Breakfast Topic: Spill your 5-man PUG stories here {WoW}
Jan 26th 2012 11:24AM Normally I heal on my paladin, but I off-tank on my druid for my guild's alt runs of raids. If I'm bored, I'll hit up the 5-mans.
I was running End Time with a full LFG PuG, and I kept seeing my health drop precipitously low, so I'd have to blow all my cooldowns and health pots and whatnot. When I actually died on the patrol right before Murozond, I asked what happened. The healer said, quite plainly, "You're not in tanking gear, so I'm not healing you. All you did was reforge some dodge onto your cat gear."
I linked Thick Hide and spelled out my mastery, and suggested he understand how all the tanks work before he tries healing again.
The aesthetic consequences of new character models {WoW}
Jan 23rd 2012 4:46PM I don't think there needs to be a CHANGE, per se. I do think the original models need a polygon upgrade, and a new skeleton - watch a goblin flex, and compare that with an orc. The orc's flex is much more rigid, less fluid, and has fewer points of articulation. The hair on most of the original races is starting to look pretty crappy. I mean, look at the Troll 'hawks or the Tauren manes. They dont even look like hair, just free-floating textures.
I don't think the art itself, the skin textures, look bad; and based on their performance to date (updating druid models, goblin and worgen) I have every faith they can update the original eight without destroying the aesthetic.
How to transition from PvE into PvP {WoW}
Jan 13th 2012 6:54PM My strategy for prepping for the season's PvP has been "get what gives me the most resil first", and I think that's an effective strategy when starting out as well. Big-ticket items like helm, chest, and shoulders will of course have heaps of resilience. HOWEVER, if you're starting out, nothing is more important than a trinket to get you out of snares and stuns
To reiterate:
PvP trinket, then whatever has the most resilience.
Blizzard's battle in South Korea over the real money auction house {WoW}
Jan 13th 2012 3:52PM Regarding the email:
I think the real downfall of the Guardian Cub was that demand was limited. Few people are so completionist that they must have every pet on every character. In fact, most collectors that I know only collect on one character. This means that the saturation point is better figured as a percentage of accounts, not avatars, and that absolute number is going to be much lower.
However, selling game time wouldn't have the same limitation; game time is a highly desired commodity, and purchasing one does not preclude purchasing another. Supply will be low and demand will be high. In short, game time could actually kill gold farming, or at least legitimize it somewhat.
How could tanking design be changed? {WoW}
Jan 11th 2012 2:19PM Maybe the solution is to do away with mitigation stats entirely!
If you roll mitigation into talents (which sounds a lot easier come Mists), and then kill easy-mode threat, suddenly tanking is a two-stage game: Stage 1-generate as much threat as you can. Stage 2 - use your O CRAP buttons to avoid the Big Bad Thing
Threat modifiers are already in the game - Defensive Stance, Righteous Fury, Bear Form, Blood Presence. But they're modest, as they should be. But now dps stats become threat stats, so maybe with each of the threat modifier abilities is a line that says "30% of your dps is now instead threat" or something to keep tank dps from being silly.
And bosses will still have dangerous mechanics, as per Blizzard's philosophy of reactive tanking, so you still need O CRAP buttons.
just my 2 cents.

The Light and How to Swing It: Examining secondary stats for holy paladins {WoW}
Jan 9th 2012 5:07AM If you look at how each particular secondary stat scales (in terms of point of rating per percent), crit looks god-awful, while haste is beautiful.
In Wrath I loved stacking crit - nothing like seeing big green numbers all night long. But with how hard it is to actually stack crit now, and how fast damage comes in, critical chance rating is just untenable.
Note that I made no mention of mastery. It does, in fact, give a nice rate of return on investment, but mastery can be so situational, its sad. I do, however, remember seeing some BoT runs of a paladin that had stacked all mastery, and that was sick to watch. But by and large, you just get more bang for your buck from haste.
Breakfast Topic: Should PVP and PVE gear be so different from each other? {WoW}
Nov 9th 2011 8:32AM critting, not drifting. Curse you, AutoCorrect!
Breakfast Topic: Should PVP and PVE gear be so different from each other? {WoW}
Nov 9th 2011 8:29AM No way! I love the system we have now!
Have you ever tried to duel as holy in PvE gear? If my opponent sucks, I MIGHT survive the Forbearance timer after my bubble. Probably not.
The issue is actually resilience. It's slows down dps to a speed that can be managed, letting you get off more than 2 or 3 GCDs. That resil consumes item budget compounds this by reducing the available, useful secondary stats. Now, not only are you attAcking faster, drifting more, or mastering your spec more, the damage you ARE doing is being slashed by 30% or more.
This is a godsend for healing (whose net healing remains unaffected), and is exactly what pvp needs: a speed limit. PvE is about who can blow what up the fastest; PvP shouldn't. It's supposed to be who can outplay who. Those two paradigms either require different mechanics or different gear; I find the latter more elegant.
Addon Spotlight: Addon Roulette and win a Razer Nostromo {WoW}
Oct 27th 2011 9:32PM I can honestly not live without ICEHud + Kong. I've got it configured to show my vuhdo frames when I'm in my healing spec, and my pilot-style HUD when I'm dps'ing.

