Anybody make this? I had a good lemongrass flavor until I added the coconut milk. Also, I am wondering if I should have strained the lemongrass out as it was kind of too tough to eat. Any tips on a stronger lemongrass flavor? Steep a long time in the chix stock?
Next up: Chinese hot and sour. I skipped buying lily buds as they were $7. Do they make that much of a difference? Thanks
One more thing; american cheese is the cook's dirty little secret in regards to beer cheese soup. I am not saying one doesn't use better cheese too, just in part, it provides a nice base for sheen, texture, and body and helps to keep it from breaking when being held for long periods of time.

Baby Names Inspired by Harry Potter
Posted by Janssen Bradshaw
Are you a Harry Potter fan? I still remember when my mom read the first book aloud to my siblings and me, and how, within one chapter, we were all deeply in love.
We went to the midnight sales of the last four books, we attended midnight movie showings as a family and now, as an parent, I'm eagerly awaiting the day when my girls are old enough for me to introduce them to the magic of Hogwarts.
Of course, one of the things that makes those books so magical is the vast cast of characters, each with their own back story and personality. The books also make a great repository of possible baby names.
I'm not suggesting "Dumbledore" or "Hufflepuff" (is there any baby in the world cute enough to pull off a name like "Hufflepuff"?), but there are plenty of great names in J.K. Rowling's enormous wizarding world that won't raise Muggle eyebrows.
Looking at these names made me want to read the whole series again. Here are my favorites:
Baby Names Inspired by Harry Potter
These 50 names cover the whole range of characters in Rowling's seven-book series. Which ones are your favorites?
The boy who lived. Of course this name starts the list off.
Do you think Princess Kate and Prince William are secretly Potter fans?
How can you not love Molly Weasely, who steps in as Harry's psuedo-mother from the moment she meets him?
Drop the G from Hermione's last name, and you have a boy name I really like.
A job in banking doesn't usually involve curse breaking, unless you're Bill Weasley.
If you want the longer version of Bill, William is a classic name (think Shakespeare, Prince William and poet William Blake).
If you're hoping for a Quidditch-playing child, you might consider this spelling of Viktor Krum's name.
Sirius Black's middle name. (Isn't this a GREAT name?)
Neville Longbottom's perpetually lost toad. But a nice name anyway.
Lupin and Tonk's son and Harry's godson. And who wouldn't want a godfather like Harry Potter?
Sybill Trelawney is the slightly kooky Divinations professor at Hogwarts. (If there was ever a great film adaptation of a character, Emma Thompson's is one).
Gilderoy might be a bit of a mouthful, but Roy is very manageable.
Was there ever a better best friend than Ron Weasley? I loved him from the first moment he appeared until the closing page of Book 7.
You may want to be wary of this name for a newborn, who might take to heart the werewolf lifestyle of staying awake all night.
If I were to sort myself into a Hogwarts house, I think it'd be Ravenclaw.
The Hogwarts nurse, who sees way too much of Harry throughout the series as he breaks one bone after another.
The eternal question – was Peter Pettigrew a better rat or person?
Penelope Clearwater probably was a lovely person, but had poor taste in boyfriends, if Percy is any indication (you'll notice his name doesn't appear on this list).
Ginny Weasley's name is actually short for Ginevra, but Ginny is more commonly short for Virginia.
It's so fun to watch Ginny grow from a little girl into a super-smart and fearless woman. She and Harry are a perfect match, I think.
The moment he appeared on the screen of the movie version of Book 1, I was a fan. A cute face plus a British accent? My 14-year-old self was delighted.
Okay, admittedly this name may raise a few muggle eyebrows, but I love this centaur name for a girl.
Nicolas Flamel, the creator of the Philosopher's Stone which caused so much trouble in the first book.
Voldemort left behind his muggle father's name, but I've always liked the name Tom.
I wouldn't personally go for Neville, but I love the name "Nev."
A writer of Charms textbooks in the Harry Potter universe. Don't you love how fleshed out the entire world of Harry Potter is? It's one of the reasons I love the series so much.
A lovely name for a girl who, unfortunately, betrayed Dumbledore's Army and got the wrong side of Hermione's curse for her trouble.
I was always desperate to hear more about Harry's parents, and the fact that Lily has long been one of my favorite girl names made me love her all the more.
Lee Jordan always made me laugh with his Quidditch commentary.
I think the relationship between Ron and Lavender Brown was one of my favorite fictional relationships of all time. So hilarious!
Dumbledore's mother's name; means "knowledge."
If you use this name, be sure to warn your child not to accept any mysterious cursed packages.
I'm not anxious to name a child after Dolores Umbridge, but I do love her middle name, Jane.
James Potter – trouble-making student who grew up to be a decent person and father of Harry Potter. Also, transforms into the coolest animal.
Fenrir Greyback is a male, but I love the name Grey for a girl.
At heart we all wish we were Gryffindors, don't we? (I'm way too much of a wimp, though).
Fleur is such a beautiful, feminine name.
Since 2000, this name has jumped from 207 to 23. It's also the first name of Madame Bones, who presided over Harry's disciplinary hearing after he summoned a Patronus in front of a muggle.
Lily Potter's maiden name is Evans – drop the S and it's a great boy name.
Dumbledore's younger sister. Means "very holy one."
Harry's long-suffering roommate at Hogwarts.
If Sirius is a bit much for you, this is a more popular twist.
As a stand-alone name, Charlie (rather than Charles) is moving steadily up the charts. Plus, who doesn't want to be named after a dragon-wrangling wizard?
This professor of Muggle Studies met an untimely end, thanks to Voldemort.
It was pretty impressive to me that Rowling could still make me like Cedric even when he was Harry's opponent in love and the Tri-Wizard Tournament.
Neville Longbottom's mother who lost her mind after fighting against the Death Eaters.
This Welsh name belongs to a Ministry of Magic Unspeakable and friend of Arthur Weasley.
I discouraged use of the name "Dumbledore" earlier, but his middle name (well, ONE of his middle names) is perfectly common.
I think every reader has a soft spot for muggle-loving Arthur Weasley.

