What is your favorite type of chocolate?
What is your favorite type of chocolate? Mine is definitely bittersweet. Lindt makes a 70% cocoa bar that is to die for. Their 85% bar is actually a bit too bitter for me. Ghirardelli is OK, too, but my husband and I only like the bittersweet. Anything else is just too sweet. Seems like it takes at least 70% cocoa to make us happy.
I'm trying to find a source of bulk chocolate, since hubby goes through so much of the stuff. Anyone know of a good source?
my favorite is dark chocolate. unless I'm making chocolate chip cookies, then it's semi-sweet. But then, if I pass a bowl of kisses, my favorite would be milk chocolate, well no, maybe dark then too. get the picture?!
no idea on sources for you...maybe a bakery-type supply shop?
Lindt has a white chocolate with creamy milk chocolate center truffle...Ive never tasted anything as good. But I am pre diabetic so I cant have them much.
A friend of mine gets packs of broken chocolate from Russel Stover that she uses in cookies etc. Im not a big chocolate lover except for those truffle things,,,Oh my Word are they creamy and good!
My favorite is Sephora Dark Chocolate. I have a chocolate fountain and I ordered the chocolate directly from that company--very expensive but I joined the chocolate club for a while and it was discounted when getting it once a month. It's very good Belgian chocolate. I don't recommend a chocolate fountain--the clean-up is horrific.
You know, for years my DH would eat semi sweet choc chips kept in a jar in the fridge...He'd just grab a small handfull now & then.
Well...He was nosing around the fridge (how dare he!) and found that darn jar I had hid in the crisper full of Dove chocolates...a mix of dark & milk & caramel filled. Wanted to know why I hadn't clued him in to Dove before this.
Silly man....Dove is for females! LOL
Dark only...and a little bit every day...yum.
My favorite brand is Scharffenberger, which our local grocery store just started carrying (so I don't have to go to a specialty store). I agree with Maryliz, anything less than 70% is just too sweet.
I just bought a belgium dark bar with candied ginger mixed in. wow.
Ok, I admit it, I'm a Chocolate Snob.
I found this while googling:
"Officially white chocolate cannot be called "chocolate" because it does not contain chocolate liquor."
hee hee. Tastes good anyway, doesn't it?
(eating (dark) chocolate as I write this, in addition to the BOX of cookies covered with dark chocolate I had this morning)
I'm a chocolate snob, too, Cheryl! White chocolate does not contain cacao so it cannot be "chocolate." It's called chocolate because it behaves like chocolate (melting point, texture, etc.)
I'm also a chocolate snob because as I'll eat almost any kind of chocolate, I prefer it to be the "good" stuff. The darker, the better. I love See's (San Francisco), Lindt, Godiva, and Cadbury. I've also had chocolates from south America that were to die for!

Living with 'Perham purpose'
Harriet Mattfeld can remember when the view from downtown Perham directed the eye to a small chicken hatchery.
The chickens are long gone now, and their home certainly is, too. What sits in its place serves as a symbol of economic prosperity in the area, and the story of a family that created somewhat of an empire in the 'small town that could.'

Hosta 'Xanadu Paisley'
hostahillbilly(4)May 30, 2012
I think I have not yet posted this candidate for HVX False Positive entry.
This one is perhaps the most controversial Hosta that way too many folk firmly believe is HVX positive.
Knowing Brian and Virginia Skaggs for many years, and knowing how thoroughly they tested this plant, we keep one.
All my prior posts on this topic have been widely tested, so fear not, or lose the chance to enjoy the bleeding edge (sorry, couldn't resist, teehee).
Remember, there are almost always exceptions to almost every rule . . .
Brian is now gone from our world and we miss him already.

So what is happening?
Well I have been trying to ignore my seeds and leave them alone for a while--at least until my swap package arrives!! LOL!!...then I will go into full out 'listing' mode.
Just couldn't help myself so I did go through them a bit and started dreaming of what I am going to plant.
anyone got their lists started? Anyone planting already?:-)
I have some containers (not nearly enough!), but I am going to try to hold off on the planting until after Christmas.
Every year I say that I am not going to go crazy, and last year was I was pretty good about it. I did give in and go through my seeds this morning and started separating what I want to have in the garden.....oops!! the list is WAY too long already and the swap package hasn't even arrived yet.
I hope your package arrived today, and that mine will be here tomorrow! :-)

Because this means that it beat Everquest (and all subsequent clones), which is a fucking HUGE success.
The statistics are in no way comparable though, with MMORPG's being subscription services and everything.
They don't bother to mention that the #2 vote-getter in history was the person he was running against. When more people play/vote on he whole the number of people playing/voting for any one item goes up. Who would have thought!
Yes, I know I am supposed to have a "???" in there...
You could always try following the article link...
But, shhhh, don't tell anyone. It will be our little secret...BUHAHAHA
That could be 600,000,600,000,600,000,600,000,600,000,600,000 units--or even more! Simply astounding!
(Of course, it could also be no units sold...)
This generation, maybe. But super mario brothers 3 still is the best selling console game ever at 40 million+ units sold [gamecubicle.com]. Even without bundling it, it sold 17.28 million.
I know that this doesn't garuntee you a perfect gaming experience. But common... For the amount of money they are making, I shouldn't be running into simple problems, such as my character drowning while I'm out of the water, because the server decides to take a nap.
The conversion rate from the free month to the paid subscription is never 100%. 30-50% is a more reasonable expectation.
I'll be interested to see how this plays out over the next few months. On one hand, it does seem like quite a rip-off. But on the other hand, I understand that business is business and that's no execs are going to be devoting serious man-hours to maintaining a free online service when people have already paid their money.
$15 feels a little steep to me, but I would have gladly paid $5 or $10 per month for Bliz to maintain BNet for Diablo 2, rather than let the prepubescent dupers and spammers turn it into
"One Architecture, One OS" also translates as "One Egg, One Basket".

