Outstanding 96%tasha_007j Absolutely wonderful staff! Stellios and his family/staff were the most welcoming and inviting people we have meet in Greece! The hotel is seriously a 50 second walk to the beach, with great bars and cafes all along the beach. Exceptional value for money - 3 of us stayed for 3 nights - we only paid 40 euro each for our whole stay. Plus Stellios picks you up and drops you off to the port which makes life very easy! Highly recommended (I I have never given a place a 5 star recommendation in all categories ever before)... just do it :)

Outstanding 100%mlbeitel George and Stella are just the nicest people. We had a wonderful stay. The place is so clean and we had a fridge in our room and a grocery store very close by and George brought us coffee and juice every morning. George gave us lots of tips and pointed us in the right directions. Fira is an easy walk away and we rented a quad from a gentleman down the street which George recommended and it worked out incredible. Saw the beautiful sunset at IA although if you go, make sure to leave a little time to walk around because it really is beautiful. Oh and the pool area was really nice to. Just the kind of stay we were looking for. We actually travelled Europe for 3 weeks and this was our favorite place to stay and our favorite place to see. We Highly recommend it and would stay there again if we went back

I have three problems. I am Running AutoCAD R14 on Windows Vista. I could not get it to work for a long time but then read how to do it on this forum and it now runs ok - EXCEPT for the following:
The help menu does not work. When I click on "Help" -> "AutoCAD Help Topics" I get an error message which says: "WinHelp() failed." So I don't have my help files. How do I get them back?
Also, I cannot open my own backup files. I get an error message which says: "Cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the file exists." That s also a problem. (I can't rmemeber if this problem started when I switched to Windows Vista or if I had the same problem previously when I was working with Wiindows XP.) How do I fix this?
The third problem probably has nothing to do with the fact that I am using Windows Vista: The AutoCAD command line is now a window floating around (instead of it being properly fitted into the bottom of the screen). I don't know what I did to cuase this and I can't get it to go back. The tool bars, by contrast, I can drag away from their places on the side or top of the screen, turn them into floating windows, and then just put them back on the top or bottom of the screen and they fit right into their places. I can't do the same with the command line box. (Of course, since I have no help file I can't look up how to do this there.)
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I know this problem with the help files. When I 1st got this to work on Vista, I noticed this about a week later.
I have researched and troubleshooted this for a long time. I finally just gave up on it, and I dont gave up very often when it comes to computer crap. What I did find out, the "help files" are a system of their own so to speak. They were made to work with Xp.
Files needs moved around and/or add just like R14 to get it to work in Vista. If you find out how this is done, you would be my "Hero".
As per your backup files....Since they are backup files, I will assume you made these file when you was running Xp. If they wont open, most likely they are from a 32bit OS, Vista, bring 64 bit ( I will assume again you installed Vista 64 bit because your in this forum) 64 and 32 are not compatible. Here is a work around. Autodesk does have some viewers to d/load for free.
Get the one you want, view your files with autocad (vista) open. http://usa.autodesk.com/support/viewers/
Your command line not locking into place? Thats a new one on me. Maybe the Mod. can jump on this one for ya.
Good luck
Wow Ed you rock! Save a lot of time...Running ok on Vista 64 just copying my old xp AutocadR14 dir to ProgramFiles and replacing your HS32W32.dll File.....Thanks to all people contributing with this! You save my live! Happy new 2013..
Hi vfrflyboy,
Thank you for your response. At this point I have finally succeeded in getting Windows XP (32 bit) installed on my computer and so I said goodby to Windows Vista and the help files are back. I still cannot open the backup filles, however. If I go into Windows Explorer and click on a backup file a dialgue box comes up which says that Windows cannot open the file because it doesn't know which program created it and I am asked to have Windows look on the web for the appropriate program or to select the program from a list. When I try to open the backup files from inside AutoCAD I cannot see the backup files. Since I still have the problem with the backup files in Windows XP 32 bit (includiing with new backup files created in Windows XP 32 bit) I don't think the 32 bit vs 64 bit thing is the cause of the problem.
Regarding the command line not locking into place, since I reinstalled AutoCAD 14 that is back to normal. I just don't move the command line and it is fine.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Best regards,
Know you came here looking for detail on r14 and Vista. Can confirm the fixes and downloads listed in the entrety of the thread also work for Windows 8.
Thanks to Ed.S, ninjawaynes and bridges1111.
If you follow these guys instructions EXACTLY it'll work as described.

As everyone here knows, one of the arguments made for religious belief is that it is comforting in the face of life's difficulties. It turns out that science may be comforting as well to people under duress.
This suggests that the comfort is the result of the belief that things are under control rather than any specific content of the belief.
I just saw a crime show about a man who shot his family members in the back of the head, one at a time, sneaking up on them.
Then he wrote notes to the school saying he was taking his children away for a few weeks, and he left for another city, changed his identity and wasn't caught for 17 years.
His rationale was that he was bankrupt, he felt poverty would be corrupting to his family; but they would go to heaven if he shot them right away.
He figured God would forgive him in time, and he could rejoin his family in a better place.
My wife's family lived in Westfield, NJ at the time of the murders so the case is very familiar. Westfield is an affluent community of big houses and well maintained lawns and the killings took place in 1971 before mass murders had become commonplace. It was a very shocking crime at the time and one that became more shocking when List was captured. It's not clear that List's announced motives were his real ones.
It's not clear that List's announced motives were his real ones.
I'm sure they weren't. He was apparently extremely repressed and had built up tremendous anger.
But Christian theology has been used before to whitewash horrible acts.
So those who survived were not saved by God, but actually just "left behind."
Yes,m but, you actually think about that. Believers don't I don't think any believers have been asked why they were spared and not the others. They are too self-centered.
I couldn't have said it better......
That's why they don't like Atheists. We make them think.
When I was a studying lay minister nobody knew why some people got healed and others did not. It was a big mystery. Put a little logic on it and this all makes sense. God is imaginary.
Not anymore. If you live it is god's will but, if you die the doctor gets sued.
All a con man -- or an enduring believer in superstition -- needs is a good story to cover every possibility:
1) you get better,
2) you get worse, or
3) you stay the same.
Someone could just as well pray to a jug of milk!
You are damned right, it does not work. As a child, I watched my grandmothers pray for relief and strength but nothing changed. I watched my mother and aunts pray for relief and strength, nothing changed. It did not change for me until my tiny little ten year old daughter told her father he didn't have the right to treat me the way he was. I prayed, and did all the things that the Passive Gospel teaches. Nothing changed until I put my kids in the car, with pillows, blankets, a stock pot and our two mother cats with their kittens and got the hell out of there and out of the marriage. I've been an angry bitch ever since. The bitchiness saved my life.

