Summer always crushes me. With the kids and work etc nothing gets done. Including this.
Yesterday I got back into the swing.
Of things. Took a roasted turkey breast, slow simmered it and got a nice amount of turkey stock. Took the turkey and chopped into big chunks, added it to some Pipette pasta, tossed with olive oil, fresh basil from the garden, some freshly grated parmigiana – delicious dinner !

quick bite: Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions
8 04 2014Ditto !
Originally posted on hungrytommy:
I have been hearing and reading a lot of great things about Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions in Waltham, MA and given that I love a good sandwich I added it to my list. Despite the great reviews, I didn't have high expectations. It seemed to come out too fast. I was pretty sure it was more hype than substance, but I was wrong.
I stopped by for an early lunch on a Tuesday. It wasn't crowded, just a couple of other customers. Moody's is located in a small storefront along Moody Street, hence the name. There is meat hanging up everywhere and fridges full of other meats, cheeses, and sides. There are only a few seats in the window and a few more at two long tables down the middle of the room. It's small but charming and well done.
The food, though, is what Moody's is all about and…

23 02 2014Put together a pretty simple but incredibly tasty lunch today – BLT & A
Good bread (I used Stop & Shop Brick Oven Pane Tuscan)
Bacon (I used regular sliced from BJ's)
Greens (I used greens from the S&S escarole blend packages salads)
Tomato (S&S again)
Avocado (S&S again!)
Freshly cracked pepper
Freshly cracked sea salt
Make the sandwich. I spread a thin layer of mayo, then greens. Cut tomato into thick slices. Cracked salt on them. Then sliced avocado. Crack pepper on the avocado. Pile the crispy bacon on top. Put a top piece of bread on and enjoy.
For Karin I made a sandwich – for me I made two open faced…
Every single bite was perfect !

Moody Provisions
21 12 2013I was fortunate enough to have Thursday off this week – and among the items on my list was to finally get over to Moody's Delicatessen & Provisions. It is a beautiful space with amazing food that is produced all in house by New England Charcuterie. I wrote in an earlier post about them. Now I've been here and can tell you this – it is meat heaven !
I ordered a sandwich using what I call the "Chez Pascal method" – [derived from many experiences at Chez Pascal and being waited on by Roger – the consummate waiter – close your eyes and touch the menu – it's a no lose situation]. I digress.
On the menu for hot sandwiches they all looked amazing. The sandwich that I wanted least was the Cuban. But unable to make a decision, I was left with the CPM. Sure enough it was the Cuban. Additionally I picked up a bag of their house made truffle chips.
I also bought a 1/4 pound of mole soppresatta. Made with mole, chocolate, ancho chili and GHOST peppers. It is delicious. Spicy but not lingering and not dangerous.
Ok -so I took my leave and started driving home. On the way I dipped I to the bag to see how the truffle chips tasted. They tasted like slivers of heaven, with truffle essence and salt. Somehow the entire bag disappeared before I got home ! Note to self – get more chips next time.
Got home took out the sandwich and thought – kinda small.
Then I took a bite and fell in love.
Not only was it delicious – each bite had layers of perfection – the size was right too.
After I was done – I literally walked around the house laughing. It was by far the best sandwich I had ever eaten !
I can't say enough about the quality of the products of the that they offer.
I realize that they haven't been open too long and are working out some kinks. They either need to embrace selling a solid selection of cheeses – perhaps only from Massachusetts' cheese makers (or New England) or none at all. The selection of cheeses are haphazard at best. Likewise – a selection of 6 or 7 winning side salads/dishes for the case would round it out better than what is in the case now.
When I worked at the now-defunct Wickford Gourmet in RI, they had 140 cheeses, 25 kinds of meats, 16 types of olives in those great tall white crocks on the counter, and the salads. They had the visually and palate pleasing orange lentil salad; the pasta salads and interesting slaws, not to mention the tarragon chicken salad.
These so take time and effort – but I think more people will come often if they can purchase more of what they need at this one spot.
Twice in 3 days – I will go back again and again. It is my kind of place.
Please go and enjoy it too.
Address is 468 Moody Street in Waltham Massachusetts. Parking is on street or around back next to Tedeschi's. Pricy but worth it.