Z-tests and t tests
data points should be independent from each other
z-test is preferable when n is greater than 30.
the distributions should be normal if n is low, if however n>30 the distribution of the data does not have to be normal
the variances of the samples should be the same (F-test)
all individuals must be selected at random from the population
all individuals must have equal chance of being selected
sample sizes should be as equal as possible but some differences are allowed
data sets should be independent from each other except in the case of the paired-sample t-test
where n<30 the t-tests should be used
the distributions should be normal for the equal and unequal variance t-test (K-S test or Shapiro-Wilke)
the variances of the samples should be the same (F-test) for the equal variance t-test
all individuals must be selected at random from the population
all individuals must have equal chance of being selected
sample sizes should be as equal as possible but some differences are allowed
if you do not find a significant difference in your data, you cannot say that the samples are the same
Z-test and t-test are basically the same; they compare between two means to suggest whether both samples come from the same population. There are however variations on the theme for the t-test. If you have a sample and wish to compare it with a known mean (e.g. national average) the single sample t-test is available. If both of your samples are not independent of each other and have some factor in common, i.e. geographical location or before/after treatment, the paired sample t-test can be applied. There are also two variations on the two sample t-test, the first uses samples that do not have equal variances and the second uses samples whose variances are equal.
It is well publicised that female students are currently doing better then male students! It could be speculated that this is due to brain size differences? To assess differences between a set of male students' brains and female students' brains a z or t-test could be used. This is an important issue (as I'm sure you'll realise lads) and we should use substantial numbers of measurements. Several universities and colleges are visited and a set of male brain volumes and a set of female brain volumes are gathered (I leave it to your imagination how the brain sizes are obtained!).
Excel can apply the z or t-tests to data arranged in rows or in columns, but the statistical packages nearly always use columns and are required side by side.
Degrees of freedom:
For the z-test degrees of freedom are not required since z-scores of 1.96 and 2.58 are used for 5% and 1% respectively.
For unequal and equal variance t-tests = (n1 + n2) - 2
For paired sample t-test = number of pairs - 1
The output from the z and t-tests are always similar and there are several values you need to look for:
You can check that the program has used the right data by making sure that the means (1.81 and 1.66 for the t-test), number of observations (32, 32) and degrees of freedom (62) are correct. The information you then need to use in order to reject or accept your HO, are the bottom five values. The t Stat value is the calculated value relating to your data. This must be compared with the two t Critical values depending on whether you have decided on a one or two-tail test (do not confuse these terms with the one or two-way ANOVA). If the calculated value exceeds the critical values the HO must be rejected at the level of confidence you selected before the test was executed. Both the one and two-tailed results confirm that the HO must be rejected and the HA accepted.
We can also use the P(T<=t) values to ascertain the precise probability rather than the one specified beforehand. For the results of the t-test above the probability of the differences occurring by chance for the one-tail test are 2.3x10-9 (from 2.3E-11 x 100). All the above P-values denote very high significant differences.

Benedict Cumberbatch tackles 'contentious' character: Julian Assange
An interview with Benedict Cumberbatch, star of "Sherlock," who plays WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in the upcoming film "The Fifth Estate."
Seattle Times movie critic
Coming up
'The Fifth Estate'
Opens Friday at several theaters. Rated R for language and some violence.
"He's very interested in the message, rather than the messenger," says Benedict Cumberbatch, at the Toronto International Film Festival last month for the world premiere of "The Fifth Estate." The actor is speaking of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whom Cumberbatch plays in the film — and who, quite publicly, did not want "The Fifth Estate" to be made.
Before filming, Cumberbatch contacted Assange privately, hoping they could meet. "There was a brief email exchange at the beginning," said Cumberbatch, "where he just said, 'Don't do this, this is antithetical to me and my institution and those I care about, it may be damaging.' I wrote back and said, 'Well, I'm going to try to make sure that's not the case. I want to portray you in a balanced way.' " Nonetheless, Assange declined to meet with him.
(Last week, Assange made his letter public on wikileaks.org; in it, he refers to Cumberbatch as a "hired gun" and "a jobbing actor who gets paid to follow the script, no matter how debauched." Cumberbatch, responding on a Reddit chat, politely defended himself, saying he was "proud to be involved in tackling such a contentious character and script," and that "The film should provoke debate and not consensus.")
In Toronto, Cumberbatch described how he immersed himself in the character. "I was very keen to balance out [the script] with [Assange's] version of events, from his autobiography and other accounts from colleagues and the institution, as much as I could." With a dialect coach, he practiced Assange's "very specific accent ... he's got a sort of hard palate lisp." He was physically transformed, with a white-blond wig and false teeth that changed the shape of his mouth. And he tried to understand the man, and to avoid easy characterizations.
"For anybody in public life, you need an audience to do what you do. He needs an audience to read what he publishes, and so people are naturally wanting to look behind the curtain and see who this Wizard of Oz is ... People want a sense of control and understanding of the chaos that is life by being able to define things in a very certain way. I don't know — I keep having exciting encounters with a reality that is a little more complex than that to want to take sides."
Cumberbatch, a 37-year-old Englishman, is no stranger to challenging roles; recent work includes roles as the villain Khan in "Star Trek Into Darkness," the troubled aristocrat Christopher Tietjens in the miniseries "Parade's End" (he loved that role "probably more than any other character I've played"), and a Southern plantation owner in the upcoming "12 Years a Slave." He'll also be seen later this year in "August: Osage County" (as Meryl Streep's nephew) and as Smaug/The Necromancer in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug."
But the role he's perhaps best known for — and that one that helped land "The Fifth Estate" — is the title role in the BBC television series "Sherlock," a contemporary retelling of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Cumberbatch and co-star Martin Freeman (as Dr. Watson) have filmed a third season of the hit series, though it has yet to air, and a fourth season looks likely.
"Really, I can't claim that it takes a great leap of imagination to imagine Assange in Sherlock," said "Fifth Estate" director Bill Condon, in Toronto. "There are these ways in which they overlap — the searing intelligence and the kind of almost autistic behavioral patterns. Also I have to say, the charisma."

