"I got this recipe from hillbillyhousewife.com, but a reviewer has informed me that this is originally from Joanne Stepaniak's "Uncheese Cookbook." (Thanks!) I think it tastes best after mellowing in the fridge overnight. This "cheese" may be sliced thinly and used on sandwiches. It is magnificent with sliced tomatoes or fried tofu. It makes a decent grilled "cheese" sandwich, especially with some fake bacon. This recipe does not taste exactly like real dairy cheese. I think it tastes better than soy cheese though, and when you have been without dairy cheese for a while, this cheeze is remarkable satisfying. Agar works just like gelatin. Gelatin is made from animal bones and hooves. Agar is made from sea vegetables. Powdered agar can replace gelatin measure for measure. One tablespoon agar flakes is equal to 1 teaspoon powdered agar."

"Pree-ti good :)...for me it needed a leee-tal bit more flavor so I ended up playing with the recipe...divided it into 4 portions and added hot spices to one, nuts and dried cranberries to 2 others and extra garlic, herbs and seeds to the last...poured them into little flower molds that had chopped nuts on the bottom to make them sort of like the "cheese log" typey thangs when they came out topped w/ them ='ed neat :)...served at a Christmas brunch and were a super hit...thanks"
"Not bad at all and very easy, too! I didn't use the pimento, but after reading the other reviews, I did ad in some cayenne pepper and about 1/4 tsp. dry ground mustard. They gave it a little "umph." I've eaten it on organic corn rounds and it does taste good, although not like the real thing. It does, however, smell almost identical to extra sharp cheese! I will continue to make and encourage others to give it a shot!"
"fabulous. i'm going vegan for lent and have only tried those horrible store bought "cheeses." i put more lemon, salt and 1 serrano pepper in mine for a kick. i only recently started using agar and i love it. also i put them in six heart chaped molds for a little extra cuteness."
"Please credit author Joanne Stepaniak for this fantastic recipe and others from her "Uncheese Cookbook.""
"I am very pleased with the results. It's better than I had expected. I love regular daiy cheese, but am trying to cut back on eating it. I know that no vegan cheese is going to taste exactly like cheese, so I was expecting someting pretty different. This looks like cheese, and when melted on top of spicy foods really tastes quite good. I think that next time I make this, I will add some more flavorings such as some salt and some chili powder. This was also my first time using agar agar, and it is great. It sets up quite firm and the testure is good. Thanks!"
"I think this is fairly good when cold, but when melted it has much more flavor. The fabulous thing is that it actually melts like dairy cheese. Shreds like cheese too. I added 1/2 tsp. salt and think it can use even a bit more. Next time I make it I'll add an extra 1/4 tsp. All in all this is better than any of the commercial vegan cheeses on the market that I've found. It's easy to make too."
"This was a delight. For the orange color I used soaked sun dried tomatoes and a piece of red bell pepper. I also seasoned with Braggs Liquid Amino and Liquid Smoke flavoring. It tastes just like smoked cheese. I believe I added too much mustard, as it has a bit of a wasabi effect, but not bad. Thank you for sharing."
"This is good! Good on crackers, shreds well, makes a good addition to burritos... I followed the instructions but added about a teaspoon of salt. Tastes WAY better than any store bought stuff I've had."
"it is so gooooodddd!!!!!!!!"

With a few discarded mailing tubes, construction paper, and Fiskars Squeeze Punches you can craft these characters in under 20 minutes.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
Because of their simplicity, they lend themselves well to making a big impact by hanging a profusion of little embellishments from the bottom bar of the frame. I've seen this done with butterflies and it makes a stunning decoration.
My paper lanterns were to be used for wedding reception. Since I was using confetti, instead of hanging each of my small embellishments individually, I encased them in die cuts made using the Fiskars Fuse and wax paper. Wax paper right out of my kitchen cabinet!
I began but die cutting 2 scalloped squares from wax paper.
Next I used a variety of Fiskars Hand Punches, Squeeze Punches, and Lever Punches to make confetti. I used a combination of patterned paper, book paper, tissue paper, and cardstock, punching the pieces right over the top of one of the wax paper squares.
After topping the pile of confetti with the second square, I carefully stitched around the perimeter of the layered square with my sewing machine. I used a long stitch length to avoid perforating the paper so closely that it would tear easily.
To hang the confetti packets from the lanterns, I tied strips of muslin to the frame and used tiny clothespins to clip the other end of the strip to the packets.

