What would you choose in a "one knife challenge?" [moved from Home Cooking]
- kaysyrahsyrah Mar 15, 2010 07:04 PM
If you could only have one knife in your kitchen, which one would you choose, and why?
re: brooklynkoshereater
My 8" carbon steel chef's knife.
Why do I ask? Just curious. My answer, although boring, would be a forged 8" chef's, followed by a stamped 10 1/4" Forschner bread slicer. Followed by a stamped 8" cimetar.
re: bushwickgirl
A large paring knife.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Hate a good utility knife? I think my Shun 6" Utility is a great all-around knife. It's a much better design than the cheap, stamped-style utility knives most people are used to using. But I think the key point here is that it's a well-designed knife (actually a petit gyuto) made from quality materials, rather than a marketing addition to fill out a brand's set in a wood block.
re: Eiron
Yo Greg,
Many people dislike an utility knife due to the design not the material. The argument goes this way: A paring knife is small and nimble. You hold it on your dominant hand and hold the food on the other hand. A paring knife is used to cut the food between two hands and not against a cutting board. For peeling, only 1-2 inch of the blade (near the knife heel) is truly used. For detail work, it is the tip being used. You know Chef's knives, so I won't bore you.
The problem with most utility knives is that they are neither. It is longer than a paring knife, but thinner and shorter than a Chef's knife. The extra length of an utility knife offer no advantage for peeling/cutting in mid air. So a 5" utility knife just get in the way for peeling. On the other hand, an utility knife is too short and narrow to be used as a Chef's knife. It is too short for many large item foods and most importantly, it does not have the knuckle clearance to be used on a cutting board. People cannot bring the knife blade all the way down without hitting their knuckles.
Shun utility knife may be better because it seems to have better knuckle clearance, but if you look at a typical Henckels or Wusthof utility knife, it is very difficult to use them on a board. Either you decide not to bring the full knife edge all to the board (in that case, it is the same as a paring knife) or you will hit your knuckles everytime:
re: Chemicalkinetics
The sandwich knife in this Kuhn Rikon set
is surprisingly useful. It has enough length to cut sandwiches and rolls. and enough width to serve as a spreader. The way around the knuckle clearance issue is to hold the blade at an angle, with just the tip in contact with the board, and slice through the item (like an onion), rather than chop or rock.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Whether that matters depends a lot on what I am cutting and how much. In practice I tend to use a small knife for big knife tasks more often than the other way. If, for example, I start off with a paring task, it may be quicker, or simpler, to continue to use the paring knife for the chopping phase, than to switch to the bigger knife. Especially when working with small quantities (e.g. dicing a shallot v a large onion).
re: Chemicalkinetics
Chem, I agree, it's usually a design problem. I mention the materials simply 'cuz most folks would never spend this much for a typical stamped/riveted utility knife. Better design is only part of the reason for the knife's high cost; better materials (& perfect warranty) accounts for the rest of it.
The petit gyuto ("petty") design of the Shun makes it far more useful than any other knife I've used in this size range. I've discovered it excels in every slicing task I've given it. I'd never go back to using a "regular" utility knife again.
re: Eiron
I have to say that Shun does provide a nice product support program. Not only it offers a good warranty, but it also provide lifetime knife sharpening service for people who don't like to sharpen their knives. It is especially attractive if you own several Shun knives: shipping a dozen of Shun knives is not much more expensive than shipping one knife. If I own 12 Shun knives (which I don't) and I ship them out for factory sharpening every year, then it is like $80-$150 worth of free service every year.
re: bushwickgirl
Hmm, apparently, Rachel Ray is not as influential as I thought. Otherwise, there would have been more Santuko users here.
re: Chemicalkinetics
If I had to make a choice among larger blades, I'd choose a Santuko shape (no influence from RR on that). In fact as a compromise between large and small, I'd lean toward a 5" Santuko. That's what I keep in my camping gear, tough it isn't the only knife. But when camping I don't do a lot of chopping and butchering.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Well, RR's certainly not the reason I like them over a chef's.
re: bushwickgirl
Well, it is interesting that after I wrote about Rachel Ray, then all of a sudden, there are numerous new entries about Santoku.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I really don't think RR influences people's knife choices very much.;=)
Interesting thread; I've seen kitchen people (cooks) use paring knives for everything and chef's knives for things only a paring knife should be good for, to say nothing of how and for what slicers are used!
I think it's a case of to each his/her own. Whatever you're comfortable with and what gets the job done.
re: bushwickgirl
Actually that Rachel Ray thing is a tongue-in-cheek. :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
Mm, thought so. Your wacky sense of humor at work...
I need a new boning knife, what's your recommend, money is somewhat of an issue, so I'm thinking $30 range. Japanese is obviously out, I guess.
re: bushwickgirl
Hi Bushwick
I have a Dexter Russell boning knife of the Traditional (wood handle) series. This is the one:
Generally, I like wood handle, but I have to say maybe I should have gotten one with a larger knife guard (to prevent potential injury) and a plastic handle. Because boning food is always messy (for me), a plastic handle would be easier to clean and be sanitary.
