Really easy and tasted fantastic! Even my super picky daughter ate it! Found the curry leaves at my local Global Market (lucky Saint Louis! and may add them to other dishes as well. They add great flavor! Although all of the mussels were eaten the first meal, some of the curry was left the next day and made a wonderful lunch for me! I will make this again and again! A new family favorite!

Oh, this was SO good and easy as well. Yes, you need to find curry leaves. Asian grocery stores may carry them. Yummy and beautiful!

This is one of the best plates of mussels we've had in recent memory! It was easy to make and best of all, we felt like we just had a great restaurant meal; it was that good! I wasn't too sure about adding the sweet potato when I first read the recipe but after tasting the complete dish, I'd say it was the part.

Are the generic versions of Lipitor as effective as the brand name?
- Q: Are the generic versions of Lipitor as effective as the brand name?
- A: Lipitor (atorvastain) is in a drug class called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). Lipitor is used with lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, and weight loss to improve cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood. By improving cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood, Lipitor is used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and need for heart surgery in people who have heart disease or are at risk for heart disease. Lipitor works by slowing down the body

Toyose – Outer Sunset
Toyose is way out in the Outer Sunset, Noriega and 45th to be exact. So close is it to the beach I wonder whether folks have taken their orders of Korean Fried Chicken down to the coast, perfect for an evening picnic or twilight bonfire. It didn't hit my radar until the New York Times ran a story on late night eats in San Francisco, focusing on where folks from the restaurant industry tend to congregate after work. We live in the Inner Sunset, but it still took us 10 minutes or so - even late at night on a Sunday - to make it out to the outer avenues. It's a Korean restaurant located in the garage of a residential building and its only distinguishing sign is the one above of a winking chicken. Cheeky and appropriate.
The interior is indeed garagelike and long and narrow, lined in wood with no windows. But the atmosphere is cozy and convivial and though the space is small, it's often filled with groups of young people and you can expect a wait on weekends.
Each table is given a bowl of popcorn to start - I don't think there was anything special about this snack - in fact, the kernels tasted a little stale. But we appreciated the sentiment.
The shoju-yogurt drinks are quite popular, and come in several fruit flavours. We ordered one to try and didn't much care for it - one-dimensional and too-sweet. But its size easily lends itself to sharing, and the little shot glasses proferred with the alcohol help stretch the bottle out among larger groups. This tends to be the case for the rest of Toyose's menu as well. However, what is noticeably different about this Korean restaurant, however, was the lack of banchan provided to round out the meal. The little dishes of seasoned and pickled vegetables, beans, tofu products and fish appear to be nonexistent? Perhaps the portion sizes of the rest of the menu makes up for this absence.
It's the food that really shines at Toyose, and serving sizes are enormous. We loved this dish of spicy pork piled on silken tofu, the delicate pillows providing relief from the powerful flavours of garlic, gochujang, kimchee and marinated meat.
We're also fans of the kimchee fried rice - also generously spiced and dotted with small bits of beef and green onion. The egg on top is of course, perfect and apropos, and you'll also get a bit of nori and seasoned spinach to mix into the rice as well.
Measuring some 14+ inches across, this was another enormous but familiar dish - an egg and rice flour pancake studded with seafood (shrimp and crab) and green onion, seasoned with sesame oil. I would have preferred the egg and flour to be a bit more chewy, but this was a fairly tasty rendering of a Korean staple.
But perhaps the best dish of all for late night, perhaps after a particularly hard night of clubbing and drinking, is our new friend, the Budae Jjigae. Loosely translated, it's "Army Base Stew," created in Seoul, South Korea sometime after the Korean War. Meat was scarce and the canned processed products (spam and hot dogs) from American army bases easier to procure. We - however misguidedly - decided to order this monster to go one evening. DD came staggering out of the restaurant, muttering while lugging his heavy bag. The budae jjigae alone consisted of 2-and-a-half quarts (about 10 cups!) of the fiery broth, in which spam bits, hot dog slices, pork, cabbage and kimchee were merrily swimming away. Separately packed (we got to put the dish together) were slim rectangular blocks of tofu, diagonal-cut thin slices of tteok (Korean rice cake), and green onion. And we received a shrink-wrapped square of instant ramen noodles which we disrobed and placed in a pot with the broth and other condiments. This is not a dish for the heat-shy, but oh, is it gut-bustingly good. Perfect for foggy Inner Sunset nights, or unusually warm San Francisco ones... but only late in the evening - when the mind throws caution to the wind and revels in consuming unhealthy but great-tasting food products.
Thanks to this recipe, we might try to replicate this beautiful monstrosity at home some day...
Note: we've tried their fried chicken, but feel San-Tung's are better. That's a post for the future.
Toyose3814 Noriega Street, San Francisco, CA 94122-3934 (415) 731-0232
Enjoy this article?
Wow, interesting sounding place and that budae jjigae does look like something to feed an army. But I agree, doesn't feel like a Korean restaurant without the panchan. Even one or two small plates.