Tim Marvin sends us news of a bicycle superhero in Portland who rides around fixing flats and helping those in need.
Does a 'phantom' bike hero ride Portland at night? Cyclists want to believe
by Joseph Rose, The Oregonian
Years ago, we had a plan to drive a yellow VW bug around the Oakland hills fixing flats and yelling at people in Italian to ride faster.
And then there's Monty Python's version which is, like most humor, perhaps the closest to reality:
A Bicycle Superhero?

Thora Birch and Marlon Wayans are among the forces of good defending the Empire of Izmer from the diabolical grasp of mage Profion (Jeremy Irons). The past is prologue when the evil returns years later to avenge what transpired in Izmer. Can five young stalwarts thwart the fiendish traps, spectral ghouls and mighty armies of hell? The answer - and the thrilling spectacle - comes in Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God.

To to counter Profion's plans, a young mage named Marina has to find the legendary Rod of Savrille--they key to controlling the Red Dragons. Marina teams up with a rowdy dwarf, an elf, and a pair of thieves named Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans). But even with the help of this team, Marina's path to the Rod of Savrille is a rocky one laden with booby traps, puzzles, and Damodar--Profion's henchman, who threatens death at every turn.

Smith Stance 'Horrorgami'
Member since
Good value, hot looking pair of goggles. Deal included 2 lenses and both have been put to good use. Frames appear a to be a wider fit, however my face is more narrow & they fit me well. Found them fine for use with helmet, or not. Horrorgami green matched my young son's Smith Gambler green googles. Good product - no complaints. Rec'd fast delivery.

Why TiVo (TIVO) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TiVo (TIVO) was gaining 3.4% to $13.21 Thursday after announcing a deal with Canadian cable TV company Cogeco Cable.
Under the new deal Cogeco will roll out a multi-screen TiVo DVR solution to its 800,000 cable TV subscribers sometime by March 2015. Cogeco will abandon its previous plans to roll out an IPTV service in order to offer the TiVo solution. The deal is TiVo's first with a Canadian pay-TV provider.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.TheStreet Ratings team rates TIVO INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate TIVO INC (TIVO) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in stock price during the past year and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the growth in the company's earnings per share has not been good." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 29.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to -$23.11 million or 4.17% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, TIVO INC's average is still marginally south of the industry average growth rate of 10.44%.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.37, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 3.31 is very high and demonstrates very strong liquidity.
- TIVO INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TIVO INC turned its bottom line around by earning $1.98 versus -$0.09 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 86.1% in earnings ($0.28 versus $1.98).

Food and Drug Law
Abbreviated Title: Topics in Food and Drug Law
Catalog Number: 5300
1.0 Credit
Priority: Limited Enrollment - 3rd Year Priority
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has the regulatory mandate to protect the American food supply, and to ensure that drugs are safe and effective for the purposes for which they are prescribed. This course will survey selected topics in food and drug law, including the new drug approval process, regulation of food additives and carcinogens, food labeling and nutrition, prescription vs. OTC drug status, and restrictions on pharmaceutical marketing. Related legal standards affect all of us as consumers in every day life, and have even greater impact in circumstances like end-of-life decision making. In examining food and drug law issues, we will focus on the tension between information gathering, risk regulation, and paternalism as themes in FDA policy making.

Santa down the chimney, flying reindeer, wishes coming true… the Man in Red and his entourage are one of the very best parts of the holiday -- especially for the under-five set. Help make the holiday even more magical with our amazing list of ways to "prove" that santa is real!