So I think these two may be better:
Katom offers very low prices for Dexter Russell, but it takes about 2-3 weeks before you can get the items.
Alternatively, I think this one looks really good. Paulfinest suggested to me. This is a Wusthof Butcher series boning knife.
If you live in Canada, then you can buy it from Paulfinest. If not, here (I think amazon has the name wrong):
You will have a nonslip sanitary handle with a large knife guard like the Dexter Russell knives. This Wusthof knife is made with a slightly better steel than Dexter Russell and Wusthof knives always have a more polished finish. It is also free shipping from Amazon, but it is currently out of stock.
By the way, all of these are 6" stiff, but both companies offer 5" version and flexible (fillet) versions.
So what boning knife do you have right now? or previously?
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks for all the info, I knew I could count on your recommendation expertise.
I have a Wusthof 6" and it's just worn out; I've had it for 25+ years.
Time for something new.
I like the 6" Wusthof boner from amazon, it's similar to what I have and the price is right. I can wait on it, don't do much boning these days but it's good to be prepared for it. I may get a Wusthof 9" fish fillet knife while I'm at it. Then, no more knives. By the time my current collection is worn out, I'll be dead and buried.
Thanks again. Happy Spring to you.
re: bushwickgirl
Expertise no, recommendation yes. :)
Yeah, I think I will buy that Wusthof boning knife when I give my current one away. The price is right and the quality is good. Although it is out-of-stock on Amazon, one can order for it now and Amazon will ship it to you when it is ready.
Yeah, I can feel the Spring now. It is the first real warm day here. Happy spring to you as well.
re: armagnac
Okay, now I have major knife envy! I was going to say my 8" Wusthof Ikon cook's knife. But I also lust after the huge fish trimming/scaling and leg-of-lamb de-boning knives at my neighborhood market.
re: armagnac
When I were in school, yeah, I really live by a "one knife" rule and I were in school for a long long time.
re: armagnac
then you must've never seen this!
forget the daikon test, this is masterful knife work that i could only ever dream of aspiring to.
now the coring part would be the bigger pain in the ass but i would still stick with my 8" chef's knife.
re: armagnac
Actually, you can. Over the years I have found my 10" Thiers-Issard doing more and more paring tasks, peeling cukes, coring tomatoes, etc. It is so light and has a narrow enough blade that it does those things remarkably well. So unless it is hypertechnical job, like fluting a mushroom cap, I will more often than not just use the same knife for everything. The one job the 10" chef's knife will not do well is boning.
re: zfalcon
I wish I knew what to do with my chinese style cleaver. It is woefully underused.
re: tcamp
Well, here are some ideas to get you going:
Google "how to use a Chinese cleaver" for more info. Happy chopping.
re: tcamp
Here is another youtube video. Push-cutting is the most common cut with a Chinese chef's knife, Nakiri, Santoku.... It is demonstrated as the first cutting style in the video. Although Chinese style chef's knife look alike, they can have varies thickness which lead them to different usage. Here are some Chinese chef's knives from CCK.
The very thin ones (e.g. KF1101) are specialized for slicing and cutting. The thick ones, (e.g. KF1601) are for chopping through small and medium bone. The medium ones (KF1201) are most versatile but are do not excel at a particular job.
Best wishes.
re: Chemicalkinetics
So you need a variety of cleavers! At the very least a thin and a thick. These cleavers could make many other knives, with the exception of possibly paring, slicing and definitely boning, obsolete.
re: bushwickgirl
:) Most Chinese households simply have medium blade ones. Medium ones should handle most jobs. Apparently, people at the knifeforums like the thin blade ones. I guess because the thin blade ones preform really well as vegetable slicers. The thick blade ones are pretty much the same as a western meat cleaver, so they are as useful/useless depending the cooks.
The Chinese cleavers and Japanese Nakiri are very similar to each other, and Santoku is has its root in Nakiri. These knives all compete with each others and with the French's Chef knife. They are not a threat to the paring and boning knives.
re: Chemicalkinetics
The cleaver I had was a medium one but heavy enough for smaller bones, pork ribs, chicken, etc. I did find it a bit clumsy (or maybe I was me and my technique) for vegetables but perhaps I needed more practice.
I wasn't great with push-cutting when I was younger, having used only chef's, but I find I use that technique comfortably with my santoku now.
re: chuckl
For delicate work I'd rather have the cutting edge a couple of inches from my hand than 8.
Paring a water chestnut is a good test.
re: tanuki soup
it can be done, I've used a chef's for paring. It seems to me that this post started out being about which knife is the most versatile as opposed to which knife do you love. There's a difference. A lot of people are professing love for santokus, which is fine. I have several. But the shape of the knife would preclude any sort of paring type of cutting, whereas the spear point of a chef's is a lot like a paring knife. Like Tanuki says, you just have to hold it differently. It's fine to express your knife love, but that's not what this post was about.
re: chuckl
Since there is sheep foot paring knife, I won't say the shape of a Santoku excludes it from paring function.
I would have to say my chinese cleaver. Before that it would have been my "short" chef also known as my big 'paring" and probably by most as a utility knife.
I'd choose my Glestain 7-inch santoku with the big scallops on the side. It's the knife I reach for most often.
Hmmm, that's a hard one. Toss up between my Shun 7 inch Santoku or my 8 inch Mighty Mac Chef. Hate to give up either one of them.