|Putting the Beauty in Boot camp
Putting the Beauty in Boot camp
Two local health experts teach salon workers some healthy-living basics mixed with a little military-style discipline. Find out more about this co-worker competition.
Hair stylist Heather Morris had a problem — a 20 pound problem. The 26 year old gained the weight while carrying her son. She couldn't lose it. For her, the last few years have been a struggle. "I kind of yo-yo dieted, and my weight yo-yoed as well," Morris says.
So it didn't surprise her when lifelong friend Jen Main, owner of Jen Main Fitness, contacted her with a solution. Main has made a career out of pushing people to better bodies through fitness boot camps.
And she had noticed from her friendship with Morris and others just how hard it is for beauticians and salon workers to maintain a healthy lifestyle both inside and outside of the office, Main says. "All aspects of your life have to be in balance in order to maintain your health," she says.
For much of the beauty industry that can be extra tough. A long day at the salon often is marked by a grab-n-go lunch, a bite of sweets in the break room, a sip of sugary soda between appointments, Main says. It doesn't always add up to healthy living.
Morris echoes her friend's words and thoughts. "It's either one extreme or the other. You either binge in the break room or you don't have time to eat at all," Morris says.
Then the idea came to Main. She and nutritionist friend Stephaney Theobald decided to offer salon employees a special fitness program tailored to their needs. They call it "Making the Cut."
The program lasts up to 12 weeks. Participants will have one boot camp session per week, a body fat analysis during the first and last session, and a nutrition seminar with Theobald. Participants also will have a chance to purchase extra services from Theobald and Main.
"It's going to focus on strength and body fat, rather than weight," Main says.
And instead of focusing on quantity, Main and Theobald are striving for a quality program. "For this kind of program, it is all about baby steps," Natty Nutrition Owner Theobald says. "It's trying to teach people the science behind their body and why it works that way."
Theobald focuses her efforts on custom meal plans for her clients. It started out as a side job, but now she does it full time, as she helps clients reach the important balance of diet and exercise in life. "You definitely need to be active, but it is also about what you eat," Theobald says.
The first session took place in mid April at Ault Park. La Bella Salon in Western Hills, Beauty First Salon in Hyde Park, and Collins and Company of Fields Ertel each had about eight members sign up for the camps.
Among those who signed up was Main's old friend Morris. She may have done boot camps before on her weight loss journey, but Morris is particularly excited about this one, Main says. This excitement stems from her hopes that the balanced boot camps will serve her goal for a long-term lifestyle better than her yo-yo diets of the past. "With it being 12 weeks and a group of people, you don't want to give up," Morris says.
Morris especially won't want to give up as she keeps her eyes on the prize. The participant from each salon who shows the most overall fitness improvement at the end of the three months will receive one free outdoor group training session or an individual session with Main.
Whether that winner is Morris or not, she says she wants to "Make the Cut."
"I'm just excited to start living a healthier lifestyle consistently," she says.

3 Ways to Get Wasted On Texas Independence Day
Drinking holidays are just as important to the human condition as the economy, education, and good health. And let's be honest, there just aren't enough Fridays, Saturdays, and Super Bowls in the year to feel sufficiently hammered. So what's to be done? Find another reason. That's what Texas does.
March 2nd is Texas Independence Day, the glorious day in history when Texas broke away from Mexico and became it's own republic. Remember the Alamo? It's cool, no one outside of Texas does either. It's really a holiday of minimal significance and more of an excuse to get blitzed*, so we're rounding up three Texas-style cocktails to give everyone the chance to celebrate. Because if there's one thing Texas loves, it's thinking they know what's best for the good ol' USA.
1) Texas Tea
2 oz. each of vodka, rum, tequila, bourbon, triple sec, and Coca-Cola
Essentially a Long Island Iced Tea, but with bourbon. Because why the hell not.
2) Texas Rose
3 oz. Champagne, 1 dash cherry liqueur, 2 oz. orange juice, 1 oz. bourbon
AKA how to get a girl from UT back to your apartment.
3) Texas Tornado
Equal parts of Southern Comfort, pineapple juice, and Sprite
A great beverage to enjoy on the beach. Or on a hot day while patrolling the border.