Technical Papers and Presentations
Modeling with COMSOL the Interaction Between Subducting Plates and Mantle Flow
J. Rodríguez-González[1], A.M. Negredo[1], P. Petricca[2], and E. Carminati[2][3]
[1]Departamento de Geofísica y Meteorología, Facultad de CC. Físicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
[2]Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Roma La Sapienza, Roma, Italy
[3]Istituto Geologia Ambientale e Geoingegneria – CNR, Roma, Italy
Subduction processes have great importance as are related to volcanism and earthquake occurrence. Old and cold plates should subduct steeper than younger ones, but the subduction angle is highly variable and does not always correlate with the age of the plates. Some researchers propose a global or net westward drift of the lithosphere relative to the mantle and this assessment is still a matter ...

Chief Technology Officer, COMSOL
Ed Fontes is CTO at COMSOL with specific interest in the transport-reaction products. He has 14 years experience of modeling transport phenomena in industry and 6 years of supervising research projects in Academia. Ed Fontes received his PhD in Electrochemical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) in 1995.
Simulation of a Heated Tool System for Jet Electrochemical Machining
M. Hackert[1], G. Meichsner[2], and A. Schubert[1][2]
[1]Chair Micromanufacturing Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz, Germany
[2]Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology, Chemnitz, Germany
Jet Electrochemical Machining (Jet-ECM) is an unconventional procedure using localized anodic dissolution for micromachining. An increasing of the electrolyte temperature will lead to an increase of the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte by about 30% and to a reduction of the dynamic viscosity of the electrolyte by about 25 %. Both will improve the process. Therefore a Jet-ECM tool system ...
Gravity-Driven Film Flow: Design of Bottom Topography
C. Heining[1] and N. Aksel[1]
[1]Applied Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics, University of Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Germany
We study the gravity-driven film flow of a Newtonian liquid down an inclined plane. Many applications such as heat- and mass exchangers and evaporators or film coaters require undulated or rippled bottom topographies. In these cases, the interplay of gravity, surface tension and inertia leads to a response of the interface which furthermore strongly depends on the shape of the bottom topography. ...
An Extension of Lauwerier's Solution for Heat Flow in Saturated Porous Media
S. Saeid[1] and F.B.J. Barends[2]
[1]Technical University of Delft, Delft, The Netherlands
[2]Deltares and TU-Delft, Delft, The Netherlands
One of the crucial topics in this century is sustainable energy. In this respect, the exploitation of geothermal energy from deep hot aquifers becomes opportune. Hence, insight is required in the heat balance of potential aquifer systems. Essential issues are convection, conduction and dispersion. This article focuses on Lauwerier's problem. As an extension, it is suggested that beside ...
Study of an Electroacoustic Absorber
A-S. Moreau[1], H. Lissek[1], and R. Boulandet[1]
[1]EPFL-STI-IEL-LEMA, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
In this paper, the underlying concept of electroacoustic absorbers is studied with the help of Comsol Multiphysics® Acoustics Module. Among the different ways to obtain variable acoustic properties on an electroacoustic transducer's voicing face, there is the shunting of the transducer's electrical input. With such shunt devices, the acoustic impedance that the transducer's membrane presents ...
Thin Membrane Modelling for the Electrical Stimulation of Auditory Nerve
A. Grünbaum[1], S. Petersen[1], H.W. Pau[2], and U. van Rienen[1]
[1]IEF funded by DFG Research Training Group 1505/1 Welisa, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany
[2]Otolaryngology "Otto Körner", University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany
Modeling of 2-5 μm thin membranes into a cochlea with a width of 2 cm is computationally. The paper is focused on two approximative methods used to overcome this problem and in addition a simple model challenging of a plate capacitor with a thin membrane of different thickness in-between is presented. The results of simulations with both thin layer approximation methods are compared with those ...
Growth and Remodelling of Intracranial Saccular Aneurysms
A. Di Carlo[1], V. Sansalone[2], A. Tatone[3], and V. Varano[1]
[1]Modelling and Simulation Lab, Università Roma Tre, Roma, Italy
[2]Laboratoire de Mécanique Physique, Université Paris Est, Paris, France
[3]DISAT, Università degli Studi dell'Aquila, L'Aquila, Italy
We present a mechanical model a growing spherical shell suitable for predicting the evolution of a Saccular Cerebral Artery Aneurysms (SCAA). It relies basically on the Kröner-Lee decomposition, used to describe the interplay between the current and the relaxed configuration of body elements. Rupture or stabilization of a SCAA are the end effect of a number of biological mechanisms, still poorly ...
Modeling Contaminant Diffusion in Highly Complex Rock Structures
N. Diaz[1], A. Jakob[1], L. Van Loon[1], and D. Grolimund[2]
[1]Paul Sherrer Institut NES/LES, Villigen PSI, Switzerland
[2]Paul Sherrer Institut NES/SLS, Villigen PSI, Switzerland
Opalinus clay is currently being proposed as a potential host rock for radioactive waste repository in deep geological formation. It is then important for performance assessments to understand the transport properties of such rocks. Clay materials are characterized by low hydraulic conductivities and diffusion is assumed to be the main transport mechanism. The studied rock is a complex assembly ...