The Beginning Of The End Lyrics - Theatres Des Vampires
[Music: Fabian - Lyrics: Alexander]
Why am I here?!! I wish to com back....
...... But a strange power calls to me from the abyss, I have seen Macabria. I'm enchanted from this land
.... Strange inhabitants.... ancient rites... and obscurity......
Now I will make a choice... a choice of life & death, will be a new sweet pleasure.. Or a horrible end?
But I think that my existence is here... in this place where dreams & reality are living together
I leave the mask that I put on everyday... now I want to be free
The soul leaves my body... Macabria will be my new home........... I'm dead!!!............

Homecoming (Walter's Song) Lyrics - Vienna Teng
Review The Song (1)
It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears
Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears
That I was born in North Carolina
Not an hour from her home town
And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball
And there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is
We've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives
Where my days are strips of highway
And she's wiping tables down
Holding on and still waiting for that windfall
But I've come home
Even though I've never had so far to go
I've come home
I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill
Head across the street where VACANCY is burning in neon still
Well the night eats up my body heat
And there's no sign of another
And I find myself slipping down into that black
But things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith
I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days
And I'm preaching from the pulpit
To cries of "Amen brother"
Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back
And I've come home
Even though I swear I've never been so alone
I've come home
I just want to be living as I'm dying
Just like everybody here
Just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile
And I don't know where I'm driving to
But I know I'm getting old
And there's a blessing in every moment every mile
Thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups
Old Gideons Bible in the nightstand drawer saying "Go on open up"
Well I'll kneel down on the carpet here
Though I never was sure of God
Think tonight I'll give Him the benefit of the doubt
I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed
Her hair falling all around me
I smile and shake my head
Well we all write our own endings
And we all have our own scars
But tonight I think I see what it's all about
Because I've come home
I've come home

Probably the most moving song ever written. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/2/2005
A deeply human, profoundly thought-provoking, very moving song. The beauty in "Homecoming" lies in the depths of feeling that Teng finds in the mundane. A homecoming, a waitress, a motel room -- things that most of us might treat as incidental figures and features of our lives. That Teng sees meaning and significance in these shows the mark of a deeply spiritual, introspective mind -- one that might encourage us not to ignore the beauty that lies in what we often think of the average.

