Desyree leaving Art of Flavors
These short breaks have a way of becoming long breaks. Needs new investor, new location, new build-out. She's not leaving with a future plan already in sight. Meanwhile, Viva Las Arepas will try to make gelato, be unable to get anywhere close to what Desyree made, and Art of Flavors will have to depend on those eating arepas wanting ice cream to keep the business afloat. I bet they'll end up closing Art of Flavors before 2015 ends.
A couple friends of mine went yesterday and Desyree was there. She's pretty sad about the whole thing, so definitely no current secret plans in motion.
If only this had happened early enough for her to claim a spot at the new Summerlin shops. She would have done very well there.
It's really a shame. There's a tub of gelato labeled "sushi roll - tuna and salmon spice roll" in the freezer. I hope it gets served before she leaves.
Desyree leaving Art of Flavors
I was so sad when I heard the news. Art of Flavors closing means the best gelato in Vegas (and probably the best gelato anywhere) will be lost. Desyree is so passionate about her gelato and so creative with her flavors. There isn't another gelato shop anywhere that does what she does. She's the only person who could pull off those savory flavors. I'm going to really miss her Pear and Gorgonzola. I think I still have a pint of her foie gras gelato in my freezer. Hopefully she starts a place of her own sometime soon.
Perfect, thanks! I have 5 hours to buy cocoa powder, do a test run, and then do the real thing. And make a raspberry sauce.
Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find a good brand of cocoa powder. I'm a bit limited by what's around me today. I guess I'd have to also supplement sugar. I'll try to do a quick test batch today (skipping the earl gray) to test for chocolatey-ness and sweetness, then do the real thing with the earl gray infusion.
Do you think the coffee would interfere with the earl gray?
I do, but I'm at my parents' place for Christmas and don't have access to them. In any case, most of my relatives coming to the party are a generation ahead of me and I'm very slightly weary of serving raw eggs to 60-65 year olds.
Had I known how much trouble this mousse would have been, I would have used my immersion circulator to pasteurize some eggs and used them to make a traditional mousse.
For my final attempt today, I'm going to try 100mL cream, 300mL milk, 100g chocolate, and add in cocoa powder if it doesn't seem chocolatey enough. Hopefully this will be less viscous.
Update: I followed the recipe exactly and still no success.
I strained it, shook 10 times, then chilled for 2 hours. Then I shook 4 more times and what came out was just a very slightly aerated version of the original contents. Very little came out and the rest was stuck.
Then I warmed the iSi whip with the chocolate mix inside in very hot water to get everything fluid again, re-charged it, and immediately shook it and dispensed. It was better, but still not very aerated.
I have a feeling this recipe is flawed. Which is strange because all the chocolate mousse recipes on the iSi website have the exact same components and measurements. There's far too much chocolate and not enough liquid. I would say I could double the cream/milk (or even use mostly milk) and half the chocolate.
I'll have to try again tomorrow, but I'm going to have only one shot at it before I'm forced to run to Marie Calendar's and buy a pie instead.
Thanks! I'll be trying this when I do some more testing tonight. I have 24 hours to perfect this before Christmas dinner.
haha, I loosely followed directions. It was the first attempt with the canister, so I wanted to just try it out and troubleshoot along the way. The recipe itself was followed exactly with everything weighed and liquid volumes in mL. The correct canister size and official iSi charger was used. That's how I tend to cook. I look at the ingredients, gloss over the step-by-step, and sort of experiment until it works.
I did not seive prior, but I will for my test run tonight.
I didn't realize it said to let it sit at room temp for 10 min, so I'll try that tonight as well.
As for the shaking, it was me trying to distribute the contents to try to cool it quickly. I figure the metal acts as a great conductor to chill the liquid touching it, so by shaking it, I could get most of the molecules of this mix to touch the metal at some point and have the heat drawn away. The result was probably 150-200 shakes over a couple hours. I think I don't quite understand the physics of how the whipper works. I didn't realize that every shake causes the contents to get more whipped. I assumed the N2O gets dissolved into the solution and this solution is then stable until you pull the trigger and the "foam" is formed as the contents are forced out of the narrow opening. Apparently, I am completely wrong, since it's definitely already a whipped product while contained inside the whipper.
The good thing is this allows me to spend all night doing multiple tests of this same recipe and see how different variables affect the final product. Which, to me, is the best part of cooking.
I used this recipe from the official iSi Whip website:
Maybe the powdered sugar is making it even thicker? The conrstarch binder contained in the powdered sugar ends up in hot cream and I can definitely see that activating its thickening powers. Perhaps I can switch to an equal weight of granulated sugar?
I'll do another test batch tonight and try shaking it only 10 times. And maybe I'll try another batch where I shake it 10 times and then immediately dispense it into serving containers while it's still hot to cool individually in the fridge. That would get around the problem of the chocolate mixture cooling into something too firm to come out of the whipper.
I feel rather dumb now. Heh, I was trying to cool the contents down, so I would take it out of the fridge every 15-20 min and shake it some more in an attempt to distribute the cooler cream touching the metal canister with the warmer cream towards the center.
Dark chocolate Earl gray butter sounds like a perfect spread for a cinnamon raisin bagel.
Not really on topic, but what would be a good garnish for a dark chocolate Earl gray mousse? Maybe raspberry?
Butter? I completely forgot that was possible. I guess I'll have to do another test batch before I try to make it for Christmas potluck.
I recently got an iSi whip and used it for the first time today to make a dark chocolate earl gray mousse. While the flavor was great, it was definitely over-whipped, came out really "un-smooth", and about 80% of it was stuck inside the canister. Does anyone have any ideas about what went wrong or how to prevent this from happening?
Here is what I did:
From what I could gather, maybe I just continued to shake for too long? The last few times I shook it, it felt like the contents were no longer fluid at all. I also did not strain it, so maybe the opening was a bit blocked? I have also read that the canister should be left on its side while in the fridge instead of upright. Not sure why that would matter.
Anyone have ideas as to how to ensure I don't overwhip next time? Chefsteps seems to show actually letting half the N2O out after charging, but the instructions in the manual state to use one charger per pint.
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
I'm going to try a few layers of just mineral oil in the coming days. It looks like the wax does not prevent the oil from penetrating, so I should be okay. I'll also try adding extra oil to the oil/wax blend. It's definitely a lot more beeswax than your mix.
It's too bad your board picked up bits of fabric and needed sanding. Were you using a normal paper towel? I used a shop towel to buff off the excess wax this morning and nothing got caught. Maybe the normal paper towel just left some lint that looked like it was caught?
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
Thanks for the tip and the warning! I read it this morning and changed how I approached the oil/wax treatment tonight. I used multiple layers of a thick towel to gently heat the surface of the board and it seemed to work great. I applied the oil/wax, applied some gentle heat, and a few minutes later the board looked dry and starving for more oil.
Had I not seen your post, I probably would have ironed the board with just a sheet of shop towel protecting it from direct heat. So thanks!
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
That's really nice of you! They'll be as thankful as I was to receive my board. I didn't know what was coming, but had a UPS tracking number and watched my package wind its way across America for a week. I actually stayed home from work on delivery day because I wanted to rip that box open the minute it arrived. Who knew I'd rip open a box containing something I've been wanting for a long time but couldn't afford? Internet strangers can be great people.

