- Also On: Mobile, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360
- Summary: LEGO Star Wars II takes the fun and customization ability of the LEGO play pattern and combines it with the epic story, characters and action from the revolutionary Star Wars: Episodes IV, V and VI. With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the Original Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars II lets you build and battle your way through your favorite film moments. From Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to Luke's final confrontation with Emperor Palpatine. For the first time ever, characters can get in and out of vehicles, as well as ride creatures. Because it's LEGO style, you can also mix and match the body parts of more than 50 playable characters to create one of millions of possible LEGO Star Wars heroes. And on PS2, Xbox and Windows platforms, a game save from the first LEGO Star Wars can unlock another 50-plus additional characters for Free Play mode -- that's more than 100 total characters. Other exciting additions include free-roaming vehicle levels, the ability to switch ships at will in Free Play mode, cool new character-specific attacks and maneuvers, playable mini-kit vehicles, an adaptive difficulty option and more.

Even better than the first game, this handheld masterpiece is an essential purchase.
Beautifully knitting together the Star Wars and Lego worlds in presentation and ambience, this is a game that showcases the PSP's extraordinary capabilities.
A supremely entertaining romp through the classic Star Wars universe, LSWII deserves to be played by everyone. [Nov 2006, p.102]
But most importantly, it's about the good episodes now. For that reason alone, Lego Star Wars II is one of the most enjoyable games of this fall.
With solidly rebuilt controls only a little marred by a still-fussy camera, LEGO Star Wars II is even better than last years prequel trilogy-based offering. And, as the first LEGO Star Wars was an amazingly entertaining homage to Lucas's genius, this sequel stands atop the original's shoulders as the pinnacle of LEGO Star Wars fun.
The game's simplicity is what really makes the game work: it's a game where you don't have to futz around with complicated controls, and camera control isn't an issue. [Nov 2006, p.78]
What's pretty refreshing is that Lego Star Wars II makes a damn nice jump from the hefty console down to the wee portable. [Nov. 2006, p. 122]