Well, given that the police had to resort to linking it to an actual person via a supermarket loyalty card, it's reasonably to assume there was nothing on the phone itself (stored numbers for Home, Mum, Work, etc) tying to down to anyone.
Assuming an honest driver, once s/he had exhausted the obvious data sources (addressbook, etc), it's not too much of a leap for them to make to see if there might be identifying information elsewhere. I.e. in the phone's photos.
But I agree - totally *possible* that s/he nicked it, took it home, saw the photos and then "remembered" to hand it in :-)

So http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_band suggests that the 433 band is suitable for the UK, but doesn't touch on the 868 band either way. Anyone care to comment who actually knows anything, rather than relying on my blind wikiwanderings?

The Indian Song Lyrics - Inxs
Review The Song (1)
And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense of
My aching heart
If I could just be everything
And everyone to you
This life is just too short
To divide into
Divide into, divide into two
Yeah there's not enough
Time for all of that I want to show you
Not enough time
For every kiss and every touch
And all the nights
I want to be inside of you
Drift away
To make time stop
For the two of us
I'm gonna make time stop
Make time stop, stop, stop
Better listen to
The sighs of love
In our fight against
The end of time
We were making love
We are immortal
We are the last two left
Yeah the last two left
Yeah the last two left
Yeah the last two left
We're the last two left…on earth

June 18, 2007
In just two days Albemarle County Police were on scene at the Wilton Farms Apartments for an armed robbery inside an apartment and shooting in the parking lot. Now residents are on edge after hearing about the violence in their own back yard.
"Lately I thought everything was going well," said resident Mary Howard, and until this weekend she thought the violence at Wilton Farm Apartments had stopped.
"A few years ago they had a mess over here, because they burned my daughter-in-laws car up," explained Howard.
When she heard Albemarle Police were at her apartment complex for two separate incidents she couldn't help but wonder.
"What's going on? Who's over here? Why are they coming over here? We had a pretty good place so far," said Howard.
A place that was good for Howard turned bad when two men barged into a woman's home early Saturday afternoon, tied her up with a telephone cord and forced her and her son into their bathroom before making out with cash.
On Sunday afternoon police were back at the apartment complex for a shooting.
No one was injured, but one person was arrested.
Albemarle Police said management at the complex isn't just sitting back, but working with police to help stop the violence.
"I think management is doing their best out there to fix what's going on, we're definitely involved," said Lt. John Teixeira, Albemarle County Police Department.
Some residents said they may have to move to escape the fear.
"It's kind of scary you know, because you don't know who's next," Howard said.
While others tell us they'll just look over their shoulder.
"I just hope and pray that this is an isolated incident and that thing will blow over and that it will continue to be a safe environment to live and raise our children," said Zelda Anderson, a resident at Wilton Farm.
Wilton Farm has private security that patrols the complex. Albemarle Police said they can't promise any stepped up security, because they are so short staffed right now.

CHICAGO – "Drinking Buddies" director Joe Swanberg's latest release of the same star wattage is "Happy Christmas," an even lower-fi story than the Olivia Wilde beer comedy, steered even more by the casting that it was able to assemble. However, with this movie Swanberg doesn't so much worry about having a story that could be confused with a more mainstream romantic comedy if it were to have a bigger budget.

Video Game Review: 'Rayman Legends' Defies, DeliversSubmitted by PMeekin on October 5, 2013 - 10:25am
CHICAGO - It's scary that I live in a world where that most gamers didn't start with the Nintendo Entertainment system like I, and my peers, did. Having the first three levels of "Super Mario Bros." memorized, playing "Teenage Mutant NInja Turtles The Arcade Game" until the way-too-late hour of 11pm on a school night, and nearly ending friendships over "Battletoads" were experiences I once thought universal to all game players.

Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday cottage in Mylor Bridge - Brampton Cottage
4 bed spacious cottage in quiet country hamlet with garden and sunny deck.
Brampton is not a super shiny show house! However, it is a welcoming and roomy 4 bedroomed family cottage where children (and dogs if you wish) can relax so that parents can too. There is plenty of room for two families to cook and eat in the large, fully equipped kitchen, maybe spreading onto the sunny deck outside. You can watch children play in the sunny garden while you sit at the kitchen table, or you can relax in the chairs that hang from the magnolia tree.