That could have a good future! I'd imagine pruning is best in the late winter so the wounds aren't exposed for very long. Pruning in dormany can also provide styling advantages because you don't have leaves in the way. Good luck! |

Hi There, Finally,someone with an oak as a Bonsai in Training!!! Yours is absolutely exquisite in form-how did you come about getting yours? Did you grow it from seed or take a cutting or dig from ground as a young tree?? I have a live oak seedling grown from an acorn-mother tree is focal point of backyard-house built around it,and just in case something were to happen....storm,move...(I'd die before I move...)anyway, it is about a foot tall now with new shoots looking like maybe to branch out now.I don't know if it should be pruned by "cutting top off" :( or let it continue to mature awhile before making too drastic a decision.I'd love to have it form into what people see live oaks to be out in the fields of FL and GA....with branches bending to the ground and then starting back up again-gorgeous, aren't they? Well, fellow oak bonsai person, if you want to chat or have any tips, PLEASE send on and I will have a clue as to how to proceed with my live oak. Pls let me know the story behind your pin oak,it seems to be quite the Bonsai Beginning !!! |
i am growing many different species of oaks from seed as i have found that i often get multitrunked seedling from a single seed, 2 to 3 trunks. i think willow oak have potential as they are shallow rooted (unlike bur oaks) and have smallish willow shaped leaves. |

In a word, yes. Sending HDMI, particularly with HDCP, involves a lot of different things happening at very high speed. Transmission or wiring errors often will result in no picture at all. In component video, you can have problems and still get a picture ranging from pretty good to bad. With HDMI, problems often mean no picture.Error or losses in the signal chain accumulate. If that last statement is not scary enough, losses may be tolerated on some content material more than others. Bottom line, don't cut corners. Some past wiring practices will get you into trouble. Be leery of jobs where someone else ran the wiring and pay close attention to the advice below:

Juan Carlos Quintana was born in New Orleans of Cuban parents. He attended Tulane University as well as St. Louis University in Madrid, Spain. Quintana's paintings, always masterfully executed and complex, explore questions of identity, both political and personal. Taking iconography from his American and Cuban cultures, he uses political cartoons, popular comic strips and children's books to explore the world around him. Quintana speaks of an "ambivalent nostalgia" in his work, presumably where one's love of place could be matched by a more palatable history. Quintana has shown at John Berggruen Gallery and in galleries in Cuba, New Orleans and throughout the U.S. He is in the collection of the San Jose Museum of Art and has had residencies in the Djerassi Artist Residency Program in Woodside California and the Fundacion Valparaiso Artist Residency in Mojacar, Spain.
In addition to works on canvas, we are pleased to have a collection of works on paper by Juan Carlos. Both he and his wife, Michele Muennig have worked frequently on paper both individually and collaboratively. The collaborative works, entitled the Complacent Wonderland series will be shown in the gallery along with works of each of the artists.

CARACAS, Monday March 02, 2009 | Update
At the beginning of his Sunday weekly program, President Chávez inaugurated the water transfer plant of Taiguaiguai-Tucutunemo, south of Aragua state (Photo: ABN)
Despite a sore throat, a medical advice to stay silent and
his promise that his TV and radio program Aló, presidente!
(Hello President) would be shorter than the previous ones,
President Hugo Chávez spoke on Sunday for five hours,
when restarting his weekly program that he had suspended on
January 11th, due to the electoral campaign for the constitutional
referendum that lifted the limit on presidential terms.
Venezuela's President ordered his governors and mayors to
draw "the map of the media war" to determine which media are
"owned by oligarchs."
After saying that "there are not five million rich people
in Venezuela," with regard to the opposition vote in the referendum,
Chávez said that "were it not for the attacks, the lies,
manipulation and exaggeration of the mistakes of the government"
by the private media, the popularity of his government would
be 80 percent instead of 60 percent or 70 percent, as he claims
to have.
"Every mayor, in every city council must make an analysis.
How many radio stations are there? What is the content of
the programs? Every governor in his or her respective state
must do the same analysis. Let us draw a map of the media
war. With respect to the newspapers, how many newspapers are
owned by the oligarchs in Aragua state, in the municipality
of Zamora? There is also a media war on the Internet. There
is a daily battle. I beg you to put at the forefront of this
battle," Chávez said.
Translated by Gerardo
Maria Lilibeth Da Corte
02:57 PM. HEAVY RAINS. Venezuelan Executive Vice-President Elias Jaua reported that the government is designing plans to support farmers, cattlemen and peasants of the state of Mérida who have been hit by heavy rains that have caused crop losses.

