won't be any fel orcs or like abominations. But the orcs are still building that protal and they are still coming to Azeroth.
And that's is all you really need to know, that they are coming… on or about November 13th of this year.
But if you are a bit of a lore noob (Liore noob?) you might be wondering about the cast of characters. I ran through the quest line in Felwood just about a month back, which included a whole "Previously in Azeroth" quest segment that played out the high points of the story behind The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, but I still can't name the
47 7 orc chieftain without peeking.
Blizzard is trying to solve this with their own Lords of War video series. But maybe you want something a little more straight forward. If so, I offer this:
Pity about the heavy use of ads at both ends, but it does show you some of the in-game versions of the actual Warlords of Draenor.
And if you want to see all the WoW cinematic trailers, Shintar has them all queued up in a single post.
Carbine Studios in One Minute June 7, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Humor, WildStar, YouTube.

A quick round up of the history of Carbine Studios, makers of WildStar.
One thing that always strikes me about the group that started Carbine is that they left Blizzard in 2005, long before WoW peaked, many months before the first expansion, and even before the game really settled down and worked out some of the early annoyances and rough patches. Now, more than 8 years down the line, when many other aspirants to the WoW throne have launched and stumbled, here they are at last.
I did think the partabout "paths" in the video was more than a bit off. Carbine did not interview anybody, they just used the Bartle types and said as much.

My only complaint about this video is that I was thinking about doing the same thing. Ah well… this is probably much better than anything I could have managed.
The new Moa ship model does look a lot like a Firefly class transport from the right angles.
Burn Jita 3 – A Video Sample April 28, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, EVE Online, YouTube.
Tags: Burn Jita

It has been a busy weekend, so I haven't had a chance to log on and watch what has been going on for Burn Jita 3.
But there is a video up that shows a freighter gank that looks really good, so I thought I would share that.
You can see the freighter, a big fat Amarr Providence, and the stream of Catalyst destroyers burning into range to start their attack. (There is a Thrasher in the mix there, and a Cormorant.) As the Catalysts get in range and start firing, you can see the red beams from the CONCORD enforcement ships, which are off-screen at that angle, locking down the attackers. CONCORD pops a few of the attackers, but then the freighter succumbs and ends up a wreck. CONCORD finishes blowing up the attacking ships as they cluster around the wreck of the freighter in a pyrotechnic end to the gank.
The Burn Jita event is slated to run through the 28th, though it could be extended if the stockpiles of Catalysts hasn't run out.
If you are interested in the freighter kill tally, there is a site up dedicated to the count.
WowCraft Episode 1- Character Creation March 28, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in Humor, World of Warcraft, YouTube.

A new humor series about World of Warcraft is starting on YouTube. Called WowCraft, it naturally opens with character creation.
I like the criteria presented for class selection. Simple and direct.
On the other hand, I never have much problem with name selection. I suspect my conventions for character naming are… different.

Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedra:
Health Risks and FDA's Oversight
GAO-03-1042T: Published: Jul 23, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 23, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3407
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Dietary supplements containing ephedra have been associated with serious health-related adverse events, including heart attacks, strokes, seizures, and deaths. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). Reports of adverse events have been received by FDA and others, including Metabolife International, the manufacturer of a dietary supplement containing ephedra, Metabolife 356. Because of concerns surrounding the safety of dietary supplements containing ephedra, GAO was asked to discuss and update some of the findings from its prior work on ephedra, including its examination of Metabolife International's records of health-related calls from consumers of Metabolife 356. Specifically, GAO examined (1) FDA's analysis of the adverse event reports it received for dietary supplements containing ephedra, (2) how the adverse events reported in the health-related call records collected by Metabolife International illustrate the health risks of dietary supplements containing ephedra, and (3) FDA's actions in the oversight of dietary supplements containing ephedra.
FDA has used the adverse event reports it has received to conclude that dietary supplements containing ephedra pose a significant public health hazard. Since February 1993, FDA has received 2,277 reports of adverse events associated with dietary supplements containing ephedra, 15 times more reports than it has received for the next most commonly reported herbal dietary supplement. The types of adverse events that GAO identified in the health-related call records from Metabolife International were consistent with the types of adverse events reported to FDA and with the documented physiological effects of ephedra. Although call records contained limited information for most of the reports, GAO identified 14,684 call records that had reports of at least one adverse event among consumers of Metabolife 356. GAO's count of 92 serious events--heart attacks, strokes, seizures, and deaths--was similar to that of other reviews of the call records, including counts by Metabolife International and its consultants. Many of the serious events were reported among relatively young consumers--more than one-third concerned consumers who reported an age under 30. In addition, for call records containing information on the amount of product consumed or length of product use, GAO found that most of the reported serious adverse events occurred among consumers who followed the usage guidelines on the Metabolife 356 label. As part of its oversight of dietary supplements, FDA has taken some actions specifically focused on dietary supplements containing ephedra. FDA has issued warnings that focus on improper labeling, issued warnings to consumers, and issued a proposed rule in 1997 that, among other things, would require a health warning on the label of dietary supplements containing ephedra and prohibit a dietary supplement from containing both ephedra and a stimulant. FDA subsequently banned the sale of certain classes of over-the-counter drugs containing ephedrine and related alkaloids--the active ingredient in ephedra--in combination with an analgesic or stimulant. As the 1997 proposed rule has not been finalized, there is no rule prohibiting the marketing of dietary supplements with similar ingredients, and many dietary supplements with ephedra, such as Metabolife 356, also include caffeine or other stimulants. To receive comments on new evidence, FDA recently reopened the comment period for the proposed rule, and FDA reported to GAO that the agency is in the process of reviewing comments it has received and has not reached a decision regarding further action.

