HAVANA (AP) - The U.K. Embassy's press spokesman in Havana says that two British businessmen who were tried in recent weeks on corruption charges have been freed.
The men are Amado Fakhre, who was executive director of the Coral Capital company, and Stephen Purvis, who was chief of operations.
They were arrested two years ago in an anti-corruption crackdown by President Raul Castro's government.
Embassy spokesman Rhys Patrick said Thursday they were released this week.
Coral Capital partnered with government entities on hotel management and represented automobile companies in Cuba until it was shuttered in 2011.
Government officials have not released information about the men's court hearing in late May, which was closed to the news media.

Dear Sir, released in 1995, marked singer-songwriter Chan Marshall as one Power-ful Cat -- but as the years wore on, she proved to be a relatively sedentary one, as well. On disc after disc after disc, her spare arrangements and tenderly purred vocals came to both define and entrap her.
Fortunately, The Greatest provides Marshall with a way out. Throughout the CD, she's accompanied by Memphis sidemen such as Teenie and Flick Hodges, who played on many of Al Green's '70s classics. Their soulful grooves add instrumental color to "Living Proof" and other compositions that she probably would have handled monochromatically on previous platters. As a result, "Hate," a tune rendered with trademark simplicity, stands out instead of bleeding into everything else.
Yes, Marshall's lyrics are as confessional and compelling as ever, but her performances have a looser-than-normal feel; on "Empty Shell," a country-style weeper, she almost seems to be having fun. Her willingness to change turns The Greatest into a creative rebirth -- and it didn't even cost one of her lives.

This place has moved all over town since the '30s after floods, being hit by a train and god knows what else but they have always turned out great dogs on super fresh rolls for a great price. People used to swim the Delaware River to have dogs and then swim home. It was always worth the trip.
For $1.25 you get a decent dog. Outside picnic tables gives you a nice view of the Delaware River. Other than that, it's pretty much a take out window with a couple of tables inside.
It is a hot dog place. They put a pickle spear on it - other then that, nothing special. I have had better hot dogs at other places. This place was small and it was rushed service at a walk up counter. I don't get all the hype about this place.
It's a hot dog. They were good, as hot dogs go. The fries were over cooked - for me. My husband LOVES this place. I didn't get it. I didn't get the appeal at all. I thought the workers in the "booth" were a bit rude, and impatient with people.
If you want a good hot dog, this will do....
JIMMY'S is the BEST in the Valley!!!! I have had many different hotdogs in my life, and none can compare to Jimmy's!!!! Everything is great about this dog....the bun is not soggy, it's just right everytime!!! The pickle, the onions, the hotdog, and the mustard are made to perfection. I've had many hotdog's where the bun is soggy and the...
Best damn hotdogs around. I love the way you order and watch them prepare them. I normally order 3 with everything for myself each time. So great mustard, onions pickle, can't get any better!! CASH ONLY
I was raised on Jimmy's hot dogs. My dad used to bring them home when I was a kid. In those days the hot dog stand was next to the free bridge in Phillipsburg, NJ. Hot dog buns came in a lightweight white box and if you bought enough dogs they served them to you in that box. I have...
Jimmy's hot dogs are known to be the best. I grab a couple wen I'm in area. Very nice service, not pricey, sometimes slow but its worth the wait.
After hearing all the hype about Jimmy's from my local friends in the Easton area i decided to check it out passing threw Easton one day, I was beyond disappointed, the atmosphere is dingy and unkempt, service was slow and bread was soggy.
I can remember going to Jimmy's across the river with my Grandparents when I was little and it's still a treat today. You simply must try their dogs. The flavor is unique in a way we can't match at home. We order extra on purpose to have another treat the following day. Oh, and you have to pay in cash,...

There's nothing like a new look to help you get over an ex.
And it looks like Stacy Keibler did just that in the wake of her split with George Clooney.
The host of Supermarket Superstar looks dramatically different on the cover of the fall issue of 'Line" magazine. In the cover photograph, Keibler, 33, wears a dress that plunges to her waist with her hair teased in a wild up-do and her eyes and lips darkly accentuated.

Stacy Keibler is ready for the next segment of her life, which she hopes will include a fun-loving and honest leading man.
When The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne asked the Supermarket Superstar host, 33, what she was looking for in a guy, she cited the importance of authenticity and spontaneity.
"I just want someone who is authentic and genuine, who has integrity," Keibler said. "[Someone who] can really make fun of themselves, live life, be spontaneous."

TV host Stacy Keibler says that her so-called desire to be married was not to blame for her recent split with George Clooney.
The couple, who confirmed their break-up last week, had dated for two years.
"Actually, everyone that knows me thinks that's the funniest story," Keibler, 33, told Good Morning America"'s Elizabeth Vargas on Wednesday, shooting down reports that it was her desire for motherhood and marriage that caused the breakup.
"That's the last thing on my mind," Keibler said. "I don't really think about that right now. We didn't discuss that."

George who?
Stacy Keibler isn't letting her recent "friendly" breakup with George Clooney slow her down. In fact, she's already back in the saddle.
The Supermarket Superstar host, 33, was spotted out riding a bright yellow bike by Solé Bicycle Co. on Saturday in Los Angeles. And she had a big smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Clooney, 52, was last spotted laughing it up over drinks in Italy, where he owns a sprawling villa in posh Lake Como.

Everyone is better looking when they smile, and the recently single-again George Clooney is no exception.
Spending his summer in Italy – he owns a sprawling villa in posh Lake Como where he frequently hosts friends – the 52-year-old movie star was spotted hopping a boat with a few companions and heading to a leisurely lunch.
The party of seven shared some laughs in the shade, and the star, who will star in the upcoming thriller Gravity with Sandra Bullock, even thanked the chef before the group departed.
Talk about dolce vita!

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler have split.
The couple, who began dating two years ago, apparently want different things in life.
"Stacy called it quits. She wants to have children and a family someday. She knows where George stands on that," a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE exclusively. "They talked and they quietly stopped being a couple several weeks ago."

Even on the arm of beau George Clooney, Stacy Keibler manages to steal the spotlight (with her smile alone!).
But leave it to a dog to upstage the leggy blonde.
"I got #photobombed by a belly-flopping dog!" she wrote on Instagram, sharing a shot of the four-legged offender she met at the weekend's GoPro Mountain Games, a Colorado sporting event.