Fact vs Fantasy and the endless struggle of the rumor mill
There are some of you out there who often come out and complain that our coverage is nothing more than an endless stream of incremental rumors, and that is true far more often than we'd prefer. Depending on the time of year, you could almost script the news yourself. If it is January we get to start off the year with the excitement of CES, but by February, we're likely talking about what the new Samsung Galaxy S device will feature, and what to expect from the new HTC flagship. March and April focuses on what to expect at Google I/O. May looks at what to expect at Apple's WWDC. June is for rumors about the new Nexus 7. July and August are filled with speculation (or more recently, accurate leaks) about the new iPhone, and Galaxy Note devices. September shifts to speculation on the newest Nexus and Nokia smartphones, and the next major iteration of Android.
Sure, there will be other devices that catch some buzz at different times, but in general that's the way the news has panned out the last few years. This year, the interesting side stories were focused on the Moto X over the summer, then the recent sales of Nokia and BlackBerry. Of course, the rumors on each of those could be followed back quite a while, and that's the real issue here: the rumor mill is what you all really want.
It's all about potential
HTC One Max pictured with Verizon branding.) But, once the big news has hit, no one really cares anymore.
The big example from this year has been the Motorola Moto X. During the rumor phase, we worked hard and got quite a bit of info from an inside source. We kept the rumors grounded, and tried to not let the hype overpower the real picture that was forming. We reiterated multiple times that the device would not have cutting edge hardware (though many of you ignored that and kept up hope for a Snapdragon 800 or 1080p display), because Motorola would be focused on performance and the software and hardware customizations. Even so, every tiny rumor grabbed your attention like nothing else we could post. The speculation in the comment threads routinely had no bearing on the information contained in the actual articles.
Then, the official announcement happened, and despite the expectations set, there was a backlash against the device, and then most of you lost interest. By the time the device was actually released, it almost wasn't worth posting the news about it, because so few of you cared to read about the story. The fantasy was ruined by reality, even though there was little reason to believe the fantasy in the first place.
Nexus 5 racks up huge page view numbers, but after the official announcement happens sometime in the next couple of weeks, all of the potential that has been built up will collapse into the mundane reality that the device will be a standard yearly upgrade. It may come through on rumors of a much improved camera, but after the Nokia Lumia 1020, it's hard to get that excited. More likely, there will be some interesting features in Android 4.4 KitKat that will excite users, but even the software reality sees the same treatment, especially with Android where it can take such a long time for most users to see the improvements.
Proving this phenomenon further are the various concept designs that come out throughout the year, which usually generate huge numbers, because readers don't care about what is as much as about what could be, regardless of how believable the ideas in the concept may be. And, of course, concept renders often try to fix the issues around a product raised by the most vocal opponents, which adds for some rarely acquired vindication.
A twisted web
The most troubling aspect of the rumor mill is just how pervasive it is. We here at PA used to have a "rumor" tag that we would put on posts that had no real verification available, but eventually that tag was removed partially due to overuse, partially because it was ignored by readers, and partially because we as writers have a duty to make sure that it is blatantly clear in our writing whether or not a story has any verifiable fact behind it. It's unlikely that we're going to bring back the "rumor" tag, but it might actually be better to add a tag to the relatively few posts around that are verifiably true.
idea of bias and how it is often misinterpreted and how bias is often read by the reader more than it is written by the author. The rumor mill intensifies this, because readers mistakenly think that because we are reporting a rumor, it must reflect the personal feelings of the author.
The trouble with that view is that it removes a key factor of the equation: you, the reader. We write stories based on what interests us, and what interests our audience. We know what kinds of stories interest our audience based on internal statistics, as well as comment thread activity. Whether or not you agree with the information of a story, the ideas presented, or the company's involved in the story, you express interest with engagement: reading, sharing, and commenting. If a topic doesn't resonate with users, we don't cover it as much (like Google Glass). If a topic does resonate, it gets more coverage (anything Apple/Samsung related).
Ultimately, that's one of the more awkward parts of this job. Perhaps it is all part of the anonymity of the Internet, but it is amazing how much we get blamed for doing our jobs, and how often readers ignore the fact that we don't do this for free. All we ask in return for bringing you news and commentary every day is that you turn off your ad blocker.
We don't make the news, we simply report it. Sure we have opinions on the news, because we are passionate about the subject matter. The aim is never to start an argument, merely to start discussions. We know that you all are just as interested in mobile tech as we are, or else you wouldn't be here. But, we aren't on opposing sides of a battle; we're all in the same world together. Based on the data we have, you all love rumors far more than you are interested in established information; so, it seems reasonable to me that we all come together to sift through the same pile of rumors to find the truth.

I don't know how much of an issue this has been for the staff here at PA, but rumours and interesting commentary (to which I include articles like this one) are why I visit, and what I consider the strengths of the site. Rumours are called rumours for a reason, and I do agree that they need to be taken with a grain of salt.
I would honestly like to see some sort of commentary in regards to the decisions made in device reviews and camera comparisons, as those are the areas that I feel are woefully inadequate on PA.

I loved this post. I've never had an issue with what gets posted in this site, but it's almost expected now to go through the comments and see "Enough with the *insert company or device* posts, why aren't there more about *insert company or device*? This really puts it into perspective, whatever gets the most clicks, gets the most attention later on.

Posting rumors or inside information is not the culprit here. I think the true culprit is when you are allowing "anonymous tips" to be plastered on the site when there is no indication that they are truthful in nature. Sometimes I feel like you are doing it just so you can use the "Exclusive" tag on the post.
All I am asking is that you check your sources and that you use common sense when posting news or information. If you are unsure, then make sure it is known to the reader that it is simply a rumor and you have no way of knowing whether it is true or not. However, if you don't start checking your sources or using common knowledge you're going to turn into the Star magazine, or whatever those fake newspapers you see when you're checking out from a grocery store, of phone sites. Learn to be critical and have an actual opinion. Also, again going back to a previous comment under a review, I would like to see more critical reviews of devices. I want you all to be the ones to raise the bar so that way devices like the S4 and iPhone 5S are at 8/10 instead of 9.5/10. It then communicates to the manufacturers that they have to strive harder to achieve greatness.

