Welcome to Part XV and soon to be, Semana Santa! Vamos! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Whoops forgot the link to our previous thread. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link To Part X1V of this thread.
Stef- we did the cross post again. Plllog too. It's like a mind meet. Meeting of the minds. Stef that Kitchen looks like it's full of hidden gems in those cupboards. Is this place close to you? You've got to go. The cabinet style is so nostalgic. I've never seen that in Canada. Plllog- So you still prefer the Bronze to the Stainless of those options, right? |
Yes, the estate sale is here in town. They haven't published the address because they are doing a pre-sale by appointment. It's an amazing mix of French and German porcelain, Mexican souvenirs from the 20's and nearly new resin teddy bear collectibles. Even a Niagara Falls Canada mug. Did you see that turquoise dish drainer? To get an appointment I'll have to target some items I'm interested in. That would be most of it (except the resin bears). |
Stef- Amazing. That German porcelain would be knockout I'm sure. Cameras, cars, any old German stuff is always a masterpiece of work and engineering. And that dish drainer! Love it. C'mon Stef, I hope no one beats you to it. I wonder what it's made of? Plllog- have you been cleaning and preparing in the Kitchen? You said 2 weeks right, until the big dinner? Or is the Kitchen not that ready yet for serious food prep. |
Steff, that's a great kitchen! I'd want to see it too. Solman, I don't think those mid-century knobs and pulls really go. Take a look in Discussions at Pinch_Me's kitchen. I'm pretty sure I saw la ganador especial del concuso de los grifos on her sink! So go check out my new thread in Discussions for the answer to your last (and thanks for the previous kind words)! |
The kitchen must be ready for serious cooking because plllog is out shopping for chicken and vegs for stock. Yum! |

Hey, guess what? I put my big enamelled cast iron grill/griddle, that theoretically shouldn't work on induction, across the paired elements and turned them on. I only turned them on to number 3 because I was scared of having a problem. The glass stayed cool because there's really no contact except at the edges, which are outside of the circles, but the pan got warm! I'm so tickled! My little barely has a lip single element sized Le Creuset grill/griddle doesn't work on the portable. (Haven't found it yet.) |
Discovering your new kitchen works even better than expected is priceless! I'm seriously looking into this combination idea before we get new counters. My KA gas cooktop takes forever to boil water and can't simmer either. |
That's cute Plllog and good news. So now you're a little Induction Scientist. America needs more of those, in my opinion. And see what you did! Now you've got our poor Stef thinking. Stef, it is great. I do remember how long it took to boil water. And really with gas, you're heating the room more than the pot. The stat is 40%, so 60% goes into the room. The health thing too. A friend of mine that's a Doctor in Europe just came back from Norway and now there is finally more intense scrutiny as to what the real health risks of gas cooking are. Since Plllog's tile tour went up, I've been debating a last minute switch to a 24 inch like her's to gain 6 inches of prep area . I know it's adequate. But my AEG transparent/white induction only comes in 30 inch. Would you agree that the Black induction really is not as nice above that White Wall Oven and on Yellow counter tiles? I was impressed by the new "Grey" is the German translation of this one. But it's not as discreet as the "transparentish" 30 inch glass one. |

Plllog- Just you wait before ringing those poor Chicken's necks will ya. I'm off to TO on a mad Property buying mission and bidding bonanza LOL! No, but will hit Noah's Health Food and bet your Kitchen ;) , I'll round up some Chicken Stock alternative. So there! In fact Plllog, have you thought about being a Chicken Tamer? A Chicken Petting Farm? Or neighborhood egg donator? |
Oh, I can make a vegetable stock! What I said was I couldn't make stock from a tofurkey!! But I'm going to make a chicken stock, and render the chicken fat and use it to make matzah balls. But I'm not going to wring the necks myself. There's better ways to kill chickens so I'll let the butchers do it. Re the induction, is that new one 2 areas of zoneless plus one large double ring of normal? Were you intending to put a lot of clutter on the counters? If not, I don't see that the six tiled inches would make that big a difference to you. You can put your veg, bowl, or whatever on the cooktop if it's off. They won't hurt it. I think the 30" with the 30" oven will look the best and be the most useful. If you think the 24" mixed up one will suit you better it'll be okay. |
Matzah Balls. Sounds delicious. BTW, when I was little, couple of years ago ;), my Dad and I used to buy all our meats from a Kosher meat shop in TO. I remember he always picked up Knishes? for me, round with ground beef inside I think. Ooops, shouldn't be talking meat should I? Yeah Plllog, that link above was an AEG with combo of "free" zone and "attached". Actually, after all this reno commotion I better NOT have any clutter on the counters. I'll have NO excuse with all these cupboards and drawers. My last Kitchen was... well you saw it. Clutter was the actual design. LOL! But OK, good comment on the look and combining with the oven so leaning back to the German translation "Transparent with White Decor" 30 incher. Hope you're all still proud of me for digging that other one out of my German hat. Somehow that mesh like finish tones the Black glass down a bit. I'm surprised no one else has picked up on the same AEG glass. They also might have a Patent. |
There are others that have their own versions of texture on the glass. Then there's Miele who pride themselves on how purely blackly black theirs is. Yes, I'm proud of you for doing all your due diligence. But do also choose what you think will function best for you, not just what's prettiest. For instance, do you get more power in the circle with the combo unit, than in one "free zone"? For your wok? What you get with kosher meat is humane treatment (as prescribe by ritual rather than necessarily current ideas, but the animal cannot suffer in death and still be kosher), and a lot of salt. I come from a mixed background (all Jewish, but mixed sub-cultures) and don't have knishes in my experience. I thought they were a kind of potato roll, but they're probably just the roll, and can be filled with whatever. Mel Brooks called them the "Jewish neutron bomb--kill all the people and leave the buildings standing." Matzah balls aren't particularly delicious either. My mother learned to make them after many bad years because my father's elders expected them. They're just dumplings. What makes them delicious is what they're cooked in. Cooked in chicken soup they're kind of bland. I still like 'em, though, especially cold (not a great texture cold--a little slimy--but taste good right out of the fridge). My friend makes a dish that uses short ribs and marrow bones, lots of vegetables and sugar--it's really a vegetable dish and the sugar makes like a glaze, and breaks down the off cuts of meat. She makes her matzah balls in the juice of that, and I bet they have a lot of flavor! Check discussions (something about appliances) for the chicken stock (poor dears). |
Just rolling in from TO and a quick peek-a-boo before my beddy bye. And still haven't done my Yoga Kriya :(... yet. Funny you said that about the induction ie. the power/zone. I was surprised that the Free Zone units were actually more powerful than their zoned siblings. On the 2 IKEA units I was after, the free zone had 4 x 3.2 KW. All equal. But the zoned unit, had 1.8, 2.4, 2.4, 3.2 something like that. So, seems like these free zoners are more powerful. It gets better... The transparent one is 4x 3.2 KW and.... my dream (next life) AEG concave WOK Induction is tadummmm 3.2 KW! Looks like 3.2 KW is the max power in current induction technology. So Plllog, can I can run 4 Woks at the same time! One meal for you, one for Stef, one for me, and one for Missy (poor her) I really hope she's not badly sick as it's been long since we heard. Yes you're right about the Knishes. They are Potato rolls but I remember they were sickly greasy and I always used to pat them with a paper towel to absorb the grease before eating. I hope I didn't eat too many of them :( Did you find the lost pan yet? Stef-hope you got an appointment for our German Porcelain and funky art deco BLUE! dish drainer. |