HoopsHype Timofey Mozgov rumors
Kaun added that Timofey Mozgov's presence at Cavs is not an additional motivation, but a bonus - "it would be fun to play alongside my countryman". Sportando
And who knows, maybe he can lead Russia to possible glory at Eurobasket, and at the same time book a ticket to Brazil for the 2016 Olympics, where they have a chance to better the bronze medal that they captured in London in 2012. Hosts and reigning European champions France stand in their way though, along with Bosnia & Herzegovina, Israel, Poland and Finland. The group is strong but the Cleveland Cavalier is confident in his own national side's ability. "The group is very interesting," Mozgov said. "France is going to play at home and will have a lot of fans supporting them. The other teams are also very competitive but we have also a solid team. The tournament is going to be very nice and a lot of different teams can fight for the title." TalkBasket
Power forward Joffrey Lauvergne is expected to be signed and with the Nuggets at some point next week, according to an NBA source. The Nuggets are attempting to get the Frenchman inked to a multiyear deal. The open roster spot, courtesy of the Timofey Mozgov trade, has made getting Lauvergne on the roster easier because there are no other moves needed in order to get him eligible to play. Denver Post
Love didn't totally agree with James' assessment. "Maybe one look, but it was more so on a swing-swing to [Matthew Dellavedova]," Love said. "I think a guy was closing out on me and I hit Delly and Delly didn't end up shooting it. But, no, I think I had some good looks in the first quarter -- a couple tip-ins that I missed; [Timofey Mozgov] and I both went for the lob, I thought I had my hand on it, and missed that one. But, you know, getting good looks there. Not for lack of confidence, no." ESPN.com
Timofey Mozgov is a boss. After he matched his season high with five blocks, Mozgov sat in the middle of the Cavs locker room eating a pizza. Not a piece of pizza. An ENTIRE pizza. The box was on his lap and it was half-gone when I stopped watching. Unfortunately, no still photography is allowed in NBA locker rooms, so there is no footage. But all of the writers standing around watching were impressed. Akron Beacon Journal
Mozgov has a $4.9 million team option for the 2015-16 season. So the center can't be a free agent until the summer of 2016. You can be sure the Cavs will pick up that option. Cleveland Plain Dealer
General Manager David Griffin was trying to trade for Timofey Mozgov long before he hired David Blatt as coach. His quest for the 7-foot-1 Russian began within weeks of Griffin replacing Chris Grant as general manager on Feb. 6, 2014. But Denver was not interested. That changed three weeks ago when Griffin turned Dion Waiters and a future Memphis first-round pick into J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Mozgov -- it took two trades in three days. Cleveland Plain Dealer
Under the condition of anonymity, some Cavs players admitted that they had lost faith because of the team's lack of depth. A handful of players said they came to realize the roster, as it was constructed before the trades, wasn't equipped to go any further than the second round, if that. One player said the frustration of an "unbalanced roster probably contributed" to the players' poor body language and effort level. Another said "it was never Coach [David] Blatt's fault." The consensus was that their confidence had faltered considerably more because of the shallowness of the team's reserve talent than Blatt. Cleveland Plain Dealer
Mozgov has been in the NBA for five seasons, but he still seems uncomfortable speaking English in front of reporters. He speaks with a heavy Russian accent and doesn't have much to say. "Just trying to do what I can do," he said. "They want me to run, I'll run. Any way I can help the team I will." Akron Beacon Journal
Adi Joseph: Mozgov alert: His physical is completed, and he'll be allowed to play tonight, via Cavs news release. Twitter @AdiJoseph
Thompson was informed Thursday that newly acquired big man Timofey Mozgov would start at center against the Golden State Warriors on Friday, a league source told Northeast Ohio Media Group. According to head coach David Blatt, Mozgov was expected to take his physical on Thursday and he would be available for the first game of their five-game West Coast road trip. Cleveland Plain Dealer
It is anticipated that Mozgov will drastically improve the team's defense at the rim. Thompson believes so, too. "He's big, he's seven-foot, he's long, takes up space and he blocks shots," Thompson said Mozgov. "Playing with LeBron [James] and Kyrie [Irving] is only going to benefit him and we need a guy like that here." Cleveland Plain Dealer
The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired center Timofey Mozgov from the Denver Nuggets. The Cavs, who have been in discussions with the Nuggets for Mozgov for months, are paying a steep price by sending two protected first-round picks to get the deal done. The Cavs will send a future pick they own from the Memphis Grizzlies from a 2013 trade and a first-rounder they acquired from the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this week in a deal involving Dion Waiters. In addition to Mozgov, the Cavs also get a 2015 second-round pick in return. "It was a deal that we worked on for quite some time," Cavaliers GM David Griffin said. "We're very excited about this. It fits our needs." ESPN.com
Ethan J. Skolnick: David Griffin praised Denver for getting a great deal. Felt he needed to give up a lot to make sure he got Mozgov. Twitter @EthanJSkolnick
Ethan J. Skolnick: David Griffin on Mozgov: "This puts us in position to battle any size we may face. I wish I could put him out there for the 2nd half." Twitter @EthanJSkolnick