"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
I decided to do your method today and it worked well. I used a very thick towel folded twice to try to get heat to the board as gently as possible. After applying a layer of wax/oil, I put the towel over it and used the iron (steam turned off) to heat the towel. Did this for a few minutes and was happy to see that the board looked dry instead of the waxy film I had this morning. So it seemed to work great!
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
Thanks! I like the parchment on top of towel idea. I'll see if I can pick up a $10 iron anyway. I only have a travel iron and it would be much easier to do this with a full size iron. And I didn't even think about the bottom. I'll have to put a couple layers of shop towels underneath too just in case. Nothing would make me more happy than seeing the oil/wax actually go all the way through and come out the bottom. That would mean I got maximum conditioning.
Howard's just says to warm it up, apply, leave on for at least 20 minutes, and buff off the excess. Repeat 4-5 times for a new board. To me, it just seems non-ideal to warm it up and rub onto a cold board, so I figured I'd ask. Luckily you guys didn't think I was crazy.
I wonder how much of the wax actually made it into the board today vs just solidifying as a layer right at the top of the board.
This guy literally dunks his raw chopping boards into a pool of hot oil/wax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQg6p... (at 9 minutes and 30 sec)
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
Yep, world record-setting online gift exchange two years in a row, with a third year essentially guaranteed. 192,256 strangers from 188 countries all shipping gifts to a random computer-generated match. Lots of people go all out. Lots of celebrities take part too.
So this butcher block means a lot to me now. Such pressure to take great care of it. Hopefully the iron method works. The only problem I can see is the oil/wax might saturate the towel and get onto the iron itself. So it might be better to go buy a really cheap iron to use exclusively for this purpose.
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
Thanks! It was a gift from my Reddit online secret santa this year. She also shipped a bottle of Howard Butcher Block Conditioner with it. So this board was shipped to me by a complete stranger and I love it. I'll have to try really hard to take good care of it.
Now that I think about it, maybe I should have done a few coats of mineral oil alone first to let it seep all the way to the center before I started adding the beeswax to seal it.
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
Nice! That block looks amazing!
I'll let my first coat sit overnight and try using some heat from a clothing iron tomorrow morning before my second coat. A paper towel is a good idea. I'm going to use a shop towel so it's lint free. It's what I used to apply the oil/wax today and also what I use to wipe down cast iron.
Here's a picture I took of my board halfway through the first application of oil/wax:
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
Thanks! I thought I was thinking way too much about it, but apparently not. I feel a lot better about myself now.
What is a "heating dryer"? Is that the hair dryer you were talking about? I think I like your clothing iron idea. Maybe fold a towel a couple times and set it on top of the board to distribute the heat?
"Seasoning" a wooden butcher block - should I gently heat block in oven?
I was just gifted a beautiful wooden butcher block and gave the raw wood its first coating of a mineral oil and beeswax blend tonight. I heated the blend, but applied it to a cold dry board in a pretty cold room. The blend definitely soaked into the wood, but seemed to firm up pretty quickly.
Has anyone tried warming the butcher block in a 200 degree oven when applying the oil/wax? My thought is the pores in the wood will open up and the oil/wax will stay liquid much longer to penetrate deep into the wood.
My only concern is if the heat would warp, crack, or weaken the board. I'm pretty hesitant to try it if it has never been tried. It's an end-grain board, so I want to make sure I take good care of it. I guess the other alternative would be to use only mineral oil, but I read a few guides on wooden boards and the consensus seems to be to start with oil/wax combo first to help the board resist water.
In town for one dinner: need one amazing tasting menu
Hi Philly Chowhounds! I've been doing a ton of traveling (not for pleasure) and my two week roundabout tour concludes in Philly for a night (11/25) before I fly home for thanksgiving.
I'm traveling alone and have time for one dinner. I want the biggest most impressive/creative meal possible. I haven't had much free time, but I did spend a little time browsing the forums. So far, I have not been able to narrow it down to a single option. Anyone want to chime in?
I have no reservations. I would rather sit at a bar, but I don't mind sitting at a two-top by myself. No vegetarian/vegan menus, but besides that, I have no preference for type of cuisine. Cost is not an issue (especially in Philly where food seems to be cheap compared to LA/NY).
My last time in Philly, I had the tasting menu at Laurel one month after he won Top Chef. It was an excellent meal. But I assume a seat for one would be impossible to get on a few days notice.
I was planning on Vetri, but there are no openings per OpenTable. Fond is also booked full. Also thought about going to Sbraga, but they only take reservations for parties of two of more. Any use in calling any of these places to see if they might be able to accommodate one extra? Do restaurants in Philly general make all their tables available on OpenTable or do they hold some back for those who call in?
Probably should have planned earlier, but been so busy going from place to place that it never occurred to me that I finally had a free evening to myself.
Any help would be appreciated!

