What can I do with all of these? I have well over 25 gallons of various peppers the majority being hot. I've done a few things so far: Dried What about hot sauce? I've tried finding some recipes, but most "sauce" taste terrible to me since I've never found tabasco sauce or any others appealing really. I am debating on implementing some into my own bbq recipe, or drying more and trying to make my own powder recipe (garlic, onion, peppers etc.) I'd opt to use some in cooking but I'm really the only one in the household that likes a little spice, and I'm not too fond of the super hot taste (or having to eat ice cream with a meal every time.) Any unique ideas that you have used? Oh I've gave tons away, I just didn't think the plants would be as productive as they were, easily getting 15 gallons per week right now, and I'm mostly wanting to find some ideas to use lol... |

ever consider getting a booth at a farmer's market? or selling them to a produce stand? 15gal per week is a lot of peppers, enough to sell. |
Thanks for the feedback. I've sold a couple here and there, the problem is where I live even though I can occasionally find someone who likes to play with fire, it's not often, nor do they need a "lot." Though I may try to find one that's a little busier and try selling a few. I'll also check over at that other forum as well to see if I can get any fun ideas. |

Interview with Second Life avatar sculptorTomorrow -- Sunday -- at 2PM Pacific (11AM Eastern, 10PM UK) I'm doing my in-game book-signing in Second Life, a massively multiplayer online world with an extensive toolkit for creating in-game artifacts that have sophisticated behaviors and appearances (I once met a guy who makes a real living making and selling in-game penises). The Second Lifers made a special effort to make me welcome, holding a design competition to create an in-game edition of my new book, Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town (which included a replica cover made by creating an in-game avatar that looked like the girl on the cover's brilliant Dave McKean painting, posing it, and taking screenshots). They also roped a Second Lifer, lilith Pendragon, into creating a custom avatar for me that looks pretty eerily lifelike (I logged in for a bit last night and made it do funky disco moves that required a lot more coordination that the real-life me could ever muster). Second Life's in-game reporter, Hamlet Linden, has run a fascinating interview with lilith, who apparently has a whole in-gmae business creating custom avatars for players: (Thanks, James!)

> British Cruise Operator All Leisure Group Snags New Ship
Date Published: November 16, 2009
Cruise News
British Cruise Operator All Leisure Group Snags New Ship
(2:32 p.m. EST) -- British-owned All Leisure Group plc (ALG), which operates
Swan Hellenic
Voyages of Discovery
Hebridean Island Cruises
, is back on the acquisition trail.
The company -- which saved the Swan Hellenic name from extinction in 2008 and bought
Hebridean Princess
earlier this year from the ailing Hebridean International -- has just snapped up a fourth vessel, the 15,271-tonne mv Alexander von Humboldt. Until recently, the 250-cabin ship had been sailing for the German cruise line
Phoenix Reisen
, chartered from a Dutch company, Club Cruise, which folded this year.
Alexander von Humboldt was built in 1990 for Crown Cruise Line as Crown Monarch, moving in 1994 to Asia, where it was operated until 2006 as a gambling ship, first called Nautican and sailing from Singapore and later, bearing the unfortunate name of Walrus, offering a similar service in Hong Kong. Sea Containers, the then owner, sold the ship to Club Cruise in 2006, where it was chartered out to operate expedition cruises for Phoenix Reisen.
What's really confusing, though, is that there was another Alexander von Humboldt, chartered by Phoenix Reisen in 2005 but returned to ALG's Swan Hellenic in 2008 -- for whom it now sails as
. So ALG will now have two ships that have both sailed under the same name.
Curiously, ALG has not yet decided how to brand its new vessel and a spokesman was unable to confirm whether the Alexander von Humboldt would sail for Voyages of Discovery, Swan Hellenic or Hebridean -- or under which name.
With 250 cabins, 90 percent of which are outside, it could sit nicely alongside Voyages of Discovery's
mv Discovery
(which has 708 lower berths) or Swan Hellenic's mv Minerva (which has 394).
Expanding the Hebridean brand might be a bigger challenge. Hebridean Princess only takes 49 passengers and when Hebridean International was still trading, it struggled to fill even a slightly bigger ship,
Hebridean Spirit
, which only had 80 berths and was sold in April this year.
Keeping his cards close to his chest, ALG chairman Roger Allard commented in a press statement: "We are always looking to expand our specialist small ship cruise fleet and our latest acquisition fits perfectly with both the profile of our fleet and our destination-led product offering, especially given the high number of outside cabins. This acquisition underpins the confidence that we have in the potential of our destination-led small ship niche cruise offering."
What we do know is that there will be an extensive upgrade and refurbishment to the ship, bringing the total investment to approximately $20 million, and that it will enter service in summer 2011.
Exactly what will be changed is yet to be announced. We'll keep you posted.

