Blueberry Baked French Toast with Amaretti Crumble and Blueberry Maple Syrup
It seems that I have been on a bit of streak with sweet breakfasts lately which is unusual for me but with all of the amazing fruits and berries available these days it has been hard to resist! French toast is a great way to do breakfasts on the weekend and although I normally make it on the stove top, it is also possible to bake it in the oven. For a baked French toast the bread is placed in a baking dish and topped with the egg and milk custard mixture to soak over night and then you simply bake it in the morning making it even easier to make than the stovetop version! In the summer it is so easy to add some fruit or berries to your French toast and make it even better and that is just what I did last weekend when I made this baked blueberry french toast with a few additions to kick it up a notch!
I know that I could have left it at blueberry covered French toast but why not make it even better by topping the French toast with a crumble topping? Normally I would go for a rolled oat and pecan crumble topping with blueberries but this time I had my heart set on a crumbled amaretti cookie and almond sliver topping as almonds and blueberries are also a fabulous flavour combination. Finishing this blueberry French toast off with some maple syrup would have been great but I had some extra blueberries leftover and figured it would be a nice idea to simmer them in the maple syrup first, infusing it with their flavour!

Is there a difference between "testing" and "quality assurance"? If so, what are the main goals of each process? What are the critical differences?
There is a useful blog post explaining the historical distinctions between Quality Assurance and Quality Control. I would suggest the latter is an appropriate alias for what we would term "testing" In essence, the author summarizes that:
I would say it's best described that testing is a subset of QA. Your goal of testing is to ensure the functional requirements and metrics are met. This could be computational performance, clicks-per-action, user throughput, feature-completeness, defect rate, etc. Quality-Assurance is a broader-reaching goal that simply asks "Is the customer going to be happy with this?" Obviously, you need to meet the metrics and requirements detailed in testing in order to achieve this. But there's a certain emotional aspect that testing can't cover. Is it pretty? Is it innovative? Does it get the job done? (It can meet every requirement and still not get the job done!) Disclaimer: This is simply my interpretation of these two concepts. It may differ from those in the SQA community, and may differ from the majority opinion. Edit: I bolded three words/phrases per as a tl;dr |
If you are trying to determine what jobs to apply to based on title, I think the best current practice is to pay less attention to the terms used and more attention to the company culture and the specifics of the job description. If you are trying to communicate with testers or QA folks, I think the best current practice is to use other words if you want to convey a specific meaning that you associate with one of those phrases, and use either phrase when you want to refer to testing or QA in general. One answer (given above) is that one is about process, and the other is about verifying functionality. In practice, I don't think any skilled tester is going to claim that their job involves nothing but verifying functionality, and this definition has the sad effect of turning "tester" into a derogatory term. I've also seen that testing is about "checking" and QA is about a more organic approach that includes exploratory or ad-hoc testing. This has a similar problem. I find that what QA / testers do as far as process vs. functional verification or using a variety of approaches has more to do with seniority than with job title. I strongly suspect regional biases are really the major difference between the terms. "Tester" has a positive vibe in the Pacific NW, IME, but "QA" often implies that the company doesn't really get tech. Yet this seems to be almost the opposite of what most people get from the terms "tester" and "QA". This local phenomenon might be the influence of Microsoft and Amazon, with their "SDET" position (Software Development Engineer in Test). It also might be a result of the more casual NW tech culture, where wearing a tie to an interview could very likely reduce your chances of getting hired at any major tech company. "Quality Assurance" just sounds too "business-like" and stodgy to my ears. When I see that, I think the entire company is run by bureaucrats. "Tester", on the other hand, is easier to say, less formal, and doesn't blur in with the rest of the acronyms being used. |
Generally, at least in my end of the professional puddle, testing refers to the activities of banging on the product until it breaks. This is the part of QA that most people find intuitive and easy to grasp. Quality assurance is the entire process of finding issues (testing), documenting them, verifying their fixes, and most importantly, improving the development and testing processes so that less bugs occur in the future. For example, QA would include making sure that merging the code from one version to another is done to certain standards, which straight testing wouldn't include. Basically, QA should be about improving the process, not just the results. |
The analogy I like to use, to explain the difference between quality control (aka testing) and quality assurance is an assembly line analogy. Quality control is when you check what comes off the assembly line, to verify that it meets the specs. Quality assurance is when you check what goes into the assembly line. To further explain the analogy, consider an assembly line where 100% of the products produced are defective: any failure in quality control means defective products escape to your customers. Alternatively, consider an assembly line where 100% of the products produced are "good": any failure in quality control means you fail products that are actually good. Quality control is the gatekeeper at the end of the assembly line - it doesn't check the assembly line - just what comes out. The point of quality assurance is to ensure that the assembly line is itself working. Like a thermostat, the ideal is to verify that the assembly line can produce good products. |
I think that there are two answers to this question, the textbook answer and the "in reality" answer. Common usage answer Personally, I think that most people tend to use these terms interchangeably to both mean the same thing. I think the sort of people who commonly do this who work with IT, but aren't part of IT itself, like business users. Textbook Answer According to Wikipedia So to me, that implies assuring that you are operating in compliance with a Quality Assurance Standard, say you are a shipwright and you meet "ISO/DIS 30005 Information control for hazardous materials in the manufacturing chain of shipbuilding and ship operations" is pure QA. Software testing is the process of verifying and validating that a software program works as expected. Where it becomes fuzzy is that there is an ISO standard for sofware delivery, so I sould suggest that if you are testing for compliance of a standard then you are performing both Testing and QA. |