A truly Happy Thanksgiving
29 11 2013So much to be thankful for this year, this season, this month ! With an important exam for work out of the way, I was able to concentrate on food again ! One week after the exam was Thanksgiving, and so planning was fast and furious. We hosted for the first time – it was awesome ! We got a beautiful bird from Russo's and made a good amount of food. Not too much and enough turkey leftover for sandwiches and soup.
I made creamed onions for the first time – and they were a hit ! At no point did I feel rushed, out of control or worried about the food.
With a new table able to fit 6 adults and 3 kids comfortably, we sat and said grace, and ate and ate and drank and laughed.
After dinner we sat in front of the fire, sipped some Allagash Victoria Ale, watched some football and told stories that made us cry with laughter.
All in all a great day. This morning found me up with the boys, making Uncle Phil's great popovers. I took one out and split it with our daughter – light airy crunchy and delicious. Even plain. However, with butter and some fresh berry jam…
Off to make soup and entertain another day !

21 10 2013So we are always looking for a reason to fill our yard with people, and feed them. This year we went with an Oktoberfest celebration. Many friends with their kids were invited. We rented a bouncy house for the kids, and started planning this party.
We were dressed in appropriate garb – I was shocked at how comfortable the lederhosen were ! It was really a blast.
Here's the menu we came up with:
Cambozola & sliced German meats
Pretzels & mustard
Coarse Bratwurst
Smoked Bratwurst
German Potato Salad
Spätzle/Sauerkraut/Bratwurst casserole
And we had two kegs on tap to offer: Harpoon Oktoberfest (http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/beer/13/Octoberfest) & a non-Oktoberfest beer, but one that I am quite fond of, Jack's Abby Hoponius Union (http://jacksabbybrewing.com/). Both are local beers, both made within 20 miles of our house. Both are ridiculously fantastic.
My week started out marinating the brisket to make the sauerbraten. It turned out great. Here is my recipe, and I kept it simple
Edible Table Sauerbraten:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup cider vinegar
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 whole cloves
- 12 juniper berries or 6 teaspoons of gin
- 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
- 1 beef brisket (5 to 6 pounds)
- 15 gingersnaps
Heat water, red wine, cider vinegar, onion, cloves, bay leaves, salt, pepper, juniper berries/gin and mustard seeds in a saucepan over medium high heat. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow marinade to cool and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Season the beef with salt and pepper, and then add to bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal it. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 3 days, turning the roast twice a day.
After 3 days, place the roast from the marinade, and put in slow cooker. Add onions, carrots, celery and marinade in on top of the roast.
Cover and cook roast on Low for 8 hours. Turn slow cooker off. Transfer roast to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Strain cooking liquid into a saucepan on medium-high heat. This cooking liquid will become the gravy. Crush up the gingersnaps and slowly whisk them into the pan, until thickened to your desired level.
Slice the meat, plate it, and pour theg ravy over it.
Sauerbraten gravy & Spätzle cooking on the stove (see the Spartan Pure bottle in the background !)
NOTE: I sliced the meat, put it back into the slow cooker, poured the gravy on top, put it back on low for a bit to keep it warm and then brought the removable dish to the table. Easy easy. All you need is time.
The sauerbraten went quickly. People were taking the rolls for the wursts, and putting sauerbraten in, with some of the blaukraut – it was a great combo.
I can't thank Karl's Sausage Kitchen (http://www.karlssausage.com/) in Peabody for the amazing wursts. They were made on Wednesday, shipped on Thursday and we received them on Friday. While Peabody isn't that far away, with work and kids, the opportunity to drive to Peabody and peruse and buy and come home was WELL worth the $12 fee for overnighting the sausages to my haus. Granted, that is the price for in-state, but still was truly a blessing and time saver. The person that I spoke with on the telephone helped me narrow down what I was going to get, helped plan the menu with me, and was frankly wonderful. Can't wait for the holidays to get all the Swedish sausages that they make.
We had a great group of people, ages ranged from 5 weeks to "over 40." One of our friends mentioned to his neighbor that he was going to an Oktoberfest celebration, and his neighbor told him of his time spent in Germany, and wondered if there was any way he could join us. Hey – the more the merrier ! So the neighbor and his family joined us, and he made a large portion of German Potato Salad that was and continues to be delicious.
The first guests showed up around 2pm, and the last guests departed at around 9:30pm. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, with friends, family and authentic German cooking.
This just about sums it up:

Hull speed
Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of the boat's bow wave (in displacement mode) is equal to the boat length. As boat speed increases from rest, the wavelength of the bow wave increases, and usually its crest to trough dimension (height) increases as well. When hull speed is reached, a boat in pure displacement mode will appear trapped in a trough behind its very large bow wave.
From a technical perspective, at hull speed the bow and stern waves interfere constructively, creating relatively large waves, and thus a relatively large value of wave drag. Though the term "hull speed" seems to suggest that it is some sort of "speed limit" for a boat, in fact drag for a displacement hull increases smoothly and at an increasing rate with speed as hull speed is approached and exceeded, often with no noticeable inflection at hull speed.
The concept of hull speed is not used in modern naval architecture, where considerations of speed-length ratio or Froude number are considered more helpful.
As a ship moves in the water, it creates standing waves that oppose its movement. This effect increases dramatically in full-formed hulls at a Froude number of about 0.35, which corresponds to a speed-length ratio (see below for definition) of slightly less than 1.20 (this is due to a rapid increase of resistance due to the transverse wave train). When the Froude Number grows to ~0.40 (speed-length ratio about 1.35), the wave-making resistance increases further due to the divergent wave train. This trend of increase in wave-making resistance continues up to a Froude Number of about 0.45 (speed-length ratio about 1.50) and does not reach its maximum until a Froude number of about 0.50 (speed-length ratio about 1.70).
This very sharp rise in resistance at around a speed-length ratio of 1.3 to 1.5 probably seemed insurmountable in early sailing ships and so became an apparent barrier. This leads to the concept of 'hull speed'.
Empirical calculation and speed-length ratio[edit]
Hull speed can be calculated by the following formula:
The constant may be given as 1.34 to 1.51 knot·ft −½ in imperial units (depending on the source), or 4.50 to 5.07 km·h−1·m-½ in metric units.
The ratio of speed to is often called the "speed-length ratio", even though it's a ratio of speed to the square root of length.
Hull design implications[edit]
Wave making resistance depends dramatically on the general proportions and shape of the hull: modern displacement designs that can easily exceed their 'hull speed' without planing include hulls with very fine ends, long hulls with relatively narrow beam and wave-piercing designs. These benefits are commonly realised by some canoes, competitive rowing boats, catamarans, fast ferries and other commercial, fishing and military vessels based on such concepts.
Vessel weight is also a critical consideration: it affects wave amplitude, and therefore the energy transferred to the wave for a given hull length.
Heavy boats with hulls designed for planing generally cannot exceed hull speed without planing. Light, narrow boats with hulls not designed for planing can easily exceed hull speed without planing; indeed, the unfavorable amplification of wave height due to constructive interference diminishes as speed increases above hull speed. For example, world-class racing kayaks can exceed hull speed by more than 100%,[1] even though they do not plane. Semi-displacement hulls are usually intermediate between these two extremes.
Ultra light displacement boats are designed to plane and thereby circumvent the limitations of hull speed.

Vans OTW "Marble" Pack by Zack Schlemmer 0 Comments
Whaaaat? With a jean jacket and proper selection of a top and bottom, these will hit. (I don't wear jean jackets)
March 4, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 1
Primitive proved with their Gourmet Quadici that not only could a Paul Rodriguez-owned shop collaborate with brands outside the Nike, Inc. umbrella, but they could even use a beloved Air Jordan colorway with a sneaker company who'd made its name aping Jays. Their latest is a teamup with Nike SB/P-Rod's biggest competition, and interestingly enough keeps some of that 'borrowing' theme alive thanks to the choice of silhouettes. That's because the Primitive x Vans OTW Bedford has lines strikingly similar to those on the DVS Torey Pudwill they dropped last November. But instead of a tribute to two of California's most enduring symbols, these Bedfords choose to be a symbol of top-notch quality with their mix of pig suede, denim and that peanut butter brown leather everyone's been using for a premium twist this spring.

The Crestwood Local School District currently has to make up four calamity days. The Crestwood Board of Education, last evening, passed a resolution to utilize Blizzard Bags to help offset school days missed this past winter. Blizzard Bags are an option provided by the Ohio Department of Education for school districts to help make up as many as three instructional days during a school year. With the use of Blizzard Bags, the Crestwood Local Schools will only have to make up one day at the end of this school year.
Blizzard Bags are online or take-home lessons that students complete to make up a missed day of school. Assignments will be available online on our individual schools' websites or as "take home" hard copy assignments for your child to complete beginning Monday, April 14. Assignments are due two weeks after they are assigned. For example, the first assignments will be due two weeks from Monday, April 14 which is Friday, April 25. The second assignments will be assigned Monday, April 28 and will be due Friday, May 9. The third assignments will be assigned Monday, May 12 and will be due Friday, May 23.
If you have questions, please contact your child's teacher or the Principal of your child's school. We hope that the use of Blizzard Bags will be beneficial to your child's education and success.
Since one additional day must be added at the end of the year, the last day of school for Crestwood students will now be June 6, 2014.
Congratulations to the March Red Devil Spirit Award Winners!