Hi, we're growing our first pepper plants (in containers). Our Jalepeno and Pablano look great, but our New Mexico Big Jim looks totally depressed. The leaves are light green with yellow blotches, and what worries me the most is an inch of stem at the top that turned blackish brown. Is she dying? Does anyone know of anything I can do to help her?
I got them as babies. They got too wet in the beginning and I had to emergency transplant them into soil that drains better. The roots were mostly (but not completely) still white. They perked up immediately, but the Big Jim has never looked 100%, and seems to be worsening. Thanks for any help and suggestions! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sickly Big Jim
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe a phosphate/nitrogen deficiency. Add some bone meal and that should help. The blacking on the stem looks normal to me. Hopefully the experts will chime in with better advice. You may also want to take that lil pepper off so the plant can focus on growing larger which in turn will equate to a larger yielding plant. I usually add a couple table spoons of bone meal and work into the soil.Oh and the bone meal i use has 13% phoshorous 4% nitrogen. Usually greens them up in a week or two. |
I sure hope it's normal! My peppers have that, most of them. The Hot Cherries are far more black in fact but look healthy otherwise. |
Ay, caramba! Have I been freaking out over something completely normal?! AWESOME! I hope you guys are right. I'll pick up some bone meal asap. Gracias amigos! |

That's a normal condition caused by exposure to the sun and you don't need to do anything |
man, had me scared for a minute there. Being new to the pepper growing myself, for a second I thought there is somethign wrong with EVERY ONE of my pepper plants |
Oh my goodness, sorry for the scare guys... my plants had such a traumatizing beginning with all the wetness, wrong soil and transplanting that I was certain they were dying. I guess I was just looking for signs of death. Thank you so much fiedlermeister. I'm ecstatic to see a stem that looks like mine with a little pepper growing beside it! |

Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen
timothy posted about 5 months ago | from the and-he-approved-this-message dept.
169Nerval's Lobster writes According to Microsoft developer Raymond Chen, Steve Ballmer didn't like the original text that accompanied the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen in Windows 3.1, so he wrote up a new version. If you used Windows at any point in the past two decades, you can thank him for that infuriatingly passive 'This Windows application has stopped responding to the system' message, accompanied by the offer to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete again to restart the PC (and lose all your unsaved data). Update: 09/09 15:30 GMT by S : Changed headline and summary to reflect that Ballmer authored the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen, not the BSoD, as originally stated.