Hi Everyone, Happy Spring! (which is already here in the US Northeast thi week!) Solman, great to see your progress. I am still sticking my tongue out at you for not answering my offline email from back in February. Pllog, with the gorgeous, "can't wait to see the whole darn thing" kitchen, same to you on the offline emails. I've sent you two since the "tile tour." Haven't heard a thing back! (Loved the Appliances thread btw). Stef? How the heck are you? One day, I've just got to make it to Texas to check out your tortilla soup! Woo hoo! Have enjoyed seeing you on the threads over on the Discussions side and there's no wagging finger being pointed at you at all! LOL! How are things going with the sale of your house in Houston? Speaking of Houston . . . this here is over and out. :-) |
Marthavila, No No!! It's not my fault! I do as politicians do---pass the blame--- it's all Plllog's fault! (ask Stef) She's had me running around, grabbing stray Chickens all over LA, and coaxing me to wring their necks for her Chicken Stock. Not to mention the canals I helped dig in front of her rose bushes. Now she's got me on my hands and knees washing all this reno dust laden kitchen stuff because the Dishwasher is finicky or something. And after all this, she's still not giving me her Kitchen! Can you believe it? |
LOL at the chickens, that's become quite popular here. At least roosters aren't allowed in the city limits. Hi Marthavila, good to see you back again. Doing great, but it's literally freezing here tonight and tomorrow night. Thanks for the compliment on the Discussion stuff, I just say what I know or think and try to stay away from negative personal comments. We talked with a realtor and gave some friends a tour and both were quite positive. We'll probably list it soon, but will miss the deadline on the first time homebuyer credit. The estate presale is usually for dealers or serious collectors, so I'll try to wait until they open it up to the rest of us. |
DH has been reading about induction and is really getting on board with the idea. Must be that German engineering. We'll postpone the countertop until a decision is made. |
MV, I was waiting to have a functioning brain to answer your recent, and I don't know that I got another that went unanswered! I'm just sooo tired!!! Sol, that's pretty funny about the chickens. That "barn" looks like a charity auction $10K playhouse, not a chicken coop! Re the free-zone power, make sure that it translates into the same amount of heat. Because the freezone has all those little inductors it might be a lot less efficient a system. I don't know. Go research. Steff, good news on the state of the Houston house. Did you show your H my stock thing? |
The "stockarama" was very helpful in letting him see the induction in action. Seriously, the paper towel thing really got his attention. We get more than 60 days of triple digit temps in the summer so any way to keep heat out of the house is a plus. A few years back we went to HD Expo to see the induction and it was not impressive because the only model on display had a clunky stainless rim and was at least 1/2" thick. Really, we probably wouldn't have revisited the idea if you hadn't posted your process. We may invest in a portable unit as a test and go from there. I'm okay with postponing the counter tops as I've not really found the right solution. |
Oh, Steff! I'm so glad to help. Induction was still a "secret" when I found out about it on GW. I ordered a portable first just to see how it worked. I knew it wasn't nearly as powerful as the real thing, and kept it in mind, but I'd still rather use it than my old, probably Dacor, gas, which was way under powered. |
Yoo hoo Fashion... I mean Inductionistas. Yo! Just rolled in from TO (again) and discovered this gem for dinner. Verdict: I'm hooked! Do you think Amy will like it? http://www.freshrestaurants.ca/pdf/takeaway.pdf |
Here is a link that might be useful: Amy's Next Date
Stef-Great news on the Induction. Personally, I wouldn't bother with buying the portable. It's not like you're taking a risk. Induction is taking over Europe. It's just GREAT in every sense. I really love the clean visuals. Smooth, indiscreet, and no more unsightly, filthy cast iron grates. These comments all coming from a former die hard Gas man who has only ever cooked on Gas. And to it I say: "Hasta La Vista.... BABY!" |
That restaurant looks great. Good for you with emphasis on tasting good too. Just jumping in could be the way to go. If we do that then I would have to commit to a counter top. Progress in that area, too. Soapstone is back in the mix, thanks again to plllog. |
It was so delicious Stef. I had "The Beach Bowl" wonder why ;). I forgot to add, I had a shot before the meal. Not Rum or Tequila, but Wheatgrass! So, yes all my meals will now be at Fresh for Life. Funny thing I couldn't decide what to order because every option sounded amazing so I went by the name. Beach, ya I've been known to like that. Of course I wasn't on the stone market with the tile countertop but when I accidentally went into a shop that sold Soapstone, I couldn't believe the difference compared to Granite. It was so smooth and elegant and non porous. A no brainer if I ever choose one day. Stef, do you think you would get a 24 inch induction or the more conventional 30 inch? Actually, likely no 24's to be found for sale in North America. |
The 24" vs 30" and the idea of having both gas and electric available is a question to resolve. Ordering from Europe is probably not an option, but I'll look into it. I think I mentioned before that the first trip to look at soapstone was a big miss. Soapstone is something you either get or not. Now there's a place here with new options so we'll take another look. New inspiration from atticmag |
Ooooh!! Steff, that's gorgeous!!! The only soapstone I was interested was the dark green hard soapstone, which I couldn't find until I stumbled upon it. Love that Finland Green! |
The article doesn't identify the granite, but I think it might be Blue Louise. I'm comfortable with the existing laminate until we either find what we're looking for or know for sure it's not available. Going to look at Saratoga soapstone tomorrow. The article mentions a new soapstone treatment. I'll probably post on discussions to see if this is possible. Went looking for Missy yesterday and they are missing her on the other forum, too. Hope she feels better and is just busy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Saratoga Soapstone
Stef- it is nice and you really like Blue! Oh oh. I really love the unpainted Wood look Cabinets above. The candle holders are a brilliant touch. Shame on the faux finish walls. Can't wait to see what comes up on your Saratoga trip. And Congratulations America, you finally have health care! Free I hope? |
Plllog- What's with all the Gagg in your Kitchen? You really like the brand huh? Don't tell me you shipped an oven from Europe too. |
Marthavila- Ha. You can't stick your tongue out at me any more. |
I'm reading all the hooplah about Obama's Victory but my question is are all of you happy about the new reforms? But I'm confused. Does it mean that Americans can now get free Healthcare? |
Solman, it was a very very long bill. No one knows what it means, other than a first step toward some kind of national public interest health care. It's nothing like Canada's. Something a little like Germany's maybe. Mostly a first step along a contentious path. There are some features they've headlined, like that people will be required soon to have insurance so that poor folks don't crowd emergency rooms for basic health services. I think there's provision for how to make sure the poor are covered. This is a HUGE good thing because under the system to date, hospitals can't turn away the indigent without caring for them, so people go there for somethings a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner could treat, let alone an emergency services specialist M.D. Providing them access to family physicians and health care centers will relieve hospitals of a tremendous drain that has forced a lot of them to close their emergency departments. There are provisions like that insurance can't be refused to children because of pre-existing conditions, and no lifetime caps on coverage, and other regulations on cherry picking. As to the rest, who knows? There will be a lot of changes. I hope it'll become political suicide to shred it. We need something. We probably don't need this as stands, but getting a system into place that can be improved is better than going with nothing. Re Gaggenau, it's only the 24" induction that wasn't available here. The 36" identical unit with a duplicate of the right side on the left as well is available. Gagg just doesn't think enough Americans want smaller to pay for the UL listing. My mother has a Gaggenau oven. Before I knew anything else I wanted for the kitchen, I knew I wanted that oven. And I had been thinking about steam units of a much inferior sort before I saw the matching combi-steam oven. The reason for choosing to import the Gagg 24" rather than Miele or something, is the knob. I read about that in a manual for the 36" that also included the 24" and said, "That's for me!" I miss Missy, too! |