There's no such thing as Quality Assurance or Control in Software. (Unfortunately most tester's don't seem to get this.) Quality Assurance and Quality Control both come from manufacturing where you can physically assure customers won't receive bad products (or rather reduce the chance they will) by withholding defective ones or fixing the process. This can be done through lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, etc. - Forgive me, I'm not up to date on process and manufacturing improvement! This can't usually be done in software. Software development is far more like design which is more intuitive and unique and less like manufacturing where you are producing the same piece over and over again. Testers have no way to assert control or assure quality. Instead of asserting control all we can do is point out the problems we find and work with developers, technical leads, etc. to fix them. Usually we can't force them to fix all of the problems, just one's deemed high enough by consensus of the team (hopefully). Since we can't control quality (we usually don't fix bugs), how do we assure quality? We don't! We never know how many defects are left or how severe they may be. So why use titles that don't convey true meaning? Software Testing means we learn and explore the system while applying our knowlege, experiences, judgements to find problems. Here's a good link: http://www.developsense.com/blog/2010/05/testers-get-out-of-the-quality-assurance-business/ |
Today, almost every organization has a QA department that is responsible for "testing" software applications to discover and eliminate bugs. However, there is a fundamental flaw in this definition of the role of QA in an organization. Most executives that I have talked to, fail to understand the difference between Quality Assurance and Testing, and oftentimes use these terms alternatively. So, what is the difference between QA and testing, or rather QA and Quality Control (QC)? Before we talk about QA vs testing, let's try to understand what exactly quality control is and why I brought it up! Quality control is a set of "activities" that need to be performed in order to detect problems during production and before the product goes live. These activities ensure that final deliverable meets the specifications and quality standards set by the organization. QC often includes peer reviews, "testing", code reviews etc. In theory, quality control can be achieved with minimal testing. For example, a thorough review of source code and checks for known previously problems can reduce the possibility of defects and might be enough to meet the quality standards set by the organization. However still, in most cases, testing is the most important activity for quality control, but it is not the 'only' activity. Quality control is extremely important for ensuring that applications are bug free and meet the specifications and requirements, but QC might not always be the most efficient ways of ensuring quality. This is where Quality Assurance plays its role. But it is a concept that is often misunderstood by even the most experienced professions. To put it in simple words, Quality assurance is about engineering "processes"that assure quality. Now let's try to understand it better! The keyword to pay attention to is "processes". QA extends far beyond what we call the 'software testing team'. The goal is to develop high quality products in the most efficient way, and it cannot be achieved by testing alone. Defects occur because something somewhere did not happen the way it needed to. Testing might help in detecting those defects, but not in avoiding them. A defect once fixed cannot ensure that it won't occur again, even if the root cause is found. The process or the system that allowed that defect to occur is what needs to be re-engineered, and this is what we call quality assurance. Everyone who is involved in the end to end development process, including analysts, developers, testers, managers etc., is an important player in assuring quality. In fact, QA might not involve testing at all. It might go against the typical notion that many professionals have about QA. But imagine this: If a company wanted to bring down its defects per million ratios, would testing alone be able to help achieve this goal? The answer is no, because in practice, not every defect can be found and fixed. However, if the processes that go into developing a product were reviewed and best practices were implemented, the load on testing team is likely to reduce. It is for this reason a lot of auditors focus on the processes were followed rather than focusing on the amount of testing an organization does. To summarize, Quality assurance is a set of processes that help "avoid" defects and assure quality. While Quality Control is a set of activities that help detect defects and quality issues before the products reach the hands of end customers. Testing is one of the ways of detecting those defects. In order to deliver high quality products, organizations should focus on QA rather than merely scaling up their quality control efforts. |
Testing usually refers to checking that program complies to functional requirements. QA is a broader subject,that aims to answer question "is quality good enough for final release?". |
"Quality Assurance" is not a real thing. You can't ever assure quality. Users are always going to find bugs that were missed in testing, because they'll try your product in ways you never imagined (huge data sets, weird file types, large scale, legacy hardware, etc.). All you can do is reduce risk by trying to improve test coverage and frequency. |
For me, quality is whatever the customer wants or desires; Through the various and many verification and validation techniques we employ throughout the delivery lifecycle we try to ensure the product being delivered meets those customer wants or desires. Software testing is but a means to an end, it allows us to state that for those bugs/defects that have been observed a resolution has been agreed and delivered. However Software testing cannot answer for the many un-observed bugs/defects that have not been observed. |
In manufacturing, quality assurance is a systemic, business-wide process (or a collection of processes, if you prefer) for improving quality, and quality control is a manufacturing process that attempts to measure quality by testing random samples of the product. Software is not a manufacturing process, and a manufacturing-oriented notion of quality control is nonsensical for software. (Software media may be manufactured, and one might apply quality control to software media, but of course those measures would not impact the quality of the software itself.) In that sense, all software testing is a kind quality assurance. |
In a regulated environment (e.g., medical devices regulated by FDA), "quality assurance" really doesn't have a lot to do with software testing. The Quality Assurance organization oversees all aspects of product development (hardware, software, chemistry) and ensures that nothing is released which doesn't adhere to the company's quality system. In a regulated environment, software testing is more typically referred as "software validation" (job title of "software validation engineer" is common). |