Microsoft delivers Windows 10 tools for building universal applications
Microsoft's Windows 10 software development kit for writing universal apps is now available for download.
Microsoft's Windows 10 software development kit for writing universal apps is now available for download.
Windows 8 was filled with bold ideas, designed to move Windows forward in one giant leap. Three years later, as Windows 10 nears its release date, many of those innovative ideas are gone. Here's a look at what's been tossed away, and why.
Microsoft highlighted the features in Windows 10 and outlined how it plans to connect the economic, developer and customer dots. Will it work?
What's next for Windows 10? This week's unveiling in Redmond should focus on consumer features. It will also reveal how well Microsoft is coping with the unprecedented shift from traditional PCs to mobile computing. Here's what I'll be looking for.
One of Jide's founders says Android tablets are "terrible" for doing work, so the company created a productivity-based tablet with 11.6-inch screen, detachable keyboard cover, and the Remix OS, which adds Windows-like features to Android.
With software-defined storage in Windows Server, you can get SAN features without paying SAN prices -- and the next release will challenge more high-end storage features.
Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) tightens the security screws in Windows and applications. It's set up for enterprise deployment and management.
Microsoft's MDOP 2014 R2 set of management and deployment tools for Windows, adds new application and user-experience virtualization features.
Powering the new features is the Visualize.js API, which is Jaspersoft's JavaScript-based framework used for embedding BI components into web-based applications.
Amazon expands support for its streaming service that targets games developers to any Windows application.
From secure containers to Docker support, to abstracted networking and storage, the most interesting features in the next version of Windows Server will come next year with a later preview and System Center beta.
Use of Windows XP fell dramatically last month, while use of Windows 8.1 grew dramatically, according to Net Applications' numbers published at Netmarketshare.com. Is this a fact, an erroneous blip, or a historical correction? You decide…
Microsoft officials are revealing a few more of the Windows 10 features testers should expect in the coming months.
Windows 10 will build in standards-based two-factor authentication to every device, effectively neutering most phishing attacks and password database breaches. The company also announced new features aimed at securing corporate machines from malware attacks and data leaks.
Research operating systems aren't designed to replace Windows, or even create features for Windows; they're for research.
Microsoft has made available for download several new Windows 10 features to those running the Windows 10 Technical preview release.
Microsoft is building new container technologies into the next Windows Server release, enabling Dockerized applications to run on Windows Server on-premises or on Azure.
Newly available Microsoft desktop Skype clients for Mac and Windows include improvements to chat and file sharing.
The technical preview of Windows 10 is heavy on tools for the power desktop user that businesses will want to evaluate, but the most important features will be visible later in the preview cycle.
Microsoft's Windows 10 will include more than just user interface tweaks. Here are some of the expected security, manageability and Store changes coming to the next version of Windows client.

The Aspire tests will be given on April 28 through May 1, 2015
The two SCPASS tests will be administered on May 7 and 8, 2015.
The biggest change that our students will notice is that each Aspire sub-test has a time limit. Students will be tested for approximately one hour per day, and the writing test must be completed in 30 minutes. Some students may not finish before they must stop working and turn in their tests.
Our students are more familiar with the SCPASS tests, which have no specific time limits. Teachers are currently providing practice for students so that they will become more comfortable with the timed tests. The two different science tests will allow us to assess our students knowledge of the South Carolina science standards while still being able to compare our students achievement with their peers nationally.
Our Philosophy:
We consider ourselves to be strong in all disciplines aiming to focus students on the changing world and workforce they will face in a few years. Focusing our efforts on the local economy and the global market, our school aims to bring all disciplines together focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics as the anchor. We also use various collaborative approaches to help our students work in teams to learn together.
Our mission is to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children will recognize and achieve their fullest potential through individualized strategies to student success.
Jackson Middle School is a place where:
everybody is welcomed and encouraged to serve one another everybody will have the opportunity to grow through hands on science and technology we respect and care for everyone and everything around us everybody will receive interventions tailored to the individual students needs at all levels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brutally honest,
Olufemi Segun "femocity" (Nigeria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
Sting has been my favourite artiste for many years now, but nothing could have prepared me for his biography. It is beautifully written, on par with his lyrics. More importantly, it is brutally honest, both in his own frailties and his turbulent relationship with his parents. It does not deal with the giddy heights of his Police and solo careers, but with his memories of growing up and his struggle to make it as a musician. After reading the book, his songs took on even greater meaning to me. An excellent book for all, particularly those who 'dislike' him. He is human just like the rest of us.