The Essential Ornaments for Any Self-Respecting Nerd's Tree

Getting ready to trim your tree? Check out our favorite ornaments, from Weeping Angel tree toppers to comics origami.
Getting ready to trim your tree? Check out our favorite ornaments, from Weeping Angel tree toppers to comics origami.
It's hard to say whether the 4moms Origami is a high-end stroller built with babies in mind or whether it's more of a treat for the person pushing it. Its specs read more like those of a high-end car than a baby buggy.
Seul Bi Kim developed the "Togo Package," a fast food concept that serves up a perfect pairing of origami and obesity.
Wildlife biologist Bernie Peyton has been working with origami for more than 50 years, almost as long as he's been interested in conservation. Here we've rounded up an ark-full of his origami bears, birds and bugs.
Martin Hunt was studying math at Southampton University when he started designing an origami X-wing fighter as a diversion. With its iterations of changes, Hunt became obsessed with the project, and quickly moved on to folding other Star Wars ships and droids — lots of others.
Marc Hagan-Guirey can often be heard screaming from his office. Chalk it up to early exposure to too many horror films as a kid. Steeped in diagrams and sketches and interiors of the genre's most notorious haunted houses, Hagan-Guirey sits, blade in hand, above his victim — an ornery 8.5" by 11" sheet of paper. The only real torture exacted is on himself. See, the digital designer-turned-artist has taken his love of scary movies to paper.
Looking for a Halloween project? In this how-to video, our resident paper-folding enthusiast shows you how to create a ghoulish character named Seymour Guts.
Back in elementary school, paper planes were a distraction. They were the class clown's preferred weapon and the bane of teachers everywhere. But some creators took their school-time shenanigans to the pro level, becoming aeronautical engineers, origami artists, world champions, and record setters. From the biggest to the trickiest to the most intricately designed, here are 10 of the most impressive paper planes on the planet.
Science fiction robots tend to come from one of two production lines: helpful protocol droids like C-3PO or cyborg Terminators hell-bent on destroying humanity. Few sci-fi storytellers imagined a future where robots would be programmed to master the art of interior decorating. Fortunately for the design-challenged, present-day roboticists have.
Harvard University engineers have come up with a production technique inspired by pop-up books and origami, that allows clones of tiny robots to be mass-produced in sheets. Pratheev Sreetharan and colleagues at the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory have been working on bio-inspired robots that are about the same size as a bee, can fly and can […]

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP)
Baton-wielding riot police on Monday cleared Taiwan's Cabinet offices of scores of angry protesters opposed to a trade pact with China, escalating tensions over the island's rapidly developing ties with the communist mainland.
Authorities said they arrested 58 protesters and that 137 were injured, including 24 that were hospitalized. The crackdown came five days after mainly student demonstrators occupied the nearby legislature to protest the ruling party's decision to renege on a promised line-by-line review of the trade agreement.
Political protests in Taiwan are common, but violent confrontations relatively rare, reflecting the high level of civil discourse resulting from the transition from one-party dictatorship to robust democracy in the mid-1990s.
The protests have been mostly peaceful, attracting tens of thousands of supporters to the government center.
China's government has not commented on the protests, although an editorial Monday in the official newspaper Global Times was harshly critical.
"The Taiwanese students lack the courage and determination to commit to regional economic integration, fear losing out and change and only wish to defend the status quo," the editorial read, contrasting Taiwan's hesitation with South Korea's embrace of the Chinese economy.
Early Sunday, Ma rejected protester demands to shelve the trade pact, which would open dozens of service sector industries to Chinese investment. It was signed in June by representatives from Taipei and Beijing, but still awaits ratification by Taiwan's legislature.
Ma said that rejecting the pact now would undermine Taiwan's credibility and harm its economy, which has become increasingly tied to Chinese markets.
Student leaders insist tying Taiwan too closely to China will harm Taiwan's hard-won democratic freedoms and pave the way for China's eventual takeover of the island.
China and Taiwan split amid civil war in 1949 and Beijing has long sought to assert its control over the island, using military force if necessary.

Delaware farmers saw record harvest in 2012
DOVER, Del. (AP) — A federal agriculture report shows Delaware farmers produced a record $1.2 billion in crops and livestock in 2012, despite a severe drought.
Preliminary data from a U.S. Department of Agriculture report released Thursday shows that figure was up 19 percent since the last report in 2007. The value of crop production, which more than doubled to $429 million, was helped by high commodity prices.
Delaware agriculture Secretary Ed Kee says the report shows the state has a "strong, viable industry with a powerful economic impact."
Meanwhile, the report shows a slight dip in the number of farms and amount of farmland since the previous report. Acreage was down less than 1 percent and farms decreased by 3 percent. Nationwide, acreage declined by 1 percent and farms decreased by 4 percent.

Even though we ARE Nikon lovers,we are NOT affiliated with Nikon Corp. in any way.

A month ago, I had a batch of photos that I took in RAW & jpg. Different than before, the RAW pictures were very depleted of reds and the adjuster for vibrance & saturation could not correct this (the sliders had no effect on the reds).Any ideas what happened here?
Hi Carmen,What photo editing software are you using to process the Raw images?Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty
Hello Carmen. Looking at your profile I see you use a D800. If you made the pictures in question with a D800 maybe this post should go in the D800 forum?Regards
My Nikonians gallery
These were taken with my D80
Photoshop Cs3
Did this condition happen one day and then disappear, or is this still the case? Could you post one of the originals, or a reduction of same?
_____Brian... a bicoastal Nikonian and Team MemberMy gallery is online. Comments and critique welcomed any time!
This just happened once, with a huge batch.Is there a way to post RAW here?
http://images.nikonians.org/galleries/showphoto.php/photo/401937I converted the original RAW to jpg and put this in my gallery
The image has reds as you can see from the histogram in the screen shot below. There is nothing that is "red", though, in the image. The reds do not change as you said, however, when using the saturation sliders, etc. Not sure why this is.Your image was posted in Adobe RGB so it may look more "bland" than it is. Adjusted a little in LR and posted below in sRGB.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Attachment #1, (jpg file)Attachment #2, (jpg file)
Thank you for your reply!Here is the jpg image (from the original jpg) after I worked it in photoshop -I'll give you my Facebook link to the jpg image, hope this works.http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.530008957026865.130048.100000532976423&type=1&l=0cadd74070Yes, I agree, I was wrong saying there was no red in the RAW file, its just that, in comparison with the original scene and the original jpg and the modified jpg, the red was depleted (the orange was very yellowish) and, yes, it could not improve with the sliders...
Hi Carmen,I'm not a facebook member so I can't see your photo. However Photoshop can't display raw files with the Picture Control settings. So if you had Vivid set, your jpg would look much more colorful and saturated than the raw file. Look at the raw file with Nikon's View or Capture NX2 and compare it to the jpeg. They should look the same. If they don't then there is something else going on here.Len