Lucky Number Slevin 2006
Top-notch cast. A great soundtrack. I like the camera and the interface, too. Coronation is the perfect action, you can follow her very well. Nevertheless, a surprising twist is included. Good fun, I could look at this film several times.

"PA council wants safer non-car access to bay...
Original post made by Hulkamania, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Nov 14, 2006
No kidding!! My wife wrote a letter to the City about fifteen years ago asking for the Oregon bridge to be improved to allow families with kids in trailers access to the Baylands. From the article it looks like it'll take another fifteen years before anything is done.

DK: King of Swing Game Boy Advance
- Publisher: Nintendo
- Release Date: Sep 19, 2005
- Summary: The normally quiet jungle is abuzz with excitement, because it's time for the ceremony to choose the king of the jungle! Or at least it would be if King K. Rool hadn't stolen the special medallion meant for the winner. Donkey Kong and his friends must swing their way through the jungle to get the medallion back and, along the way, rescue Diddy, Dixie, and Funky Kong from King K. Rool's minions. A unique control system lets you swing through the trees and spin to build up momentum for a mighty leap. Innovative level design combines elements of platform and puzzle games: Grab gears and spin to crank doors open. Watch out for bolts that loosen as you spin, or you might find yourself falling flat. You'll need steady hands to make the leap-of-faith that takes you to the treetops.… Expand

Negative: 3 out of 30
It's so good, in fact, that even if you stripped away the DK license and made it, oh, I don't know, "Raven's That's SO Swinging", you'd still have a great game. Donkey Kong is just the icing on the cake. You want innovation, but still want a full game? It's right here.
A great new twist on a genre that I have a hard time classifying, using an established and mature backdrop.
The only downside is the sometimes-frustrating level of difficulty and obtuse level design. [Nov 2005, p.182]
King of Swing is defined by its gimmick. Enjoy the unique control system and you'll find the game a pleasant and diverting play. If you're left cold by it, you'll quickly tire of the game's one-trick-pony style.
I can't say that I found anything drastically wrong with DK: King of Swing, but the tricky-to-learn controls and somewhat repetitive and short-lived gameplay make it hard to recommend as a priority purchase.
The game's mechanics are quite a bit deeper and more complex than the simple control scheme suggests. The result of this is that a lot of novice players will be turned off by the game before getting too far into it.
This game didn't need to be made: It wasn't fun, and I won't play it in my free time.