Thank you all for your very excellent comments.
***Writing up a little introduction now, will add it in F/C
To counter the adverse effects of the financial crisis, states used both
fiscal and monetary policy. On the fiscal side, governments engaged in
unprecedented deficit spending to stimulate economic growth and support
employment. On the monetary side, central banks cut interest rates and
provided liquidity to their banking systems in order to keep credit
available and motivate banks to keep financing their economies.
Three years on since the beginning of the financial crisis, however,
states are quickly running out of traditional ammunition to support
their economies, with some having already exhausted both fiscal and
(conventional) monetary policy. Politicians from Athens to Washington to
Tokyo are now feeling the constraints of high public debt levels, with
pressure to curb excessive deficits coming not only from the debt
markets, but also from the electorates, other states [LINK] and
supranational bodies such as the IMF. At the same time, those states'
monetary authorities are feeling the constraints of near-zero-percent
interest rates, either out of fear of creating yet another credit/asset
bubble or frustration that no matter how cheap credit becomes, business
and consumers are simply too scared to borrow - even at 0 percent. Some
central banks, having already run into the zero bound many months ago
(and in Japan's case long before), have been discussing the need for
additional "quantitative easing" (QE)-essentially the electronic
equivalent of printing money-with the U.S. Federal Reserve recently
embarking on an additional $600 billion program.
The big question mark now is how do governments plan to address
lingering economic problems when they've already thrown the kitchen sink
(and quite a few other implements) at them? One concern is that a
failure to act could result in a Japan-like scenario of years of
repeatedly using `extraordinary' fiscal and monetary tools to the point
that they no longer have any effect, reducing policy makers to doing
little more than hoping that recoveries elsewhere will drag their state
along for the ride. Under such fiscally and monetarily constrained
conditions, many states are considering limiting foreign competition by
intentionally devaluing their currencies (or stemming their rise).
What Is Competitive Devaluation?
A competitive devaluation can be just what the doctor ordered when an
economy is having trouble getting back on its feet, and that's exactly
why it is at the forefront of the political-economic dialogue. When a
country devalues its currency relative to its trading partners, three
things happen: the devaluing country's exports become relatively
cheaper, earnings repatriated from abroad become more valuable and
importing from other countries becomes more expensive. Though it's a
highly imperfect process, this tends to support the devaluing country's
economy because the cheaper currency invites external demand from abroad
and motivates domestic demand to remain at home.
Government's can effect a devaluation in a number of ways: historically,
intervening in foreign exchange markets, expanding the money supply or
instituting capital controls have all been used, typically in
conjunction with one another. Like other forms of protectionism (e.g.,
tariffs, quotas) smaller countries have much less freedom in the
implementation of devaluation. Due to their size, smaller economies
usually cannot accommodate a vastly increased monetary base without also
suffering from an explosion of inflation which could threaten the very
existence of their currencies, or via social unrest, their government's
existence. Larger states with more entrenched and diversified systems,
however, can use this tool with more confidence if the conditions are
The problem is that competitive devaluation really only works if you're
the only country doing it. If other countries respond in kind, not only
does everyone gets more money chasing the same amount of goods (classic
inflation) and currency volatility, but no one actually devalues
relative to the others, which is the whole point of the exercise. This
is the proverbial `race to the bottom' where, as a result of deliberate
and perpetual weakening, everyone loses.
The run-up to, and first half of, the Great Depression is often cited as
an example of how attempts to grab a bigger slice through devaluation
resulted in a smaller pie for everyone. Under the strain of increased
competition for declining global demand, countries one-by-one attempted
to boost domestic growth via devaluation. Some of the first countries to
devalue their currencies at the onset of the Great Depression were
small, export-dependent economies like Chile, Peru and New Zealand,
whose exporting industries were reeling from strong national currencies.
As other, larger countries moved to devalue, the widespread over-use of
the tool became detrimental to trade overall and begot yet more
protectionism. The volatile devaluations and trade barriers that ensued
are widely believed to have exacerbated the crushing economic
contractions felt around the world in the 1930s.
Since the 2008-2009 financial crisis affected countries differently, the
need to withdraw fiscal/monetary support should come sooner for some
than it will for others, but this presents a problem: the `first mover's
curse'. No one wants to be the first country to declare a recovery and
tighten their monetarily policies as that would strengthen their
currency and place additional strain on their economy just as a recovery
is gaining strength. Therefore the motivation for staying
`looser-for-longer' and letting other countries tighten policy first is
And this is the situation the world is in as the representatives are
meeting for the G20 summit in Seoul. The recession is for the most part
behind them, but none are feeling particularly confident that it is
dead. Given the incentive to maintain loose policy for longer than is
necessary and the disincentive to unilaterally tighten policy, it seems
that if either the `race to the bottom' or the `race to recover last'
are to be avoided, there must be some sort of coordination on the
currency front, but that coordination is far from assured.
Why does the U.S. set the G20 agenda?
While the G20 meeting in Seoul is ostensibly a forum for representatives
of the world's top economies to all address current economic issues, it
is the United States that actually sets the agenda when it comes to
exchange rates and trade patterns. The U.S. has a lot of stroke in that
department for two reasons: it's the world's largest importer and the
USD is the world's reserve currency.
Though export-led growth can generates surging economic growth and job
creation, its Achilles' heel is that the model's success is entirely
contingent on continued demand from abroad. When it comes to trade
disputes/issues, therefore, the importing country often has the
leverage. As the world's largest import market, the U.S. has tremendous
leverage during trade disputes, particularly over those countries most
reliant on exporting to America. The U.S.'s withholding access to its
markets is a very powerful tactic, one that can be realized with just
the stroke of a pen.
The U.S. also enjoys its unique position as being home to the world's
reserve currency-the U.S. dollar (USD). The USD is the world's reserve
currency for a number of reasons, but perhaps the most important factor
is that the U.S. is a huge economy. So big in fact that with the
exception of the Japanese bubble years it has been at least twice as
large as the world's second-largest trading economy since the end of
WWII (and at that time it was six times the size of its closest
competitor). Right now the U.S. economy remains three times the size of
either Japan or China.
Second, the U.S is geographically isolated. With the exceptions of the
Civil War and the War of 1812, the U.S.'s geographic position has
enabled it to avoid wars on home soil, and that has helped the U.S. to
generate very stable long-term economic growth. After Europe tore itself
apart in two world wars, the U.S. was left holding essentially all the
world's industrial capacity and gold, which meant that it was the only
country that could support a global currency. The Breton Woods framework
cemented the U.S.'s position as the export market of first and last
resort, and as the rest of the world sold goods into America's
ever-deepening markets, U.S. dollars were spread far and wide. With the
USD's overwhelming ubiquity in trade and reserve holdings firmly
established, and with the end of the international gold-exchange
standard in 1971, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury therefore
has capability to easily adjust the value of the currency, and with it
directly impact the economic health of any state that has any dependence
upon trade.
Though many states protest American unilateral action, they must use the
USD if they want to trade with the U.S., and often even with each other.
However distasteful they may find it, even those states realize that
they'd be better off relying on a devalued USD that has global reach
than attempting to transition to another country's currency. Indeed, the
USD is, as the saying goes, the worst currency, except for all the rest.
[Insert Chart: Share of Exports to U.S.]
At the G20 the US is currently pushing for a global currency management
framework that will curb excessive trade imbalances. U.S. Treasury
Secretary Geithner has proposed specifically that this could be
accomplished by instituting controls over the deficit/surplus in a
country's current account (most often which reflects the country's trade
balance). Put simply, Washington wants importers to export more and
exporters to import more, which should lead to a narrowing of trade
imbalances. The U.S. would like to see these reforms carried out in a
non-protectionist manner, employing coordinated exchange rate
adjustments and structural reforms as necessary.
For the export-based economies, however, that's easier said than done.
Domestic demand in the world's second-, third- and fourth-largest
economies (China, Japan and Germany) is anemic for good reason. China
and Japan capture their citizens' savings to fuel a subsidized lending
system that props up companies with cheap loans so that they can employ
as many people as possible. This is how the Asian states guarantee
social stability. Call upon those same citizens to spend more, and they
are saving less, leaving less capital available for those subsidized
loans. When Asian firms suddenly cannot get the capital they need to
operate, unemployment rises and all its associated negative social
outcomes come to the fore. For its part, Germany is a highly
technocratic economy where investment, especially internal investment,
is critical to maintaining a technological edge. Changes in internal
consumption patterns would divert capital to less-productive pursuits,
undermining the critical role investment plays in the German economy. As
in East Asia, Germany also has its own concerns about social order.
Increasing internal demand would increase inflationary pressures, but by
focusing its industry on exports, Germany can retain high employment
without having to deal with them to the same extent. Since all three
countries use internal capital for investment, rather than consumption,
all three are dependent upon external (largely American) consumption to
power their economies. As such, none of the three is particularly
enthused by the Fed's recent actions or Washington's plans, which all
three have expressed vociferously.
Be that as it may, as far as the U.S. is concerned, there are
essentially two ways this can play out: a unilaterally and
Unilateral Solution:
In terms of negotiating at the G20, there's no question that if push
came to shove, the U.S. has a powerful ability to (1) effect the desired
changes by unilaterally erecting trade barriers, and (2) by devaluing
the USD. While neither case is desirable, the fact remains that if the
U.S. engaged in either or both, the distribution of pain would be
asymmetric and it would be felt most acutely in the export-based
economies, not in the United States. In other words, while it might hurt
the U.S. economy, it would probably devastate the Chinas and Japans. Put
simply, in a full out currency war, the United States enjoys the ability
to command its import demand and the global currency, while its
relatively closed economy would insulate it from the international
economic disaster that would accompany a full on currency war -
international trade accounts for only about 30 percent of the U.S.'s
GDP, compared to 35 in Japan, 45 in China and 88 percent in Germany.
But there's no reason to take that route immediately-it makes much more
sense simply to threaten, in an increasingly overt manner, in order to
precipitate a multilateral-looking solution. There is a historical
precedent for this type of resolution-the Plaza Accords of 1985.
In 1985, the U.S. was dealing with trade issues that aren't entirely
unlike those being dealt with today. In march of that year, the USD was
38 percent higher than its 1980 value on a trade-weighted basis and its
trade deficits, at 2 to 3% of GDP (nearly half of which was accounted
for by Japan alone), were the largest since WWII. The U.S.'s industrial
sector was suffering from the strong USD and the Reagan administration
therefore wanted West Germany and Japan to allow their currencies to
appreciate against the dollar.
Both Japan and West Germany did not want to appreciate their currencies
against the dollar because it would make their exports more expensive
for importers in the U.S. Both economies were (and still are) structural
exporters who didn't want to undergo the economic/political reforms that
would accompany such a change. Yet Japan and West Germany both backed
down and eventually capitulated-the U.S.'s threat of targeted economic
sanctions/tariffs against just those countries was simply too great, and
the Plaza "Accords" on currency readjustments were signed and
successfully implemented, their being somewhat ineffectual in the
long-run notwithstanding.
[Text Box: What was agreed to at the Plaza Accords].
And while the power balances of the modern economic landscape are
somewhat different today than they were 25 years ago, the United States
firmly holds the system's center. Should the United States wish to, the
only choice that the rest of the world has is between a unilateral
American solution or a `multilateral' solution in which the Americans
offer to restrain themselves. The first would have effects ranging from
painful to catastrophic, and the second would come with a price the
Americans set.
[Text box: 1985 vs. Now]
Multilateral Solution:
But just because the United States has the means, motive and opportunity
doesn't mean that a Plaza II is the predetermined result of the Nov. 11
G20 summit-much depends on how the China issue plays out.
China is currently the world's largest exporter, the biggest threat for
competing exporters and arguably the most flagrant manipulator of its
currency, which it essentially pegs to the USD to secure maximum
stability to the US-China trade relationship, even if this leaves the
yuan undervalued by anywhere from 20 to 40 percent. If China weren't on
board with a multilateral solution, any discussion of currency
coordination would likely unravel. If China does not participate, then
few states have reason to appreciate their currency knowing that China's
under-valued currency (not to mention the additional advantages of
abundant labor and subsidized input costs) will undercut them.
However, if China did agree to some sort of U.S.-backed effort, other
states would recognize a multilateral solution was gaining traction and
that it's better to be on the wagon than left behind. Additionally, a
rising yuan would allow smaller states to perhaps grab some market share
from China, quite a reversal after fifteen years of the opposite. In
particular, it would spare the US the problem of having to face down
China in a confrontation over its currency that would likely result in
retaliatory actions that could quickly escalate or get out of hand. In a
way, China's participation is both a necessary and sufficient condition
for a multilateral solution.
But China's system would probably break under something like a Plaza II.
Luckily (for China, and perhaps the world economy) it has a strong chit
to play. The U.S. feels that it needs Chinese assistance in places like
North Korea and Iran, and so long as Beijing provides that assistance
and takes some small steps on the currency issue, the U.S. appears
willing to grant China a pass (not to mention that military engagements
in Afghanistan and Iraq means that the U.S. can't really play the
American military action card). In fact, the U.S. may even point to
China as a model reformer so long as it endorses the `multi-lateral'
The details are - at best - extremely sketchy, but here's what it seems
like the Americans and Chinese are edging towards.
First, some sort of public agreement about the Yuan's moving steadily,
if slowly, higher against the USD. This is probably the least that the
U.S. would settle for, and the most that the Chinese would consider
yielding, but without it there is simply no deal to be had. Rather than
a deep, multi-year revaluation along the lines of Plaza, this agreement
would be more a tentative, to hold the line in bilateral relations so
that the two can collaborate in other fields.
Second, with this basic Sino-American agreement in place, Beijing and
Washington should be able to nudge fairly easily other trading states
into a degree of currency stabilization using the USD as the reference
point. Of these states the ones that are likely to resist most
vociferously are those that are both very dependent upon exports, yet
unable to command a regional trade system. Likely the biggest objectors
will be South Korea and Brazil. South Korea because historically they
have treated currency intervention as a normal tool of monetary policy
for decades without truly being called to the carpet (making its hosting
the summit somewhat ironic). Brazil because two-thirds of their exports
are dollar-denominated, and without some degree of massive intervention
the rising real could well abort decades of focused industrial
expansion. Both are states that are trying to stay in control of their
systems, and a Sino-American deal - even one that is only temporary -
may work against their interests.