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautifully written book,
F. Bottrall - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
Long awaited and full of expectation, this book is Sting taking you through his early memories, explaining and revealing much of himself along the way. It is everything you hope it to be in many ways: touching, often very insightful, beautifully written, and (as with the cameo for Miles Davis' album) full of entertaining and funny tales!
It's been Sting's misfortune that his honesty has often counted against him, but Broken Music shows just how much we should treasure that quality. I recommend this book for any and all who wish to understand the man behind the name, and why he is who he is.

P T CHEATLE (Portsmouth, Hants United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
I asked my brother to buy me this book for Christmas after seeing Sting on Parkinson last year, even then when pressed by Parky you could see the emotion of the memories in his eyes. Reading the book brings those alive, I could read them and see them at the same time. Broken Music is so vividly and beautifully written; no less than you would expect from someone with the phenonmenal song-writing talent like Sting. A thoroughly enjoyable read, I couldn't put it down, and in fact I read it again straightaway, to take it all in. Parts of it are sad, some funny, all moving. I'm glad he chose to share it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answers a lot of questions,
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
If you were a Police\Sting fan from '78 onwards, this book is the antithesis for "Epilogue (Nothing 'Bout Me)". There's more than enough eloquently written passages here (well what do you expect from an ex-English teacher) to reveal an uneasy childhood evolved around his parents fragile relationship, and the preceding events to the brink of The Police's success, that were to shape the songwriter\storyteller we know as Sting. A frankly honest, self-critical autobiography, tinged with sadness and so many references to "what might have been" if other paths had been chosen. Reiteration of the difficulty the generation of his parents had in openly showing affection is a regular reference, and a source of seemingly unfinished business. This must have been an exercise in excorcism for Gordon Matthew Sumner, so far, not possible to be fully chanelled through the vehicle of song - though you will understand "Soul Cages" a lot better after reading. The first book in ages that made me laugh (Bingo machine story in particular as I've done the same gigs) and cry (last chapter will cut to the quick for anyone who has lost a parent), the first book I've read for ages that I couldn't put down. Thank you for sharing these memoirs, Sting.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had the determination and stamina.,
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
If nothing else, this autobiography, like many I have read, make me realise, that I will never be sucsessful like those who have a driven want and stamina to make it to the top.
I play a few musical instruments and sing, and like so many, have considered going into that business called show.
Got close once, and was offered Bernie Turpin by a company as the producer.
It never came off (a long story) so still am just playing for pleasure only.
The things that stay in my mind are the parts where he and his fellow musicians travel many miles to just do one gig and then return home again all in one night, falling asleep at the wheel at one point!
A good read and just cements the feelings I have on trying to make it to the top in that in doing so, you all but have to sell your soul to get there.
I wish I had the determination and stamina!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written,
Sally Loren (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
As Sting himself admits, not a typical autobiography in the classical sense - he writes about the most important fragments of his life sometimes movingly and always honestly. He's prepared to confront his own foibles and share them with us, something rare amongst the over-inflated egos of the celebrity world. The book is elegantly and beautifully written and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The reason he didn't include any photos is obvious, but I still found it a shame - wouldn't it have been possible to include something other than the usual family groups in this unusual autobiography?
5.0 out of 5 stars Private faces in public places,
Police informer (York, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
This is a superbly written and truly memorable book that takes you inside the mind of a very public person and introduces you to a real breathing, thinking, feeling human being. No bragging, no false modesty, no starriness. Gordon Sumner takes himself and the reader back to his modest and unglamorous but honest and unpretentious roots, and shows how his ambition grew out of the tortured emotional atmosphere of his family. The most striking things about his recollections are the ordinariness of the circumstances and situations he found himself in, his sensitivity and eloquence in describing them, and the simultaneous diffidence and doggedness of his ambition. He writes movingly of the friendships, the loves and the losses of his youth. He remembers things that many readers will remember, vividly evokes feelings at once personal and universal, and shows us things that no-one would show who hoped to buff up a sanitised iconic image. This is a book both funny and intensely moving, written by a very sensitive and eloquent artist. I have to reiterate that the writing is superb, in many places exquisite. Not your ordinary rock-star biog. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Like a...errr...book about Sting,
Tim Young (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
I never cared much for The Police, but Sting has always interested me. This is a good book and certainly fell into the "couldn't put it down" category for me. It is packed with detail but does finish somewhat abruptly – did Sting simply loose interest in the entire project? Or are we deliberately being teased for the sequel: Mended Music? Although the book answered more questions than I could have possibly imagined having about Sting, it didn't explain how such a "down to earth lad from the North" turned into an "arty farty southern Jessie!" The book is well written, though in some places possibly a bit too well written. Is Sting trying to prove to us that he isn't your typical "rock star thickie"? He really and truly was once a teacher, you know. After a while, the book reads like a reference guide for metaphors and similes -- the phrase "like a" itself becomes like a well trodden and worn path…
5.0 out of 5 stars Sting - Broken Music,
griffo (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
This is an excellent read, for anyone who is a Sting fan. It centres on his life before he became famous with the Police and his struggles to become taken seriously as a musician, rather than becoming a star. I read it in a couple of days, very interesting and unable to put it down. I am a big Sting fan, but I think that even if you are not, then you would find this book a good read.
4.0 out of 5 stars Metaphorically marvellous,
Annabel Beeforth "Annabel Beeforth" (Whitby, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broken Music: Memoirs (Hardcover)
This is certainly a good book - If you are interested in the early part of Sting's adulthood, before he really became famous.
I did find the fact the books is litterally littered with metaphors a little bit irritating - Sting is however an intelligent, articulate and sensitive author. The book also ends somewhat abruptly which leave you hungry for more.