In order to provide time for professional development for CHS teachers and to facilitate mentoring activities for our freshmen, CHS has implemented several delayed starts during this school year. In order to continue with these initiatives, these delayed starts will be continued throughout the second semester.
This year's sophomore class is the last class that will be taking the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) as a graduation requirement. New sets of assessments have been developed by two different companies based upon the Common Core curriculum that was adopted by the State of Ohio.

Creative commuting (or, more snow talk)
Yesterday, Bus Nerd and I finally accepted that weather/transportation conditions were not going to improve on our timeline and decided to make our way downtown, despite the limited-to-nonexistent bus service and ridiculously treacherous sidewalks in our neighborhood.
The 48 was the only one of our six regular buses that was even running (they don't call it Metro's Heavyweight for nothin'), and the 48 doesn't go anywhere near downtown. We were not deterred. Our options were:

Remove from oven.
Preheat broiler.
Brush fish with honey mixture; broil 7 minutes or until fish is browned and flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
Combine remaining 2 tablespoons juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, oil, and pepper in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until blended. Add arugula; toss gently to coat. Serve salad with fish.
Wine note: Honey intensifies the rich meatiness of salmon in this dish, which requires a clean, crisp wine. I love Havens Albariño 2004 from Napa Valley, California ($24). (Albariño is a Spanish white grape.) -Karen MacNeil
If sage honey isn't available, substitute alfalfa or another light-colored, mild honey. For bolder flavor, try a dark honey, such as gallberry.

Environmental Responsibility
At Outpost, we understand the need to care for the Earth and to fulfill our responsibility to preserve the environment for future generations. It's more than any single program or initiative, it's part of our vision, and it's demonstrated in numerous ways large and small.
Outpost make EPA's Top 30 Retail list
The Top 30 Retail list represents the largest green power users among retail partners within theGreen Power Partnership. The combined green power usage of these organizations amounts to nearly 5.4 billion kilowatt-hours of green power annually, which is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity use of nearly 512,000 average American homes each year. Read the complete list here.
Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council
Outpost participated for the second year at the annual Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council conference, this year held at the fabulous Harley-Davidson Museum. To learn more about the council and/or to see the presentations, visit the conference webpage. Outpost's Sustainability Manager, Jessy Servi, presented on Communicating Sustainability, along with Russ Klisch of Lakefront Brewery and Lee Gordon from Mercury Marine. You can view their presentation here.
Clean Energy
Outpost offsets our energy with clean energy credits sourced in Wisconsin by RePowerNOW.
We now offset our energy with RePowerNow, a Wisconsin Green Energy program which sources energy credits from Wisconsin independently-owned generators of clean energy.
In 2011, our customers filled their own containers with 78,097 gallons of fresh filtered water. How much is that? The equivalent of 624,776 sixteen-ounce bottles of water.
Conserve Resources
Water is a necessity for life, but plastic bottles are a scourge of modern life. Using our in-store water machines has saved a lot of plastic bottles.
Go Organic
Always have. Clean, unadulterated whole foods. But you may be surprised by just how much of it we offer.
Our commitment to organics means providing shoppers with an ever-growing variety of organically-grown products. In 2011, that meant 92% of our produce, 83% of our bulk offerings, more than half of our dairy and more than a quarter of our cheese selections were organic.
Even though there is no municipal requirementto recycle cardboard, we take what we get and compact it and then haul it to a recycling facility. In 2011, we recycled 204 TONS of paper and cardboard!
Reduce Waste
Unfortunately, we get a LOT of cardboard. Fortunately, we RECYCLE it, saving a lot of landfill space.
Green Design
We are committed to using "green" or environmentally safe materials in our stores whenever possible.
Our State Street store is a green building designed form the ground up to be sustainable and perform as efficiently as possible. It takes advantage of natural daylight and utilizes compact fluorescent and LED lighting to reduce energy usage.
We're on a first name basis with a lot of farmers. Outpost carries hundreds of items - from apples to zucchini - from local and regional suppliers and always looks for local suppliers first.
Buy Local
We believe foods tastes better when it's grown close to home!