Sometimes he responds with humor, sometimes with silence. This time it was with a touch of anger.
George Clooney on Wednesday strongly denied a report he was holding hands with a model described as a former flame over the weekend in London while he was away from girlfriend Stacy Keibler.
"The story is made up. I wasn't holding anybody's hand," the actor tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Stop trying to sell magazines by creating scandal that isn't there."

In the Absence Of Sun Lyrics - Duncan Sheik
Review The Song (3)
For all the good you say it does,
It seems no better when you've had your say.
You may believe it's just because
The words get colder when you've gone away.
I thought I understood what I was to you.
I don't want to feel this way, no,
I don't want to say I'm just a friend.
I don't want to wait around here
'Cause you don't want to feel no pain again.
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves.
Some may fear committed lives.
I sure am one of them without you.
Does it come to you as some surprise
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you?
Was it ever, girl, something you could hold?
I don't want to feel this way, no,
I don't want to say I'm just a friend.
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again.
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves.
I don't want to look away.
I don't want to be the one denied.
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone somewhere told you lies.
We don't talk about it.
We just become shadows of ourselves.

The 1st time i heard this song is when i watch Val Kilmer's "The Saint". Yes indeed, this is one of OST. This lyric, i think it's more like loosing control of our feeling or ourself. There is (almost) no way forgetting someone the once we love (sincerly). The only one way out is, try find someone who is better than the last....
For me it's a great song writing (Music and Lyrics) and beautiful memories (1997)

The best lyrics for a song!! | Reviewer: Scorpio Boy | 6/17/2007
All that he says in it, nobody could express in another way. The best way in forgetting someone is forget both selves! But, Who could?
this man is a genius | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/8/2005
this jeff buckley, nick drake inspired gentleman writes in a way that takes you on a journey. exciting and cranial but still accessable. this song is a perfect example of that writing. enjoy

I know, I know, full article, blah blah, but this is the start of something historical! We have to archive it!
Jason Wilde
GREEN BAY – The line, delivered with perfect comedic timing, brought the house down.
"That was awkward."
But to hear the man who uttered that phrase – Aaron Rodgers – tell it, the whole thing was anything but. What his on-stage appearance with fellow NFL MVP quarterback Brett Favre was for the Green Bay Packers organization and its fans, Rodgers said, was necessary. And a long time coming.
Rodgers said Tuesday that his aborted on-stage hug with his predecessor during the NFL Honors event last Saturday night in New Orleans was all part of the schtick, and that the two talked fairly extensively before presenting the Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year award to Peyton Manning.
Rodgers also said his hope is that their joint appearance is first step in Favre reconciling with the franchise he came to represent for 16 NFL seasons before the two sides' ugly divorce in the summer of 2008.
"As the face of the franchise now, (it's) a role that I take very seriously. I have the responsibility and enjoy having the opportunity to represent my team," Rodgers said on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com. "I think it's important to realize that it is time to probably time to move forward."
Rodgers said it all started with the suggestion by the NFL Honors producers that he and Favre jointly present an award. The producers approached Rodgers a little over a week before the event to take his temperature on whether he'd be willing to share the stage with Favre, whom he backed up with the Packers from 2005 through 2007.
Rodgers has always said that while he and Favre had a chilly relationship that first season, he felt as though he and Favre became friends the final two years. Then came Favre's retirement, unretirement, trade to the New York Jets and subsequent two-year run with the archrival Minnesota Vikings in 2009 and 2010. During that time, he and Favre didn't talk, other than exchanging handshakes after Packers-Vikings games.
But after the NFL Honors producers approached him with the idea, and Rodgers thought about it, he decided it would be good for all involved.
"They pitched to me this idea of presenting with Brett, just to see how I would feel about it. And I thought about it for a little bit, but I really felt strongly that it was going to be a good thing for both of us and for Packer Nation," Rodgers said.
Rodgers said he and Favre spoke before the event – "It was good to be able to talk to Brett on the phone and then spend some time with him," he said – but didn't delve too deeply into their conversations.
Asked if he and Favre had to talk through a few things before he agreed to do it, Rodgers replied, "Not really. It didn't take a lot of coaxing for me to want to do. I did want to sit and think about it and make sure it was the right thing to do, but I really feel very secure in my position with the team and feel very good about the things we've been able to accomplish in my five years as the starter and feel good about the direction the organization is going in.
"Brett is two years removed from the game, and he's going to be obviously going to be in the Packers Hall of Fame, he'll get his number retired and will be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the next few years. It's important, I think, to make sure that he's recognized for all the accomplishments he's achieved in our organization especially, he's very dear to many of our fans still and the things he's done on the field for the Packers, you can never take that away. As the face of the franchise, I felt like it was important that I take a leadership role in that – not that one was needed now, but I thought it was good timing to just let the fans know, let Brett know, let's move forward. Let's heal things up and let's move forward."
During an appearance on the NFL Network's pregame show for Super Bowl XLVII, Favre had said that he didn't feel uncomfortable, either.
"It wasn't awkward. We had had some laughs prior to going out," Favre said during a 90-minute appearance on the network. "Aaron's had up to this point an unbelievable career. (That) goes without saying. I'm proud of what I've done. There isn't (any) ill feelings. There isn't. There might be from other people. That was a way of kind of (a way to) squash it all."
Asked if he had any feelings toward Favre that he had to get over, Rodgers said with age has come perspective. With 14-year veteran wide receiver Donald Driver set to formally retire on Wednesday in a ceremony in the Lambeau Field atrium, Rodgers will become the team's longest-tenured player, and with that comes wisdom.
"I'm not going to get a whole lot into that. I'm going to pull a Mark McGwire line here and say, 'I'm not here to talk about the past,'" Rodgers said of any negative feelings he may have had toward Favre. "I feel like it's important to move forward. Again, I feel great about where I'm at in my career and the things we've been able to accomplish as a team, and personally. I think when you get older in this league, and now as Donald (Driver) is going to retire here tomorrow, I'm going to be the longest tenured Packer, which is crazy to think about. Really, only eight years ago, I was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and now I've seen a lot of guys come and go.
"It makes you think about what your legacy is going to be and how you want to be remembered and as I move forward, hopefully we can lock something up in the next couple years and keep me in Green Bay for my career. But I think about how I want to be remembered. And this is one thing I really want to move forward with and embrace, as I am very secure with my spot on this team and my place."
As for the exchange itself, Rodgers said he and Favre had worked with producers on a few different pseudo-hugs to end the bit.
"Part of that was scripted, part of it was ad-libbed, but we had a good time with it and enjoyed that time," Rodgers said. "Scripts are always changing, and often the best – as I found out in my small body of work with the commercials I've done – often the best lines are the ones that are a little ad-libbed and it's just kind of a natural reaction.
"We had talked about the lines a number of times and how we wanted to do it, and then we'd kind of thought about doing a little hug and then saying, 'Ah, nah, too soon,' making a joke about that. I thought that was what we were going to do, but then Brett didn't really come in for the hug, so it was kind of an in-between thing.
"As I look back now, the irony of me saying, 'That was awkward' was, to some people watching, they might think that was (in fact) awkward. But I really had a good time seeing him and getting to talk to him and catch up and there was nothing awkward about that moment for the two of us. We had talked on the phone and we had also spent time before the show, a good amount of time talking, talking about the script and catching up. So that moment, a lot of people have written stuff about (how) it was an awkward moment. (But) that's kind of the joke in that statement. There wasn't a lot of awkwardness in that moment for Brett and I. I hope the fans enjoyed it and got a little laugh out of the stuff."
If things work out as Rodgers hopes they do for Favre and the franchise, fans will get a lot more than a little laugh out of it in the years to come. Asked if he discussed the idea with coach Mike McCarthy or general manager Ted Thompson before agreeing to the appearance, Rodgers suggested that he had not.
"I'm not really going to talk about any interactions. There wasn't really any, but the team obviously knew about it," Rodgers said. "I think as an organization, we're ready to move forward.
"Mike has done an incredible job in his seven years here of setting direction and leading, and Ted Thompson drafted me. I think he took a lot of heat early on in his career, but I think people can see the skills that he has in evaluating talent, bringing in new guys every year who contribute, and I think he's very confident in his abilities and proud of the things he's been able to accomplish.
"I can't speak for everybody, but I can speak for myself, saying I'm ready to move forward as far as things go with Brett. I think this was a good thing for our team, a good thing for our organization and hopefully they feel the same way, Packers fans feel the same way. Things happen, and I think it's important to move forward and for the healing process to begin."
"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything." - Nikola Tesla

