How To Make Parker House Rolls
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
How do you take a soft, tender dinner roll and make it even more delicious? You dip it in butter. Yes, you read that right. Parker House Rolls are what regular dinner rolls want to be when they grow up.
These rolls are heavenly. They are decadent. When you want something truly special for your table, Parker House Rolls are the answer. Here's how to make them, step-by-step.
Is There Anything Better Than Toast?
Kitchen Diaries: Kate in New York City
This week, I became obsessed with toast of all kinds. Perhaps influenced by the fact that I was buying bread last week like it was a discontinued shade of lipstick, nearly every meal I ate involved some variation of loaded toasts. Call it what you want — crostini, bruschetta, good 'ole toast — but it got me thinking: Is there anything more versatile than toasted carb ready to be topped with deliciousness?
Recipe: Sweet Braided Czech Bread with Almonds & Raisins
Recipes from The Kitchn
Most Eastern European households have an Easter tradition of sweet eggy bread. This is my family's — an enormous braided loaf, scented with nutmeg and lemon, peppered with almonds and plump golden raisins. It originated on my maternal grandfather's Czech side of the family tree, and all my life I've known it as houska. As in, "Uncle Ed is doing the houska this Easter." Or, "I burned the top of the houska." "Tell me again, who's bringing the houska?" It's a treasured Easter treat, the taste and scent of it mixed with holiday memories.
But you know what? My family has it all wrong. This bread isn't houska at all. We've been using the wrong name for at least 70 years. Does it matter?
Recipe: Earl Grey Hot Cross Buns
Recipes from The Kitchn
If there's one seasonal food I get excited about in the spring, it's hot cross buns. I'm not searching the supermarkets for chocolate eggs come April, no no — I'm looking for these carb-y delights. They're slightly sweet, soft and scented with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Exactly what I crave during these sporadically rainy days in the UK.
Rye Matzoh and Beyond: 9 Varieties of Matzoh to Suit Every Taste
Matzoh, the flat, unleavened bread eaten during the holiday of Passover, is one of the most distinctive Jewish foods. Made from nothing more than flour (typically wheat, but also barley, spelt, rye, or oat) and water, it represents the simple bread the Israelites took with them when they left slavery in Ancient Egypt.
When most people think of matzoh, they envision flat, square crackers dotted with fork prick-like perforations. They also tend to think, "boring." But there are actually many different varieties to choose from, including gluten-free, chocolate-covered, and even soft versions. Spice up this year's matzoh routine by stocking your cabinet with one or more of the following matzoh variations.
Why Does My Challah Bread Split Open During Baking?

How Do I Keep Shaped Bread Dough from Sticking to the Countertop?
Good Questions
Q: Thank you so much for posting the recipe for you Beginner Sourdough Loaf. I have tried twice to make the recipe — both times attempting to make it as a round artisan loaf using my (pre-heated) cast iron enamelware, but Houston, I have a big problem. After the bread has risen the second time, I cannot seem to get it off of the cutting board!
Recipe: Beginner Sourdough Sandwich Loaf
Recipes from The Kitchn
When you're ready to take your new sourdough starter for a spin, I have just the recipe. Consider this beginner loaf a bridge between regular white sandwich bread and Tartine-style artisan loaves. It uses a few cups of your bubbly sourdough starter along with commercial yeast to add some extra insurance as you're getting used to working with sourdough. This makes a soft and subtly tangy loaf that's perfect for tuna fish sandwiches and jam-smeared toast alike.
How To Make Your Own Sourdough Starter
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Not all of us are so lucky to have a sourdough starter passed down to us from our bread-baking forefathers and foremothers. Thankfully, making a fresh batch of starter is as easy as stirring together some flour and water and letting it sit. That's right! No expensive heirloom starters, mashed up grapes, or mysterious rituals required — just flour, water, and a little bit of patience.
Recipe: Pudla (Indian Chickpea Crepes)
Recipes from The Kitchn
When I visited cookbook author and blogger Mallika Basu at her home in London last year, I found her ready and waiting to whip up a batch of pudla, chickpea crepes with cilantro, green chili, and ginger — a quick and easy breakfast staple she makes frequently for her family. I loved how light yet satisfying these gluten-free, vegan pancakes were, soft in the middle, and with a crisp edge.
I asked her for the recipe and tried a batch in my own kitchen, and here are they are for you today.