Explaining RAGE has been difficult for Tim Willits. After the first announcement back in 2007, the game was immediately thought to be a racer. It isn't. With the introduction of loot and crafting, it suddenly seemed like an RPG. It isn't.
Earlier this year we were shown five levels from throughout the game, all of which were so different, that showed what the game is capable of, but not how it feels. Bethesda's solution was to sit us down in a room and let us play the first 90 minutes of the game.
1. There's more shooting than you might think
Yeah, that's not saying much. It's like your mum saying that dinner might contain more food than you originally thought. But in the first hour, I was struck by how much of the missions involved driving up to a set of bollards, which are the game's way of saying "get out, it's on-foot shooty time".
It's good shooting, though. Smooth as hell thanks to iD's demands of a full frame rate of 60fps. It's useful when the gang members are so damn moveable. Ghosts use the landscape to propel themselves towards you, moving up-down-left-right fast enough to make you waste a couple of bullets and feel a surge of panic. The Wanted, meanwhile, are a gang of easy-to-kill versions of Chev Chelios, who'll run at you suicidally and run away if you're winning. The opening hour has more shooting personality than many other games manage over their full length.
2. The loot system is deceptively simple
Your first crafting recipe is an antiseptic bandage, which is only of use if you need healing before the regenerating health kicks in. I never felt obliged to use one in the first hour, and I'm a brown dog's egg at shooters. The second recipe is a lock grinder, and the ingredients are drip-fed to you as you need them. It's disappointingly hand-to-mouth.
However, the text on the loading screens tells you to explore. And while there aren't too many opportunities to plough your own furrow in the opening hour, I dutifully kept an eye open for hidden areas. At one point, I found a small cave that, in any other shooter, would have been an ammo stash.
This one had a toilet bucket surrounded by flies and a sulky looking plant. While there was nothing I could do here, apart from admire how the level designers had taken the gang members' basic needs into account, Tim Willits told me later that this flower blossoms at night, providing one of the more uncommon ingredients in the game.
This is reassuring - the world is beautiful, and it's good that iD are giving us reasons to explore.
3. The acting is better than the script
When you hatch from the Ark pod, your companions all seriously dead, you're rescued from the instant gang attack by Hagar. The script isn't bad, at least judging by the standard we're used to in games. But the speed at which Hagar starts to treat you like a son and a saviour is more a product of plot expediency than believable character-building. Maybe I'd been spoiled by watching three seasons of Breaking Bad over the weekend, but I questioned Dan Hagar's back-story and motivation.
On the upside and optimistic, this was a short-term rapid-fire relationship, in which Hagar supplied me with a range of weapons, an ATV and a buggy. Once you're out in the mission hubs of Wellspring and Subway City, the game'll obviously have a chance to calm down. And the acting is good enough to make even Hagar's uncomfortable confidence in your heroic goodness seem convincing.