Oh and I don't want to say I told ya so but "Rodgers has always said that while he and Favre had a chilly relationship that first season, he felt as though he and Favre became friends the final two years." The media dilwads would rather everyone believe they hate one another. You don't invite someone you hate to dinner with you and your wife after you threw an interception to lose the NFC championship game in over time.

I expected Aaron Rodgers to say he is ready to move forward and let the healing begin but it has appeared to me that in the last few years Brett is the one who has been in a bit of a pout and holding back.
Anyone who thinks the interaction between the 2 of them was really awkward for them and not scripted is just silly.

I'm more concerned about Aaron getting over his obsession with every little sleight he's experienced than I am about Brent getting over his ego.
Brent's ego no longer effects our win/loss column.

Much of life is consumed by waiting. Waiting to be united with one's beloved. To fully delight in a person's presence. The process of waiting can be slow and lengthy. Sometimes finding the way to unite with one another is challenging.
Our human relationships and built in longings point to an even greater reality. A sacrificial love that is all-consuming, life-giving, and full of truth. Some of us have experienced a fraction of this and crave more. Some of us have yet to find and rest in the one who cares for us more deeply than we can imagine.
Jesus speaking to his closest followers, said, "Let not your hearts be troubled." He desires for us to not experience the anxiety, emptiness, broken, and lonely pursuits that can consume our lives. Thankfully, Jesus does not leave us without a way to reconcile with God and experience ideal human flourishing, rescuing us from our ruptured relationship with him, failures, and shortcomings. Thomas, asks Jesus, "How can we know the way?", and Jesus responds, offering himself as the solution: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
When we pour over the words of Jesus and abide in him daily, we will grow in our love for him. Not only this, but we will come to realize just how extravagant the lengths Jesus goes to gather us to himself.
Read John 13:31 – 14:14 and think about the words of Jesus and how you can respond.

Review this tv show
Jan 13, 2011This season is definitely an improvement from the 4th one. It is very funny, but it features some rather good character development, especially with Will, Grace and Karen. Jack is still more or less a caricature, but he still does his job excellently. With witty situations, as well as hilarious ones, Will & Grace definitely keeps to entertain its audience. There are more 'real life' situations that are put forward in this season and they feel more grounded than some of the previous, hilarious, yet rather improbable situations.
Very good guest stars, also, make this season a lot of fun to watch. Maybe a tat too much focus on Leo and Grace's relationship for my taste, but overall another excellent season of one of the best comedy shows around!… Collapse

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker is calling on the Wisconsin Legislature to pass a bill next year to repeal the Common Core educational standards.
Walker issued a one-line statement late Thursday that also said they should be replaced by standards "set by people in Wisconsin."
Walker, a potential presidential candidate in two years, joins some other prominent Republicans in calling for the standards to be spiked. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was first to sign legislation revoking Common Core in April. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed executive orders blocking tests tied to the standards.

Geospatial information analysis normally requires pretty complex calculations and transformations between different representation types. The Google Maps APIs are a great tool because they hide all the complexity of these operations. However when the geospatial information that you need to analyse is not from Google Maps, things get more complicated.
Operations like finding polygons representing geographical places, or finding polygons that intercept other polygons, require a lot of time and intricate code to have any acceptable solution.
At Shine we are working on a solution for a big telecommunication customer that requires being able to query large geospatial databases without degrading performance.