Mellow Mushroom prompts consumers to enter ten-digit codes to win prizes and offers additional mobile experiences to further appeal to its customer base.
Atlanta-based pizza chain Mellow Mushroom wanted to drive sales and mobile engagement, so it teamed up with some big partners for its Summer Happiness campaign.
Since launching July 29, over 45,000 consumers have registered. It is active until August 31.
Mellow Mushroom has 154 units in 20 states. Its summertime partners include Coca-Cola, Live Nation and the American Music Awards.
In the Summer Happiness promotion, guests receive a ten-character Mellow Mushroom code when they purchase a qualifying Coca-Cola product at the restaurant. They can enter via text or through the microsite to win prizes like a VIP experience to the 2013 American Music Awards in Los Angeles in November. Over 6,000 instant win prizes are also available, including Live Nation Concert Cash and Mellow Mushroom gift cards.
"A lot of our brand is anchored in music," says Annica Kreider, vice president of brand development for Mellow Mushroom. "We know this resonates with consumers."
What's more, the experience includes a Spin the Coke Bottle game, or "an in-store digital table top game where guests can interact and learn more about each other with a series of conversation starters and trivia questions, centered around music, Coca-Cola and Mellow," the brand says.
"We positioned it as, 'Do you really know who you're sitting with?'" Kreider adds. "There are questions you can ask your tablemates, like, 'If you're on a desert island, what five albums would you bring?' It's not a hard sell, just an engaging, interactive game."
Guests can also create and share Mellow Mushroom e-cards.
According to the brand, the campaign had over 22,000 registrants in the first week.
Mellow Mushroom also notes 84% of its 45,000 participants registered via SMS.
According to Meredith Hillman, vice president at digital, mobile and social engagement provider ePrize, that figure is a "great data point for Mellow Mushroom to understand its customers, who are very mobile focused."
In addition, more than 20 percent of all registrants - or about 7,300 - scanned QR codes tied to the campaign and 95 percent of all registrants entered promotional codes via SMS, Mellow Mushroom says.
Hillman says QR code usage also demonstrates a mobile-savvy audience.
The brand first became aware of its highly mobile customer base when it realized more than 50% of its web traffic was coming from mobile channels, Kreider says. That was in June following a campaign that saw more mobile than microsite uploads.
In May, the brand teamed up with Dos Equis and its Most Interesting Man in the World around Cinco de Mayo, asking guests to take an interesting photo with a cutout of the Most Interesting Man. Photos were uploaded through Instagram or a microsite. Mellow Mushroom says about 75 percent of the 2,500 images were uploaded via Instagram.
"We knew then that our guests were highly mobile," Kreider says.
Mellow Mushroom targets college-educated adults ages 35 to 49 who make over $100,000.
The brand has 157,000 fans on Facebook.

|Chargers at Saints Point Spread Odds, Trends, Injuries & Matchup
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Sunday, 26 October 2008 03:30
Overseas Matchup
London, England - The New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers each had high expectations heading into this season, but both teams are playing sub-.500 football.
The Saints may have a tougher time getting their season on track, though, as star running back Reggie Bush is injured and they're losing a home date on their schedule to serve as the designated hosts in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers in London.
Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made the Chargers -3 point spread favorites (View NFL Football odds) for Sunday's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 64% of bets for this game have been placed on the Chargers -3 (View NFL Football bet percentages).
New Orleans and San Diego both look to bounce back from discouraging losses and avoid the distractions of playing overseas when they meet at Wembley Stadium.
Neither the Saints (3-4) nor the Chargers (3-4) have managed to get in rhythm this year, but New Orleans' season may have taken a turn for the worst last Sunday as Bush sustained cartilage damage in his knee in a 30-7 loss to Carolina.
Bush, who has 660 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on the season, had surgery on his left knee Monday instead of traveling with the team to London. It's unclear how long he'll be out.
"He has been a big part of what we have been able to do offensively and it's an injury that we have to deal with," Saints coach Sean Payton said.
Aaron Stecker or Pierre Thomas will be called on to play alongside Deuce McAllister in the backfield.
While the loss of Bush certainly hurts, New Orleans has other problems.
The Saints are in last place in the NFC South and have lost all three of their games away from the Superdome.
"We came over here knowing that this is pretty much a must-win game for us," said wide receiver Marques Colston, who returned from a thumb injury last week. "We have the bye week next week, and just to go in with a win could set our season back on the right track."
New Orleans was held to a season low in points last week, as Drew Brees finished 21-of-39 for 231 yards and an interception.
"Our three previous losses were all games that we had opportunities to win at the end," Brees said. "This was the first one that we were beaten decisively. ... That was more disappointing than anything."
Brees was drafted by San Diego in 2001 and played his first five seasons for the Chargers, leading them to an AFC West title in 2004 before signing as a free agent with New Orleans before the 2006 season. Since then, Brees has thrown for an NFL-best 11,065 yards and is fourth in the league with 66 touchdowns.
"I'd by lying if I told you it was just any other game," said Brees, who leads the league with 2,224 passing yards this season. "But certainly I'm not blowing it out of proportion, and I'm not putting any added pressure on myself or my team."
In the last meeting between these teams on Nov. 7, 2004, Brees threw four touchdown passes in leading San Diego to a 43-17 victory.
Philip Rivers was a rookie for the Chargers in 2004, and San Diego named him the starting quarterback in 2006. Rivers helped lead San Diego to the AFC Championship game last season, but this year has been a struggle at times.
In last Sunday's 23-14 loss at Buffalo, Rivers fumbled twice and threw an interception.
"The taste of that loss isn't gone by any means," Rivers said after arriving in London on Monday. "It was a big game that we lost yesterday, and we know that, but we're going to have to rebound."
Rivers leads the league with 16 touchdown passes, but he's had little help in the ground game from LaDainian Tomlinson, who still appears hesitant while nursing a toe injury.
After running for a season-high 106 yards and two touchdowns in San Diego's 28-18 win over Oakland on Sept. 28, Tomlinson has rushed for 150 yards and no scores in his last three games.
"The run game comes with opportunities and gaining some momentum," Tomlinson said. "Obviously, we didn't have any momentum in the run game. That's why we're suffering."
This matchup will be the league's second regular season game in London after the New York Giants defeated Miami 13-10 last Oct. 28.
The Giants, who opened 2007 with back-to-back losses, improved to 6-2 with the victory over the Dolphins and went on to win the Super Bowl.
"They were kind of going through the same struggles," Tomlinson said of the Giants. "They came here and it kind of changed their season. We're hoping for the same kind of luck. Hopefully, London brings us that."