That's how small I thought their kitchen was as well. I could have sworn I saw the kitchen during one of my meals there many years ago and it was more like equipment lining both sides of a hallway with the food pass in the center.
But I got the tour during my meal there last month and it was a decently sized kitchen. It's almost a square space with equipment along three walls, four cooking areas forming a center island, a dessert station off to one side, and the finishing/expediting counter centered and right in front of the entrance.
Here's a picture looking from where the guest stands towards the expediting counter. Chef was watching over the finishing of the chicken liver course and I had a minute or two to observe. The picture shows about 25% of the kitchen. I was about to turn around and take a picture of the rest of the kitchen, but plating had finished and Wylie was walking over to me, so I quickly put away my camera to chat with him.

But that's the group session where the cost is $400 per person, right? I never quite understood the pricing since I doubt I'd go alone. But if I brought someone with me, we'd both end up with a full setup and a jamon each. I would do it if a group of two could split the $400 for one jamon, knife, and holder.
It's a shame they're doing away with it. It's been on my wish list for quite some time. Even though I'd give away most of the jamon and would probably never have a use for the setup again.
Help me plan a one-day food adventure through East and West Village
I no longer live there (I live in Vegas now), but my parents still do, so I don't know much about the newer places in Alhambra. Thanks for the tip! This is why Chowhound is awesome. I'm getting suggestions for places to try in my hometown from a forum dedicated to a city 3000 miles away.
Help me plan a one-day food adventure through East and West Village
Awesome. I'm really unsure about Tocqueville right now because it restricts the food adventure by quite a lot. But then again, the meal there should be excellent.
If I don't go to Tocqueville for lunch, I'll definitely do The Eddy for dinner. Or maybe we can somehow do both.
My other option is to save Tocqueville for lunch on Saturday right before I head to JFK. That leaves all of Friday free to walk around and eat. And then I'd have one really nice meal to cap off the trip.
Class 302 is my hangout spot. If you've been there more than 2-3 times and usually go late at night, you've probably run into me. It's almost as good as being in Taiwan. I haven't heard of Salju, but my hometown is Alhambra, so I'm apparently right nearby. I'll have to check it out.
Help me plan a one-day food adventure through East and West Village
Thanks for reminding me about Despana! I keep forgetting to check the place out. Too bad their summer paella nights are over. And too bad I can't afford to take their jamon-cutting class.
And I put Breads Bakery on my list. I have no idea what a babka really is, but I've always wondered since I'm a big Seinfeld fan. Too bad they don't also have cinnamon babka! =P
Help me plan a one-day food adventure through East and West Village
Thanks! I added The Eddy to the list of dinner options. Their menu looks amazing. Have you had their tasting menu? It's tempting, but I'd have to add on the bacon tater tots. Tater tots are my weakness. One of the best American culinary inventions ever.
I'll definitely drop by Snowdays too. I didn't realize shaved snow worked its way to the East Coast. Always thought it was something that's been getting popular on my side of the US (California). I hate how all the newer shaved snow places are serving in Yogurtland-ish cups. It makes it so much more difficult to eat. In Taiwan (where it originates), shaved snow is always served on a plate. The ribbons are allowed to delicately layer and you're able to eat them as layers. Only place I know that does that is Class 302 in Southern California.
Long Island: Went to Chowder Bar and White Cap, any other places to try along Montauk Highway between Babylon and Patchogue?
They were excellent! Panko and lots of Old Bay folded in. And crusted with pulverized Herr's Old Bay potato chips for an extra hit of Old Bay/vinegar flavor. Served with a squeeze of lemon and a wasabi sauce that really enhanced the flavors.
Best clam chowder and crab cakes I've had yet! I might be a bit biased.