Adobe Powers Mobile App Production for Leading Corporate Brands
Senior Marketing Leaders Across Geographies and Industries Select Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to Engage Stakeholders with Apps
After making great strides in the publishing industry over the past few years, Adobe is proud to announce that Digital Publishing Suite is now also powering mobile app production for some of the world's best-known brands. Given its rapid uptake, DPS has become the professional standard for quickly and cost-effectively creating tablet and smartphone apps to help companies engage customers, employees, and other stakeholders through digital channels.
"If you're a senior marketing leader looking to engage audiences on tablets and smartphones, Digital Publishing Suite offers your team the opportunity to create apps that look amazing for much less than native app development," says Nick Bogaty, Head of Digital Publishing, Adobe. "It's exciting to see the many ways brands and organizations are using Digital Publishing Suite to produce apps that quickly engage their customers and employees with compelling content on popular mobile devices."
Industry leaders producing public-facing apps to drive brand engagement, launch products, and strengthen relationships with consumers include Arsenal FC, Audi of America, Bass Pro Shops, Ball State University, Buffalo Bills/NFL, Casa/JWT (a WPP company), Celebrity Cruises, Deloitte Consulting LLP, Lowe's, Raymond James Financial, Syracuse University, UCLA Anderson School of Management, University of Notre Dame, and more.
"With Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, we very quickly created a high-quality app that showcases our cruising destinations with rich images and interactivity," said Lisa Z. Kauffman, vice president of marketing at Celebrity Cruises. "The app makes it fun and easy for customers to interact with our brand and explore our cruise ships and destinations, resulting in more engaged customers and an increase in bookings. Best of all, because we rely on Adobe for the app and technology infrastructure, we can focus our attention on creating compelling travel marketing content."
In addition to public facing apps available through mobile marketplaces, many global brands are also creating and updating sales enablement and internal communications apps using DPS. These apps are made available internally through a corporate intranet or mobile device management solution or through restricted distribution capabilities to specific external audiences. Customers engaging their employees and affiliates through these private apps include Remy Cointreau, Sotheby's International Realty, and Specialized Bicycle Components.
"Using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, we produced a sales enablement app and made it available to our reps through private publishing," said Alexandre Page-Relo, global chief technology officer for Remy Cointreau. "Now, our sales reps always have up-to-date sales sheets, product information, and sales calculators in an interactive format, right at their fingertips. The return on investment of not having to print materials that are quickly outdated has been phenomenal."

Time Inc. Joins Top 5 Publishers on Adobe DPS
The largest consumer magazine publishers in the world are powered by Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
Adobe is excited to announce that Time Inc. is publishing Real Simple to the Apple App store using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS). With launch of this app, Adobe now powers mobile and tablet apps to the top five largest consumer magazine publishers in North America who collectively deliver content to over 200 million readers[1] in North America. Time Inc. now joins Meredith, Hearst, Condé Nast, and Reader's Digest, all of whom are partnering with Adobe to digitally publish magazines as apps for iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire and other leading Android tablets and devices. With support from Adobe, these leading publishers are demonstrating innovation through stand-out mobile applications that have been lauded for their high quality design and extended consumer engagement.
The publishing industry has undergone considerable transformation in the last three years. With the initial launch of WIRED on the iPad, a cascade of applications have followed Condé Nast in publishing highly regarded magazine and newspaper applications to a variety of tablet and smartphone devices using Adobe DPS.
Reading behavior of magazine and newspaper apps continue to be shaped as we move into 2013. However, Digital Publishing Suite applications are setting the standard for excellence in readership. A recent report from iMonitor shows that the top five apps to achieve a perfect iMonitor app rating were built with DPS. These apps were highly scored because they are "easy to navigate and appropriately leverage the iPad's capabilities to both fully engage their users and to expand upon the service typically provided by more traditional media forms."
In the last 12 months, there have been over 50M issues downloaded from applications created with DPS. Additionally, data from these applications indicates that users are willing to pay for digital content with over 60% of readers purchasing an application as a single issue or a digital subscription.
The successes go on. National Geographic recently stated that they are expecting to exceed their goal of 300,000 paid digital readers before the end of the year. Hearst has over 1M digital readers and continues to grow. Rodale recently noted that they predict that Men's Health will surpass 100,000 paid digital readers this year. While still small compared to print circulations, digital circulation will continue to climb as the number of tablets and smartphones accelerates. Case in point, roughly 1 in every 2 adults in the US is expected to have a tablet by 2013 (117.4MM users).[2] That is a lot of potential magazine and newspaper readers.
Adobe is proud to be working with many of the world's most renowned publishers. Our goal is to empower publishing companies with innovative tools, technology, workflows and support to ensure their brands can be designed and delivered to readers where and when they want to engage with their content.

Authoring Guidelines for the New iPad
The release of the new iPad has created quite a stir in the publishing community, and designers are eager to learn best practices for delivering high quality content for all versions of the iPad. Colin Fleming and the designers at Adobe have provided several resources for publishing to the new iPad. Fleming wrote a white paper, Best practices for using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to publish to the new iPad, which was updated this week. In addition, he hosted an Ask a Pro session on Friday, April 6th. These recommendations are written with the intent of helping designers work most efficiently: to build the highest quality display with minimal effort.
The Basics
Before you dive into our recording of Fleming's Ask a Pro session or open up the white paper, it's helpful to understand the three basic rules of publishing to the new iPad.
1. Create your articles in PDF format
Compared to raster formats like PNG, the PDF file type results in smaller folio file sizes.
2. Use renditions
Build folios with the same folio name at both 1024 and 2048 resolutions; these different sizes of the same folio are known as renditions. When renditions are used in multi-folio apps, Content Viewer will detect the correct folio size according to the device size, and only the correct folio size will be downloaded to the device.
3. Rebuild the branded app using Viewer Builder and publish
Rebuild your branded app in Viewer Builder using high-resolution app icons and UI assets so that your brand assets look crisp on the retina display. Also make sure you publish both renditions (1024 and 2048) before sending push notifications.
The white paper contains information on:
- Working with overlays to minimize file size
- Building renditions
- Managing metadata
- Creating assets for both resolutions in Viewer Builder

Vogue Launches on the New iPad!
Vogue, built with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, was released on the new iPad on Friday. It's apropos that Vogue would be a trendsetter and lead the publishing industry into the new iPad era. Both fashion and publishing build their business on stunning photography, which is enhanced by the new iPad's retina display. With four times the pixel density, it makes every image pop: runway shots that exhibit vibrant displays of cutting edge fashion, rich and colorful video of Jennifer Lopez's cover shoot, captivating photographs by Annie Leibovitz, and crisp typography throughout. Also, after I downloaded it on my new iPad, the folio installed incredibly fast.
When you open up the app on the new iPad, check out the ads. Tablet ads are already worth more, because of the audience that they reach and the type of content that they sit alongside. The rich colors in Revlon makeup ads are eye catching, drawing in the attention of a premium audience. The crystal clear, backlit Versace image has a veritable glow.
Below is screenshot of the Jennifer Lopez video, followed by a comparison of two images: one with the iPad 2 (top) and one with the new iPad (bottom). Check out the resolution on the typography. This level of detail, even in the photo captions, gives the layout an even cleaner, crisper look and feel.
Stay tuned. We'll talk more about Vogue on the new iPad this week, and what this means for the publishing industry. In the meantime…