The bulbs had no green on them so I think they may have been stored til sale time? Right now they are sending up the long leaves. Thanks for any advice. Marg

Here is an example on how to do this...

The man handed the bank teller a note that read, "This is a holdup. Give me a dollar"
PORTLAND, Ore. — A man allegedly robbed a bank for $1 and then waited there for deputies to arrest him, Clackamas County sheriff's deputies said.
Deputies said he did so as a way to go back to jail to receive free medical care.
The 50-year-old man entered the bank branch at 9171 S.E. 82nd Ave., demanded the buck, received it and then went and had a seat in the lobby, deputies said.

How do i even begin to explain the things this book is! For sure it will always be a one of my favorite books. Dashti literally is amazing! You feel an attachment for her and the animals Mucker and, My Lord. she is one likeable character she's just so funny and loyal and the amazing all in one! That's the kind of girl she is and what's also amazing is her story it's a thrilling journey into her world and you will not be able to come out. I was hooked as i started to get into it! And oh my Lord Tegus "silver deels" [no spoilers] "i will always love you" i whisper/sing to the book.
A cute story, but mostly highly predictable. The strength of characters and depth was good.
Good book, quick read. The big events were slightly predictable, but there were some interesting details (you know who's going to end up together, but you dont' know how it can happen; you know the villain has to be stopped, but you don't know exactly how, etc).
I love fairytales! And, Hale's version on Rapunzel is a unique and exciting taking on this old tale.
One of those ridiculously rare books that are INCREDIBLE. The kind of incredible where you can't put it down because it is so engaging; however, the thing that sets this book apart from the others is that if you have copious amounts of time you can sit down and read it until it's done, but if you don't, it's unique layout allows you to put it down if you absolutely must at several key points. As a very busy student with no time to speak of (except a very little during breakfast and just before sleeping) this kind of attribute highly endears the book to myself even if the story weren't so captivating and heartfelt.
Ah this book was sooo good! It took lots of twists and turns and it kept me really interested! I stayed up for 2 nights to finish it :) love love lovedd it!!!
An excellent read!
A warm read-- a bright fairytale that enveloped me completely and took me back to being eight again.
Coming of age story wherein the Book is an important character. Wonderful retelling of classic story.
Apparently its a rewrite of the fairytail "Maid Maleen", but it is really different from the actual story. I loved it!
AgeAdd Age Suitability
SummaryAdd a Summary
From the back cover of the book:
[italics][pale blue] My lady and I are being shut up in a tower for seven years.[/italics][/pale blue]
When Lady Saren refuses to marry a man she fears, she and her maid, Dashti, are locked in a tower with just a tiny flap open to the outside world. As food runs low and the weather changes from broiling hot to unbearably cold, it is all Dashti can do to make them comfortable in their dark prison.
Not long after their confinement begins, Saren's suitors arrive--one welcome, the other less so--and she orders Dashti to speak to them. Impersonating Lady Saren is a crime punishable by death, but Dashti will have to play the role many times if she is to save them both from the tower and the dangers outside. As she takes control of their desperate situation, Dashti begins to understand her own astonishing talents and believe that even a low-born maid can find true love.