So Plllog, you like the Gagg's knob huh? Say did you know Neff also has the knob? And it's removable! Held in place magnetically. It was interesting but I'm not sure what advantage it has over touch slider controls. I'd love to hear a German Neff sales pitch as to why it's good. I just wish I understood German to get the drift off their site. Neff intrigued me because they were very high in the German Warentest Induction Cooktop Ratings. Germany has the world's oldest universal health care system. By the way, do you really see a difference between the German and Canadian Health Care System? I don't. Theirs is the same universal health care system. except dental, Orthopedic, and a couple of other things seem to be included. The hospitals in Germany are impeccable. I'm ashamed to admit they blow ours away. This observation comes from my several accompanied visits to both Doctor's offices and Hospitals. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Check Out The Neff Video!
Aha! I think I've got it. The only thing I can gather. Children. Little hands "could" activate touch controls but with the "Neff Nobb" you just lift it off and hide it away in the wall cupboard where the kids can't reach. OK. So what happens if Mommy forgot to hide the Nobb last night after cooking? Little Junior starts turning, pressing, and suddenly presto! he cracks the Induction combo. Further, even a Nobbless induction is no threat unless the kid turns it on and there's a pot on the zone. Also, what happens when the knob accidentally falls/rolls out of the wall cabinet where you hide it from Junior and the unthinkable, it falls right onto the ceramic cooktop. Ouch, I mean C R A C K'''. So Mr. Neff, your Nobb still hasn't won me over. Talk to me. |
Wait there's more! What if Junior finds the Nobb, is quite intrigued by the new high tech German "toy" and takes it to the park or something with his friends and well... loses it! Could happen. Bet those Nobbs ain't cheap... in Euros to boot. Mr. Neff. Seriously talk to ME. I'll buy if you can. Promise. |
Ok I'm all Nobbed out and time to go to bed. Good Neff. I mean Good Nobb. I mean Guten Nacht.))))) |
Yep. Magnet. Removable. Knob. Gaggenau. Works just like the Gaggenau, but not quite as pretty. What I like is that you can go from 9 through 0 to 1 instead of tap tapping through all the numbers, and it's easier in general to turn the knob. And it's just plain cool. Other things that sold me is the Gagg had all the features I wanted, and we have a good local repair service who said it would work okay, and whom I can call upon if it needs service. You don't put cabinets over the cooktop--you put a VENT HOOD!!! REMEMBER???? Not saying you have to have one. You asked why I did. It's like playing air hockey. As my why the starship Enterprise is on my credit card. (A: Because it's funny.) Loosen up!! |
No you're right Plllog. I think knobs in general are cool and preferred. Now they're retro! Suddenly so are buttons. Many a friend of mine do not like the iPhone touchscreen for texting and therefore would never buy one. Since I grew up with knobs, I too prefer them on my Stereo for the volume control especially. I also don't like touch rocker switches for camera zooms. A manual twisting lens is more tactile therefore faster and more effective. And maybe all the awards the Neff has won including "Favorite Cooktop" could have something to do with all of the above. Oh no Plllog, nobody makes a Clear transparentish induction with a knob. So now what do we do? Can't any company in the world make the absolute perfect product :( I'm back to Knobb one. |
Say, did I hear Air Hockey? You like it too? I'm amazed. I thought only boys do Air. I LOVE air hockey!! In the age of loud, "shooting" arcade games, this classic is quickly becoming extinct. Sad. Long live Air Hockey. Stef? Do you like it too? |
Do I like Air Hockey? Yes, but haven't played in a while. Do I like the Neff? Over other options? Plllog knows way more, I'm just getting into research. Knobs? On cooking equipment they are a problem to clean. Also a problem on the front of slide in ranges because they can be reached by little hands. The magnet knob looks cool. The new health care plan? If it solves the emergency room problem, that will be a plus. I remember the law that mandated people couldn't be turned away from emergency care was hailed as a good thing at the time, but the result was predictable. This plan may solve some problems, but will eventually lead to other problems such as lack of innovation and limited care. Free? There are going to be lots of tax increases, mostly on things that were not taxed before. More fines and mandates are always more expensive. Increasing costs and increasing debt is a tax as well. Our current public health plans are insolvent and the care is nothing to get excited about. From what we know, the plan has some winners in groups that get a break and losers in those who don't. We appear to be in the group of those who could lose a lot because our current plan works well for us and it will undoubtedly change. |
I'm really surprised by your first roast result Plllog. Considering you have the Steam Combi Oven ((( DROOL ))), I'm shocked that the food got dried with all the steam. Or was the browning the problem? Which reminds me, you need that DW fixed fast with all the cooking/dining coming up this weekend. Wow wow. Quite the A Team of Appliances you've got there Plllog. That fridge looks nice with the ledges and lights. Congrats. I guess that's why we call them Dream Kitchens. |
Huh? Solman, there was no problem with the combi-steam. It was the Advantium that dried out toasted bread toast. No roast. My company dishes don't go in the DW anyway, so no biggie. It's all the other dishes I have to wash before then that are the big deal. |
Oh. But that's good news. I thought this Gagg Combi was the culprit. So, you're pulling out the fine English Bone for the big Doo? I guess one doesn't put those in dishwashers. Even a Miele? But why not? Remember I've never had one, yet. Plllog, we can help with the dishes as long as I don't have to wear an apron. Men don't do aprons-well. P.S. Just waiting for the Canadian Dollar to hit parity any second now to order my mini Miele from America. You see we Canadians are part of Obama's Recovery Plan :) Last time we hit par with the US, late 2008, Canadians flooded America with Auto purchases. And suddenly the smarter car companies lowered their prices in line with USA. |
Nope! I'm pulling out the cheapass house brand Chinese porcelain. Unless there's clear glaze over the gold it can etch and discolour in dishwasher chemicals and heat. Thanks for the offer but I have help. You don't have to wash up. :) Do the Quebecois shop in the U.S. too? Just wondering... |
Still researching the induction and found Wolf modules. Yikes, looks like the clunky style we saw several years ago. This is the reason to order from Europe. Went to look at soapstone and fell in love with a granite instead. Not just any granite, but a crazy busy colorful rare granite with garnet gemstones and geode crystals. It looks like a rock shop. This is not happening.... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wolf Induction/Gas
Agreed Stef. Think Euro = style. Actually, Neff the Knobbers have beautiful inductions and modules should you decide to take that route. I'm really impressed with Neff as they are winning many German Design awards for their inductions and seem to be the favorite choice there. As German consumers are very practical by nature, that says a lot when they are buying large quantities of a product. I believe the modular route is more expensive than a full size cooktop. So any opinions after seeing all these Neff's etc. with the spin knobs, do you still think the AEG transparent looks any better, worse or same for the Yellow Mexican tiles. See Plllog, now you got be all Nobbed up. The Neff style seems to be raised up above the counter a touch with additional metal frame. AEG styling is more frameless without metal, and just bevelled glass edges. And you can get raised metal frame. Another pity is that we North Americans can't do touchy feely and see like the Germans can with all these inductions. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Steff's Dream Neff Modules!
Yes the Quebecois shop like crazy in the US. I think we all do. But you will get Canadians with this why support the Yanks when you should support your own country, chip on their shoulders. But I say, who cares it's all about stretching your personal disposable income. Forget the politics. Leave that to the bureaucrats in Ottawa and Washington. Right? For me, it's get a Bosch dishwasher bought in Canada or a Miele for the same price in America. |