In this indispensable collection, The New Yorker dishes up a feast of delicious writing–food and drink memoirs, short stories, tell-alls, and poems, seasoned with a generous dash of cartoons. M.F.K. Fisher pays homage to "cookery witches," those mysterious cooks who possess "an uncanny power over food," and Adam Gopnik asks if French cuisine is done for. There is Roald Dahl's famous story "Taste," in which a wine snob's palate comes in for some unwelcome scrutiny, and Julian Barnes's ingenious tale of a lifelong gourmand who goes on a very peculiar diet. Whether you're in the mood for snacking on humor pieces and cartoons or for savoring classic profiles of great chefs and great eaters, these offerings, from every age of The New Yorker's fabled eighty-year history, are sure to satisfy every taste.
David Remnick has been the editor of The New Yorker since 1998. A staff writer for the magazine from 1992 to 1998, he was previously The Washington Post's correspondent in the Soviet Union. The author of several books, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the George Polk Award for his 1994 book Lenin's Tomb. He lives in New York with his wife and children.

Family hurt when fireworks set off in vehicle
Updated On: Nov 21 2013 02:05:57 PM EST
A single vehicle wreck on Interstate 270 that caused a massive traffic jam Wednesday morning was the result of fireworks being shot off inside the car.
And the driver is accused of being under the influence of prescription medication as well.
Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Al Notham said the 2008 GMC Acadia was northbound on 270 at Clayton Road when everything began to go wrong.
"We believe she left the roadway due to a distraction from fireworks being ignited inside the vehicle," he said.
The driver, Kara Koriath, 43, was seriously injured. So were her two sons, Andrew Dreste, 16, and Matthew Dreste, 13.
Troopers still haven't determined who set off the fireworks or why.
"Every year we get those calls of people shooting fireworks outside their vehicle. They light them and throw the bottle rockets out. I don't know if that's the situation here. We don't know yet if that's exactly what was going on here. We do know they were ignited in that vehicle," Notham said.
And the fireworks weren't the only distraction, according to Notham.
Koriath, who is still hospitalized, is also under arrest for DWI.
She was under the influence of prescription drugs when the wreck happened, Notham said.

Hi! I am pretty sure that's a crêpe from West Country Girl, which you posted about here: http://megzimbeck.com/2009/10/go-west-country-girl/
As far is *which* crêpe, uhhhh, not so certain about that. It looks yummy, though.
Anne says:
Well it's a galette and cidre. Maybe it's from the place you reviewed recently Go West Country Girl or from Breizh Cafe in the Marais. (Is that cheating?)
Phyllis says:
Definitely a Briezh Café crepe with a cup of cider. Maybe the Basque?
Zeva Bellel says:
Crepe from Breizh café.
Sophie says:
it's a galette. possibly a forestière, due to the creamy sauce? and most likely from breizh, since those are the best in paris. somehow i don't think the new place you wrote about, west country girl, would use those plates. oh, and a bowl of cider, probably brut?
Adam says:
I'm guessing that must be a galette at West Country Girl.
Jamie Samons says:
Yum. A crepe (mushroom?) from Breizh Cafe. Want one. Now.
Lil says:
Oooo galette de sarrasin from Breizh Café? (with bacon, mushroom, egg and cream?)
Theresa says:
Working from the assumption that this galette au sarrasin comes from Breizh Café, and having been duly stirred by those red flecks and dark slivers, I found the menu online and will take a chance with "La Bretonne" : poêlée de champignons, fromage, oeuf, poitrine grillée, crème fraîche de ferme, piment d'Espelette. How about it?
kara says:
I'm guessing it's a crepe from Briezh Cafe along with a cider, but do you need the exact type of crepe? I think I see a mushroom in there somewhere…
Sarah C. says:
This is a buckwheat galette from Breizh Cafe…yum!
Kelaine says:
A buckwheat crepe with mushrooms from Breizh Cafe.