Depending on how badly you're dying for that stuff, I'd recommend waiting for a bit. With Discogs, you can set reminders so that anytime a seller puts up a release you want you'll get an email. Tracking those will show you how prices are going, and you can maybe find a really good price. I'm looking thru the Discogs listings right now and the prices are ridiculous. $40 for a 7" is highway robbery.
Dave Chapelle ACL Live -4/2

Sleep - 5/1
Austin Psych Fest (Levitation) - 5/8 - 5/10
I would pay $40 for the "Everything With You" 7" from the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. I slept on a $35 copy on Discogs because I was on vacation and no price has come remotely close since.
The 7" format only makes sense for me as a conscious restraint. I really can't stand it as a single format. Especially in this day and age.
Touch's Seven series is pretty great. John Wiese has had some great moments with the format... but he's kinda the king. And Machinefabriek.
Part of it comes from the fact that a 7" demands attention. You really can't do anything else other than just listen to it. The problem being, so little music is put out on the format that deserves that kind of attention...
With Trish dying last year I don't forsee prices lowering for Broadcast vinyl. Idk thanks for the input guys.

anyone know about Southern Lord Record stuff? Rhino just priced a bunch of used stuff and was browsing. Only bought them cuz they're pretty, but i don't think i'll be listening to them. I'll probably flip them.
Black Breath - Sentenced to Life LP - Red vinyl
Craft - Void 2 LP - Clear/black spatter vinyl
Rhino's free ticket promo continues this week. Sleigh Bells ticket for Fox Pomona starts Friday, so i'll be picking up a ticket and Reign of Terror on LP this weekend if they don't run out too quickly.
LA people: Amoeba is insanely stocked in incredible used stuff right now. If you can get there today, do it.
What I got (all original presses):
Manitoba (nee Caribou) - Up in Flames
Joy Division - Closer
Husker Du - Everything Falls Apart
Killing Joke - Killing Joke
Soundgarden - Louder than Love
Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet
Big Black - Songs About Fucking
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Dude... Piper??? What pressing? Killer haul... I wish I was up in LA to go spend 200 at Amoeba.
UK 1967 press. The sleeve is in perfect condition.
I had to put back three Hawkwind OPs, The Pop Group - Y, A Saucerful of Secrets OP, DJ Shadow - Endtroducing, Stereolab - Switched On Vols. 1 and 2 and Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2 (Since they're repressing it soon.)
uhhhhhhhh. damn dude, insane grab.
On a side note, I wish I didn't have such bad luck with Editions Mego. It seems like half the time I order from there I end up with a split sleeve. Like the new Fenn O'berg live LP will be arriving soon, and I'm nervous about what I'll find when I open up that bad boy.
I need beginner turntable help. My second turntable, but my first barely counted (couldn't get to the innards at all, built in speakers, etc.) Every time I play an LP it runs at the correct speed for ~30 seconds, then either speeds up or slows down drastically, and then resumes a mostly even (but slightly faster or slower, depending) spin. Same thing every 30 seconds or so. I checked the belt. I don't really know what I'm checking for though. I mean, it's on there.
Oh shit, Drew, I feel like I have seen you around here in a really long time. Hola.
Hmmmm, I'm not sure about your problem here. Both of my tables have been belt-driven but I've never had issues with RPM on either. Possibly the motor, then? I have no experience here. Contact the manufacturer and see if this is a common issue with this table and ask about potential solutions.
Jesus does Nine Inch Nails have any vinyl other than The Slip for less than $80 or so? I have Pretty Hate Machine already but nothing else and I see that goes for upwards of $60. God damn.
I got Jack White-Sixteen Saltines - Love Is Blindness (7")
Swans @ Terminal West 03/28/15
Drive like Jehu @ The Glass House 04/08/15
Electric Wizard @ Slims 04/17/15
Acid Mother Temple @ BOTM 04/18/15
Faith No More @ the Warfield 04/20/15
John Zorn @ UCLA 05/02/15