A man carrying his grandfather's ashes home from Florida's Orlando airport is furious after a confrontation with a Transportation Security Administration ended with the deceased man's ashes spilled on the airport floor.
John Gross was leaving Florida with the remains of his grandfather in a tightly sealed jar marked "Human Remains, " ABC Indianapolis affiliate RTV6 reported.
Gross said the TSA agent used her finger to sift through the ashes and accidentally spilled it. He said one-third to one-half of the ashes spilled and that the agent laughed as he tried to gather what he could from the floor.
"She didn't apologize. She started laughing. I was on my hands and knees picking up bone fragments. I couldn't pick up all, everything that was lost. I mean, there was a long line behind me."
With regard to the transportation of human remains, the TSA web site reads, "Passengers are allowed to carry a crematory container as part of their carry-on luggage, but the container must pass through the X-ray machine.
Out of respect to the deceased and their family and friends, under no circumstances will an officer open the container even if the passenger requests this be done. Documentation from the funeral home is not sufficient to carry a crematory container through security and onto a plane without screening."
The web site also states it may be possible to transport the remains as checked baggage, depending on the air carrier.
"I want an apology," said Gross. "I want an apology from TSA. I want an apology from the lady who opened the jar and laughed at me. I want them to help me understand where they get off treating people like this."
TSA did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
UPDATE: 4:30 p.m. EDT
The TSA sent the following statement to ABC News:
"TSA recognizes the importance of screening human remains with utmost respect and dignity while remaining vigilant of our security mission to protect the traveling public. It is a TSA policy that under no circumstance should a container holding remains be opened. We have been unable to reach the family to learn more about their perspective on the incident, however, our initial review concluded that the circumstances as described in some reports are inconsistent with what we believe transpired."

Experiences? Our toilets are the originals to our 1954 house, and we want to keep them. Can they be transformed into more water-saving devices?

NO- the amount of water required to effect a flush is determined by the diameter, height & shape of the trapway in the bowl. Simply changing to a tank that would feed less water will not work. |
The toilet manufacturers tried all sort of changes to bowl shape to make the low flow toilets function (and some 'sort of' function, while others require more than one flush, negating any water savings except a VERY old toilet). The bowl and paths from tank to bowl all got changed. You need to make sure any change you make ensures that the bowl (and the concealed s-trap) are filled after flushing. There are actually standards about how much water must be in the trap to make an effective seal. |
I'm not sure if low-flow and dual-flush kits are the same or different, but on the latter I did try to retrofit an original 1961 American Standard toilet with a dual-flush retrofit kit. The kit is similar to a toilet tank repair kit and replaces the toilet flap and handle inside the tank. Anyway didn't work, as the original flap contraption included this large metal piece that looked like it couldn't be removed without lifting the tank off the bowl, and I didn't want to risk taking apart the entire toilet. |

I never fail to get some pussy willow in early spring. It so happens other people like them too. We happen to wonder what kind of willow produce catkins. The size of the shrub and growth pattern? If it's a reasonable kind of growth and well behaved we would like to plant it. I have seen a standard in my neighborhood. Would that be a better way to get pussy willow? Thanks! |

All willows produce catkins - it's how they flower. But some of the showiest of the genus are the shrub willows, a number of which are grown specifically for their spring catkins. All like moist soils but many will tolerate regular garden soil as well. Salix caprea Routine harvesting of the catkin-bearing stems as they appear in spring will keep all of these willow shrubs at a mangeable size. |

Yesterday I put a Japanese lantern next to my Koi pond and it creates such a nice mood at night with just enough light to create an 'atmosphere' without lighting up the whole surround. And I was wondering how to capture that on a picture - it was then that I remembered my camera tripod that I used for my old manual SLR cameras and I gave it a shot. I still have to practice with the right lens openings and shutter speeds and focussing in the dark, but I am quite impressed! I tried to take a picture of Lisa's Ring of Fire by only the light of that 11 watt lamp and it also came out not to bad. So I tried DeRolf as well. Now I got a new hobby!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
WOW again! Ring of Fire is particularly beautiful with an almost translucent quality. Please keep us involved in your new hobby!!! |

Very nice Japie |
Very nice- look forward to seeing more. Cheers J & A |
Another woweee, more please. |
That looks great, Japie! I think I'll rename it 'Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble'. |

Bring on more Twilight Zone pics, Japie! Very ethereal. K |
I like the Derolf: 13", F4 with ISO 100. Did you let the camera figure that out and how did you focus? You must have a better lens than the kit lens. I have a 450D vs your 350D and desperately need to get a tripod and some new glass would be good too. |
Thanks everyone! Bromadams, I must admit I cheated! I just put the camera on A-Dep setting and pushed the button. The camera did all the work - and it is just the kit lens. I did take 5 pictures and selected the best one. I plan to experiment and do some fine-tuning. Lisa, I can understand he BB, but the TT? Japie |