Great read Michael! I have always tried to respect the writers but recently I feel there's been a complete lack of consistency in review scores, professionalism in some of the writing (I'm looking at you Ray) and overall quality that I've come to expect from my time on this site.
With that being said I feel you do a great job at keeping this place troll free (no pun intended :) and keeping up with the news on all three OS's.
11. techguyone (Posts: 114; Member since: 18 May 2013)
At the risk of upsetting PA staff, you could do worse than look at how GSMArena do their reviews of devices, they are much more in depth than PA (typically 12 pages vs 4) this is an area which desperately needs looking at, as is the seemingly endless 'comparisons' of completely different spectrum phones which bear no relevance to anything bar the fact that they have telephony functions. Compare like for like by all means, that would be welcomed, not phones at different ends of the spectrum.
12. PhoneCritic (Posts: 375; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I for one would like to see the Rumor tag return. But, I agree with what others are saying here. The reviews are lacking consistency and are overly skewed by comments such as " company (A) has made this material kool again" comments such as these really should not be included in a review when ( and this is the reason) it has always been seen as a negative for any other company that utilize the same material. In fact when the cost of a device is a con for one manufacture but not for another ( who's device maybe more expensive) it is breeding inconsistency and bias in said review.
Anyway I always liked your reporting and find you to be one of the few here that tries to take a real un-bias approach. Please pass on our suggestions to the managing staff.

It was bound to happen… She crapped out a black guy…
Kinda hard to understand how she could ever look in the mirror and decide this was a good idea.
Somebody taped a picture of Selena Gomez over the mirror.
Yeah, creepily resembles Octo's O-face.
I think she's actually re-enacting the birth of her twins.
Must be choreography for her musical tribute to the human centipede.
No WAY does she belong in the front of a human centipede.
omg haha
I hate pictures
Not pictured, stage right: extra special guest Miss Piggy wearing the exact same outfit
Her butt is so big, it's the only thing that'll get past those pillows.
People paid money to go see this.
For the life of me, I don't know how he got up there in the first place.
Hey McFeely's back! Where've you been man? Fish figured out a way to raise the dead? Or was it prison? It was prison right? C'moonnn. You can tell us. If ever there was a safe haven for delinquents and perverts, it's right here.
It's as if her vag exploded with rhinestones and sequins. That is ugliest unitard ever.
Hard to comprehend someone with her success making this kind of business decision. She paid some stylist, then a costumer a gazillion dollars, I'm sure, for that heinous tard. I think she's a tard.
Everyone was so focused on her ginormous ass, that nobody noticed that she has an equally ginormous crotch.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is Vajazzling for others now?
He put it in her ass, didn't he?
Who knew when you crap out a black guy it would be that exhusting.
She still got the hot bod. Always loved that ass!
She's all yours.
britney spears wore this ensemble a decade ago.
Once again, Spiderman saves the day.
Pretty much a re-enactment of JLo's first audition as a Fly Girl on in Living Color except with one or all of the Wayans brothers in back.
Good one!
Oh shit! I thought it was Miley!
that's how you stand up and take a shit
Looks like she's giving birth. Apparently hers and Puff Daddy's baby took this long to be born. There he is, directly behind her anus.
They shall name him Black Guy.
Cause they're lyrically talented.
"Help me Jamal, I'm constipated!"
Was this in Germany? 'Cause it looks like she's going to poop on him.
Her vag is so boring she is angry about it, like an old man in a deli who's soup is too hot
maybe so, but time will eventually solve the old man's problem – it's just going to make JLo's vag problems worse.
J Lo had to Blow …and that's why we call him "Scatman"
she just birthed her next boyfriend.
I legitimately thought it was Miley Cyrus at first glance, talk about signs you should fire your costume designer…
This is NOT, as some people have been misinformed, a musical performance. This is the finals of the South American Wind Breaking Tournament, and that's J-Lo on her last attempt, with one of the judges right behind her to confirm she doesn't shit.
Oh shit! Everybody run! Trust me, I've seen Prometheus like 3 times!
Thighs are pretty big . No one is going to rub one out over an of her pictures any more
"BULLSEYE", said Johnny Weir.
Not pictured – Big Black Cock
"Is there a gynecologist in the house?"
I'm doing my "Eww-face"
I like tacos and burritos and shitting them out.
"these bedazzles are making my taco itch…..ohhhh…."
dios mio, my labia is hung up on a sequin…
The swamp ass that backup dancers have to deal with in South America is horrible.
She looks hot!

Along the way he will join forces with some old friends and new faces with a variety of powers and abilities.

- ANA: We'll take 11 more Dreamliners, please
- It's official: United is first U.S. airline to own a Dreamliner
Attendant's gun accidentally discharged at Philadelphia airport
There was quite a scene Sunday morning at Philadelphia International Airport's security checkpoints. It all started just before 7 a.m. ET when an apparently forgetful flight attendant for a US Airways Express affiliate brought a loaded handgun to the security checkpoint. The firearm then was accidentally discharged by a Philadelphia police officer.
US Airways confirmed the incident to NBC 10 of Philadelphia, saying the attendant -- employed by US Airways' regional partner Republic Airlines -- brought the loaded .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver to the checkpoint, according to WPVI TV of Philadelphia.
ALSO ONLINE: Police: Horizon Air flight attendant stole flier's iPad
The 26-year-old attendant was stopped at the Philadelphia's Terminal C checkpoints, where Transportation Security Administration spotted the weapon in her carry-on handbag as it went though screening, TSA spokesman Jim Fotenos tells The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The attendant -- who reportedly has worked at Republic for more than 5 years -- is licensed to carry a firearm, but investigators say she claims to have forgotten it was in her bag.
The Philadelphia Daily News writes "per protocol, police were called, (Police spokesman Lt. Ray Evers) said, and when a responding officer was attempting to render the firearm safe, she accidentally fired it once. The bullet struck the floor, Evers said, and no one was injured."
The attendant was briefly taken into custody and then released after receiving a summary citation for bringing the gun to a TSA security checkpoint. As for the officer who reportedly discharged the gun by accident, police spokesman Evers tells the Inquirer: "She will go back to training for handling weapons. She will be off the streets for a period of time."