Digital Publishing Suite to support the new iPad
With today's new iPad announcement, we're hearing excitement from our publishing customers about taking advantage of the high-definition retina display and faster processing capabilities of Apple's new device. When the new iPad ships, Digital Publishing Suite customers will have support for these new features in the Adobe Content Viewer. This means you'll be able to display stunning, full-bleed, immersive publications using every pixel of the 2048 x 1536 display with richer color saturation using Adobe Content Viewer technology. When the newest build of Content Viewer is approved in the Apple App Store, these features will be supported in all published new iPad applications.
What's more, Digital Publishing Suite customers will be able to take advantage of the faster processing capabilities enabled by the new iPad's Apple A5X processor — especially important when delivering video to engage readers. With video comprising nearly 20% of all interactivity in Digital PublishingSuite-produced apps (among other stats we released last week), publishers will be able to engage, inform and entertain their readers with faster video and other types of interactivity rendered with Adobe Content Viewer on the new iPad.
Using Digital Publishing Suite, traditional media and corporate publishers along with ad agencies and brand organizations can produce compelling content for the new iPad using existing designer skillsets within their organization. Combining iPad support with integrated analytics and advanced entitlement capabilities in Enterprise Edition, Digital Publishing Suite is the end-to-end solution for publishers serious about inspiring their audiences – and driving business results.

viking range with griddle--how to clean it?
Does anyone have the viking with griddle? I was wondering how you clean it and is it hard to clean? It doesn't look like it comes off (maybe I'm incorrect) but I was wondering if things stick and how hard it is to get stuff off of it.
Restaurants have a thing called a 'grill brick' to clean flat top grills. You can find them all over the web, usually 12 to a case. We just use carbonated water (soda water) and a grill brick while the grill is still hot, and everything scrapes right off.
My griddle is a lovely black from almost constant use. I rarely do a huge clean-up on it, preferring to use a bit of water on the still hot griddle and simply scrape off the accumulated crud. After almost five years, nothing, absolutely nothing sticks on ole faithful - much like a well-used and much-loved cast iron skillet. The local health dept. hasn't beaten down my door yet and until they do, I'll continue with my benign neglect. OK, I will admit to a very occasional spurt of cleanliness but try to resist these shortcomings by hiding the stone. Love the griddle and use it frequently.
i have this same issue with my Viking Griddle. i have forward this question to them directly and attached your complaints/requests for assistance as well.
i hope they can assist with this irritating issue.
The griddle is NOT SS, it is a more like a "carbon steel skillet" and as such needs to have a seasoning on it or it will rust.
Food can stick to it, especially if the seasoning is not uniform and/or the griddle is used infrequently, so I tell folks that are on the fence about how much they'll use it to consider how often they currently do the sort of cooking best suited to this surface.
Viking sells a kit with some solvent type cleaner in it, for those how want to strip down their griddle an/or have maid get everything shiny, but then you have to reseason all over again --
http://www.vikingrange.com/MEDIA_Cust... (last section of PDF is griddle care...)
- 1- Mix 1tsp baking soda (arm & hammer pure sodium bicarbonate) with 8oz lukewarm water.
- 2 - Pour a dash on the blackest part of the griddle while still warm (but not hot enough to burn you) and rub with a paper towel
- 3 - Repeat step 2 until the griddle is clean or your solution is all used up
I have a terrible time cleaning my griddle! I've tried seasoning it - but it always leaves a sticky oily mess that is near impossible ot clean!
I'm frustrated with it - having spent this much money for the thing in the first place!
Does someone have a suggestion that I'm overlooking?
I used to have a Wolf with a 24inX24in griddle. It was very heavy but would lift off. It's carbon steel, so needs to be seasoned and maintained like any other carbon steel such as a wok. For routine cleaning I'd use the griddle brick on it while hot, wipe it down, and rub some clean lard into it. Once in a while if it got really icky I'd take it outside and really work it over and hose it off. Got a lot of good use out of that griddle and really miss it.
re: Jim Washburn
Thanks for your input. Maybe I don't know how to season it. Give me some guidance, please! You could even send it to my e-mail addres directly - firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks! I'd appreciate it. I just spend a couple of hours getting the gook sticky oil residue off. Used vinegar and water...vinegar and baking soda and lots of elbow grease. What a pain!!
re: g.knox
I would recommend taking it outside to get the packing grease off. Once you get that off you have bare metal exposed to air, and it will start to corrode very quickly. You've got to get it dry and get some grease on it fast. Then get it good and hot and start rubbing grease into it. This will not be pleasant work. If you're not careful you can burn yourself, and the grease will smoke like hell. Cheap grocery-store hydrogenated lard is great for this. You wouldn't ever want to cook with it, but for seasoning cast iron or carbon steel cooking vessels it is excellent. Don't let grease pool on the hot surface. Keep wiping (carefully) so you just have a thin layer of grease everywhere. Do this for a half hour or even an hour if you can stand it. Turn off the fire and let the griddle cool off. Repeat a time or two at your convenience. Then you will have a good initial seasoning and can start cooking. Yeah, it's work, but was well worth it for me. Especially when I'd have company for breakfast, I could have the griddle covered with bacon and eggs and pancakes. Great fun and very efficient. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask me more questions. I'll be delighted if I can help you enjoy your griddle.
re: g.knox
I stumbled upon this very late in the game but I did want to say I have what I think is a great, easy method to clean my viking griddle and keep it seasoned. If food gets stuck on it--which it usually doesn't--I use plain old kosher salt and a paper towel to scrub it off. (No water.) Then, after every use, I put a little olive oil (lard if I have it) on the griddle while it's still hot. I let it sink in for five minutes or so, and then wipe it off with a towel so there's a nice, thin even layer. This keeps the grill free of food but still seasoned. I think I first found this method on MarthaStewart.com for cast iron skillets, and it works great for my griddle as well. Oh, one other thing: I don't use anything with acid on the griddle as that takes off the seasoning. This would include, for example lemon, vinegar, and tomatoes.
1. For first time use, scrub the surface of the griddle with room temperature
club soda using a Scotch Brite® (blue) soft scour pad.
2. After using the griddle, always remove the drip pan located below it by
pulling the drip pan toward you. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each
use. Cooked off grease will drain from the griddle through the drain tube and
accumulate in the drip pan. Wash the pan in hot soapy water or with any
kitchen cleaner. If grease is permitted to accumulate, a fire hazard
could occur, since the griddle burners are directly above the pan.
3. Using a spatula, scrape food particles down into drain tube. Flush the surface of a warm griddle
(200ºF/93ºC) with room temperature club soda and wipe entire surface with a paper towel. Coat
lightly with cooking oil.
4. Using hot soapy water to clean the griddle will remove the cooked-in seasoning and will require
re-seasoning by coating lightly with cooking oil.
IMPORTANT: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water! This promotes griddle warping and can
cause the griddle to crack if continued over a period of time.
• For heavy duty cleaning, Viking Range Corporation offers a Griddle Cleaning Kit. This fast and
easy commercial grade cleaning system will clean your griddle in a matter of minutes. To order,
contact your local Viking dealer or Viking Range Corporation at the number given below.
Clean greasy parts with a household grease
solvent such as household ammonia and
water. If necessary, a soap filled steel wool
pad can be used on the grill grate support.