Well, it's German any way you slice it. :) Steff, my gas is a Wolf module, and it's more delicate in appearance than the Gaggenau gas. More delicate in function, too, of course. :D The Miele modules are a bit dumb. Nice looking but not all that well designed for use. Solly, dear, will you please post your links to the English version so we can understand them? |
It seems most of the induction cooktops have at least some ss trim which looks like more work to clean than the smooth edge. Not a lot of change since I last looked at them three or so years ago and it may be that I wasn't as sold on the idea then as now. I'll need to go to a showroom for a better look. |
TKO time. Here's the granite link. The photo doesn't show close detail so just imagine the inside of a geode. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Starry Night
Wow! Steff I LOVE Bordeaux, the wine too :) Whoops, SA girl goes into mad cofusion. Just imagine your new Neff Induction on top of that baby. Stef, you've just burst my Yellow tile counter bubble :( |
Yooo Hooo Plllog! Can Solly pull you out of the kitchen for a moment? He likes the Neff Knobb Induction that's 250 Euros LESS than the transparentish AEG and it has a cool Knobb! And it is pretty nice. But, would it still look nice on Yellow tiles and above a White Wall Oven? Do you like it more or less than the AEG whitish one, aesthetically. What do you guys think of the actual design of raised glass upon metal framing vs just bevelled glass? Plllog do you like the assortment of zones and shapes? Neat huh? This one got 2 prizes: Universal design award 2009 und dem Universal design consumer favorite 2009 Concern: When WOK cooking, one would have to put WOK on the bottom right zone since it has the highest power 3.3 KW. Now that is .1 Kw more than the Max on the Aeg, but not sure how much diff. that makes in cooking. Would it bother you to WOK there instead of the bottom left zone? This question based on a right handed cook that holds the WOK handle with left hand and stirs with right. P.S. Solly suddenly warms up to "The Knobb" due to coolness factor and the Wow appeal for Amy, knowing full well that no one anywhere in sight of this house has a Knobb induction. It's like a steering wheel on a cooktop! You remember the "Think Different" campaign right? Judging by Neff's brisk sales in Germany, that campaign only applies to us in North America. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Solly and Stef's Neff Knobb-Maybe?
Hey guys, Check out the very first model at the top of this page. It won every possible German Induction award. Stef if you have 36 inches, it would be amazing. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Academy Award Winner
They really are amazing and love the modules. The guy turning the knob is hilarious. Thanks for putting the auto translator on. I might have already mentioned I'm not a fan of the stainless trim especially if there's a lot of it. When I first went to look at induction I was anticipating something that appeared as forward looking as the technology and it wasn't there. On where the wok sits, were you thinking you would have a something like a pot of rice cooking there under your left hand at the same time? The top is flush when not in use, they don't get hot and there are other spots you could use unless you have a lot dishes going at once. The more transparentish one would look better on the yellow counter, but $250 Euros is a big difference although getting to be less of one these days. Black glass cooktops seem pretty neutral. We sent the black oven back only to have the cooktop question pop up. |
Just found out that they are having problem reaching my 15 year old Super Yellow, and the first trial batch was awash. Good news. What amazing people they really are. To take the care and time to make it right. They could have just thrown them in the box and shipped by Fed Ex on my wallet and they still make the same money. That's service, 5,000 miles away. Viva Mexico! |
Gulp! Stef you still like the AEG transparentish better. OK. Thanks for the vote. Is Plllog still in the Kitchen, or at Whole Foods picking up groceries for the Big Meal? Maybe we need a pager for her. Oh that's Passe. Now we have text messaging. Or we can send her a Tweet on Twitter. |
That is awesome service. Such pride in the quality of the work is common there, but getting rarer everywhere else. The Euro dropped again today. Should help some unless they raise the price to compensate. We are beginning to think of a European trip again. Need to finish the Grand Tour. |
Stef-I just saw that on the Euro. Thank God. Yes, I'm thinking German trip to pick up the Induction in person now. Why not right? Yes. Just talked to another person today who was touched by how nice Mexicans really are. |
Gelson's. Ordered a 22 lb. free range turkey. Got a brisket for Monday, and a shankbone. And the most adorable little potatoes. They're the size of pearl onions. I got both yellow and purple. And baby golden beets, baby turnips, actual pearl onions, and mardi gras raddishes. Baby carrots, hearts of romaaine, parsley, heirloom cherry tomatoes, scallions, apple, orange, etc. But Trader Joe's nuts and dried fruit are so much better than anyone else's that I decided to make a separate trip. I also got a bottle of Baron Herzog Merlot, and white and purple grape juice for next week. That was after I hit the Bloomie's sale, after I got my hair done, after I had my p.t. appt. after I caught up with my paperwork. No kitchen work at all today. Steff, the granite is gorgeous! That could have won me over from tile too. :) Okay, I give up. I was trying to find the stats for your white one can couldn't find them. Yes, the whitish looks better. Yes, you want more power for the wok. I think the Gagg wok is 3500W. The Neff only has near that much on boost, which might not be long enough for the wok, so it would be important to find out if you can boost in series. My only concern about the black, really, is having talked you out of the white fridge. Three different appliance colors in one smallish kitchen is a bit much. The "don't sell it" was under the assumption that the cooktop would be white. If it doesn't bother you, however, it doesn't matter. This isn't for the pictures, it's for living in. And a free standing fridge is easily replaced at any time in the future. I really do think that function trumps aesthetics on the cooktop. OH NO!! Solly's in tile color hell!!! As you said, at least they dind't ship it. Yes, I'm thinking German trip to pick up the Induction in person now. Why not right? Well...because then you'd have the 250€ to spend on the other cooktop, silly!!! |
Sounds like a great shopping trip and a great menu. Love the purple potatoes and will have to look for the tiny ones. Here in SA we're preparing for the annual influx of Mexican shoppers. Expecting even more shoppers this year because it's getting more dangerous to be out and about anywhere in Mexico. I posted the granite in discussions and got lots of good feedback including the real name so I can compare pricing. |
Well...because then you'd have the 250€ to spend on the other cooktop, silly!!! LOL! The Coach always thinks with good reason. Germany trip cancelled. Thank goodness for Fed Ex. Player goes back onto field chasing the Whitish AEG ball. Plllog, holy grocerama! That's a lot of stuff- nice stuff. Looks like you're really buzzing now. The Busy Bee. Stef-sorry about the rain on your party. It never occurred to me but makes sense that shiny Granite is prone to scratches. Did I hear tile countertop? :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stats For The White One
Now you are a mind reader too. Tile has been added to the list for a number of reasons. The cooktop decision can be made at any time because fill ins and repairs are possible. Tile can easily tie in all the colors and style I envision. It's traditional around here and there are amazing examples everywhere. The rain on the party is why so many of us spend time on this forum. I really appreciate someone taking time to share a real reason to proceed cautiously. It's info I could not find anywhere else. Not all granite scratches that easily so it's not a given. |
Looking at the stats, I think the AEG is better. The sliders look as functional as the knob. Not as cool, maybe, but better than tap tapping. Should be fine. And it, like most, does have parental lockout, so you don't need to worry when little ones come over. There's really very little power difference between the top powered Neff element and any one of the AEG's. AEG also boosts over 3KW. The only thing I don't know enough about is how the power concentrates with the "free zone". Do you get all that power in your pot? Or only with a big pot? That's the final question to ask, because the wok has such a small contact area. Go, Steff!! Join us in the tile militia and help us take back the kitchens!!!! |
The tile militia? Sure, for whatever reason tile has always caught my attention. Could be the broken tile floors at the Mercado or the amazing patterned early 20th century concrete tile paving in the parking garage downtown. We'll be out this weekend for our annual wildflower peeping and junque shoppe browsing trip. See you next week. |