Neutral Milk Hotel @ Pappy & Harriets 05/30/15

I've never had a bad experience with FE. Strange... I've honestly probably ordered from them 50 times. Discriminate is my favorite, but their stock is limited. You can trust Mimaroglu as well.
Bad experiences of what type?
They just cancelled over half of the items I ordered, that they had listed in stock (but turned out not to be), but the rest of it has already shipped and I wouldn't expect any problems....
I've ordered from them since then, with only a few hiccups here and there, but that one experience still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I've never heard of Mimaroglu, so I'll check it out.
The new(ish) beta version of Forced Exposure seems to work well in regards to what is in stock. I've never had any problems with them either. Placed an order with them like 22 hours ago, already on it's way.
Vatican Shadow - Kneel Before Religious Icons LP
Pete Swanson - Man With Potential LP
SND/NHK - Split 12"
And just noticed Eli Keszler - Cold Pin LP got cancelled from that order. Shit... going to have to track that down.
I imagine so, Still-Ill, in that situation, I probably would have filed for a chargeback with my credit card or paypal. The burden of proof would be on them to show that something was shipped to you (ie, a tracking number that shows delivery).
Larry Levan - The Final Night of Paradise pt. 5
Permanent Vacation - Selected Label Works Vol. 3
Vatican Shadow - Kneel Before Religious Icons LP
Pete Swanson - Man with Potential LP
Aaron Dilloway - Modern Jester LP
Machinefabriek - Ontrafelde Tonen 7" Lathe Cut
NHK'KOYXEN - Dance Classics Vol. I LP
Julia Holter - Ekstasis LP

Hi All,
I know that hard mount is default, But the disadvantage of this option is NFS client will keep trying to mount the NFS share if it is not available...So that, the application using that mount point will hung...But the advantage is it will mount NFS share automatically once it is available again...
But if we are mounting as soft mount, then NFS client will try to mount NFS share for particular period of time and then it wont try....So hung of application will not happen...
My Questions:
1)If we are using soft mount option, Will it mount the NFS share automatically once NFS share restored or do we need to mount manually?
2)When and where we have to use hard mount and soft mount, Please explain me in detail?

You're assuming that a NFS filesystem will be unmounted if the NFS server is not reachable. This is not true.
What actually happens is a bit more complicated.
To avoid wasting network bandwidth, the NFS client will not continuously poll the NFS server to make sure it is still reachable. So the NFS client won't always know that the server has become unreachable until it tries to access a file on the NFS server.
Most of the filesystem I/O goes through the buffer cache (memory-mapped files are always cached, other methods may have an option to avoid caching). Normally, when a program writes something to a file, the OS will make some checks, and if there is nothing to stop the operation from succeeding, the data to be written is accepted into the cache and the program is told that the write is successful. The OS will do the actual write a bit later, in the hope that it can gather multiple small write operations and write them all in one big operation, because it will be more efficient. Normally this works well.
But if the NFS server becomes inaccessible between the data hitting the cache and the actual write operation, the OS has a big problem. As far as the program is concerned, the write operation was successfully done and firmly in the past; the OS already told it so. There is no way for the OS to go back on its word and tell the program that the write operation failed after all.
At this point, the OS has two choices:
- It can hold the program in a frozen state while it tries again and again to reach the NFS server and complete the write operation. This is exactly what the hard mount does. At this point, the kernel usually outputs a message for all logged-in users: "NFS server <name> not responding, still trying" in order to alert the users that there is a problem,
- Or the OS can keep trying for a while, then give up and throw away the data, and tell the program that accessing the NFS filesystem is no longer possible when it makes the next NFS write operation. This is what the soft mount does. (The program will know that operation #2 failed, but it will have no clue that operation #1 failed too.)
Whether the mount was soft or hard, it should automatically recover as soon as the NFS server is reachable again. (However, if the NFS server has rebooted while it was unreachable, any file locks that may have been established on the NFS filesystem before must be recovered with a special procedure or they will be lost, and that can be yet another can of worms...)
After this bit of background, the answers to your actual questions:
1.) No, you don't need to re-mount soft NFS mounts after a NFS server becomes unreachable and then returns.
2.) As far as I've undrstood, you can use soft mounts safely only if:
- you don't care that you might lose some data if the NFS server becomes unreachable, or
- your programs "know" that they are working with a soft-mounted NFS filesystem and are designed to take special steps to guard against data loss.
So, in some very limited circumstances, a soft NFS mount might be useful, but in general, soft NFS mounts are a bad idea. Don't use them unless you really know what you're doing.