CAC sticker. Purchased from the 2013 Heritage CSNS sale of the Malibou Lake collection.
David Hall: The 1859 is the first year of issue for the very important Indian Head cent series. Because a shield was added to the reverse in1860, the 1859 is also a one-year-only type coin. I have always felt this issue doesn't get the respect it deserves. Gems are definitely rare. In 1973, I had a customer tell me to buy him every Gem Flying Eagle cent and 1859 Indian cent I could find. In a year, I was able to find 35 Gem Flying Eagles, but only 8 Gem 1859 Indian cents.
Most 1859 Indians are relatively well struck. Luster and color are typical for the 1859-1864 Copper-nickel composition Indian Head cents. There are many examples with subdued luster you could call mediocre. I have seen very few examples with what we would all call "blazing" luster, certainly less than I have seen of some of the other Copper-nickel dates.
Jaime Hernandez: This is a one year Type and also the first regular issue Indian Head and Wreath design. The fact that this was a first year design and it having a large mintage, many examples were saved and examples of this issue in circulated grades are easily obtainable.

Arizona Cardinals
Whisenhunt: Lindley did a nice job, but no decision on starting QB yet
Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said the move to replace John Skelton with Ryan Lindley Sunday should not have come as much of a surprise.
After all, it was part of the idea that changes would be made if the coach deemed them necessary.
"In looking at where we were, as a team, and we said this going into the bye week that we were going to play guys in spots that we thought gave us a chance to win, and that's what we did," Whisenhunt said at his Monday press conference in Tempe. "We wanted to see if [Lindley] would give us a chance to make some of those plays because we had missed some plays earlier in the game."
Whisenhunt was particularly miffed at Skelton's inability to hit a wide-open Larry Fitzgerald for what would have been a touchdown late in the first quarter. The Cardinals ended up settling for a field goal, and the four-point swing proved to be the difference in the game.
The sixth-round pick out of San Diego State handled himself well Sunday, according to Whisenhunt, even though his stats (9-of-20 for 64 yards) were not exactly impressive.
"He did a nice job I thought in a lot of areas," he said, "managing the game, handling the noise, doing some of the things that you need to do with protection.
"He looked comfortable in the pocket, made some good throws."
Good enough to keep the job? Not exactly.
Whisenhunt said Kevin Kolb is expected to practice some this week, but how much he does depends "on how he handles it physically." And with him nearing a return and Skelton still around, the coach said there is no need to proclaim anyone --- including Lindley --- the starter as his team prepares for the St. Louis Rams.
"We've got to sit down as a staff and look at what we're trying to get done and make that evaluation," Whisenhunt said, adding that he just finished watching film from Sunday's game.
"We're going to do what we think gives us the best chance to win going forward, and that's not something that we have to make the decision right now."

John said on Facebook that these are ahead of schedule and should be at Min within a week or so.
Thread: New Kerosene - Fields of Rubus |
From MinNY website.
Fields of Rubus opens up with a thick, sweet jammy blast of raspberry and patchouli. As it settles, the raspberry softens up as vanilla, musk and woods unfold and envelope the host in a warm blanket of pleasantries.
Notes: Raspberry, Plum, Apple, Tobacco Wood, Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Patchouli.
John said on Facebook that these are ahead of schedule and should be at Min within a week or so.
So talented this guy. To think, I have been watching his videos on YouTube for years. Now he is a well known perfumer of niche fragrances. Incredible.
Also has another new one called "Wood Haven."
he's describing this one as "jammy" as in raspberry jam. if so, a thick syrupy raspberry with some spice would be a home run for the fall.
A bit apprehensive at the rate these are coming out, but I know he's been working on them for a little while now. Still, this one interests me the most so far. Plus, his other scents haven't disappointed me so far.
That was kind of what I was thinking as well (that he really is churning them out at a pretty fast rate!)
That said, where can you get samples of his fragrances? I'd like to give some of them a try.
On a side note, I've always enjoyed his YouTube video reviews....his review of Baldessarini Ambre' is directly responsible for me purchasing a bottle of it, and I'm glad I did!
P.S. - I'm guessing that this one will be heavy on the raspberry and blackberry(???)
Min NY has sample packs you can purchase.
I've only tried R'Oud Elements and it was pretty good. I don't like to see these coming out so fast though. I know there is money in numbers, and few will really fully appreciate the depth, intricacy, extremely carefully coordinated and balanced evolution and nuances of a scent that a perfumer spends a year or more perfecting, but still... it seems like the indies, above all, should embody that mentality towards perfumery rather than jumping on the designer churn-a-new-scent-or-five-per-season bandwagon.

While it is true that it would be great that a perfumer takes a year or more to perfect a scent, but that does not mean a perfumer only works on one scent at a time. He is probably working on three, four, even more projects concurrently.
And some indie perfumers churn out lots of new scents a year (DSH for example), and yet their products are still well-liked by perfumistas.
As someone who's been working with naturals for years now, I definitely understand having multiple projects going on at once. I really like John/Kerosene and respect the path he has taken and the success he has had - I just hope said success doesn't change his process to accommodate a quicker release schedule.
I've seen other brands start out with quality work but dilute their name and reputation through a frantic release schedule (Montale, anyone?).