Dear Stef, Congratulations on your enlistment to The Tile Militia Academy. Successful training will enable you to soon join the force and "help take back the kitchens of America," lost in a Granite world. |

Hi Steff, My advice on the Starry Night is to follow Honeysucklevine's suggestion to post your questions to the Stoneadvice Forum. I've relied on that forum's advice to several stone questions in the past and have found those folk to be pretty reliable. The stone is gorgeous, btw! Solman and Pllog -- after taking you guys to task for not answering my emails, I've got a big mea culpa brewing here for not being so good at responding myself! Very sorry. Will try to get to you sometime in the next few days (after I finish my taxes, as well as those of my mom and uncle as well. Whew!). And, Pllog? Just in case I end up matching your offline response time :-), may your Passover week be most blessed, celebratory and scrumptious! |
Thanks, MV!! |
Plllog, are you in that Kitchen steaming, chopping, mixing, and mashing? I know Passover officially begins next Tuesday but do you actually start celebrating this weekend? The big dinner. If so, best wishes for a nice Passover, in your nice Kitchen, with all your nice cooking. Hope you didn't forget HOW, after being kitchenless for so long :) |
Monday night! First Seder is tomorrow night!!!!!! No mashing. Had to run around to find matzah meal because my box (sealed) had moths. Have to go make the matzah balls, and do some chopping, but have to work up some energy first.... Thanks for the good wishes! Tomorrow is small at my house. The mobs come Saturday. |
Plllog I hope Part 1, went smoothly. The question is, do you think you're ready for the mobs! How do you feel in your new cockpit? Are all systems go? I'm presuming the DW parts came in time and that thing is a splishin and a splashin. Does one go to visit many different houses during this Passover week? Sounds like fun. |
Hey Stef, Who needs Florida and Arizona when you have Canada! This weekends temps are forecasted at 22C and SUN! YIPEEE!!!! The birds will be singing, the squirrels playing, the fishees mating, dooo da doo dooo. Attention All Canadian Snowbirds i95 should be packed this Friday. |
Thanks, MV. I'm definitely glad to have found the stone forum and will check it out. Thought we were almost done, now it seems we have more decisions. Simple update? No such thing apparently. Great weather, Solman, I can attest that the snowbirds are well on their way home. There are fewer species canandiense on the road here these days. Must be getting to hot for them. |
Yikes, I was really distracted when posting the above. Canadienses is the correct word. And then there's the wrong use of "to/too." plllog, hope things went well last night and the big event on Saturday is a hit. |
LOL! Stef. I was wondering maybe inside joke. BTW, was thinking about you to day and your Kitchen counter. I saw a breathtaking broken tile "Ocean Waves" mosaic. I was strongly contemplating but thought no, not thistime. But it was a beauty. Actually Plllog, your's is along mosaic lines. BTW, Stef and I can give you a hand when the mob come. Yeah, instead of solman I can be doorman or doorboy or boytoy. Oh boy :) |
:::sniff::: It's supposed to be cold tomorrow and it's going to RAIN. It was 80 on Sunday. It was so so SO nice!! I'm whipped. Still a lot of cleaning up to do before the next round. My excuse? It's chag, so cleaning is actually forbidden. :) No DW parts yet, but they made an appointment for next week. The fancy dishes don't go in the DW anyway. The visiting depends on one's social circle. Yes, there tends to be a lot, but it all depends on how much one wants to do. I'm resting today instead of going to another Seder, but I'm going to a friend for a Pesach meal later in the week. Some people just abandon the whole thing and go away. Another friend is doing that--going on vacation with her kids to a hotel that does kosher for Passover for the whole week. Steff, how were the flowers?? This message wouldn't load earlier, so in the meantime I posted about the Seder in Discussions. |
Solman? |
The "Mob" has arrived. Your street is suddenly lined with shiny metal. People filing in, dressed in their finest festive garb. You poor soul. You weren't up at 5 A.M. or other such foolishness were you? BTW. enjoyed the link to your Dining room. LOVE the chairs, upholstery! Had the Plllog color signature indeed. And the nice Vessel. Italian? Anyways, I really wish you a wonderful Passover day of wining and dining and laughter! You will have the lens zooming for us won't you? |
No, no, the mob is tomorrow. Monday was the few. Thanks for noticing the chairs! I love them. I expected plain aubergine ultrasuede, but these birds were just too perfect. The bowl is Polish. Passover is 7-8 days. How's the kitchen coming? |
Kitchen. Oh yeah. Last week I fired the Carpenter. He had only bothered showing up 3 times since X-Mas with various excuses. Also, he ruined half of all the Kitchen trim!!! First he was given approval of a color which I signed off on. Then he showed up with stained pieces of my trim with a color I had never seen! On top of that I questioned why it was all blotchy? Upon research I discovered: 1. The bare wood did not have a Varsol wiping to take off any remnants of the Stripper. If any stripper residue is still on the wood, then any applied stain will not adhere evenly. Logical. 2. The wood was not conditioned. This is from Staining 101 clearly outlined in any Minwax brochure and surely a "Pro" should know. The Minwax Home Depot sample boards clearly show a piece with conditioner (even) and a piece without (blotchy). And YES half of all the trim was done like this and with a color I hadn't seen. So basically I was now in a position of poorly stained trim which now needs to be stripped back to bare wood-AGAIN. And at my expense!! He never offered to strip it and correct. Good lessons learned from my Kitchen Reno. 1. NEVER hire someone who works by the hour. They have no vested interest in your FINISHED project since they are getting daily pay. 2. NEVER hire tradespeople that already have a full time employer and are doing this on the "side", like Carpenter was. Again he only cares about his main job. 3. Never hire a tradesman without a written contract which: 1. Clearly outlines all of the jobs to be performed. Tiles- Did not hear back from Mexico. I assume difficulty. On a MUCH more positive note. I've been engrossed this week in the biz. After working on winning a new customer since last June, it finally happened! I got it!! BIG. National Distribution. In fact the first order yesterday actually cleaned out ALL the inventory in the Whse. YIKES! So now the mad dash to produce more, in time. I guess that's a good problem to have :) So this truly is a Good Friday! P.S. Plllog, I'm dying to hear about your induction experience so far. Say, why don't you get a thread going on it! We need to take the kitchens of America to The New World. Stef- Where are you?? I'm curious to know what goes in S.A. this weekend because it's Semana Santa in Mexico. BTW have you been to Antigua? I consider it one of the 10 most spectacular events witnessed in my lifetime. People from all over Latin and South American descend upon the streets for this majestic spectacle. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Semana Santa Antigua
Oh, Solman!! I'm so sorry about Carpenter! What a shame to have him go sour like that. Nothing to report on the induction. Put pot on stove. Cook. Turn off. The timer even seems to work with the different frequency. Good enough to remind one to check the onions anyway. You should know, I'm really really picky. Most of my choices are based on what didn't annoy me, or annoyed me the least. Oh. The knob. In the demo, it just went round and round. The "improved" it by making one select the element for each adjustment. It also kind of resists going past 0 (9 directly to 1), which is part of what sold me on the unit. Another improvement. You have to tell it, yes, really, more or less. No biggie. Doesn't make it any worse than anything else. Just limits what was particularly special. |
"You should know, I'm really really picky. Most of my choices are based on what didn't annoy me, or annoyed me the least." ROTL!!! Plllog that was just so poetic that it's going right into your folder of Classics. Picky huh. Well you're looking at the Co-Author of that novel right here. Or maybe you're the USA Chapter and I'm the Canadian chapter. Shame about the knob kinetics. Usually German design is well executed. But considering that you're not an Appliance Engineer, and you can easily see a limitation and room for improvement, I understand your frustration. Not just the knob but the many other things we encounter daily. The reverse of that is that shortcomings lead to opportunity. And opportunities, if properly executed, can be rather lucrative. Think iPhone. |
LOL!! No, Solman, the problems with the knob are only when they changed it to be more like other units. To un-annoy other people. I liked the old one. Nothing wrong with the new one. It just lacks a couple things I really liked about the old one. Tempus fugit. |
Solman, that really is too bad about The Carpenter. There are some things he did well for you, but sometimes you just know you have to move on. Wow, great new business there. Having to make more fast is a very good thing in this economic climate. The wildflowers had only started to bloom last weekend so we didn't get any pictures. Then we saw they were perfect in our own backyard. These were taken in the field across the creek behind the house. This is a rare glimpse of the old ranch country. Barbed wire is no longer allowed in the city limits. A close up of our state flower with the surprising red eyes Our beautiful live oaks that keep their leaves all year Had lunch with a friend today. Veal stew for Sunday dinner this weekend. Just set out starter for the Sesame Semolina Bread. Great weather, it's all good. |
Those Texas bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow They make all the meadows as blue as the skies Reminding me of my little darlin's blue eyes. Have a great weekend, Steff! And post the Sesame Semolina Bread recipe sometime if you feel like it. :) |
Thanks Stef, Splendid Spring flowers. Your lot and surroundings are really nice. Plllog- NO peeking. You should be in that kitchen a mixin and a matchin. It's T minus 24 and counting... until THEY come. |

