Mixing the ingredients
The way you blend the ingredients is crucial: under-beating can lead to a lumpy mixture, over-beating can whip in too much air. This can result in uneven cooking, bubbles, and cracking.
Keep everything at room temperature
Keep everything at room temperature. To avoid lumps and ensure even mixing without over-beating, it is essential to have the soft cheese at room temperature before starting. Ideally, let it come to room temperature in its pack for 2 hours. If you're short of time, cut the soft cheese into chunks and leave to soften for 1 hour. It also helps to have a tabletop mixer with a powerful motor. But if you don't have one, a hand-held mixer works fine.
- Position an oven shelf in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. Line the base of a 23cm springform cake tin with parchment paper. For the crust, melt the butter in a medium pan. Stir in the biscuit crumbs and sugar so the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack while preparing the filling.
- For the filling, increase the oven temperature to fan 200C/conventional 240C/gas 9. In a table top mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the soft cheese at medium-low speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, gradually add the sugar, then the flour and a pinch of salt, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the paddle twice.
- Swap the paddle attachment for the whisk. Continue by adding the vanilla, lemon zest and juice. Whisk in the eggs and yolk, one at a time, scraping the bowl and whisk at least twice. Stir the 284ml carton of soured cream until smooth, then measure 200ml/7fl oz (just over 3⁄4 of the carton). Continue on low speed as you add the measured soured cream (reserve the rest). Whisk to blend, but don't over-beat. The batter should be smooth, light and somewhat airy.
- Brush the sides of the springform tin with melted butter and put on a baking sheet. Pour in the filling - if there are any lumps, sink them using a knife - the top should be as smooth as possible. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to fan 90C/conventional 110C/gas 1⁄4 and bake for 25 minutes more. If you gently shake the tin, the filling should have a slight wobble. Turn off the oven and open the oven door for a cheesecake that's creamy in the centre, or leave it closed if you prefer a drier texture. Let cool in the oven for 2 hours. The cheesecake may get a slight crack on top as it cools.
- Combine the reserved soured cream with the 142ml carton, the sugar and lemon juice for the topping. Spread over the cheesecake right to the edges. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Run a round-bladed knife around the sides of the tin to loosen any stuck edges. Unlock the side, slide the cheesecake off the bottom of the tin onto a plate, then slide the parchment paper out from underneath.

Comments, questions and tips
After reading the comments, I opted for slightly more biscuit than recipe suggested (around 250g), but with keeping the butter and sugar the same. For the main 'cheese' of the cake, I also used 800g of cream cheese instead of 900g but added 300ml sour cream. The cheesecake is rather tall, so you can easily get away with less cream cheese mixture if you prefer.
The cheesecake went rather well, the biscuit base was a good thickness, but got slightly soggy in parts due to the baking parchment, which I may omit next time as it seems unnecessary if the tin is greased sufficiently.
The cheese itself came out a very good consistency, fluffy and not too moist, but not dry either. The cheese mix set nicely in my fan oven (at 20 degrees less than specified in the recipe) and for the exact suggested baking times. When I took it out of the oven after the second, longer cooler bake, it was still slightly wobbly but this did firm up after another 2 hours in the oven (off, but door shut) and an overnight stint in the fridge. The top of the cheese had ever so slightly caught on one side but otherwise looked good. I recommend running a knife round the circumference of the cheese at this stage, before putting it back in the oven, as this will help guard against cracks. I still got one little crack in the top of mine, but I covered this up with a mango coulis (arrowroot + fruit purée + sugar).
This is an easy and fairly foolproof recipe, unlike other cheesecakes I've tried before.
Here are some tips I have learnt from my own cheesecake failures:
It is important to bake the cheesecake gently and be patient - if in doubt err on the side of lower heat and longer as too hot a temperature can curdle the cheese.
Don't worry if the cheese seems too wobbly when you take it out of the oven, it can firm up a lot while cooling.
It's also important not to overbeat the cream cheese or eggs, so try to mix until the ingredients are just incorporated.
If the biscuit base isn't pressed securely enough into the tin, this can cause it to crumble, so try to compact this as much as possible (easier said than done!)
Delicious cheesecake. After reading comments below, I increased the amount of biscuits by 50% but left the butter at the same level and omitted the sugar. I also scaled down the cheesecake mixture by a third. Everyone loved it. I served it with fresh raspberries and blueberries and a raspberry coulis. Will definitely make it again.
Best recipe I have ever tried. Has never let me down. Mind you, it used to be tricky because my old oven couldn't do low temperatures and I had to constantly take the tin in and out of the oven. Ten years on and I have upgraded the kitchen, so no more juggling baking sheets. But still the best cake ever!
This recipe is great, everyone I've made it for has loved it. I agree the recipe is slightly confusing, I have tried to make it clearer on my blog http://www.curlyscooking.co.uk/?p=1209
Results: worked really well, very nice. Base a bit wet. Pleased with my first baking cake experience.
Should say for the filling: 200ml of soured cream.
Instructions for base were a bit all over the place took me ages to realise I needed to transfer base from pot to tin, then bake, not bake in the pot. I nearly ruined it at that point.
I followed the instructions exactly. I use my wife's magimix 4400 with the beating/whisking attachment at all times and it just worked.
Removing the cake from the tin wasnt happening very well. I couldnt fit the round knife down the side of the tin without pushing the greese proof paper/parchment paper down as well. So I just unclipped the tin and pulled the paper away, that worked. The paper under the cake wasnt sliding anyway, so i just transfer the bottom of the tin onto a plate and cut it from there.
Even though I used 240g of biscuit base (i increased the butter and sugar proportionately too), the base was still wet in some areas. Next time I'll not increase butter and sugar.
I found this recipe quite confusing to follow, the instructions aren't very clear! However the cheesecake turned out really nice, it's the first time I've tried a baked cheesecake.. I over-whipped it so there were a few cracks at the top but I still managed to cut it into pieces fine and it didn't affect the consistency :-)
By far the best recipe I've ever tried. It is time consuming but so worth it!! I doubled the biscuit base the first time I made it and it was a little thick. 240g of digestives works well if you don't want it too thick but want it a little thicker than the 140g will give you. This has gone down an absolute treat every time I've made it and like many of, it's now requested on a regular basis!
Delicious and tasted very authentic. Other half said perfect!
I did over beat and had 3 craters but did not affect the taste at all and did not break up as not too deep.
I doubled the base but infact was a little thick, next time will increase from recipe but not double.
I did add an extra half teaspoon of vanilla and cut half the lemon zest, but next time may stick to the recipe.
Followed a tip from another reviewer to put egg white on the base, then baked to prevent a soggy bottom, worked perfectly.
All in all, lovely! Try it!
yummy cheese cake... this one best suits for birthday cakes, any occasion cakes. Can't wait to taste it
Great cheesecake. I doubled the base as suggested by others and the rest I followed as per instructions. I did actually cook a little longer as mine looked very wobbly. It was still not set after the 2 hours with oven door closed but perfect after refrigerating overnight. So on reflection I wonder if I really needed to cook longer or not.
Byway it was a success and everyone enjoyed it!
Fantastic recipe. I made this when we had some folks over in early Jan. They're coming again this weekend and have requested that I make it again (usually we all prefer to try something different). Totally agree with everybody who says double the biscuit quantity (I did take their advice and it was quickly obvious 140g would not have worked). Taste and texture were terrific.
I found the wording of the recipe very complicated. Paragraphs 1 and 4 are really not clear (at least for a beginner like me).
Also, I was very surprised as the overnight cooling appears only at the end of the recipe... Would be useful to state it at the top of the recipe in order to avoid desert failure if friends are coming over the same day!
That said, the result is perfect, even using only a hand whisk and even though I left it for too long in the oven (at 100°C).
I had a smaller tin (18 cm) so I used 2/3 of the ingredient, apart from the base for which I kept the initial quantity of biscuits.
The texture is great, but I may add some more vanilla or lemon next time.