One week after we learned that the NFL's competition committee was planning on proposing some drastic changes, we now have the verdict on what's going to be different about the NFL in 2011. And we'll have a chance to see the changes on the very first play of the year.
That's because kickoffs will now take place at the 35-yard line, which is five yards up field. This is an attempt by the owners to curb violent collisions on returns. The original proposal, which I outlined in a post last week, called for touchbacks to bring the ball out to the 25-yard line, but that won't be the case.
Coaches apparently felt that both changes made together would severely diminish the impact of special teams and return specialists. Now, with touchbacks only bringing the ball to the 20 and with the coverage team limited to just a five-yard head start (changed from 15), return men will still think twice about taking a knee. It also helps slightly that the two-man wedge was not outlawed.
Still, with kickoffs moved up, I have a hard time envisioning Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff ever giving a team a chance to start outside of their own 20. Cundiff had an NFL record 40 touchbacks in 2010.
Meanwhile, all scoring plays will be automatically reviewed. Booth officials will now treat touchdowns, field goals, extra points, two-point conversions and safeties in the same way they treat any play inside the final two minutes of the first half and regulation. In other words, coaches will no longer have to challenge controversial touchdowns.
Does this make the game longer? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I'd rather they get it right, every time.
And don't even think about painting your field pink. The owners also passed a rule stating all playing surfaces have to remain "grass-coloured." I'm wondering what sparked such a rule. Was a team pushing to become the NFL's version of the Boise State Broncos?

The Career Happiness infographic points out some of the jobs that have the highest satisfaction rate as well as what makes employees happy at their jobs.
We spend so much of our lives at work that it's hard not to let our jobs affect us, professionally and personally. While doing what you enjoy may be the reason you're staying at a workplace, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are happy there. The Career Happiness infographic explores some of the biggest motivations and inspirations behind an employee's feelings—contentment or resentment—towards the workplace, with most of these influences being from fellow coworkers, a sense of appreciation from customers as well as management, support and adequate rewards. While 61% of the surveyed agreed that rewards are important, they have also specified that money is not they key to happiness.

Petzl Spirit Carabiner

Just great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Nice to use, they just do what I want.
Daniel Goodman

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought a few of these in bent and straight gates to make some draws for myself and they are definitely my favorite so far. Other carabiners I have tried either don't have the snap action I want or don't open as wide as I need and thus become problematic. The Spirit makes clipping a breeze and is still lightweight enough that I enjoy using these draws. There is something about a good carabiner that when you reach down on your rack and see it in your hand, you get a little more excited, and these carabiners do that every time.

I've bought the straight and bent gate carabiners to piece together my own draws while these were on sale. They're by far my favorite draws to use. Easy to hear them snap from the ground and the gates are very smooth.

For years I have loved using the Petzl Spirit Carabiner, so when Petzl came out with the new model I was very curious, and I needed to try it out. I have been very pleased with it's performance. It has the same great feel as the old Spirit, but it is way lighter. If you liked using the Spirit before, you will love using it now.

i'm building a new home on the ocean in southern california and i'm trying to decide between pella architect series, pozzi, andersen 400 series and marvin (seems to be a great window w/ the best quality, but pricey). has anyone had any experiences positive or negative enough with these brands to let me know? i've done a ton of research, but it's overwhelming...
pozzi's price point is the best and my gut says it's a good choice... and i've read alot on this forum about rough experiences with pella. andersen is vinyl-clad, and a dark color will fade in the sun here... i will have coastal finishes on whatever i get, and the pozzi warranty is tough to beat at 20 years interior/exterior. any help is much appreciated! alex |

Given that you are in CA, aybe you should also consider Anlin. They are a CA oriented product. I have no idea how they compare in price to those you are considering. |
I'm also looking for windows, in Southern Cal, but 15 miles inland. I've got a quote on pella and on T.M. Cobb, and am very frustrated b/c builder is pushing for a decision and I don't know how to choose. Have you heard anything more on Pella, Pozzi or other windows that helped you make your decision? Have you heard of TM Cobb windows? I saw they had been sued in 2002 for defective windows |

Well, I hope your "April showers" will bring you May flowers! I love those square rattan chargers...I've seen them before, too many $$$! (you got a steal!) Your vintage t'cloth is like a "watercolor" painting so I am happy to see all the colors you pulled from it...the green & aqua plates tog look good & the purple soup bowl really looks great on the plates! Love the napkins & esp the bead holders...another steal $$$wise! Glassware - beautiful! Fresh flowers - lovely & cute little S&P bunnies! Ok, your table SHOUTS SPRING! Come on, Spring! We need it here, too...below temps...but some sunshine, so that helps! TFS! Jeanne S. |