IE9 power tips: the secrets of pinned site shortcuts
Pinned shortcuts are the killer feature of Internet Explorer 9, as I noted in my review of the IE9 beta yesterday.
The most common scenario for using pinned apps is to put them on the Taskbar, as I illustrated in my report (and as Microsoft has showed off in their demos). Indeed, that is the right choice for your absolute favorite sites, the ones you use all the time, like a web-based mail client or your Facebook or Twitter page. That lets you treat the site as if it were an app. And as I pointed out earlier, you can also open additional tabs alongside your pinned site to keep groups of related tabs in the same window, identified on the taskbar by the icon of the pinned site. (For a quick refresher on how pinned sites work and why theyre so useful, see Treating websites as apps.) |

Taco Bowl with Crispy Kale Chips
Posted By Worker Bee On June 23, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Recipes | 39 Comments
One-bowl meals, like this taco bowl, are a great example of achieving maximum flavor with minimal effort. When all the ingredients for a meal are piled on top of each other in a bowl, every bite brings a delicious new combination of flavor. Plus, every bite is packed with protein, healthy fat, and a variety of vegetables [7]. And, it's ridiculously easy to make.
Start by mixing up a batch of taco seasoning. It's a bold but not overpowering spice blend that can be used to season any type of meat, or vegetable for that matter. Double the recipe if you like, then store extra in your spice drawer to season other meals.
Next, slice up a variety of peppers [8] and an onion and saute them in the same pan as the seasoned meat. Then gather up your garnishes. Avocado and tomato are a must for a taco bowl. Baked kale chips are optional, but add the perfect crunch. You could stop there if you wanted to, but why? The beauty of a one-bowl meal is that the more ingredients you add, the better it tastes. Cilantro, mixed greens, salsa, grated cheese, sour cream, black olives, green onions…dig through your kitchen and add whatever sounds good.
Pile everything high in a bowl, grab a fork and sit down to eat. In 20 minutes or less you've just made an incredibly delicious meal without breaking a sweat.
Servings: 3-4
Taco Seasoning
Taco Bowl
Mix together the taco seasoning spices. Set aside.
To make the kale chips, preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems and separate the leaves from the tough center rib. Rip or cut the leaves into small pieces then toss with olive oil and a few pinches of taco seasoning. Bake the leaves in a single layer – this is important because if you crowd too many into one pan they won't get as crisp. Bake for about 20 minutes until leaves are crisp and easily crumble.
While the kale chips bake, sprinkle the rest of the taco seasoning on the meat.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat warm a few tablespoons of oil and saute the onion just a few minutes. Add the bell peppers to the skillet. Saute about five minutes more until the onion and peppers are brown around the edges and a little bit soft.
Add the meat. Saute with the veggies until cooked.
In serving bowls, combine the meat, peppers and onion with avocado and tomato. Top with kale chips and other garnishes.

"We love Thai food, my husband asks for this dish regularly. This is my version of a popular soup, which, I have made very spicy. All the flavors together create an unforgettable treat."
Serving Size: 1 (664 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"Very tasty soup, I made a couple of changes - left out the sweet chili sauce, soy & mirin and used some Thai coconut sugar and added fresh chopped bird-eye chili to make it extra hot - I like hot food! I also add some bean thread noodles and shredded cabbage. I made this as part of the Aus/NZ Swap #39"
"If you like spicy, this is a soup for you. I managed to forget to buy the Thai red curry paste, did not have kaffir leaves, did not use the soy just to help with sodium, did not use the sweet chili sauce because it was at the back of the fridge. Used a whole jalapeno. Don't worry if you don't have quite all the ingredients - this soup has so much going for it that it will still turn out great! If you don't use so much broth, this would also be a nice curry."
"A spicy soup full of depth. I didn't have galangal, Kaffir leaves or tamarind paste, and used yellow curry powder instead of red paste. The soup was a big hit. -Thanks so Much!"

