|1 1/2
|corn sugar
|ginger root
|fresh, up to 6 ounces
|1 1/2
|Yeast nutrient
|irish moss
|crushed, up to 6 pounds
|or other spices*
|champagne yeast
|corn sugar
|for bottling*
Boil 1 1/2 gallons of water, the honey, corn sugar, grated ginger root, gypsum, citric acid, irish moss, and yeast nutrient for 15 minutes.
Turn the heat off.
If you're going to add fruit (this is entirely optional, as are the spices) then fish out as much of the ginger root shavings as you can.
Then add your crushed fruit or concentrate and let it steep for 10-15 minutes.
Some ideas for fruit are: Sour cherries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, chokecherries, rhubarb, grapes, grape concentrate.
go wild here. Pour the entire must (unsparged if fruit is added) into an open primary fermenter and add about 3 gallons of cold water.
When cooled to 70 to 78 degrees, hydrate and pitch your yeast.
After the specific gravity has fallen to 1.020 or within 7 days, whichever comes first, rack the brew into a secondary fermenter.
Leave the fruit behind.
Age 1 to 1 1/2 months in the secondary fermenter.
Bottle with 3/4 cups priming sugar.
If using spices or herbs as a flavoring, add them now by making a "tea" and adding them at bottling time.
The flavors will be fresher and sharper.
Some suggested spices are lemon grass, citrus peel (just the zest, not the white part), etc.
If using cloves, cinnamon, or hops go lightly on these.
Adding flavors in this manner also allows you to use different flavors in the same batch, since you're just adding a "tea" to the mead at bottling time.
You can bottle two or three flavors at once this way! This mead should age from 3 months up to a year to allow the harsh flavors to mellow out.
Tasting at 6 months will show approximate flavor profile.
Serve well chilled.

Ramona VFW's Santa Christmas Drive ends with special delivery to Royal Vista military families
Steering his motorized sleigh down 11th Street, Ramonan Bill Bryant — with his wife Judy, Santa Claus and a
Ramona VFW crew — waves as they head toward the Ramona Vista military housing to deliver toys, clothing and other gifts to 34 children on Saturday afternoon.
Santa's Christmas Drive also includes trees, turkeys and gift cards for the rest of the Christmas meal for VFW Post 3783's adopted military families. Money to pay for the annual event comes from the post's Christmas in October dinner and other donations.
VFW and auxiliary members, Ramona Boys Scouts, Ramona Rotarians and Ramona High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps members participated in a gift wrapping party at the post, 2247 Kelly Ave., on Dec. 11.

November 25, 2014
PEABODY, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts woman says an airport security officer in Las Vegas confiscated her frosted cupcake because he thought the icing on it could be explosive.
Peabody (PEE'-buh-dee) resident Rebecca Hains tells WCVB-TV the
Transportation Security Administration agent took her cupcake, telling her its frosting was "gel-like" enough to constitute a security risk. The TSA has restrictions on taking liquids and gels onto flights to prevent them from being used as explosives.
Hains says she had passed through security at Boston's Logan
International Airport with two cupcakes packaged in jars. But she says she was stopped Wednesday on her return from Las Vegas with one of them.
TSA spokesman Nico Melendez says the agency is reviewing the situation. He says passengers are allowed to take cakes and cupcakes through checkpoints.