visiting montreal, byob?
- t
- tartetatin Nov 30, 2006 08:11 PM
I am going to be in Montreal and am wondering about byob restaurants. Is is only restaurants without licences that can be byob? How can I tell if a restaurant is byob? I have read that beer is ok too. Is that right? Is there always a corkage fee? Does anyone know a good link for finding a list of places online, as I won't be going until next weekend and want to make plans. Have been to byob places before but not in Montreal. Sorry to bombard with questions, any help would be appreciated.
Restaurants have to have a BYOB license. Here's a guide, not very up to date though, that will help you find the restaurants. http://english.montrealplus.ca/featur...
Some are missing, like A L'Os, O'Thym, Chez Christophe and a newer italian place on St-Laurent (where there's a corkage fee). As for corkage, except for the italian place, I don't think most restaurants charge it. Some allow beer, call them to make sure they do.
Some of the best places are La Colombe, O'Thym, Blue Raisin, le P'tit Plateau, Chez Christophe, Pégase, Yoyo, les Héritiers...
re: Campofiorin
Just to clarify, the Italian place is 55° and is not truly BYOB. They sell wine at SAQ prices plus a small flat markup.
To further clarify, if a place has a full liquor license, you can't bring your own. If it's BYOB, corkage is not allowed but food often costs a little more than comparable fare at a licensed place.
re: Campofiorin
Thanks for the info. I was always under the impression that corkage is illegal for true BYOB. Some people call it "corkage" when their wine list is SAQ price + flat markup, and that's legal.
re: Campofiorin
La Chesterman's review confirms that Apollo is a BYO with corkage but says the fee has been cut to $5 a bottle. Will have to check out the applicable laws and regulations.
FWIW, she also gave the place 1 1/2 stars.
You can bring beer now, but not hard liquor. Yoyo is really one of the best, but their prices have went up lately. There's a small place on Masson called Le zeste de folie which is really good.
Having lived in Montreal about 5 years ago, L'Academie (St Denis and Duluth) was one of our favorite BYOB places, as it was slightly more elegant than the typical Montreal BYOB experience. There was also a small Italian place around the corner on Duluth that didn't even seem to mark up their food to compensate for the lost alcohol profit, so that was another favorite.
re: crotch
I think the small Italian place you mean is Eduardo's. It's good.
I would have to disagree with the person who posted about the restaurant l'Académie. You have to wait in line a long time for really ordinary food. I went once and never went back there. There's an afghan place on Duluth, between St-Denis and St-Hubert, which is quite good. Don't be afraid of the word afghan because there are accessible dishes everyone will like. It is called Khyber pass and it is BYOW. You can eat under 20$ and eat very well.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, very helpful. I am in Montreal often and will be able to try some of the places mentioned in the next several months.

Q From Henry de Souza: Can you tell me the origin of the word patient?
A I take it you mean the medical sense? Actually, the noun meaning a person who is being treated for some illness or injury is closely related to the adjective relating to a capacity for calm waiting. The original is the Latin verb pati, to suffer (from which we also get passion and passive, by the way), through the participle form patientem, for one who is suffering. In Latin this word took on the extra sense of somebody who suffers their afflictions with calmness and composure, hence longsuffering or forbearing, all ideas intimately tied up with our word patience. The medical sense of the word was present in English right from its first recorded use by Chaucer near the end of the fourteenth century. Down the years, the adjective and the noun have moved apart somewhat in meaning, so hearing a person described as being patient doesn't now immediately evoke medical associations.

Slumming it in the Kitchen
- Father Kitchen Oct 14, 2011 06:13 PM
It was my turn to cook yesterday in our monastery and I had a nice meal planned around French onion soup using Michael Ruhlman's brothless recipe from Lyon. A change in meal time sabotaged plans, as I had only a short time after evening services to get the meal on the table. I opted instead to slum it and, horrors, cook chicken breasts in a crock pot with the old standards of cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, and wine. The community loved it--but all I could taste was MSG. And the carrots from frozen on the side tasted weird to me. (Do frozen carrots always taste weird?) I wished I had made Kraft macaroni and cheese and had fried slices of Spam with brown sugar and cloves--takes me back to Guam in the late forties, or Mom's "slum gullion" sloppy Joes made with ground chuck and chicken gumbo soup. It made me wonder, what are the fall back menus for people when there is no time or desire to do anything really good. How do other busy cooks go slumming in the kitchen?
Father Kitchen you aren't alone, I've made that same chicken dish you made in the crockpot only I threw in a cup of rice and baked it in the oven. Back in the day when my kids were little this was my "emergency no time to cook and watch them" dish.
Another popular favorite is what folks in Massachusetts call "American Chop Suey." This was my mom's "crazy day feed the kids" meal, and I have to admit I like it too: Brown ground beef, drain, add stewed tomatoes. When you're getting ready for dinner, add cooked elbow macaroni, and yes it MUST be elbow macaroni. Pour into a casserole dish and top with whatever cheese you have lying around. Bake till bubbly.
re: TrishUntrapped
My family loves American chop suey--but even easier, I brown the meat and onions, add tomatoes, add box of pasta uncooked, a little extra broth (or water) and cook and stir occasionally. This was my friend's Boston version.
re: chowser
Ya gotta love Yankee ingenuity...
re: TrishUntrapped
Oh my gosh! My mother used to make American Chop Suey all the time when we were kids - I'd always wondered why no one else had ever heard for it - I was raised in Wisconsin and now live in New York. But my mother's from Massachusetts. THAT explains it! :)
re: Krislady
That's funny Chris! American Chop Suey was one of the few school lunches I liked. Even the cafeteria workers couldn't mess it up.
re: TrishUntrapped
Thank God I learned to love it as hamburger casserole rather than American Chop Suey- the name weirds me out. It really does.
re: EWSflash
Around Albany they have the nerve to call the stuff goulash! When I first moved here I was surprised to find "goulash" on the menu in a diner. I ordered it and what arrived was not a happy surprise. It wasn't that it was terrible- but it sure wasn't goulash.
Late night rotisserie chicken at the market, still under the heat lamps but not yet chicken jerky, a dollar off, $4.99. One large sweet onion, a couple poblanos and jalapenos, half a jar of mole sauce, pint of chicken broth, garlic, hamburger buns. You'll figure out the rest for sloppy jose's. I'm not a busy cook but I can still slum it.
re: ipsedixit
What's Chinese pork floss? I picture long-cooked long shreds.
re: EWSflash