Q&A: Carlton Christensen, newly appointed director of development for Salt Lake County
SALT LAKE CITY — He's certainly no stranger to the public eye in his own right. This past December, he retired from the Salt Lake City Council, where he served four terms for 16 consecutive years. His current job — regional development director for Salt Lake County — has also received plenty of attention.
But still, Carlton Christensen routinely gets mistaken for his big brother Clayton.
"It's not uncommon at all for someone who's not close to me to turn around and call me Clayton," Carlton said when he sat down for this interview. "I thought you were probably wanting to do an article on him."
Comes with the territory when your brother is not only the famous Harvard professor who wrote the best-selling business book "The Innovator's Dilemma" and coined the phrase "disruptive innovation," but also happens to have a name that sounds very much like your own.
"All the time during high school, teachers would call me Clayton," said Carlton, who is 14 years younger than Clayton. "I was only half-joking when I said I think my mom went to name me Clayton until she realized she'd already given that name out."
Half-joking because she was running out of names. Carlton, 48, is the last in the line of eight children born to Robert and Verda Mae Christensen. First came Elliott, followed by Clayton, Milton (who died at age 11), Maribeth, Spencer, Bradley, Nancy Ruth and, finally, Carlton.
Robert and Verda Mae raised this prodigious group on the west side of Salt Lake City in Rose Park, in a house where Carlton resides to this day.
Of all the wisdom the parents imparted to their offspring, getting an education was right there at the top of the list. Every one of the kids owns a college diploma and many of them more than one. Carlton has a bachelor's degree from the University of Utah. Among the siblings they have 15 degrees, including three MBAs, two Ph.D.s and one Rhodes scholarship.
(They're also all tall. Robert was 6-foot-8 and Verda Mae almost 6 feet. The shortest Christensen is Nancy at 5-foot-8. Spencer is the tallest at 7 feet, then Carlton at 6-foot-10, Clayton at 6-foot-8, Elliott at 6-foot-6, Brad at 6-foot-3 and Maribeth at 6-foot-2).
For careers, half went into education and half into business.
The lone politician is Carlton.
He was 31 when he first ran for the Salt Lake City Council, in 1997. He retired undefeated after being re-elected three straight times.
Last summer, upon learning of his decision to leave city politics at the end of the year, Ben McAdams, the newly elected Salt Lake County mayor and a Democrat, created the position of development director and reached out to Christensen, a Republican, to fill the chair.
He might be a Republican, but a moderate one, with a reputation as a bridge-builder and peacemaker and legions of friends throughout the county and the state Legislature.
The Deseret News sat down for a question-and-answer session with Carlton, not Clayton, Christensen.
Deseret News: Thank you for your time and this opportunity. Your position as development director with the county didn't exist before you came on board; what does the job entail?
Carlton Christensen: It brings together areas of county government not previously focused under one roof. This includes emergency services (disaster response), economic development, community resources and development (affordable housing programs and homeless services and special loan funds), the Criminal Justice Advisory Council, the Grants Office, and long range planning and transportation.