Hi avane - Yes, all of what everyone else said! All the best, Nev |
Thank you very much for the info. |
You've inspired me to try a few night shots now Japie. These photos do add a sense of drama...I like the way the lighting in the last pic shows off the trunk of your ponytail palm. |
That is beautiful, Japie. So tropical and inviting. I am amazed that none of your collection has gone walkies. I would love to replicate the look in my front yard, (but I will start with some of my less valuable plants, mistrusting individual that I am). Is that a Ponytail Palm? I mistook it for a Dracaena, but then the base does look like a Ponytail. Very dramatic plant! Thank you so much for the visual feast! |
- Posted by kerry_t_australia 9 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 22, 08 at 5:29
I agree, Japie - fan-blardy-tastic! What a welcoming paradise - pink sky and all. Congratulations on an artistic masterpiece, and thanks heaps for enlightening us - and your garden. K |
Bromcrazy, yes, that is a ponytail, I am not too sure what it's real name is, but I think it is Beaucarnea stricta. The big dracaena I've got, is aroud the bend in the front of the house (see post with pectinata pictures). It has split into 4 heads already. Japie |
Of course, Japie! It didn't occur to me that there was more than one species in the genus having the same common name. Live and learn! I have a young B. recurvata that looks like Cousin It on a bad hair day. Your pony is using some seriously heavy duty hair gel. ;) I love the structural element it lends to your garden. And yes, I have already coveted your Dracaena around the corner. Very nice! When you say it has split into four heads 'already', I get the feeling it is not such an old plant. How long has it been in the ground? Your garden is beautiful, Japie. You should be justifiably proud of your accomplishments. Regards, |
Shirlene The B recurvata is a much faster growing one for me and it also has a smooth trunk. My stricta with the heavy duty hair gel, also has seriously sharp, saw-edged leave blades! My draco is in the ground for about 16 years now, but my soil is very bad. Very heavy clay. My plant flowered 9 years ago. About 12 years ago I planted a very young one for a friend down the road. She carted in loads of compost every year and her plant grew very lush without flowering. She has moved since and the new owners let the garden go without care and now experiencing very harsh conditions, the plant flowered 2 years ago and you can already see the splitting happening up top. |

Jun 7, 2011 1:36 AM by Bill Halter
David Martines of San Luis Obispo is getting some national and international attention for a discovery he made while looking at a Google map of Mars. Martines posted a video on YouTube of what looks like a structure on the surface of the red planet and the video has created quite a buzz on earth.
As of Monday night the video posted by Martines had gotten nearly 1.2 million hits. Martines says he noticed the white image which looks like a structure while zooming in and out of Google Mars, a feature offered by Google, similar to Google Earth.
"This is not a conspiracy, this is something that you can actually go to Google Mars and you can see this on their map" says Martines.
Martines calls the apparent structure, Biostation Alpha but planetary geologist Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona says not so fast. McEwen thinks Biostation Alpha is simply a glitch in the image caused by cosmic energy interfering with the camera.
McEwen says, "with space images that are taken outside our magnetosphere, such as those taken by orbiting telescopes, it's very common to see these cosmic ray hits."
Martines says he's not an astronomy expert and doesn't know what the image is but isn't sold on McEwen's explanation.
"He says that it's a glitch caused by the reflection of the sun, but even he doesn't know what camera took the picture and even he doesn't know where the raw data exists" says Martines.
Martines says he has sent emails to N.A.S.A. for an explanation but has not heard back from them. He says his email inbox has been flooded since he posted the video on May 28. Martines says he's been contacted by national news organizations like MSNBC and FOX.
Martines accidentally deleted his YouTube video but has reposted it: here's a link

55 Cranborne to Commonwealth Government
Cablegram 72 LONDON, 13 March 1945, 8.36 p.m.
My despatch 2 of 4th January, participation of Portugal in the war against Japan. [1]
1. As the Commonwealth Government will be aware, in the course of staff conversations at Lisbon the Portuguese requested that their military forces for operations against the Japanese might receive specialised training in Australia or elsewhere within reasonable distance of Timor, and stated that they wished to despatch ahead of the main body a training cadre which would eventually provide instructors for the remainder of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. The Combined Chiefs of Staff have not yet reached a final decision on this and other questions raised at the Lisbon Conference. They incline, however, to the view, mainly on the grounds of shipping stringency, that any action by the Allies in respect of assembly, shipment, training or equipping of the Portuguese force must be deferred until after the defeat of Germany.
2. The Portuguese Government have recently expressed to us their anxiety that early progress should be made with preparations for the re-occupation of Timor, and for preliminary training of Portuguese troops to be employed on this operation, and have stated that they themselves will be able to arm and equip these troops. In the circumstances, we should like to suggest to the Combined Chiefs of Staff that the Portuguese Government should now be invited to concentrate in Australia an Expeditionary Force of approximately 4,000 (the larger of the alternative forces offered by the Portuguese) and to despatch a training cadre of 100 officers and N.C.O.s in advance of the main body as proposed by them on the understanding that because of requirements of the German and Japanese war we shall be unable to provide ships or to give compensation in tonnage for the Portuguese shipping used.
Once the Portuguese force is in Australia, it is thought that shipping could be found to transport it to Timor when the need arises.
3. Before instructing our military representatives in Washington to put the above proposals to the Combined Chiefs of Staff, we should be grateful for confirmation that the Commonwealth Government would be prepared to accept training cadre, and, later, the main body of Portuguese Expeditionary Force, and to provide accommodation and training facilities for them in Australia.
4. It should be added that the Portuguese are very short of shipping and might on this account feel unable to take advantage of the proposed offer.