Newsroom.co.nz agency story
Prime Minister Helen Clark says no classified information has been
accessed by foreign nations attempting to hack into government computer
Security Intelligence Service head, Warren Tucker, told the Dominion
Post that government websites have been attacked, information has been
stolen and software has been installed that could be used to take
control of computer systems.
Neither Mr Tucker nor Ms Clark would identify which countries were
conducting cyber espionage against New Zealand, but both pointed to
reports of other countries recently experiencing similar attacks.
Earlier this month reports said Chinese military hackers had found their
way into a Pentagon defense system in June, and German chancellor,
Angela Merkel, has recently raised the issue of Chinese military
infiltration into German government computers with Chinese Premier Wen
Officially, China has denied the attacks, citing "specific laws" against
computer hacking.
Ms Clark told reporters today that the hackers had not succeeded in
accessing classified information, and the attacks were not unique to New
"What I can stress is that absolutely no classified information has ever
been penetrated by these attacks," she said.
The Financial Times recently quoted sources who said the incursions were
coming from the Chinese People's Liberation Army, in what appears to be
ongoing attempts to perfect asymmetrical warfare capabilities.
Asymmetrical warfare involves countries which do not possess the same
level of military power as their bigger enemies, adopting dissimilar
tactics to wage conflict.
The PLA has been working since the mid-1990s to perfect its
unconventional warfare capabilities. Hacking into an enemy's computer
networks is a tactic in which China has a particular interest, since the

Maugham kept his own lodgings, took pleasure in furnishing them, filled many notebooks with literary ideas, and continued writing nightly while at the same time studying for his medical degree.

Maugham returned to England from his ambulance unit duties to promote Of Human Bondage. With that completed, he was eager to assist the war effort once more. As he was unable to return to his ambulance unit, Syrie arranged for him to be introduced to a high-ranking intelligence officer known only as "R." In September 1915, Maugham began work in Switzerland, secretly gathering and passing on intelligence while posing as himself — that is, as a writer.

In 1916, Maugham travelled to the Pacific to research his novel The Moon and Sixpence, based on the life of Paul Gauguin.

52 Years Old
In 1926, Maugham bought Villa Mauresque on 9 acres (3.6 hectares) at Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera, which was his home for most of the rest of his life, and one of the great literary and social salons of the 1920s and 30s.

55 Years Old
Syrie and Maugham divorced in May 1929 after a tempestuous marriage complicated by Maugham's frequent travels abroad and strained by his relationship with Haxton.
59 Years Old
Maugham's talent for the dramatic was demonstrated in his 1933 retelling of the ancient Babylonian myth An Appointment in Samarra, where Death was both the narrator and a central character.

70 Years Old
Gerald Haxton died in 1944, and Maugham moved back to England, then in 1946 to his villa in France, where he lived, interrupted by frequent and long travels, until his death.

Ward Vegetables
Best customer service ever
By: Crystal Irwin (Mar 2, 2012)
We loved the variety, loved the drive, loved learning what is going on.
CSA day was always either fun trip for the family or lovely Mom time for me. Can't tell you how many times I pulled over to the side of the road to snap a perfect shot.
Really great quality vegetables, wonderful variety, great focus on nutrient dense options. It makes healthy living much easier, and far more affordable than going to the grocery store.
My veggie picky husband and kids devoured everything: "Is this what potatoes are supposed to taste like?" "Is this what carrots are supposed to taste like?".
In a word, yes. When they are grown to be eaten, not grown to be shipped around the world.
Love love love this family and their wonderful CSA.

I will visit my orchard this weekend and was planning to do first fungus spray and wondered 1) If this is a good idea now and 2) Should I tank mix triazicide with it now? I will not be able to visit the orchard again until memorial day weekend and I am fearing that will be late to spray for insects and such. I realize or think its early to spray but due to timing thought it better. This is my question. My location is central NY, finger lakes region, just out of the zone 6 that reaches up into NY. I am a good zone 5b. I mention all this as I currently do not know the state of bloom and such there and think this will help to determine what I should do. I do know dandelions are NOT out there yet and suspect all fruit blossoms are not out yet either. Suggestions?? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
First question is what fruits you're growing there. Most important question is the state of bloom. If apples, they probably do need a fungicide application at this time for scab. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Fri, May 9, 14 at 11:22
No, you will have to wait. Trees will be about ready to bloom, I think. The fungicide is fine. |
I have apples, pears, peaches. WIll spray Rampart actually as I have it and its rated for all these. Have been using it some and its worked out OK. I just need to get on it more often Ithink. I guess I figured it was early for insecticide but hoped someone would say its not. Hope memorial day weekend is OK. blah. Is it time to retire to my orchard yet??? Thanks for info. |