About Jane Fenton
We have lived in this happy family house for twenty one years, and both my girls have loved growing up here. They especially love the magnolia tree in the garden which has been a favourite play centre throughout their lives. It's been a climbing frame, a ship, a den, a horse, a rocket.... so many adventures in one tree. Now that they are older, they prefer to swing in the hanging chairs and chat.
Jane Fenton purchased this cottage in 1993
Why Jane Fenton chose Mylor Bridge
Brampton is ideal for families. Everyone can sit around the kitchen table for hours, just eating, drinking, talking and playing endless games or sit on the bright, sunny deck for those summery, outdoor meals.
What makes this cottage unique
Visitors always comment on the peace and quiet of the countryside around Brampton.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We have had a wonderful week, very much enjoyed Brampton. Made good use of your games too. It's a great place for a family holiday.

The governor was back in storm damaged communities Wednesday.
Governor Steve Beshear visited many hard hit areas including the town of West Liberty, which took a direct hit from an EF 3 tornado.
While the devastation is still evident, there are signs of rebuilding and life.
Power crews have worked non-stop and power should be on in the next day or two.
Business owners on Main Street are cleaning out and making plans for the future.
Local officials and citizens got a little boost of support from Governor Steve Beshear as he visited the downtown area.
A walk down main street in downtown West Liberty and you can see the devastation, but more importantly you can see signs of life.
Governor Beshear promised Morgan County and all the other areas hit by a tornado that he would do everything he can to help them.
Federal individual grants have already been issued to 7 counties including Morgan County and Governor Beshear says more counties will be added to that list.
He says despite tough financial times Kentucky will pull through and there will be a new West Liberty.
FEMA officials say that those in Morgan County and the other counties already approved can start applying for FEMA assistance at 1-800-621-FEMA.

IE University and its School of Architecture are in good company in this new ranking category, followed by prestigious institutions such as Tongji University (Shanghai), Cambridge University (UK), the University of Cape Town (South Africa), and the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia).
"To be recognized in this way by such a notable publication is a reward and a source of great motivation for us," said Javier Quintana, Head of the School of Architecture of IE University, and he adds "it is a step ahead for the internationalization and the global commitment of ours programs."
After only three years, IE School of Architecture managed to break into the international scene with its Bachelor and Master Degrees thanks to the global perspective of the institution and its pioneer programs in Spain, such as the Summer School co-organized with the Architectural Association School of Architecture, London.
About the ranking:

Spain's Infanta Cristina de Borbón today presided over the presentation of the 15th Castilla y León Economy Prize in the Aula Magna of IE University. This year's prize went to economist Manuel Lagares Calvo. The Infanta Cristina was joined by the President of the Castilla y León regional authorities, Juan Vicente Herrera, and the rector of IE University, Juan Luis Martínez.
The prize, which carries the name of the Infanta Cristina, is awarded in recognition of dedication to the study of and research on the Spanish economy. As from last year it has been accompanied by an economy scholarship of the same name, which this year went to researcher Javier Valbuena Gómez. The prizes were created by the Castilla and León regional authorities in 1995 to acknowledge the research efforts and intellectual work of key economists, academics and researchers in the field of applied economy.
The judges panel for the the Infanta Cristina Prize decided in January 2010 that it would go to Manuel Lagares Calvo for his important contributions to understanding the Spanish economy, and, particularly, the Spanish tax model. They also noted his role in addressing the economic problems that arose during Spain's political transition.
Participants in the event included IE President Diego del Alcázar, the President of the Castilla y León regional authorities, Juan Vicente Herrera, the President of the Castilla y Leon Cortes, José Manuel Fernández Santiago, the government delegate in Castilla y León, Miguel Alejo, together with other representatives of local and regional governments.