Facilities Wishlist .
Peralta Hacienda's In-Kind Donation Wish List
To donate any of these items, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or (510) 532-9142 to arrange a drop-off time.
Curtains and curtain hardware for the Center for History & Community
The CHC has many windows, letting in the beautiful sunlight. As some of you may have noticed, sometimes the sun shines directly into the audience's eyes, or interferes with slide shows and film screenings! We need to be able to control the light with curtains.
Lamps for exhibits
We need clip lamps, track lighting, or standing lamps with movable heads to use for our exhibits. Lighting is an important but expensive element of exhibit design.
Standing Lamps for the Center for History & Community
We throw many events in the CHC: from lectures, to concerts, to art classes, and we need lighting besides the fluorescents on the ceiling.
Throw rugs
We need throw rugs to protect the largest artifact in the house, the original soft redwood floor!
Large Rugs
We need a large throw rug for the Center for History & Community to help dampen the acoustics.
Runner Rug
We need a runner for the hallway to protect the largest artifact in the house, the original soft redwood floor! This should be a Victorian pattern, a very plain pattern, or else plain fiber matting.
Collections storage (large shelving)
Any large-scale shelving that can hold objects, big and small. We need to safely store historical objects that we do not have on display.
We have a large library of excellent historical and cultural books and articles that is currently being catalogued. We need both shelving and filing cabinets (a nice home for them upstairs in the Peralta House). If you are interested in using our books for research, please call and make an appointment to look at the books during office hours!
We need silverware to use for special events! Using real silverware will prevent landfill we would otherwise create by using disposable cutlery.
We need candlesticks to lend ambiance to our fabulous special events.
Two 80 foot garden hoses (or one 160 foot)
Community gardeners' beds are drying up in the park's sunny centeral area, ever since our former hoses sprung a number of leaks. Help the gardens continue to grow!
Sturdy Easel for displaying large poster boards
Help us impress funders and audiences by presenting landscape plans, proposed signage, maps, and presentation boards on a new easel.
Shovels & trash-grabbers
Help our growing Second Saturday Stewardship Day make effective use of every volunteer by donating additional shovels and trash-grabbers.

Reviews & Comments
Barter, initially friendly, gives way to a surprise attack. During the battle, Joe Blackwell and an African cabin boy become separated from the ship, and must hide from the marauding natives. With musket and cannon, Gray holds off the attackers while setting sail. From the rocks above, the two young men watch in frightened disbelief as the sloop vanishes into a foggy sea. The two young men are now marooned, in a remote and primitive land.
Their struggle, playing out against endless forests, rugged mountains and bountiful waters, is an epic tale of clashing cultures, fate, trust, love and conflict. The lads approach their futures quite differently, one pining for home and family, while the other aspires to Indian leadership. Tillamook Passage is a thrilling testament to the iron will, brave hearts and sharp wits of the gritty explorers who came before us. Two worlds… one destiny.

Three weeks ago Sling Media teased Windows Mobile fans with the forthcoming Windows Phone 7 version of its SlingPlayer Mobile video-streaming software, promising higher resolutions than it ever before delivered to a Windows handset. Today the app makes its Marketplace debut, available for nearly $30.

Microsoft has added a Windows Phone 7 app gallery to the Bing Visual Search library of structured data sets. Besides offering a convenient and visually pleasing manner in which to browse the Marketplace, the gallery allows the user to filter the full catalog of software -- updated daily -- by several different criteria, including category, sub-category, and price. This gives us the ability to tease out the fact that out of the 1,658 programs in the market at the time of writing, 483 are free, 753 cost 99 cents, and only 16 are over $10. Unsurprisingly, games are by far the most populated ...

Cocktail Flow has to be one of the most visually-rich applications for searching alcoholic drink recipes on any mobile platform - and it's coming to Windows Phone 7. What separates this cocktail app from others I've seen is the presence of a virtual stock cabinet. Simply tap on the ingredients (spirits, liqueur, mixers), which are represented with images, and the app will recommend drinks to make. As a bonus, it can offer advice on which additional items to buy in order to make even more drinks out of the contents in your cabinet. You can also search through a list of all cocktails, by ...

Two of the most popular app stores for jailbroken Apple products like the iPhone and iPad have announced an alliance, bringing together the catalogs of Cydia and Rock Your Phone after nearly two years of competition. According to both companies, Rock's entire catalog will be transferred over to Cydia's store, along with customer app licenses; users without a Cydia account will be asked to create one in order to access their Rock products. By combining their efforts instead of competing for customers and developers, the merged entity promises to eliminate duplicate processes and concentrate ...

Today is a federal holiday in the United States of America which commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It's commonly referred to as "The Fourth of July", but I take exception to that term, it negates the history and meaning behind the holiday - it's real name is "Independence Day". With that in mind, check out my "Independence Day apps for Android" video. In it I'll cover nine apps and one Live Wallpaper in 12 minutes. Take a look!