I know i know.. what happened to me, right?
I baked this just last week and the recipe is up today! Quite something eh? :P
The truth is, i didn't wanna forget the ingredients used for this tart which explains why the need to blog almost immediately. Yeah, i know i could probably pen them down in the scribble pad in the kitchen but aiyah, i just didn't feel like it. Lol!
This is an experimental tart. I've not quite dabbled into tart and pie making to be honest, what more, a savoury tart. If i'm not wrong, this is my first savoury tart! — another milestone, yay! (Galette not counted) Personally, the thought of tart/pie making intimidates me. The crust – rubbing in method for dough making, rolling, refrigerating and pressing in, it just sounds so tedious, tough and hellavu hardwork? Maybe it's just me? *shrugs*
But guess what?
I finally succumbed to making dough with food processor and now, pie / tart making is sure ALOT easier!! ;)
Spinach & Feta Tart
makes one 14″ x 4″ tart
142g organic baby spinach, washed and drained
1 whole yellow onion, sliced finely
160g – 180g single cream
pinches of black pepper
50g feta cheese
2 medium eggs
For flaky pastry dough
makes one 14″ x 4″ crust pie, with a little extra
260g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
170g unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 12 pieces
2 medium eggs, beaten
Method (by food processor)
1. To mix the dough in a food processor, combine the flour, salt and baking powder in the bowl fitted with metal blade. Pulse several times to mix.
2. Add in butter and pulse repeatedly at 1 second intervals until the butter is in small pieces.
3. Add in eggs and pulse just until the dough almost forms a ball ; pulsing too much at this point will incorporate the butter smoothly and cut down on flakiness.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and carefully remove the blade. Gently flatten the dough flat in one piece or two if you like into disc. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate until firm or as long as 3 days.
(crust dough recipe source : Bake by Nick Malgieri)
Method (for filling)
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Place the pan on medium heat and add in the onion. Stir occasionally, until the onion is wilted and just beginning to colour, about 5 minutes or so. Add the spinach to pan and season with black pepper. Set aside and move on the prepare the crust, which will take about 5 minutes or so. (press in the flaky dough to the tart pan or if you like, roll the dough and transfer into the tart pan. Personally, i do both, it speeds up the work)
3. Pour in the single cream and and mix well. Last but not least, whisk in the eggs one at a time. Scrape the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Dot the entire tart with feta cheese generously.
4. Bake the tart until the crust is well coloured and baked through and the filling is set, about 30-40 minutes.
5. Cool the tart on a rack and unmould it. Serve immediately with salad.
So how do i like this tart?
VERY MUCH. Pardon the caps, but i really enjoyed every single bite of it. Like, really.
I like it so much so that i baked it again last night for dinner!
See? Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=438222962866939&set=a.206077682748136.51416.204910616198176&type=1&theater
But last night, i sorta experimented some more with the tart. I added bacon, sauteed the onion in bacon fats and i substituted the exxy organic baby spinach from Cold Storage with cheapo Hydroponic Spinach 250g – Bayam from NTUC (i cut away the chunky stems). I must say, i can't quite tell the difference between the 2 spinach, taste wise. But of course, please just don't use the Chinese Spinach (phuey leng) alrighty?
10 Responses to "Spinach and Feta Tart"
I know I loves this tart very much by just looking at it. I will make this one day. But don't think I can get Feta Cheese here easily so I have to substitute with other cheese. What do you suggest? May I know where do you get this rectangular tart pan? In Spore?
I've been waiting for this post. Thank you thank you!
Great job I reckons! If you have a food processor it's the best tool for those pesky pastries. Forget rubbing with your fingers, use the machine! Then just add the wet ingredients until it comes together. I'm sure you already know this! Man I'd love a cooking session in the kitchen with you sometime. You sure do bake a fine tart!
Yum spinach and feta go so well together! The tart looks absolutely fabulous!
Mel : feel free to substitute the feta with shredded Gruyere or Cheddar, add in about 50-70g? And to the egg mixture, a pinch of salt please since the cheese mentioned will not be as salty as feta. Yup, i got the rectangular tart pan in Spore. :)
pickyin : my pleasure. ;)
john : damn right, i'm so using the machine from now on! and i would LOVE a cooking session in the kitchen with ya as well. you use the most exotic ingredients evaaaa!
Kelly : thank you! :)
i love the spinach and feta tart combination, and together with bacon, i sometimes add baby tomatoes on the vine too – they make everything more yummy :D i've also used goat's cheese instead of feta and that has been yummy too! love how rustic the first photo looks!
You've got all my favourite ingredients in your tart!
Janine : ideas!! I'm gonna try with tomatoes one of these days. i'm intrigued by the thought!
mycookinghut : HEE!
Loving the info on this web site, you have done outstanding job on the articles.
Awesome blog.Really looking forward to read more. Much obliged.