text: Liberal Intolerance: You Believe What? by Joel B. Pollak Oct 8, 2013 3:51 AM PT Share This: Print I was at a dinner recently where I happened to be seated at a table with new acquaintances of the liberal political persuasion. We went around the table introducing ourselves. As I said that I work for a "conservative website," a man at the far end of the table made his displeasure known by booing. He wasn't kidding. These were professional, accomplished, senior members of the community. They had never met a conservative before. Their first reaction was hostile. No one chided the man who booed, or apologized on his behalf for his rudeness, or laughed to break the tension. Instead, I began to face questions: you really support what Boehner is doing? Yes, I replied. He's doing the right thing by standing up to the president. Gasps. Look, I said, trying to be diplomatic. I understand how Democrats see this. Democrats believe that these extremists have taken over the Republican Party, and they don't like government much anyway, and-- "They can't stand the fact that a black man is in the White House!" someone interjected. That's not true, I said. Oh, yes it is, they said. Ok. Why don't we put that thought in a box for now--we'll come back to it, I offered. Let me finish. From a conservative Republican perspective, it's necessary to stand up to Obama because he is doing things that no president should do, not just in policy terms but also in violating the constitutional separation of powers. That stunned them. "What? You really believe that? Like what?" Delaying the employer mandate under Obamacare, for instance, without statutory authority. Oh, you Republicans and your business friends should like that. No, actually, I don't. And it's just the start... The conversation was cut short by the sound of a glass tapping at the next table, for a toast. We never did come back to the question of whether I was a racist who could not stand a black man as president. I doubt these folks thought of themselves as mean people. But I am certain many other conservatives have had similar interactions among liberals in elite, polite society. Worldly as they are, they have no clue. The closing and welding shut of the American liberal mind by John Hayward Oct 8, 2013 5:13 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Liberal Intolerance: You Believe What?: I've seen conversations like that, both in person and online. Liberals have a white-knuckled grip on the "all opposition to Obama is racist" safety blanket these days; it's just about all they have left as his approval ratings plummeted during his second term. It's a pure expression of Leftist totalitarianism, a declaration that opposition to Dear Leader is fundamentally illegitimate. They're saying you are not allowed to disagree with the leader. You don't get to explain why you do, and they don't have to trouble themselves with responding to your arguments. Needless to say, they'll go insane with rage if we ever have a black Republican President, and any conservative dares to play the "you just oppose him because you hate black people" card. Long before said President's successful campaign for office was completed, he would be ritually stripped of his blackness by the Left, so if 2017 rolls around and you find yourself sticking up for President Ben Carson at that dinner table, you will be haughtily informed that he's not a legitimate African-American. The other thing that hisses between the seams in the welded-shut liberal mind these days is that Republican policies are an expression of hatred for whatever sainted group the Democrats profess to adore these days - from various minorities, to women, to the sacred Middle Class. They only oppose ObamaCare because they want people to die, for example. I'm all in favor of being honest about the various ulterior motives of every politician, beginning with their desire to remain in office, but this argument is an expression of the infantilism of the liberal mind. They've regressed into spoiled toddlers, screaming about boogeymen in the closet. As far as politicians go, well, they all claim to be selfless servants of the people, but very few of them are. But among the ranks of the American people, how childish is it to assume that critics of ObamaCare are motivated by a sadistic desire to take away peoples' health insurance? That "argument" is the last fitful spark from a mental engine in the final stages of complete shutdown. And once again, it saves the liberal from having to engage with what his debate opponent is saying. They were on better ground when they sneered that opponents of statism were greedy SOBs who didn't want to pay their "fair share." Of course, now that a fair number of rank-and-file liberals are getting their ObamaCare quotes and finding out just how much their "fair share" is going to be, that particular talking point is losing a lot of steam. It was always just another expression of totalitarianism anyway. If you think rational self-interest is a horrible sin, you must by definition believe that submission to the masters of the collective is the highest virtue. Cognitive Dissonance at the Gym by Joel B. Pollak Oct 8, 2013 6:03 AM PT Share This: Print In response to The closing and welding shut of the American liberal mind: This morning, at the gym, I overheard a conversation between a woman and her trainer about Obamacare. (I couldn't help overhearing it; they were speaking loudly, and didn't seem to think anyone would disagree.) Obamacare is here to stay. Yep. I can't stand what they're doing. I agree. It's a disgrace that a first-world country can't take care of everybody. Absolutely. But you know, I understand some of the myopia on the other side. People abuse the system. Yeah--my ex, when he was unemployed, was getting free health care. Free? Yeah, you know, here in Massachusetts, we have to buy insurance, but if you can't afford it, it's free. He was getting better health care than I was! Huh. Sentiment trumps logic. And elite liberal empathy for the poor only stretches so far. It's another example of the mentality on display in that now-infamous quote from the Sacramento Bee: "Of course, I want people to have health care," Vinson said. "I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally." Straw Man on the Acela Express by Joel B. Pollak Oct 8, 2013 12:52 PM PT Share This: Print In response to The closing and welding shut of the American liberal mind: I was meant to take a Bolt Bus from Boston to New York today, but because the bus was canceled, I had to take the next train instead--which happened to be the Acela Express, probably Amtrak's only successful route. The man behind me was having a long, loud conversation with a friend about conservative Republican opposition to Obamacare. "These people are insane," was his repeated refrain. The proof of our "insanity" was an endless series of straw men, evidently arguments offered during a debate with some student somewhere, who didn't know enough facts or history to make his case properly. "He said Democrats caused their own shutdown during Bush. I said, no--that was Republicans with Clinton!" "He said that Obamacare forces you to leave your doctor. I asked him where he heard that. He said 'everyone knows it.' I said that the first time I'd heard it was this morning, ha ha." And so on. Each of the bad arguments is a version of a true argument that the student might have been trying to remember--i.e. that Democrats voted against the debt ceiling during Bush's presidency, or that Obamacare is forcing--by effect, not by statute--many people out of their current health insurance plan. But it's easier to beat silly mistakes than deal with the reality of Obamacare's failure. Another depressing experience within the hermeneutic circle of the American left. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National Judge rejects complaint from condemned home invasion killer who says prison food isn't kosher28 Nov 2014, 8:15 AM PDT Early start takes frenzy out of Black Friday28 Nov 2014, 8:10 AM PDT Magicians stage new effort to restore and maintain Harry Houdini's vandalized NYC gravesite28 Nov 2014, 7:16 AM PDT New York State Military Museum digitizing post-WWI personnel records of Harlem Hellfighters28 Nov 2014, 6:37 AM PDT Michael Brown's legacy: A symbol to some, but others stress the nuances of his life28 Nov 2014, 6:34 AM PDT advertisement Send A Tip Sign up for our newsletter

2013 Lexus LS 600h L
I have spent the last seven days driving the Starfire Pearl (read: white) 2013 Lexus LS 600h L you see here. And after roughly 500 miles of errand-running, highway-cruising, commuting and people-schlepping, I can safely say this: I don't get it. The LS hybrid is a nice car. It's comfortable, has every amenity you'd ever want in a luxury boat, and with its freshened appearance for 2013, it looks modern, integrating the company's new spindle grille into an overall package that's elegant. None of this is bad news. But let me explain why I still cannot wrap my head around the overall LS 600... Read More