FarmVille Full Review
By Ange Perdu
FarmVille is one of the most popular 2D virtual farming simulation games featured on Facebook. In this game players enter the world of farming. Plant a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and flowers. Wait for them to grow and harvest. The main objective is to build a massive farm fully equipped with livestock and farming machinery. Players select profitable crops and compete in friendly farming challenges to earn coins for upgrades. This addictive farming game has multiple features, an assortment of cool customizations, and a virtual pet option for players to enjoy while watching their crops grow.
Life as a Farmer – the Gameplay
Farming and the mastery of crops is a major part of the gameplay in FarmVille. Each crop has a set time for harvest. Whether it's a couple of hours or a few days farmers must be ready to reap. All plowing, planting, and harvesting are performed by maneuvering the mouse over the desired area and clicking. This point-and-click process can become somewhat boring at times depending on how large your plot of land is. Luckily, you're on Facebook and can chat with friends while grinding. There's a nice variety of crops for players to choose from. They include wheat, strawberries, cotton, rice, eggplants, peanuts, artichokes, daffodils, cranberries, morning glory, Aloe Vera, red tulips, coffee, patty pan squash, and green tea. All crops have three levels of mastery. A farmer must plant and harvest an allotted amount of that crop to move on to the next level of mastery. It may sound simple but most crops require 2000 or more harvests to reach one level.
Another feature in FarmVille is their Co-op farming. This option lets users join forces with their fellow farmers to complete a specific quest. Players work together to grow rice to make paper, red tulips for wedding décor, grapes for a school trip lunch, or tomatoes for the country fair game. Each farmer plants as much of the crop on their farm and all the harvest are combined together in order to reach the set amount for each job challenge. If completed on or before the deadline players receive a medal of gold, silver, or bronze which comes with additional coins and XP.
Dude, Will You Fertilize My Crops for Me?
Similar to other MMO's and Facebook game applications FarmVille integrates social interaction throughout the gameplay. Players can help out at a neighbor's farm, assist in collecting items, and earn reward ribbons in the process. When a farmer visits a friend's farm sometimes they're in need of assistance. A message pops up asking if they'd like to help stop mischievous raccoons from ransacking the farm, scare away troublesome crows, or foxes. Clicking accept automatically eliminates the furry creatures. There's not much to it. On the side of the screen will appear bags of fertilizer. Fertilizing neighbors' crops can earn valuable coinage and XP. The favor is usually reciprocated.
In FarmVille there is a Collections feature. Players will randomly find collectibles while plowing, harvesting, or fertilizing friends' crops. Holding the mouse over a particular collectible icon will disclose hints. There are five collection sets consisting of gardening tools, country kitchen, bugs, butterfly, and feathers. Certain collectibles are only available as a gift friends send. When an entire set is collected players have the option to cash it in for a reward of XP, coins, and fuel. Special features like these require players to rely on other neighbors for help. If your friends are fellow FarmVille addicts it's a lot of fun. If they're not it may take a long time for users to accomplish challenges. When tasks are completed users earn ribbons with bonus coins for efforts.
Around the Barnyard Pass the Chicken Coop
You can't have a farm without livestock and the infamous chicken coop. In FarmVille farmers have the ability to purchase animals like sheep, chickens, pigs, and long eared rabbits. There's also a selection of more exotic creatures including an Indian elephant, white tiger, and valley quail. If you click on the animal a drop down menu of options will appear. Players can collect from them, move, sell, allow roaming, or pet them. Most of the livestock in this virtual world produce something. Users can collect truffles from pigs, milk from cows, wool from sheep, and even peanuts from elephants. Each time you collect from one of your livestock coins are earned. Another fun feature in FarmVille is their pet option. Players can buy an adorable puppy. Feed it kibble for 14 days and watch it grow. When it reaches adulthood the canine can perform cool tricks and help out around the farm. The virtual pet option is actually a lot of fun. The only downside to owning a dog in FarmVille is that the kibble prices are outrageous! If you don't have enough mullah to buy food for two weeks forget about it. Hungry pups run away and you have to pay to bring them back.
Good Friends or FarmCash
The large assortment of decorations and specialty items give players an incredible amount of customization in FarmVille. Users can enjoy the freedom of creating their own virtual farm world. Place garden fountains, fruit stands, potted plants, doves, signs, lakes, bonsai trees, colored fences, scarecrows, gnomes, topiary, a band stage, add tall grass, your country flag, or even put a giant boulder in the middle of a field. It's completely up to you. In FarmVille most of the really cool items like an extravagant Taj Mahal, pet Border collie, and a personal arborists to harvest your trees for you cost FarmCash. FarmCash can be purchased with real money or randomly earned. To build, expand, or upgrade buildings it costs FarmCash or some really good friends. In order to establish a horse stable player must collect material items like bricks, horseshoes, harnesses, wooden boards, and nails as gifts from friends. This involves a heavy amount of begging also known as spamming your fellow Facebook pals. To add more storage capacity to barn users need to help 10 friends within a three day time period for expansion.
Final Verdict: Great
FarmVille isn't one of the most popular games on Facebook for nothing. There are more farmers on FarmVille than there are real farmers in the U.S. This addictive farming simulation game allows players to test their agricultural skills like no other. Whether Co-op farming with friends, harvesting sugar cane, collecting butterflies, painting a stable, or teaching a dog new tricks there's always something to do in FarmVille. It's a challenging game that is constantly upgrading keeping the gameplay interesting. Despite the mandatory spamming FarmVille is loads of fun.