RyanB.Oct 18, 2005A nice try from Nintendo at trying something new, King of Swing plows into new territory with fresh game mechanics centered around the familiar Donkey Kong Universe. Unfortunately as the game goes on, the challenge spikes far faster than the player has time to keep up with; The typical old Nintendo "show them how to play through creative gameplay" is missing. After learning the basic mechanics of how to control DK, you're tossed out into the cold, where the difficulty wastes no time in ramping way up, wether you're ready for it or not. Bland, washed-out visual design and dull music only helps take this game down a few more notches.… Collapse

Washington, DC - President Clinton announced today that he has directed Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson to establish a heating oil component of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the Northeast to help protect Americans from possible fuel shortages this winter.
"A home heating oil reserve in the Northeast will serve as a much needed insurance policy so that consumers won't be left literally out in the cold this winter," said Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson. "While it might be difficult to focus the nation's attention on sub-freezing temperatures during the middle of July, it is important we set up this reserve now so that there will be adequate supplies of heating fuel come this winter."
After conferring with the President, Richardson directed the Energy Department to offer an exchange of crude oil from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to companies willing to provide up to 2 million barrels of emergency heating oil stocks and the necessary storage facilities in time for this winter's heating season.
The Energy Department will offer the crude oil exchange through the Defense Energy Supply Center, an arm of the Department of Defense that routinely procures petroleum products for the nation's military. The Center will issue a solicitation within the next two weeks which will specify the terms and deadlines for receiving industry offers.
Companies wanting to participate in the exchange must provide for both the heating oil and sufficient storage tank capacity in the Northeast. The Energy Department said it would prefer to have the heating oil stocks in place in October or as soon thereafter as possible. The exact date will depend on market conditions.
"Even on an accelerated timetable, it will take several weeks before winning companies will be able to arrange for storage facilities and acquire the heating oil," Richardson said. "That meant we had to act before the end of this month or put many Americans at risk of running short of heating oil again this winter."
Agreements will be awarded to those companies that offer the best exchange value for the Strategic Reserve crude oil. The crude oil would come from the Reserve's West Hackberry site in Louisiana.
The Administration decision to act came after the Energy Department's General Counsel determined that there are authorities to establish the new component of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Although the organic authority for the Reserve is contained in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, which expired on March 31 and has not yet been renewed by Congress, legal counsel determined that Congressional enactment of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for FY 2000, which funds the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, was sufficient to enter into exchange agreements and obtain interim storage for the heating oil stocks.