With Lexus having carefully cultivated a reputation for isolating drivers from all of the undignified sensations normally associated with driving, it might seem surprising to find a Sport model in the LS lineup. Sure, Lexus offers the M3-chasing IS F, as well as the outrageous LFA supercar, but an LS460 Sport? Come on... even sport-synonymous BMW doesn't ...

run executable (script) @ startup / login (before explorer.exe?)
Hi, everything's going well, fixing an issue a day, but the solution to this continues to elude me...
I have a (taskbar) toolbar (like quick launch) that shows the folder contents (as usual, like quick launch) on the toolbar. The target folder resides on a virtual volume, that's always attached....
One of the problems is that I don't know how windows (internally) performs this (virtual volume) load/mount/attach operation....
I had used VHDAttach or something in the past... until I realised
The problem is that I have to restart explorer after login to refresh the systemiconcache; by then, the volume is attached, and the icons are read (as normal) and displayed...
I'm running attachLBS.bat @ (can you believe User Startup isn't in C:\users\username\startup?!) - this gives the volume a path letter (L... but it doesn't run in time..
So! My question is - how do I make windows ensure an operation is completed (attach volume, for example) BEFORE explorer.exe performs it's "display shell / user interface" task?!

A possibility could be to use Task Scheduler, as it lets you run programs before any user logs in (therefore, before explorer starts). Just put it in a trigger with an event of "system startup" and it will run before everything.

Deputies investigate suspicious Palm Coast fire
Flagler County deputies evacuated six homes Tuesday evening in connection with a fire at a home on Woodstone Lane in Palm Coast that started just before 11 p.m. and resulted in one person being hurt.
The state Fire Marshal has been called in to investigate the cause of the fire, which has initially been deemed suspicious, investigators said.
The Palm Coast Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire, which fully engulfed the home. Flames could be seen coming from the roof, according to deputies.
The resident, 54-year-old Harold Pizzetta, was found sitting in a chair in the corner of his fenced yard where he apparently had been during the fire and firefighting efforts, according to deputies. He said someone had broken in, set the fire and left.
Pizzetta was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler for treatment of burn injuries. Firefighters determined there were no other occupants of the home.
Deputies said the size of the fire and strong winds forced the evacuation of houses in the immediate area.

The clinic, which opens Monday, September 29, will provide primary care to adults and children as well as low-risk obstetrics. Lab services and X-rays will also be offered. Common urgent prescriptions will be available through a special automated dispenser.
Dr. Sara Lokstad, a family medicine physician who recently returned from her second deployment as an Army Major, will see patients at the clinic. She currently works at the Essentia Health St. Joseph's-Crosslake Clinic. She will be joined by experienced Physician Assistant Lance Fisher who lives in the area and has been caring for patients at UrgentCare and ConvenientCare in Baxter over the past year. We are also proud to share that we have hired nursing and receptionist staff from the community who include: Arianne Sizenbach, LPN, of Emily; LaSandra Biermaier, LPN; Lindsey Paulsen of Outing; and Jennifer Jacobson of Emily.
"Our mission is to make a healthy difference in people's lives," says Bill Palmer, the regional clinic administrator. "We already serve a number of patients from Emily and Outing at our Crosslake Clinic. A new clinic in Emily is more convenient and makes it easier for people to access care."
"We heard from community members that extended hours are important," continued Palmer, "So we are pleased to share that the clinic will be open from 8a.m.- 6p.m. four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday) and 8a.m.-4:30p.m.on Thursdays." "A lot of our citizens are retired and older so having a clinic in town means they'll have better access to health care," says George Pepek, Emily's mayor. "That's important."
"A lot of older residents don't drive and they don't like to ask for a ride," explains his wife, Priscilla Pepek. "With the clinic being in town, they won't be so hesitant to call for a ride."
The Pepeks bought their home on Ruth Lake in 1993. They retired and began living there year-round nine years ago.
"One of my greatest fears in moving here was finding a decent doctor and starting all over again," Priscilla says. She's pleased that her physician, Dr. Lokstad, will now have appointments in Emily as well as Crosslake.
"Dr. Lokstad is genuine and she genuinely cares about you," Priscilla says. "It's not 'get you in one door and out the other.' I just love her."
George, a Vietnam veteran, gets his care from the Veterans Administration. He says the community is excited about the new clinic and new business.
"This is an excellent opportunity for a new business that the community will greatly benefit from," he says.
The clinic has been built in a vacant office that served a log home builder. Essentia Health invested in the conversion of the vacant office space into a beautiful clinic that is nearly complete with the help of a local contractor and many local subcontractors.
The community is invited to an Open House on Monday, September 22 from 4-6:30p.m. Attendees are welcome to tour the clinic, meet the staff, enjoy appetizers and enter into prize drawings.
To schedule an appointment for your annual physical or any followup care or immediate health needs you can call 218 763-4800.