Pots, tubs, and half barrels overflowing with flowers add appeal to any garden, but container gardens can serve a practical purpose too. Gardening in containers is ideal for those with little or no garden space. In addition to growing flowers, gardeners limited to a balcony, small yard, or only a patch of sun on their driveway can produce a wide variety of vegetable crops in containers. Basil, chives, thyme, and other herbs also are quite happy growing in pots, which can be set in a convenient spot right outside the kitchen door.
Container plants also add versatility to gardens large and small. They lend instant color, provide a focal point in the garden, or tie in the architecture of the house to the garden. Place them on the ground or on a pedestal, mount them on a windowsill, or hang them from your porch. A pair of matching containers on either side of the front walk serves as a welcoming decoration, while containers on a deck or patio can add color and ambiance to such outdoor sitting areas. You can use single large containers for outdoor decoration, but also consider arranging groups of pots, both small and large, on stairways, terraces, or anywhere in the garden. Clusters of pots can contain a collection of favorite plants—hen-and-chicks (Sempervivum spp.) or herbs used both for ornament and for cooking, for example—or they may feature annuals, dwarf evergreens, perennials, or any other plants you'd like to try. Houseplants summering outdoors in the shade also make a handsome addition to container gardens. Window boxes and hanging baskets offer even more ways to add instant color and appeal.
Containers planted with a single species—rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) or a bold variegated ornamental grass, for example—can be stunning garden accents. Containers planted with a mix of plants are fun to create and offer almost unlimited possibilities of combinations. The best combinations depend on plants that feature handsome foliage and flowers produced over a long bloom season. One easy guideline for choosing the plants to combine in a container is to include "a thriller, a spiller, and a filler." That translates to at least one focal-point plant (the thriller), such as coleus or a geranium with multicolored leaves, for example, combined with several plants that spill over the edge of the pots—such as petunias, bacopa (Bacopa spp.), creeping zinnias (Sanvitallia procumbens), or ornamental sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas 'Blackie'). Finally, add the fillers, which are plants with smaller leaves and flowers that add color and fill in the arrangement all season long. Good fillers include salvias (Salvia spp.), verbenas (Verbena spp.), ornamental peppers (Capsicum spp.), and wax begonias (Begonia semperflorens) as well as foliage plants like parsley or licorice plants (Helichrysum spp.). You may also want to include a plant for height, such as an ornamental grass like purple fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Purpureum'). Add a trellis or pillar to a container and you can use a vine to add height to the composition. You'll need a total of five or six plants for an 18- or 24-inch container, for example.
Choosing Containers
Pots and planters come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, materials, and styles. You can also modify everyday containers such as bowls or barrels to be planters.
Size: When choosing a container, keep in mind that it's easier to grow plants in large containers than small ones. That's because large containers hold more soil, which stays moist longer and is less subject to rapid temperature fluctuations. Small hanging baskets are especially prone to drying out, and during hot summer weather, you may have to water them twice a day to keep plants alive.
It's also important to decide what plant you want to grow in each container. Several factors help determine how large and deep the container must be. Consider the size and shape of a plant's root system; whether it is a perennial, annual, or shrub; and how rapidly it grows. Rootbound plants, which have filled up every square inch of the soil available, dry out rapidly and won't grow well. Choose a large pot or tub for a mixed planting, one that will offer enough root space for all the plants you want to grow. Light-colored containers keep the soil cooler than dark containers.
The maximum size (and weight) of a container is limited by how much room you have, what will support it, and whether or not you plan to move it. If your container garden is located on a balcony or deck, be sure to check how much weight the structure will safely hold.
Drainage: Whatever container you choose, drainage holes are essential. Without drainage, soil will become waterlogged and plants may die. The holes need not be large, but there must be enough so that excess water can drain out. If a container has no holes, try drilling some yourself. A container without holes is best used as a cachepot, or cover, to hide a plain pot. Cachepots (with holes and without them) are useful for managing large plants and heavy pots: Grow your plant in an ordinary nursery pot that fits inside a decorative cachepot so you can move them separately.
Self-watering, double-walled containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes are available. These are a useful option for dealing with smaller plants that need frequent watering.
Materials: Each type of container has merits and disadvantages:
Preparing Your Containers
Since containers are heavy once they are filled with soil, decide where they will be located and move them into position before filling and planting. If keeping them watered during the day is a problem, look for sites that receive morning sun and are shaded during the hottest part of the day, even if you are growing plants for full sun. Afternoon shade will reduce the amount of moisture plants need.