moon cakes 2013!
sorry ispe, i know how much you dislike them hockey pucks...
so, what are ya'll gettin this year?
i purposely got some from Dong Hung Vien thanks to last year's la times article-
they have an offer of buy 4 and get 10% off. boxes are metal tins and there are no english translated labels (nor is the order list), but they have english speaking staff.
i only got the soft skin ones. durian, lotus seed and paste, mung bean, and taro. i've only had van's before and in comparison, van's are denser, bigger, and stronger in taste. so far i've eaten the durian and the lotus seed. the durian isn't that strong, something i prefer, but there's a tiny bit of a sour taste to it. oh, and the smell isn't super strong either. my lotus seed had large seeds inside, which i liked interms of crunch factor, but that "i feel so sick because too sweet" came along, although, not as fast as when i had van's. overall, i didn't think there was anything special to them. maybe i should have tried the brown skin kind?
i'm tempted to try lee's sandwiches', they only have the brown ones but have flavors like green tea and azuki (as well as typical vietnamese flavors).
i do hope to get a box of the flacky taiwan kinds from 85c. they were yummy last year but someone told me they're no longer taking order?!? their fb says til the 15th. anyone else hear/know if this is true?
otherwise, i guess i could go for godiva's. they're just chocolates. i haven't really seen any other off-beat or out there moon cakes here interms of flavors this year. how bout you?
anyways, sorry if this is a tad early...
i got the godiva ones (haven't eaten yet), and will be getting the D24 durian snowskin mooncakes (sg superstore), kee wah, the brand they have at costco (my parents love it?), and will try to get the 85c box this year.
next year, i swore to myself that I would go to hk+gz, singapore+msia to eat their mooncakes.. they are amazing and cannot be found in the US..
re: blimpbinge
re: blimpbinge
Did I read your post correctly - D24 Durians!??!?
re: Sgee
Well at least that's what the box said, also that they are from singapore. My cantonese friends really love it so I end up buying a ton of boxes every time I get them at the san gabriel superstore. They're quite good, but make sure to defrost them correctly, otherwise you'll be biting into either frozen durian or melted snowskin/durian.
re: blimpbinge
Great thanks!
re: ipsedixit
Just let me know if anyone has Wing Wah mooncakes they want to dispose.
I'll gladly take them off your hands.
This place http://www.kgbakery.com/ in Echo Park (Vietnamese MC's) is a good bet if you are looking for a wide variety of fillings http://www.kgbakery.com/MoonCake2013.htm and made on site.
throwin' this out there-
anyone who'd like a boxed set from 85c may be s.o.l. even though it's not the 15th and they haven't updated their fb, website, or taken flyers down at the stores, they are indeed sold out at the stores. basically they didn't take into account the influx of immigrants and the demand it would create.
there may be a tiny ray of hope though. the chino hills location still has spots open for the flacky crust taiwanese set. i was #78 last night and asked about their so-called "quota" that all the other locations had told me about. after me, there's 22 spots left. so if that interests you, HURRRY!!!!
*btw, i tried calling them many times before i came in last night and kept getting the machine (manager was "surprised" when i told her). no clue what would happen if you faxed your order hence.
if you wanted the brown skin cantonese set, they told me they sold out within a few days of starting pre-orders. you can still come in each day and buy individual cakes (they sell out throughout the day so if you want all, you might have to time yourself) but they cannot give you any gift box nor 10% off.
hopefully this helps. i'll definitely keep this in mind next year!
re: catbert
My friend was able to get one (tw style) from hacienda heights last week i think.
I'm not too interested in their cantonese style, there are too many bakeries and imports that compete with them for me to want to search or line up for imo.
thanks for the update.
re: TonyC
What office do you work in that they're even aware that mooncakes even exist?
I sent out a friendly bilingual "中秋節快樂" e-mail to my colleagues with a link to the entry in Wikipedia, and this was one reply. And I quote:
"According to the Farmers Almanac, Fall begins on September 22 at 4:44pm. How is it possible to be in the middle of something that has not officially begun?
Also, why is it called moon cake? Does it contain parts of the moon? Or does one gaze at the moon as they consume said cake?"
At my Chinese class this evening, my professor brought in some mooncakes and tea. While they were not exactly... ahem, the most palatable of confections, it was a very kind gesture. He gave a little speech about how appreciative he was to be able to spend this time celebrating the holiday with his students, and we listened to 月亮代表我的心 on Youtube. I laowaied it up with my favorite Da Shan performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YknME_...
A great way to celebrate the holiday, in my opinion.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
Mid-Autumn Moon is Chinese sukkot, so happy holidays either way.
It's called moon cake cuz it's round, and it's eaten while gazing at the moon (now many have "round" yolks)? Didn't use to be called moon cake, but some royal hussy blurted out "moon cake" while.. "gazing at the moon".
This year is even worse than last year. In addition to the freebs at work, someone brought homemade ones. It's all date paste instead of red bean, with crust baked made from scratch. I tossed that into the garbage after one bite this morning. It wasn't even worth composting.
Mooncake ranks right up there with balut and bundaegi. Stuff is so foul. Why couldn't they have baked some apple pie instead?
i think i ate enough carbs to run a few marathons
i'll put what country they're originally from / local location.
85c tw style mooncake set (tw/local 85c's) - not a style i'm used to. the ones in the middle row molded really early on, and the rest were dry and lacking in flavor. I'd rather just buy them individually from bakeries if i wanted to eat them.
godiva chocolate mooncakes $50 (asia/numerous california godiva locations, call ahead) - I was very excited for this, but in the end, it was really just a mooncake shaped truffle (or similar). Not much different than their normal chocolates, then again.. i'm not a chocolate connoisseur, and can't seem to appreciate all the ingredients in the description. I'm not sure why they had to put tart fruit flavoring in every piece of "mooncake". Probably will not order the large box again, but maybe the small box.
wing wah (hk/tak shing hong) white lotus seed paste single yolk - friggin $40 for a box of "regular" mooncakes, but they are a famous brand in hk. It tasted good, skin on the side was somewhat thin, paste was very smooth. My family demolished most of the tin already, leaving only one for tonight.
kam wah (malaysia? says that on the box/168 market or most local markets) lotus seed paste single yolk - this is the brand they used to carry at costco near me. I'm not exactly sure what they carry now, but it's an assorted box, not the lotus seed paste ones that I like. at $16, it's a much better deal than the wing wah ones, but the skin is thicker and they leave some of the seeds in the paste(for texture?) the paste also isn't as smooth as wing wah.
D24 durian snowskin mooncake (singapore/san gabriel super store) $30 (or $35?) - one of the few choices of durian snowskin mooncakes in LA. In asia.. (esp hk, gz, sg, my) lots of hotels and bakeries make durian snowskin mooncake, so there's a lot of variety. So far i've only found two in LA, i'll look for more next year. They appear to use mostly real durian. Very good overall, it's kind of like eating frozen durian wrapped in mochi skin. But it needs to be kept and defrosted properly. If you don't defrost enough.. it's durian ice cream.. too long.. you'll have a melted mess of durian as the skin isn't strong enough to hold the durian filling by itself.
sunny bakery durian snowskin mooncake (san gabriel) - $24 per tin or $6 individually. Made on site, but clearly an inferior product when compared to the D24 mooncake. They use a durian paste that isn't really fragrant and is "chalky". Though because it's so chalky, it's easier to store. The employee at sunny said I can move it from the freezer to the fridge a few days before eating.
starbucks mooncake set (hk/not avail locally) - this probably tastes exactly like what you think it tastes like. mooncake meets coffee flavor. This year, the hk version is pretty tame, just "espresso and hazelnut" and "salted caramel and almond". I should have asked some friends from the mainland or malaysia to send it over, much more interesting than hk this year. I liked the espresso one a lot though, strong coffee flavor.
kee wah lotus seed paste single yolk (hk/local kee wah's) - very avg and pretty standard. I didn't get the normal sized one this year so it's hard to compare the skin n texture to the full sized ones. I still like it though, and I think the smaller one actually tastes better than the full sized ones because i can just eat it as if it were a big mooncake shaped cookie. (or cookie shaped mooncake?)
Hopefully I can go to asia next year and do my mooncake run, it sounds a bit silly but it's something I've wanted to do for awhile. They have so many companies competing there, so there are simply more types and flavors avail. If i'm not able to go, then I will sample more of the local bakeries that make it fresh.
Happy Mid Autumn Festival everyone!