Design Ideas: Flipbookit
If you are old enough, you might recall the sound of those old flap signs once common in train stations. Flipping from Chicago to Detroit, they made that gentle clack-clack-clacking sound.
Last year, artworks by Janet Zweig based on those signs were installed at the eastern end of Wisconsin Ave. Instead of shifting from the name of one destination to another, the mechanical signs featured cinematic sequences with silhouetted figures. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Time Warner-Journal Broadcast standoff is epicenter of national battle

Soulstice Theatre stays true to Pinter's 'Betrayal'
Dazzled with visions of starting fresh, lovers beginning an affair always think their story will be different. But what almost invariably results is another iteration of the same tired prose, inscribed by people who repeat the life they sought to escape rather than making a new one.
That's easiest to see in retrospect, which is how we view the affair featured in Harold Pinter's "Betrayal," composed of nine scenes that gradually move us back nine years, from 1977 to 1968. »Read Full Article

What Marvel Isn't Telling You About the Future of Hulk and 'Avengers 2′
We've heard rumors of a 'Planet Hulk' movie since early last year, but everyone from Joss Whedon to Mark Ruffalo have denied those claims. And, here's the thing: they're right (sort of). There won't be a Planet Hulk movie (sort of). But, it's what Whedon, Ruffalo and Marvel aren't telling you about the future of Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that prove there is some truth to the 'Planet Hulk' rumors after all.

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill Talk '23 Jump Street,' College Life and Their X-Rated Bet
Jonah Hill probably shouldn't have made that bet.

As Hill put it, "I will kiss your tip!" (The tip of what, we'll leave to your very capable imagination.) '21 Jump Street' opened to $36.3 million.

What fruit is this?
I'm new to this forum... so here goes!
I've included a photo of something growing in my garden. I've planted Lebanese cucumbers (Mythas) in this area, but I have something growing which is sweet like a fruit.
There was one of these melons about a month ago, and it was twice this size. I thought it was a big Mytha, so I let it grow and rot on the vine because I was going to save the seeds. As it lay rot, and I went for the seeds, I noticed the interior meat was orange and smelled sweet, like a cantaloupe. It was rotten, so I didn't taste it, but this one I plan to eat.
The skin looks more like a honeydew, but the interior looks something between a cantaloupe and a Mytha.
This is an above ground bed that I've used for several years and never planted melons in that spot or near there.
Can someone tell this newbie what it is?
Looks like one of the "serpent melons" which are actually melons as the name implies, that are eaten like cucumbers...
Don't forget that cucumbers are fruits too of course! I grow the pale green serpent melon variety called "Armenian cucumber" every year, and have definitely noticed the flesh getting sweeter and yellowish towards the end of the season. Maybe someone in the vegetable forum could help pin it down...
BTW: I do also grow the Armenian cucumbers. They are similar to Lebanese cucumbers but do differ. The Lebanese cucumbers tend to stay straighter and have a little softer taste... not sweet, but a very fresh, clean taste.
The fruit in my picture is much thicker... basically seems to be the shape of what you would think of a hybrid between a round sweet melon and a Mytha.
If that is the case... It should taste really good. I will add photos and a description when I cut and taste this melon.
I haven't been able to find anything on Mytha cucumbers. Do they look anything like the Lebanese cucumbers below?
If you grew Armenian cucumbers and honeydews, you might have a cross there. We had a neighbor a few years ago who said his family ate immature honeydews as cucumbers. In our hot-summer climate, melons are easier to grow than cucumbers.
Melons are good at cross-pollenizing. To breed OP types true, you really need to isolate by long distances, bloom time or hand pollination.
Another possibility is that you have an F2 hybrid melon there. You can get some awfully unexpected fruit types from F2 hybrid melon seeds.
Here is a link that might be useful: Khyar Lebanese cucumber
"I haven't been able to find anything on Mytha cucumbers. Do they look anything like the Lebanese cucumbers below?"
Similar. I've uploaded a photo of a mytha. I've never seen mytha flower on the top. They do develop yellow flowers along the vine.
The photo I uploaded shows a mytha about 2 days beyond its perfect pick date. As they grow in size, so do the seeds inside. The smaller mytha are preferred because their seeds are so small they go unnoticed when eating. A good-eating mytha should be eaten within a couple days after picking so the taste is fresh and the texture is quite crisp.
carolync1... it almost seems like mythas are between a traditional cucumber and some kind of melon. The skins are quite nice to eat, no bitterness, and as you can see, quite light in appearance. Similar to the Armenian cucumber, but they don't curl and snake in shape.