While your containers must have drainage holes, it's not necessary to cover the holes with pot shards or gravel before you add potting mix. The covering won't improve drainage, and pot shards may actually block the holes. Instead, prevent soil from washing out by placing a layer of paper towel or newspaper over the holes before adding mix. If your container is too deep, you can put a layer of gravel or Styrofoam in the bottom to reduce the amount of potting soil required.
Plain garden soil is too dense for container plantings. For containers up to 1 gallon in size, use a houseplant soil mixture; see the Houseplants entry for a recipe. For larger containers, use a relatively coarse soilless planting mixture to maintain the needed water and air balance. Buy a commercial planting mix or make your own from equal parts of compost, pulverized pine or fir bark, and perlite or vermiculite. For each cubic foot of mix add 4 ounces of dolomitic limestone, 1 pound of rock phosphate or colloidal phosphate, 4 ounces of greensand, 1 pound of granite dust, and 2 ounces of blood meal.
Many of the components of potting soil are lightweight, dust-producing materials that can irritate your eyes, skin, and lungs. In particular, vermiculite can contain low levels of asbestos; compost and peat moss can contain mold spores. When you mix potting soil, observe the following precautions:
You may want to mix in one of the special super-absorbent polymers—synthetic substances that hold large amounts of water available for plants. They will improve water availability without making the soil soggy. While these products are not naturally occurring substances, they appear to be inert and to have no toxic breakdown products.
Premoisten soil either by watering it before you fill containers or by flooding the containers with water several times and stirring. Be sure the soil is uniformly moist before planting.
Plant in containers as you would in the garden. If you are planting a mixed container, ignore spacing requirements and plant densely; you will need to prune plants once they fill in. For trees and shrubs, trim off any circling roots and cover the root ball to the same level as it was set at the nursery. Firm the planter mixture gently and settle by watering thoroughly. Don't fill pots level to the top with soil mixture—leave space for watering.
Selecting Plants
Almost any vegetable, flower, herb, shrub, or small tree can grow successfully in a container. Dwarf and compact cultivars are best, especially for smaller pots. Select plants to suit the climate and the amount of sun or shade the container will receive. If you are growing fragrant plants, such as heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens), place containers in a site protected from breezes, which will disperse the perfume.
Use your imagination, and combine upright and trailing plants, edibles, and flowers for pleasing and colorful effects. Container gardens can be enjoyed for one season and discarded, or designed to last for years. When designing permanent containers, remember that the plants will be less hardy than usual because their roots are more exposed to fluctuating air temperature. Nonhardy plants will need to have winter protection or be moved to a sheltered space. So consider how heavy the container will be and decide how you will move it before choosing a nonhardy plant.
Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Vegetables and herbs. You can grow vegetables in individual containers—from large pots to 5-gallon buckets or half barrels, the largest of which will accommodate a single tomato plant or several smaller vegetables such as broccoli or cabbage. Dwarf or bush forms of larger vegetables such as tomatoes, pumpkins, and winter squash are most suited to container culture. Theme gardens also are fun to try. Plant a salad garden with colorful lettuces, dwarf tomatoes, chives, and parsley. Or perhaps try a pizza garden, with different types of basil, plus tomatoes and peppers. Or plant a container with edible flowers such as marigolds, pansies (Viola × wittrockiana), and nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus).
Annuals. For containers that remain attractive all summer long, look for warm-weather annuals that bloom all summer or have foliage that remains attractive. Geraniums, marigolds, wax begonias, coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides), scarlet sage (Salvia splendens), and flowering tobaccos (Nicotiana spp.) are all good choices, but you will find many, many more in garden centers and seed catalogs. Experiment, and if one plant doesn't work out, don't worry about it—just cut it down and try something else. For large containers, dwarf cannas and dwarf dahlias also make satisfying additions.
Perennials and shrubs. Containers planted with hardy perennials and shrubs can be grown and enjoyed from year to year. Hostas and daylilies are great container plants, but many other perennials work as well. Try ferns, European wild ginger (Asarum europaeum), sedges (Carex spp.), lavender, lamiums (Lamium maculatum), sedums, and lungworts (Pulmonaria spp.). Ornamental grasses are great in containers, too, as are dwarf conifers and small shrubs.
Caring for Container Plants
Water container plants thoroughly. How often depends on many factors such as weather, plant size, and pot size. Don't let soil in containers dry out completely, as it is hard to rewet. To keep large containers attractive, spread a layer of mulch as you would in the garden. This will also help retain moisture. Be sure to keep mulch an inch or so away from plant stems.
Container plants need regular feeding. Fertilize them by watering with diluted fish emulsion, seaweed extract, or compost tea. Or foliar feed by spraying the leaves with doubly diluted preparations of these solutions. Start by feeding once every 2 weeks; adjust the frequency depending on plant response.
Since containers are focal points in the garden, you will probably want to give them special attention to keep them looking their best. Remove tattered leaves and deadhead spent flowers. Prune back plants that get leggy or stop blooming. To keep mixed pots attractive, dig out or cut back any plants that don't grow well or that clash. You can add something else or let other plants in the container fill the space. Keep an eye out for pests like aphids and mites.