Must I Peel the Ginger?
- Jim Leff Feb 9, 2008 03:46 PM
Is it always necessary to peel ginger before grating it (for cooking)? It's such a pain...
I believe the dictum is if the ginger is to remain in the dish when served, the ginger should be peeled. However, if the ginger is a component of a marinade, for example, it does not have to be peeled. Having said that, I think there will be a debate about , "to peel or not to peel." In any case, if the peel is scrubbed carefully, I don't see why it has to be peeled. Who's on first?
Yes, I think you should peel the ginger. The outer skin is pretty tough. When I get a new piece of ginger I peel the whole thing, then thinly slice and store in a small jelly jar covered with sherry. When I need a bit of ginger, it is always ready for me.
Sometimes the peel can impart a slight bitterness, but not always.
I usually peel the ginger if it's going remain in the dish (grated, cubed, sliced, pressed, etc) but don't peel if it's going to be removed (flavoring for boiled dishes, soups, stocks, etc).
Most of the time it probably won't make a difference but you can always do a taste test by grating a tiny amount and checking for the "bitter" level.
re: hannaone
I've always been a ginger peeler, but last month I made the fresh ginger ice cream from The Perfect Scoop. And since David Lebovitz didn't say anything about peeling and I had barely enough unpeeled ginger to make up the amount needed (weighed)... I just chopped it up, peel and all. His recipe called for two blanchings in hot water which took care of any bitterness, and I strained the ginger pieces out after infusing the cream with it. Worked like a charm.
I've read and seen on tv that if it is young and fresh, ginger really does not need to be peeled at all because the skin is quite thin and I've found this to be true whether it stays in the dish or not.
No need to peel it if you're grating it with a rasp. It you're using a ceramic grater, peeling it makes the grating easier.
Having just used ginger two hours ago in a soup, I peeled, but not obsessively. Generally, I peel unless I'm really tired. If you're stir-frying, it's probably easier to avoid peeling.
re: amyzan
I learned this a while back. I use to cut the peel off and sacrifice some ginger but the spoon method is really easy and make ease of getting around the nooks of the smaller knobs so there is little waste. I've seen food tv people say you don't have to peel it but like with carrots you have to ask yourself would you eat the peel as a rule. If not peel it.
re: scubadoo97
I saw a Scandinavian cooking show once and the chef passed on the spoon trick to peel ginger. As amyzan states, you save a lot more ginger using a spoon rather than a knife because you can get all around the nooks and crannies of the hand. It's also much faster.
For some odd reason, ginger is used in a lot of Scandinavian cooking.
re: amyzan
Wow!! I just tried using the tip of a spoon and it was so quick and easy!! Thanks for the "tip"!!!
re: Petunia53
There was a Chow Tips on this a while back.....showed peeling a whole root with a spoon. I could only find this one:
The skin has a lot of flavor, so I don't peel it when using it for stocks, soups or for braising meats. Sometimes I will just crush it with one whack of the knife, leaving the skin on - but then I am not planning on eating it. If I am going to use it in a dish where it can be eaten (sliced, chopped, minced or slivered) then I'll peel it.
i just use a normal vegetable peeler instead of trying to pare it with a knife...i look at it the same way i look at peeling carrots or potatoes...a necessary evil. :o)
re: soypower
I have a great veg peeler, and don't mind peeling, generally, but ginger's a pain with all the knobbiness...
re: Jim Leff
I usually slice the skin off with a paring knife rather than use a peeler. However, if I'm grating the ginger on a microplane, I don't bother, as the skin does not get grated - stays on top.
re: MMRuth
Really? For me the skin totally gets grated in my microplane. I wonder why the different experience...?
re: Jim Leff
Maybe mine is "finer" than yours? (I seem to recall we've had grater discussions before - grin!)
re: MMRuth
Maybe it was you who suggested a microplane...I have a good yuppie one now....but EVERYTHING gets grated, i could probably pass pencils thru this thing....
re: Jim Leff
Dude, it migrated to the kitchen from the workshop, where it was a humble fine plane for wood. It was *designed* to grate pencils. [g].
re: Jim Leff
You are either braver or crazier than me. My microplane has stayed in the drawer since I bought it. If I tried to use it I would likely shred a few fingers.
At least this thread is topical, doing some stir frys this week and just got a big ol' hand of ginger, maybe a spoon would be safest for me, but I've got a feeling I will lose patience with that method.
re: ChinoWayne
Keep the food next to the microplane's rasp, and the fingers away from it ChinoWayne, and prepare to have your world rocked. Once you've used the microplane, you will never go back, I swear.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Truer words were never spoken.
re: MMRuth
The late Barbara Tropp, who owned an Asian restaurant in SF for many years said that one of her cooks convinced them that peeling ginger was not necessary and most everybody stopped peeling.
re: Jim Leff
That's why you use a spoon. As mentioned by other posters, it works like a charm. Very quick, very easy.
The skin seems thicker on old ginger so I peel that but when using really young ginger there really isn't a need.
re: toodie jane
Ginger in honey lemon tea needs no peeling. Just cut a few thick slices and add to boiling water. A great cold preventative. Take before bed.
Eat a slice of raw,'unpeeled' ginger daily for the same medicinal purpose.
You'll get use to the tangy ginger taste. I did.
re: fruglescot
Yep...when I already have a cold, I crave ginger lemon tea, it's great. Ginger is also a digestive aid, I've read.
I tend to pare off the parts that look dried out, but then just scrub and use. The ginger grater I use is from a Japanese 98 cent store and it gives me all meat with the "skin" and major fibrous bits left on top.
I generally don't peel it. Peels in general do impart a bitterness, but I'm not bothered by it too much. But I'm also the type who doesn't bother salting eggplants either.
I'm surprised to read everyone doesn't really peel. I peel it every time with a ceramic peeler - it's fast and I just cut off tiny knobs that are irritating to try peel around.
Most ginger sold in stores seems to have old/tough skin, not young ginger, and like the skin has picked up extra... I don't know... "stuff", so I just feel better peeling it always.
My mom and grandmothers never peeled ginger, but I don't know if that's because they weren't familar with the implements (I can assure you that there were no peelers, rasps, or maybe even spoons in mid-century rural China) or if they thought it unnecessary. Even today my mom and I never peel ginger, but then we don't buy tough ginger, either.
I always peel the ginger knobs that I use in cooking. A standard peeler works, as does the edge of a sharp or finely-serrated knife, but the real difficulty is holding the knob of ginger with your other hand while peeling. The ginger slips out of your fingers too easily and your knuckles get peeled instead --- but I found a great solution to this problem: If you screw a cork screw all the way up to the hilt into the long end of a big nob of ginger, you can hold the handle of the cork screw with one hand and peel with the other. The cork screw holds the ginger very securely so you can peel much faster and not worry about cutting your fingers.
re: zezidud
what a good idea!
I think it depends on my use. If its going into a dish where I will be directly eating it like a stir fry or on top of steamed fish I mostly use it in finely julienned form and I have always "peeled" it but my peeling mostly involved scraping the skin off with a knife. Its easy and quick. If I'm going to whirr it up in the food processor (I don't grate heh) for some kind of marinade or sauce, I don't bother to peel.
I always hate having to buy ginger when I only need a small amount. The last time I bought a rather large piece, I peeled it with a spoon, chopped it into a few pieces and tossed it into my mini-food processor with a little olive oil. I keep the paste in a little airtight container in the freezer, and when I need it, I just microwave it for a 15-20 seconds, just long enough to scoop out however much I need. I also have a container of garlic processed the same way. It's so much more convenient than buying it as I need it.
re: gmm
May I say, not a good idea to put it in the Microwave. You are killing all the nutrients. Putting in the Mico every time the same batch, really destroys everything. Make your batch and put it in ice cube trays then you can use one at a time and save the nutrients. After they are hard, I pop them out and put them in a baggie and then it is easy to use one at a time.