Winter Sowing
Anyone tried the Winter Sowing technique described in the GardenWeb "What's New" section?
Just wondering if it can be done in our climate.
It is a very interesting concept that I believe has merit. I tried winter sowing last year for the first time and had mixed results, but I think that was largely due to my inattentiveness and by using the wrong type of container. My main problem was that I would forget I had them and would forget to water come springtime. I think once the spring rains come it is best to just remove or open the bottle tops so that the rains can help keep them watered. The seedlings would also stiffen up better being exposed to the elements. But then you have to be sure to remember to protect them if a late frost occurs. I have not quite figured out a solution to this dilemma, other than trying to remember to pay closer attention to the project. Admittedly this is not likely to occur as come April I have many other things that I am attending to.
I had best success using clear two liter pop bottles versus milk jugs - I did not like the milk jug concept at all. I salvaged the pop bottles from the local recycling bins and then re-recycled them when I was done with them (doubtful they can be used more than once because the sunlight degrades the plastic and makes them brittle). I cut around the bottles but left an inch uncut to use as a hinge. I used a piece of duct tape to keep the top closed. I then numbered the bottles so that I could write down a reference key on paper of what was planted in which bottle. Much better than trusting plant markers in the bottles which may lose the information due to fading. I placed all my containers on a picnic table out where they got dappled sunlight through the bare trees. I put them in a simple 2x4 frame so they were captured to prevent the wind from tipping them over or blowing them off the table. Once the leaves came out I moved the table into partial sun until I transplanted the seedlings into pots.
I started my winter sowing project in very late February/early March. I see no reason to do it any earlier in our climate, unless you have some tricky stuff that needs intense cold-stratification for proper germination.
Anyway, I got around two dozen columbines, three dozen balloon flowers, a dozen delphiniums, and a dozen alpine strawberries started this way. While I was unsuccessful with several other varieties, I consider the results to be good enough for me to try this method again. I will only be using clear two liter pop bottles this time.
When the time came I chose to carefully divide the seedlings and nurse them in 4 inch pots until they recovered and started actively growing again, rather than transplanting directly into the ground. Don't know if a person really has to do this but it worked for me and I will continue this strategy.
I start plants from seed indoors and grow seedlings under lights, but vegetables get top priority now. Winter sowing is a way for me to still get some flowers and other things started that would normally get skipped as being low priority.
Maybe I will take some pics of how I do it and post here when the time comes...
Give it a try, I think you will have fun with it. Just remember that like everything else, there is a learning process.
Good luck!
Hi Tom,
That is all great to know.
I think even the most organized of us would forget about outside seeds during a late frost. Darned those late frosts!
Never sowed before so I'm gonna take your advise and do some inside starting in Feb.
Thinking about getting one of those seed starters from Parks Seeds. Not cheap but good for a newbie like me:)
Keep us posted on how things go for you and thanks again!
Winter sowing has been the easiest method of starting perennial seeds for me. After six years my gardens are filled and I am trying to restrain myself from sowing too many each year.
I use a combination of milk jugs and 2Ls. The jugs disintegrate after two years for me but I have reused the 2Ls for many years with no problems. I cut the tops completely off the 2Ls and after sowing replace the tops by pushing them over the bottom sections.
My procedure:
Hardy perennials get sown during anytime during the winter, unless they need cold stratification and tender perennials and annuals get sown in March or early April.
Like many new techniques there is a period of experimenting finding what works best for the individual. I suggest you spend some time reading the FAQ on the Winter Sowing Forum. People on the forum are very helpful answering questions.
The only seeds I now start inside are veggies, tomatoes and peppers and some annuals that I want to bloom earlier than they would if started outside.
"I cut the tops completely off the 2Ls and after sowing replace the tops by pushing them over the bottom sections." - *facepalm* - Of course, makes perfect sense, excellent idea. Much better than the hinge and tape garbage, thanks for posting. This is why I so enjoy hearing about other peoples methods and experiences.
Good to hear you get more life out of those bottles than I was expecting...
I would prefer a bit larger container than the 2 liter bottle, but it is such a common standard that I will continue to work with them. I actually came across some 3 liter bottles which are cool and the size I would prefer to use. Not very common though. Someone told me that dollar stores carry their store brand soda pop in those bottles. I rarely drink pop so I need more locals to drink more of that cheap soda so I can scrounge their empty bottles from the recycling bins! :-)
I've also used the containers that lettuce and spinach come in taking the bottoms and taping them together though it's kind of a pain. It's always a bit of an experiment but overall works fairly well, if as Tom said, I remember to water. Don't think I'll do it this year as I really have no place left to put that many plants.
This will be my 9th winter to winter sow. Love it. But agree with others, you need to watch closely for watering needs come spring. The smaller the container the quicker they dry out. I use mostly milk jugs.
Can get pretty chaotic come spring trying to keep up with jug watering, so now I have two large tubs I can soak 6 jugs at a time in. I have discovered I have much more success with bottom watering them, sometimes too much success. A bit time consuming but as they soak for 5 minutes or so, I'm tending to other things in the garden too.
I've got over 150 varieties of perennials in my flower beds here at home and the lake due to winter sowing and the trading of seeds.....
i used larger landscaping pots covered with clear plastic- tied on with cut up t-shirt. i put them into cold frames just to hold them upright. i cut slits into the plastic bags and removed the bags in the spring. i did have a larger plastic sheet that i could cover the cold frames with at night. i know it sounds a little complicated but it really wasn't. i just payed attention to the weather and went by intuition. i have no interest in saving or cutting up any plastic containers so will probably do the same this year.