text: Dudes, what is it like to surf in rain? I hear there is expected rain over one inch tomorrow. Is this mostly for hardcore surfers or will I be alright? Also a dude wants to meet at 5 pm, that is near dusk...any safety concerns with gray suits this time of day inshore? Yesterday I saw a boatload of sardines jumping near me at the line up and it creeped me out a little. Then I remembered someone here said they can smell fear like a dog so I just calmly turned my board toward shore, as I hummed to myself, paddling smoothly in. That was just after 4 pm. And yes, I know I'm in their house but I like to know odds are not going to be in their favor to snack on me...ever!

Whelp, wasted my other knee first trip skiing this year. Pretty bummed as I was starting to feel like I was progressing at Wakeboarding finally. Been laying in bed the past few days after surgery and its really starting to sink in.
Both knees are crap now and I'm looking for any good knee brace companies. Currently looking at custom CTi braces now, anyone have any experience with any other brands? I had an EVS and destroyed it. I'm very active with boarding, motocross, skiing, hunting, surfing, etc so the brace has got to be well rounded (water and dirt) for anything really. Let me know.

sorry to hear about the knee problems, unfortunately I am all to familiar. I have a Townsend and a DONJOY
Townsend was provided after my second surgery and the DONJOY after my third.
I like the Townsend for the water as it's not as bulky and fancy. I use the DONJOY at work mostly and anything that doesn't get me to dirty, wet, or sweaty. trying to keep the DONJOY serviceable for as long as I can. Both were paid for by insurance as they were work related injuries, wouldn't want to be on the hook for either of these out of my own bank account, if I remember right the DONJOY was in the 2K range

I had a donjoy used it for two and a half years after my surgery. I used it for wakeboarding snowboarding and riding quads and dirt bikes and exercising.
If you get on you use in the water ask for the sleeve that goes over it. I about lost my donjoy boarding and a friend lost his CTi barefooting behind my boat.
the only bad part on my donjoy was the straps were connected with a metal piece and it rusted over time.
The nice part I order new padding every year. and it was about $50 but it was worth it after riding in the river all summer. I still have mine but do not use it any more it was hard to quite using it but It is nice not dragging it everywhere I went.

Re: Toasted my summer that hasn't even started yet
I have the CTI with the aws straps, seems like most pros wear the CTI custom, get the neoprene sleeve to prevent any slipping. I cut up an old wet suit.. I looked into getting a custom, however the cost was $$$$, when I called CTI the rep said there's not much difference between the ots and custom, unless you have really big/small calves..
The best thing I've found for rehab is the indo board for rehab. That thing kills my vmo muscle. Hopefully I won't fall of it and break my neck..

Great info guys, I'll look into those braces as well. Going to try and have the insurance pay for two braces. I don't have many parts left to cannibalize for my knees. I'm pretty sure they'll fund one, not so sure about the other, I might just have to bite the bullet on that one. These injuries have ridiculous recovery times. Oh well, nothing I can do now other than try to prevent it from happening again. Thanks again for the info.

Make sure you rehab both knee, probably why you tore the second one.

Underwater color photography was born with this shot of a hogfish, photographed off the Florida Keys in the Gulf of Mexico by Dr. William Longley and National Geographic staff photographer Charles Martin in 1926. Equipped with cameras encased in waterproof housing and pounds of highly explosive magnesium flash powder for underwater illumination, the pair pioneered underwater photography.

Blogging Pitfalls: How to Make Your Blog Load Fast
Bloggers often times refer to their blogs as if they were human beings with their own personalities. But while bloggers usually want their blogs to be intellectuals filled with interesting and useful knowledge or entertainers that can keep passer-bys engaged, we don't pay nearly as much attention to our site's physical health, let alone its athletic performance.
The truth is that blogs are a lot like people in another way, they tend to become bloated and out of shape over time. This can happen quickly, often times with just the installation of one plugin, or gradually over time as feature creep begins to drag a site down.
But also as with humans, this extra weight can have serious health consequences. If a blog isn't up to speed, it can have dire consequences for the site that can result in a drastic loss of traffic, reduction in search engine presence and even instability and an inability to function.
Simply put, every blogger needs to be aware of the dangers of letting their site get out of shape and be able to make the necessary adjustments to bring it back into line. Failure to do so can be very disastrous for a blog indeed.

Hi guys,
Currently, I'm developing on linux (ubuntu 11.04). However, I got this irritating bug when testing using emulator.
Please see below for rendering example:
I'm pretty sure it is caused by font rendering. But, I can't pin point the exact problem. So, maybe you guys could help me out?

You can connect an external audio equipment which comes with a 3.5mm audio jack or headphone jack (for example MP3 player, tablet, and mobile phone etc.) to the product via a 3.5mm audio cable.
Connect one end of the cable to the 3.5mm MP3 Link jack on the product; and the other end to the headphone jack on the external device.
Then, start music playback on the external equipment. The music should be able to output through the product.

We recently saw what happened - and I won't mention the act or this very smart guy's name - when people push other people... sometimes what you say is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Do you really want to live with that?
Edit: Most people who are depressed have no idea they actually are - so it's difficult to come to a realization that "I am depressed" unless you hit rock bottom with how you are manifesting said depression in reality. Usually it takes the constant nagging of a loved one for you to do something, someone who is close to the person and knows him or her well - would be best able to observe their mood changes and the impact this has on their life. Then the hard part comes - having the person deal with the situation.... and you tell me if asking for help has ever been easy for anyone, particularly intelligent people who think they can boil the ocean by their own self .

Giggling-Jiggling Bears, Dancing Fish, and Danny DeVito. It's a Dr. Seuss Movie Alright
By Staff Editor & Film Critic, PK.
If you've been following us on Facebook, then you undoubtedly have seen some of my posts. Pondering the question, are modern day 3-D movies worth all the hype I keep hearing about? Well, after taking perhaps a little too much cold-flu medicine and feeling my eyeballs vibrating out of my skull, I decided the logical course of action was to go see a movie. After bouncing out of my car at the theater, I stopped and read the signs carefully. Of all the movies I could see today, which one would appeal the most to a cynical, sarcastic, and slightly high, yet cranky radio editor. Ghost Rider : Spirit of Vengeance 3-D was available, but I thought, "nah". I'm in pain already, that's overkill even for someone who enjoys the occasional slap and tickle of a bad movie.
I admittedly have yet to see the new Ghost Rider movie, but it's one of those rare sequels that gives off the ripe cheese odor straight from the previews. I've seen some of the old school 3-D's using the headache inducing glasses with bright red and blue lenses. But life events and my being a cheapskate had prevented me from seeing a movie using the newer tech. Dr. Seuss's The Lorax would be starting soon, and I thought it would be good to review a family movie for a change. I also want to extend my sympathies to the lady working the ticket booth, who was being mobbed by a small army of young girls ranging in ages from 5-14, and the parent/guardian of the group who was using the opportunity to teach them math problems while giving them money to buy their own tickets.