Kathleen, beautiful table. I love all the colors together. Sure wish we CTS here, but I guess I will have to make do with thrift stores for now. The flatware is such a pretty shade of green, and the layering is wonderful as usual. It was low 70's here today, supposed to be 78 tomorrow and snow Sunday night/Monday. TFS, |
Kathleen...I agree with Jeanne...your tc looks just like a watercolor painting and very 'Springy'. Love the color combination of your dishes and accessories, and those rattan chargers were an amazing buy. We've been getting a mixture of rain and snow here. So seeing your table brings feelings of hope. I was at CTS yesterday on my way back from NY and bought a set of the flatware in the yellow besides the green. They also had dark blue, but I have a set in a different pattern. There were lots items on clearance...but I didn't have too much time to take advantage - had DH with me = ( jane |

Left a message on your blog--love this tablecloth and the way you pulled all the colors from it with your dishes. You really do find some great bargains--amazing discount on those chargers. You don't need a light box, your pictures of your food already have me drooling, if they were any better I'd have to buy a new laptop! LOL Luvs |

Luvs, your messages on my blog are not showing up. I wonder why? And thanks! Jane, I was in CTS yesterday, they didn't have that flatware! I am jealous. Not so much clearance, but I found enough! I had a 20% off the whole order, so that was fun! Candy, you have other stores there I would love. I think it is God's way of preventing us from going broke. He gives some of us one, and the others another! LOL Jeanne, thanks, you know my motto, anyone can pay full price! Half of the fun is in the thrill of the hunt. Our thrift stores are not what I have seen others post. Nana, I hope your weather improves too. We need a dose of Spring! Thank you all for such kind comments! |

That is so weird that I have such a problem posting on your blog. I just went over there now and did it again, I clicked preview and then had to click post two times but it looks like it took this time. Thanks for letting me know, I'll stick around and make sure it takes next time! Glad your weather is warming up a bit. We went from needing a jacket one day to in the 80's the next! Supposed to be nice today and I'm glad, need to do some outside painting and yard work. Luvs |
Kathleen, another pretty table. Love all the colors of dishes you used on this one. Your chargers were a steal and look great. I'm still in shock over all your great buys you got in your other post. Punk |

Nothing I can add that hasn't been said! That tablecloth is just fantastic and I really love it. Along with those super cute purple,, handled soup/mini casserole dishes. And as usual, you've got me needing a bib. |

Since around November I started tending my stick of a jasmine with stagnant growth. I was seriously devoted into giving as much tending I can give it. Throughout the Winter, I took it outdoors when it was sunny and brought it back inside every night to grow under T5 fluorescents. Now it has finally bloomed. There was like literally no growth up until last month and I had thought it was going to die before that...
This is quite a gorgeous variety of Jasminum sambac. The flowers are, of course, small like most jasmines but the pointed petals are arranged in a very aesthetically pleasing rosette pattern. This jasmine is often labeled as Mali Pikul by Thai sellers, but it also goes by the name Mali Tod according to some Thai websites I looked up. Anyways, the word Pikul is the Thai approximization for Bakul, or Mimusops elgengi. I'm sure some of our fellow forum members who grew up in India may be familiar with this flower. The flowers of Mimusops elgengi is said to still retain their fragrance even after they have dried up. Here's the first day flower. |

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us. How does the scent compare to other sambacs or is it too early to tell? I just got a small Mysore Mulli and I'm eager to compare its scent to Belle and Grand Duke when they all bloom this summer. :) -Robert |
that's so beautiful. I really like the petal structure and its perfect opening. Did you mailorder from Thai source? |
Musaboru did you get that from dhan? Interestingly I think my Mali Pikul from Thailand maybe different from yours. On some days mine smells like a mock orange (philadelphus). How does yours smell like? |
wow... it looks so nice. Mine didn't start blooming. I had blooms last year, but i didn't get chance to take pictures. Last month, I have kept my plants outside. Now temparatures came down. I kept all my plants inside. I am not able to take much care about my plants. musaboru... thanks for posting the photos. Its very nice. |
If you say yours smell like honeysuckle (sometimes) then maybe my pikul is the same as yours. The blooms on mine don't look as nice or perfect as those pictured on the internet, though. I'll wait until it blooms again to confirm this. |
very pretty! Thanks for sharing pictures. I notice the leaves look like Jasmine Mysore mulli..paired and perpendicular. Is the smell stronger than MM? mrao77 |
I don't have Mysore Mulli, but if I recall correctly, Belle of India had slightly stronger scent. Too bad Belle of India's flowers only last a day before it fades. |

Mango Chicken with Brown Rice
2 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons salsa
1 cup brown rice
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 mango, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
3 medium on-the-vine tomatoes, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
juice from 1/2 lime
In medium-sized saucepan, bring water and salsa to a boil. Add rice and
simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes or until rice is done. Toast
sesame seeds in medium non-stick skillet over low heat (about 3 minutes)
until golden brown. Sprinkle onto a plate to cool. Pour olive oil into
pan, swirl and add chicken tenderloins. Sprinkle garlic, ginger and black
pepper over chicken and increase heat to medium. Cook for about 4 minutes
and turn all pieces over, while stirring garlic around to avoid burning.
Add diced mango to pan, evenly spooning it around and over the chicken
pieces. Saute mango for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
tomatoes and squeeze lime juice over top. Simmer for about 5 minutes,
until tomatoes are hot and mango is juicy. Serve over rice.