Helping others can feel like a burden. I'm sure we've all had the experience of being asked to do a household chore and just feeling grumpy at being pulled away from doing something more fun. But the Salwen family was led by Hannah into giving a tremendous amount in a way that made them feel like their life was more joyful, and even more rich, than if they had kept their big house or their money.

If you keep hearing about research data management but don't really know what it's all about, this session is for you, whether you are a faculty member competing for NSF grants, a researcher managing data for a lab, a graduate student wanting to develop an in-demand skill, or a librarian wanting to help researchers and students with data. The goal of data management is to ensure that data is secure, discoverable and preserved for future use, by you and other researchers. This session will cover the benefits of managing data; ways to manage data on a day-to-day basis (e.g., file naming, storage, versioning); key points for preserving data; options for sharing data; and data's unique issues with citations, intellectual property and privacy.

What to Bring For Addis Ababa
- Passport, plane tickets
- Camera
- Pullover or sweater for the evening (it gets cool at night)
- Clothes that are respectful of the fact that this is a highly religious country (both Christian and Muslim); it is not culturally acceptable to wear very skimpy clothes here, especially not in rural areas or when visiting churches. (It is fine to wear shorts and t-shirts while running.)
- Hat or headscarf (to keep the sun off, and needed in churches)
- Sandals
- Sunglasses
- Sun tan lotion
- Money: bring euros or dollars (there are a couple of ATMs in Addis that you can use to get Ethiopian birr)
- Oral rehydration salts (eg Dioralyte) and anti-diarrhea tablets (eg Imodium)
- Charger for your mobile phone
- Trail shoes (if you are a runner)
If you are staying with us, you do NOT need to bring towels, sheets, electrical adapters. We can also lend you a guide book.
If you are travelling out of Addis
If you are travelling out of Addis, then in addition to the above you should bring:
- Malaria tablets (if you are travelling below 2,000 metres, as you probably will)
- Mosquito bednet
- Insect repellent
- A sleeping sack (to avoid bedbugs in cheap hotels) (example)
- Multi sized bath & sink plug
- Travel alarm clock
- Money Belt
- A small torch or head torch
- Rucksack or day pack
- Hiking boots if you are going hiking
6 Responses to What to bring
to add to the packing list:
* torch – a wind up torch is useful so you don't have to worry about batteries – and useful in Addis as well as out
* tissues and wet wipes – you can also buy anti-bacterial gels/sprays for washing your hands without water which is sometimes useful as there isn't always water available for washing your hands
* I found a light long scarf useful for covering up arms and head in churches, or for a light cover earlier in the morning when it is still cool
* sandals are fine for walking around but you'll be walking on unmade up roads and in a lot of dirt and dust so make sure they are sturdy and give you support/protection
* I changed sterling to Birr at the airport with no problem -
Speaking of camping gear. Can u get the screw on butane canisters for a typical camp stove over there? I ask because these canisters are impossible to travel with.
A sleeping sack (to avoid bedbugs in cheap hotels) (example)
This advice will not work. Bedbugs reside in the cracks of walls and in the joints of furniture and beds etc. and will start moving towards a warm body sitting on or sleeping in a bed and start biting around the exposed cheeks, neck, arms etc. without needing to go further into the sheets/sleeping bag.
A well tucked in mosquito net can help to keep them out but that depends how large the fabric holes are.
I don't know if Ethiopian bed bugs differ from those in India but there on entering a room I'd sit on the bed leaning on it with my bare hand and wait about 3-5 mins. to see if any bed bugs came crawling toward it. Several would often do so and by killing those would reduce if not eliminate a night attack.
Take some mosquito repellantfrom home. Deep Woods Off is good. Anything similar is fine. The reason is that it is next to impossible to find mosquito repellant in Addis or nearby towns and you will need it at lower elevations. Also, I suggest carrying a small first-aid kit with antibacterials and antibiotic creams. Pharmacies and medical facilties are not available in small tons and villages. Where they are available you might find them closed whne you really need them. Lalibella is a perfect example. Despite the fact thousands of tourists go there you cannot access even basic medical supplies like polysporin or neosporin etcetera. There is nothing. So go prepared.

