"This place was so relaxing for my husband & myself.... There is not a bad view ever. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The master bedroom was very comfortable....most of the time we shared the beach with very few people....we felt very much at home in this condo...we cannot wait to book our next trip with Renee. Thanks again for everything! Kim&Ed"Guest: Kim D. Date of Stay: May 2014 Review Submitted: June 24, 2014View listing
"We visited over the 4th of July Holiday and had a great time!.the pictures are an accurate representation of the accommodations.. We loved the vintage feel of it. It was casual, clean and comfortable, small kitchen area was stocked with the basic necessities that you would need, toaster, coffeemaker, microwave etc... Air conditioner and fridge worked well. Being able to step out look out at the ocean was awesome. We loved the place!...The owner made it very easy to book. very informative and prompt in providing information and responding to emails. If we get the chance to visit the gulf again we'll definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great vacation!"Guest: Teresa K. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 18, 2014View listing
"We've rented several homes over the years for our family vacations but this one needed to be really special as we celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed! The location was spectacular, the accommodations were perfect and everyone had everything we could possibly need for a great get a way! Liz was a text or email away and always ready to answer any question or solve any dilemma we had, which were very few, as she had everything prepared and ready for our arrival. We rented 2 units to accommodate our family and everyone had space enough to find a quiet moment or gather together for big meals. The photos are completely accurate. You are steps from your private beach bathing, dolphin watching, and sunset spectaculars! The pool is a lovely little gem for those who have littles that need a nap or cannot be out in full sun for long. All that's missing is a private chef and waiter! It was just all so perfect! We hired Jerry Lukas as our photographer for the celebration night and the beach photos are just indescribable! I highly recommend him for any event you need. Also Guppys did a wonderful job 'catering' our meal for the evening and the food was fabulous! They don't normally cater but they were so accommodating to our needs I just had to recommend them! Cafe de Paris is also a must for any pastry or bakery need! Their cake for the anniversary party was exquisite in design and flavor! My little granhoney said it best when she exclaimed "I love vacation, it's the best!", and we attribute it to Liz and the properties she carefully maintains so well."Guest: Elle Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 27, 2014View listing
"All was great. We do like to keep the sliders open at night. The sprinkler system is set for 4-4:30 AM 3 times a week. The system has a 60 second cycle of an air compression sound that lasts for about 5-6 seconds. I know, picky, but if you could nix that sound at 4AM, that woke us up, then it was a perfect stay. Thanx"Guest: Cape Codder Date of Stay: April 2014 Review Submitted: May 8, 2014View listing

Yep, Whitewater has Gift Cards and they are versatile—you can put it toward any purchase with Whitewater including Fresh Tracks Cafe, Coal Oil Johnny's Pub, Freshies Coffee Bar, Fresh Tracks Cafe Express or Whitewater Ski Shop.
If the lucky giftee is feeling hedonistic they can blow it all at once on a full meal for them and their friends or a pair of goggles, piece of gear or WW tee. If they are into delayed gratification, they can prolong the joy and buy themselves a cinnamon bun every weekend for the entire season. The best part about this gift is that they choose.

Since Phuket is a transliteration, why did the h ever make an appearance? It doesn't make much sense to say Ph is pronounced P. That's why Hyacinth Bucket was funny. (Occasionally)

Since Phuket is a transliteration, why did the h ever make an appearance? It doesn't make much sense to say Ph is pronounced P. That's why Hyacinth Bucket was funny. (Occasionally)
She said: "He is very quiet young man. I don't know him very well - he stayed in his bedroom a lot.
"I haven't seen the family yet but I imagine it will be a big shock.
"His mum is really lovely.
"He was a student but I don't know if he still is."
Not a surprise, I'll bet it was, I'm sure she is and I suspect not.
...ask 'em a technical question about a product, and they don't start reading off the box. Admittedly, there aren't any, so maybe that is the solution for other retailers?
Yes PC World, I'm looking at you.
Oh, and while I'm on, my theory is that disappointed apple customers tend to get extra pissy because they believe that the shiny kit is not just rather more reliable than average, but is guaranteed to be snafu free. They are actively encouraged in that belief, so who can blame them? Apple just has to man up and deliver support that closes the gap between reality and expectation.
"Whisper's editor-in-chief Neetzan Zimmermann and its CTO Chad DePue aggressively denied the allegations – but failed to provide any evidence they weren't true"
...but exactly what would the evidence that the allegations weren't true look like?
I am answering the questions without looking at them
1) Dead Flesh
2) Wafadrive
3) Bugaboo the Flea
And the answer to the tiebreaker is "yes, of course".
Now, where do I collect?
There is an astonishingly high correlation between my predictions of Apple product success and what actually happens. Sadly it is negative. I am almost always exactly wrong.
I loved the cube. I thought the iPod was a pointless kids toy. I knew with great certainty that no one would pay silly money for a phone, even with an 'i' in front of it. I could go on.
The principle also applies to major technology decisions made by Apple over the years. I got them all dead wrong - although .... maybe choosing BeOS would have lead to even greater success?. See? I am the Anti-Paul the octopus of Apple.