Whilst I'd reservations about Snow White and the Huntsman (and still do to a certain degree), I'm still a lot more excited about this fairy tale re-imaging than all the others combined. It has a great cast (including Hunk of the minute Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron making evil look good and the always lovely, if slightly mopey, Kirsten Stewart). The setting looks suitably pretty grim and forbidding from the trailers we've seen, it looks like it could be pretty dark and, most importantly, it seems there might be a decent amount of action so I'm willing to give it a chance.
Here's the synopsis:
In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.

Hey guys! If you guys noticed ( I hope you do! XD) that I haven't been active in blogging like before and it's hard when you have to wrestle with 3 other people to use a computer. And it's even harder when you got lotsof homework and projects to do. I can't help feeling like this is a punishment I got for two years of leisure and playing all day long.
So since there'll be big exam coming (which is tomorrow!) I won't get to blog anymore cuz there's gonna be a lot of preparations and studying need to be done. Really this year is gonna be harder and I won't get to read many books too which I really prefer doing! I've pledged to myself that I won't online, not until the exam is over! So good luck to me and see you guys a week later!

Last summer Brabus built an E-Class sedan powered by a biturbo V12 that captured the honor of being called the World's Fastest Sedan by reaching a velocity of 218 mph. Brabus has just broken its own record using the Brabus Rocket, which we first met in Frankfurt last year. The Rocket is based on the Mercedes-Benz CLS and is also propelled by a biturbo V12 producing 730 hp, which was enough to power the big Benz to an incredible top speed of 225.19 mph. The Rocket was also able to snap off a 0-60 run in 4.0 seconds flat.
The Rocket is not just a one-off, either. You can buy your own from Brabus for EUR 348,000.
More pictures of the Rocket's record run and the full press release from Brabus can be found after the jump...

362.4 km/h
BRABUS ROCKET - The World's Fastest Sedan
362.4 km/h: The BRABUS ROCKET, built in small-series production based on the Mercedes CLS series, is the world's fastest sedan. During test runs on the high-speed track in the southern Italian town of Nardo the high-performance automobile improved upon the previous record of 350.2 km/h, held also by BRABUS with the E V12 Biturbo.
In addition to the top speed of 362.4 km/h, limited electronically for street-legal operation to 350 km/h, the BRABUS ROCKET also offers acceleration at the highest level: 0 - 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0 - 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds, 0 - 300 km/h in 29.5 seconds. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission and the BRABUS locking differential.
The BRABUS ROCKET engine and the entire drivetrain are operated with high-performance lubricants from technology partner ARAL. Naturally the unique performance of the world's fastest sedan must be kept safely in check at all times. In order to do so BRABUS in cooperation with Bilstein has developed a custom-calibrated height-adjustable coil-over suspension with gas-pressure shocks for the ROCKET. The shocks feature six settings each for bound and rebound.
Maximum size and state-of-the-art materials characterize the BRABUS high-performance brake system of the ROCKET. The front axle features vented ceramic brake discs in size 375 x 36 mm and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers. Vented and perforated steel discs in size 355 x 28 mm and 6-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle complete this efficient and strong brake system.
The giant size of the brake components and the enormous vehicle performance necessitate the use of BRABUS Monoblock VI or S light-alloy wheels with 19-inch diameter. BRABUS technology partner Yokohama made the record run possible with the help of its ADVAN high-performance tires. The perfect tire/wheel combination for the BRABUS ROCKET features 8.5Jx19 wheels in front with 255/35 ZR 19 tires and 10Jx19 rims with 285/30 ZR 19 tires on the rear axle.
For high-speed fans there is now the BRABUS polo shirt "Special High-Speed Testing Edition." The high-quality shirt is available in the BRABUS online shop at www.brabus.com in sizes S through XXL.

In a performance of "Mi Novio Es un Zombi" ("My Boyfriend Is a Zombie"), Spanish pop singer Alaska, looking like a gothed-up Cher, grinds onstage with a Freddy Krueger impersonator. In 1989, she and bass player Nacho Canut formed electro pop band Fangoria, naming it after a horror magazine. The nearly 50-year-old Alaska, now a gay icon in Spain who sports a fiery-orange mane and ample bosom, still performs as Fangoria. The duo produces dance music that's influenced by David Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys. Some of their New Wave-informed singles have even been mixed by Soft Cell's Marc Almond. Fangoria will perform at the Awarehouse this Saturday with another Spanish glam-electronica band, Las Nancys Rubias.