IE University will be launching a Bachelor of Laws Degree (LLB) for the 2011-2012 academic year following the official accreditation of the program by Spain's University Commission. The four-year degree program will be run under the aegis of IE Law School, and will have a markedly global slant in line with similar programs at other prestigious international universities, such as Northwestern University (Chicago), Beijing University School of Transnational Law, or King's College of London.
Students will benefit from the numerous agreements which IE Law School, one of the most recognized institutions of its kind, enjoys with other leading international law schools around the world. Graduates will be equipped to exercise the legal profession in Spain, UK, and the US, and the program curriculum will combine corporate law with the study of business administration and humanities. The IE Bachelor of Laws will also place a special emphasis on professional skills, with a clear focus on international lawyering.
The new degree program will be available in Spanish and English. It will be taught at IE's Segovia campus, and students will also be able to enjoy the advantages of agreements between IE Law School, headed by Dean José María de Areilza, and leading law firms in Spain and worldwide.
The Rector of IE University, Juan Luis Martínez, stated that "this new Law Degree further enhances IE University's broad portfolio of degree programs, and is aligned with all IE programs in that it is geared to meet market needs and ensure the employability of its graduates".
During the four-year program students will have access to IE Law School's "Law Unplugged" seminar, which will permit them to simulate the practical application of Law in parallel to their legal training. Moreover students will have the opportunity to take part in an exchange program with other leading international law schools.
"IE Law School has been teaching law from an international perspective for some thirty five years," says Soledad Atienza, Director of IE University's Bachelor in Laws. "Our programs are based on a highly active approach and are designed to meet the needs of business. The key differentiating factors of our law degree lies in its flexibility due to online options and its large range of electives, and its clear focus on international practice."

· Both institutions run programs renowned for their focus on academic excellence in a multicultural environment
IE University and the UWC Spanish Committee Foundation have reached an agreement whereby IE will award scholarships to two graduates from a United World College partner institution to study their university degrees. Each year the scholarships will permit two young people - one of whom will be Spanish, and the other from any other country worldwide - to study the degree of their choice from among the extensive portfolio of programs at IE University.
The recipients of the scholarships will have obtained their International Baccalaureate Diploma from any 12 of the 13 United World Colleges partner schools worldwide. Practically all the young people who study and reside in the UWC schools have received scholarships from their countries of origin. Hence, the new agreement with IE University means that in addition to achieving a scholarship to study their Baccalaureate in the US, Canada, India, China, Norway or the UK, among other countries, they will now be able to take their education to university level thanks to the scholarships offered by IE University.
As from the 2011-2012 academic year, the United World Colleges Foundation will draw up a short list of three Spanish students and three students from other countries, who will be evaluated by a committee comprised of representatives from UWC and IE University. The ideal candidate will have a brilliant academic record, a desire to become a global professional in his or her chosen field of knowledge, and similar values to those of IE University: innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and an interest in humanities.
Before embarking on their degree course at IE University, these UWC students will have lived and studied alongside other young people from 80 to 100 different countries. The mission of UWC, a non-profit organization, is to promote peace and understanding on an international scale through multicultural education.
"Both institutions feel that commitment, leadership and good work can change the world. This is not a utopia." says Berta Fraguas, Director General of the UWC Spanish Committee Foundation. "Thanks to the community service program undertaken by UWC students in a diverse environment, they learn that we always have a debt to society, and that you have to give back part of what it has been given to you."
"This year IE University's student body comprises over 60 nationalities. This diversity, coupled with excellence and our students' passion for creativity will lead them to become change agents in a global market," says Santiago Iñiguez, President of IE University. "We share UWC's commitment to making this happen, and we want to offer its students the opportunity to build their future with us."
About IE University
IE University is an extension of the IE Education model to undergraduate education, with an innovative approach to undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs. IE University has 1,200 students of 60 different nationalities and a unique faculty comprised of some 400 Spanish and international experts. It runs officially recognized English and Spanish-taught degree programs in Business Administration, Law, Communication, Architecture, Biology, History of Art and Tourism. All its programs have a markedly international slant and a special focus on entrepreneurial learning.
IE University's campus in Segovia covers a surface area of over 18,000m2 with classrooms, workshops, laboratories, radio and television studios, conference halls and communal areas, where latest generation technology is seamlessly integrated into a historical setting in the form of a thirteenth century convent.
About United World Colleges
United World Colleges (UWC) is an international non-profit organization with presence in more than 125 countries. Its objective is to build a society in peace through a multicultural education. Founded in 1962, and chaired by Nelson Mandela and Queen Noor of Jordan, UWC comprises 13 academic excellence colleges in America, Asia, Europe and Africa. In each college live and study around 200 scholars from 16 to 19 years old of 80 different nationalities. Most of them receive a grant and are selected in their own countries according to their student record, beyond their socioeconomic position. While these students live in the United World Colleges, they take part in volunteer programs and participate in discussions about international understanding and sustainable development. After two decades sending Spanish scholars abroad, Spain will host in 2013 the 14th United World College, which will be located in Comillas (Cantabria).