Last year we announced our intention to make a series of printed space mats. These would be similar to our D&D mats, made of durable vinyl that could marked using wet erase markers. We wanted to produce something that was suitable for any sort of space gaming, rather than any one system in particular - mainly because like most gamers we have so many different rule sets we like to play!)
Right and below - Space mats in action
Since then we have received our first production samples and some lucky people have even managed to get their hands on some thanks to an earlier than expected shipment to the US.
One of the team even snuck some of them out of the office over one weekend to an X-Wing Kessel Run Event.
Left and below - the Auckland (New Zealand) Kessel Run Event
Coming up next is a set of Asteroids, after all when you have a nice space mat and a nicely painted fleet of ships, you need to fly past something a little more interesting than a cardboard counter!
Right and below - the Asteroids find themselves in the middle of a fight between good verses bad (depending on which side you are rooting for!)
The first designs of the Space Mats will officially start shipping later this month, with different designs to follow over the course of the year, whilst the Asteroids will be on sale soon after.
BM001 - Space Station Game Mat...
BM002 - Space Game Mat...
We will be looking to continue and expand the range over time with a variety of scenic items to place on the Mats, as well as varying sizes of Mats.

We eat a ton of rice, especially since my husband has celiac disease. I am wedded to my rice cooker. But it's a honking big thing sitting on my counter, and I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a built in rice cooker. Ever heard of that?
(cross posted in Appliances forum) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I haven't and I looked. We have a small new 3cup Zojirusi on the counter. It replaced my 12 year old 10cup zoji. I tried cooking rice in a Gagg steam oven and a gagg inset steamer. The steamer was a mess but the steam oven was OK .. the rice grains were a tad dry and separate. I decided to get another rice cooker but smaller this time. We alsouse t for steelcut oatmeal, porridge, and occasional pilafs. I also have a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker that is shaped like a wide sauce pan and quite like that as well. For rice storage, you can get a custom drawer lined with stainless and with a lid. |
- Posted by justmakeit (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 18:36
I have a 10 cup zoji right now -- I may follow your example and move to a smaller cooker. I don't have a pressure cooker, but I've been thinking of getting one. I love the idea of a rice drawer, too. Thanks for your help, Lalitha! |
I checked into it too. I searched all the japanese sites, but didn't see anything. Thought that maybe zoji or tiger might have something. My mom just got back from japan a month or so ago. I asked if she had heard of such a thing or seen anything like that over there. She said no. Everyone keeps their cookers on the counter. I can't remember ever seeing any home without one there. I was thinking that maybe there is a commercial version that may be built into a stand that you could place somewhere. But, I couldn't find anything like that online. Maybe you could build something where it sits inside of a cabinet and you lift the countertop up like a bin to get inside of it. You'd just need an outlet and some sort of piano hinge or something depending on what counter you get. You'd have to worry about steam inside of a cabinet. Maybe it's not a great idea since the steam and heat would probably ruin a cabinet in time, you'd have to keep it open when you're cooking. I'm sure it would be fine to sit after cooking, but... Well, maybe if it was lined in steel or something. Good luck! Kim |
- Posted by justmakeit (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 19:43
kimiko232 -- you've done much more research than I have, so now I really doubt there is such a thing. I figured a built in, if it existed, would have to be vented somehow. Having seen the steam thrown out by my zoji, it's pretty clear you wouldn't want to operate it inside a cabinet. Thanks for sharing your research! |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 21:17
Great question! I just assume our rice maker and coffee maker will live on the counter. If we had a good storage spot I think I would be lazy and not put it away anyway since we tend to use it a couple of nights a week. We purchased a good size induction pressure model, but have not yet dedicated any time to figuring out how to make anything but rice. Might have to investigate pilaf now! I did think enough about it to decide if we have to go with an OTR Advantium the rice cooker would live under it, since it would be mounted over counter rather than the range (need a real hood). What about a pull out at counter height in one of those types of uppers that sit on the counter? You could pull it out for use, then push it back for storage? |
Being Chinese, I grew up eating a LOT of rice. We always used a rice cooker, UNTIL I learned how to cook fantastic rice in an all-clad tri-ply pot (all types from Walmart or WilliamSonoma) - keeps the steam in, never sticks/burn. Rinse the rice, put in the correct amount of water. Yay! No more big rice cooker on my counter. I even freeze my rice (way better than instant rice - blasphemy!) Now the funny thing is, I can't cook brown rice on the stove top to save my life. BUT I microwave PERFECT brown rice. Amanda |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 22:25
In theory, I love that solution! In practice, I'm too forgetful and at times too lazy to remember to go back to adjust the temp. We are so spoiled with the "rinse, add water, push button, perfect rice" pattern I don't think we could go back. Plus we can set it to have rice just finishing up when we get home from work! DH's latest rice obsession is haiga rice, he gets so excited to cook it. Freezing rice?! Never thought about that. Glad to hear it works well, we often have some left over and it often ends up in the fridge graveyard since I don't always have a chance to use it. Brilliant! |
If you have Miele induction cooktop (other induction may do it also), there's a timer/program that you can program to "cook rice". Program it to come to a boil, then it reduces heat and simmers, and then turns off after set amount of time. So, it'll just be to do it just like a rice cooker w/ a touch of a button! I can't wait for my Miele to be install next month!!! Thanks. |
- Posted by justmakeit (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 23:37
I'm with you, williamsem -- just can't imagine going back to stovetop rice now that I've been spoiled by the rice cooker. I could keep the it in the pantry, but realistically, I know I'm too lazy to put it away, especially because I use it so often. Huango -- such a simple and elegant solution. Wish I could embrace it, but as I said, I'm married to my rice cooker. That's amazing about the rice setting on the induction cooktop. You'll have to let us know if it really works! |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Oct 3, 12 at 12:46
The problem with a built-in cooker is the steam is going to ruin the cabinet, unless you have a dedicated exhaust fan for that cabinet. I've seen them in restaurants, but unless you want to do rice for 100 at a time, it's not a good idea. It's on the counter because you use it a lot. That's not clutter, that's equipment. |
I think the best solution is to build a little door the rice cooker will slide out of, like this: http://www.houzz.com/photos/73500/SEN-Design-Kitchen---Bath-Professionals-eclectic-kitchen-san-diego |
I am with Huango. It takes me 20 minutes to cook brown rice on my cooktop (see link below). Also, if you pre-soak rice, it cooks much faster. I did not know this till two weeks ago. And OT: I hope your DH eats brown rice not white. Large consumption of white rice is a *sure* way to diabetes as it has high glycemic index (plus, it has a very low nutritional value). There are many other great GF "grains" such as quinoa, buckwheat, and millet that rank higher than rice nutrition-wise. (They are not exactly grains, they are seeds.) I am sure you know that, but just in case... -) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cooking brown rice in 20 minutes
Isn't it called an "appliance garage"? Alternatively, you can use a lift-up shelf, like this one. |