Large SUVs are similar to full-size pickups in most respects, but in some cases, they offer larger tires and slightly better breakover and departure angles. Only the Ford Excursion offers a diesel option and a solid front-axle design, but the Lexus GX 470, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Land Rover LR3 are good seven-seat options with outstanding trail abilities.Midsize SUVs have a trail-friendly size advantage while maintaining room for five people and cargo. The most capable in this class are also among the most expensive-Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The Hummer H2, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mitsubishi Montero, Nissan Pathfinder, and Toyota 4Runner, however, can all go much further than most of their owners will ever attempt. Likewise, at the luxury end of the spectrum, the Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg, and Volvo XC90 are as at home in Death Valley as Palm Springs. On tight trails, compact utes are desirable for their maneuverability, though they are largely car-based, light-duty designs with modest power. While the CR-V, Santa Fe, RAV4, et al can manage more than you might expect, the Jeep Wrangler is the standout trail machine of this size. The Rubicon version is perhaps the best factory off-road vehicle offered, and starting at $28,000, the most expensive compact, as well.
What to addPrior to selecting any new vehicle, you need to assess how you'll be driving it. "Off-road" is often more "off-highway" driving, on fire roads, trails, and sand dunes, or areas restricted by mandate, common sense, or the Tread Lightly! guidelines. Many people buy a 4WD and go on one trail ride to say they've done it, only to spend the next 35 months with higher payments, insurance premiums, and fuel costs.
Most front-wheel-drive cars and minivans can make it through snow or along a graded dirt or gravel road, and four-wheel drive does not repeal the laws of physics. Only the tires connect your vehicle to the ground, and if none have traction, it doesn't matter what kind of drive system you have. That said, a proper off-road setup can open a world of exploration and recreation, enabling the driver to escape civilization and venture into the wilderness. When selecting and setting up your vehicle, it is important to honestly assess your needs and get the right equipment for the job. If trail riding, camping, and boat launching top your recreation list, then you will likely be pleasantly surprised with the capability and performance offered by the latest 4x4s.

Mitchell Starc, delighted to have the prized scalp of Sachin Tendulkar, said India's great batsmen couldn't be written off based on their performance this tour.
"Any time you get a Test wicket is pretty special, but to get the Little Master is a great feeling," said Starc. "But you never write off champions. What we've done really well is stick to our plans, and not deviate from them. But I'm sure they will look to make up the deficit in the other innings they have in the series."
Asked if he thought it was out, Starc said, smiling, "I appealed, didn't I?" He added that he hadn't seen the replays of the dismissal, but without the DRS it was what it was. (Ball-tracking technology showed the ball would have hit leg-stump).
Starc, who spent time with Wasim Akram at Sydney, said he had spoken to the Pakistani great about consistently swinging the ball.
"It was just a five-minute chat. He's obviously a genius at what he did, and I just spoke to him about wrist position. I read somewhere that it was about reverse swing, but no, it was just wrist position. I hope to catch up with him again later. It can only help me."
Starc said Australia's bowers would look to exploit the cracks on the wicket that had begun to widen under the heat. "I think both sides have found a few cracks in the last two innings, hopefully we can use them to our advantage especially and get a few more wickets early and get stuck into the tail," he said.
Umesh Yadav might have registered the second-best figures by an Indian bowler in Perth — his five for 93 lists below Bishan Bedi's five for 89 in 1977 — but he was understandably disappointed after the second day's play.
"Of course, it's not nice when you take five wickets and your team is behind," said Umesh. "I was just trying to bowl to my areas, and it worked for me. Yesterday [Friday], it was difficult because Warner was hitting the ball when you pitched it up.
"We couldn't bowl where we wanted to. Today [Saturday] we improved and did well."
The 24-year-old said he was impressed with the consistency of Australia's bowlers.
"When you look at how they bowled, they kept putting it in the same areas. That's what I can learn from them," he said.
Asked about the mood in the Indian camp, Umesh said, "It's not anything different. It's still good. We aren't thinking about it [defeat].

Notable in the 2014 list is the first case listed (cases are cited alphabetically), relating to Battle Mountain Sanitarium in Hot Springs, South Dakota. A National Historic Landmark (NHL), the Department of Veterans Affairs is considering a reduction in healthcare services at the facility. As the ACHP must be offered an opportunity to participate whenever the fate of an NHL hangs in the balance, Section 106 is likely to be a critical factor in this case.