It would be great to win the $1 Million dollars and $5,000 for life. I would give to the Church, I go to, so they could build the Church we don't have. The people are worshiping in a Bread Store. We have helped the poor people and some of the money would help them. Plus I would be able to repair my house before it falls of the hill that it is on. Plus pay off my Car and Loan I have in debt for. Plus put some money in Mutual Funds for my Grand Children so they can get a better Education and a good Job. And to help my daughter and my son with their debts. But all of this is a dream that will never come about. I have watched, and played and purchased prizes and to me it would be a miracle if you granted me this money. But I thank God for being in my life to satisfy me in living. Good Luck to that winner.

In August 1985, nearly 20 WMU faculty from across the curriculum met to discuss their common interests in studying and teaching ethics. After three days of sharing ideas, the faculty agreed to form the Center for the Study of Ethics in Society.
Originally sponsored by the WMU's Graduate College, the Center is now housed in the College of Arts and Sciences. The Center's co-directors are Michael Pritchard (Philosophy) and Sandra L. Borden (School of Communication). Shirley Bach (Philosophy, Emerita) is associate director, and Joseph Ellin (Philosophy, Emeritus) is publications editor. The Executive Committee has members from across the curriculum: Business, Chemistry, Communication, Education, Engineering, English, Philosophy, Physics, Race and Ethnic Relations, Social Work, and Sociology.
Over the years, the Center has worked closely with the medical community in sponsoring programs in biomedical ethics. It has also sponsored study groups on topics of general interest. Other focus areas include research ethics, communication ethics and engineering ethics.
The Center is the new home for Teaching Ethics, the official journal for the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum. Michael Pritchard (WMU) and Elaine Englehardt (Utah Valley University) are co-editors. Sandra L. Borden (WMU) is associate editor. David Charlton (WMU) is copy editor.
Each academic year, the Center sponsors 15-20 public presentations addressing a wide range of ethical issues. It also publishes a few of these presentations in its "in-house" publication series each year.
Although the Center has no academic courses of its own, it serves as a resource for faculty and students. From time to time, the Center offers workshops on teaching ethics for faculty, and faculty are invited to encourage their students to attend the Center's public presentations.

What visioning will do for Fayette County
Engaging a community in a visioning process is one of the guiding principles of master planning. As a very active participant and business leader in the community, Piedmont Fayette Hospital looks forward to being a part of the Fayette Visioning Initiative that will serve to help us further define our future.
Why is participation in this process important to Piedmont Fayette? Twenty-five years ago a group of Fayette County citizens created the Fayette '93 visioning plan, which provided a roadmap for Fayette County's high quality of life, work and play community that many of us enjoy today.
The Fayette '93 plan also identified a need for a hospital in Fayette and today that vision is very much a reality with Piedmont as the leading healthcare provider in the community.
As we look to our future and the diverse needs of our community, the Fayette Visioning Initiative will help Piedmont better understand and respond to the health needs of the community.
The process is also an important tool for discovering common values and developing a shared sense of purpose and how we shape our future together.
I was raised in Fayette, and after college I spent the early part of my career with Piedmont in Atlanta. But when it came time to raise our family, my wife, Amy, and I returned to Fayette.
The same quality of life standards, education and healthcare system that drew me back to Fayette are the same standards that we can preserve — and see flourish — through our planning process.
The visioning initiative provides a foundation for honest and creative interaction. Together, with our community leaders, residents and businesses we will ensure our community's future meets our collective vision. We will also develop a picture of what will be accomplished when the strategies developed are implemented.
Whether you live or work in Fayette, or just visit for recreation, we all represent a puzzle piece of our community's future. The process by which we plan our future shows how all of the pieces fit together. Like the picture on a jigsaw puzzle box, it is easier to assemble the puzzle when you can see the box cover.
There is a survey that will be available until Dec. 31, 2013 that is meant to garner input from the community to help build a more relevant and successful vision for the future. I'd like to invite you to participate in the survey which can be found at www.FayetteVision.org.
Please take the time and submit your responses in support of this initiative and your representative place in the community. If you would like to engage further, the website can connect you to the various activities that will take place over the next six months.
Piedmont Fayette is proud to have served our community for 16 years and we are excited to be a part of this collaborative journey.
[J. Michael Burnett is chief operating officer of Piedmont Fayette Hospital and a Fayette Visioning Initiative Steering Committee member. He also is the chair-elect of the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce.]