Set in Stone
July 11th, 2006
Sally Stone of Continuity in Architecture has followed up her recent letter about the redevelopment of Preston with an opinion piece for the Lancashire Evening Post. Her original letter deploring the City Council's proposals has obviously struck a chord locally as she has been invited to meetings with others worried by the published scheme. Her views are reinforced by the leading article in the same issue. Click on the images for readable versions of the opinion piece and leading article (click through to Flickr page and click 'All Sizes' above the Flickr image for larger versions). A supplement in the same issue showing aerial photographs of the city points to a possible general awakening of interest in the qualities of the place.

Riversider Says:
July 11th, 2006 at 4:15 pmThanks Sally for saying what so many people in Preston are thinking!
We review your excellent article at the Save The Ribble Blog
Will be posting a link to 'Continuity'as soon as we can get onto blogger.
Reigh Belisama Says:
July 11th, 2006 at 4:51 pmI wholeheartedly agree with Sally Stone's disquiet over the so-called regeneration of Preston - it appears to involve destroying all the unique assets Preston has. If we wanted to live in a bland city with no character, community, or green spaces, we only need to hang around another few years it seems, and it will be all around us: a soulless place from which all the character and heart will have been ripped.
Save Preston from "regeneration" if all it involves is losing everything we value most about living here - including our beautiful River and green belt which Preston City Council seem determined to turn over to housing and business developments and speedboats.

How solar desalination could help parched farms
Alice Daniel/KQED
This solar desalination plant uses curved mirrors to capture the sun's energy and separate the salt from the water.
When a drought gets bad enough, like this one in California, people start debating the pros and cons of desalination. When someone says "de-sal," you may think about the process of extracting salt from seawater.
The California Report's Alice Daniel tells us about a new kind of "de-sal" far from the ocean in Fresno.

Carole Coleman made headlines when she interviewed George Bush last year in the White House. Here was a reported who didn't want to hear the same regurgated speel again and again.
In this extract, she tells why, I wanted to slap him, and recalls the aftermath of her intereview with "the leader of the free world" too.
(Side note.. nowhere is Carole COleman quoted as saying "I Wanted to slap him", did the Times take creative license with the title of their lead story?)

Inga Muscio to guest teach in the kitchen
Two New Classes Start in January!
The first is a FIRST – very exciting -
The Literary Kitchen Presents an exclusive online class with Inga Muscio, author of Cunt: A Declaration of Independence, Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil, and Rose: Love in Violent Times
January 8th – March 3rd
A Study in Decerebralization
With Inga Muscio
Thinking is nice. I think we can all agree that thinking is an important part of writing. To write from your heart, however, a lot of the thinking business has to be set aside. How to achieve this when everything we have learned about writing involves thinking? This thinking business also eventually gives you false expectations that you and your writing can probably never live up to.
For everyone who can churn out reportage, no problemo, but struggles with just letting go and belting out some genius from your heart and soul, for everyone with a mean-spirited bitch of an inner editor, for everyone with a so many truckloads of memories that you constantly set aside until they gridlock the byways of your heart, our Study in Decerebralization if for you.
This class will involve a significant number of highly creative writing assignments, but there will also be a big focus on having delirious fun writing and on learning to view your "non-writing" time as a vital part of your creative process.
Most of the writing assignments will require pen and paper. Some of them you will have to mail in to me, Inga, with no editing allowed.
Class size is strictly limited, so please sign up early
$275 for the 8-week online class
An $80 deposit saves your spot. Balance due just before the class starts.

Hey All, We got our walnut island top in December and we already had some major scratches from our ceramic dishes most likely (which I've now sanded down the bottoms so they are smoother). To the best of my knowledge, my cab maker did 3 coats original and one satin but I think they buffed it out after- (not really sure) Anyway, maybe b/c it wasn't fully cured it seemed to scratch easy. Lately it hasn't scratched nearly as much. I spoke to Waterlox a few times. They told me spot fixing doesn't work well with the Satin finish. Today I followed their directions. (cleaned, "sanded" with 0000 steel wool, and then put on a coat of Satin. I started using a lambswool applicator but switched to a cotton cloth. I was very careful to view it at all angles and make sure surface wasn't bubbly and didn't have overlapping lines, etc... Now that's it has dried it is streaky. From many angles it looks good but we get a lot of light and you can see lines in it and it kind of looks dull or cloudy? When you look at light reflections in it there is inconsistency in the gloss level as well. The woman at WL said I shouldn't have used a rag- especially with the satin- and that I may not have used enough WL and possible "overworked" it. Anyway, I'll be doing this over but now have read many people online saying the Satin is much more difficult to work with due to the dulling agents in it that make it less shiny. I tried to take photos but they don't capture the problem. This thread just shows pics of my prior scratches. |