All-Natural grass fed cattle free of additives, chemicals, antibiotics, and growth hormones.
Our objective is to provide natural ranch raised beef, "the kind that our families have thrived on for 5 generations." All of our cattle are born on the prairies of South Thurston County in the spring and range free on our acreage.
We believe in being responsible stewards of the land and using sustainable, humane methods. Our sustainable methods include "rotational grazing" along the lush meadows of the Deschutes River, which not only allows us to maintain healthy pastures but also allows our cattle to graze on the most nutrient rich part of the grass

South Africa secure series win over New Zealand
PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa
PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (Reuters) - South Africa completed a 2-0 series win over New Zealand on Monday after thumping the visitors by an innings and 193 runs on the fourth day of the second test.
Fast bowler Dale Steyn claimed innings figures of three for 48 and match figures of eight for 65, as New Zealand were bowled out for 211 in their second innings half an hour before lunch.
New Zealand also lost the first test by an innings after they were bowled out for 45 before lunch on the opening day.
South Africa captain Graeme Smith said that he had been pleased by the standard of cricket his team had played over the series as they strengthened their position as the world's top-ranked test nation.
"We've had to work hard to get into this position and it's nice to keep playing well and it's been a wonderful two test matches for us," Smith said at the post-match presentation.
"They (the wins) were very professional and both were very big wins. A lot of guys contributed and I thought our style of cricket and the way we played was good. Bar a couple of dropped catches in the first test I thought our cricket was of a very high standard.
Dean Brownlie and BJ Watling provided the bulk of New Zealand's runs with a 97-run fifth wicket partnership.
Brownlie brought up his fourth test fifty but after making his way to 53 off 141 balls he edged a delivery from Jacques Kallis to keeper AB de Villiers.
Watling, one of the few positives the Black Caps could take out of the series, recorded his second half-century of the match, scoring 63 off 117 balls with 11 boundaries before he was bowled by a superb delivery from Steyn that pegged back the batsman's off-stump.
Brownlie's dismissal left New Zealand on 182 for five and the advent of the second new ball brought about the departure of Colin Munro (15) 21 runs later when the left-hander was caught at third slip off a delivery from paceman Morne Morkel.
Steyn followed up Watling's dismissal by having Doug Bracewell (0) caught by a diving Alviro Petersen at third slip before Morkel got Trent Boult (3) caught at point.
Steyn wrapped the series up by having Neil Wagner (4) caught by De Villiers.
New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum conceded his team had been inferior to the Proteas.
"We knew coming in to this series that is was going to be tough playing against the number one side in the world. We will learn a lot of lessons from this. We were well short of the mark and we were exposed.
"We wanted to come here and compete...but South Africa showed their class and we weren't quite up to the mark," he said.
A three-match one-day international series between the two countries starts in Paarl on January 19.

"At this stage of the legal process, it is inappropriate to discuss the charges," Lewis said, "The case will be followed closely and any action, if necessary, will be taken at the appropriate time."
The university was informed of James Edgar Adams' arrest during Memorial Day weekend at Lake Nasworthy by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department at the time of its occurence, Lewis said.
"University human resources policies were followed and continue to be followed in responding to the allegations," he said.
Adams, 47, was booked into the Tom Green County Jail on the day of his arrest and was released the following day on a $1,000 bond.
TPWD Lt. Jason Huebner said a game warden pulled over a man operating a Jet Ski by Veterans Memorial Bridge, near Knickerbocker Road, after the driver allegedly created a wake in a no-wake zone.
After the man was brought to shore and given the procedural 15-minute wait period, officials conducted standard field sobriety tests, similar to those administered for suspicions of driving while intoxicated.
The driver of the Jet Ski refused a Breathalyzer, according to Huebner, and no blood was drawn because no one was injured.
Adams was hired in January 2002 as chief of the ASU Police Department, which currently has 15 employees. He could not be reached for comment via telephone or email Friday.
BWI is a class B misdemeanor punishable by confinement in jail up to 180 days and a fine up to $2,000.