Most of the midseason series have drawn to a close for the season, leaving us to anticipate whatever offerings TV has in store for us this summer. And in the distance is the promise of a fresh season, full of new and returning series. NBC has a couple of dramas on the horizon, including Do No Harm and the J.J. Abrams/Eric Kripke created Revolution. We came across some art for the shows, which showcase some of the new faces we'll be seeing at the Peacock next season.
Breakout Kings will not be returning for a third season of cons catching cons. Apparently executive producer and co-creater Olmstead has moved on to greener pastures, or at least what the producer hopes will be greener pastures. Olmstead has landed a new gig as showrunner on Dick Wolfs upcoming production Chicago Fire.
With Rescue Me off the air, there's a vacancy for fireman-related drama on television. Could Chicago Fire fill that void? We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, we have a couple of clips from the pilot episode, one of which focuses on the drama inside the fire department and another that gives us a look at a fire and an intense situation.
After a flood of renewals and cancellations, we now have our first look at what the fall will look like for network TV, at least as far as NBC is concerned. Added to the line-up are new dramas Revolution and Chicago Fire, along with comedies Go On and The New Normal. There's also a pretty major scheduling change for Community that doesn't look good.
Dick Wolf should be having a pretty damn good day, because of SVUs triumphant return and because NBC is also giving Wolf Films Chicago Fire pilot a go. If you havent been privy to information on Chicago Fire yet, the ensemble drama will feature firefighters and paramedics living and working in the heart of Chicago.
Jesse Spencer isnt sitting around mourning the cancellation of House. Hes already picked up a pilot gig, this time as another sort of life saver. Spencer has been cast in the lead role as a firefighter on the NBC project Chicago Fire. From a doctor to a firefighter, this guy sure likes his roles as dramatic as possible.
Monica Raymund wont be spending any time on the unemployment line it seems. Just days after her recurring character left The Good Wife for good, she has signed on for a co-starring role in a new drama pilot for NBC. Shell be one of the leads in Chicago Fire, starring along side The Vampire Diaries alum Taylor Kinney.
NBC has cast Taylor Kinney as one of the leads in Chicago Fire, an ensemble drama that will give a detailed picture of the men and women comprising the Chicago Fire Department. Kinney is most known for a stint on The CWs Vampire Diaries as a troublemaker werewolf, and later, a ghost. Kinneys role will be far less supernatural this time around.
NBC execs have gotten right to work after getting back from their corporate retreat in Florida, picking up two drama series to pilot today. The network has given the greenlight to Chicago Fire, a firefighter drama thats had a lot of buzz around it since it was announced back in the summer, and to County, a new medical drama.

One of my favorite peach lipsticks. I'm so sad that UD discontinued all their lipsticks, because they had some great ones. As the previous reviewer said, Rebel has a super sheer base with tons of peach, pink and orange sparkles. Very pretty for spring.
A copper/peach color, to me it seems as though the lipstick has a clear base and the color comes from the billions of ultra-tiny shimmers. The texture is smooth and creamy. I wouldn't buy it again because it was a bit too bright for me, but it'd probably be great for those with a darker skintone than my PPP/LLL coloring.

Mimi Faust is somewhere cackling uncontrollably this afternoon. 'Love & Hip Hop: Bowen Homes' star Stevie J got his ass arrested for owing a boat load of child support.
Here's what landed Stevie J behind bars. He and his live-in GF had a kid in '97 and '98. In '99 Stevie was ordered to pay around $6,600 a month in child support, which eventually was raised to $8500K. According to the criminal complaint, Stevie J stopped paying in 2001 — he's never paid a cent since then. So now the tab is a whopping $1,107,412. Cops nabbed Stevie J in Georgia. He'll probably bail out soon but then has to face criminal charges in NYC. | TMZ

I am installing new cabinets in our 18 year old builder grade kitchen. We have Merrilat kitchen cabinets now. The KD is recommending Diamond. In researching this product, I am shocked at the short drawer height. My cheap cabinets have more height for the standard drawer to hold utensils. The "deep" drawers have in internal height of 5 5/8". It looks like I won't be able fit any stock pots or even a stack of pots in the deep drawers. I now use roll out trays that give a clearance of 10". I have read several posts from GW that love their drawers. They seem inefficient to me. Please chime in. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Which size drawer base are you looking at? The three stack drawer bases have deeper drawers than 4 stack. My 3 stack has a deep drawer of 8 inches. |

Thank you Angela for sending the link to the thread. I asked the KD for the internal heights of the drawers and she said the manufacturers like to keep that info hidden. They have call and ask for dimension of specific cabinets. I still have a lot of work ahead of me to make sure I have the right cabinets to hold all of my pots. I noticed you only have drawers. It looks like pull out trays are more efficient because you can nest pots decreasing the square footage needed - important in a small kitchen. |
I'm trying to work this out now. I have many things (appliances, tall pots with their lids on) that need 15" clearance. So I'm thinking I can have two 3 drawer stacks on either side of my rangetop with 15", 9.5", and 4" deep drawers (clearance height, not drawer face or side height). One stack in the island with a 2 drawer stack 15" and 13.5" (pans and lids can fit on their sides in the 13.5"). Very interested in hearing from others! |
- Posted by angela12345 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 12, 13 at 18:42
I think you will find an overwhelming vote for drawers over ROTS (roll out try shelves) around Gardenweb. Do some searches to read people's opinions on drawers vs doors. You can certainly nest pots in a drawer as well. Assuming your drawers are deep enough. : ) |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.google.com/search?q=rots+drawers+site%3Agardenweb.com
I know I'm a little late to the party, but this >> I asked the KD for the internal heights of the drawers and she said the manufacturers like to keep that info hidden. is nonsense. I don't know whether the BS is coming from the manufacturer or the KD, but I wouldn't be happy with this answer. I'm buying Ultracraft and the KD who is selling them to me had absolutely no difficulty answering the question. It's a pretty basic question for anyone who is carefully planning their kitchen. For that matter, you don't have to bring a GW level of attention to detail to want to double check that a drawer will hold, eg, your big stockpot. Also, for a given configuration (framed or frameless, location of glides) I'll bet there's a standard formula for figuring the usable internal height of a drawer. If it's not too late, I'd definitely push back on this. |
- Posted by daratwist (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 17:39
Yes, you are right that the KD can always give the client the information. I should have said that the interior dims aren't in a document on the web. If you know of a manufacturer that does list the interior dims for all to see, let us know! |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is BamBam!
Facts about BamBam
- Breed: Standardbred Mix
- Color: Chestnut/Sorrel
- Age: Young
- Size: Large
- Sex: Male
BamBam's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
BamBam is a yearling, and is learning quickly. He stands tied, will load in the trailer and stands well for the farrier. He is very intelligent and willing and will make a remarkable partner for the right person. He will be in the neighborhood of 16 hh when fully grown. We have a sibling and his father on the property as well so you can see what he will look like when grown.
Other Pets at DreamCatchers Equine Rescue Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
BamBam, a Pueblo Standardbred was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Standardbred for sale in Pueblo, or seeking a Standardbred from a breeder in Pueblo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pueblo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pueblo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Standardbred breeders who help with Standardbred rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pueblo paves the way for another one to be saved.