Was looking for this item is several local retailers, several had pieces but not all in one store, another had the whole set but it was outrageous, checked out the company website and the price was affordable but shipping was expensive. Then I found overstock.com and the price was less with free shipping. It was a no brainer, all items in one place, no driving around, price below manufacture web price, and free shipping. The item came when I was told and was very timely. Overstock make it so easy!
I got this attachments to be able to do my own burgers at home, is the best purchase so far, you choose your meat and decided quality on your burgers and pay even less than the worst burgers of your local market! Grinder need to be frozen before grind meat, works better that way. Vegetable processor is great too, if you entertain at home will help you to cut in half your prep time, try different vegetables before a party, some cut better if you put them in cold water over night, make them crisp and easy to cut.
We are very pleased with out purchase. I used the meat grinder for home made burgers. I have not yet used the vegetable shredder, but I assume it will just a good.
I should have know better. The plastic could not stand up to the pressure. The grinding plates broke out of the chassis and whizzed by head with such force that it it hit the wall on the other side of the room. Not safe....Do not buy!
Very pleased with product and would recommend it to others.
Bought these as a wedding present. Great price! I looked everywhere, even *-***. Arrived quickly with no problem as usual for O.
Have been shopping for the attachment kit for a long time. Want to make my own sausage. The attachments work beautifully and the value is great.
The attachments were exactly what I needed. I was not disappointed with the quality. The price was good for all that I got.
I am canning a lot and this attachments makes the best and the thickest juice and it is so simple to use enjoy using this attachment also plan to purchase my daughter one in the future
I've used the grinder/stuffer portions of this kit for the past 30 years to grind hundreds of pounds of meat and stuff a gazillion links of both Kielbasa and Italian sausage. For the past 20 years it's been also used to grind a few hundred bushels of Hungarian Hot, Habanero, and Red Savina Peppers to make a sweet/hot relish that my extended family has become addicted to. When I found out that my Italian Father-In-Law decided he didn't want to use a hand grinder anymore to make his sausage and went out and bought an electric grinder and was disappointed with the quality, I immediate drove over to his house and asked him if he still had the Kitchen-Aid mixer we'd bought for him years ago. When he said yes I just told him to wait a week before looking for another grinder --- saying nothing else. When I showed up with this KGSSA attachment pack and showed him how easily it attached to his mixer he was brought to tears, just amazed at the quality. That was followed by a visit from him the next day bringing us about 10 lbs of his newly made, easily made, great sausage! Oh, and the slicer works great too!

Did Oberlin College handle a racial incident properly?
Blog Entry:
March 05, 2013 1:04 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
When hate crimes happen on campus — as
they have
Oberlin College
, the goal should be to provide targeted students "all the support they need without empowering provocateurs," according to
this analysis
by TheAtlantic.com.
By that standard, though, Oberlin overreached when it canceled classes on Monday, writes Conor Friedersdorf, a staff writer at the website who has covered such incidents both as a college journalist and a professional newspaper reporter.
"Cancelling classes on Monday for a 'day of solidarity' seems mistaken to me," he writes. "Whether the perpetrator is a racist, or a cruel provocateur, or someone carrying out an ill-conceived hoax, this gives them what they sought: on a college campus, where everyone is gathered to advance their education, someone succeeded in disrupting the community's core function. Like an arsonist who lights a match and watches the show, they're likely enjoying the spectacle."
Ideally, he concludes, "Oberlin could show unmistakable support for its students — the ones who feel victimized and the ones who don't want to be made to feel like victims — and at the same time, signal to racist provocateurs that no, they cannot cause a spectacle. To signal that the perpetrator is marginal and weak — that he or she isn't worth it."
The libertarians at
magazine have a
similar take
— albeit one that's filled with contempt for the famously liberal school.
"Do they actually think whoever is responsible for the incidents cares at all about the college's solidarity? … Everybody knows that trolls feed off responses like this. Could they possibly have given this guy much more of an ego boost than to essentially wasting thousands of dollars in students' tuition (Oberlin's tuition for this academic year is $44,512) by cancelling classes?"
This and that
Needs a little seasoning:
Former Cleveland Mayor/Ohio Gov. George Voinovich has been out of the political game for a while, but he pops up in
Wall Street Journal
to provide some context for a story about prospective U.S. Sen. Cory Booker.
The Journal
notes that Mr. Booker, the high-profile mayor of Newark, N.J., is trying to pull off what few people have been able to do — ascend directly from City Hall to the U.S. Senate.
Since 1789, the paper notes, only 20 mayors have moved on to the Senate within a year of serving in their local capacity.
Mayor Booker is media savvy and, through his role as a surrogate for the Obama campaign, has greater recognition that the average major, the story notes. But the leap to the Senate still won't be easy.
Mr. Voinovich, who lost his first Senate bid in 1988 after serving as Cleveland's mayor, tells
The Journal
that a local candidate needs to have a statewide base and national profile to run for Senate.
"It's just a portion of the package," says Mr. Voinovich, who won the Senate seat in 1999 after serving as Ohio's governor. "After I had been governor for eight years, my package was a lot more complete."
Meeting of the minds:
Warren Buffett and CNBC's Jim Cramer
got together the other day
to talk about natural gas as a fuel for surface vehicles, and the discussion eventually got around to Garfield Heights-based
Chart Industries Inc.
Mr. Buffett talked about the subject in the context of railroads, since his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., owns Burlington Northern, and Berkshire is starting to spend real money on natural gas fueled locomotives.
Mr. Cramer said that as natural gas takes off for surface vehicles, investors should pay attention to Chart, which makes equipment that is used to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas. (It also sells the storage tanks needed to transport liquefied natural gas, and the engine tanks that hold LNG for heavy-duty trucks.)
Chart also stands to benefit from exposure to China, Mr. Cramer said.
"China is dramatically ratcheting up its use of natural gas, and they're even building out infrastructure to start replacing diesel with nat gas as a transportation fuel," he said.
Mr. Cramer added, "The company has a host of other non-natural gas related businesses as well. Chart uses its freezing expertise to deal with industrial gases, and they have a biomedical division where they make liquid oxygen therapy systems."
Wishful thinking:
Columbia Journalism Review
Advance Publications
, the company that publishes
The Plain Dealer
, has many virtues, one of which is offering a succinct explanation about why Advance will not be selling any of its papers anytime soon,
The story focuses primarily on the
New Orleans Times-Picayune
, a paper that already has made the move to three-days-a-week-in-print publication that many observers expect will happen at
The Plain Dealer
People who would like to preserve daily print publication of the Advance papers have pushed for the Newhouse family, which owns Advance, to consider selling them.
nips that idea in the bud.
"If they sold the (New Orleans) paper right now, the Newhouses probably would get less than $40 million for it, based on the earnings multiples of recent newspaper sales," according to the story. "By radically slashing costs, as they have done — perhaps by as much as $25 million — the company can earn that amount in a couple of years thanks to higher profit margins. Anything beyond that is gravy."