Reader Zohner recently asked, "Are you aware of any porn filters for Android phones?" What a great question! A lot of what we'll cover applies to any phone, and potentially your home computer, but some of it is Android specific. Steve Jobs threw in his two bits when he was asked about whether or not Apple would allow app installations via any source other than iTunes. "There's a porn store for Android... you can download it, your kids can download it. That's a place we don't want to go, so we're not going to."

One of the things I've wanted from day one was a way to view all the Android apps in the Market on my desktop computer. At Google IO we were given a taste of what that might look like, and today you can do that -- almost. Head over to market.android.com to see what it looks like! In its current version, the web-based view of the Market will let you filter apps by featured, top paid, and top free apps. You can then select an app to view it's title, developer, description and a couple screen shots. What's still missing are user comments, the entire library of apps (only featured apps are ...

Back in 2008 it was reported that Google had a "remote kill switch" built in to the Android OS. "Google may discover a product that violates the developer distribution agreement in such an instance, Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your device at its sole discretion." We've never seen exactly what that means, until recently. In a blog post by Rich Cannings, Android Security Lead, the decision to forcefully remove two apps from phone was explained: "Every now and then, we remove applications from Android Market due to violations of our Android Market ...

Let's say you're browsing the Android Market and decide to go all-in and actually purchase an app. Most apps are free, but some cost money. Those that do are generally fairly inexpensive (less than US$10), but there are those that can get into some serious cash. Once the price of an app raises above your "pain threshold" you might be hesitant to make that purchase. I'm here to tell you, you needn't worry! Google's Market is unlike any I've seen before. You can buy an app, download and install it, and see if you like it (or make sure it works). If you don't, not a problem, within 24 hours ...

It has taken a few years, but Slide2Play has finally hit version 1.0. S2P is a popular music player alternative for Windows Phone and the latest version has undergone a number of changes - all of which can be viewed in the change log below. Unfortunately, it's no longer a free app and will now carry a charge of $3.99 on Windows Marketplace for mobile. Although it's now a paid app, this is a positive move for fans of the player because it will likely translate to more frequent bug fixes and updates. A_C, the developer of S2P and S2U2, certainly deserves a reward for all the hard work he's ...

Avi Biran - Dialogue with time
Liturgical objects
from the collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague and contemporary
works of the Israeli designer Avi Biran
The production of Jewish liturgical objects seldom finds itself at the
forefront of interest in the Czech Republic where it is generally regarded
as a closed chapter. In view of tragic historical events there were
no new liturgical objects produced after the Second World War; the few
surviving Jewish communities made use of liturgical objects that in
many cases were hundreds of years old. The exhibition of objects by
Avi Biran, complemented by their historical counterparts from the collections
of the Jewish Museum in Prague, demonstrates that such objects are made
in the present and that these are no mere reproductions of earlier models.
As in the past, the inspiration is still drawn from traditional literary
and artistic sources. When developing these sources, Avi Biran is not
constrained by the original subject-matter; on the contrary, he likes
to explore unexpected connections whose basic qualities can be appreciated
even by the layman. In certain cases, however his artefacts are characterized
by different levels of meaning, an understanding of which requires a
specialist knowledge of Judaism. A common feature of all Avi Biran's
work is his inventiveness and humour, which are used as a way of getting
the viewer to think about his work and to try and find out what the
original source of inspiration was and how it has been adapted. Although
his artefacts may surprise viewers who are familiar with their historical
counterparts, on closer inspection one can see that they are all based
on deep historical traditions and meet all the requirements for use
as liturgical objects. Historical counterparts from the collections
of the Jewish Museum in Prague have been selected with a view to their
similarity in shape and function, regardless of their age and their
artistic and historical significance. The majority of these objects
are being displayed for the first time in this exhibition.
Avi Biran
Avi Biran was born in 1964 in Haifa, Israel and graduated in 1990 from Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Department of Goldwork and Silverwork . Since 2000 he has been doing postgraduate studies in industrial design at the Academy. He specializes in the production of Jewish liturgical objects in which he combines a feeling for tradition with a contemporary artistic awareness and professional craftsmanship. In what is a relatively short period of time he has already gained considerable recognition for his unconventional artefacts. He works mainly with silver and common metals but also uses wood and other organic materials, plastic and ceramics. He lives and works in Jerusalem.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a highly sophisticated technique for injecting one single sperm into an egg using microscopic and micromanipulation instruments. In men with low sperm count, low motility or a high number of abnormal sperm, this technique has proven to be a highly successful remedy.
Combined with IVF or ZIFT, the procedure of ICSI is able to achieve a high rate of fertilization and normal embryo development. ICSI has even been successful in cases where sperm must be taken directly from the testes (testicular biopsy) due to the absence of sperm in the ejaculate or a previous vasectomy. ICSI is also the best choice when other andrology tests identify a possible problem with sperm function.
ICSI is a more aggressive approach compared to traditional IVF. During a traditional cycle of IVF, the sperm and eggs are introduced together in a cultured medium, while the ICSI procedure takes an individual egg and microscopically inseminates it with an individual sperm. The successfully fertilized eggs are observed, graded for quality and reintroduced to the mother's uterus.