What is the point of all this? Well. I think the Apple watch is a great product , and that the Health SDK thingy is a brilliant strategy. I really like the looks of the new iPhones. Pay by bonk (how it should be done) and many other iOS 8 features look excellent in my eyes.
Oh dear.
Please don't think I am ignoring the horror and tragedy of this event.
However, that infographic is seriously misleading. In what way is the 25% circle 25% of the whole? (Don't respond with the correct answer. The fact that there is an answer is not the point)
Edward Tufte would be turning in his grave if he was dead.
Or did the good folks of Ars also decline to buy a stockie of the correct gecko species?
… but isn't that the part of the point?
Doing science gets really tricky when the objects of study get pissed off and object, or if you have to tell the object of study you're doing an experiment - "but just act as you would if you hadn't been informed".
<No doubt they read messages, viewed posts and pretty much all the personal information shared to formulate a case study.>
No, they didn't do those things…
" Researchers did not view any names of users or even the words posted by users. They relied on automated text analysis, through a software program called the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count, to measure the emotional content of each post."
<No doubt they caused a lot of sever reaction in the real-world with their invasive and intrusive private invading methods>
This is closer to the real issue, but still wrapped up rather in pitchfork talk. The research might have triggered a negative reaction sufficient in some vulnerable participants to precipitate significant harm. Did the researchers anticipate and mitigate that possibility?
I say this not because I am defending the apparent absence of consent in this research, but because there is a baby in this bathwater.
When they did the iPad Air, they had lots more guitar picks closely placed around the seam. So maybe an insufficiency of guitar picks on this one, boys?
I got a thumbs down, for that?
Barak......was that you?
I'm sure I read somewhere that in June Obama said that he was "not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker."
Perhaps it is the specific use of the plural that allowed him to make such a statement - or maybe he just had his fingers crossed behind his back
Thank you for adding such clarity to a hopelessly confusing story.
Suddenly his defence "but m'lud, I was wearing boxing gloves" makes sense.
A crocodilian and a crocodyliform?
I wonder if remote lighting control assisted with this, or whether he was simply invigorated by his technical triumph?
Eadon the now Unperson was right all along?
He should be airbrushed back into the digital history of El Reg, and be rehabilitated from whatever Gulag to which he was banished.
The UK has 1.5 times the reserves of the US? Really? What does that work out per capita? Or per square Kilometre?
It's mines. Nasty dirty NHSICes. Master tricked us, nasty tricksy NHSICes.
But NHSICes is kind, and wants best for us, makes us all more healthy helps research
NO. They messes it all up. Master will sell us all and they don't know their arses from their elbowses.
..... Not since the Thatcher years have the old legs started twitching against social injustice. Not that there isn't any, just I've been leaving to the younger generation.
If they start doing bad things to Mr Snowden, I do believe I would get the old walking boots on again. Would there be other grey haired geeks out on the streets, I wonder.
In my book we owe Snowden a great debt, and not just for filling quiet news days.
1/ In what way (exactly) do these alleged personality traits reveal themsleves?
2/ Even if present, do they in any way detract from the service he has rendered exposing what is being done to us and others by those who claim a mandate to act on our behalf.
How do you do it, el Reg? I read it, and enjoyed shaking my head at various points.
And yet...... this 'story' ..... if it merits the term, is concocted around a thing that a few strange people thought was going to happen, but it wasn't. To most of us, it wasn't even a very important thing, and one of the head shakes came as a result of learning the thoughts of some to whom it was apparently very important. Or would have been, if it had been going to happen.
The headline promised dead puppies. Or at least one, threatened, or bumped off by a heartless corporation. To demand my pound of puppy flesh would be very, very wrong. Yet, surely there has to be some correspondence between the headline and the facts of the case?
And another thing. Am I alone in suspecting the whole thing is a marketing ploy? Designed to get the playgrounds of England abuzz , like it was when we all had to work so hard to save Tony the Tiger. Or was it the tiger in our tanks? I can't bloody remember.
So some arsehole runs software which harvests all the mentions of puppies and toilet paper on the interweb post 'story', converts that into an advertising value, generates a report which goes to an executive, who smiles.
Our only weapon is to make sure we wipe our arses on something else, and I resent having to take time to think about that.
After 8 years the rate of release really ought to be reaching an asymptote on iOS. Unless there is something really weird going on. What kind of thought processes are involved in a developer now deciding that a fart app is the way to go?
Unless of course there are new challenges and frontiers in the field of fart apps that my blind prejudice has prevented me from appreciating. Any aficionados out there who can ... Ahem.... spill the beans?
So this isn't about combining solar sails with a gravity converter to finally allow interstellar travel?
Don't you know HOW OLD I AM? My time is running out, and I have been waiting so long.....
Nice trick with a bag of rocks and an LED though.
....demand to read the Estonian/Russian 2011 click fraud botnet article.
It is exactly the sort of stuff I lurk around el Reg for.
Comet was fine. But Karen Fox talked to me as if I were 8 years old, and nobody else seemed to quite know what was going on.
Seems like NASA wasn't really ready for this event. Really?
... did the male secretary adopt?
Kafantaris2...... Steve....... Is that ....... you?
... But in fact there is a lot more bumbling about, arbitrariness, argument and delay in the whole process. The police hi-tech units are hugely overworked, and often the work is rather less hi-tech than this article suggests.