Hey guys,
It's true, a lot of releases this year, but I don't think they will disappoint. Wood Haven was a scent in the works for over a year now, and Fields of Rubus, close to 8 months. Im constantly rolling about 12 ideas at a time. Most never finish. Just so you know, I don't release something, then afterwards, begin work on something fresh to release next. A lot of hours go into the creations. Hope you enjoy, and thanks!
And right now, only planning to have 2-3 releases for all of next year. If they are ready.
Take care all,
Love the sound of this Haven't tried the line yet but would love to.
It sounds verrry nice, and perfect for late autumn. Definitely sample-worthy.
With every new release, his fragrances are becoming more complex. Santalum Slivers is one of the best sandal wood fragrances on the market and something that shouldn't be missed. Impressive to say the least.
Luckyscent has indeed contacted to pick up my brand, but for the time-being, Im exclusive through MiN NY. For how long, remains to be seen. But so far, that's what it is.
- - - Updated - - -
Hi Palm Beach,
MiN wasnt exactly sure when the scents were going to be ready for sale, so they were covering themselves with the later date. But they will have stock next week.
For First in Fragrance, there was an issue with my dispenser volume machine and some bottles that were shipped to Europe were short a few mls. Some just a couple mls. But the issue has been sorted out and corrected. But for website and not to get in trouble, they had to put on their website a lower amount of mls to cover themselves. Hope that clears up the confusion. But going forward, there's no issues with bottle volumes. All will be exactly 100mls.
Thanks for chiming in Kerosene. I didn't mean to be negative although I'm sure it came off that way. I just hate the thought of losing one of the 'good guys' to the pressures of commercialism.
I've really got to get around to sampling the rest of your creations. Copper Skies, especially, sounds like something I would love.

No worries, Scripture. I try and reply to all my inquiries, but this has been the busiest year of my life and sometimes people get missed. I've had so many requests asking me how to begin to make perfume and I simply just cant respond to everyone. Still working my regular day job and so many late nights and working every weekend on the fragrance brand. Next step is working on my website, but all in all everything is going well.
The only reason I ordered a sample of this one is that I wanted to try Wood Haven and am really interested in the recent wave of new American artisan perfumers (Smell Bent, Slumberhouse, Kerosene, etc.). I would never have sought out a fragrance that lists raspberry and plum as the first notes. I'm still not sure that this fragrance is "me," but it isn't feminine like I expected it might be. So gentlemen, don't let the word "jammy" scare you off. I'll be sampling both this one and Wood Haven further. The only previous Kerosene fragrance I've really liked was his first one, R'Oud Elements, so I'm encouraged to find I'm enjoying the two new ones, although I've yet to decide if either of them are FBW for me. I'll be checking back to this thread to find out what other guys think about this one.
I remember when Kerosene first announced R'Oud Elements on YouTube. He was selling it and another one through Etsy at $80 a bottle, if I recall well. Now his perfumes are exclusive for MiN and they go for $140. Now don't tell me that MiN charges $60 for featuring your creations, cause I don't believe you.
"My first official fragrance release, all handcrafted myself, R'oud Elements, with notes of Oud, Sandalwood, Amber, Vanilla, Lavender, Iris, and Orange Bitters.
Woods. Warmth. Man.
3.4oz bottle for $90 shipped in U.S. - $95 shipped International."
No, but $60 more seems a bit exaggerated.
Or it costs him more to produce now and his initial price is no longer viable to continue running his company. It's also not exclusive to MiN, he sells at a few other websites as well. $140 for a 100 ml bottle really isn't outrageous at all to charge for a guy making his own fragrance.
I don't understand this continual harping about Kerosene's prices. I think most of us would agree that the jump from $90 to $140 is a bit much. I remember a few years ago when Lorenzo Villoresi's 100 ml bottles went from $90 to $120 (now $135), that seemed like a big leap to me at the time and this is even more extreme. That said, Olivier Durbano's line went from $125 to $190 last year, so a small perfumer selling his perfumes at $140 for 100 ml is not at all out of line with what is going on out there in perfume land. L'Artisan is $135-$165. Serge Lutens is $120-$140 for 50 ml bottles and we aren't spending all of this time complaining about that. Yes, Kerosene is new and not "professionally" trained. So what? If you don't like his fragrances, or don't think they're worth what he's asking, don't buy them. I'm not a huge fan of his work so far, but I certainly don't think he's ripping anybody off.
Just put this on my "next to try" list.
I was just about to post regarding the price. Looks like I was beaten to it.
Would you guys say his fragrances are "niche quality?"
There's no way he can do what what was accomplished by the perfumers in the 80s, IMO, so I don't have much interest, but that's true of all new releases. They all lack at least one major element, so the best would be something like Acqua di Gio, which doesn't have any major flaws but I wouldn't pay more than perhaps $25-30 for 100 ml. The reason? I would rather go to Perfumer's Apprentice and buy ingredients, then try to put together the kind of frag I'm seeking. And that way ingredient quality won't be an issue. However, right now I've got so many frags I like and hardly ever wear that I see no point in trying to concoct a frag that might be a little different than something I already have and enjoy. Others, of course, may be in a very different position and wiling to pay at least double what Kerosene is asking.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if MinNY did take a chunk of it similar to that amount...that's the cost of business. You're not really thinking it though, most stores mark up their items 25-50% in order to make a profit, otherwise it's not worth their time.
I think everyone should stop complaining about prices when they have no idea what the story is, just &$^*ing enjoy the fragrance or not.
Have no idea what MiN's mark-up is, but anybody who knows anything about the cost of doing business in Manhattan and/or anybody who has seen the cash the owners have dropped on making it an inviting store will know that they need to charge a significant amount on top of whatever it costs them to buy fragrances to stay in business. Furthermore, I don't know John, but I have found all of his fragrances that I have tried well-crafted (if not all "me") and the bottles are quite attractive and unique. $140 seemed not in the least out-of-line.
Definitely interested in trying Fields of Rubus.
I now have a bottle of FoR. Unlike anything I have smelled before (not that my experience is encyclopedically wide)--it's heavy and warm, and the raspberry is there, but with no resemblance to the "fruity" note in cheap contemporary feminines. Smells more like actual fruit, and it harmonizes surprisingly well with the wood/patchouli/tobacco elements that background it. FoR puts me in mind of a sort of 1970's post-hippie aesthetic (a general aesthetic, that is, not a fragrance one)--weathered barnboard, herbs, blackberries overrunning an old orchard. It's sweet, obviously, but not at all cloying: for all its domestic associations it says more "outdoors" to me than "inside."
I have to admit, this fragrance was pretty cloying to me. Scored a 5ml sample. Used it sparingly. Found myself annoyed by it. Sugar dipped raspberries is right.
Had the chance to smell the whole line this evening, as my sister had just received a sample set.
Everyone to their own taste of course, but after some backing and forthing, this was the one that I found most interesting.
...Aside from Whips and Roses that is, but I REALLY wanted to smell that one on a woman.
Or what I mean is....maybe I just want to meet the particular kind of woman who would wear it.