Annual General Meeting 2013
Living Streets President Terence Bendixson welcomed Living Streets members to the Annual General Meeting for 2013 held on Thursday, 14 March at Toynbee Hall Lecture Theatre in London.
Living Streets hosted Professor Mike Kelly (pictured above), Director of the Public Health Excellence Centre at NICE, who gave an excellent and inspiring talk on the recent NICE guidance on walking and cycling, exploring the opportunities and challenges this presents.
Download the presentation 'How to use the evidence base to effect change: walking and cycling and NICE'
Living Streets Chief Executive, Tony Armstrong, also presented the new organisational strategy and there was lively discussion throughout the evening.
Farewell Mike... and welcome, Archie!
This year the board of trustees said a big thank you and goodbye to long-standing Chair of Trustees, Michael Loveday who stood down after six years. During that time the organisation has grown and developed significantly and Mike has overseen and supported that development and led the Trustees through a very exciting time.
Yet as we bid Mike farwell, we are delighted to announce the election at the AGM of Archie Robertson OBE as the new Chair of Trustees.
Archie is an experienced strategic leader who has worked across the transport and infrastructure sectors. Born and raised on Skye, Archie is familiar with the challenges of accessibility in remote places, and his impressive CV is extremely relevant to our work and equalled only by his passion for the Living Streets agenda.
The Vice Chair of Trustees Susan Parham moved the 2012 Annual Report and Treasurer Gavin Stoddart moved the adoption of the 2012 Annual Accounts and the appointment of auditors.

William John Feight Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Missoula on February 17, 2009, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch, WILLIAM JOHN FEIGHT, a 45-year-old resident of Bozeman, pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute 500 or more grams of a mixture or substance containing a detectible amount of methamphetamine. Sentencing is set for May 21, 2009. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
In 2004, FEIGHT, who has a prior conviction from 1996 for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, began buying "eight balls" of methamphetamine from an individual, hereafter referred to as "John Doe," generally for personal use. "John Doe" was eventually arrested and his Mexican sources of supply approached FEIGHT about selling the methamphetamine that they were bringing into the Bozeman area. FEIGHT agreed and began receiving one ounce of meth from another individual, hereafter referred to as "Tom Doe," every one to three days from the summer of 2007 until September of 2008. FEIGHT normally received the methamphetamine from "Tom Doe" at Lindley Park in Bozeman. During an interview with law enforcement, FEIGHT estimated that he met "Tom Doe" at the park 20 to 50 times to obtain ounce quantities of methamphetamine.
Various individuals who purchased methamphetamine from FEIGHT were interviewed by law enforcement. One individual said he received at least one pound of meth from FEIGHT between April and October 2007. "John Doe" told officers that FEIGHT told him that he (FEIGHT) could obtain as much as five pounds of meth from his Mexican sources at one time, but "John Doe" suspected the actual amount to be substantially less than that. Another individual estimated that he received between two and one-half and three pounds of methamphetamine from FEIGHT from approximately the summer of 2007 until March 2008.
On November 28, 2007, FEIGHT and another individual were stopped by the Montana Highway Patrol and FEIGHT'S vehicle was impounded. Before law enforcement officers could obtain and execute a search warrant on that vehicle, FEIGHT and his passenger broke into the impound lot and the vehicle. Witnesses and FEIGHT later said that a quantity of methamphetamine was removed from FEIGHT'S vehicle during the break-in.
On December 21, 2007, FEIGHT'S vehicle was again impounded following a traffic stop. Law enforcement officers searched the vehicle and seized approximately 40 grams of methamphetamine (18.6 grams of actual meth).

On this day in 1865, Warren Gamaliel Harding, the future 29th American president, is born in Corsica, Ohio.
In 1891, Harding married a spunky divorcee named Florence Mabel Kling De Wolfe. Florence was influential throughout Harding's political career and it was at her urging that Harding, who was working as an editor of the Marion Star newspaper, entered politics. In fact, she was once quoted as saying, "I know what's best for the President. I put him in the White house. He does well when he listens to me and poorly when he does not." With this staunch behind-the-scenes support, Harding was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1915. Though this first political success was overshadowed by his 35-year-old son's death from alcoholism and tuberculosis that same year, Harding's rapid rise to political prominence continued, culminating in his election to the presidency in 1920.
As president, Harding was a strong supporter of new technologies. In 1922, he became the first president to have his voice transmitted by radio when he addressed a crowd at the dedication of a memorial site for Francis Scott Key, the composer of the "Star Spangled Banner." The broadcast heralded a revolutionary shift in how presidents addressed the American public. Early in 1923, he installed the first radio in the White House and that June, he recorded a speech on an early "phonograph."
Harding's presidency is perhaps best remembered, however, for scandal. In the Teapot Dome Scandal of 1922-23, his secretary of state, Albert Fall, was accused of leasing oil-rich government-owned land at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, to business interests in return for financial "gifts" amounting to almost $500,000. Fall was later found guilty of bribery and sentenced to one year in prison, earning the unfortunate distinction of becoming the first cabinet member to go to prison for misconduct while in office. Despite battling charges of corruption within his administration, Harding managed to pursue legislation for social change. He contributed to the advancement of civil rights for African Americans and women. As a senator and progressive Republican candidate for the presidency, Harding tried to pass an anti-lynching law in 1920, which was defeated, and, unlike his predecessors, vigorously supported suffrage for women.
Still, the Teapot Dome Scandal took its toll on Harding's administration and his physical health. On August 2, 1923, he died suddenly from a heart attack while visiting San Francisco during a tour of the country. Vice President Calvin Coolidge was awakened early the next morning with the news that he had inherited the presidency.