Keep DreamingThe summer can be miserable unless you know what to do. Unfortunately, most people would rather spend their days inside rather than think of something exciting. To help you get the most out of your summer, I have compiled a list of my favorite activities along with pros, cons, and helpful tips. And you thought programming your hentai website in C++ was exhilarating!
No matter how stubborn or picky you are there should be at least one thing on this list able to please your lazy ass. Alright, the sun is out, and your fun day is already wasting away. So set down whatever nerd things you're doing, put some pants on, and come outside.
Camping is a great way to rid yourself of time wasting habits. Instead of sitting in front of a computer, you can start sitting in front of a campfire. If it helps pass the time, think of the fire as the planet's first operating system.
Camping is common among creepy white trash and loud, drunk white trash, so spending the night in a public camping ground means having these people flanking your five-foot plot. It's fine that the neighbors are obnoxious and untrustworthy, you traveled twenty minutes outside of town to enjoy nature, not to sing the newest Tim McGraw song. Sleeping in the woods allows a person to return to his or her natural beginnings; unfortunately, returning to one's natural beginning requires four hundred dollars worth of gear.
Helpful Tip: Avoid rape by reading Froloxio's helpful tips!
I know, it seems weird, but trust me. Bird watching can be a lot of fun. As a hobby, it is enthralling and relaxing. Simply choose someplace you feel comfortable (backyard, local park, not EB games) and wait. The idea of bird watching is to go unseen, so your extensive collection of camouflage pants will finally come in handy. You may have to stay still for at least thirty seconds, so be sure to bring an extra dose of Ritalin. If you want to attract more birds to your area, try scraping sesame seeds off the top of your Baconator into a bird tray.
Helpful Tip: If you see a rare bird, kill it. That way you can show others!
In case you read my profile online and got excited, I wanted to clear up any misunderstandings.
In a Something Awful exclusive, we reveal the true state of Darren Wilson after his harrowing encounter with Michael Brown.

Everything I'm about to show you is art. It says nothing and is worth even less, but it's still art!

More Problems For Affordable Care Act Website
Story By: Larry Stine
|Email Story to Friend
|Original Published: 10/29/2013 More major problems for the Affordable Care Act website. As Athena Jones reports, a technical failure leaves users unable to access "healthcare.gov." Another major stumble for the problem-riddled website healthcare.gov. "We're working out the kinks in the system," says Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Visitors to the site late Sunday couldn't apply for healthcare coverage. A vendor for Verizon, the company running the websites' data services hub, "experienced a failure in a networking component" that service connects healthcare.gov to the IRS and other databases used to determine eligibilty. The company says they're working on the problem. "What you're seeing here, is a gab in innovation, and a gab in execution," says Vivek Kundra, vice president of emerging markets for Salesforce.com. Plagued with technical issues since its October 1 rollout, healthcare.gov has been widely criticized and now ridiculed on late night TV. "The site was only designed to handle six users at a time, so if you're in a rush, consider using our low-res website, with simpler fonts and graphics." Saturday Night Live mocking Kathleen Sebelius. "It's better today than it was on October 1." Responsible for overseeing the website's implementation and the pressure isn't letting up. "We've had more people from October 1, people have been getting letters of deniel," says Republican Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming. "Losing insurance they have, as of Saturday Night Live last night, the laughing stock of America. She's lost considerable credibility." New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen urged an extension on the March 31 enrollment schedule. "What I'm proposing is that we extend the period in which people can enroll, so we can make sure we can get as many people who want health insurance, able to enroll and be able to be covered." The administration says that mandate won't change. "We're way too early in the process," says President Barack Obama, promising... "We've got people working overtime, 24/7, to boost capacity and address these problems, every single day. We will not rest until the work is done." Meanwhile, healthcare.gov got a makeover. An image of a young woman who became known as the "Obamacare Girl" and a symbol of the online federal exchange is no longer on the homepage. And the website now highlights the different enrollment options.