Brownsburg, IN
One of the main reasons Brownsburg is so attractive is the multitude of excellent, highly-rated schools within the area. Of particular note is the Brownsburg High School, situated on South Odell Street. The school has won several awards in education, and has rated very highly in terms of exam results and test results. Brownsburg High School also has a robust extra-curricular program list, keeping young students involved and out of mischief. The school is also known for having a high level of parent involvement, ensuring that you maintain a strong presence in your child's educational life.
You can experience gourmet food and great service in some of Brownsburg's most popular restaurants year-round. The Pit Stop BBQ serves up some of the best ribs and steaks in town and is a great place to stop with a family. Although it is small, Panoony's Pizza and Wings remains one of the most highly rated restaurants in the area. This little mom-and-pop business is known to serve the best slice of pizza in all of Brownsburg. If it is something quick and cheap you are seeking, check out Five Guys Burgers and Fries located on Rockville Road.
Indiana is well known for the Indy 500 racing series, but Brownsburg also has a smaller yet well-known racing community. The Lucas Oil Raceway provides plenty of excitement with regular races throughout the year. Although it cannot compare to the Indy 500, the raceway does bring in famous racers from time to time. As a resident, you can attend races or even get involved in a bigger way. Lessons and workshops are often offered at the track, and locals even have the opportunity to get involved with racing on their own. If speed is your thing, this will be your new home.

FILE - In this Nov. 24, 2011 file photo, Nickelback lead vocalist Chad Kroeger and his band perform during halftime at an NFL football game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers in Detroit. The Canadian-based rock act released their seventh album, "Here and Now," last month. They've had numerous Top 40 hits over the years, and though today's pop scene is dominated by dance music, Nickelback says they don't plan to jump on the bandwagon. (AP Photo/Rick Osentoski, file)

UGH — don't remind me
The singer for Nickelback, which plays here Wednesday, tidied up after the "How You Remind Me" video. When Chad Kroeger sees it, "I just want to go back and beat myself up."