There is no universal standard for analysis, or reporting thereof, so even reading the statements prepared for court, it is often it is rather difficult to gain a clear picture of exactly what was where on a drive, and why.
I recently spent a long time trying to find any research on the probability of finding illegal materials on an ordinary sample of domestic machines. There are anecdotes about malware, poisoned torrents and zip archives containing unexpected and unsought but disturbing images, but just how much illegal material is the baseline on your average multi user family machine?
If any Reg readers have any references, or informed opinions, I would be interested to know.
... Is what I diagnose.
I've experienced this from both sides. I train professionals who have no wish or capacity to understand the brutal realities of professionally administered IT systems. I also struggle to enable them to be creative and productive in the face of those constraints. I understand why they exist, but that doesn't make them easier to cope with.
The comment "The ipad I have.....I don't want. It makes a nice toy but a pitiful excuse for a computer. A ten year old laptop is more of a computing device than a brand new iPad." caught my eye as getting to the nub of the issue here...
I doubt anyone is asking you to give up your precious 10 year old laptop (are they?). If they are, I can see that might be upsetting. However, why is it so hard to imagine the possibility that an iPad is some professionals' ideal tool? It's almost as if it makes some people cross that productivity and profit are substituted for personal preference (pause to wipe screen). I'll admit I have been amazed at how much I enjoy being a consumer of the iPaddy stuff. However, I have also been amazed at the boost in business related stuff too. Not top 500, but it's still a business, and my iPad has paid for itself many, many times over.
What I look for in an IT professional is someone with an open mind, as well as expertise. A facilitator of what needs to be done. Of course I want to hear about how I might get in a pickle with the ICO and whatnot, but I also want to hear how we can get round the problem, in a way that doesn't involve a 10 year old laptop, or XP, or switching to Surface unless that will also pay for itself many times over.
I couldn't care less that other businesses take a different view. I have no interest in persuading anyone angrily, dismissively or with a reference packed post that businesses should support the use of iPads. In fact, if I am right, the more they don't, the better for me.
So, feel free to completely dismiss the above.
"... Exactly match the ones that were engineered for them on the basis of a gravitational model of the solar system."
Well, that's not strictly correct, is it?
O h for goodness sake man! Just put them on upside down.
Upvoted. Good point, well made.
They really clarify the issues.
...and bonus points if it includes a Morris Marina.
'... nuff said.
"Hell, 75% of us arent even aware our national anthem has a second verse, let alone be arsed to learn it."
Not to mention the fact that it goes so high it would tax a castrato.
....the joke alert icon.
'Compiled' is a rather slippery term, particularly if you have a compile free workflow as Livecode does - prior to compiling a standalone for Win/Mac/Linux/iOS from the same code base.
The point is, the claim "Embarcadero is claiming it is the first development tool capable of producing native apps for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android" is one that could only be defended by Mr Logic pedantry regarding 'compile' and 'native'.
Granted, I wouldn't want to build an industrial sized scientific data cruncher in Livecode. But if you are looking to go cross 4 platforms, that's unlikely to be the goal. I freely admit I am biased, becasue I've had 12 years of fun and profit out of it.
Been around a long time, AND it's Open.
I kept checking the aurora watch sites. Nothing. The two wobbly line charts showed no extraordinary wobbling.
So where did the energy/matter go?
"try and predict the questions..."
"Try to predict...."
To cover rumour site dodgy photos, spec speculation, fannorks queuing, same waving precious box, unboxing and blending.

Trying to picture this designed by Jonathan Ive. Rounded corners, of course. String definitely not the hairy sort. Chalk colour carefully selected from tasteful palette, doesn't squeak or break.

Erbium Doped Fiber Optic Amplifiers Jonathan Newton and Richard Jones July 14, 2001 Optical Engineering Dr. Kasra Daneshvar SVSM at UNCCharlotte Abstract With the introduction of fiber optic cable into our rapidly advancing world, we have expanded our communication capabilities in ways never imagined. We can now transmit data for thousands of miles with ease and very little power. Yet fiber optics, which relies on light as a means of transmission, requires amplification when traveling over long distances, such as that between the United States and Europe. Due to signal or power dissipation, periodic amplification is needed to maintain signal strength and clarity. Signal amplification, originally achieved by electronic repeaters, is now accomplished by the use of a laser based fiber amplifier. Background Fiber optic is a cable that is quickly replacing out-dated copper wires. Fiber optics is based on a concept known as total internal reflection in which light is trapped in a glass tube, or cable. It can transmit video, sound, or data in either analog or digital form. Compared to copper wires, fiber optics can transmit thousands of times more data at a faster rate and with a cleaner signal. Some of its general uses are long-distance telecommunications, computing, and medicine. Fiber optics is most recently recognized as the undersea communication medium between North America and Europe. Fiber optic cable is essentially just a glass cable. The fiber itself consists of a glass fiber in the center, a buffer region, a strength member for support, and a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) outer jacket for final support and protection. Light travels in the glass fiber in the center. One of the greatest benefits of fiber optic communication is the ability to send thousands of signals through