Should success at any price be celebrated? Because when it comes to cinema in Indonesia it is hard to escape accusations that 'success' is linked to unsavory business practices, tax evasion, rent seeking, crony capitalism and corporations tainted by links to the world's most corrupt dictatorship. At least according to most of the resources we could find during our research for this post.
Last week the CineAsia 2014 "Distributor of the Year" award was handed out to Indonesian film distribution company Cinema 21 Group. The award was introduced and handed over by Imax's Andrew Cripps and received by the company's Founder and Chairman Benny Suherman, as well as Harris Lasmana (Vice Chairman) and Suryo Suherman (President), and Sacheen Lasmana (Vice President).
The original press release published in FJI announced the award's recipient with the headline 'CineAsia to salute Indonesian distributor Cinema 21′ stated:
"Cinema 21's progressive and amazing growth over the past couple of decades has made them the leading distributor and cinema exhibitor in Indonesia," stated Robert Sunshine, co-managing director of CineAsia.
Cinema 21 Group started as a film distribution company in 1969, and since 1991 has been the distributor for all major Hollywood films in Indonesia. In 1977, the group expanded into the cinema exhibition business, making Cinema 21 the largest cinema chain in Indonesia.
So what's wrong with celebrating success? When that 'success' is built on a nepotistic monopoly, links to a late genocidal dictator and involved an embezzler and fugitive wanted by Interpol, then the definition of "success" starts to become strained.
The timing of this award might also be seen as poor, coming as it does a year after the success of multi-award winning documentary "The Act of Killing" and just after Indonesia got its first president without ties to its brutal political past. Our research into Indonesia's motion picture exhibition took us back in time to Cinema 21′s early days.
Benny, Bambang and Sudwikatmono
Cinema 21 was indeed set up 1969, but the press release offers just the most cursory and airbrushed corporate history version of the Cinema 21 organisation.
The founders were Benny Suherman and his brother Bambang Sutrisno together with Sudwikatmono, the cousin of then President Suharto who had seized power in a military coup four years earlier. We wondered why Bambang or Sudwikatmono weren't mentioned or honoured as the founders of Cinema 21?
Could it be because Bambang fled Indonesia and is now wanted by Interpol? Bambang Sutrisno embezzled Rp1.5 trillion [USD $128 million] from Bank Surya for which he was convicted of in absentia in 1999 and sentenced to life imprisonment. He fled to neighbouring Singapore where he is safely hiding with little fear of extradition.

"Doctor, I need a prescription for travel."
Whether you've been struck by wanderlust or have been counting down the days to break free from everyday life's predictable routines to go on vacation, we all feel the joys of travel. But did you know there is a direct correlation between travel and healthy aging?
In 2013, The Global Coalition on Aging (GCA) released an analysis based on current studies that showed travel was a direct influence in healthy aging. From their findings, GCA reports that between 1950 and 2050, 30 years will have been added to the average life expectancy. In the United States, there are already more people over the age of 60 than under 15 and, globally, there will be one billion people over the age of 60 by 2020. Those are some staggering numbers! Imagine the health care costs — healthy aging is not just something on the wish list but essential for the future of aging populations. Read entire post >
A couple of weeks ago, my family and I were four of only 34 passengers on our flight to New Orleans. Thirty-four. I couldn't remember the last time I was on a flight that wasn't full, let alone one on which I had an entire "wing" to myself.
Then on our flight back to Tampa a week later, we were four of 50. Fifty! I'm sure it wasn't Southwest's idea of a good time, but it worked out beautifully for my husband and I, who were able to spread out across two rows with our 4-year-old and infant.
Those flights got me thinking (which is always dangerous): What's going on? Are travelers driving instead of flying? Read entire post >

Vada Chennai is getting delay because of Simbu
Director Vettrimaran is in a soup. He had announced Vada Chennai a couple of months ago but this film s shooting is yet to commence. The director and the rest of the cast and crew are waiting patiently for Simbu to return from the US to start the proceedings. The star is currently stationed in the US to record the Love Anthem that he is working on. This Love Anthem is eating away his time and Simbu has left his acting assignments go for a toss. If this continues for some more days, the Vada Chennai s fate will become uncertain, say sources. Further, Vettrimaran has signed up a Telugu film and he will have to shift his focus there.