Tune into the audio archives of today's Conversation on KUOW, covering the Bike Master Plan and what it means for Seattle. As my two-year-old toddled around the house this afternoon, bike helmet atop his head, I couldn't help but hope that he will see a better, more bike-friendly, Seattle.
Later this week, I'll blog Beijing by bike. I'm visiting China for the Intel Developer Forum and Elliot Bay Bicycles is providing me a folding bike to ride around, check the city out, and experience the totally different world of China. And in that world, at least for now, bicycles still outnumber cars. For more on China, check
Those nuts at Nutcase Helmets sent us a freakin' case of helmets to review! So, it was like a helmet holiday at our house and the kids dug right into the package and put on a helmet fashion show.
I really have a thing for steel track frames. Steel is a fantastic medium of expression for the artistry of framebuilding. And I have very specific tastes. You can search the net and find whole sites dedicated to œold skool track bikes preferably lugged steel. Even more, there is definitely a cult surrounding keirin frames from Japan. However, I grew up in the Eighties when framebuilders were making crazy machines out of fillet-brazed steel for the track sprinters of that era. I especially liked those match-sprint 3Renshos and the bikes of East Germans.
Back then steel tubing was generally round and as double-butted tubing came in a limited number of diameters. These days one can get all kinds of steel tubing with shaped cross-sections and various butting profiles. I handpicked every tube for my bike, going for maximum stiffness with little regard for weight.

"The labels turned out exactly as pictured and very cute. They are perfect for the cards I'm sending out. I would absolutely order again."
"We love these address labels! We put them on all our wedding invitations, thank you cards, and will be using them into the first months and year(s) of our new life together. Thanks so much!"
"I LOVE THESE LABELS. They are just precious! They're so whimsical and happy and just great! I changed the font of the name so it's a little girlier and will probably get these same labels every time I move haha :) If you have a very long street address, you may have to shorten some things, cause there's no way to add a 4th line for apartment numbers or anything but it worked out great. So happy. Happiest around! :)"
"I'm not a huge fan of chevron, but these labels stuck out to me so I bought a sheet (I couldn't pick one design so I got 3 that order!). They are very cute! The fonts and colors work well with the design and they are perfect. :)"

Should Smokers Cough Up Money for Cancer Research?
This June, Californians will be asked whether cigarette smokers should subsidize research to treat diseases related to smoking cigarettes. California's Proposition 29, if passed, would levy an additional tax of $1 on every pack of smokes sold in the state beginning in October 2012. The tax would generate an estimated $615 million in 2012/2013, and […]

So many running training plans I see, even the beginner ones, assume that you run a 10-minute mile! I've been trying to run for the past several years, have completed 5K's, 10K's, and a half marathon, but I have yet to regularly see anything close to a 10-minute mile on my Garmin GPS or treadmill readout.
That's not to say I haven't tried. I've done running clinics with hill work, tried fartleks, and have even just gone out and tried to do my regular 3 mile run at a 10:00 pace, but I end up winded and exhausted after a minute of running at that pace.
I have come back to running after having my baby last year. I started slow, as a beginner again, and have been doing 2 mi runs at around 12:40/mi. Even though I can tell I have more cardiovascular endurance, since I don't need to take walk breaks, I still can't seem to get to even 11:00/mi unless I'm going downhill.
Why does it seem so easy for "everyone" to do 10- or even 8-minute miles?? At this point I would trade in all my running gear to be able to do 3 miles in 30 minutes or less.
I'm not overweight, and I don't think I am unfit. I just can't do a 10:00/mi pace if my life depended on it. Sigh. I am hoping that patience is the key to achieving this goal.
A girl can dream.

Passing THC drug test
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) drug test is a common test conducted to find out the presence of marijuana in your body. THC is the major psychoactive substance found in marijuana. Even low concentrations of THC may be detected by a urine test. If you require passing THC drug test to get employment, to prove your fitness level or for any other reason, you need to know the ways to pass the test. It is advisable to stop abusing drug immediately after you come to know about testing.
Detoxification is the best way that can help in passing THC drug test. Your body tends to create toxins, if you abuse drugs. Any drug residue within your system may lead you to failure of the THC drug test. Hence, it is important to detoxify your body before the drug test is initiated. You can find many detoxifying products, such as detox drinks, tablets and pills. You need to take any of such detox products a day or couple of hours before the scheduled drug test. It is advisable to drink plenty of water before starting the detoxification process. Eating light meals, fruits and vegetables can help you get better results. Detox products may require you to follow some instructions. Hence, you need to read the instructions in the label of the product thoroughly before using them.
Some detox products can be mixed with beverages. If you find it difficult to consume pills, you can use such products. Exercises may help you passing THC drug test. THC stores in fat cells, so you can burn fat cells and THC by doing exercises. However, you need to stop burning fat cells at least 48 hours before drug testing. Aspirin may interfere with the drug residues in the test, so taking four aspirins a few hours before the test may help you pass it. Though there are many ways to pass the test, detoxification has been proved to be the most effective method to pass the drug test.