High end dinner for 1 near downtown
- w
- Worldwide Diner Jan 17, 2014 07:00 PM
Will be staying at Hilton Americas for business. I intend to search for great food within a 3 mile radius. It will likely be just me for Fri and Sat evenings. Must be able secure reservation for one or have dining space at bar. I'm coming from DC, where the food scene is decent but not overly exciting. Price not important. The more courses of elaborate and unique food the better (but I hate slow dragging tasting menus where you sit for 3 or 4 hrs.). For example, Uchi seems interesting to me. There's only one Japanese restaurant of that caliber in DC.
Uchi is great and would definitely meet your criteria--highly recommend it. Oxheart has counter seats, but you probably will not be able to get a reservation there (counter seats are also reserved) on short notice unless someone has cancelled at the last minute. Fair warning, for us the tasting menu (7 courses) was an almost 4 hour affair. But they have shorter 4 course menus, as well. The Pass would meet your criteria for elaborate/unique, I think, but I don't know how solo-friendly the dining room is (haven't been myself) or whether you could get a reservation. All are within 3 miles of the hotel.
re: Worldwide Diner
I don't think you can go wrong with either, though if it were me, I would probably go a la carte. The last time we were there, they also had the option for your server to design a tasting for you, which is sort of a middle ground--essentially, you tell them what you like/dislike, if there's anything in particular that you definitely want to try, and then they keep selecting/bringing out dishes until you don't want any more. It worked really well for us--we got to try a great variety, and you avoid the dragging on too long problem.
re: Worldwide Diner
Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but can't help but comment that in my experience if Ali (main sushi chef) if doing your meal chef's tasting menu, otherwise, a la carte, otherwise you'll be served a fairly generic set of courses that you could more easily personalize based on your own palette.
Granted there are SO many wonderful items here. Some of my favorites are the walu walu and naso nigiri. You can get fresh wasabi too.
re: dndicicco
I actually just booked my reservation today. I'm not going until next month. Thanks for the heads up.
Beyond your travel range, but worth the cabfare, is the tasting menu at Sorrel (2202 W, Alabama). You can sit comfortably alone, service is attentive without being obsequious, and everything is delicious. Cameras on "the line" transmit to large screens, so you can even watch the activity in the kitchen between courses.
You might be well pleased with Artisan's which is very near downtown. Kata Robata if it isn't too far to drive.
And then, there's always this:
re: Worldwide Diner
Da Marco on Westheimer has it and is not too far from downtown.
re: James Cristinian
Thanks. I'm gonna try to get there for lunch.
re: bornie
I was at V&A's recently and the steak was excellent as were the sides. But the $12 salad was a pathetic and sad little "classic wedge" that wasn't classic at all. I'd avoid the salads.
Just wanted to say that this thread helped me with exactly what the OP wanted on the same weekend. My concierge got me a reservation at Uchi and I had an extremely good meal. I chose the 6 course omakase/tasting menu, though there wasn't very much room for personalization. Thanks for the recommendations, everyone.
re: DCLindsey
In a couple of weeks. I have reservation at Uchi and Underbelly. I just canceled Underbelly and booked the Pass.
Did you do the 5 or 8 course? I see the 5 course is $20 cheaper but they skip the langoustine and foie gras.
re: Worldwide Diner
I've been to Underbelly a few times, The Pass once, and Provisions once. While very different experiences, the food quality as The Pass is far superior - I've been disappointed with Underbelly.
We did the 8 course. There was an mushroom dish that we wanted and it was worth the $20 for that course alone. I also did the full wine pairing - you can do the 5 course pairing with the 8 courses if you are feeling a little less boozy. In terms of tasting menus I've done, def a good value for the money, so recommend the 8 course.
re: DCLindsey
I've done lots of wine pairings and can never finish the wine if there's a new wine with every course. In March, after an afternoon of walking around Philly and drinking, I had dinner at Vetri with wine pairing and ended up falling asleep right after dinner, around 9 p.m. So it's good to know that I can match the 5 course pairing with 8 course dinner.
Ever been to Uchi?
I finally visited Houston. On Friday morning, there were plenty of UberXs around and I caught one from Discovery Green to Da Marco. This place is pretty formal with prices to match. I had the sea urchin crab meat spaghetti followed by 3 seared langoustines. With 2 glasses of wine, this lunch cost $130 with tax and tip but the food was superb. The pasta had a rich sea urchin sauce topped with additional sea urchin. The langoustines were perfectly seared - the texture of a great medium rare filet mignon.
Dinner was at Uchi, so I stuck around Westheimer, got a massage, drank tea followed by a couple of beers. I had a seat at the bar and I was told to order the 6 course tasting unless I was really hungry. I wasn't so I went with the 6 course tasting, but I added 3 pieces of sushi - ankimo (monkfish liver) and geoduck. The ankimo was so good, I had another piece. The ankimo was $7 each, geoduck $10. With a cheap bottle of sake, dinner was $190 with tax and tip. Again, great Japanese food but pricey (and none of the ingredients were super fancy, e.g., no blue fin toro). It was easy to catch a UberX to go back to the hotel.
Saturday morning there were no UberX around so I took a taxi to Hickory Hollow. At the last second I decided to go out for lunch, and to get some BBQ and HH was the closest that seemed to get good reviews. I ordered the Alamo platter, a bargain at $15, with lean beef, sausage, pork ribs, chicken fried steak, and 2 sides. The side of fried zucchini cost extra but it was awesome - light crispy well seasoned batter. Why can't they do that with the chicken fried steak? It was crispy and tender but flavorless! I also loved the pork ribs, but I didn't really care for the lean beef (I like'em fatty) or the sausages (not enough snap/bite/chew). There's a place in DC (by way of NYC) called Hill Country BBQ that does a fatty moist brisket that's awesome - I've heard it's even better in TX, too bad I didn't get to experience it. After lunch I rented a bike share and peddled my ass back downtown.
For dinner I peddled a bike to Cuchara (nearest bike dockage to The Pass), and then walked to The Pass. I did the 8 course dinner and it was fantastic. Best meal of the trip (#2 being Da Marco, #3 Uchi). Every savory course was imaginative, well conceived, and most importantly - tasty. Too bad the menu doesn't fully describe in detail each course, because the actual food was much better than the simple list of main ingredients. If Houston had Michelin stars, I would say this place deserves 2 stars based on the food and service.
The pics are (i) sea urchin pasta, (ii) ankimo and geoduck, (iii) menu at The Pass, and (iv) langoustine at The Pass.
re: Worldwide Diner
Great review! Thanks for that. So the picture is one of 3 langoustines you ordered and they all came separately? Time for a trip back to DaMarco, they also have a truffle rissoto appetizer during truffle season that I want to try, though it is in excess of $100. I've read owner Marco goes to fetch the truffles himself. Still, I'm amazed at the prices, especially at Uchi.
As to the BBQ, next time you are here set aside a day to go to there actual Hill Country for BBQ at Smitty's or Kreuz's in Lockhart, then compare to a DC establishment! There are no comparable BBQ places in Houston that I know of, although I haven't been to Gatlin's and it gets highest marks.
Congrats on surviving biking through and around downtown Houston.
About the Uber, there is a battle royal waging in federal court right now about that service. Question, did you pay for the service? Seems they have been free, I guess as a new market promotion. Have you used it in any other market?
re: Lambowner
I went once to Gatlin's and while it was delicious you can drive to Lockhart and back in the time it took me to get a brisket and rib a la carte, only a slight exaggeration. Don't forget a stop at City Market in Luling. Twenty minutes, one person in front of me with an equally small order. Total turtle operation, four people working, or whatever they call it.
re: Lambowner
The langoustine pictured is from The Pass. The langoustines at Da Marco are split in half and then seared. The presentation isn't anything special so I didn't post a picture.
I've never used Uber before but I did pay for them in Houston. It was charged to my credit card which I have to provide initially to set up an account. There's no tipping in Uber and no cash should ever change hands.