one fiber, while copper wire only allows the transmission of one signal at a time. By using light as means of transmission, fiber optics are able to transmit data thousands of miles without interference by outside sources. Fiber optics even transmit data purer than satellite communication due to the fact that satellite communication requires transmission though the atmosphere, which is unpredictable and ever changing. Yet, even with its amazing capabilities, fiber optic technologies are not entirely perfect. As these transmissions cover larger distances, signal loss occurs and amplification is required. Without amplification, the signal gradually loses power until it finally dies out. At the introduction of the optical age, signal amplification was accomplished by the use of electronic repeaters. This method requires that the light signal is changed into an electrical impulse, is amplified, and is remitted as a light signal. This was a problem. Original Optical Amplifier The electronic repeaters added noise to the signal, consumed much power, and were complicated, which means they were a source of failure. They also had to be made for the specific bit-rate of transmission, which meant the entire network must be uniform in order to work properly. Upgrading the amplifier required replacing all the repeaters, a difficult task in an undersea cable, not to mention dangerous in shark-infested waters. Using repeaters as the method of amplification also required cutting the fiber optics cable and disrupted signal clarity. Research Question The next generation of fiber optic amplifiers held lots of expectations. They promised to be faster, simpler, and less power consuming. This generation of amplifiers also would be longer lasting and needed less maintenance. So where was a new method of amplification to be found? When technologist went looking for a new optical amplifier they found it among lasers. By using an inline semiconducting laser, optical amplification had become better, cleaner, and much easier. When using a light-pumping diode, a pair of Bragg's Mirrors, and a laser medium (the fiber itself), a situation is created in which stimulated emission occurs and the optical signal is boosted. The basis of this technology relies on the laser medium used, which determines the wavelengths emitted during stimulated emission. The new amplifier is simple. As the carrier signal enters the amplifier, it is joined by an 800 Nanometer (nm) - 980nm band of light emitted by a pump laser. This light from the laser excites the medium; in this case, an erbium-doped fiber. Then, as the carrier signal passes through the fiber, it causes the medium to come to the ground state, otherwise know as stimulated emission. The energy given off by the erbium is in the form of light at a bandwidth of 1540 nm – 1550 nm. Just as in a laser, these emitted photons of light stimulate other emissions, causing an exponential growth in photons (Schwebber, 1998). The light emitted amplifies the carrier signal as it bounces back and forth between the Bragg's Mirrors on each end of the amplifier. Finally, as the signal exits the amplifier, it passes through a filter that removes the light emitted by the pump laser (Bennett, 2000). Simple Fiber Optic Amplifier The most efficient laser medium to date has been an Erbium-Doped Fiber, which operates in the 1540nm to 1550nm range. Erbium contains special properties that make it an excellent choice for fiber optic amplification. Because Erbium ions are Er3+, their quantum levels allow them to stimulate light in the 1540 nm – 1550 nm bandwidth. This benefits fiber optics because at this bandwidth the least power loss occurs in most silica-based fibers. Erbium is excited by a pump signal between 800 nm – 980 nm, which also has low power loss in silica-based fibers. The pump signal, 800 nm – 980 nm, is also far enough away from the signal bands, 1540 nm – 1550 nm, that it is easy to filter out the pump signal (Bennett, 2000). Conclusion The future of fiber optic amplifiers lies in the mediums used, as well as new methods of amplification. As additional bandwidth becomes necessary, the mediums used will switch to other elements that emit light at different bandwidths. The future of fiber optic amplifiers lies in Raman amplifiers, a method of amplification that utilizes the entire fiber network as an amplifier. These Raman amplifiers also are able to amplify signals across the entire light spectrum, making it completely uniform across the fiber optic system (Hecht, 2000). Fiber optics already connect most of our world and in the future will connect all of it. From the home computer to the kitchen refrigerator, everything will be linked by fiber optics.

Here is some background. I have a binary tree iterator (say in-order). It is keeping track of its current node's parent nodes by pushing the pointers on top of a stack. Now I also want interoperability, i.e. the ability to cast
iterator to
const_iterator. But
iterator has
std::stack<pointer> and
const_iterator has
std::stack<const pointer>.
Any other way of achieving the same effect is also appreciated.
Currently I have discarded the idea of using
std::stack entirely. I am using
std::deque and
push_back() +
pop_back() +
back(). For converting
std::deque<pointer> to
std::deque<const pointer>, I am just using
std::copy( std::begin(ptrDeque), std::end(ptrDeque), std::begin(constPtrDeque) ); and this setup simply works.
I would still like answers to this question out of curiosity.

make & take green veg that's not mushroom soup glop?
Hi. I'm looking for a green vegetable to take for Thanksgiving dinner. Most of the good recipes that I know require some finishing at the stove before eating. They're fine for a holiday dinner at my house, not so great to take across town to a tiny kitchen with a busy cook tending to her own last minute details.
What I really want is something with the practicality of that awful green bean casserole, but a dish that's more like real food. Some butter or cream is fine, but I'd not take anything very rich as there will be plenty of rich food in the meal already.
Any ideas?
I'm not a fan of that green bean casserole. For Thanksgiving, I'm making 2 green veggie dishes, green bean almondine and roasted Brussels sprouts.