The Experimental Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics group conducts research in deep underground, low background experiments. We are actively involved in several major International experiments as well as leading several local R&D experiments and activities. Our group practices experimental nuclear physics experiments, background measurements, simulations, material science, and more. Several of our projects are conducted underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility at Homestake in Lead, SD.
Neutrinoless double-beta decay searches play a major role in determining the nature of neutrinos, the existence of a lepton violating process, and the effective Majorana neutrino mass. The Majorana Collaboration proposes to assemble an array of HPGe detectors to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 76-Ge. Our proposed method uses the well-established technique of searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in high purity Ge-diode radiation detectors that play both roles of source and detector. The technique is augmented with recent improvements in signal processing and detector design, and advances in controlling intrinsic and external backgrounds. Initially, Majorana aims to construct a prototype module containing 60 kg of Ge detectors to demonstrate the potential of a future 1-tonne experiment. The Demonstrator Module is under construction at the Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake in Lead, SD.
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Experiment presents a program for the construction and deployment of a large two-phase liquid/gas xenon dark matter detector and water shield, to be installed in the Sanford Deep Underground Laboratory at the Homestake Mine, South Dakota. Liquid Xenon both scintillates and becomes ionized when hit by particles (i.e. photons, neutrons, and potentially dark matter). The ratio of scintillation over ionization energy caused by the collision provides a way of identifying the interacting particle. The leading theoretical dark matter candidate, the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP), could be identified in this way. A large detector is required to not only set such a sensitivity limit, but also to accumulate WIMP statistics in a reasonable time frame if a signal is detected. The LUX program will also help develop the technologies required for 1–10 ton dark matter detectors. The detector is currently being assembled and tested in a surface laboratory while the underground site, the Davis Cavern on the 4850-ft. level, is being outfitted for experiments.
The DEAP/CLEAN collaboration is pursuing a staged approach to WIMP detection, focused on exploiting the unique properties of liquid argon and neon as a scintillator. All noble gases scintillate when charged particles pass through them, and when liquified, have a high enough density to make an effective WIMP target. In addition, the timing of the scintillation light allow nuclear recoils (the signal of WIMPs) to be separated from electron recoils (caused by natural radioactivity) with extremely high efficiency. Under construction to begin operation at SNOLAB in 2011 is MiniCLEAN, a 150 kg fiducial volume (360 kg total) of liquid argon or 85 kg fiducial volume (310 kg total) of liquid neon.
The collaboration for the Assay and Aquisition of Radiopure Materials (AARM) seeks to establish a Facility for the Assay and Aquisition of Radiopure Materials (FAARM) to fulfill the assay and characterization needs of low-background experiments stationed underground at DUSEL. The goal is to provide a laboratory that can not only assist in the screening of materials used in experiments, but also provide an integrated, shielded laboratory space for R&D activities in a clean, low-background environment.Dongming Mei is a Co-PI of AARM.
Ultra-high purity germanium crystals are grown at USD for ultra-low background experiments at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) at Homestake. When completed, SURF will be the only site in the world where growth of germanium crystals of unprecedented purity in an underground environment is possible.
Currently, High quality crystals are grown and harvested at the temporary surface growth facility located on the USD campus. One third of the grown crystals will be manufactured into detectors. The remaining crystals will be fabricated into wafers that have broad applications in electro and optical devices and solar panels, with the potential to create jobs and generate revenue within the state.
Dr. Dongming Mei and his research team are developing a plan to convert bulk germanium into the ultra-pure material used to create detectors. They have also developed a plan for the wafers, considered a less pure byproduct, which will include commercial applications for greater economic development.
The next generation neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment and dark matter direct searches require ultra-pure detectors. Our group is leading an effort to grow ultra-pure Ge crystals. The project includes efforts in purification via zone refining, crystal characterization, and detector development which will all ultimately take place underground at the Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake to avoid cosmogenic radioisotope production in the grown crystals.
USD is evaluating thermal diffusion as a method of isotopic separation for depleting argon gas of its radioactive isotope, 39-Argon, for potential use in noble liquid dark matter experiments as it could reduce a source of intrinsic background. Thermal diffusion exploits a temperature gradient to produce a concentration gradient along the length of a vertical column, which concentrates lighter isotopes towards the top of a long narrow column. A set of test columns is currently under R&D operation to optimize the technique and develop a system for gas extraction and automation.
Low-Background nuclear and particle astrophysics experiments often require underground locations to avoid cosmogenic backgrounds found on the surface. However, there are still sources of external backgrounds underground such as those presented by gamma rays and neutrons from the rock, muon-induced neutrons, muons not attenuated by the overburden, and the contamination challenges associated by radon in the air. The University of South Dakota and collaborators are actively measuring these backgrounds at the Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake in Lead, SD.
High-Purity Germanium Detectors are often used as a method of gamma spectroscopy for screening of materials used in sensitive experiments. Placing such a detector underground increases its sensitivity as it provides earthen shielding from the cosmic ray background found at the surface. The University of South Dakota is developing a screening station that will be installed in 2012 at the Sanford Underground Laboratory in a designated space on the 4850-ft. level of the Homestake Mine in Lead, SD.
As an application of GEANT4, this package aims at developing an integrated simulation framework for DUSEL-related underground experiments at the Homestake Mine. It will incorporate all characterized Homestake background data including external muon, gamma, neutron radon and rock composition which will be shared with individual modular geometries. It will provide dedicated physics focusing on low energy regions for dark matter searches and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. The final package will deliver a useful tool to support experiment design, operation and data analysis.

Well today was another great day in the Capital. I have become quite fond of DC. Its clean and tidy, I love the stone everywhere. On buildings, on floors, on doorways, park benches are made out of it, its everywhere and in so many different forms and textures.