Free software
FOSS breaks many walls... but not among the genders?
FOSS, or free/libre and open source software, has dramatically changed the way software is produced, distributed, supported and used. It has a visible impact on enabling a richer social inclusion. But how has it allowed the gender problem existing in the software industry to be replicated in the world of FOSS? Amsterdam-based Taiwanese researcher Yuwei Lin lists seven reasons why women stay off FOSS — including its strong long-hour coding culture, a lack of mentors and role-models, discriminatory language (including in documentation), a gendered text-based environment, a lack of women-centered views in FOSS-development, a male-dominated competitive worldview, and the lack of sympathy from woman peers.
Share your experiences of shifting to FOSS, says Shuttleworth
As part of his Asian tour to promote free/libre and open source software (FOSS), the techie-millionaire founder of the Ubuntu Linux Foundation Mark Shuttleworth spent a day in Manila on February 2 to meet with different sectors of the ICT industry in the country.
Khmer software initiative: an APC member takes language solutions to 13 million
"2005 has been a good year for KhmerOS, and, we hope, for Cambodia's technological future," says APC member Open Forum Cambodia, writing out of the southeast Asian kingdom of 13 million. Here's an update of their project to create a Khmer-language solution in computing.
Africa Source II makes befriending FOSS a real treat
Women'sNet's training co-ordinator Elizabeth "Liz" Araujo writes that the recent Africa Source 2 event was set "against a beautiful Lake Victoria island backdrop, replete with sandy beaches, and fishing boats", and turned out to be a "smashing success". Held from January 8-15, 2006, the skills-packed practical workshop was aimed at introducing and exploring free/libre and open source software (FOSS) for non-profit organisations and local African communities. She says that what made this camp radically different from other technology-focused workshops was the almost natural seeming integration of novice, occasional user and high-end techie.
In Brazil, a threat to the telecentres turns into an opportunity... for improvement
When an intiative in Brazil to promote community telecentres was endangered, the threat was turned into an opportunity. Free Software tools were re-engineered in a way that they became more powerful and useful. Telecenters that are part of a telecentre-network can use the new system to allow roaming accounts between telecenters. So, a user can create an account on a telecenter in one city and go to other city and login with his original account, without having to make another profile for him on the new telecenter.
Taking to FOSS, Indian-style
APC member BytesForAll joined India's (and probably Asia's) largest Free/Libre and Open Source Software events, FOSS.in (http://foss.in). There were big names taking part, such as Welsh kernel hacker Alan Cox. There was a real mixed bag attended. This included Women geeks from Brazil, Indian techies keen to enlarge their tech skills or see how IT can become relevant to the lives of this country of one billion with a large poverty sector, those keen to plug in its benefits to the world of education, mega-corporations and governments throwing in sponsorship dollars and rupees…