Phillies aim to win another Pettibone start
Rookie to oppose Marlins veteran Nolasco in third career outing
Nothing went right for the Phillies during a two-game sweep in Cleveland earlier this week, but a return home and a visit by the last-place Marlins seems to have pointed them back in a positive direction.
Philadelphia won Thursday's opener, 7-2, and will look for a 2-0 advantage in the four-game series on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park. Rookie Jonathan Pettibone will make his third start as he faces off against Miami's Ricky Nolasco.
The Phillies, who are 3-1 against the Marlins this season, have won both of Pettibone's outings so far. The 22-year-old right-hander is 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA, although opponents are batting .333 against him.
Pettibone grabbed his first Major League victory on Saturday against the Mets, making it through five innings with three runs allowed, despite surrendering seven hits and two walks.
"He kept his composure and he kept pitching," manager Charlie Manuel said. "For a kid who just came up in his second game, he got in some tight jams there, but wheeled his way out of it. That was good."
Nolasco (2-2, 3.82 ERA) has won back-to-back starts and threw a season-high seven innings his last time out, on Sunday against the Cubs. The righty gave up three runs on four hits and struck out two.
"Utilizing the fastball was good for me," Nolasco said. "I was making pitches when I had to. I was behind a lot. It was a good feeling to get people out with the fastball and build off of that."
Nolasco will be making his 20th career appearance, and 17th start, against the Phillies. The eight-year veteran is 8-5 with a 3.73 ERA in those matchups, and he held them to one run over six innings in a no-decision on April 12 at Marlins Park.
This season's Phillies haven't matched the offensive exploits of some recent clubs, ranking near the bottom of the league in runs scored, home runs and OPS. But Nolasco isn't thinking any different of them, especially at Citizens Bank Park.
"You can never sleep on this lineup," he said. "I've been facing this lineup. I've been facing them for a long time. Whether it is this year, or a few years ago, they can put a five-spot on you real quickly, especially in this park. You've just got to continue to make pitches and just stay with your game. You can't let that left-field short porch bother you."
Marlins: Hechavarria back in the lineup
• Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, in his first game back from the disabled list on Thursday, tripled in his second at-bat and went 1-for-4 to push his average to .189. The 24-year-old, who was suffering from a bruised right elbow, had not played since April 16, when he collected his first home run and first three RBIs of the season.
• Rookie Marcell Ozuna doubled in the second inning Thursday and finished 1-for-4. The 22-year-old has hit safely in all three games since his callup, and is 4-for-11 overall.
• Outfielder Juan Pierre swiped third base in the first inning, his 600th career stolen base. That made him the ninth-fastest, and 14th overall, to reach that mark since 1898.
Phillies: Young snaps singles streak
• Third baseman Michael Young doubled in Thursday's first inning, his first extra-base hit since April 10. In 19 games since that date, the veteran had been hitting .302, but all 19 of his hits were singles.
Young now has three doubles, a triple and a home run out of 33 hits this year, leading to a .414 slugging percentage to go with his .333 average.
• Center fielder Ben Revere was out of the lineup on Thursday, a day after hurting his right ring finger while stealing second base. Revere said the finger is swollen, but he expects to play on Friday.
John Mayberry manned center in Revere's absence and went 0-for-3 with a walk.
Worth noting
• Nolasco is 6-1 with a 2.98 ERA in seven starts at Citizens Bank Park.
• Since putting together their first winning streak of the season (three games), the Marlins have lost their last two.
• On Thursday, the Phillies notched more than four runs for the third time in their past 10 games.