lazygardens -- "It's on the counter because you use it a lot. That's not clutter, that's equipment." This is very true, and it's good to be reminded that my kitchen is, was, and will be a working kitchen. Thanks! heidia -- that's a very cool way to store appliances. I wish I had room in my kitchen for something like that, but in the current iteration of the layout, there's no room. I'm giving up uppers cabinets for a lot of windows. eleena -- no worries about white rice. We're vegetarian and eat only brown rice and quinoa, plus a lot of legumes. Have you ever tried a rice cooker? I never thought I needed one -- making rice on the stove is not exactly a chore -- but it's hard to contemplate going back now that I have one. Sounds ridiculous, I know. |
- Posted by justmakeit (My Page) on Wed, Oct 3, 12 at 15:31
eleena -- I've seen those for stand mixers, but never thought of it for the rice cooker. Hmm, that's an interesting suggestion -- that might work well for this. Thank you. P.S. I did not realize that presoaking rice shortens the cooking time! |
I'll have try the stovetop method again. I have a rice cooker, and I have also switched to brown rice for the reasons eleena cites. I find the rice cooker leaves the brown rice a bit too underdone. I have tried putting more water in (to make it cook longer), but so far no big change. Before I move to stovetop, any tips on brown rice in a rice cooker? |
Yes, I have tried a rice-cooker. Being such a "sucker" for kitchen gadgets, how would I not have? LOL. When we moved into this house, I thought I had plenty of storage space - but not any longer, and it probably has something to do with my desire to have all the "conveniences" in the kitchen. :-) The rice cooker is now sitting in the pantry (has been for years, actually). It is a 10-cup version and was taking up too much counter space. As you, I hated moving it all the time. Also, the rice-cooker has a non-stick interior which I have been trying to for some time. IDK, but I really prefer the stove top method. I can then put the pot in the DW while the rice-cooker insert had to be hand-washed. Etc. Angie, Try pre-soaking the rice. Some say that 30 minutes are enough and some do it overnight. You may have to experiment so it is not overcooked. |

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
This operation uses a muscle called the latissimus dorsi and some overlying fat and skin from your back, and is often referred to as the latissimus dorsi flap (LD flap).
The flap and its blood supply are tunnelled under the skin below your armpit and put into position on your chest to make a new breast shape.
Often, there isn't enough tissue to form the new breast shapes with LD flaps, so an implant may be put behind each flap. Occasionally, a large amount of fat is taken with the muscle. This is called an extended latissimus dorsi flap and may be done so that implants aren't needed.
A latissimus dorsi flap may be suitable for women who have small, medium or large breasts.
It may not be suitable for women who:
Skin-sparing bilateral prophylactic mastectomies using a latissimus dorsi flap and nipple reconstruction (with tattooing)
Front and back view two months after skin-sparing prophylactic mastectomies using a latissimus dorsi flap (without nipple reconstruction)
This is the most common problem soon after LD flap surgery. Seromas| usually get better with time as your body heals, although they may need to be drained a few times. Occasionally seromas persist (chronic seroma) and need extra treatment.
After the operation you will have some weakness in your back and shoulders. This will improve over time as there are many muscles in the back that can compensate for the loss of the LD muscle.
You should regain full shoulder strength for most activities 6–12 months after the surgery. But you may notice weakness during some movements, such as pushing up to get out of the bath.
Most women can return to daily activities, including sports such as swimming and tennis, without any problems. However, the ability to take part in sports such as rowing, rock climbing, cross-country skiing or playing competitive racquet sports at a high level are likely to be affected by LD flap surgery.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free* (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm).

If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.

Chapter Four: 1971-1980
By the 1980s most participants had seen computers, however their experiences with and knowledge of electronic literacies differed. This generation was also the first to exhibit the unique ability to meld technology uses for work, school, and leisure, which was not characteristic of previous generations. Many participants remember seeing technologies introduced in their favorite movies and other popular media, such as the use of a cell phone in the blockbuster Pretty Woman.
Their stories expand the characteristics of four points: micro-tear zone psychology, home literacy zones, transport sponsorship, and school gateways. Transport sponsorship is an important concept introduced in this chapter because participants often needed someone to take them to a place where they could access books or computers. As computers became more accessible in home environments, so did home literacy zones where literacy practices were honed and expanded. Despite the presence of computers in the home, most participants revealed that their first experiences with computers were at schools, however most of them attested to self-sponsoring (learning the functions of the computer on their own). In addition, gender bias seems to have been somewhat eradicated as women began to occupy roles that had been previously associated with men during this time. Interestingly, members of this generation all described an intense motivation to succeed, and many of them told stories of great perseverance through positive and negative micro-tear zones in order to do so.
In this chapter, Scenters-Zapico notes the far-reaching effects the psychology of the micro-tear zones can have on learners. He rightly notes that the ways in which parents and teachers respond to learners can cause long-lasting positive or negative reactions to learning experiences. However, by creating positive micro-tear zones for young learners we can as Scenter-Zapico states, "create motivated, lifelong learners capable of adapting and embracing quick-paced electronic literacies" (149).
Also noted is that access to technological gateways became increasingly important for participants as a way to acquire new electronic literacies. This is an important concept for educators to understand when considering electronic assignments, because often times we do not pay attention to those students who while they may have access to technologies, are in need of transport sponsors to get them to schools, libraries, or friends' homes to complete homework. If we are not fully aware of these issues we risk increasing the divide between those that have access to technologies in their homes and those that do not.