Open Forum of Cambodia, government train teachers OpenOffice in Khmer
APC-member Open Forum and the National ICT Development Authority of the Cambodian government (NiDA) submitted a proposal for teacher training to InWent (International Capacity Building, Germany) and received support for training 300 computer end-user teachers, as well as for training 30 Linux administrators (for which Open Forum is developing training materials in Khmer). If the present rhythm of training is maintained, more than 350 teachers will be trained in Phnom Penh and at least six other provinces (in teacher training centres and NGOs) before the end of the year.
Different technology multinationals, one destination: Tunis
Big companies on the technology business have known for long that the dissemination of information and communication technologies can promote democracy, but that it can also be a very profitable business. Seeking new potential markets, they send their best lobbyists to pressure governments and international agencies into using their products. Paulo Lima of APC's brazilian member group RITS has something to say about some of these participants in the upcoming multistakeholder summit.
Battleground of ideas: FLOSS debate raises tempers at BytesForAll
APC member BytesForAll's mailing list recently played host to a strong, and at times polemical, debate on proprietary-versus-FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software). It threw up a range of issues about the role of FLOSS in the 'developing' countries, its role in localisation, how it competes with proprietorial software, why its benefits haven't yet reached regions like Africa, and how diverse approaches to software could actually make a difference in the real world. BytesForAll is a South Asian voluntary network, founded along the free software principles of volunteering, but focussing on information — and how information and communication technologies could be more relevant to the common(wo)man, specially in South Asia.

The Mayo Clinic asserts that if you believe that you or your pet may have tapeworms, you must first contact a physician or veterinarian for diagnosis. The only way to fully eradicate a tapeworm epidemic from your home is to first rid your body of the worms.
How to Disinfect Against Tapeworms
According to the Mayo Clinic, tapeworms are a type of parasite that live in your intestines. Most often found in animals, like dogs and cats, humans can also get tapeworms by ingesting food or liquid that contains tapeworm eggs or larvae.
Things You'll Need
- Disinfectant or bleach
- Hot water
- Soap
- Vacuum
- Laundry detergent
How to Keep Tapeworms Out of Your Home
Next, it is necessary that you carefully handle all meat to prevent tapeworm infections. The Mayo Clinic explains that you should cook meat at temperatures of at least 125 degrees Fahrenheit to kill tapeworm eggs or larvae. For further protection, freeze your meat for at least 12 hours before cooking to more thoroughly eliminate the threat of tapeworm eggs and larvae. Also, clean all surfaces that raw meat touches with hot water and soap.
Another important step to keeping your home and body free from tapeworms involves careful, meticulous hand washing. The Mayo Clinic recommends washing your hands with soap and hot water before eating or handling food, after handling raw meat and especially after going to the bathroom.
If you own a pet, be sure to clean any fecal matter that your home is exposed to. If you own a cat, clean the litter box regularly. If your pet goes to the bathroom in your home, dispose of the fecal matter and then disinfect the area thoroughly, and be sure to wash your hands promptly before touching anything else.
Maintaining a clean home atmosphere is the best way to prevent and recover from parasites such as tapeworms. Vacuum the floor and upholstered furniture regularly, launder clothing and bedding once a week and clean all kitchen and bathroom surfaces with a disinfectant or bleach at least once a week.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Maintain a clean home environment, particularly in areas where your pets often go. Hire a maid service, if necessary.
- The Mayo Clinic notes that tapeworms are a serious parasite, and you should immediately call a doctor if you are unsure of how to proceed, and to seek to medical advice.