Howley: 'Hogg can play at fly-half'
ESPN Staff
May 1, 2013
Stuart Hogg could line up at fly-half for the Lions © Getty Images
British & Irish Lions coach Rob Howley has revealed Stuart Hogg is likely to be third choice fly-half for the summer's tour to Australia.
Lions boss Warren Gatland named just two fly-halves in his 37-man squad with Ireland's Jonathan Sexton and England's Owen Farrell getting the nod. With the likes of James Hook and Billy Twelvetrees missing out on selection, Howley has inked in Hogg as cover for the No.10 slot if required.
The 20-year-old has never played in the position for Glasgow Warriors but has at junior level and Howley has backed him to deliver. Howley said: "James Hook was called up in 2009 as a utility player and we discussed Billy Twelvetrees, who was in the mix, but we have been so impressed with Stuart Hogg in terms of his playing 15 and 13 with Glasgow and we think he has that ability to play 10.
"One thing about the Lions is you give players that opportunity and you just don't know. Stuart is a utility player who has a creative X-factor about him."
The Lions opted for a utility back as their third fly-half because they wanted to give Sexton and Farrell as much preparation time as possible before the Test series.
"You need the 10s to have game time. It is so important for a 10 to have time in combination with the scrum half as well," Howley said. "If you have another 10 you are possibly taking time away from the two 10s who have been selected. That was a key discussion.
"It will mean them backing up (from Saturday to midweek games) and maybe Stuart Hogg will be stepping into that position."
Jonny Wilkinson turned down the invitation to be part of the full Lions tour, although he could be available to fly out should Sexton or Farrell suffer an injury. Hogg is the youngest member of the 2013 Lions squad and one of three members of the Scotland team, along with lock Richie Gray and the New Zealand-born wing Sean Maitland, who joined Glasgow from the Crusaders this season.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland said: "We were really impressed with Sean in the Six Nations. He has a pedigree, coming through the New Zealand system with one of their top schools, New Zealand schoolboys and then the Under-20s.
"I actually selected him to play for Waikato when he was still at school. He's come here, he's a big man who can do the 100 metres in under 11 seconds and has been playing well for Glasgow."

I haven't been brewing as much as I use to and was wondering if my two row barley and other specialty grains are getting to old to use (12 months to 18 months old). I keep them in the garage in plastic storage bins with tight fiting lids and the specailty grains in 1 gal. zipp lock bags. I was buying in bulk (50 lb 2-row) to save some money. Will the malt ever go bad or effect the taste quality of the beer that I am producing?
Thanks, Dave
3 things you want to avoid when storing grains are heat moisture, and exposure to air. The bins are tightly fitting but is there a lot of air space in them? How hot did your garage get?
I left some specialty grains in my freezer for about 3 years. The ones that were sealed with most of the air removed were good and made good beer. I had one zip lock bag that wasn't tightly sealed and the grains were kinda soft and didn't taste fresh. I threw those in the trash.
I would say taste your grains and if they are crunchy and taste good go ahead and try a batch. If you do use them let us know how the beer turned out.
If you don't want to risk it, just replace the grain with fresh.
You're pushing the limits. Give some of the two-row a chew. The biggest problems will be the fats going rancid and the starches getting stale. Both will be obvious.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

The Juncker Commission tackling the European health policy
19 September 2014 // President-elect Jean-Claude Juncker has presented the new allocation of Commissioners' portfolios. The appointment of the College of Commissioners opens a new phase for the European Union, one that will run from November 2014 through the next five years. As the executive body of the European Union, the European Commission is responsible for proposing legislations, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties, and the day-to-day running of the EU.
Fortification Projects Receive Highest Performance Ranking
03 September 2014 // In 2009 IF together with partners launched Smarter Futures project to work toward preventing problems caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies, that can lead to diseases such as spina bifida, impaired learning capacity, and decreased productivity. Flour fortification is one strategy for addressing such deficiencies because it delivers essential nutrients through staple foods. It does not require consumers to change their eating or buying habits. The aim of Smarter Futures is to improve health in Africa through the enrichment of wheat and maize flour with essential vitamins and minerals. The Dutch government contributed to the project and in its evaluation concluded that the Smarter Futures partnership for Africa and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) Premix Facility were among seven projects rated as having "very good overall performance".

The Sharm Bride Hotel is in the Nabq Bay area of Sharm El Sheikh, five miles from Sharm El Sheikh's international airport and a 20 minute drive from the famous Naama Bay area with its nightlife, shopping and restaurants. Nabq Bay is a great spot for diving and no holiday would be complete without exploring some of the Red Sea's fantastic underwater sealife. The Sharm Bride has 127 rooms in total and all of them enjoy swimming pool views as well as having their own private balcony or terrace, air conditioning and satellite television. Ideal for a family holiday in Egypt, the Sharm Bride Hotel has two swimming pools for children, a kids club and a nightly mini disco.
The hotel also has a large outdoor swimming pool which is heated during the winter months (1st December to the end of February) and there is plenty of spacious sun terraces where you can relax and soak up some sunshine. Guests can also join in with a variety of activities including mini football, volleyball, billiards and table tennis and there is an internet point and wi-fi internet access (with charge) so you can stay in touch. The Sharm Bride also has a number of food and beverage outlets including a buffet and an a la carte restaurant, a lobby bar, a pool bar and a beach bar.