Conveniently located near the state's largest cities and several capitols, Westminster is the heart of Carroll County and a fantastic Mid-Atlantic city to call home. With a nationally-accredited Main Street Program designation, this town offers a unique cultural experience with a charming small atmosphere that draws in so many Maryland residents to look for Westminster apartments for rent. Home to more than 18,600 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, this is a warm, welcoming community that is close to the amenities of many major metropolises.
The original design of the city was laid out in 1764 by English settler William Winchester who gave the town its name. He specifically chose the spot because of its ideal location to many other surrounding communities in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. areas. Many people quickly caught on to all of the great qualities of this community and began to build hotels, eating establishments and stores.
Westminster largely remained an agricultural community until 1818 when its first organized municipal government was formed. Around this time, there was a terrible drought in the area that gave rise to local legend. Only two wells existed in the town, and the one that was perceived to never run dry was owned by Jacob Sherman. The legend continues to this day in the community's pageant, "The House that Jacob Built." Much of the developing industries in the area remained in agriculture, but the area was also known for its tanning and banking centers. Westminster was a frequent stop for travelers headed west from the large cities nearby like Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
Today, Westminster has grown from its humble beginnings into one of the most thriving municipalities. With its high quality schools, low crime rates and family-oriented residents, it is easy to see why so many people have made their home here.
Three of the top ten employers in the area are in banking and publishing, according to the city's official website. However, the city's largest private employers are Carroll Lutheran Village, an assisted living home, General Dynamics Robotics Systems, and C.J. Miller LLC, a paving and excavating contractor. Obviously, the workforce in the area is a diverse mix of white and blue collar occupations, making it a fantastic place to be no matter your line of work.
The city of Westminster has two institutions of higher learning, one being McDaniel College. This private, liberal arts college offers undergraduate and graduate degrees on a beautiful hilltop campus. Class sizes are small here, giving students the opportunity to have a meaningful, personalized education. Another popular nearby school is Carroll Community College. This 2-year institution offers degrees and certifications in a variety of fields including health, education, business and engineering. Students should begin their search for Westminster apartments well before classes begin in order to score the best place.
Since Westminster is ideally located near so many major cities, the cost of living in the area is slightly above the national average. According to information from city-data.com, the median gross rent in the area is $885 per month, making it a very affordable option for those wanting to live in a small, but growing community. Because of its ideal location and reputation for being a great place to raise a family, it is easy to see why this city had an 11 percent increase in population from 2000 to 2010.
One of the places in the area that makes Westminster so unique from other Maryland communities is Serpent Ridge Vineyard. Known for their many varietals of wine, this local favorite is getting buzz for creating some great selections. Because of Maryland's ideal climate for agriculture, it makes sense that Serpent Ridge is making some of the best wine in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Who's afraid of a little old rattlesnake?
A rattlesnake was just a foot away from my face last week.
It was so close I could reach out and touch it. Which means (gulp) it could reach out and touch me.
But I wasn't scared. More like intrigued.
As the big venomous viper slithered, pulsed and began to coil, I realized this could be one of those "bucket list" moments. I was about to scratch "Deadly Snake Encounter" off my list.
Despite 50 years of carelessly tromping through snake habitat, this was my first brush with a rattler.
Oh, I've been inches from their little forked tongues at the zoo and other Plexiglas snake prisons. But never inside the ropes with one.
I'm sort of a weekend outdoorsman. But snakes, bears, mountain lions — even poisonous plants — always seem to give me a wide berth.
I never see 'em.
There is a bear who nightly shakes our bear-proof Dumpster like he's trying to make jumbo Jiffy Pop.
But when I stumble outside for a look, he's gone. Always.
The few times we've neglected to lock the Dumpster, Yogi has helped himself to bags and bags of assorted goodies.
He drags the stinky black Hefty sacks about 50 yards behind the house and sets his table for a midnight snack.
Though I've yet to meet our bear, I feel like I know him after bussing his table a few times.
He's not picky. And he's all business — poops right where he eats.
Did you know bears like wine? They do. And not the good stuff, either. Almaden in a box … aack.
But I digress. I'm staring at a rattler right now. About a 40-incher. That's almost three-and-a-half feet long. I think I'll go with that description — makes it seem a lot bigger.
I know it's a three-and-a-half-footer because his skin is drying on a shelf at home.
Yes, I lived through the encounter.
My uncle Eric says I should wrap the snake carcass around my fishing hat. Like Crocodile Dundee. Hmmm? I think I should decorate my golf hat instead. Now that would be a different look.
Actually, it was Eric who pointed out this rattler for me.
Eric sees snakes all the time. He's capped dozens of them.
Eric and I are opposites in that respect. He unknowingly shared a narrow ditch with a rattler last summer while he was doing some plumbing.
That snake's dried hide has been on display for some time now.
A few years ago he killed a big buck in his underwear. I'm almost surprised he didn't kill the deer with his underwear. You know, an improvised choke-hold type of attack.
To a city boy like me, Eric is a bona fide mountain man. He's two parts Daniel Boone, one part Marlin Perkins, with just a dash of Bart Simpson for flavor.
If a cat has nine lives, Eric has about 23 and counting. I'll save tales of his near-death experiences for another day. Because this is my snake story.
Sometimes Aunt Pat is along for the ride when Eric is tempting fate. And sometimes she's the one doing the tempting.
Not too long ago a mountain lion crossed their path as they bounced along their steep and lonely dirt road that winds to their mountain valley home.
As the giant cat stared at them off the side of the road, Pat decided it was time for a "Wild Kingdom" moment.
"What in the hell are you doing!?" the mountain man screamed as the love of his life got out of the truck and walked toward the lion.
"Here kitty kitty," she said.
Either the mountain lion wasn't hungry, or decided my slender aunt wasn't meaty enough for the effort. Not sure. But the big cat just stared at the smiling "happy meal," turned and disappeared into the woods.
So … here I am staring at the rattlesnake. The big lump in his mid-section was probably a mouse or some other recent victim that was swallowed whole after a paralyzing venom injection.
What a way to go. I think I see nightmares in my future.
But I wasn't dreaming about this. It was real.
As I reached toward the snake, I noticed it only had four rattles. A snake this size should have about a dozen. Must have busted some off.
With my hand just inches away, I decided to go for it. I could feel the snake's muscles constrict as I wrapped my fingers around its back.
I could hear, and feel, its rattle vibrating as I lifted it off the ground. It was much heavier than I imagined — all bones and muscle.
Still, I wasn't scared. Something was missing …
His head.
The mountain man had already removed the business end of the snake a few minutes earlier.
Rattlesnakes still act like they want to kill something even after they are dead.
Must be a reflex. Because this one certainly wasn't thinking.
Aunt Pat discovered the big rattler sitting near the foot of their front porch.
Eric said he was a bit confused as he rolled up the driveway.
He wondered why Pat's arms were doing all the moves to the Village People's "YMCA" dance as he approached the front step.
Pat said she wasn't scared. She was merely trying to warn her husband. And I believe her.
Hey, this woman stared down a mountain lion. What's a little rattlesnake?
Moments later it was over.
Eric said he shot the snake's head off.
But an ending like that sounds a little too conventional for the mountain man.
I think he bit it off.