West Side: Nargila, Mike's - Any Updates?
- k
- KosherKing Nov 21, 2006 06:01 PM
Initial reviews (this is the West 72nd Street outpost of the very good Nargilah on the Upper East Side) were decidedly negative. Poor food, service you name it. I wonder of anyone has been there lately and can report if things have improved.
Also, any recent reviews of Mike's Bistro would be appreciated as well.
I just ran into a friend on Sunday who said that Nargila had gotten better. He grew up near the UES version, so I guess he has some history.
We went to Mike's for my wife's birthday at the beginning of October and it was very good.
I think Nargila has improved considerably. Service can still be uneven, but they are friendly and are trying. The food is consistently fresh and excellent.
Mike's has continued to get even better. The food is outstanding. Service can use some improvement, especially when they are busy, which is increasingly the case.
Just ate there last night. Food and service was very good. I usually do not have dessert at meat restaurants. But this was a special occasion. The desserts are worth trying!
I ate at Nargilah's last night... the hot fressh laffa were first rate... crispy crunchy soft bread the way it should be. The falafel balls were good but I did have heartburn afterwards which usually means re-used oil for frying. Why can't kosher places not be so cheap!! The fish dishes were fairly good but expensive, overall good main dishes were almost as much as at Levana's three blocks away. It reminded me of the same type of place in Israel, but in Israel nowhere is there such a poor choice of salads
This restaurant was inhospitable to my guest and me. First, when we walked in the door on a weeknight, there was no body to seat us. Second, we found several open tables and asked the busboy if it was ok to sit down and he said yes. The waiter came over after a long wait with no food on the table, and he was ungracious, accusatory and confrontational. He demanded, "who told you to sit here!". Third, the restaurant advertised in its window that there was to be free wine tasting to patrons. I was never offered a glass of wine although I, three times, asked two of the waiters for some, Meanwhile, the manager and someone from the winery kept walking around with wineglasses and filling and re-filling the wine for other tables around us. At one point, they even used our table to set down their bottles for another table. I got to watch those around me sample their wine. Lucky me. Fourth, at the end of the meal, the waiter did not return my credit card and I did not pick up on this at the time. They are responsible for returning the credit card with which you entrust them. When I called up the next day, the man on the phone confirmed that he had my card but kept giving me the runaround and told me to call back at various times. I asked the woman who I was finally referred to to mail me back my card. I did not receive it after a week and therefore had to cancel my card and get a new one reissued. In sum, some of the operators of this establishment need to go back to charm school.
I think Nargila is great. Very consistent. You know what you're getting and it tastes good. Also, I've always found the service to be pretty good.
Mike's Bistro I've been less impressed with. The food is very good, but the service is atrocious. I went out with a large group (8 diners) and the server didn't take our orders for at least 45 minutes. Also, the menu is very small and doesn't change much. It's fine for a restaurant to have a one page dinner menu, if it changes with the season, as different produce, meats and fish become available. I was there in February and again in May and the menu was identical. For the price, they need more variety.
I would not go back before they rotate the menu.

1/1 Photo of Irish Vegetarian Colcannon
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
15 mins
1 hr
There are as many variations of colcannon as there are households in Ireland, usually it has milk in it, with this vegetarian/vegan version the milk is omitted. For a variation form the colcannon into patties and fry for breakfast. If you eat eggs, crack open eggs into small pockets on top of the colcannon and bake until cooked covered. This is a very satisfying, inexpensive dish to serve

William Kristol was becoming apoplectic, Hillary Clinton was sounding optimistic, and the McCain campaign was being perhaps a tad unrealistic—or so read Monday's political barometer as an ABC/Washington Post poll indicated that the Obama campaign had taken a 10-point lead in the presidential race.
ABC News:
It found that 59 percent accused McCain of negative campaigning, while 35 percent said McCain is addressing the issues.
"I think we're headed for a very big win," Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., told "Good Morning America" today.
Conservative Republican William Kristol wrote in The New York Times that the McCain campaign is "close to being out-and-out dysfunctional."
"If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed," Kristol said.
McCain, speaking today in Virginia Beach, Va., acknowledged his campaign was trailing, but denied the race was over.
"The national media has written us off. Sen. Obama is measuring the drapes," he said to a cheering throng. He added, " My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

text: Congresswoman Blasts Redskins for Refusing to Change Name Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 30 May 2013 post a comment Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) has implied Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is a hypocrite for refusing to change the team's nickname. Noting that Snyder, who is Jewish, has blasted the Washington City Paper over articles critical of him, one even including a photograph of him that had horns and a goatee scribbled over it, Norton said: The centerpiece of his suit was a photo that he said disparaged him as a Jew. So here is a man who has shown sensibilities based on his own ethnic identity who refuses to recognize the sensibilities of American Indians. This is not about the First Amendment. This is about branding — whether you can brand, you can use a brand that disparages an ethnic group. A bipartisan group from the House, including Democratic Rep. Eni Faleomavaega, of American Samoa, and GOP Rep. Tom Cole (Okla.), a member of the Chickasaw Nation, has written Snyder and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell requesting the team's nickname be changed. They wrote: Native Americans throughout the country consider the "R-word" a racial, derogatory slur akin to the "N-word" among African Americans or the "W-word" among Latinos. Such offensive epithets would no doubt draw wide-spread disapproval among the NFL's fan base. Yet the national coverage of Washington's NFL football team profits from a term that is equally disparaging to Native Americans. Snyder was adamant, saying, "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. Never — you can use caps." Norton had a suggestion: change the name from "Redskins" to "Redtails." Noting that was a reference to the Tuskegee Airmen, she added, "A much revered name." She asserted that she wasn't surprised by resistance to a change in the team's name: "I'm not surprised that most Americans don't see any harm in the word. Most of us have had to be educated by Native Americans, who after all are only less than 2 percent of the population. They don't exactly have a microphone every day. With African-Americans, you know all about it."