If you've been missing Bonchon, you might want to let that lament go; no trace of the excellent Korean-fried chicken joint remains.

I feel like we never made it out of the honeymoon phase.

Even though the climate of this place is harsh and relentless, though occasionally peaceful, the wood is not faded — it is familiar.
It is late in the day, the wind is still, the grass is green and there are seven lazy clouds in the sky. There are mosquitoes and flies that bite, bugs that crawl and frogs, too. He is a man of an age that is not important from a time that was very important, and there but a few things important to him now — family, his grandkids, reading by the light of the same lamp he read from as a boy. And of course, fishing is important, too.
It seems that even within the woven fabrics of an early morning, the sun always lurks.
I see artwork and stare. My eyes follow the lines, and I study the colors. My mind processes the shapes, curves, jagged edges, the shabby and the abstract.
They say we never forget our first. In this sea of life, there will be buoys of a first lost tooth, first hit in baseball, first vehicle, first kiss and the first time you camped beneath the stars.
It is not as much a walk as it is a shuffle, and this is how he moves down the bank. He is not as old as the trees around him, and he doesn't hear the birds above him as he once did.
It used to be that camouflage was something worn to be hidden. The concept is simple enough, and ever since man learned of the need to hide to hunt, he has used the concept of blending in with colors.
If I could describe the witnessing of darkness becoming light, it would be a careful unwrapping of a surprise gift.
"Waaaaa waaaa waaa waaaa waaaa waaaaaa wa waa waaaaaa." If you understood this, then you know Charlie Brown. More importantly, if you understood the unmistakable voice of the never-seen teacher, then you know, or at the least appreciate, Charles Schulz.
The shot is in the air, and the fans are hushed with hope. Everyone saw the catch, jump, release and the ball slide through the nylon net.
The work of the day was done, and she watched from behind the white and blue curtains as he walked to the house.
She was once blonde and young, and her skin was warm and with life. Now she is old, shuffles to walk, takes long naps, and her skin is thin, white and cold.
Sometimes you watch. It is late in the day and the moon is early, curtseying in the sky.
He has a splinter in the index finger of his right hand, and he looks to the eyes of his father.
If all good stories have a beginning, then this great story really does not begin nor does it end.

The lighting effects are truly stunning. The sound is also top-notch. [Feb 2006, p.96]
One of the most enjoyable if short-lived gameplay experiences. The game is practically a work of art, but that may not be enough for everyone.
Not so much a game as an experience. Simply put, it's emotional, exciting, scary at times, and terribly fun.
It won't take you long to blow through King Kong, but its sometimes thrilling, often tense, and always entertaining adventure is absolutely worth checking out.
This dazzling, determinedly populist experience was not made according to the standards other games are made by, and when judged – or even just described – by those standards, it might seem slender to the point of frailty. [Christmas 2005, p.101]
Certain aspects of the game work brilliantly although (such as the ecology) with the world of Skull Island coming to life quite naturally. It does tend to drag a bit in places and the pacing can be less than consistant but overall its a good title.
King Kong is perhaps a redefinition of the cinematic videogame – entirely based on peaks and troughs of excitement, and devoid of any sense of choice. Just like a movie, but interactive. [Christmas 2005, p.98]

Basic Parisian hotel... but a brilliant location.
Advantages: Close to some good shops, a good metro station and not far from the Eiffel Tower.
Disadvantages: Tiny room, paper thin walls (and I MEAN paper thin) and quite tired rooms.
...* hotel as it was in a good location and it looked nice enough on the pictures, it wasn't badly priced too compared to similar hotels in Paris.
The Hotel's Location
Europe Hotel is in an ideal location on a busy street. It's situated only a 10-15 minute walk away from the Effiel Tower, which was amusing on our first day as we stood with a map wondering where the busy street we were standing in...

Review of Doubletree Hotel Gateway Village, Charlotte
Doubletree, Hilton quality at affordable prices.
Advantages: Beautiful, clean hospitable hotel, bargain price
Disadvantages: Cant think of any
...I stayed here for 5 days in late November 2008. I would definately recommend. Doubletree is a Hilton hotel and you get what you expect from that brand here. There was a shuttle service from St Louis Airport, which was free, the car park was also free and they bake delicious fresh cookies behind the front desk, which they hand out liberally, also FREE.