seeds from southern India?
I'll be going to Bangalore India in Feb. Are there any suggestions about bringing back seeds, and perhaps what kind to look for? I'm not even sure if I could get seeds through customs, but maybe......!
If it were me I would check for conditions that are close to my own area ie. drought resistant, zone 7, that sort of thing. For trading, I would gather those that theoretically could be grown in some part of the continental US (zones 3 through 9 ish. You are more likely to be able to bring back commercial seed if you can find them but you might be able to check with US customs prior to leaving to find out what the rules are.
This thread is almost three years old and the OP is not having follow-ups emailed to them and has not been seen recently at GW.
I suggest just letting this thread die off. I'm sure the OP has already returned to the US long ago.

Nets owner tells team to end 'Melo talks
Cross another superstar off the New Jersey Nets' wish list, and let the pursuit of Carmelo Anthony begin anew.
The megadeal to bring Anthony to New Jersey ended in stunning fashion on Wednesday night when Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov told the team to end the long, drawn-out trade talks with the Denver Nuggets.
''There comes a time when the price is simply too expensive,'' Prokhorov said in a news conference before the Nets faced the Utah Jazz. ''I am instructing our team to walk away from the deal.''
In the past two weeks, the talks had taken on a soap-opera feeling and the Russian billionaire felt it had hurt his team.
''Really, I am not happy with the way the deal has gone until now,'' said Prokhorov, who fielded questions in English and Russian. ''It has taken too long. It has been played out in public. The uncertainty has taken a toll on the players ... and I believe it has cost us several games.''
The Nets have lost six straight, including all four on a just-completed West Coast road trip that ended in Oakland on Monday.
Prokhorov also canceled a planned meeting with Anthony on Thursday and said there was no chance - that's a big nyet - that the trade would be resurrected.
Denver general manager Masai Ujiri declined to answer questions about the Nets' decision, beyond saying the Nuggets have been in talks ''with plenty of teams'' regarding Anthony and insisting he harbored no ill will toward the Nets for calling off talks.
Nuggets coach George Karl said he wasn't surprised that Prokhorov pulled the plug on this deal.
''I think I've been one of the guys who have been kind of hinting to you that this is a lot farther away from happening than you all think it's going to be,'' Karl said. ''But we've got a fun game, a hell of a team to play against tonight ... and I'm more excited about that than my billionaire friend from Russia kind of throwing another curveball or knuckleball into the process.
''If it's true, it's true. If it isn't true, it isn't true,'' Karl added. ''If it's a ploy in the negotiation, that's for the guys upstairs to figure out.''
There were reports Wednesday that Anthony's representatives had let the Nuggets know that the 26-year-old forward was interested in playing for the Chicago Bulls. Houston and the Knicks also have been mentioned in trade talks involving Anthony.
The deal between the Nets, Nuggets and Detroit Pistons was huge in name power and the number of players.
New Jersey had offered to ship six players and at least two first-round draft picks to Denver in a three-team deal that would have sent Anthony to the Nets along with former Pistons teammates Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton.
Prokhorov decided Tuesday to end talks with the Nuggets, and general manager Billy King said he informed them via a text message as Prokhorov was speaking on Wednesday.
Prokhorov said the Nets received permission from Denver to talk with Anthony on Monday night, but he never spoke to the All-Star forward.
''Maybe he sent me an e-mail but I never use computer, that's why, maybe, I missed it or maybe carrier pigeon got lost,'' Prokhorov said.
Anthony said following his 35-point performance in Denver's 112-107 win over Oklahoma City that he would have liked to have sat down with Prokhorov.
''Yeah, he's a very interesting man. So, for me to just be in the room with him and just have a conversation with him, I would have loved that,'' Anthony said.
Anthony said he never told the Nets that he wouldn't sign his extension to facilitate a trade.
''I never told anyone anything,'' Anthony insisted. ''Like I said, I'm pretty sure he was just tired of everything that's going on ... he probably got fed up about it and he just wanted to move on.''
Anthony added wryly that he didn't own either Prokhorov's e-mail address or a carrier pigeon.
Since Prokhorov took over the team last year, the Nets have tried but failed to land a superstar.
Prokhorov personally led the Nets' delegation in free agency talks with LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in July, and he said the decision to pursue Anthony since the start of training camp was purely based on basketball.
However, Prokhorov showed he didn't make billions waiting for other people to make decisions. When he got fed up, he said enough.
''I am not ready to overpay,'' Prokhorov said. ''As soon as you make a mistake, you can wait for the next chance for the next five or six years. That's why I prefer to be really patient.''
Prokhorov even showed a touch of sarcasm when asked if King tried to talk him out of the decision.
''I am not sure that Billy King knows,'' he said with a wry smile.
King, who was hired to replace Rod Thorn in the offseason, said the Nets and Nuggets never reached an agreement at any time during the negotiations.
''I am not disappointed at all,'' King said. ''It's been a long process. In all my years, 16 years in the NBA, I have never seen anything like this.''
King said he came close to calling off the deal himself during the talks.
''There were times in my mind I wrestled with the same idea, because you get to a point where you say enough is enough,'' said King, who said he was frustrated by ''everything'' in the talks.
The coverage of the proposed trade has dominated league news for weeks, with many wondering whether the three-team trade would ever get done, or whether Anthony would agree to sign a three-year, $65 million contract extension that was a must for New Jersey to make the deal.
What has made the situation so interesting is the deal involved eight players on the Nets and perhaps 15 players on the three teams.
''I think every player on our roster was mentioned in some way expect Brook (Lopez),'' King said. ''There comes a point in time where they have to focus. It is their job, but they have families and they read or hear things that may or may not be true and that's what I care about.''
King planned to talk to the players on Thursday about moving forward, saying the situation took a toll on the team.
The proposed deal had New Jersey sending point guard Devin Harris, rookie power forward Derrick Favors, the third draft pick overall, guards Anthony Morrow, Quinton Ross and Ben Uzoh, swingman Stephen Graham and at least two first-round draft picks to Denver.
Besides Anthony and Billups, the Nuggets would've sent Shelden Williams and Terrico White, who is injured, to the Nets. The Pistons would've received veteran Troy Murphy and center Johan Petro for Hamilton. Murphy has a $12 million contract that will expire after this season.
King said Murphy has asked to be traded and will be allowed to stay home until a deal is finalized.
King called the seemingly never-ending talks on a Melo deal a perfect storm, with the Nuggets and Nets both dealing with new ownerships and managements.
''There is no blame for anyone,'' he said. ''We all worked hard to get a deal done, we just couldn't get one.''
King added Nets will now move on.
''This is not like the Titanic, this happens and the ship sinks,'' King said, adding the Nets' have five first-rounds picks in the next two years and plenty of cap space.