An Accessible, Sustainable Playground
East Meadow, N.Y., is home to a new, fully accessible Let All The Children Play playground.
BBS Architects, Landscape Architects and Engineers served as architect, landscape architect, site engineer, and construction administrator for the two-acre facility.
It is the first fully accessible playground in Nassau County and one of the first in the United States.
The Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums developed the playground in a private/public partnership with Let All The Children Play Foundation.
The Long Island not-for-profit organization is dedicated to improving the lives and dignity of all children by developing accessible playgrounds and inclusive recreation programs.
Funding sources included $820,000 raised through the Nassau County 2006 Environmental Bond Act, the New York State CCAP Grant of $250,000, the $200,000 New York State EPF Grant sponsored by NYS Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation, Nassau County funds, LATCP funds, and private donations.
According to BBS Principal Roger P. Smith, AIA, LEED AP, "The new, $1.25-million playground is designed to promote interaction among children both with and without disabilities.
"It is a place where children can discover, learn and socialize, while developing understanding and sensitivity towards each other.
"BBS' design allows children of different physical and mental abilities, including those in wheelchairs, to play together and share every area and each piece of equipment on the playground," he said.
BBS assisted Nassau County and the LATCP Foundation with site selection, topographic survey coordination, conceptual and schematic planning, complete design, cost estimating, development of construction documents, coordination between the public and private funding parties, and development of fundraising materials and visuals.
"During the design process, we were guided by the idea of complete accessibility to all play areas and all equipment by children with even severe physical and mental disabilities," explained BBS Vice President and co-head of Site Planning and Design Group Curt T. Coronato, RLA, ASLA, CPSI.
"This included the physical access for children in wheelchairs, safety and ease of use by children with reduced abilities, design that allowed all children to play next to each other regardless of disability, increased sound and sensory play opportunities, and easy access to all areas by parents of children in need of assistance during play. The design also accommodates disabled adults."
"One of the design challenges – and opportunities – was locating the playground within an existing park with mature trees," Coronato said.
"Our team developed the playground's layout in a manner that preserved the mature trees. It required several creative landscaping and site engineering solutions, but the final result was a comfortable, pleasant playground with extensive shading and the feel of connection with nature."

Why settle for one type of cherry tree when you can have four mouth-watering varieties all in one tree?
Space-saving and cost-effective, the 4-in-1 Cherry Tree is cultivated by grafting four different cherry varieties into one gorgeous blooming fruit tree. No home orchard should be without this beauty.
These 4-in-1 Cherry Trees are truly a glorious sight when bright white to blushing crimson flowers bloom in early spring. They are fragrant and lend a magnificent splendor to the landscape.
Your bounty begins with the Black Tartarian Cherry, which can be ripe and ready for harvest as early as late May to early June. Semi-sweet, juicy and very delicious, this cherry is large and deep purple with a rich velvety dark flesh.
Two of Americas most popular cherries--the Bing and Raniercome next and both ripen from mid June through the remainder of the growing season. Sweet Bings are delicious snacks straight off the tree, and also make wonderful preserves and pies. First-rate Royal Annes are the sweetest and tastiest of all the cherries, which is why they sell for a premium.
Rounding out your luscious cherry-growing season, expect a later harvest with the Stella Cherry. In July, these large, nearly black and richly flavored cherries will be ripe and bursting with sweet goodness. This cherrys skin is smooth and resistant to cracking and tastes divine fresh off the tree.
Our nursery staff is trained to perform specialized pruning of these 4-in-1 Cherry Trees to provide you with the highest producing fruit trees available.
This tree is a vigorous grower, thrives in partial to full sun, and appreciates well-drained soil.
Most cherry trees require that you buy more than one tree for cross pollination to produce fruit.
However, the clever 4-in-1 Cherry Tree saves you money and space because it benefits from having four distinct types of cherries already present in one tree--so this unconventional darling is a self-pollinator. What a brilliant way to save yourself a few dollars!
Your 4-in-1 Cherry Tree is hardy and robust. At a mature height of 10-15 feet, this tree will fit nicely in most any size yard.
With the gorgeous shades of purple, red and orange, your cherries will be the buzz of the neighborhood for sure! Plan on visits from a multitude of birds and various other fruit-eating friends, too.
With our 4-in-1 Cherry Tree, youll enjoy at least three of these yummy varieties. This is one of our most popular fruit trees. Dont delay, order today.
Many orders are shipped the next day unless otherwise noted on our website.
Due to the extreme winter season, all orders sent to
regions below will be delayed.
No one delivers quicker. This ensures that your plants arrive in the best condition possible, ready to pack on vibrant color.
Brighter Blooms Nursery ships most items throughout the year, when it's most convenient for you. Most other nurseries send orders out only twice a year (spring and fall), making you wait weeks or months to receive your plants.
If you wish to delay your order, please Contact Us or call 800-399-9514.
We strive to bring you the healthiest plants possible, so we ship via FedEx. We've tested all the major shipping carriers, and FedEx is the quickest and most reliable.
With Brighter Blooms, you get large, well-developed 1 and 3 gallon plants- not tiny quarts and liners. These older plants bloom faster, give you more color, and require less maintenance.
We've found out that other nurseries chop off branches just so that it will fit into the smallest box possible. This can damage your plant severely, and leads to disappointing performance. We don't do this- your plants have been pruned throughout the year by plant experts to encourage the most blooms and best form.
Shipping charges are approximately 19% off your order. Sorry, we cannot ship plants to Alaska, Hawaii or PO Boxes.