By definition, any significant change in the makeup of a proudly embraced city like ours is controversial. Think of it as a home renovation, except with hundreds of thousands of opinions from people with a passionate sense of ownership, instead of two or three getting worked up about knocking out a wall or adding a burgundy accent.
Northern Alberta is hardly unfamiliar with bears. Grizzly bears, black bears and brown bears call this province home. Only provinces and territories with Arctic coastline, however, such as Manitoba, Ontario, Northwest Territories and Nunavut get to lay claim to the polar bear, the largest of the bear species and icon of the Canadian north.
An early Alberta election is an excellent idea, Premier Prentice. Please, call one right after your March budget — and start the long overdue debate on ending our boom-and-bust fiscal policy. Our democracy — such as it is following the Wildrose submission — would benefit in three ways from such a vote.
Those of us in the newspaper business know a thing or two about unfortunate typos. Letters can so easily go astray as fingers fly, sometimes with cringeworthy results.
Were you shocked, too, by news of a $240 jolt to your annual electricity bills for new transmission lines? Well, let's compensate by having some fun with an imaginary scenario. How would we feel if our city or provincial government outsourced all tax decisions the way it has insulated itself from this particular levy by turning over the matter to an independent, blue-ribbon group of needs-assessment experts?
Premier Jim Prentice said Tuesday "everything is on the table" as Alberta struggles to balance its budget while oil revenue drops precipitously. The fact Prentice uttered the phrase "sales tax" without the word "no" preceding what is the equivalent of an expletive in Alberta is a sign of just how worried he is about a revenue slide he says could leave a $6-billion to $7-billion hole in the provincial budget.
If an elephant never forgets, as the expression goes, it seems equally true that animal rights activists never forget an elephant. Ever. This week, an international animal rights organization inducted Edmonton's Valley Zoo into its "Hall of Shame" specifically because it continues to house Lucy, a 39-year-old Asian elephant.
Sunday's massive demonstration in the streets of Paris was an incredible, lump-in-the-throat reaffirmation of human values. Perhaps more importantly, the two million who sang and chanted, and the millions more who attended similar outpourings elsewhere, gave irrefutable evidence of their solidarity and commitment to mutual respect and human rights.
Oh Edmonton. What can we do to cheer you up? According to a group of University of Ottawa researchers, you're down in the dumps online when it comes to communication in 140 characters — at least compared with five other Canadian cities.
Why does the Alberta government even bother trying to bolster Alberta's image as a jurisdiction that cares about and nurtures the natural environment? Think about it: Vast sums are spent year after year touting this province as a place to celebrate nature, with oil-industry workers planting trees, and beautiful children gambolling along beaches. And then — ka-blamo! — it's blown away by a stereotype-reinforcing story about a coyote-killing contest, complete with fun prizes for the mangiest animal destroyed. And a rule that roadkill is not allowed.
Kalashnikov-wielding men made it their mission Wednesday to slaughter journalists in France's Charlie Hebdo newsroom, a publication known for boundary-pushing cartoon and commentary. What can their media colleagues do in response but pick up a pen.
For all the big grins at the gas pump as Albertans fuel up their vehicle for prices in the 70-cent-per-litre range, sinking oil prices rightfully are prompting equally big gulps as Alberta's economy feels the squeeze. The price of West Texas Intermediate oil dropped below $50 US a barrel Monday for the first time since 2009, in case you missed it, closing on Tuesday at $47.93 US. It's terrible news for a province that budgeted for an average oil price of $95 US a barrel and for a business environment that depends on higher prices given the higher costs of extracting bitumen versus conventional oil.
The collateral damage from domestic violence is severe and far-reaching. One week after 53-year-old Phu Lam killed six family members and two others before turning the gun on himself, the tragic spillover is one of the few crystal clear facts in a senseless burst of violence.
It is a rant that resonated from coast to coast to coast: a screed from a Tim Hortons loyalist so fed up with being treated like a "second class customer" that he committed to quitting the chain's double-doubles and doughnuts for a year. Ottawa resident William Goldring penned his breakup note to Tim Hortons officials, and shared it with the Ottawa Citizen last week after an experience he deemed the final insult.
Welcome to 2015, cherished readers. On a day in which newspaper editorials generally have a vague, gently throbbing sense of déjà vu nestled just behind the eyes, welcome to our first-ever set of New Year's predictions that will all come true.