The 2nd Algae World Europe also provides an objective review of the conversion technologies for producing high value co-products touted as the key intermediate step for large-scale algae commercialization. Considered as the 'factories of the future', algae contains proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids, which have many applications including Biodiesel, BioEthanol, Bio-jetfuel, Nutritional Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Pharmaceuticals, Aquaculture Feed and Animal Feed, Coatings, Bioplastics, Biochemicals, Fertilizers and Cosmetics.
There is also a one day focus on Algal Bioenergy at the conference, and a key representative of the European Commission will address the regulatory view on Algae as a feedstock of choice for the European Biofuel industry in a key session. Capricorn Venture Partners n.v. will also offer pointers on how to raise funds for algal biofuels project. Sessions will also explore the different routes to commercializing algal biofuels.
Other sessions on the agenda will cover advances in biotechnology to improve algal productivity, as well as harvesting and processing efficiency. The program ends with a site visit to SBAE Industries' new indoor and outdoor algae production and processing facility.
The 2nd Algae World Europe expects sets to attract an even mix of representatives from the academic, commercial and investment community to build meaningful links and collaborations.

When the assimilation of immigrants stallsApril 29,2013The immigration legislation percolating in the Senate has been pitched as an all-things-to-all-factions compromise. Illegal immigrants will be regularized, but most of them will have to wait at least a decade to gain citizenship. There will be more visas and new guest-worker programs, but also stiffer enforcement on the border and in workplaces.
The bill's real priority, though, is to accelerate existing immigration trends. The enforcement mechanisms phase in gradually, with ambiguous prospects for success, while the legislation's impact on migration would be immediate: more paths to residency for foreigners, instant legal status for the 11 million here illegally, and the implicit promise to future border-crossers that some kind of amnesty always comes to those who come and wait.
Today, almost 25 percent of working-age Americans are first-generation immigrants or their children. That figure is up sharply since the 1960s, and it's projected to climb to 37 percent by 2050. A vote for the Senate legislation would be a vote for that number to climb faster still.
The bill has been written this way because America's leadership class, Republicans as well as Democrats, assumes that continued mass immigration is exactly what our economy needs. As America struggles to adapt to an aging population, the bill's supporters argue, immigrants offer youth, vitality and tax dollars. As we try to escape economic stagnation, mass immigration promises an extra shot of growth.
Is there any reason to be skeptical of this optimistic consensus? Actually, there are two: the assimilation patterns for descendants of Hispanic (particularly Mexican) immigrants and the socioeconomic disarray among the native-born poor and working class.
Conservatives have long worried that recent immigrants from Latin America would assimilate more slowly than previous new arrivals — because of their sheer numbers and shared language, and because the U.S. economy has changed in ways that make it harder for less-educated workers to assimilate and rise.
As my colleague David Leonhardt wrote recently, those fears seem unfounded if you look at second-generation Hispanics, who make clear progress — economic, educational and linguistic — relative to their immigrant parents.
But there's a substantial body of literature showing that progress stalling out, especially for Mexican-Americans, between the second generation and the third. A 2002 study, for instance, reported that despite "improvements in human capital and earnings" for second-generation Mexican immigrants, the third generation still "trails the education and earnings of the average American" and shows little sign of catching up. In their 2009 book "Generations of Exclusion," the sociologists Edward Telles and Vilma Ortiz found similar stagnation and slippage for descendants of Mexican immigrants during the second half of the 20th century.
As National Review's Reihan Salam points out, even a recent Pew study painting an optimistic portrait of assimilation also shows third-generation (and higher) Hispanics with lower household incomes than the second generation.
This past need not predict the future. Maybe things will turn out better for the descendants of people arriving now.
But it's pretty easy to see how the third-generation stall-out could continue, given the trends — unemployment, family breakdown, weakening communal ties — already working against social mobility in America.
These trends mean that we're asking low-skilled immigrants to assimilate into a working class that's already in crisis. We're hoping that our dysfunctional educational system can prevent millions more children from assimilating downward into what sociologists have called a "rainbow underclass." We're also betting that the growing incomes of second-generation Hispanics will outweigh their retreat from marriage and rising out-of-wedlock birthrates.
All these bets may pay off. But maybe, just maybe, we should be hedging them a bit. If we want to regularize 11 million illegal immigrants, for instance, does it make sense to layer bigger guest-worker programs on top of amnesty? If we care about workplace enforcement, why not phase it in more completely before offering legal status to the undocumented? If we want to increase immigration overall, shouldn't we consider tilting the balance much, much more toward higher-skilled immigrants than the current legislation does?
On a blackboard in an economics classroom, the case for mass immigration looks airtight. But many of America's economic difficulties are rooted in social and cultural problems, and a policy that just ignores those problems is a policy that's likely to make them worse.
In the end, the promise of American life is more than just a bigger paycheck than foreign economies supply. It's a promise of social equality, intergenerational advancement and fluid lines of class. The fact that so many people around the world still find that promise appealing is a wonderful thing. But it's also important to be sure, while we decide how many of them to welcome and how fast, that we can still deliver on it.