I have Visual C# 2008 on my home computer but 2005 on my computer at school. Is there a patch or something I can download to be able to run 2008 files on 2005?
The quickest thing I know is to just make a new, empty VS 2005 project and then right-click on it, select "Add Existing Items...", and then select all your code from your VS 2008 project. Like Andrew said, as long as your not using something 3.0 or higher, it should compile fine.
Most of your code should work just fine. The stuff that will not work in Visual Studio 2005 is anything new in C# 3 as those language features require the C# 3 compiler.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of things that C# 3 has that will not build with the C# 2 compiler:
(Please feel free to expand this list...)
Perhaps the best thing to do is to download Visual C# 2008 Express Edition at school (if you can) so that you can freely share whole projects.
You may also look at a downgrader application: http://mises.org/Community/blogs/misestech/archive/2008/02/28/visual-studio-2008-to-2005-downgrade-utility.aspx
If you are a student, you could go to Microsoft Dreamspark and get Visual Studio 2005 Professional for free? It will run fine side-by-side with your upgraded version (VS2008). That way, when you edit projects at home, you can continue working on them in school and the project files will still be compatible.
Otherwise, solution files between Visual Studio versions are not downward compatible. Your best option would be to create a new project in VS2005, add the source files then "replace" any code that references .NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5. But if you continue editing in VS2008, you have to repeat the process each time you go back to school. Yuck.

OPEA will conduct a capitol rally April 7th for members from Regions Six through Eleven. We will meet at the OPEA office around 11:30 for lunch provided by OPEA and a briefing on legislative issues. We will then go to the capitol to meet with legislators. A second capitol rally will be held April 21st for members from Regions One through Five. These are two opportunities for you to "Speak Up For State Employees".
Our association's approach to these days emphasizes one-on-one communication between our members and their legislators. We also see it as an opportunity for members to meet legislative leadership. OPEA staff will be available to assist our members in finding and speaking with their legislators.
Even though there is a budget shortfall this year, we will use these days to continue to emphasize the importance of following throughwith plans to continue implementing the five-year compensation plan that was initiated last session. The need to improve state employee compensation is still there and must be addressed.
We will also remind lawmakers that state agencies have been cut enough over the past few years and the state needs to find other ways to balance the budget besides cutting state employees and the programs they work in.
We will let them know that the state needs to review tax credits and incentives to make sure that these incentives are having the positive economic that they are supposed to provide. Currently, there is no assessment of these credits so the state cannot be sure that they are beneficial to Oklahomans.
OPEA is happy to assist members in connecting with their legislators whether at the capitol or in their home district. When our members visit with lawmakers, they should remind them that they were elected to serve the people and state employees are key to providing services in their district. Make sure they get to know you and know that you are an OPEA member.
If you need more information about the capitol days, please contact OPEA at (405) 524-6764.
Many years ago (fourteen to be exact), I remember sitting at my high school baccalaureate service. Being an eighteen year old kid about to finish my secondary education and transitioning to college and adulthood, I remember thinking "what is this minister going to tell me that I do not already know?" Because we all know that high school seniors have the entire world conquered and know everything there is to know about life.
Please join OPEA Executive Director Sterling Zearley and several active OPEA retirees as they meetin with Enid area legislators. The meeing is scheduled for Friday, March 27th at 2:00 p.m. at Northwestern Oklahoma State University - Enid Campus, 2929 E. Randolph, Room 127
OPEA's website has a new look. Through this change we will be better able to provide you with the latest information and updates about OPEA, state government t and agency news. Currently you do not need to login to access the information so please disregard the login tab on the main page.