Former mates avoid matchups as Tribe visits Trop
The first encounter of the season between the Rays and Indians had the potential for a series filled with reunions and homecomings.
It doesn't appear as if it will live up to its billing, though.
Scott Kazmir will not pitch against his former team Saturday, as scheduled, because the Indians are placing him on the 15-day disabled list, backdated to Tuesday. And former Indian right-hander Roberto Hernandez pitched Thursday as the third starter in the Rays' rotation, even though he made the team as its fifth starter.
Instead, Rays lefty Matt Moore will oppose Zach McAllister in Friday's series opener. The 23-year-old Moore posted an 11-11 mark and 3.81 ERA in his first full season a year ago, but he went 1-1 with a 6.52 ERA in two starts against Cleveland.
This Indians club is a bit different, though. Moore has never faced Michael Bourn, Cleveland's new leadoff hitter and center fielder. He has also never dug in against Indians right fielder Drew Stubbs or third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall.
"They have a solid lineup," Moore said. "We've been doing our homework the last couple of days. I've never seen a couple of those guys before in their lineup. So it's going to be an advantage for somebody."
Indians: Indians erring on side of caution with Kazmir
• Kazmir pitched his way into the Cleveland rotation with a stellar spring. But now he has a right rib cage strain and is expected to miss two or three starts.
"We just wanted to be as conservative as possible," Indians head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said. "He's come a long way professionally. In our minds, this was the prudent thing to do."
• In Thursday's 10-8 loss to Toronto, Indians right-hander Brett Myers joined Jeff Shaw (April 30, 1990) as the only pitcher in Indians history with at least five innings, four home runs allowed and zero strikeouts in a game.
"I couldn't get the ball down tonight," Myers said. "Everything was up, and when you pitch up in the zone to these types of hitters in the big leagues, it's not going to be good."
Rays: Maddon explains rotation order
• Hernandez spent his first seven big league seasons with Cleveland before latching on with the Rays in the offseason. He earned the fifth and final spot in their rotation, though manager Joe Maddon opted to pitch him in the team's third game.
"Part of it was the schedule," Maddon said. "Part of it was people who we think may go deeper into the games than others, trying to protect the bullpen a little bit. When you put the whole thing together, you try to consider as many different variables as you possibly can and make the best guess."
• Moore went 1-5 with a 4.76 ERA in the first two months of the 2012 campaign. He said Thursday that he would prefer to pitch well out of the gates this season and avoid having to answer to questions about being a slow starter. He logged a 3.80 ERA in 21 1/3 innings of Grapefruit League play this spring.
• Shelley Duncan, who played for Cleveland from 2010-12, will face his former team this weekend. Duncan is batting .222 (2-for-9) with a homer this season.
Worth noting
• The Indians and Rays split their eight meetings last season, despite Tampa outscoring Cleveland, 39-34.

Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
Craig Stammen churned out eight strong innings to lead the Nats to victory.
Craig Stammen says his right arm has never felt this good. It certainly didn't feel this good last year when he tried to pitch with bone chips in his elbow that didn't allow him to throw a curveball without wincing pain.
But perhaps Stammen actually feels too good. Able to throw free and easy for the first time as a big leaguer, he's been tempted at times to try to cut loose and overpower opposing hitters.
Just one problem: Stammen is not a power pitcher. Never has been. Never will be. He actually loses effectiveness when trying to throw too hard, something he did five nights ago in Philadelphia during a wretched, 1 1/3-inning start against the Phillies.
So when he returned to the mound tonight against the Rockies, the 26-year-old made a conscious effort to ease off the gas pedal a bit. Don't try to throw 94 mph when 90 is good enough.
"When you're young, you learn real quick that 100 percent isn't always the best," he said. "I kind of got into a mode where my arm was feeling so good, I was letting 'er fly. And that felt good. But I wasn't getting any results."
Stammen got the results he and the Nationals wanted tonight. With eight superb innings of two-run ball, he rediscovered his top form and led Washington to a thoroughly satisfying 5-2 victory over Colorado.Read more »

Mark, any update on Wang, Detwiler and JZ? Damn, this team might actually be ok sooner than we thought. Get Dunn swinging the bat, and some sort of offense from RF (MENCH is so hot right now), and who knows, we might beat the Mets.

Loved the piece, thanks. You go, Livo, and nice work, Stammen!Thanks to meixler for the link to the New Yorker story. Congrats on the publicity, Mark. I would, however, opine to Mr. MrGrath that Mrs. Z. does a fine job with photos of game action. I believe that the lady has her head in the game, thank you very much.

- Janner33 - Apr 20, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Does anyone know what was going on in I think the end of the 4th or 5th inning when Pudge seemed to be pretending that the ball got by him? Then he just fired it to first. Was busy doing something at the time, had the TV on mute, and couldn't hear what the commentators were saying!
- natsfan1a - Apr 20, 2010 at 12:14 PM
Oh, and my fave part of the New Yorker piece was probably JR's address to the media. :-)Janner33, I believe that Pudge didn't realize the ball was in his glove the whole time. Bob also referenced the time that Zimm lost the baseball in his jersey (which I'd been telling my husband about just moments before).

@natsfan1a – Thanks for the explanation. And here i was thinking Pudge the wily vet had a trick up his sleeve
- natsfan1a - Apr 20, 2010 at 1:31 PM
I noticed that, too, Ed. Looked like Livo said something to him then as well.
- natsfan1a - Apr 20, 2010 at 1:32 PM
Good one, Janner. "Watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat."
- Andrew - Apr 20, 2010 at 1:34 PM
Mark Zuckerman said…In the process, Stammen extended a trend that has come to define the 2010 Nationals. When their starting pitcher goes at least five innings, they're now 7-0. When the starter fails to go five, they're 0-6.________________________________Thanks for pointing stat out.I also like the points by Gus above. I just can't imagine what this offense can be when Adam Bomb gets going!
- Doc - Apr 20, 2010 at 2:33 PM
Do you think that Livo has time to also be the pitching coach????