Review of Doubletree Hotel St. Louis at Westport, Saint Louis
© 2014 Shopping Guide GmbH


text:
It took two years to build it in reality, ten seconds of montage to put it together on screen, and about ten minutes to steal it. In a rare automotive example of life imitating art imitating life, the Nissan Skyline that Paul Walker drove in the latest Fast & Furious movie was stolen from its storage facility in Los Angeles.
Although dressed up to look like a full-on R34 GT-R for the movie, the car underneath was actually a lower-spec GT-S. Reports indicate that thieves, evidently knowing the car was inside, broke through a metal door and ripped off that specific car, leaving the rest but sideswiping a Studebaker and a Porsche Boxster on the way out. And to make matters worse, the car, valued at around $75,000, wasn't even insured. Considering the movie grossed $72.5 million in opening-weekend box office sales alone, we doubt the seventy-five grand will be terribly missed.

DSV Temperature Controller as Sous Vide?
- THoey1963 Apr 25, 2013 03:43 PM
I am interested in trying to use the Sous Vide method of cooking, but not interested in the price tag. While searching here and else where, I stumbled across the following for a DSV Temperature Controller that I could use with an old crock pot:
Anyone have one or know if it is worth it? $99 on Amazon might be worth a try if it is any good...
Calling it "DorkFood" is a little much! This dork "resembles that remark"!
I use a controller from Auber Instruments (http://www.auberins.com/ ) that was a little more expensive (maybe $150). It works well, provided you are OK with +/- 1 degree control. It has the advantage that I can also use the same controller to control fridge or freezer temperature -- e.g. for lagering or cheese-making.
I have a DIY version of that, built using an arduino for about $35. It works fabulously.
You still have the (potential) issue of needing a circulator if you want to be true to the real thing. I was thinking an aquarium pump...
ETA that if you are in posession of the connections, ability and/or desire to DIY one, you can make it programmable for time and temperature intervals which I find quite useful.
I use that exact same one with an old crock pot and it works like a charm. btw, you have to an old type crackpot (non-digital) in order for the thing to work.
I went ahead and paid the extra money for the Auber. Paid a little extra to get it sooner too. Have a nice ribeye in the fridge with it's name on it... ;)
Ok. Got my Auber today. Had a little time to play with it (not actually cook anything). Filled my 4 quart crockpot with warm water, connected everything, set it for 134, and saw it rise up and then stay at 136 for the rest of the time I had. So, before I cook with it tomorrow (1.5 inch thick ribeye I bought to try it out), I have some questions.
1. I set it for 134 as that is what I remembered reading for RARE to MEDIUM RARE. But, it held at 136, not the 134 that I selected. Now, looking at another chart, I see 138 for a medium ribeye. What should I set it at to cook it right and knowing that when I shot for 134 it held at 136?
2. Do you just throw the probe in so it is laying on the bottom? I was thinking that since the crockpots supposedly heat from the bottom that this might explain the higher reading.
3. When I put the bagged steak in, do I let it just lay on the bottom too? Or do I need something to hold the bag upright so that the bottom heat doesn't cook one side more than the other side?
re: THoey1963
Best if probe end is suspended, not touching sides, bottom, or (and this is trickier) the bag.
What kind of bags are you using?
re: THoey1963
A crock pot has a lot of thermal mass, when the water reaches the set temp and the controller turns off the heating element there will still be a lot of thermal energy in the crock that will continue to heat up the water bath past the set point. You can try to minimize this by using the low setting on the crock once it has reached the desired bath temperature. The probe should not be touching the crock since the crock will be at a higher temperature than the water bath when the heating element is on. The bags containing the steak should also not be laying on the crock for the same reason, the side touching the bottom will be exposed to a higher temperature than the other side. A small cooling rack on the bottom will prevent direct contact with the crock. Adding some circulation to the bath will help even out the bath temperature, you could use an air stone hooked up to a small aquarium air pump to do this.
Thanks for the replies. Don't have anything like a cooling rack that will fit. Tried a steamer basket, but it is elevated too high. Have an old, light weight, aluminum lid that I placed on the bottom. Hopefully that will work for today.
For the probe, I got three long zip ties and connected them in a loop going from handle to handle. Dangled the probe off that so that it is submerged, but not touching. Not pretty and doesn't let the lid seal well, but should work.
I went with a quart sized ziplock bag to cook the meat in. Took me a couple minutes, but got most of the air out so that it doesn't float.
Giving it a run now to test the temperature. Staek is still in the fridge. Will probably bring it to room temperature and then through it in around 4 pm and plan on eating around 7.
Plenty of time for any last minute tips...
re: THoey1963
IMHO - you'll be fine with steak if you're reading 136 instead of 134, other proteins may not be as forgiving (eggs being one in particular)
if you want to keep the steak off the bottom, you can use anything - small dish (like a ramekin), or even just a wad of tin foil - but I haven't had a problem, though I tend to move my bags around every 30 min or so (what can I say, I have trouble just "leaving it alone"). Again, steaks are pretty forgiving with a few degree differences.
I like my steak (when cooked regularly) about 135, so that is the temp I shoot for (that is my medium-rare). If your steak is thin and you are thinking of searing after (which I recommend) then you might want to be a little less. If it is thick, the quick sear won't impact the center of the steak significantly.
Have fun! Enjoy!
Someone on one of these threads highly recommended burgers cooked sous vide - haven't done it yet but your thread has made me think about getting my equipment out again!
re: thimes
I've done boneless, skinless chicken breasts with good success. Served with a sauce (I used mushroom), they don't really need to be seared which, with chicken, is more cosmetic than anything. With steaks and chops, I think the sear does affect flavor.
re: grampart
Chicken was next on my list, but those burgers mentioned above sound good too...
re: THoey1963
Have you tried any fish yet?
re: grampart
The steak that is cooking is the first meal. Just got the PID yesterday.
As a side note, just went to check on it, and the PID temp is showing 133 when I have it set for 136. Bumped it back up to 138 to see if it will bring it back up. Not sure why it did that.
re: THoey1963
Sorry, I forgot that you just got it. My Dorkfood unit stays on temp for the whole cook. What's happening with yours doesn't sound right.
re: thimes
PID was set at 138, but current temp showing 139/140. I tend to like a little more rare than medium rare, so I rolled the pouch over and dropped the PID to 136.
Just had lunch, so I am not hungry, but the anticipation is making me want to rush it. Another couple hours and I will saute up some mushrooms and onions. When they are done, turn up the heat for the sear.
Dinner was great. The steak came out very tender, almost like a prime rib.
I am thinking the inconsistencies on the heating probably have more to do with the old crockpot than the PID. Will have to rethink that side of the equasion.
Going to try to attach a couple photos. First time I have done it on CH, so lets see if I get it right.
re: THoey1963
Well, now I'm hungry for steak. And mushrooms and onions. That looks delicious.
Whatever you do, don't toss that old crock pot. IME the newer ones are much worse for uneven heating. If anything, look for an even older one!
Or, as I said, circulate the water...
re: THoey1963
I think someone else mentioned that if you do decide to get a new croc pot, just make sure you don't get a digital one. They don't work with the constant "on/off" function of the PID (which is how the PID is controlling the temp). It has to have a manual dial.
Before upgrading to my "fancy" sous vide equipment, I actually bought a large table top roaster from amazon/target/somewhere like that - it worked great for large batches/parties. It was somewhere around 20 quarts and got quite a deal on it.
re: thimes
+1 to the large roaster. A larger volume of water would be less sensitive to temperature fluctuations...
Went to Wally World today to get a roaster pan. Of course they don't carry it now. Got a 900 watt hot plate and will use my own pots. Got an aquarium pump and hose for aeration. Saw the Foodsaver 3400 series and got one of those and supplies too.
Used heavy duty paper clips to weigh down the hose.
Brought the water up to temp via the stove and now using the hot plate / PID and holding steady at my target temp. Bouncing from 137 to 139 with 138 as my target.
Pot lid was pushing the probe against the pot wall, so just using a plate on top. Noisier with the bubbles, the pump, and the plate gently rattling.