Smart home and security devices like the Piper and the Vivint Sky provide a host of clever and useful functions, but can be tricky to describe concisely. The same goes for new arrival Sentri, though its makers claim that it's the smartest around. Users can geofence their home, check in on a live video and audio feed, monitor ambient conditions, view trends and stats, set up alerts for "irregularities" at home, control other smart devices, and even personalize its appearance to blend in with the decor.

Channeling the many functions of the modern home into one centralized hub has been the focus of a growing number of home automation devices. With that said, many still rely on some form of manual control, be it through voice, touchscreen or gesture. Vivint is looking to ramp up the automation in home automation with Vivint Sky, a smart home system designed to learn and adapt to its users' habits. Read More
Many of us now use our mobile devices for things like online banking, in crowded public places ... the sort of places where it would be easy for sometime to sneak a peek as we enter our passcodes. Researchers from New Jersey's Rutgers University, however, are working on a possible alternative to those typed codes. They've discovered that passwords consisting of hand gestures used to draw free-form lines on a smartphone or tablet screen are much more difficult for "shoulder surfers" to copy after seeing.

Beach Vault hides your valuables underground
Tossing the e-reader and iPod in your bag can be a great way to enjoy a day at the beach, but when you add it to your wallet, keys and cell phone that's a lot of valuables to leave unattended when you head out for a swim. The solution, according to the designers of Beach Vault, is to bury them. Read More
Today's ships are equipped with radar systems that let them identify other ships from a distance, and while that works well enough for collision avoidance, those systems aren't the greatest at detecting small watercraft ... such as the low-slung skiffs often used by pirates. That's where WatchStander comes in. It's a radar system that's designed to pick out such boats, and then deter their crews before they can attack. Read More
The privacy of the data that we put online has been a hot topic over the last year. In order to protect against unwanted snooping, a group of scientists has created a new secure email service.

The trickle of devices looking to turn the family home into smart homes whereby residents can remotely control everything from household lighting to security systems has turned into a flood recently.

Segway launches three-wheeled SE-3 Patroller
Segway has announced that its family of patrol vehicles is about to get a new member. Developed for the security, law enforcement, emergency response and military markets, the new SE-3 Patroller is a little different from its self-balancing two-wheeled stablemates. It has been treated to a third wheel out front, reportedly giving the stand-up electric vehicle a greater visible presence, even when parked, and allowing for easier mount and dismount. Read More

BETHANY, Mo. — The South Harrison County R-II School District doesn't have a problem with dwindling enrollment like many rural districts, said Superintendent Don Wilburn.
Increased enrollment has sparked the need for a new middle school addition to the high school. Funding is a problem that South Harrison shares with other school districts, both small and large.

Every Wednesday evening, when I get off work, I sit down and enjoy the weekly Reds Wednesday Night wine tasting. It usually ends at 8:00, but for six weeks during the concert series at Kent Station Plaza, we're extending the tasting for the Kent Station Meetup Group. AND... Half price tastings for KSMG members! See you there after the concert!
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

Trying to get in touch with an expectant mum that we met in the park in Shipton Under Wychwood on Sunday afternoon. She had a little boy- Alfie who was 5 and a little girl called Erin who was 3. My son was besotted with Erin and they played so nicely together and it was very sweet to watch them. Would love to forward on the photos Ive got of them. Please get in touch if that is you. I think her hubby/partner might be a mechanic.