For the green bean almondine I keep it really simple. Rinse beans under cold water. Cut off ends. Steam or boil beans until just fork tender (about 5-6 minutes). In another pan melt butter (2 tablespoons). Throw in sliced almonds (maybe a quarter cup?) Saute until almonds start to turn a light brown color. Put beans in a serving dish and pour the almonds & butter over top.
I've never made the roasted brussels sprouts this way before, but it looks really good. The recipe is below.
In the past I've also made roasted asparagus._
Here is a link that might be useful: Roasted Brussels sprouts
My usual take along dish for holiday meals (besides apple pie) is kale. I stir fry the kale in a hot hot pan with garlic and chopped carrots and dress it with a little lemon wedges. I like the carrots to be slightly browned - they add color contrast and sweetness. This dish is nice hot or warm. Lots of people who don't like kale like this dish.
Peas with tiny onions....not sure why the onions....but just buy a can of tiny onions, briefly cook some frozen peas and doss with the onions and some butter.
I also make peas dressed with tarragon and oregano.
For a package of frozen peas ( think those boxes are 10 oz) I mash together 1 T. butter and about 1/2 tsp of cornstarch cook the peas with a half teaspoon of crushed dried tarragon and a pinch of dry oregano for about 4 or 5 minutes with just enough water to keep them from burning..1/4 inch in the bottom of the pot. After 4 or 5 minutes stir in the butter and cornstarch mixture and cook another 2 minutes. But think they are better fixed at the last minute.
How about either asparagus or green bean bundles? I like asparagus wrapped with a skinny strip of bacon....I split a strip of bacon lenthwise...wrap 3 or 4 asparagus spears in the bacon and secure with a tooth pick, lay into a 8 1/2 by 11 dish, put a small dab of butter on each bundle and and squeeze some lemon juice over all. Can't tell you how much every lemon is different...or you could drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Cover with foil and bake 375 until just tender. You can also bake uncovered, but the asparagus gets a little crusty....I prefer it steamed.
Hate to break it to you, but green bean casserole does get eaten at pot luck meals! I have tried other dishes with my family but the GB Casserole always is a hit and other experimental dishes get ignored. So while you may feel a sense of accomplishment to do others a favor by not serving the "dreaded green bean casserole", other veggie choices may be thrown in the garbage! *shrugs shoulders*
Any possibility of a green vegetable salad? I have a couple featuring broccoli, and one featuring marinated asparagus. That would mean no need for you to do anything in the kitchen. Or you could do something in the crockpot, that would probaby keep warm enough during the drive over there if you kept the stuff in the crock. I know it takes mine hours to cool off. You could bring the crockpot with you and plug it in somewhere in the house not in the kitchen if you had to wait some time before dinner. I have done that. And Linda's idea about frozen peas is a good one. They take a mere few minutes to cook, and are quite good if you don't overcook anyway.
I also love brussels sprouts, in nearly any form, but a lot of others do not, so I make them for my own dinners.
My family loves the green bean casserole, and I abhor it. Not only is it too salty and has that fake canned soup flavor, the texture is just too gloppy for me, I'm strange about texture. I've tried making it homemade with white sauce instead of canned soup and everyone else didn't like it, go figure.
This year we're not having it and I don't care who likes it, they can make the stuff at home! I'm making broccoli and cheese (which my mother adores) and if pressed, I'll sprinkle the top with some of those fried onion things, LOL.
As lpink mentioned, could a cold salad do? There is that broccoli/raisin/bacon kind of salad, my family also loves that, or a layered salad of some type. Something cool and crunchy might be welcome with other hot or creamy type things.
Although it's not a very "green" one, I like the roasted mixed veg with cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. Get a nice char on the vegs but still keep some crispness to them. Not a good transportable one, but an electric frypan would whip it up in no time on site. Otherwise the chopped salad with the above, bacon, onion, mayo, some cashews, etc is good too. That would transport well and need no on-site prep.
I never make green bean casserole....the only place I have had it is at potlucks....and my family is the same. But for some odd reason I decided to make it for Thanksgiving...thinking perhaps the teen agers would like it.
Nope....threw all but the "polite spoonful" away.
We just don't like it...
These sound good! Do you think any of them would keep well in a crockpot, or popped in the oven for a few minutes to reheat? I could keep them fairly warm before then.
The other guests are all foodies to an extent, so I think they'll enjoy anything. The host doesn't like brussels sprouts, so I won't make them. He might like them just fine roasted, but this probably isn't the time to test that!
Someone else is bringing a salad, and she usually makes a fairly substantial one. I will call my hostess this evening & double check re oven & stove availability.
Spinach and Artichoke Bake
2 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach
1/4 C. butter
1/2 C. finely chopped onion
1 14 1/2 oz. can artichoke hearts, quartered and drained
1 16 oz. carton sour cream
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Cook spinach, drain well, pressing with paper towels. Melt butter in large skillet. Add onion, cook until tender. Gently stir in Spinach and artichokes and next 3 ingredients. Stir in 1/4 C. Parmesan. Spoon in lightly greased casserole. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 350 25 - 30 min.