Just like you, my family moved here in 2003 because Fayette County is a great place to raise a family.
And I certainly concur that taking part in the survey is important to be heard. After taking this survey a few weeks ago, I think the survey shortchanged Piedmont Fayette Hospital.
I also agree that Piedmont controls the market in Fayette, Henry, and Coweta counties, however we need more specialists local to the south side without having to travel to Atlanta or further. For instance, a simple pediatric tonsillectomy utilizing a Piedmont doctor has to be done in an outpatient facility in Atlanta. The Piedmont pediatric endocrinologist who used to have hours in PTC closed his office here and only sees patients in Atlanta. While FC has many fine general pediatricians, pediatric specialists are rare in FC and the surrounding counties, though Piedmont Newnan seems to be gaining more due to the new hospital and other medical complexes popping up down there.
Piedmont Healthcare made a wise decision when they promoted you to succeed Mr. Cutts. No one was more deserving than you. With that said, I'd like you to study the results of the survey because the community needs you to lobby Piedmont Healthcare to bring pediatric specialists and more to FC before our projected growth, because if we don't, we are bound to lose out in the long run.
Please push the vision leaders to identify all medical related needs of the community so that we can lure quality people to our county and not react after the fact.

In: Business
23 Feb 2013You have probably heard of the saying, "Know thyself." But if you are a business owner, it is important for you to be familiar with a different twist on this phrase. For you, it is crucial to 'know thy customer.' This is because unless you know your customers very well, you may be leaving money on the table because you are not offering them what they desire.
Lots of people in business make this error. They are not tuned into exactly what it is that their prospects are wanting and needing. And so they attempt to sell them things that there is no market for. The sad thing is that they do not realize why no one is buying from them.
Happily, you do not have to make these blunders. All you have to do is put yourself in the place of your client and then ask yourself some questions. One question you could ask is, "What is your most pressing frustration?" When you have the answer, you are in a prime place to offer real help to your prospects.
The goal is to help people eliminate their problems. Once you learn how to do this for the people in your particular niche, you will have no trouble finding buyers for whatever you are selling, whether it is a product or whether it is a service. Your question right now is probably, "Great, but how do I do this?" It is not difficult: just ask them.
All you have to do is hold a survey for your prospects. Ask pertinent questions and then study the results that you get until you have a firm grasp of what the problems and pains are of the people to whom you want to sell. At this point, you can create the products that they will buy.
When you do this, you both win. You get the benefit not only of helping others, but also of increasing your income. Your clients get solutions. It is a perfect situation.

This is a rental vacation home in Corolla in the subdivision of Ocean Sands Section 'D' on the outer banks OBX of North Carolina. The home is located on open space with southern exposure, approximately 110 yards from the beach access or 130 yards from the beach itself. It rents from Sunday to Sunday.

We had a fabulous time in Corolla. The house was wonderful and very spacious. It was a short walk to the beach and very convenient to shopping. I will come back and stay at the Kelly's beach house again.
Visit the Corolla Light House and enjoy the spectacular views of the barrier island. Just a few miles to the North, is the Corolla Light House and the Historic Hunting Lodge of the Whalehead Club where you can listen to concerts on the lawn or crab off the canal. A new nature museum is opening this Spring. Ride your SUV on the undeveloped beaches to the north or book a 4-wheel excursion to see the wild horses and Kayak on the sound. Wind surfing, parasailing and jet ski rentals are available as well as pubs and music. Right before the light house is a movie theater, shopping, putt putt, go carts and restaurants. A hour or two South is the North Carolina Aquarium, the Elizabethen Gardens, the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Jockey's Ridge dune, Oregon inlet and the Wright Brother's Memorial.

Development, Test and Build/Release need clean environments for deployment. For complex multi-tier applications this is not a trivial task, especially when implementing agile processes like continuous integration.
Virtual Machines allow you to configure your target environments but it still takes time and effort for setup and provisioning when you are doing potentially many builds a day and deploying for multiple purposes including development, QA testing, UAT, etc. This is where lab management comes in.
I recently returned from a client engagement where their data center has a heavy investment in VMware and they have added VMware vCenter Lab Manager. We were quickly able to provision multiple target environments for our build destinations. The nature of their products requires a significant amount of hands-on testing so reducing setup and tear down time makes a big difference.
Lab Manager provides a lot that can be leveraged including capturing and reproducing software defects. There is out of the box integration with Borland Silk Central Test Manager and HP Quality Center but I haven't found any posts about integrating with MSBuild. Checking out the documentation SOAP API Guide, it all looks straight forward with several C# examples.
With VSTS 2010 we'll be getting all the cool lab management goodness built into Team System, all nicely integrated. Lab Management is built on top of System Center Virtual Machine Manager, and thanks to SCVMM managing VMs on multiple hypervisors, Lab Management supports both Hyper-V and VMware ESX out of the box.
Build automation will be able to automate complex virtual machine provisioning, build deployment, and build verification; dramatically speeding up the Develop – Build – Deploy – Test cycle. The deep integration will allow testers to file "rich bug reports" with links to environment checkpoints. With one button click, developers will be able to launch a virtual environment that exactly matches the one that the bug was found in.
Check out these links for more detail on lab management.

Welcome to Trinity Week 2014
"True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The Faculty of Health Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, is delighted to host this year's programme of events for Trinity Week on the theme of The Science of Happiness, which is open to public participation.
Trinity Week begins on Monday 7th April with the announcement of the Honorary Fellows, new Fellows and Scholars of the College. The ceremony is one of the oldest, most colourful and traditional at Trinity College. The announcement is made by the Provost on the steps of the Public Theatre in Front Square surrounded by members of the Board of the College in full academic gowns and hoods with students and staff celebrating the occasion with colleagues, friends and families. Members of the public are welcome to watch the event.
This is followed by a week-long series of events including symposia, lectures and talks on the science behind happiness, its influence on mental health and on creating balance. There are also guided walks, Tai Chi in Front Square, relaxation classes, musical performances and short films.
Among the highlights is the Trinity Week Academic Symposium on Wednesday 9th April titled "The Science of Happiness" with talks on happiness, mindfulness, mental health, creating balance and the importance of the smile.
The keynote speaker for Trinity Week, on April 10th, will be Professor Nancy Etcoff, Director of the Program in Aesthetics and Well-Being at the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry, whose talk 'Let us smile each chance we get' will discuss emerging research that shows that feeling happy is good for you both physically and mentally. Her 2004 'TED Talk' on Happiness has been viewed by over 855,000 people!
Also on Thursday April 10th, Trinity Week's mini symposium will focus on the keys to Happy and Healthy Ageing featuring talks by members of Trinity EngAGE and will also include renowned author and Professor of Psychology, Ian Robertson.
We hope you will visit the College during Trinity Week and take part in some of the wonderful events which will showcase what goes on in the Faculty of Health Sciences and which may even help you to feel a little bit happier!
Many of these events are of interest to the public, and you will find a full listing of events in this brochure and on our website www.tcd.ie/trinityweek

Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences

This morning the first supposed image of a Kinect 2 development kit appeared online. But just what does a 'next-gen' motion sensor entail?
Using the infamous leaked Xbox 720 design docs - confirmed real by a CVG development source - we've deducted five features and improvements you can expect from Kinect 2 - and why it could drastically revolutionise what you define as 'motion gaming.
Basically, no more waggle...
*Disclaimer: The information hereinbelow is taken from an Xbox 720 design document written in 2010. Some of the details will have been revised, perhaps extensively. For more information on the reliability of the data, go here
Two sensors
Microsoft's next-gen plans look to outright double-up on the system's capabilities by the time the next generation Xbox arrives in 2013.
At the centre of Microsoft's Kinect Version 2 plan is what the leaked 2010 document calls "stereo sensors, i.e. two cameras/microphones". The console set-up uses two separate cameras, placed either side of the TV which is said will offer "full-body hi precision" motion control for many players. The tag line in the document is "closer, wider, deeper".