great stuff…quick question: are there "nats insider" t-shirts? might be a good way to support the site. sorry if this has already been proposed.
- Mark Zuckerman - Apr 20, 2010 at 2:44 PM
OK, the much-anticipated injury updates…Wang has been throwing off a mound in Viera. Next step is throwing live BP. Then he'll go on a rehab assignment. Target date to return is early-to-mid-June.Detwiler is on a similar timeframe. His rehab assignment will come sometime in mid-to-late May.Zimmermann has a longer way to go, but that's been expected all along. The Nats are still targeting August-September for his return from Tommy John surgery.It should be pointed out once again that all three players (along with Jesus Flores) are on the 60-day DL. So they are ineligible to return before June 3. Not that it appears any of them will be ready prior to that.

i would buy one either way, but my thought is that if you had a good slogan you would see pretty good sales. i propose a slogan contest: winner gets a free t-shirt. am i overthinking this?
- natsfan1a - Apr 20, 2010 at 3:35 PM
I don't know that I'd be likely to wear one (I tend to stick with Nats wear for games). I'd be more likely to use a coffee mug or some such. But that would only advertise the site to my husband and house guests, I suppose. I do like the slogan contest idea. In other news, I found the Livo-Elvis scoop on Debbi Taylor's MASN blog (see below). I *thought* that might be the case. I love Livo, but he doesn't have the smallest head around. :-)"On Friday, Josh Willingham sported the silver Elvis hairdo, but on Sunday, Livan Hernandez had the wig hanging in his locker because he told me it didn't fit!"
- Sunderland - Apr 20, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Marketing staff?You mean Mrs. Z I presume.T-shirt with slogan?Not likely.Then again, over a 2 week period in 1978, there were about 100,000 "It ain't over till the fat lady sings" t-shirts sold.Ah, Les Boulez.Don't let me discourage you.Get a logo / slogan / whatever, log in to cafepress.com and you can set up you online shop with coffee mugs, boxer shorts, coozies, anything you want.
- NatsNut - Apr 20, 2010 at 3:39 PM
The slogan thing was done to death over at Nationals Journal back in the day (2007?), with some pretty hilarious slogans but no T-shirts.Yes, I'd buy a t-shirt if it was cool looking. Put the year on it and you can change the slogan every year.
- Wigi - Apr 20, 2010 at 4:43 PM
The tee shirt should say "Nats Insider" but printed on the insise od the shirt, so you'd wear it inside-out.

Living in Idaho, I got to watch the Nationals on TV instead of the computer on the Rockies baseball network.They were surprised at how good Stammen pitched considering his ERA.I wasn't. I recall several stories over the winter that suggested that Stammen (even with his surgery)was highly thought of and several teams inquired about trading for him.It is still amazing that the Nationals selected Stammen and Lannan back-to-back in 2005 (I think it was the 11th and 12th rounds).J.D. Martin pitched very well in Syracuse last night too — I still think he deserves to be that rotation somewhere.

Both JD Martin and Luis Atilano have been pitching well in the rotation in Syracuse. The whole staff (to a much lesser extent Matt Chico at this point) in Harrisburg look like they are all ready to make the next move. Its not just Strasburg at this point.

In 1959, the University of Oregon began a daring experiment. Just six years after James Watson and Francis Crick published their paper on the structure of DNA, the university founded its Institute of Molecular Biology, bringing scientists from chemistry, biology and physics together in a common space to work in a new field that combined all three areas.
Fifty years later, the risk-takers who founded and nurtured the enterprise have a lot to be proud of, including generations of scientists who were shaped at and inspired by IMB.
At an anniversary celebration this fall, institute Director Bruce Bowerman recalled how chemist Terrell L. Hill conceived the institute in 1957 and recruited its first director, biophysicist Aaron Novick.
Hill met Novick when they were both working on the Manhattan Project, and Novick's time there influenced his career and the institute. Carol Gross, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and keynote speaker at the 50th anniversary symposium, was a graduate student with Novick. She said that, because of Novick, "the institute was very political. Having worked on the atom bomb and knowing its aftermath, Aaron was very antinuclear and antiwar." She added that Novick's open, egalitarian attitude set the tone of the institute: "He always ate lunch in the lunchroom so he could participate in discussions [on topics] like: Given rate of protein synthesis, could a spider make silk de novo or did it have to be premade?"
Novick created the nucleus of the IMB by hiring its first members with the help of biochemists John and Charlotte Schellman, who were known for advancing the study of protein structure, folding and stability through techniques such as circular dichroism spectroscopy. Their first hire was Frank W. Stahl, who had just shown, with Matthew Meselson, that DNA is replicated by a semiconservative mechanism. Stahl, now emeritus, continues to focus on the mechanisms of meiotic recombination. In a recent biology department newsletter, he said the institute was founded on three principles: No one would be called "professor" or "doctor," facilities would be shared and new hires would recruit new members.
In keeping with the last principle, in 1960, Stahl recruited phage biologist George Streisinger, whose work illustrates the collaborative, multidisciplinary philosophy of the IMB: Streisinger generated a series of T4 lysozyme mutants that were used by protein biochemists like the Schellmans and Rick Dahlquist and biophysicists like Brian W. Matthews, S. James Remington and Joan Wozniak for studies on protein structure and thermostability.
In the 1970s, Streisinger used his knowledge of aquarium fish to develop the zebrafish as a research model. Zebrafish are small, hardy and easily bred, developing from transparent egg to fish in 24 hours. Streisinger realized that zebrafish could be used as a vertebrate model for studies on development and behavior that had previously used fruit flies. So, he developed techniques for breeding, mutagenizing and screening zebrafish, including generating haploid fish for easy phenotypic analysis. The University of Oregon continues to be internationally recognized for zebrafish research.