Alaska, Hawaii and West Virginia Approved for ESEA Flexibility
On Monday, May 20, the U.S. Department of Education approved
an additional
three states— Alaska, Hawaii and West Virginia—for flexibility from key
requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). These
additions bring the total number states approved for flexibility to 37 with an
additional 8 states having applied and awaiting approval.
In September 2011, in the face of congressional gridlock,
the department developed flexibility waivers as a way to release states from
the burdens of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), which was imposed on schools in
the 2001 authorization of ESEA known as No Child Left Behind. Waivers are
issued in exchange for state-developed plans, approved by the Department of
Education, "to prepare all students for college and career, focus aid on the
neediest students and support effective teaching and leadership."
At the time of this posting the department had not yet
posted the approved applications, but we were able to review the original
applications. If the final plans are similar, like some of the previously
approved applications, these new waivers will allow Alaska, Hawaii and West
Virginia to introduce real measures of career readiness and boost their CTE
To view the applications of these or other states who have applied
or been approved, please visit the Department of Education's website or see this previous
summary post from the CTE Policy Watch blog. ACTE will continue to monitor
the application process and will bring you any updates on the remaining eight
applicants or the five states who have not yet requested flexibility.

November 28, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The San Francisco 49ers are banning tailgating in the parking lot of Candlestick Park after games start, and any season ticket holders caught misbehaving on video will have their tickets revoked.
The moves announced Monday are in reaction to the violence that marred a weekend preseason NFL football game.
In addition, 49ers CEO Jed York says he will recommend to the NFL that the annual preseason game between the archrival 49ers and Oakland Raiders be put off next year.
San Francisco police, Mayor Ed Lee and 49ers officials also say police will set up DUI checkpoints near the stadium after all 49ers games and strictly forbid alcohol consumption then.
Two men were seriously injured during and after Saturday's game, including a 24-year-old man who was shot several times in the stomach. Both were upgraded to fair condition Monday.

Let just call today National Tegra day because two games were just released in the TegraZone. We already told you about the first one, Razor Salvation, and now a little about SUMIONI Demon Arts THD from ACQUIRE Corporation. In this game you play the role of the Ink Demon named Agura who is summoned to save Japan from doom. Your finger becomes the brush and you will perform various ink attacks by drawing directly on the touch screen. So ink is your primary weapon and in order to beat your enemies you will need to draw platforms to get Agura in the right position to get the bad buy.
Featured Play Store Newbie: Razor Salvation THD [TegraZone - Arcade & Action]
The folks who brought you Siegecraft has a new game in town. Blowfish Studios just released Razor Salvation in the Google Play Store and TegraZone. In this game you take over as commander of the drop-ship "Salvation", and your task is to rescue the Earth's inhabitants and assist the EDSF defense effort. Razor Salvation is actually the first installment in a series and it's based on the story of the Xenos and why they have invaded Earth. As always, you can expect special enhancements for the Tegra 3, which include destructible buildings.
Featured Play Store Newbie: Montessori ABC Game For Kids [Education]
One of the best things to come out of the smartphone/tablet boom is there are a lot of educational apps for kids. It's amazing how much further ahead my son is than I was at his age. We all want our children to read ASAP, but they need to learn the letters first. Montessori ABC Game For Kids is a new app for toddlers and pre-schoolers that will help them learn the letters, the sounds of each letter, and words that start with each letter.
What makes any education app successful is the combination of education and fun. If the app can give your child entertainment, then he or she will be eager to learn. Montessori ABC makes things interactive with an alphabet game through beautiful flash cards. Your child will tap images and blinking areas to see the spelling of the words as well as hear the sound each letter makes in a word. Every time a letter or object is touched, a cute animated video will appear which will continue to encourage them to keep playing.
Featured Play Store Newbie: Lines & Puzzles [Brain & Puzzle]
We recently featured Four in a Row HD +Riddles by Alberto Hernandez, and he just came out with another one called Lines and Puzzles. It's a similar game but it's based on Gomoku. In case you're wondering what Gomoku is, it's similar to Connect Four, but you need to get five in a row and pieces can be placed anywhere you want (non gravitational) as long as it's on an intersecting line (like the picture above). Lines and Puzzles offers some variations like 3-in-line (tic-tac-toe), 4-in-line, or 5-in-line Freestyle Gomoku. You have your choice of themes which include wood, chalk, printed paper, Go-like (traditional Gomoku), or neon for boards up to 15 x 15.
Featured Play Store Newbie: Plague Inc. [Brain & Puzzle]
Plague Inc. has made it's way the the Google Play Store, and it's likely to be a hit. It's a mix of "high strategy" and "terrifyingly realistic simulation" from developer Ndemic Creations, and thanks to Miniclip, it's now available for the Android faithful. It's actually a chance for you to play "Dr. Evil" in a sense because it's up to you to bring about the end of human history by spreading pathogens. It starts with a a simple cough, but through mutations, it will eventually take on many forms which can be deadly. You job won't be easy because the human's will defend themselves with everything they've got.
- Stunning graphics with a highly polished interface (Contagion guaranteed)
- Highly detailed, hyper-realistic world with advanced AI (Outbreak management)
- Comprehensive in-game help and tutorial system (I am Legendarily helpful)
- 10 different disease types with radically different strategies to master (10 Monkeys?)
- Full Save/Load functionality (28 Saves Later!)
- 50+ countries to infect, hundreds of traits to evolve, thousands of world events to adapt to (Pandemic evolved)
- Scoreboards and achievements to track the epidemic
- Localised in English (more languages coming soon!)
Plague Inc. is Free so give it a shot. Take a look at the video trailer below and hit one of the download links to get started.