In the UK there are an increasing number of women who need donor eggs in order to conceive and a shortage of donors.
Donated eggs may be offered to women suffering premature menopause, whose eggs will not fertilise, whose ovaries have been removed, who have those with a genetic disorder that may be passed on or, older women.
We need many more egg donors to help couples achieve their only hope of having a baby. By donating your eggs you will offer women who previously thought they couldn't have children the chance to start a family.
Egg donors receive a total of £750.
If you could donate your eggs, call our donor coordinator on 023 8120 8359 or visit http://www.completefertility.co.uk/egg_donation.php
Thank you
We are just about to come out the other end of the adoption process and will be placed with a little girl of just under 12 months very soon.
Unfortunately, the agency we went with aren't local and there are no formal support groups on AdoptionUK that are in the area so I thought I might try and set one up.
Nothing fancy. We're new to parenting and new to being adoptive parents and it would be great if there were other people in the area that were in the same boat that we could share experiences with and support each other over coffee and cake (and occasionally wine :)). Or maybe you're going through the process and would like some advice, or have any questions.
We're close to Newbury, Pangbourne and South Oxfordshire villages.
If anyone is interested, I'd love to hear from you! :)
Can anyone help Kiki at all?
If you'd rather send a Personal Message (PM) you can do so by clicking on Kiki's name.
Many thanks.

Identification of historical Camellia
Any ideas on the identification of this camellia?
It is pure white, with blooms 3.5 inches across. The bushes/trees are next to a semi-derelict historic cottage, built by a Japanese settler family in SW British Columbia, Canada (in the mild Pacific Northwest coastal climate). It was probably planted in the 1930s or 1950s but are still only 5m (16-17 feet) high, with thin rather greyish trunks. This year it is in full bloom now (16 April).
I've posted a set of photos on flickr:
Any ideas as to what this camellia might be would be very gratefully received!
Dear Exochorda,
The camellia may be 'Purity,' an old formal double japonica variety, that, I believe, is commonly grown on the West Coast, particularly in California. 'Purity' has several synonyms, one being 'Neige d'Oree.' With there being hundreds, if not thousands, of named camellia cultivars, I'm certainly not sure the one in question is 'Purity.' But it may be.

propagation of roses
it is that time of year to cut down my roses how can I propagate them ? would love to have more
Probably your best bet would be to read through the FAQ section of the Rose Propagation & Exchange Forum. There are differences in types of roses and a significant amount of info to cover. If you still have questions, please ask specifically and we can cover those questions. You might also skim through some of the threads in that forum.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Propagation & Exchange Forum FAQ Page
For generally propagating anything, and if/when you're going to cut them anyway, you can stick the pieces (in the same direction they were growing) as deeply as possible in the soil, either where you want new plants, or in a place where you can move them easily when needed.
If any of the branches you intend to cut will bend to the ground without breaking, ground layering also usually works. You would lay a rock or brick on the branch to hold it in contact with the soil (removing any grass or leaves in the way.)
I usually do both of these (for about any kind of plant) in the spring but if you're going to trim now anyway, it would be pretty easy to attempt. Those in a similar climate would be best to advise about the possibility of success over winter of propagating roses in particular with these methods. I've gardened in OH, but that's nowhere near as cold as Canada (most winters!)

Singer Olly Murs claims that he would have been nominated for a Brit Award much sooner than he has been, if he had not been a contestant on The X Factor. Olly has been nominated for two Brit Awards this year, Best British Male and Best British Single, and he says it's about time too.
Murs explained to Digital Spy, "For the success and sales that I've had, I would have probably warranted a Brits nomination last year for 'Best Male'. Even with my album success and its sales, I would have probably been nominated for 'Best Album' by now. But being from The X Factor that's what you get unfortunately - it's a bit of a pain."
Olly Murs can take a little of satisfaction from the fact that, while he only finished runner-up on The X Factor in 2009, he has had a much more successful music career than anyone else on the show that year.
Meanwhile, Olly Murs is heading over to the US, where he will try to break the US market, meaning that he will be leaving his role as co-host on The Xtra Factor, with Rylan Clark being named as one of the favourites to succeed him.
The Brit Awards take place at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, February 20.

"Despite the order not shipping when expected-Tiny Prints took the opportunity to make everything right about the experience. I ended up working with 2 different customer service reps throughout the process and they were both exceptional. They were helpful, service oriented, caring and professional. It tells me that the training received comes from the top down. And the best part is that I was extremely pleased with the product and would order from them again."
"It's a great personal card to give someone I meet that I want to keep in touch with, or have them contact me. In my opinion, it's much better then using traditional business cards."
"Beautiful product! Easy to customize and order and very impressive upon arrival. People always comment on these cards when I hand them out and they make a big impact without being too flashy or pushy - perfect for someone on the job market like me! They're just a tiny bit too tall to fit in standard business card holder, but that hasn't been a problem for me."
"I needed new calling cards because we just moved into a new neighborhood. This card was perfect! The size and shape are different--square shape. It's has simple art work on the front with the cardholder's name floating on top of the water colors "stains". The card has a "business-like" layout on the backside for other info, such as address, phone, email. The paper quality is far superior to most cards I've had or have seen. The cost was reasonable. People take a second look at the card and turn it around several times admiring the size and shape. Only one comment about how it won't fit in a regular business card holder. That's true, it's a bit larger in width."
"This product was amazing when it arrived! Exceeded all expectations. My only complaint is that I wish I would have chosen GLOSS when I made the order! Aside from that, this was as expected! I purchased it so people could use it as a "picture" for their wallet with multiple images captured from my son's birthday party."