Don Henley Releasing First New Album In 12 Years
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
Don Henley will release his first new studio album in 12 years in May, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. During an interview with Philadelphia's WMGK he revealed that the new set, titled Cass County, after the Texas county he was raised, ". . . leans towards country. Some of it's traditional country, some of it is what you might call alt-country, and I've got a lot of interesting guest vocalists and musicians on there with me. I made a lot of the album in Nashville. Some of it was recorded here in Dallas and some of it was recorded in Southern California. I'm pretty pleased with it." The set is co-produced by Henley's longtime collaborator, former Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers drummer, Stan Lynch.
He went on to real that he's currently working on his autobiography: "But it will be a few years before we get to that. . . I don't want to write a trashy tell-all. . . I think you can tell the truth and not get too salacious or prurient or tacky."
Henley went on to talk about the new documentary, History Of The Eagles, which premiered last month at Sundance and will air over two nights later this month on Showtime, saying, "We were always a pretty private band," he continued. We didn't allow a lot of access to our little entourage there. Partly, of course, because of our behavior. . . I've got a lot of explaining to do to my kids."
Henley revealed that a former member of the Eagles would be joining the band on the road this year in belated celebration of their 40th anniversary. He pointed out that it would not be guitarist Don Felder, who was fired from the Eagles in 2001 following monetary disputes with Henley, Glenn Frey, and Eagles manager Irving Azoff. The case was settled out of court the following year.
That leaves co-founders guitarist Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner who quit the band in 1975 and 1977, respectively. There's been no word from the Eagles camp about who will be joining the lineup for the 2013 dates.
A while back Don Henley told VH1 that he wouldn't want to be an up and coming artist trying to break into the music business: "I feel badly for a lot of these new artists, a lot of these younger artists now, who come out and sell five, sic, seven, eight million copies of their first album, because that creates unrealistic expectations. And most of them will not be able to duplicate that again. I mean, I guarantee that their second album will not sell as many copies as their first album. I'm grateful that we went up slowly. Which is not to say, of course, that If you're tremendously successful your first. . . right out of the box that you won't have that success again, you have to get through the sophomore year."

Biden in Portsmouth: Obama has 'spine of steel'
Friday, September 7, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — President Barack Obama has arrived in New Hampshire and will take the stage at Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth within minutes.
Friday's event marks Obama's fourth trip to New Hampshire of the year, and his third campaign appearance in this pocket of the state since June. Obama has also held campaign events at Oyster River Middle School in Durham in June and in Rochester and Windham on Aug. 18.
Although New Hampshire will only deliver four electoral votes during November's general election, both campaigns have placed value in campaigning in New Hampshire, which is viewed as one of a handful of places where both candidates are still in competition.
Hoping to provide a parallel to Obama's remarks in New Hampshire, Romney is also scheduled to speak in the state Friday. He will speak at an event in Nashua Friday evening, according to the Romney campaign.
By 9:30 a.m., a line blocks away from Strawbery Banke snaked around the city. Hundreds anxiously waited outside the museum grounds for a chance to view the president.
Locals Andrea Donaldson, of Newmarket, and Nicole Pollack, who has lived in Portsmouth for nine years, patiently waited in line, saying there were thrilled to see the president, and even more excited the line was moving so swiftly.
Further up the road, at the intersection of Pleasant and Court streets, a flock of Gov. Romney supporters gathered around the crowded sidewalks. Norm Olsen, a Portsmouth resident for 10 years, held a sign in the style of Shephard Fairey's iconic "HOPE" image with President Obama in blue and red, only Olsen's poster had the word "FAILED" slapped across it.
"We heard so many promises," Olsen said. "... I couldn't make it to Nashua today so I'm doing my work here."
Over on Daniel Street, John's Barber Shop, with owner John Russo's ultra-conservative posters hanging on the wall, was buzzing. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R) had reportedly just visited the small business. Her office is working to confirming her schedule for the remainder of the day.
Portsmouth resident James Reilley, 78, who has visited John's for a haircut religiously for the last 12 years, said he brought holy water with him, to splash his wife before she headed off to the president's speech. Reilley said he headed to John's to catch Ayotte and joked about his wife's liberal tendencies. Barber Jay Foley recorded some of Ayotte's speech on his iPhone.
A clip showed Ayotte ripping Obama's acceptance speech for the presidential nomination during last night's closing Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. Ayotte said Obama never addressed the question directly in his speech: "Are you better off today?"