What is the best aspect for azaleas and rhodies. My house is aligned N-S, so I have a S wall with plenty of sun, a N wall with no sun, an E wal with morning sun, and a W wall with afternoon sun. Which would be best, or does it depend on the cultivar? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It depends on the cultivars. Some will take full sun while others get lace bugs or sunburn. A few will take shade but this tends to hamper the setting of flower buds and, hence, blooming. Most like partial sun and partial shade. In general, the east facing exposure is ideal for more plants since the morning sun will remove the morning dew and help prevent disease. However, the west facing exposure is near ideal and most plants should be OK there. The other consideration is winter hardiness. Winter sun and wind stress rhododendrons and azaleas. That is why you see some people put burlap around their plants (not over them). I personally don't like this except for new plants the first year or two. Small evergreen azalea plants especially need some protection the first two or three years. More tender plants will do better on the north side near the east or west side if you give them wind protection. Ideally you will put in some trees on the south side to provide high shade. This means partial shade. I have had good luck with red oak and meta sequoia that I planted. They both grew rather quickly for me. Sweet gum and sour gum are said to be good also. Also, ideally you will put in some wind breaks on the northwest side. At least, for me, that is the predominant direction the winter winds come from. You don't say where in PA you live. In general, the best rhododendrons for the south facing side are the iron clads, very hardy varieties such as Nova Zembla, English Roseum, Roseum Elegans, Boule de Neige, Catawbiense Album, Mrs. Charles S. Sargent, Purpureum Elegans, and PJM. Evergreen azaleas aren't as hardy. The hardier ones are: Bixby, Helen Curtis, Hino-red, Hino-white, Karens, and Marie's Choice. |

The Hangover
The premise — crazy Vegas bachelor party they can't remember and a groom missing — makes you think you're in for a turd of a movie. But The Hangover ($16-$20) turned out to be one of the funniest of the year thanks to Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helm and Old School director Todd Phillips. The special edition includes both the theatrical version and an unrated version of the film, as well as extras like more pictures from the missing camera.

Women in Michigan who suffer miscarriages may not be receiving patient-centered care
Research Activities, December 2009, No. 352
A woman who suffers a miscarriage has several treatment options. She can wait to see if the miscarriage progresses naturally (expectant management), take a drug called misoprostol to speed up the miscarriage, or have surgery (uterine evacuation) in a medical office or a hospital. In Michigan, however, providers' attitudes appear to be dictating treatment by expectant management or surgery in a hospital operating room, a new study finds. Vanessa K. Dalton, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Michigan Medical School, and colleagues identified 21,311 women enrolled in Michigan's Medicaid program and 1,493 women from a university-affiliated health plan in Michigan who experienced miscarriages.
The women covered by Medicaid were more likely to be treated with surgery (35 percent) than the women enrolled in the university plan (18 percent). In addition, just 0.5 percent of the Medicaid enrollees had surgery in medical offices, while nearly 31 percent of the university plan's women underwent office procedures. This most likely occurred because the latter women had access to a network of providers who offered this service while the Medicaid-insured women did not. Once the university plan offered office uterine evacuations, researchers saw a movement away from hospitals and toward medical offices. However, this option may have also led some women and providers to choose surgery in lieu of expectant management or misoprostol use, which was low for both the Medicaid group and the university plan.
The primary factor in determining treatment patterns for miscarriages appears to be having access to providers who offer a range of services, the authors suggest. Some providers may shy away from in-office surgeries because the procedure is so similar to induced abortions. Expanding treatment options for miscarriage so that they reflect patient preferences will have the dual effect of improving patient care and decreasing health care resource use, the authors suggest.
This study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS15491). See "Treatment patterns for early pregnancy failure in Michigan," by Dr. Dalton, Lisa H. Harris, M.D., Ph.D., Sarah J. Clark, M.P.H, and others in the June 2009 Journal of Women's Health 18(6), pp. 787-793.

what happens when you have 3 varieties of lets say tomatoes and you want to breed all 3 into a super-tomato. i'd hope that after 8 years or so, the new variety would stabilize. Here's my thought... we start off with varieties A, B, and C. The experimental plant which we're making is called X. each year we switch which variety gets bread with X until X has hybridized with each variety at least 3 times to promote gene stability. year the idea would be to keep on rotating this patern until X can breed with X to create more X's. I don't know how long this would take or if 3 parent plants will work the way I'd hope. Any thoughts or experiences? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think it would be simpler to breed A and B, grow out the results until you have a tomato with the traits you were looking for from each ("X") and then breed X to C. Then grow out the new line until you have all the traits you want. Or look for an existing variety that is already "X" and save some time. But I'm not an expert, just getting started myself. I found this site pretty useful. |
Here is a link that might be useful: website on tomato breeding
it's not about saving time; i have my whole life to experiment with plants and i will develop breeds from my favorite strains to make my own unique breeds throughout my life. It's a hobby; not a burden. The plant kingdom is full of infinite wonders... but I digress. I don't think it would be easier to breed A x B and then breed X x C. I feel like that would take more time to stabilize. I read it takes about 8 years for some plants or even more, so this can potentially take 16 years or more. I want to rotate the variety each year for consistency and have X be introduced to A, B, or C's traits in alternating years to receive a potency of A, B or C's traits each year. this way, each year X(?) x (A, B, or C) will both be different strains from the previous X(?). I apologize if this is difficult to make sense of... In my head it does, but that doesn't matter so much when i'm trying to explain this to other people, hahah. Here's the reason for this hybridizing experiment. I have this theory that by introducing a parent rotation each year, X will be more apt to change and perhaps develop completely new traits or something magical like that... just like a mutt; which can be one of the smartest and well adapted of all the dog breeds; each one with their own uniqueness. Heck, i'm going to perform another hybridizing experiment at the same time where it's not only a mix of A, B, and C, but also D, E, F, and so on.... never repeating the original pepper. will generations of acquiring different traits from different parents result in one of the most adaptable peppers of our time? or just a DNA overloaded flop of a pepper plant? only time will tell... has someone already done the time? |
that is a great article, nialialea. although it doesn't address multiple parent rotations, it paints a nice picture of the general stabilization process. |