Green Beans with Roasted Onions
6 medium onions (2 1/2 lb.) peeled, cut vertically through root end into 12 wedges
3 lb. green beans, trimmed
2 cans low sodium chicken broth
6 T. butter
3 T. sugar
2 T. red wine vinegar
Spray 2 large cookie sheets with pam. Arrange onions in single layer. Dot equally with 4 T. butter. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 450 until onions are brown (dark) on bottoms (35 min). Boil broth in heavy skillet over high heat until reduced to 1/2 C. (6 min.) Add sugar and vinegar whisking until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Add onions, reduce to medium low. Simmer about 5 min. Season with S & P. Can be prepared day ahead. Cook beans until crisp tender. Reheat onion mixture. Drain beans. Add remaining 2 T. butter and toss to coat. Mound beans in large shallow bowl. Top with onion mixture.
I have mad this whole dish ahead of time. Undercook the beans slightly, toss in the butter and put in an oven proof dish, top with the onions and heat up before serving.
The following recipe is also very good but for some reason or other I always pair it with beef tenderloin for Christmas:
Luxe Peas and Celery
4 T. butter
1 C. celery cut on bias
2 3 oz. jars sliced mushrooms, drained (I saute' fresh sliced mushrooms)
4 T. pimiento, chopped
4 T. finely chopped onions
1 tsp. salt
dash freshly ground pepper
2 10 oz. pkg. petite peas, cooked and drained
Melt butter in skillet. Add next six ingredients. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently until celery is crisp done. about 5 -7 min. Add peas heat just till hot.
I have also made this up and put in oven-proof dish and heated through just before serving.
A few years ago my mom gave me a Pyrex dish with plastic cover that fits in an insulated carry case and has a thing that you heat in the micro and pace in the bottom before putting the hot casserole dish in. That thing has gotten some use! But not everyone has one of these....LOL
If you don't have too far to go you could make this and wrap it in towels to keep warm until you arrive.
It is a favorite from Sharon Cb aka Canarybird, a former member that we all love.
serves 8
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
4 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large)
1/4cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups milk
About 3 pounds frozen chopped spinach, defrosted (5 10-ounce packages)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saut� pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saut� until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the flour and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Add the cream and milk and cook until thickened.
Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce. Add 1/2cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
Transfer the spinach to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2cup Parmesan and the Gruyere on top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately.
If you can get the oven for 15\-20 minutes, this one is really good as well.
Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
Copyright 2002, Barefoot Contessa
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
2 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus (about 30 large)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 lemons cut in wedges, for serving
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
If the stalks of the asparagus are thick, peel the bottom 1/2 of each. Lay them in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute. Serve with lemon wedges.
Does it have to be green? Or will colorful do? I think this could survive a trip in a dish wrapped in towels as mentioned earlier. Or maybe roast them half way and finish in your friend's oven....another thought. They are delicious!
Maple Roasted Vegetables
From Cuisine at Home Holiday Menus
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c maple syrup
1 lb rutabaga, peeled and cut into 2" pieces
1 lb baby carrots
1 lb turnips, quartered
1 lb parsnips, quartered lengthwise
1 red onion, cut into wedges
Salt & pepper to taste
Chopped fresh thyme
Preheat oven to 375F. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
Whisk oil and syrup together in a small bowl. Combine prepared vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with oil/syrup mixture. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, toss to coat. Divide vegetables between baking sheets and roast in oven until tender and browned, about 45 minutes.
Sprinkle with thyme before serving.
I agree with the above. If you use brussel sprouts, cut them into quarters because they really change flavor when they caramelize. Take any number of root vegetables - carrots, turnips, rutabagas, etc., and even cut up some squash, if you have small cippolini onions peel those and add, maybe cut into halves or quarters if they're a little larger. Toss together with herbs, salt, pepper and whatever other seasonings you want and bake. Add some chopped hazelnuts if you want. Every so often shake the pan around or move the stuff with a spatula so it browns evenly. Leave out the brussel sprouts if you want, but I think it's a shame.
It isn't the season around here for baby leeks either. Although not local, asparagus and leeks are available year around. Transportation has obviously improved greatly, because it is possible to purchase asparagus that actually tastes like asparagus.
Here are my favorites:
1. Lightly sauteed assorted greens. I sautee them with garlic infused olive oil, just a tad salt pork fat and leeks until the greens are bright but not wilted i.e. a very quick sautee.
2. Roasted green & white asparagus bundles wrapped in bacon. The key is to par cook the bacon until lightly browned but still flexible. Wrap the bundles and roast just a few minutes until the asparagus tips just start to carmelize but not droopy.
3. Fresh baby vegetable medley: baby 3" long zucchini, baby carrots, baby corn, baby snap peas. I steam each type of vegetable individually until crisp tender then toss all the veggies together with a little garlic infused olive oil, fresh ground sea salt and pepper and some crisp fried shallots.
I undercook all the veggies, preheat the serving dishes with hot water, cover with foil and wrap the dishes in bath towels. These will stay warm for 1-2 hours and be perfectly cooked.
Great ideas for transport Moosemac! That to me would seem to be the biggest challenge if you are bringing the green vegetable to the party and kitchen space is limited. 'Cause the point between yummy and overcooked mushy bitter with green vegetables seems to be seconds. At least it is in my kitchen, I can't tell you the number of times I've had a perfectly prepared green vegetable dish go from yum to "meh" because I got distracted for a few minutes.
You could cook green beans until barely done and finish them in the microwave with herb butter.