Moloka'i (2003)
by Alan Brennert
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In the 1890's, at the tender age of seven, native Hawaiian Rachel is diagnosed with leprosy. She is separated from her family and eventually takes up residence at the Kalaupapa colony on the island of Moloka'i. She lives in this isolated location from childhood to old age, until sulfa drugs make leper colonies obsolete. She experiences happiness and sadness, love and loss, all while battling a disfiguring and little-understood disease.
The beginning of this book, with its exotic setting and child's perspective, reminded me of the beginning of The Thorn Birds. There's a potential made-for-TV miniseries within its pages (author Brennert is an Emmy-winning television writer). Rachel's circumscribed world is populated by stock characters such as the mother-substitute who represents the traditional ways of pre-colonial Hawaii, the gender-bending best friend who dispenses fashion and dating tips, and the loving man who dies too soon (actually, there is more than one of those).
I liked Moloka'i, but I didn't love it. I found the book easy to put down, because no matter how many sorrows she faced, I was sure that Rachel would make it through all right. Heroines in novels like this one always do.
I'm not sure why, but after a bit this book seemed to just drag on for me--whether writing style, lack of real events or movement, both, or neither, I can't say; but I was honestly considering a 2-star rating except that the ending worked out all right for me, since something actually happened then. Pretty good as a historical novel; but nothing extraordinary, to me, as a novel in itself, if that statement even makes sense.
This is set in Hawaii in the late 1800s, and continues through the first half of the 20th century. In the 1890s, Rachel is diagnosed with leprosy at only 7 years old; she is sent away to Moloka'i where lepers go to keep them from infecting others. She grows up on Moloka'i, always hoping she'll test so that she can one day leave the island and be reunited with her parents and siblings. The book follows Rachel's entire life.
This was really good. I don't really know anything about leprosy, except the stigma that is attached to it. It was heartbreaking to "see" those little kids being separated from their families to be sent off to an island where most of them don't know anyone (unless they knew of someone who had been sent there previously). There was another main character in the book, Sister Catherine, who was there simply to help the people. I liked both characters. I think I enjoyed the book a little bit more when Rachel was a child, but overall, it was a very good book.
for TLC book club; I thought I read this before, but it's not the book I remembered. Rachel is sent to the leper colony on Hawaii's Kalaupapa settlement, quarantined from her family and everyone who does not have leprosy. The tale is of her growing up, changes or lack thereof in the colony as it expands and grows, not keeping up with the outside world. It tells of her loves and losses, particularly her one child Ruth, who she has to give up so she can grow up healthy, because how leprosy spreads was not known. Eventually, sulfa drugs cure Rachel and she leaves the islands to find Ruthie. When she is dying, however, she returns to Kalaupapa to live out the rest of her life in the place that she knew most of her life. And the story ends with her death and being buried next to her husband and love, Kenji.
We all loved this book. The topic was one of which we were all ignorant; leprosy, Hawaiian history, treatment, etc. The author did a good job of keeping any one element from being demonized. The middle is a bit like a romp through history and not particularly connected to the story other than to show the passage of time. This is a tragic episode in history and yet the author managed to the story from bogging down.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312304358, Paperback)
This richly imagined novel, set in Hawai'i more than a century ago, is an extraordinary epic of a little-known time and place---and a deeply moving testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
Rachel Kalama, a spirited seven-year-old Hawaiian girl, dreams of visiting far-off lands like her father, a merchant seaman. Then one day a rose-colored mark appears on her skin, and those dreams are stolen from her. Taken from her home and family, Rachel is sent to Kalaupapa, the quarantined leprosy settlement on the island of Moloka'i. Here her life is supposed to end---but instead she discovers it is only just beginning.
With a vibrant cast of vividly realized characters, Moloka'i is the true-to-life chronicle of a people who embraced life in the face of death. Such is the warmth, humor, and compassion of this novel that "few readers will remain unchanged by Rachel's story" (mostlyfiction.com).
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:53:45 -0400)
Seven-year-old Rachel is forcibly removed from her family's 1890s Honolulu home when she contracts leprosy and is placed in a settlement, where she loses a series of new friends before new medical discoveries enable her to reenter the world.