This keyboard needs more attention given to it IMHO. Among the long list of features this keyboard is packaged extremely well and I think it would make a good unboxing video. Just an idea.
Topic URL: http://forums.ncix.com/forums/topic.php?id=2572310
here is an unboxing from a NCIX customer :P
There's even a "that's what she said" in there so you know it has the refined Linus humor on its side.
This keyboard looks amazing! I was thinking of waiting for the G710 from logitech to come in stock, but i think i'll actually be taking this keyboard instead. The only question i would have is if the wrist rest could be detached (i usually hate them XD)? And for 20$ less, i'll even be saving a bit of money :P
This Keyboard is amazing! Yes the wrist rest can be removed. The only thing that should be made available as an option is the choice of Cherry keys. Personally the reds that are used are great. Others I know, especially those that are particular about their keyboards, will want the option to use other keys.
By the way, thanks Coach for this thread, as had you not made it, i would have probably never found out about this keyboard. I just made up my mind and decided to buy it ^^. It should arrive this week, can't wait!
your welcome! I am not sure why Linus and Slick have not made any mention of this keyboard because they are both mechanical keyboard guys (aside from the fact that they are both busy and do not get to everything). I mean this keyboard is completely matte in finish and Slick would appreciate that. It is backlit, all keys are mechanical, usb 3.0 etc etc. In fact, AFAIK this is only one of a very few mechanical keyboards that offer a usb 3.0 port! So ya, as everyone can tell I love this board and I am glad that bringing attention to it has helped someone decide to buy it.This message was modified by the poster at 11 25, 2012 01:15 PM
yea i totally aggree with linus doing an unboxing video. i bought this keyboard yesterday at the vancouver store. i walked around and took look and feel of all the keyboards on display. i planned on either purchasing the k60 or k90 but the second i saw it in person i changed my mind right away. those keyboards are cheapppppppppppp same thing with alot of other ones. the build quality of this gigabyte osmium is much better. the thing wieghs over 1 kg, that alone tells you that its built like a tank. hands down this is probably the best keyboard out there and i price matched it at $112 too which was a bonus
Yeah i live in Australia and i bought this keyboard late november and i absolutely love it! Best Keyboard in the world imo. Whats not to love, Cherry MX Reds, USB3.0, extremely rigid design, sexy looks, n-key rollover, gold plated ports, thick braided cord, 5 gaming keys, software, macro programmable keys. And Linus DEFINITELY needs to unbox this bad boyy. I want to see his reaction :D
Anyone having the 'key bounce' issue? http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Gigabytes-Osmium-Keyboard-Great-Design-Flawed-Execution/ If not, I'm definitely leaning towards getting this keyboard.
I'm not having that issue at all, however I imagine it all depends on your typing style.
I wouldn't say there is an issue with key bounce, but rather it has Red MX switches that are mounted pretty high and have a very light touch. I have this board and find I don't use it much as for me it is not a good all around board and I tend to stick with a Brown switch Filco. Much easier to type. One thing you might want to check out is the new Logitech G710 with the damped Brown switches. I've used it as well and it's pretty nice feel except that it's really ugly and looks like it was designed by 12 year olds on Ritalin.
I bought this keyboard not quite a month ago, and I have not had the "key bounce" issue described (I have had other issues though, so I would still recommend against this keyboard, but not for that reason.) When I first got this keyboard, there was a firmware update for it, v94, which for some reason now doesn't seem to be available for download on Gigabyte's site. I installed it right away when I got it. Perhaps that issue was fixed with the firmware. I believe you can still get the firmware if you post for help on Gigabyte's Aivia troubleshooting forums: http://www.aivia.gigabyte.com/ I have a feeling they removed the firmware for general usage because people were messing up the firmware installation, and causing the keyboard to be bricked, so they only give it out when someone complains about a specific problem the firmware addresses.This message was modified by the poster at 02 26, 2013 09:10 AM
I was going to get this until I heard about some of the various issues. Went with the CM Storm Trigger instead with MX Browns and loving it. Couple of my friends have the cheaper Cooler Master model and they're top notch as well, the Quickfire TK. Wrist wrest can be quite useful on mechanical keyboards, which tend to rise much higher off the desk to accommodate for the mechanics.

The decision of the Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) to start a Telugu course has come in for criticism by the Aiwane Fankar, Bazme Froge Urdu, A.P and Radio and Television Artist Guild.
At a meeting held here recently, members of these organisations said the move would dilute the Urdu character of the university and it would end up being a centre for imparting different languages.
In a statement, Javeed Kamal, M.Q. Saleem and Moin Amar Bamboo, said the Vice-Chancellor's decision to impart Telugu language on the suggestion of the Union HRD Minister was intended to please the State and Central governments. If the government was sincere it should also think of starting Urdu teaching in the Telugu University.
They regretted that right from its inception the Urdu University was caught in controversy.