Does Florida Charge Sales Tax On Labor?
is there sales tax on kitchen cabinets in Florida?
Do I have to pay sales tax on new kitchen cabinets if the company that I am buying them from is also installing them? I live in Florida, and I am under the impression that if the cabinets become a permanent part of the house, there is no sales tax. However, the remodeler that I am using says that he has to charge sales tax. Am I getting rooked?
Check with your state department of revenue. The cabinets will be taxable. The labor to install them may or may not be. Hope this helps.
Should I charge sales tax in this situation?
I'm building a website, writing about 300 descriptions and updating an online catalog for a company in Florida. My corporation is also in Florida. Should I charge Sales Tax for these services?
That's not a taxable service for sales taxes in Florida.
New wedding photography business in California?
New wedding photography business in California. If I charge labor only for wedding shoots and give pictures and cd disks away no charge do i need to worry about paying California for sales tax? I was planning on paying sales tax when I purchased the items and giving them away as no charge/free so California would still get the sales tax.
Labor for wedding shoots is subject to sales tax in California if the customer receives any tangible personal property (CDs, photos). It does not matter whether you are making a separate charge for the photos or not.
When the Board of Equalizaton audits you, they will make you pay tax on the entire charge to your customers with no exemptions for labor.
I have a question about Florida sales tax laws?
In the state of Florida, specifically, the Northwest, I'm trying to find out about Florida sales tax laws. Here's the scenario: A hobbyist sells her wares at the local flea market/art show. Is she supposed to charge sales tax? And if so, how does she pay those taxes to the govt? Now, if she makes less than say $1000 per year gross, is she still supposed to charge and pay those sales taxes and how? I have yet to find any concrete answers on my own, so please help!
Looks like you must charge/collect sales tax...see this page: http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/taxes/sales_tax.html
Does the state of Florida require online stores to charge sales taxes.?
I am starting an on line store, but I am not sure if I am supposed to add Florida sales taxes to my orders. Any information or link would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
If you are a Florida company, Florida requires you to add sales tax to your customers and are in Florida. If you send merchandise to a Florida address, they expect the sales tax.
Other states, usually the state requires the recipient to declare the items they bought online, and pay their state sales tax. I don't know if many do.
The key is you have a business presence in Florida.

LOS ANGELES - What did Leandro Barbosa learn Sunday when it came to guarding Kobe Bryant? "I learned that you can't touch him," Barbosa said.
With no Raja Bell around to chase Bryant on Sunday, Barbosa learned his lesson the hard way. He committed three fouls in the first half — all on Bryant — and three more in a 1:41 span of the fourth quarter. He got the last two just four seconds apart and fouled out with 9:33 left in the game.
Bryant went to the line 23 times Sunday and made 20 — one shy of the franchise record for a Suns opponent (Atlanta's John Drew made 21 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on April 5, 1977). He went to the line 10 times in the second period alone, when the constant whistles slowed the game to a crawl.
"You touch his hand, it's a foul. You touch his back, it's a foul. If he runs you over, it's a foul," Barbosa said. "Raja is much better on defense than me, I know that, and I don't think some of the fouls called on me would have been called on Raja."
But Bryant's 43 points is right at the 42.3 he's averaged all season against the Suns.
Barbosa missed five of his first seven shots from the field but finished 6-for-13 and scored 16 points. Going 6-for-18 from 3-point range over the past two games likely cost him a chance to lead the league in long-distance percentage.
"I feel tired, I'm not going to lie," he said. "But I'm young and this is good for me because I can learn a lot about what they do and get ready for the playoffs. We'll be ready."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson was disappointed that the Suns didn't field a full lineup Sunday because, since the Lakers' first three games with Phoenix was on the back end of back-to-back games, he felt his team hasn't had time to focus on them as an opponent.
"We feel like we haven't had a legitimate game against them this season to really plot out, plan out and prep out the game,'' he said. "This is one game we've had time to explore. But that's OK; hopefully we'll have chances here in the future."
Brian Grant said he felt good after playing 18 minutes against the Lakers. But his shot — he was 0-for-2 Sunday and 2-for-6 in nine minutes Friday in Oakland — is still in need of rehabbing.
"I have a lot of one-on-one gym time coming up in the evenings over the next week," Grant said "I have to put up 200-300 shots a night and get my stroke back. From 15-17 feet out, if I get a wide-open shot, I have to know it's money. Right now I don't feel that way. Before I went down (to knee surgery in early December), I knew it was going in."
Bryant's 43-point effort was the eighth time the Suns allowed a player to score at least 40 points in a game this season Bryant (51 and 43) and LeBron James of Cleveland (46 and 44) have done it twice each while Carmelo Anthony (43), Ray Allen (42), Gilbert Arenas (41) and Paul Pierce (40 ) did it once each. The Suns are 3-5 in the eight games. . . .
Diaw's four triple-doubles in one season ties him for sixth place in franchise history. Jason Kidd had seven in a season twice (2000-01 and once in the 50-game, strike-shortened season of 1998-99), Charles Barkley had six (1992-93) and Kidd (1997-98) and Alvan Adams (1975-76) had five. Diaw is now tied with Kidd (1999-00) at four. . . .
Diaw shares a birthday with Hall of Famer and Lakers assistant coach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who celebrated his 58th at Staples Center and was offered a huge round of applause when shown on the video screen. Steve Nash didn't get the same treatment. He was booed loudly when he was shown sitting on the bench, and reciprocated with a smile and a wave. . . .
Jackson on the Suns' offense: "We have to find a way to make them play our game. They're a team that plays at such a high rate of possessions that (consultant) Tex (Winter) ran out of paper in the first quarter. It's a higher pace and a higher fatigue rate."

Uppingham Town on top
Rutland club Uppingham Town CC are on an upward curve as they see their sparkling new facilities at their new Castle Hill Ground boost participation across the board on and off the field.
ECB Video took a look around the new pavilion and the pitches on the site outside the east midlands town, and spoke to chairman Charlie Scott and Neil Wedge about how the project and the new facilities had galvanised the club.
"We still pinch ourselves when we come here," said Scott. "We were used to facilities that we were the poor relations of in some way. No to come to this; we have attracted more social and playing members.
"It's fantastic to go out there and play on a lovely wicket, with an outfield purpose-made. The club's in heaven. It's translated into better cricket."