Top Local Tips for Manila
Take a Taxi At the Boulevard Mansion , they are very careful about which taxi you get into. Security is right there all the time and they watch out for you. To take the wrong taxi in Manila can be risky, but the hotel makes sure of who has you and they only allow certain trusted drivers to pick up there.
A well kept secret I would stay here again, and plan to, in the near future!!! Just Hope my review, which is a Honest One, doesn't affect t the price, or have the Hotel booked full!!! My advise to travelers; look before you buy!!

IGEL's latest firmware update integrates Microsoft RDP 8.0 with new RemoteFX features for a better user experience with Windows Embedded-powered thin clients.
From the end of February, all models in IGEL's Universal Desktop series running Windows Embedded Standard 7 will support the new features in Windows Remote Desktop Services, making them ready for Windows Server 2012. RemoteFX will function even better in wide area networks (WAN) and extend the range of uses for high-performance remote connections.
Reading, UK, February 5, 2013 - With its first firmware release of the year, IGEL Technology is issuing a comprehensive update of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for all models in its UD3, UD5 and UD9 series running Windows Embedded Standard 7. This support for Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 8.0 will allow users to take immediate advantage of the many new features that Microsoft has introduced with the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. For instance, RemoteFX has also been optimized for use in WANs and will now be able to provide smooth, stable delivery of applications and graphical content including rich media and 3D visual effects. By integrating the native Microsoft RDP client into its firmware, IGEL ensures that it is providing the most up to date virtual work environment, one that can fully stand up to comparisons with a Windows desktop PC. With Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player and the best driver support for peripherals such as scanners, CD drives and security tools, IGEL Technology continues to offer optimum performance and the best user experience in Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments.
With its update to RDP 8.0, Microsoft has also added a whole series of new features to the RemoteFX protocol extension. All of these capabilities will now be available for IGEL thin clients running Windows Embedded Standard 7. They include the RemoteFX for WAN feature, which implements changes that enable users on WANs to also enjoy a fast and fluid (jitter-free) experience. This means that virtualized Windows desktops and applications can now be broadly delivered over WANs with a high level of graphics quality that is very nearly as good as experienced on a local area network (LAN) - without employing local codecs or multimedia redirection. What's more, all the features and benefits offered by the Windows 8 UI, as well as Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash animations, high-resolution videos or 3D applications can now also be readily used on a WAN. In addition, the RemoteFX Adaptive Graphics feature delivers a smooth and stable, rich graphics experience that dynamically adapts to the server load, the client access device load (client rendering speed) and network characteristics.
"With this new firmware, our Windows Embedded Standard 7 thin clients can now take full advantage of all of the benefits of Windows Server 2012 while also providing the full range of RemoteFX features and the best possible user experience. Of course, we're also working very hard on supporting the upcoming Windows Embedded 8 platform, which will definitely allow even greater increases in the flexibility and performance of centralized virtual desktop infrastructures within mixed IT environments," stated Matthias Haas, Product Manager at IGEL Technology.
These new features apply to all IGEL Universal Desktop series devices starting with the IGEL UD3 running the Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating system. The new firmware will be released at the end of February 2013.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs. In this Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo (http://www.CloudComputingExpo.com), moderated by Ashar Baig, Research Director, Cloud, at Gigaom Research, Nate Gordon, Director of T...