Loading... The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (original 2009; edition 2012)by Jonas Jonasson
Work detailsThe Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson (2009)
Compact | Rate recommendations
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. funny but at times too wordy During the 2014 D Day celebrations, the news story that most people were talking about was that of an 89 year old pensioner who had gone missing from his retirement home only to show up in Normandy to partake in the events. Thankfully he didn't get into any trouble or go on any sort of murder spree. I bring him up because his escapade is very similar to the opening chapter of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. Allan Karlsson decides he's had enough of living in his retirement home and decides to make a break for it, minutes before the start of this hundredth birthday celebration. But Allan can't just go on his own. He decides to swipe the suitcase of a local criminal. That is the first and least heinous of Allan's crimes. Along the way he picks up a few likeminded compatriots Ñ all of whom share in Allan's new found fortune and uncanny knack for violent crime. Now if this book took place solely in the present, with Allan as a centenarian, I would be singing its praises. It doesn't. Instead it gets bogged down in Allan's remarkable backstory, one in which Allan ends up meeting everyone important from each big event of the twentieth century. Allan's backstory is LONG, improbable, and boring as all get out. It's clearly padding for a story that would have otherwise been a delightfully Edward Gorey-esque novella. A rollicking good tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written piece of literature with good characterization, laugh out loud interaction, and just a fun read about a very endearing, unpretentious 100 year old man. No message, no suspense, no mystery, just a good, fun story to enjoy. An enjoyable, if slightly silly romp, all written in a deadpan style. There are lots of funny moments in it, all written in a matter of fact way, which makes them even funnier. Not a book that will appeal to everyone, but I found it fun This is a wonderful book that I reckon would make a great movie. The story begins with Allan Karlsson escaping from the old age home in order to skip his 100th birthday party. The old man climbs out the window and begins an amazing adventure that finds him on the run from the police and a bunch of bad guys. This charismatic man picks up a bunch of interesting friends along the way. There seems to be no end to the outrageous chain of events. The story also includes the very interesting and unusual history of Allan's life. This goes a long way to explaining the personality of the old man. Overall this is a very enjoyable story. It had me laughing out loud a few times, and very amused most of the time. I enjoyed every page.
Fast-moving and relentlessly sunny, the novel quickly develops into a romp that takes in all the major events of the 20th century. . . the plot is pleasingly nimble and the book's endearing charm offers a happy alternative to the more familiar Nordic noir. Stalin synger svenske drikkeviser, og Truman blir dritings .Forrest Gump som hundreåring i ny bok. ANMELDELSE: Han redder general Franco, riktignok etter først å ha plassert en bombe for å drepe ham. Han avverger et attentat mot Churchill, og gir Oppenheimer den endelige løsningen på formelen for atombomben. Det rene soap altså. Samtidig er det — på sin høyst skakke og fantasifulle måte — en fantastisk reise gjennom forrige århundre. Jonas Jonassen er intelligent, vittig og systemkritisk, der han harver over alt fra fjollete politifolk, rasehygienikere og despoters ideologiske paranoia. I en bok som gir håp om at alle har en fremtid, også hundreåringer.

Confined to a nursing home and about to turn 100, Allan Karlsson, who has a larger-than-life back story as an explosives expert, climbs out of the window in his slippers and embarks on an unforgettable adventure involving thugs, a murderous elephant and a very friendly hot dog stand operator.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

"If ever you miss a dinner date with your girlfriend, common sense tells you that you'd better have a good excuse. Which I did… on both counts. And my excuse was outstanding. I was attacked… by a lion… at an office party… in a strip club… in Jo'burg. Well… ok… let me go back to the beginning."

Uthando South Africa wins at Indaba 2013
At the heart of responsible tourism is a new generation of responsible travellers who are seeking real, meaningful and authentic experiences and are in tune with responsible lifestyle practices such as buying fair-trade products and experiences, and supporting community tourism.
Cape Town has been working towards being a responsible and sustainable city and destination for many years and we have again seen an increase in responsible tourism awareness, products and practices at Indaba 2013.
Cape Town welcomes #MeetSouthAfrica travel bloggers
Bloggers love South Africa – we know this from our #LoveCapeTown campaign. This campaign saw us bringing four international travel bloggers (@traveldudes @velvetescape @landlopers and @wildjunket) to Cape Town in July 2012 during a social media drive in which Capetonians interacted with the bloggers and their followers, telling the stories of Cape Town and her people.

Discovering Langa – a photo essay
Langa, South Africa's oldest township, was established in 1923 as part of the then Urban Areas Act. Similar to Nyanga, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha, Langa is one of the areas in South Africa that was designated for black Africans before the apartheid epoch. The name Langa means "sun" in Xhosa, but the name of the area is actually derived from the name Langalibalele – a famous chief who was imprisoned on Robben Island for rebelling against the government.
World AIDS Day in Cape Town
Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been about raising money for, heightening awareness of, combating prejudice through and improving education around AIDS-related efforts. In 2010, Cape Town will be part of global efforts to raise awareness around HIV/AIDS, as part of both the (RED) and the Lights for Rights campaigns, by illuminating Table Mountain with red lights from 19h00 until midnight tonight.
The (RED) campaign raises money for the Global Fund, the biggest pot of money dedicated to overcoming AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, by co-branding products and releasing them in limited (RED) editions, donating up to 50% of the proceeds. One of the components of this campaign involves turning iconic landmarks around the world red. The initiative dovetails well with the Lights for Rights campaign, which places emphasis on "shining a light on human rights" in relation to HIV and AIDS, drawing global attention to the rights of those infected and affected by HIV.
Cape Town makes visitor safety a priority this summer season
Cape Town's busy summer season is fast approaching and tourism authorities are gearing up for an upturn in business. An influx of tourists is expected on the back of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ and the city is looking forward to welcoming visitors from South Africa and the rest of the world.

Today, September 27, is World Tourism Day and the theme of this year's celebration is "Tourism and Biodiversity". African penguins are a familiar sight to Capetonians and visitors to our city alike, but it is alarming to know that the plight of these beloved seabirds is more critical than most of us realise.

"It would be an understatement to say we are frustrated and disappointed," McDonald said.
Air NZ is trying to work out when exactly in 2014 it will receive its first 787-9. For now, a spokesman said, 2014 "is as specific as it gets".
The delay is likely in relation to the one-month hold Boeing implemented on the 787 line earlier this month.
The carrier is looking to mitigate the delay by postponing the retirement of aircraft. Future routes–such as to South America and Sao Paulo in particular–may be delayed.
"We're on about plan C," McDonald said.