Mixed-Berry Jam
Published: June 2008 Servings: Makes 3 to 4 1/2-pint jars
- 6 5- to 6-ounce containers raspberries and blackberries (3 containers each)
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Combine fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in large bowl. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Put 2 saucers in freezer.
In bottom of heavy large stockpot at least 3 inches deeper than height of jars, place metal rack or extra screw bands from canning jars to protect jars from direct heat. Fill pot with water, cover, and bring water to boil. Reduce heat to low. Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse well. Set screw bands on clean towel to dry. Place lids in small saucepan; cover with cold water and bring to simmer; turn off heat. Fill jars with very hot water.
Transfer fruit mixture to large saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Mash to thick puree with potato masher. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until mixture begins to thicken, stirring often, about 18 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat to test jam for gelling point. Drop 1 teaspoonful jam on chilled saucer and return to freezer 1 minute
Remove saucer and push edge of jam with fingertip. If jam has properly gelled, surface will gently wrinkle. If not, return saucepan to heat and cook jam a few minutes longer; repeat test. (See 'Prep School' on page 138 for additional tests.)
Drain hot water from jars and shake out excess water. Place jars on cutting board. Ladle hot jam into each jar, leaving 1/4-inch space at top. Slide flat plastic spatula between jam and jar to eliminate air bubbles. Clean rim of each jar with damp cloth. Using tongs, lift hot lids from saucepan, 1 at a time, shake dry, and place atop jars. Seal each with screw band, twisting to close but not too tightly. Return filled jars to pot of hot water.
Add water to pot, if necessary, to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Cover pot and bring to boil; reduce heat and boil gently 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Wait 5 minutes; use tongs to remove jars without tilting. Place upright on towel; cool completely at room temperature.
Check lids for seal by pressing each lightly. Lids of sealed jars will be concave and show no movement when pressed.
Sealed jars may be stored in a cool, dry, dark place for up to one year. Unsealed jars must be refrigerated and jam must be used within a few weeks. For an even quicker jam, skip the canning instructions, ladle hot jam into clean jars, and store the jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
TEST-KITCHEN TIP For peach or apricot jam, use 2 pounds fruit, 2 cups sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Rinse, dry, and rub any fuzz off peaches, if using. Halve, pit, and cut fruit into 3/4-inch pieces. Place in bowl and toss with sugar and lemon juice, then follow directions above.

Summer 2011, there was a big deal international conference for gastroenterologists, etc. In fall, 2011, a large group of them published a concensus paper to try to establish the terms used when discussing the various conditions related to wheat (Baker's asthma, celiac, etc) and this paper makes the term NCGS or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, official.
Supporting your local celiac group may be a good way to keep up with the latest.

A hit from a 100-year-old Chicago bakery
By Janet Rausa FUller Food email@example.com December 6, 2011 10:54AM
John Roeser IV and his dad, John Roeser III, bake together at Roeser's Bakery in Humboldt Park. | John H. White~Sun-Times

Updated: January 8, 2012 8:01AM
Roeser's Bakery at 3216 W. North turned 100 this year. It's doing something right.
Many things, actually. Owner John Roeser III figures the bakery will churn out 15,000 to 20,000 cookies in December alone. (Though, he points out, "the economy isn't very good.")
Roeser's grandfather opened the Humboldt Park bakery in 1911. It has stayed in the family all these years. Roeser's 23-year-old son, John Roeser IV, is one of the bakers.
The bakery's more popular treats this time of year reflect the diversity of the neighborhood: stollen, a German coffee cake; julekage, a cardamom-scented Scandinavian cake; pfefferneuse; gingerbread men, and old-school fruitcake.
Roeser shared the recipe for another old-school treat that can slip easily into your holiday baking repertoire: Brown Sugar Pecan Icebox Cookies. Roll the dough into logs and store in the freezer, then slice and bake when the urge hits.

You're not late, actually. It's still the 22nd over here (but only just).

Police are investigating after cash and keys were taken during a burglary at a southeast Wichita tire store.
The owner arrived at Jim's Tire & Auto in the 1200 block of South Rock Road early Monday morning to find a garage door smashed.
After the garage door was smashed open, a battery was used to break a glass door to get into the office, said Wichita Police Lt. Doug Nolte.
An undisclosed amount of cash and keys were taken. It wasn't immediately known what those keys were for.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (316) 267-2111.