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker. The mesh of things that we manage must be segmented into zones of trust for sensing data, transmitting data, receiving command and control administrative changes, and peer-to-peer mesh messaging. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ryan Bagnulo, Solution Architect / Software Engineer at SOA Software, focused on desi...

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

This blog covers everything except sports and gardening, unless we find a really good link about using dead professional bowlers for mulch. The author is a StarTribune columnist, has been passing off fiction and hyperbole as insight since 1997, has run his own website since the Jurassic era of AOL, and was online when today's college sophomores were a year away from being born. So get off his lawn.
We have a fine layer of dust in several rooms of our house today, because of the teachers' decision to hold their convention in October. Since that's a good time to take a vacation, you think about the things you need done to the house you'd rather not be present to experience, and having floor sanders come in seems like a good idea. The varnish has worn through completely in the high traffic spots. There's a long scratch - you can't remember how that happened. The dog, perhaps. A remnant of toddler play, perhaps. Maybe you've forgotten that day when Captain Hook came over and wouldn't leave and you had to drag him out by his ankles. Whatever the reason, the floor looks bad. Let's fix that.
So because the teachers have their convention in October you tape all the cracks in the cupboard. Then you get up at 4:30 in the morning, because modern air travel requires you to build at least an hour into airport rigamarole. There will be someone who has 47 small containers of liquid, and will be surprised when the TSA agent forces them to perform triage and choose five. The signs? Ignored. The TSA agent walking around shouting about liquids, holding a Ziploc bag? Ignored. So the line backs up . . . which isn't good, because half the security in the Humphrey Terminal is closed for upgrades. Everyone's piled into one security gate. At 5:49 AM the crowd snakes through ten lines and spills into the skyway. Half the people have made their peace with missing their flight.
Why so many people at the airport at 5:49 AM? Because the teachers are having their convention in October.
But! We made it. With minutes to spare. The next day we were sitting along the lagoon at Epcot, eating Mongolian beef, because the teachers decided to have - oh, you get the idea.
It was a fine vacation, but if there wasn't a break we wouldn't have taken it. Odd how we react to the break by assuming that we have to do something, isn't it? No one leaves when any other group decides to convene; no one ever says "you can't have your convention in the summer? Really?" because we've given up on that one. But it was a good excuse to have the floor done. Too bad the sanders didn't put up sheets around the room, because they got dust all over the house; when you jumped in the bed, a cloud rose like a desert sandstorm. So we spent Sunday night washing the floor and the walls and every surface in the house.
Because the teachers had their convention in October.
TECH This article says that cassette tapes will be the next big storage medium. Hmm.
That brings back the old days for some of us, the merry hours spent listening to the hiss of static shouting bytes to a Ti/99 computer so you could load an adventure game. It also reminds you that cassettes, for a while, had their own sense of style. This page curates some bygone examples, including many I remember:
So very 80s: geometric shapes, clear plastic, little reel-to-reel tapes: modern as heck.
The author of this page of cassette tapes also has one devoted to VHS, which probably doesn't have the same appeal. No one misses VHS tapes.
News you can use: How to apologize to people depending on their zodiac signs. "I'm sorry you believe that distant celestial bodies have an influence over your moods" is not included.
SCIENCE! Thirteen billion years in two minutes: the life of a disk galaxy. You may wonder if we're living in a simulation like this one. Probably not.
Back to scrubbing the floors. See you around.