REGINA — The Canadian Football League is on pace for its lowest-scoring season since 1979.
Why are defences so dominant in 2014?
"I don't know," Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant says. "I think each year, it's a different side of the ball that takes the forefront," Durant says.
The numbers bear that out.
In 2013, nary a word was heard about a lack of offence as an average of 52.4 points per game were scored.
This season, however, the average has dipped to 45.27 at the midway point. The CFL has not had a comparable figure since 1985, when the average was 45.36. If the numbers stay constant, the CFL will reach its lowest scoring total since it dipped to 40.2 points per game 34 seasons ago.
In 1985, Richie Hall was in his third season as a CFL defensive back with the Calgary Stampeders. He played for nine seasons, spending the final four with Saskatchewan.
As one who is also a veteran defensive co-ordinator, Hall is eminently qualified to discuss the changes in the game over an extended period.
"They say that everything goes in a full loop," says Hall, the Roughriders defensive co-ordinator. "What they're doing now, they might have done 40 years ago, but eventually it comes back.
"When I played, it was a two-back league and four receivers. Then it went to the wide-open (style) and now in some ways they're resorting back to it as far as offensively, playing with a tight end — maybe not the big tight ends that they had, but the body types.
"It's just evolution. Offences always get ahead. Defences catch up and get ahead a little bit, and then the offences kind of change. It's very intriguing. It's fun. I've been blessed to be here for so long in the CFL where it has gone back somewhat to the way it was when I first came in."
An average of 51.6 points per game were scored during Hall's rookie season. Two years later, the figure dipped to the aforementioned 45.36 figure, but the tide soon turned.
By 1991, the average had skyrocketed to an eye-popping 64.2. That year, Hall was a member of a Roughriders team that set enduring franchise records for points scored (606) and points against (710).
The defensive total — still the highest in CFL history — is especially noteworthy. The Roughriders allowed an average of 39.4 points per game that year.
At that time, offence was in vogue across the league, with quarterbacks such as Doug Flutie, Kent Austin, Matt Dunigan and Tracy Ham leading their teams up and down the field.
With Flutie at the controls, Calgary established a league record for points scored (698) during the 1994 season. The six highest single-season point totals of all time were recorded during a period that spanned 1990 to 1997.
"Will they ever put up those numbers again? I don't know," Hall says. "I just hope that if I'm still in the league, it's not against one of our teams defensively.
"It's fan-friendly and that's what fans want. Fans like that excitement and they like the big scores and the big plays and the offensive appeal to the game."
But, lately, that is not the nature of CFL offences. The pendulum has shifted away from wide-open passing attacks to a run-oriented attack — an evolution that has been dictated, at least to an extent, by defensive configurations.
"When we put in an extra offensive lineman and teams want to keep (defensive backs) on the field to stop the pass, that's the time to run the ball," Durant says.
"Defensive backs from down south, they're not used to playing in the box. They're not used to taking on blocks and doing different things of that nature, so when it's their time to do that, they're not ready.
"When an offensive lineman gets his hands on a guy who he outweighs by 100 pounds, it makes the run game that much easier. I think teams are just smash-mouthing a little bit more because more defensive backs are on the field trying to take away the pass game."
The success of that approach is underlined by the fact that the league is lacking a dominant receiver. This, too, may be cyclical.
"There's an evolution and a changing of the guard because there's a lot of young receivers," Hall points out. "At some point in time, the Milt Stegalls and Geroy Simons, they can't play forever and someone's got to carry their torch. They're going to bring their own attributes to the game in regards to the way the game is played now.
"At some point in time, no one had ever heard of Geroy Simon. I remember in my era and guys like James Murphy and Mervyn Fernandez. It was a different style of game.
"Could they play now? Oh yeah, they could play now, but there was a changing of the guard because there was somebody before them. It's just that vicious circle."