City Hall moved to Union Avenue School indefinitely
Written by SHAUN SMITH Tuesday, November 06, 2012 04:27 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
MARGATE ŌĆō As with many homes on the island, City Hall took on a lot of water Monday, Oct. 29.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been there 27 years. WeŌĆÖve seen some high flood waters, but never like this,ŌĆØ City Clerk Tom Hiltner said Tuesday, Nov. 6.
He said the water level reached 6 inches high inside the building on Washington Avenue.
ŌĆ£It incapacitated us: no elevator, no electric, no heat,ŌĆØ he said.
The cityŌĆÖs phone and Internet service were down, too. It being just a week before Election Day, Hiltner said the city needed to take immediate action.
ŌĆ£We decided on Thursday with the city engineer, construction official and the emergency management official, that we declared City Hall uninhabitable. We decided the obvious and logical choice was Union Avenue School,ŌĆØ Hiltner said.
With the help of a hired contractor, public works employees moved everything to Union Avenue School and had an ad-hocCity Hall up and running on Monday, Nov. 5.
ŌĆ£Between them and public works, it was phenomenal,ŌĆØ Hiltner said.
ŌĆ£We were up and running yesterday without any infrastructure, Internet or phones, and taking tax payments,ŌĆØ Hiltner said.
In addition, voters in District 4 headed to the school Tuesday instead of City Hall, which Hiltner said is closed indefinitely.
ŌĆ£The city engineer and construction official have determined itŌĆÖs going to take a lot of work. The floor is going to be raised anywhere from 6 inches to a foot,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt want to go through this again. Some people want to rush to get back to City Hall; we want to get it right.ŌĆØ
To help with the recovery process, 24 large trash containers have been situated throughout town for residents to use; however, no metal should be put in the receptacles. Metal items can be placed curbside for pickup or left outside the container.
ŌĆ£That was a tremendous help to the residents,ŌĆØ said Hiltner.
He said the public works department is nearly finished cleaning up 3 million cubic feet of sand from the city streets.
Hiltner gave kudos to Frank Ricciotti, superintendent of public works, Police Chief David Wolfson and Fire Chief Tony Tobasso for their response during and after the storm.
The city commissioners have scheduled a work session meeting 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8 with a commission meeting to follow at 5 p.m. in the multipurpose room of Union Avenue School.

Woman's lips trapped her in Kenya
Her nightmare began when airport officer thought mouth didn't match passport photo.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Suaad Hagi Mohamud was done in by her lips.
A Kenyan official detained the Toronto woman in Nairobi because her lips didn't match the ones in her passport photograph, according to documents released by her lawyer yesterday.
"I find it really troubling that was the basis of stopping her," said Raoul Boulakia, Mohamud's Toronto lawyer.
Documents submitted in a Nairobi court curtly explain why she was detained: "After a comparison was done, it emerged that although the passenger and the passport holder had the same facial features, that passenger's lips were different from that of the passport holder."
Mohamud has been marooned in Nairobi since May 17. The 31-year-old mother was on her way back to Toronto when she says a Kenyan officer stopped her at the Nairobi airport for not looking like her four-year-old passport photo.
She spent eight days in jail and was released on bail with no travel papers. Kenyan officials sent her passport to Canadian consular officials, who said she was an "imposter," voided the passport and sent it back to the Kenyans for prosecution.
She asked to be fingerprinted but the Canada Border Services Agency later admitted it didn't have earlier prints to make a match.
But the Somali-born woman scored a small victory yesterday when the Canadian government agreed to DNA testing.
The government will also ask Kenya to postpone criminal proceedings against her till DNA testing is completed.
Mohamud is due in a Nairobi court tomorrow. She could be sent back to jail or even deported to her lawless native land.
"The government is asking them to delay (proceedings) for 10 to 12 weeks," said Boulakia. "But I don't know if the Kenyans will do that."
DNA testing will be done on Mohamud, her son and husband, both of whom are in Toronto. Boulakia said her DNA sample will be taken within three days and shipped to Canada immediately.
The entire process will cost $810 – to be paid by the government – and will be completed within 10 days.
"We will know Suaad is really Suaad in less than two weeks," Boulakia said.
He agrees it is a step forward but he is cautious. "I think that we are making some progress and once we have scientific proof of identity, I can't imagine what would be left for the government to say."
Yesterday, a spokesperson for Canada Border Services Agency declined comment. "... as this case is currently before the courts, it would be inappropriate for me to comment," Patrizia Giolti wrote in an email to the Star.
In Nairobi, Mohamud said she was "very happy and relieved" with the news of DNA testing. "It's a very good thing. I feel closer to home and I can't wait to hug my son."