Near the bottom of the page is a lot of good links to more information on that site, notably quite a bit about the genetics of a tomato. Your plan sounds overly complicated to me, but it's your hobby. |
Altito, That is because none of those cultivars have long slender three-forked petals. Likewise, this tubular petaled zinnia can't be created by combining existing cultivars. Our garden zinnias were developed by plant breeders from a wildflower that was found in Mexico. It was a totally unimpressive little single purple flower. |

You will not gain stability by repeatedly breeding with 3 different varieties. Breeding back to a parent is called recurrent backcrossing (because your crossing your hybrid back to one of the parents) Backcrossing to a single parent to capture traits you want is useful (as long as you don't lose the traits you want from the other parent variety). But by repeatedly backcrossing to different parents, you are constantly yanking 'X' in different directions. When you cross 'X' with C (the 2nd cross) how will you know if 'X2' has all the traits from A and B that you want? At the end of the 8 years some of the 'X8' progency (and you can't have just 1 X8 plant) may have all the genes you want, but it won't be stabilized. |
Hello mauch1, responding to your email, [This message originated at GardenWeb] Since I cannot reply to your email by email, I will respond here. It is probably better to do it here, anyway, because your question and my response might be helpful to others. In regard to the forked petals zinnias (I refer to them as "toothies") I had crossed several different Whirligigs with cactus flowered zinnias like Burpee's Burpeeanas, in an attempt to get bi-colored and tri-colored cactus types, and I noticed a few of the hybrids had inherited little teeth from the Whirligigs. I liked the effect, and crossed them with each other, and some of the next generation had more pronounced teeth, so I intercrossed them. And so on. One of my goals (actually, I have many zinnia breeding goals) is to create a strain of toothy zinnias in a complete range of colors, including some multi-colored forms. In answer to your question, I am not relying on simple selection, but on repeatedly intercrossing different specimens that show some tendency in the right direction, and culling specimens that don't. I do quite a bit of culling at first-bloom time, so that I can focus on the best 5% to 10% of my zinnias. If you are curious about zinnia breeding as a hobby, there is a series of message threads in the GardenWeb Annuals forum with the title, "It can be fun to breed your own zinnias". That series is up to Part 20 now. Zinnias offer a unique set of advantages as a subject for amateur breeding experiments, including easy-to-handle seeds, ease and speed of growing, fast flowering, easy cross-pollination, and a huge variety of flower colors and forms, and plants that range from only a few inches high to several feet high. In many areas you can cross-pollinate your first outdoor generation, immediately plant seeds from them and see the results of your crosses that same year. By also growing zinnias indoors, as I do, you can get up to four generations of zinnias in a year, which makes it possible to do some really effective breeding. (Sometimes I think of them as the fruit flies of the plant kingdom). But indoors or outdoors, zinnias are an "instant gratification" hobby. They can be as casual or involved as you want them to be. For me, they have gone from planting a few packets of zinnia seed in the corner of the garden to an enthusiastic avocation. ZM |

- In hibernating animals, the stress of a declining food supply causes increased serotonin production. In humans and animals that don't hibernate, the stress of winter causes very similar changes. Serotonin lowers temperature by decreasing the metabolic rate. Tryptophan and melatonin are also hypothermic. In the winter, more thyroid is needed to maintain a normal rate of metabolism.– Overdose with the serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or with 5-hydroxytryptophan [or 5-HTP], which has effects similar to serotonin, can cause the sometimes fatal "serotonin syndrome." Symptoms can include tremors, altered consciousness, poor coordination, cardiovascular disturbances, and seizures. Treatment with anti-serotonin drugs can alleviate the symptoms and usually can prevent death. [Note to self: super glad I stopped taking 5-HTP.]
– The high serotonin syndrome has been reported in users of St. John's wort as an antidepressant.
– Although several amino acids can be acutely or chronically toxic, even lethal, when too much is eaten, tryptophan is the only amino acid that is also carcinogenic. (It can also produce a variety of toxic metabolites, and it is very susceptible to damage by radiation.) Since tryptophan is the precursor of serotonin, the amount of tryptophan in the diet can have important effects on the way the organism responds to stress, and the way it develops, adapts, and ages.
– Decreasing tryptophan or decreasing serotonin improves learning and alertness, while increased serotonin impairs learning.
– Serotonin's contribution to high blood pressure is well established. It activates the adrenal cortex both directly and through activation of the pituitary. It stimulates the production of both cortisol and aldosterone.
- If serotonin deficiency doesn't cause depression, then what does?
- How do we treat mood disorders outside of increasing serotonin?
- Why do tryptophan, 5-HTP and St. John's Wort make some people feel terrible (like me), but make others feel better?
- How did our ideas about serotonin get turned so upside down?

please help on what to do about seeds. |
They are biennial for me. 1st year they sort of look like catnip, I guess, it's the closest I can come up. The flowers appear similar to phlox but bloom earlier. They like to grow in light to medium shade. I just kept the seeds in the refrigerator until spring. Then with a couple days of warm, rainy weather ahead, I simply tossed the seeds in a semi-wooded area. I got a very large amount of them to germinate and they grew easily. Many of seeds germinated on top of the leaves and put roots down. |

2004 Chevy Tahoe awd heated seats
OK I know this truck is kinda old but new to me the heated seats won't work they may come on for 30secs tops and to add injury to insult I bought this thing not knowing it did not have an owners manual which I'm lost ont his one this truck has a lot of little stuff going on that a owners manual would really help me out any help would be great after three days this is my only issue

Someone at work says maybe they automatically turn off when the seats warm yeah sure great but the seat needs to get warm first has anyone had an issue like this