When asked in a GQ interview about how Katie Holmes knew she was pregnant, Tom Cruise explains: "Yeah, she did the whole stick test; I think she just touched the box and they all turned blue."
LUKE WARM SIZZLER: Trishelle and Duritz?
Neither women nor men, can figure out the mystery of Counting Crow's singer Adam Duritz and his surprising success with hot women. The pudgy, side-show Bob-esque singer has dated stunningly attractive women like Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Monica Potter and Mary Louise Parker. And now he's reportedly linked to Real World/Surreal Life sexpot Trishelle Canntella. So how did dowdy Duritz land another hottie? Well, Trishelle was linked to effeminate comedian Andy Dick. So maybe she likes dating 'down' and we know he only dates 'up.' Maybe somwhere in the middle is love. (I think I just wrote the single on Duritz's next album.)
END THIS TREND: Freaky Celebrity Sculptures
History has shown us that nothing ruins art as quickly as commerce, but that was before celebrities came along. If things keep up like this, in 15 years the Metropolitan Museum of Art is going to look like Madame Tussaud's.
As if the emotionally-scarring "Britney Spears Debuting Sean Preston To the World" statue wasn't enough, now there's the "Kate Moss Coke-Fueled Pre-Coital Vagina Presentation" sculpture you're unable to stop looking at on your left.
Look, I know it's tempting for you starving artists to throw together a "Lindsay Lohan Saturday Night Bathroom Break at Bungalow 8" sculpture to get some press and sell some work, but this trend seriously needs to end now before real damage is done and someone unviels their inevitable "Katie Holmes Gives Silent Birth While Tom Cruise Hovers Above Her Like Zool From Ghostbusters" Masterpiece.
I just don't think my fragile psyche can handle that.
While You Were Passing Over
- A Japanese cinema will screen the Colin Farrell movie The New World in "smellovision." They tried this with Farrell's last movie, Alexander… It stunk. (Thank you, I'll be here all week.)
- Pete Doherty missed his most recent court appearance because he was stuck in Paris. Miss Hilton has yet to comment.
- Tickets for Madonna's forthcoming shows at Madison Square Garden sold out in ten minutes. Unlike Madonna, who actually waited a couple of years before selling out.
- The NY Post reports that scientists have developed a formula that determines what makes a great ass. As expected, working for the NY Post is one of the characteristics.
- Michael Douglas impersonates legendary actor Richard Burton to get wife Catherine Zeta-Jones hot in bed. Like Burton, he just lays there, dead.
- "I just picked up something and knew at that moment she was pregnant, because I notice things in people."- Tom Cruise, on how he knew Katie was pregnant before she told him, and how he knows the rest of us think he's completely insane.
It's So Hard To Say Goodbye…
For those of you who've been unable to properly rest or relax since last week's announcement of the big Katie Couric-Meredith Vieira-Today-The View switcheroo, fear not!
A quick glance at this video from Comedy Central and your misgivings will be quelled, as you realize that these two women are really just one in the same.
Life really does go on.

Is Brett Ratner Having the Best Week Ever?
Brett Ratner, the undisputed holder of the title "Hollywood's Hackiest Director", is like that guy in high school who, despite being a total jackass, always had the hottest girlfriend, the coolest car, the best scholarship, and all-around luck that would make the Irish weep into their whiskey.
Anyway, in the course of the past week or so, he's got Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan (who he might be dating) fighting over him, Ashton Kutcher punking Hugh Jackman at his house, the Malibu Film Festival honoring (!?!) him, and to top it all off, his longtime friend Robert Evans (above) has 'stayed in the picture' yet another week without croaking.
Sounds to me like a classic case of Best Week Ever.

Hi: I have only baby plantlets at this time, as I am just getting back into AV's. Here is my list and I hope to have some leaves for Spring/Summer 2006 trade.
Alamo Stranger
Leaves will be available in the spring .. I know that is quite awhile away, but got to let the little guys grow up some and need some warm weather to mail. Now this is what I have down. It is long!! With more coming in a few weeks. Hopefully I will have leaves from these ready for 2006 trade.. maybe a few babies too!! Alamo Luster
WHEW!!! Dang I did not realize I had so many.. most of them are at least 2 - 4 leaves down of each variety, so I hope to have lots of plantlets/babies to trade. But it will be Spring/Summer of 2006. I will be adding more leaves and plants, weather permitting. Hopefully one day I will create a want list for myself.. but right now I am new and do not want to abuse this forum. I love the ones with heavy green edges.. but do love the fancy frills, fringe and ruffled ones of all colors. Thanks for reading,
Follow-Up Postings:
I will be glad to take some orders for leaves from what I have or if you are willing to wait, I can send you leaves from some of the babies. If you have some outstanding and very unusal named violets, I will be glad to trade 2 leaves for 2 leaves... minimium 20 leaves as shipping priority is not worth sending less. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Maybe I should list some of my wants and if you would send me your want list from my list, I keep good records, I will keep it for the shipping of leaves for next spring/summer. I will be adding more violet names as time goes by of what I have to offer. Already today I have 8 more, but will wait to list them when I have about 20 or more new ones. In my next message I will list my wants. If you see anything that interest you in my list just let me know and I will put you on a list.. it is a first come first serve, so send me a list of what you have to offer and then we can start our list between each other!! Thanks for understanding my situation about not having any leaves to share for now.. but come spring/summer 2006, I will have lots to share!! Tea |