topiary lemon tree
Hi there. I have a new lemon tree i am going to plant in my yard and i want to topiary it into a ball. Can someone give me any advice as how to go about this. It is only about 2 feet tall at the moment so it is quite young. Any help would be appreciated. thanks
Hi! First of all how tall do you want your lemon tree to be? If you want to keep it in a ball shape for example and do not want to have to use a 12ft ladder to trim it just let it grow to 6ft.You can have a wonderful 6ft lemon tree with a great huge ball but you need to let it grow,grow,grow,keeping that general shape without cutting it hard until the tree has grown to the desired height.
Good Luck
Took this from an article which describes it far better than I could.
Step one  Prepare the shrub. Once a year in spring for the first couple of years after planting, trim the side stems back by a third. Meanwhile, let the leader  the tip of the shrub  grow. Leaving these trimmed side branches attached helps strengthen the trunk and supply food for the plant as it grows. When the leader reaches the height you want for the center of the ball, pinch back its tip. In other words, if you want a 4-foot-tall standard with a 16-inch ball, let the leader grow until it's about 40 inches tall, then pinch it. You can let the standard grow to any height, but I find two-thirds trunk, one-third ball makes a nicely proportioned tree.
Step two  Create the trunk. The spring after pinching, completely remove all the lower branches on the main stem up to what will become the bottom of the ball. (That would be 32 inches in the previous example.) Pinch the tips of the remaining branches so that the ball "bushes out." Then let them grow for the rest of the summer.
Step three  Make a cutting guide. Tie string to the stem at about the center of the ball to be. Pull the string taut, then measure half the planned diameter of the ball (8 inches in our example) out from the leader. Mark the string with colored tape or ink.
Step four  Form the ball. Keeping the string tied to the same spot, pull it taut and clip all the stems extending beyond the mark on the string. Rotate the string up, down and all around the main stem until you've created a ball. Because some branches might be a little shorter than others, it sometimes takes a few months to develop a good, tight sphere. Just keep the longer stems clipped back to the guide and let the shorter ones catch up.

This product did not give me the results that it promises,even though it softens my dry hair a teeny bit it just not enough for me. Also I used it today and noticed a lot of my hair had came out! I'm never using these products again and I may just give them to my sister. I'm VERY disappointed and unhappy with this conditioner and also this thing has so much different alcohols in it which is a HUGE no no. I will not buy this again...

REALLY, really great conditioner -- I use the shampoo, too -- and they leave my hair shiny, soft and smooth. It looked better than it had in months! I used it at my parents' house and immediately went out and bought my own. Love!

I really love the scent. Very fresh and light. I have fine straight har, but lots of it. It gets greasy over night. I needed a light weight conditioner and this is pretty good. It does take a bit to wash it out. Even tho it feels like its still in, once its dry, my hair looks great.
Will see how it is after a couple weeks of use. I might change my review.

If you dye your hair and want something inexpensive this Conditioner is the best. I struggled for years with my overly dyed blonde hair and once joining MUA and finding this it made a world of a difference. My very dry hair started to get some life back to it. I used the Shampoo focusing on my roots and this matching Conditioner mainly on my ends.
I did need to add Argon Oil to further help out with the decade of damage I've done to my hair. It's now been over a year since I started using Aussie and have since dyed my hair back to it's original color 6 months ago and haven't dyed it since. My natural hair is slightly oily so I'm going to have to switch to another Shampoo and Conditioner once I've grown out all the damage.

Bought this on a whim as I needed conditioner...and was pleasantly surprised. Left my hair soft and detangled well...without being heavy. I tend to rotate conditioners, but this will be a re-buy!
*EDIT* Well, this is a mediocre conditioner. Does the job, but doesn't leave my hair as soft as some of the other ones I've used.

I bought the deep conditioner a while back and loved that so i thought what the heck the other moist products must be as good. Normally i have healthy hair but a while after i got my new straightener my hair started to look fried. So i decided to use something more moisturizing.
Bought this and the shampoo..the shampoo is nothing special but the conditioner is amazing. I actually think it moisturizes better than the deep conditioner and it doesn't make my hair greasy at all. This is the best conditioner i've tried and i've used a lot of them!!
Plus the price is amazing!

I picked this up when I was on my thanksgiving break in my hometown after discovering that my mom's pantene shampoo and mizani conditioner wasn't going to cut it for my multiracial hair (sorry pantene and mizani lovers). I just wanted a conditioner to get me through the long weekend until I got back home to my own products and I remembered being curious about Aussie and hearing good things, so I picked it up. Isn't as moisturizing or "thirst quenching" as advertising/other reviews led me to believe it would be. Great value for the money and it's good to detangle with in the shower. The fact that the giant pump bottle I have says the average person needs two pumps for enough conditioner to cover their head is nearly laughable. I need at least six (I also have enough hair on my head for two people to share though so I don't penalize them for that). It's a good last minute pickup if you realize you left your conditioner somewhere, but I'm probably not going to buy it again.

Too heavy for my fine hair. Definitely helped with the frizzies and made my hair feel and smell nice, but it weighed my hair down. Won't repurchase.