@KoiwiGal - Remember that this only applies to cardio or strength workouts. You can still do static stretching for flexibility based workouts, and actually incorporate it into the workout. Although dynamic stretching might be the better option there as well, since it has a more vigorous movement and so it burns more calories.
I guess a martial arts class is basically all made up of dynamic stretching and kicking and moves like that and they are supposed to be really good for you.

Quirky News
The man who wants to live life as a dog
A US man who wants to be a dog says he spends his days running around on all fours, eating food out of a bowl, and chasing cars.
Gary Matthews, 47, an unemployed IT technician in Pittsburgh, dons a shaggy dog costume each day to become his alter ego, Boomer.
He also sleeps inside a giant kennel which he keeps inside his more traditional human home, reports the Huffington Post.
Mr Matthews says it was the Disney comedy, The Shaggy DA, that first gave him the idea of living as a dog.
At first, he named himself after Pongo, from 101 Dalmatians, but changed his cannine name after becoming a fan of a TV show called Here's Boomer at the age of 12.
"I looked up to Here's Boomer and picked up some of his personality and behaviours," he said.
"When I bark, what you hear is the result of listening to my TV tapes and learning Boomer's voice from the soundtrack.
"Things like that have combined with my personality to make me a better dog."

Done with another week of work, so hopefully I can wrap up this project this weekend. I just picked up my shiny new (full) 20# co2 tank and will be putting it to use to carbonate a batch of brown ale. I dont recall if I posted this yet, but I used a roll on appliance epoxy to paint the fridge. I also determined that the smell was, in fact, coming from the rotting grain in my green waste can. I pretty much took everything apart and found that it was clean and dry. The can was within 3' of where I was working and when I lifted the lid I discovered the problem. One of the previous replies showed several pictures of the gas and faucet set up. I'm wanting to store the gas bottle outside the fridge and run a bulkhead through the side or back. I figured I'd do it the same way that I built my cooler mash tun...use a brass nipple with some washers and barbed adapters on either side. Is there anything I should be aware of when drilling holes in the main body of the fridge? I obviously dont want to drill through something critical, and I'm not completely familiar with the inner workings of a fridge. Thanks again for the help!
here's some before and after pics, or before and during...
I dont think you can see in the pic's but there are some blemishes in the paint. There's a few spots where the crust from the roller stuck in the paint, and a few spots where you can see a line where the paint went on extra thick. I used a foam roller and applied two coats. I had enough left out of a quart can to probably do one more coat on the doors and maybe another coat on the sides. I decided that I don't need concourse quality, so I'm calling it good. If I wanted to really step it up, I would have wet sanded and done one more coat.
My kegerator is nearly done! I decided to put it in the kitchen and was surprised to see that it's actually a little bigger than my regular fridge! I havent figured out the best way to post the pic's, so I'll explain first: I made new handles for the fridge out of oak. I made a "Bulkhead" (for lack of a better term) for the co2. I used a 1/4" mpt x 3" long brass nipple with barb fittings on either side and a few washers. If anyone is planning on doing this, the wall thickness on the side of my fridge was 2-1/4". I had no idea it would be that thick, so I had to go back to the store for a longer nipple The co2 manifold is mounted to a piece of plywood and screwed to the racks on the back of the fridge. I made a plywood base to help better support and distribute the weight of the full kegs. For that I used 3/4". I got a 2'x4' piece rather than a full 4x8 and it was plenty. I covered the top of the base with a plastic/rubber non-slip mat. I used spray adhesive for the mat, but the adhesive was for upholsterey and it didn't work very well (it was all I had and didnt want to buy another can) I centered the faucets as best I could on the hole that was already there. I put them pretty close because I anticipate adding at least one more faucet, perhaps two or three. I made cardboard templates to represent a keg footprint; I should be able to get 5, and 6 seems possible. (Of course that would mean another co2 manifold or a couple of Y fittings. All I have left to do is finish the drip tray. For that I'm using a piece of vinyl rain gutter and I will make an oak trim for it to match the handles. Here it is:
Did you take any pictures of the back (co2 rack)?
And now you see that Evil will always triumph, because Good is dumb!
I'll probably end up putting a longer line from the "bulkhead" to the manifold on the inside of the fridge. It need a little more slack to be pushed out of the way to make room for more kegs.
Ahhh At first I was going to suggest some sort of rack to hold the bottle on the back so it is out of sight in the kitchen. I see now that it is already against the wall. Maybe you can build a wooden cover to sit down over the bottle and "sexy" it up a bit?