Pictures here: http://www.google.com/search?q=chines...
Pasta with whatever is hanging around--arugula, garlic, eggs, cream, onions, peppers, zucchini, proscuitto ends, herbs/parsley--could any or all end up in it with romano or parmigiano grated on top. Of course, leftover tomato sauce could take it in a different direction. Have not had canned soup of any kind in my pantry for 20 years--at least not one you would add to another dish as liquid/sauce.
For emergencies where I want it to be filling and satisfying: garlic/olive oil pasta; add whatever veggies available: onions, tomato, fine-chopped broccoli, zucchini ribbons, snow peas, canned green peas, carrot julienne, etc.; and/or chicken, ground turkey, or sausage if available. Toasted buttered bread alongside.
Or grilled cheese and salad; "fancy" ingredients on the sandwich such as basil, brie, arugula, etc.
(And I know that some on this board have a horror of the canned soup, but I've got a couple laid back in there. It's highly unlikely that the Michelin-star people are going to stop by my house and downgrade me for it.)
You're totally right about carrots. They, unlike spinach, corn or peas, do not take well to freezing. For frozen carrots in the future -- since they have a lot of inherent water, try cooking them from the frozen state in a minimum of stock (chicken or vegetable) so it's not too soupy, then puree everything, add lots of butter, grated cheese (whatever you have -- parm, cheddar, even mozz, or a combination). Serve as a side.
My quick go-to meal is always a frittata. Get home late, head to the kitchen, assemble and stick in oven, 10-15 minutes for other stuff, and dinner's on the table within 30 minutes.
It's a meal we actually look forward too, and it's easily dressed up with sriracha, sides, sauces, fancy cheeses, etc.
Mourn the loss of the planned meal, but don't feel dirty about the quick meal — nourishment important too.
re: odkaty
It's funny, your last sentence. I've been killing myself at work for 2.5 months, and I still plan as though I had so much time when I get home.
Last night (Friday, right? Woo!) I had planned to broil some tofu and make a peanut sauce, and to serve this with roasted tamari carrots and sauteed sesame bok choy. I ended up buying pho because I got home feeling grumpy and achey at about 8.
The slow cooker is great for nights like that, and also who doesn't like walking into an apartment cozy with the aroma of dinner?
re: odkaty
I agree on the frittata. They are great for using up odds and ends of leftovers, too-you can put almost anything in them. I like veggies and cheese in them, bu I've even made them with leftover sloppy joe meat for my husband. Not my personal cup of tea but he liked it. Add a salad or even some frozen peas on the side and you've got yourself a meal.
re: ErnieD
Add a salad or even some frozen peas on the side and you've got yourself a meal.
no need for extra veggies the way i load them into a frittata. and as a bonus, fewer dishes to wash!
same as you but with pork chops, toast with cinnamon sugar and butter if no one else is home ha ha, hot dogs of any sort but especially wrapped in Pillsbury croissants (hey I have not had those for a long long time) ha ha, canned lentil salad with veggies olive oil & balsamic vinaigrette, most things topped with crushed cornflakes.....
this one is probably a little (ok... probably alot) of the bodybuilder coming out in me, but one of my favorite in a pinch meals is:
Can of tuna+cottage cheese+whatever condiments i have laying around (mustard or salsa are good ones!)+chopped veg (especially bell pepper and onion)
mix all that together, spread on some good whole grain bread, top with some cheese, and toast or broil. mmmm
oh, and yes, i make my "tuna salad" with cottage cheese and not mayo. like it much better that way!
re: mattstolz
A can of water packed tuna, real mayo, celery, dills. When I'm in a funk, 1 can of tuna = 1 giant sandwich (toasted whole wheat bread, plenty of lettuce for crunch). Hmm, want one right now.
re: pine time
definitely agree on the celery and dills. love the crunch from them. thats also why i choose bell peppers in mine
re: mattstolz
I've never heard of tuna with cottage cheese, but it sounds great to me. I love cottage cheese and am not such a big fan of mayo. I'll add Old Bay...
re: Terrie H.
it's an old bodybuilding trick to cram in extra protein. and matt's method is spot-on, a quick run under the broiler turns it into a treat.
if you like your food with a kick, try it with a dash of cayenne or sriracha.
re: goodhealthgourmet
haha not only to cram in the protein, but also to lower the fat (significantly if you are talking real mayo vs low fat cottage cheese). normally its also just a good way to take the cheap, dry-your-mouth-out tuna from a can that we eat so often and add something to moisten it up and kick it up a little!
def with you on the addition of sriracha too!
re: mattstolz
Had a friend who always added a finely chopped boiled egg to the tuna mixture--that "more protein" thing--tasted fine, but have never heard of anyone else doing that.
re: pine time
I do, it was alway the way my mother made it. It is really good. But I like a little mayo, too.
re: mattstolz
normally its also just a good way to take the cheap, dry-your-mouth-out tuna from a can that we eat so often and add something to moisten it up and kick it up a little!
vinegar. lots of vinegar. ;)
re: goodhealthgourmet
in tuna? really? for a moment I thought this must be the swiss chard thread..
re: mattstolz
I'll try it. I usually resort to Worcestershire, garlic powder, diced red onion, mayo, and dill with canned tuna. And I'm having difficulty finding Bumble Bee solid white albacore in oil lately.
re: Veggo
a drizzle of good olive oil & a healthy splash of vinegar (sherry, balsamic or red wine). fold in chopped capers, artichoke hearts & sun-dried tomato, minced shallot or red onion & fresh herbs (parsley and/or basil). season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
you can also toss in sliced black olives or roasted red peppers, or even some crumbled feta if you really want to go crazy.
trust me on this.
re: goodhealthgourmet
All that together would make a good salad or sandwich even without any tuna!
re: emglow101
haha for some reason this made me think of a friend of mine in college who literally survived off of premade frozen perogies from sams club for an entire month.
that cant have been good for her.
re: emglow101
This menu was in my mother's rotation back in the 70's and I still make it on occasion. She boiled each item separately and both cabbage and potatoes got a good dose of margarine (don't forget, it was the 70's). We skipped the sour cream/mustard. It's simple, satisfying, quite comforting and dirt cheap to boot.
As someone who only slums in the kitchen because I detest cooking ... can you freeze?
I will spend one day doing the dreaded cooking and then freeze the meals for the week(s).
This doesn't seem your style, but maybe you could freeze a few meals for situations just like you experienced the other night. Then you don't need to resort to canned soup and frozen carrots in an emergency. The stuff still may be frozen, but at least it is something you made from scratch and has quality.
re: Savour
How do you poach eggs in a microwave?
Spaghetti (or fettucine or whatever we got) carbonara. I always have eggs, parmesan and pancetta or bacon. Easy, fast and still feels like dinner.
Egg drop soup
Pho (without browning the meat first, everything just cooked in stock with a pinch of pre-ground pumpkin pie spice)
Grits or oatmeal with an egg cooked in it (I like sriracha, garlic oil, and sesame oil drizzled over the top).
Fake tibs: beef cut in small peices, onion, and some kind of mild hot peppers, just sauteed together. If I'm feeling ambitious I'll also make fake injera: flour, salt, yeast, and add tap water to pancake consistency, cooked like a pancake.
Crepes with something pre-made (ham, or ricotta, or cottage cheese and jam)
Pasta with peas and shrimp, everything cooked together, drained, with Parmesan on top
Sauteed onion and/or garlic mixed with canned beans, chopped ham, and a little tomato
Fried rice if I've got cooked rice
Pasta carbonara, as mentioned, bacon cooked in the toaster oven while the pasta cooks
I got many other fantastic suggestions over here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/786727
Boboli crust for me! I always keep one around. And I can always scrape up some toppping. Cheese is always in the house, maybe there's some red alfredo sauce, maybe just olive oil. Then whatever combo of meat and veggies and herbs that are around that suits me. Chicken and mushrooms, or ham, bacon and pineapple, etc... There's always a new way to top a pizza, and it's all ready in 15 minutes.
Frozen potatoes O'Brien with sliced kielbasa. Fry it up all together. My mom mad this growing up and it was a regular meal for me in college.
you're not alone re: frozen carrots. they've never tasted "right" to me.
as for my personal "slumming" habits, it depends on who's eating. if it's just me, there are nights i can make do with a protein shake...or a jar of almond butter and a spoon ;)
but i did actually slum it one night last week when i made dinner for Mom & Sis for the first time since July. Mom doesn't cook anymore, and the only thing my sister makes is reservations, so i'm in charge of the kitchen and of course the pantry here is stocked with all sorts of things i can't or won't eat - prepared & frozen foods, jarred sauces, pasta & bread. someone's gotta use it all, so one night last week when Mom & Sis actually wanted a meal (as opposed to noshing on junk) and i was finally feeling up to throwing something together for them, i defrosted some store-bought Kobe meatballs i found hiding in the depths of freezer, browned them in a bit of garlic oil, doctored up a jar of tomato sauce from the cupboard, cooked the meatballs in the sauce, seasoned & roasted some fresh broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms & zucchini...and dinner was served. i hated giving them something i hadn't prepared from scratch - particularly since i couldn't even taste the meatballs for seasoning since they contained breadcrumbs - but they enjoyed it.
re: goodhealthgourmet
jar of almond butter and a spoon:
my kind of dinner!!
Surprised that none has mentioned Top Ramen. (6 pkgs./$1). Just add some chopped veggies and chopped leftover beef, pork, chicken, or seafood.
Also fideo soup made with diluted tomato sauce spiced with salt, chile powder, cumin and garlic powder. Add some sauteed finely chopped onion and other veggies. Lightly fry the fideo and boil it in the sauce mixture for 4-5 minutes and it's ready.
I always keep beans frozen , mix em up with a pot of any grain and a few chopped veggies, voila, Dinner!
One of my favorite go-to meals when I'm tired, lazy, or short on time is Hungarian noodles.
Egg noodles with canned mushrooms, cottage cheese, a little sour cream & smoked paprika. Easy, satisfying comfort food. Sometimes I'll add some sauteed onions, or green onions & half a red pepper chopped. Or leftover rotisserie chicken.