Anybody know what these are? A friend of mine has them all over his apple tree. I'm baffled. They appear to be some sort of worm encased inside of a cocoon made from the material it has mined from the tree. They are attached with webbing, and form a spiral that can be stretched straight. Hope that makes sense. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am not familiar with this. Send your question to Cornell tree fruit disease expert, Dr. Dave Rosenberger. Email: email@example.com |
- Posted by mikebotann 8a SE of Seattle (email@example.com) on Fri, Jan 31, 14 at 17:29
I think it's a form of scale. A dormant spray should take care of it. Post your picture in the Orchards Forum and you should get a correct answer right away. mike |
Scale. Start by mechanically rubbing it off --if the tree is reasonable size. If it has that many scale over entire tree, consider replacing it as it has been severely weakened. |
- Posted by naturewest (My Page) on Sat, Feb 1, 14 at 8:27
Jean, what scale are you suspecting? I've seen and dealt with lots of scale, this is different. It's hard to tell in the pic but it appears that the critter lives inside of a tube made from the frass produced by burrowing into the stem. This cocoon forms a spiral,which makes it look like a snail at first glance. They can be pulled out of the spiral to over a half inch long. I wish I had a picture showing that but I left the branch to prevent spread. I suppose I could make another visit, but I was hoping someone could identify it easily. Mike and Nandina, thanks for the suggestions, I will take your advice. |
My guess is a twig gall. Some are induced by bacteria, but if you have found some sort of larvae in these, I'd say they were insect caused. Which one, I don't know and you should find out. . |
- Posted by naturewest (My Page) on Sun, Feb 2, 14 at 8:44
As advised, I sent an email to the folks at Cornell and posted in the orchard forum. This is the reply I received: "From your posted image and description it does not appear to be scale as had been suggested by previous responders. Without an intact sample I would not be able to identify the insect. I too have never seen this structure within the pest complex on apple grown in the northeast. It appears from your description that the structure is a hibernaculum composed of fine frass and the larva within the spiral case with webbing attaching the case to twigs is likely to be associated with the lepidopteran complex. If larva are within the casing, it seems like a somewhat vulnerable location on the tree and easy prey for other hosts? Are the apple trees from which these images were take near a forest or other diverse ecology? You could send a sample to the Insect Diagnostic Laboratory, attention of Jason J. Dombroskie, Cornell University, Dept. of Entomology," So there you go. I will need to revisit my friend and get a specimen to put in the mail. Unless someone figures it out beforehand. I was hoping this would be much easier! |
I'm fairly sure it's a twig gall. I think the Cornell people will agree with Calliope once they get a sample. The picture and some of the description does not match scale. |
I agree it looks like a gall similar to what I have seen growing on oak trees in the woods on the leaves and stems |
It appears that your question and pictures sent to Cornell attracted someone's attention. Over my years of dealing with them I have never seen such a quick response. Hopefully your friend will save you a trip and quickly send a sample package to the address given for the Entomology Dept. And, will further track and photograph the 'whatever it is' during the spring months and document any damage to the tree. It is the respondent's statement. "I too have never seen this structure within the pest complex on apple grown in the northeast" Please keep us updated. |
- Posted by naturewest (My Page) on Sun, Feb 2, 14 at 22:46
Yay! Mystery solved. Kudos to the brains at Cornell: ' The photos appear to be of snailcase bagworm, Apterona helix. A European native, at least in NY it is in the Capital District (I have seen it in one area east of Albany on white pine but there are reports elsewhere). I have also seen it in one nursery here on Long Island. So far here it hasn't become a serious pest. IT is a strange type of moth, parthenogenic (reproduces without mating) and have many host plants including deciduous and coniferous species. The larvae chew up bark, soil, and other matter to attach to silk, forming the snail-like cases. The larvae overwinter. You'll probably see some leaf damage where they are present. The cases can be annoying when they crawl up to overwinter attached to homes or structures. Blasting off with a jet of water, application of a labeled residual insecticide in season (choose according to whether on a plant or a structure), or use of other product labeled for caterpillar control (Btk, others) should control them. Of course be sure a product is labeled for that particular use. Here are some factsheets on-line: Dan Gilrein |

having finally read the links above.. i think ... if it need be said.. that you ought to inform your county Ag extension office immediately ... they might be very interested in this little known problem ... if you dont want the gubment involved.. then perhaps removal and burning is the next best option ... this usually solves such type issues .... are you in WA ????? ken |
Thank you so much for posting the follow-up of your findings, and doing the right thing by submitting samples. Finding pests in new territory is always disconcerting.......sigh. |
- Posted by naturewest (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 13:46
Ken, I sent a link to this thread to our county extension office. I should've known, because he is REALLY good, that he was already aware of this pest. He sent me the link below: http://ag.arizona.edu/yavapai/anr/hort/byg/archive/snailcasebagworms.html |

The Kia Optima Batmobile: Batman's Spare Car
Kia Motors, DC Entertainment, and RIDES Magazine unveiled their first of 8 Justice League-inspired Kias at the recent 2012 New York Comic Con. The launch was part of DC's "We Can Be Heroes" campaign, which helps fight famine in Africa.
This Batman-inspired Optima was on display at New York's Time Warner Center and is the beginning of a 10-month partnership based on the characters that make up the Justice League. They hope to raise awareness of the charity campaign, which Batman would certainly approve of.
I'm not sure that Batman would ever buy a Kia, but I love what they have done with this car. It certainly looks great with the whole Batman theme – especially that grill.

Topic » Population Trends and Demography
In 2011, the world's population will surpass 7 billion. While the rate of population growth has slowed in most parts of the world, we still increase by nearly 80 million people every year—the equivalent of adding another U.S. to the world every four years. The number of people on the planet has doubled since 1960, and if current growth rates continue, the world's population would hit 11 billion by 2050. Common estimates of a 9 billion plateau for world population rest of questionable assumptions about falling fertility rates and the availability of contraception. Currently, 222 million women around the world want to avoid pregnancy but need contraception.
Most countries in the developing world have high fertility rates and are getting younger; some developed countries have low fertility rates and are aging. Research has shown that demographics can have a significant impact on countries' stability, governance, economic development and the well-being of its people. PAI believes that the future of population growth will be shaped by actions we take today, including providing access to family planning.