We absolutely LOVED our stay with this family. We spent only one night there, however would have loved to spend more time there just to get to know our hosts better. There were three of us traveling, and we shared a clean and cozy bedroom (one bed and the bunk bed). Oriana and Thomas were accommodating of our inconveniently late arrival time. We were able to meet the kids in the morning, two girls 6 and 7, and a younger boy of 2. We all love children and families. The kids were very sweet and curious and were not around much of the time we were there because of their schedules. At night we wanted to be quiet so as not to wake anyone. However our room also felt very private, and Oriana urged us to make ourselves at home, and use the shower/kitchen etc. We would come back in a heartbeat if we were in the area.

Massive Insider Deal Threatens Erickson Air-Crane [View article]
The LEGIT numbers are actually non GAAP, "adjusted EBITDA" numbers which ignore the massive interest payments and growing depreciation. In addition, the company changed their calculation methodology to boost this metric by 30% even though there was no change in the business.

Trina Solar: As Debts Come Due, $14 Billion In Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities [View article]
Yes, TSL can possibly get access to gov't backed bailout loans, grants or subsidies as did LDK and STP.
I believe that I made the point that Trina's products will continue to be sold, but it will be the creditors that have claim to the assets in the future, not shareholders.
That is the common sense part.
In any event, we only need to wait a few weeks for the 20F, and then a few months until the debts come due, so we can compare notes at that time.Jan 7, 2013. 12:01 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
The End Of The Road For Insolvent China BAK [View article]
Also not sure as to why you didn't know I was short when it was then first thing disclosed before the article even began....and it was highlighted as a column for "short ideas".
Again not sure how you have any hope for a company which has been selling its products at well below cost and has no cash to pay its $170 million in obligations. What part of selling below cost implies any type of acceptable product in the market place ?
The fact that Li's shares have been pledged for a long time does nothing to change the fact that the banks now hold the shares as collateral against debts which cannot be repaid. The banks will sell these shares. Period.
I would suggest you make it a point to actually read the articles you criticize, before leveling such aggressive criticism.Dec 4, 2012. 08:42 AM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment

Richard Pearson Responds On Ziopharm [View article]
The following 8K from Jan 2011 describes Kirk's initial purchase in great detail, and it shows that yahoo's automatically generated data is 100% wrong. http://bit.ly/TUimlr
If you look at the details he ended up acquiring a 14.5% stake in ZIOP for just 9 cents per share. I am not kidding nor am I lying. If you are not already aware of this fact, then it is only because you have not read the filings.
As shown in filing describing the Channel Partner Agreement:
Kirk / Intrexon "paid" $11.6 million for an initial tranche of ONLY 2.4m shares = $4.80 per share. That is why Yahoo says $4.80 per share.
However he also immediately received 3.6m shares for FREE ! If you do the math, that means he really only paid $1.91 per share.
That initial purchase also entitled him to 3.6m MORE FREE SHARES upon Phase 2 dosing, which he received last week. This means he has now received 9.7m shares under the Channel Partner Agreement in exchange for $11.6m cash. This is $1.20 per share. (feel free to check my math).
It gets better, under that same agreement from 2011, ZIOP has now already GIVEN BACK to Intrexon $10.7m. See here.
So the economics of this transaction are as follows:
1. Kirk/Intrex gives $11.6m to ZIOP
2. Kirk/Intrex receives a total of 9.7m shares ($1.20/sh)
3. ZIOP then gives Kirk/Intrex back his money ($10.7m)
4. So Kirk's real cost is....$900,000 for 9.7m shares
5. This is only 9 cents per share - effectively free
This is the true look-through economics of the transaction and is how any institutional investor would look at them. This is also why Kirk could feel safe saying "he didn't even bother to due due diligence" on Pali - see link.
It reflects how much did Kirk ACTUALLY pay vs. how many shares he received. Yahoo states that Kirk paid $4.80 on 9.7m shares, which we know is wrong because Kirk received fully 75% of those shares for FREE. Yahoo says that Kirk "paid" $29m for these shares, even though he only paid $11.6m as expressly shown in the filing.
So please check your numbers before posting things like this. This is obviously very detailed and requires more than just clicking Yahoo and reading. I am well aware of this and I assume that it was an accident / oversight on your part.
The subsequent numbers on Yahoo are mostly (but NOT ALL) correct.
After the initial 9.7m shares at 9 cents, Kirk did spend an additional $27m at average prices of $5.28 per share over 18 months. (the yahoo numbers on these purchases are mostly correct and consistent with SEC filings)
The net result of all of this is that following his new free shares received last week, Kirk owns 18% of ZIOP at an all in price of $1.92 (almost identical to his initial CPA price). 14.9m shares total, all in in price of $1.92.
Kirk has been able to achieve that even though the stock during that time has ranged from $3.85-$7.70 (prior to my article)
So Kirk was able to acquire 18% of the company at a price which is LESS THAN 1/2 OF THE 2 YEAR LOW.
Based on this, I continue to state that Kirk is in fact a genius.
Unfortunately, the rest of us do not have the ability this way and are forced to punt on a biotech stock at $5.00 +/-. If this stock drops by 60%, RJ Kirk will not lose a single dime. Unlike the rest of the world, ie. retail investors in ZIOP.Oct 30, 2012. 03:57 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
Richard Pearson Responds On Ziopharm [View article]
Readers should find the level of underfunding and understaffing disturbing given the scope of the FDA's declared mandate.