Comment: found one of these in a used car I bought (Score 1) 271
I bought a salvaged car (04 grand prix) and whoever the previous owner was, they apparently had an arrangement similar to this guy's. While putting a new stereo in, I found a tracking device inner the dash on the driver's side, kind of behind where the A/C controls where. It was around the size of a pack of cigarettes, had LEDs for GPS and TX/RX if memory serves, it also had a SIM card, which I removed immediately. I looked it up by googling the FCC id number and found the company's web site. I was kind of spooked when I found it until I realized it was probably put there by a dealer catering to high credit risk customers, or perhaps it was a used rental car or something. I eventually just cut the wires and pulled the whole thing out.

Here is the deck from my Agile2014 talk on why many folks are struggling to adopt agile in larger, more complex enterprises.
DZone's 2014 Guide to Internet of Things was produced to help you understand the growing variety of technologies, tools, and companies behind IoT, along with the challenges it faces and the vast potential it holds.
If you are short of RAM and get a poor performance, it may be a good time to verify your disks performance and see if they do match your needs.

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the LAST 2014 (Lean Agile Systems Thinking) conference. This is my second consecutive year of having the opportunity to speak at this popular Melbournian event.
This post is not about where the ideas come from or even about how to convert what already exists into user stories. The focus here is about how to conduct that initial refinement meeting, then what might be different in subsequent refinement sessions.
These items are a combination of tech business news, development news and programming tools and techniques.

Agile Practitioners 2015 is starting its way, and the first step is the Call For Papers! The Agile Practitioners conference started 4 years ago, and is an actual effort by the community. I'm proud to be part of the organizing committee, after presenting at the last 3 gatherings.
If you've been paying attention to agile at all, you've heard these terms: pairing and swarming. But what do they mean? What's the difference?
If you missed anything on DZone this week, now's your chance to catch up! This week's best include a Spring MVC 3 view controller example, a look at the new mobile database, Realm, the Java origins of AngularJS, 5 quick points about threads in Java EE, and more.

Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.
A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.

A new $12 million medical office building at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth has opened offering expanded orthopedic services.
Construction on the new 60,000-square-foot facility began in March 2013.
"Our region and our community are growing very quickly and we want to grow along with it to ensure we are meeting the needs of the people who live and work here," said Joseph DeLeon, president of Texas Health Southwest. "The new medical office space advances the level of care we can provide and for many, provides an expansion of services in a location that's closer to home."
The first three floors of the building houses a satellite Ben Hogan Sports Medicine Institute location that offers advanced outpatient therapy for sports-related injuries as well as sports nutrition and psychology.
Also on tap for the first floor are an imaging department with advanced 3T MRI technology and a fitness center, scheduled to open this fall.
The Texas Hip and Knee Center, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice, will open to patients on May 27. The center is located on the building's third floor and comprises six orthopedic surgeons.
Also opening later this year is the second-floor office of Fort Worth Orthopedics, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice of Dr. James Bothwell, a sports medicine orthopedist on the medical staff at Texas Health Southwest. Bothwell is involved with the Ben Hogan Sports Medicine Institute, along with the research and clinical studies it initiates.
Hospital officials said more expansion plans will be announced in the near future.