Clay and Atmosphere: A Guide to Ceramic Kilns and Firing Methods
Posted By Richard Zakin On February 1, 2010 @ 8:00 am In Ceramic Kilns,Daily,Features | 15 Comments
We all have so many different approaches to our own ceramic art that it can feel like we're coming from entirely different perspectives—and often we are, which is why the conversations we have here on Ceramic Arts Daily can get so interesting. One of the things we all have in common, however, is that we all need to fire our work if we want it to last. Okay, there are some who are experimenting with ideas of permanence and fragility who make raw clay objects solely for the purpose of letting them erode, but that's the exception rather than the rule. The rest of us need a kiln. Not only that; we need to know how to use it, what it does (and what it won't do). There are few folks around with as much insight into this aspect of ceramics as Richard Zakin, and in today's post, he walks us through all the major considerations of kiln performance. If you don't already have a kiln, read on to find out how to build a sawdust kiln out of readily available materials. In addition, this and more is included in A Guide to Ceramic Kilns: Choosing the Right Kiln Firing Method and Design For Your Art, which is free to Ceramic Arts Daily subscribers. Enjoy!—Sherman Hall, Ceramic Arts Daily
A kiln is a chamber made from refractory (nonmelting) materials. The ceramist places ware in the chamber. Heat created in this chamber (or in a firebox close by) is contained there and so builds up to high temperatures. The ceramic ware undergoes the firing and cooling process. While clay can be fired in an open fire and does not require a kiln, kilns must be used to attain high temperatures. Furthermore, they allow the ceramist excellent control of heat rise and fall and protect the ware during the rigors of the fire. Therefore, almost all contemporary potters use them.
The kiln designer's job is to make a kiln that keeps its structural integrity over a period of many firings while being efficient and keeping heat loss to a minimum. The kiln must allow the ceramist to efficiently control temperature rise and fall inside the kiln. It must be carefully designed for safe and efficient use of the fuel and must protect the ware during the firing. It must allow the ceramist access for loading and unloading and must have a "spy hole" to provide a view of what is going on inside the kiln during the firing.
Kiln Atmosphere
This term refers to the oxidizing or reducing properties of the fire. These properties strongly influence the character of the ware.
Reduction Firing
In the reduction process the ceramist reduces the amount of oxygen allowed to enter the firing chamber. A fuelburning kiln demands a great deal of oxygen: it is very natural for the atmosphere inside a fuel-burning kiln to become depleted of oxygen during the firing. Reduction leaves its mark on both clay bodies and glazes. It modifies color and visual texture. Clay body color is deepened, sometimes moving to rich oranges and reds and sometimes to gray colors. A strong visual texture is created by dark spots that occur in a random but pleasing manner over the surface of the piece. These are caused by particles of iron oxide which have been changed to black iron oxide in the reduction process. Glaze texture and color are also modified. The dark spots that mark the surface of the clay come through to the glaze and mark it as well. Glaze color can be strongly marked by reduction: for example, copper will turn a blood red, white glazes take on a cream color with a broken texture of dark spots, iron greens and ocher colors become burnt oranges and brick reds; sky blues become slate blues.
This post is excerpted from A Guide to Ceramic Kilns: Choosing the Right Kiln Firing Method and Design For Your Art, which is free to Ceramic Arts Daily subscribers.
Flashing occurs because fuel-burning kilns allow the ceramist to subject the work to direct flame. In the flashed area, color will be deepened and the transition from one color to the other may be marked by unpredictable visual effects. Flashing occurs naturally in fuel-burning kilns. The ceramist may heighten the effect by modifying the flame path inside the kiln or by strongly reducing one or two burners in a multiple-burner kiln. Reduced and flashed work is valued for its rich and unpredictable character.
Low-Fire Reduction
We often associate reduction with the high fire but it is also used in the low fire and can result in very effective surfaces. Low-fire reduction lets us darken and enrich clay surfaces while leaving the surface of the clay completely revealed so that it may speak for itself.
The black pottery of African village potters and the similar work of the Pueblo potters of the Southwestern United States are examples of low-fire reduction. So too are the carbon blackened surfaces we see from some raku firings and sawdust firings.
To carry out a sawdust firing the ceramist packs the work in sawdust in a simple kiln structure, sets the sawdust on fire, and allows it to burn until combustion ceases from lack of fuel.As the sawdust burns, rich patterns of carbon smudging are left on the surface of the piece. Pieces fired in sawdust have a natural and direct quality that can be very appealing. Sawdust firing has the advantage of being economical – sawdust is usually free for the taking.The firing is carried out in a simple firing container rather than in a true kiln. These only require a top and a wall with small openings to allow air to enter and smoke to leave during combustion.
The best thing about the sawdust fire, however, is that the work that comes from it is marked by the fire and this can be very appealing. Furthermore, sawdust firing is very appealing to students new to ceramics, it is spontaneous and can be quickly learned.
Pieces intended for the sawdust fire can be painted first with stains or terra sigillata. The sawdust fire is very effective with these surface coatings and the fire markings are emphasized.
Making a Sawdust Kiln
The sides of the structure should have openings to allow ready access of air to all parts of the densely packed sawdust. If the kiln is made from bricks (common red brick will do) they should be laid without mortar and with openings to allow air to enter. If using a metal garbage can (which works well) pierce the sides with a sharp tool to allow the entry of air.
Firing a Piece in the Sawdust Fire
You Will Need:
The Procedure
The Pottery of African Village Potters
African village potters create a low-fire reduction ware whose surface is a rich, lustrous, dark black. The work is fired in the open in impromptu firing structures composed of the pots plus shards and fuel. Firing takes place over a very short period – perhaps an hour or two. The method differs from sawdust firing in that at the end of the firing, the potters pull the still hot work from the fire and pour oil over it. The oil quickly burns and stains the surface of the piece carbon black. This is polished and the piece is done. The surface color is more uniform than that from a sawdust fire. Although this method is very simple, the resulting surface is very elegant and effective.
Oxidation Firing
In this kind of firing oxygen is allowed free access to the kiln chamber. In the past this was not so easy, wood-fired kilns naturally went into reduction during the firing. Even then not all ceramists fired in reduction. For example, lead glazes boil and bubble in reduction. Ceramists who finished their pieces with lead glazes took the trouble to control their kiln firings and avoid reduction.With the advent of modern kilns it became very easy to fire in oxidation. Fuel-burning kilns, whose burners are fan driven, lend themselves to oxidation firing. The very popular electric kilns not only lend themselves to the oxidation fire; most of them are not designed to be fired in reduction at all.
The contemporary ceramist must decide whether to use an oxidation or reduction firing atmosphere. This will dictate the choice of a kiln. Neither oxidation nor reduction is superior; both are tools to be used by the ceramist when appropriate.