I would suggest that readers call the FDA directly, however it took me over 2 weeks to get a call back from anyone despite the alarming messages I left concerning a public health issue. I was not calling central recorded lines, I was calling the direct extensions of senior FDA officals, none of whom answer their phones and all of which go straight to voice mail with no option to hit "0" to speak with a live person. For those who wish to repeat this experiment, I am confidant that within 2 weeks or so you will no longer place much faith in the FDA approval process or infer any significant validation due to "passing" phase 2.
Another link you may find informative is this one, which is basically "FDA approvals for Dummies"
But after 25 years you must know all of this. It is just surprising that you would say otherwise.
I was however impressed about your detailed knowledge of the SEC inquiry. None of the details you state above have been made public and are known only by ZIOP and the SEC. I have made every effort to find out more through my own discussions with the SEC and review of all public filings, and have not seen any reference to the Phase 2 Warning Letter, or even to Phase 2 at all. This includes the 8K which you seem to be referencing. http://bit.ly/Rgq6rG
At no point in time has the SEC given any indication that their inquiry is closed, and it certainly has never ever stated that " this was not a material matter that needed to be disclosed".... I have personally called the SEC to get such clarity and they will give none.
So while I wold like to "trust you" as a "former CFO of a NYSE company", the statements you have made above are materially and provably incorrect. Unlike you, I never ask anyone to ever "trust me". Instead I provide links to the data and the public filings that prove what I say. I also encourage people to be skeptical of my findings and verify details for themselves. Interested parties can contact the US SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 to learn how to get more info on this subject. It takes patience and a number of phone calls, but it will allow individual investors to stop "trusting" you or me and determine for themselves.
Finally, you are right about one thing. PPHM did disclose its problems voluntarily. This is why I said that ZIOP is WORSE than PPHM. Your lack of respect for proper disclosure practices is concerning given that you claim to be the "former CFO of a NYSE company". And your repeated posting of inaccurate data regarding Kirk's purchases, the Dec '11 8K and the FDA approval process strikes me as either sloppy to the point of negligence, unethical, or both.Oct 29, 2012. 03:16 AM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment

The stock doubled over a 2 week period since early June, from $3.70. However the timing of Mr. Porcari's 4 articles began in April, right after the ATM filing, not in June. This can be seen by looking at the dates on the articles, and is consistent with the text in the body of the article.
That sentence has now been split in two in the conclusion.

Clearsign's Lies, Omissions, And One 'Bad Actor' [View article]
Your write up on this situation has attracted my attention and I will be taking a closer look.
I was a bit disappointed to see that no one from MDB decided to post comments on seeking alpha as they did with my recent article discussing UNXL. Perhaps comments from them will be forthcoming.
I am continually surprised by investors such as Mr. Padnos who continue to think that the best way to get objective 3rd party information is to ask the people who stand to benefit the most from spreading misinformation.
In Dec 2010 I personally visited China Education Alliance (referenced above) and I was taken to fake schools that bore a different company's logo. The chairman was taking me around personally.
In one case we showed up a bit early because there were two employees trying to tape a China Education Alliance logo over the real logo for a different school. Unfortunately they were using scotch tape and it wasn't sticking.
When I asked the chairman about this, he made an unintelligible comment and excuse and assured me that the company had really just done $35 million in revenues. He encouraged me to take pictures of all the students at this school and publish them.
At first I thought that he assumed that I was stupid enough to believe it. But then I realized that when he pretended that it was true, he assumed that I would pretend to believe it and the only people to lose out would be the suckers in the US who didn't actually know.
Many people who pump these stocks simply do not care if the companies are in fact committing fraud as long as they (the pumper) can personally claim plausible deniability when the whole thing goes up in flames.
The people perpetrating the fraud seem to get frustrated when someone calls them out on it and won't go along with the pump party and make money on the way up.
After all. when the stock keeps going up, everyone wins. Right ?
Thanks for your research in this article. I will have a closer look at the details and links this weekend.Feb 7, 2013. 10:08 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

How U.S. Investors Got Punk'd By Kandi [View article]
the option has value from day one.
the option can be sold to someone else or hedged immediately. it is free money on day one.
just like the stock, the options will eventually be worth more money IF the stock goes up and IF the holder keeps holding.
But there are plenty of investors who are not in the business of gambling on Chinese reverse mergers with multi year bets. Instead, investors like this get a very cheap deal. They sell as fast as they can. They lock in an attractive *RISK FREE* profit. They then move on and repeat the process with other companies.
It is a much more certain business model than is stock picking on volatile micro caps.Jul 12, 2013. 09:24 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Why Retail Got Slaughtered On Ziopharm [View article]
The point I was trying to make (which I guess I wasn't clear) is that if we exclude Kirk and Fidelity (who was likely only in because of Kirk), then inst ownership is almost nil.
With the presence of Kirk and Fido in there then we should have expected to see total institutional ownership of at least 80-85%, but instead it was the remainder of all retail.
Sorry, I should have been more clear.Mar 27, 2013. 08:51 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