Streaking usually means you didn't get complete coverage - wiped it too thin and left bare spots. I do the "dunk and swab" method, dipping my wiping rag into a shallow container of the oil, then wiping it on in a circular pattern to fill the grain and scratches and get good copverage, finishing with a light-pressure long sweep with the grain to remove the excess. Check promptly with an oblique light source to make sure the surface is evenly wet after you apply a coat. If not, apply more and re-do the sweep. |

'Now What?': As France Leaves Mali, the West's New War Strategy Shows Peril
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
The French assault was a barely a week old when terrorists struck back elsewhere. Dozens of militants, reportedly including several Malians, seized a natural gas facility in Algeria along with hundreds of workers — all in retaliation for the French-led intervention, the hijackers claimed. Twenty-nine militants and 37 hostages, three of them Americans, died when Algerian troops retook the facility.
The backlash in Algeria could be symptomatic of a new era of war, in which swift, high-tech military operations leave instability, insurgency and terrorism in their wakes. The difference between this era and the previous decade of battle is that the U.S. and its allies are no longer prepared to indefinitely deploy tens of thousands of troops to maintain security.
In a foreboding sign that "liberated" Mali might descend into insurgency, on Sunday militants traveling in canoes infiltrated Gao, earlier the site of the suicide bombing, and launched three separate attacks on French and Malian troops. "These attacks were quickly brought under control by Malian armed forces," the French defense ministry announced.
Abou Walid Sahraoui, a militant spokesman, rejected that assessment. "The combat will continue until victory, thanks to God's protection," he told Agence-France Presse. "The mujahedeen are in the city of Gao and will remain there."
Now what, indeed.

More signs of cold on official sites {WoW}
Jun 23rd 2008 9:01PM Also on the main page of the offical WoW site, the Burning Crusade logo on the upper left corner is half blue and icy, like the Wrath logo. Not sure if that has been reported already and I am slow or not.
Breakfast Topic: Silly, unconventional, and amazing dungeon runs {WoW}
May 27th 2008 10:19AM My husband and I had just created a guild and a few of us needed to do the Deadmines. We were all level 15, and we were 4 hunters and a mage (that's me!). We tore that place up! Everyone was telling us it was impossible and we couldn't do it at that level, especially without a healer. Well, apparently we could. We didn't die once, and only lost a pet once. It that the most exciting and rememberable dungeon run I have every experienced.

Installing the latest version of firefox in Linux is always a pain in the a**. Its not the most difficult thing to do with linux. But still a very few people manage to do this. Here I'm going to explain How to do it.
Download the Firefox from Here.
Now extract it by right clicking or by using the command
sudo tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2
Now move it to the installation folder by issuing the command,
sudo mv firefox-3.6 /usr/lib/
Now Update all firefox Shortcuts in the System by creating a link in /usr/bin. For that type in the following command.
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
Thats it. Done. Now when you open firefox, the updated version will be opened.
PS: After issuing the first command the system may ask for administrator password., So type in the password. Or if you already are the administrator or logged in as root, just avoid the sudo from each command.

FeaturesIRS provides safe harbor guidance for personal use of Section 1031 investment homeRecognizing that many taxpayers who own properties primarily for rental income use them occasionally for personal purposes, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in February clarified safe harbor rules for personal use of properties that are held under IRC Section 1031 as for productive use or for investment.

The Cavendish Buffet Menu
Splinters provided the catering for our wedding on 15th December. The food was fantastic and many people have commented saying it was by far the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The staff were also fantastic and very helpfull. The only exception to this is the bar staff in the evening. All was well untill they stopped serving drinks at 11.15 for a midnight finish. They would not even serve the bride a soft drink (even though the bar had been stocked and paid for by the bride and groom) saying that they were collecting glasses in now, not giving them out. They were contracted to work untill 12.30 so really the clearing away should have been done after 12 and the bar should have been serving untill 11.45. People had taxis booked at midnight so 45 minutes of hanging around not being able to get a drink did put a bit of a dampner on the end of the evening. It's such a shame about this as up until this point I would have highly reccomended Splinters to everyone.

Horace Andy By Matt Scheiner Published June 11, 2007 Natty Dread A Weh She Want Trojan
Horace Andy's Natty Dread A Weh She Want is back for the first time on CD, fortified with eight 12" mix bonus tracks. The 1978 collection pairs Andy with the talented and original producer Tapper Zukie for a classic offering of roots, lovers rock and elevated anthems. "If I Wasn't A Man," with its recycled organ hook, and "Love Me Baby" are perfect examples of their work together. The rhythm section gets a hushed push to the background in the album's perfect production, adding just enough of Andy's soft, tapering voice to the mix. The bonus tracks follow the same production pattern as the original album but offer different versions— fleshed out, experimental tunes using alternative techniques on "Natty Dread A Weh She Want" and "This Must Be Hell." Trojan's library of previously unreleased material is unbeatable and Natty Dread A Weh She Want is certainly one of its most prized collections.