The game costs $8 and won't give you the full experience you get on a traditional console, but will let you play full exhibition games as any of the 30 teams. You can also recreate legendary performances in NBA's Greatest Games mode or play as your favorite team in the Multiseason Mode. It uses the 2K basketball engine with controls optimized for mobile gaming. Normally I would not expect much from a game like this, Madden 12 anyone, but we will let you be the judge. Use the link or QR code after the break to check the game out in the Play Store.

Featured Play Store Newbie: Pirateville 2 – Pirate Island [Gaming-Casual]
Last week I told you about Nevosoft's Pirateville: The Enchanted Box, and now comes Pirateville 2: Pirate Island. It's a continuation of Sharpshooter Jack's adventure, but this time he will encounter secrets of the cursed island with its lost treasures and jewels. In order to do this you will have to assemble a team of other pirates to man your vessel and try to figure out the ancient spirits' predictions. This will all be done through various hidden object games and puzzles.

Official Dick's Sporting Goods app hits the Play Store
Dick's Sporting Goods, the largest sporting goods retailer in the U.S., now has an official app available on the Play Store. Apps from retail stores can sometimes be hit or miss, but Dick's seems to have their act together here. Personally, Dick's is one of my favorite retail stores, much less sporting goods stores, and it's good to finally have an app to go along with their excellent brick and mortar stores.
The app, as one would expect, offers the ability to shop the virtual store by category as well as search for specific products. You can also see user reviews of the products, much like their website. However, one feature that's a nice addition is the ability to manage your rewards that you rack up using the Dick's ScoreCard when making purchases. This is actually a helpful feature seeing as I've never once received anything in the mail regarding my reward points, totals, or discounts using said points in the three years I've owned a ScoreCard. It's taken a while, but it's good to finally have an app to go along with this great store. Are you a frequent shopper at Dick's Sporting Goods? Download the app via the link below and let us know what you think.
Featured Play Store Newbie: The Bard's Tale [Arcade & Action]
Some of you might already be familiar with the PC classic trilogy, The Bard's Tale. Well in inXile Entertainment just released a mobile version in the Google Play Store and the NVIDIA TegraZone. It just might be the funniest game you will ever play. It might also be the largest in terms of file size to date because the HD version will set you back 3.5GB (1.7GB for non HD version). That's pretty hefty, but not surprising since the game includes over 20-30 hours of gameplay.
It's a fantasy RPG, and you play Bard, a selfish rogue weary of pointless sub-quests and rat-infested cellars. There's something else about Bard that's interesting and it's the fact that he has the ability to cast spells by singing songs. You will encounter all kinds of enemies to fight, but this game throws some bonuses like a lot of cleavage and when was the last time you saw a zombie dance off?