|This is a really quality route minus the two no hands resting ledges. Things really get interesting as you race through the final crimpy face section in to the crux dihedral. The moves in the dihedral are way better than the dihedral moves on "Boomerang" or "Eye of Mordor." A tricky knee bar greatly reduces the difficulty of the dihedral. This is my new pick for best 5.13 on the wall.

Police to get greater web censorship powers
Is there some reason
why the police think that the normal course of law does not apply to them?
If they have information that a site is being used for crime, then go to court, and get an order to close it.
If they're not going to do that, we simply have a police state where the police censor information they don't approve of.
Swedish prosecutors seek Assange arrest
"The identification, exposure, or termination of employment of or legal actions against current or former insiders, leakers, or whistleblowers could damage or destroy this center of gravity and deter others from using Wikileaks.org to make such information public."

How are they going to ensure
that the people watching the streams are complying with the terms of the DPA, with regards to such things as data storage, SARs, and such like?

Yeah, we have these things called 'Certs'...
Someone is annoyed that they can't work out how to burn an iso to a CD...
If you can't be bothered to read a man page, and expect everyone to spoon feed you answers, then it's probably best that you don't engage the GNU/Linux community.
It's probably not for you.
If you can't come to terms with reading a man page
Then you probably have no business being a sysadmin.

I haven't been following this much, but this DEA sounds like a way for companies with lots of money to bypass the bothersome task of actually having to take people to court to show how they have had their rights infringed upon.
Is US prudishness ruining the internet?
Of course,

Why not, both of them probably post on here anyhow.
Post Office complaints: Write to M.BARRASS
Why does it matter what name is on it?
It's been signed for, and delivered to the addressee.
What difference does it make what name is used?
Bollywood 'recruits DDoS hired guns to fight movie pirates'
An observation.
Making available for download a torrent file which points towards files hosted by other people is not a crime.
Denying access to that file by means of an attack on the network which hosts the torrent file is a crime.