Mickey Rourke's Dog Passed Away
Mickey Rourke's beloved pet Chihauhau Loki passed away on Monday, according to a rep. He was 18.
Loki was memorably thanked in the fashion forward Rourke's Golden Globe acceptance speech for Best Actor in The Wrestler this year.
"Sometimes when a man's alone, that's all you got ... is your dog," he said at the time, according to TMZ.
Rourke also referred to Loki as "the love of his life" at the Venice Film Festival last year, according to E!. He often had the dog accompany him at appearances and on the red carpet.
The actor, one of the higher profile comebacks of recent years with Golden Globe and BAFTA wins, told Barbara Walters that his dogs were with him when he was at his lowest.
One dog in particular, Lowjack, gave him the will to live.
"And he made a sound, like a little almost human sound. I don't have kids, the dogs became everything to me. The dog was looking at me going, 'Who's going to take care of me?'," Rourke told Babwa.
There is no word on funeral or burial services for Loki at press time.

Deployment options seen as key for mid-tier enterprises seeking rapid installation, ROI, and business insights from multiple terabytes of data.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 14, 2008 -- Roger Llewellyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kognitio, recently participated in an exclusive interview with Ron Powell and the Business Intelligence Network (www.BeyeNETWORK.com). In this interview, Llewellyn discusses how Kognitio WX2 is breaking new ground in delivering high-speed data access to large data volumes in a fraction of the time and cost of competing solutions.
"We are taking a new approach to large scale analytics for companies with an average of 200 terabytes of data by offering data warehousing as a service (DaaS™)," says Roger Llewellyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kognitio. "Vertical solution partners want to work with data warehousing on demand to deploy multiple cost effective solutions and end users are coming to expect rapid access to information. Kognitio can implement solutions much faster - in hours and days for what used to take weeks and months."
Llewellyn noted that Kognitio has rapidly grown by offering its WX2 analytical database in three different ways: through its DaaS offering, as software-only, or integrated as an appliance, using industry-standard, commodity hardware. Each of the options, he noted, enables companies to take advantage of WX2's analytical power across multiple locations globally, and empowers them to obtain insights from terabytes of data within seconds. This, he said, provides them with the information they need to gain and maintain a competitive advance in business.
"Business people are driving software purchases as much as IT professionals these days," says Ron Powell, Cofounder

Noni Bacca Winery wears more medals than a star athlete, a decorated soldier, or a door-to-door medal salesman who wears his inventory around his neck. "The first thing you?re likely to notice after the warm greeting is a wall covered with wine bottles all sporting Olympic-like haul of medals," wrote a Star-News reporter of his visit to the Wilmington winery and tasting room. All told, there are 94 medals, each of which attests to the quality of the reds and whites within the bottles.
Noni Bacca Winery's stellar track record isn't a surprise, considering that owners Toni and Ken Incorvaia literally have winemaking in their blood. Both come from European families with long winemaking traditions: Ken's in Sicily and Toni's in Bulgaria. The couple draws on their traditional winemaking background and modern techniques to produce nearly 70 varietals on the premises. For a decadent treat, try a dessert wine such as the Chilly Bear Icewine, an intensely sweet riesling with notes of apricot and lychee.

No takers? Anyone care to take a guess? ^____^;;;
Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:57 AM
From my experience in the past and having read the AA packet a few times each year I'm fairly sure that that would be safely within the rules.
As long as it is all your own work, basically hand made (as in, obviously not factory made - but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice any quailty) and you don't sell in big time amounts that would merit you having a Sellers Booth (like several hundred or thousands) instead of an Artist's Booth (selling tens and twenties, sometimes breaching low hundreds) then you should be fine. Of course, if a MOD would like to step in and verify or correct this then be my guest.
Good luck Pineaberry~!