Inexpensive Ways to Organize a Garage
Ideas for making the most out of your garage storage space
By Josienita Borlongan
Many people use their garages as storage rooms, instead of a place for their cars. A garage can easily become a dumping ground or a catch-all room for all of the "stuff" people own. If you organize your garage to keep your items neatly stored you can kill two birds with one stone -- you can use your garage to store extra household items and a car or two.
Shelves and Cabinets
Build shelves using particleboard or MDF (medium density fiberboard), and build the shelves in varying depths. Install 12-inch deep shelves on the walls. Build deeper shelves up high to store bigger boxes with rarely used items such as seasonal decorations, toys or boxed tax records and paperwork. Buy inexpensive cabinets available at home improvement stores to hold smaller boxed items, carpentry tools, paint cans and garden tools.
Hooks and Peg-Boards
Hold bicycles, helmets, backpacks and garden hoses using heavy-duty hooks that you can screw into the wall. Hang garden tools, carpentry tools, cords and ropes on Peg-Boards. Purchase these items from home improvement stores. Organize items with ready-to-assemble wire shelves. Use the top part to hold boxes and hang cords, hoses and ropes on the lower portion in between the wires using "S" hooks.
Baskets, Buckets, Boxes, and Bins
Organize outdoor toys and trinkets by using baskets. Place small garden or carpentry tools inside buckets. Buckets serve two purposes, as organizers and carriers. Use the buckets to carry the tools when needed and then put them on a shelf after each use. Purchase inexpensive but durable plastic bins to hold things. You can also purchase plastic or plywood storage containers, bins, and drawers at retailers or even at garage sales. Use durable boxes to store items. Boxes are less expensive than plastic bins. Keep the boxes on shelves or cover them with heavy-duty plastics so that they will not get wet if water enters the garage.
Labeling Containers and Placing Items
Group similar items together and place them in their own respective bins. Label each bin and stack them up to save space. Put items you use often on top to make them easier to find and return to their original spot. Place heavier items below to act as support and to prevent the stack from toppling over. Organize smaller items such as nails, screws, staples, nuts and bolts in plastic trays, or opt for clear glass jars (such as a cleaned out jar of jam) with lids.