Loc: California Dear Bill-- Not a problem. I was just wondering out loud if there was a procedure called a glossectomy? And after googling, I see there is. Didn't US Grant have one? Or did he just die of tongue cancer? In re your other two words: is there a difference between glossalgia and glossodynia?

Posts: 13858 Dear jheem: I don't remember seeing either of those words
before I found them a few minutes ago. I see no likely difference. Never heard of Pres.Grant's problem. Oral cancers from snuff are not rare, but I'll bet they hit the cheeks or gums first. Good thing lies don't cause cancer. Or maybe fear of it would encourage veracity.
Trying to think of a fancy word for Pinocchio's problem.

I challenge you to incorporate idea that it is a punishment.

Loc: California Yes, Bill, I thought what is it about Pinocchio's nose. Sure it grows, but it's also as a punishment for his lying. Greek has trouble with this sort of compounding, but Sanskrit would be perfect for it, sometimes combining a whole bunch of words together into a 4 or n word compound. Let me think about it and get back to you.

Posts: 13858 The Greeks were reputed masters of the art of wilful misrepresentation to achieve goals. Odysseus was much
admired for his skill at deception. If Greeks had a
Pinocchio, he would have been rewarded by enlargement
of the phallus, not punished by protrusion of the proboscis.
In thinking about infant on father's knee, it occurred to me
that the Roman diaper service was so inadequate that to take
an alimentary canal with a loud noise at one end and no
reponsibility at the other onto the paternal knee would have
not been at all appealing.

Posts: 13858 Dear Faldage: Old Zeus must have been c...headed. Twice?
After a time Zeus developed the mother of all headaches. He howled so loudly it could be heard throughout the earth. The other gods came to see what the problem was. Hermes realized what needed to be done and directed Hephaestus to take a wedge and split open Zeus's skull. Out of the skull sprang Athena, full grown and in a full set of armour. Due to her manor of birth she has dominion over all things of the intellect.

About Us
The governing body of the Museum of Science prepares, publicizes, and is guided by the Museum's mission to play a leading role in transforming the nation's relationship with science and technology.

The Museum's Mission
The Museum's mission is to play a leading role in transforming the nation's relationship with science and technology.
This role becomes ever more important as science and technology shape and reshape our lives and world, and it means we:
- Promote active citizenship informed by the world of science and technology
- Inspire lifelong appreciation of the importance and impact of science and engineering
- Encourage young people of all backgrounds to explore and develop their interests in understanding the natural and human-made world
To do this, we will continue to build our position as a leader in the world's museum community and use our educational perspective as an informal learning institution to help the formal pre K – 12 education system.
The Museum's Vision
The Museum of Science believes that everyone has a role to play in the world of science and technology – as learners, as future scientists or engineers, as citizens of our nation, as community leaders and members of the workforce, as consumers, and as stewards of our planet.
The Museum of Science is committed to deepening the public's relationship with science and technology by leading efforts throughout the United States and abroad, in both formal and informal educational arenas, to redefine the roles that science centers can play.
- Within our own building, we will continuously transform our exhibits and programs to tell a story of the natural world and the designed world that focuses on the important connections, sustainability and interdependencies of these worlds.
- Throughout New England, we will form partnerships with all sectors to enrich our offerings, to represent the cutting edge of science and technology, and to take our invitation into science and technology out to schools and neighborhoods in order to build and strengthen our community.
- Throughout the nation, and the world, we will take a leadership role in integrating engineering into school curricula, in forming networks with other Museums to engage visitors everywhere in exploring the impact of science and technology on their lives, and in developing an expanded role for science centers as conveners of forums on critical societal issues.
Through these efforts, the Museum of Science will foster communities near and far in which all citizens have access to the worlds of science and technology and the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about the issues and developments shaping their lives and our planet's future.
Leading the Way
One of the world's largest science centers and New England's most highly attended cultural institution, the Museum of Science is ideally positioned to lead the nationwide effort to promote engineering education awareness, bringing science, technology, and mathematics alive through its exhibits, programs, and more.
National Center for Technological Literacy®
The NCTL inspires and fosters the next generation of engineers and technology leaders by promoting technology and engineering understanding in schools and museums nationwide.
The Museum also collaborates with many organizations to educate the public about developments in science and engineering.
Enterprise and Traveling Exhibits
The Museum hosts and develops traveling exhibits, collaborates on projects, and provides consulting and other services.
Discover exhibits, shows, and additional programming available for licensing
Washburn Award
This annual award is presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution toward public understanding and appreciation of science and the vital role it plays in our lives.
Walker Prize
This annual prize is presented to a noted scientist, professor, or researcher who is a superb science communicator via the written word and is well known for superlative work in his or her field.
Environmental Sustainability
The Museum strives to be a leader in understanding the consequences of human actions on the Earth and uses that understanding to guide our decision-making, our educational products and services, and all our endeavors.
Become a Part of the Museum
Whether you're interested in employment, an internship, or volunteering, you can contribute to the excitement of science, technology, and engineering education.

Um, do most girls really prefer this type of 'romantic' porn? When i'm having sex with a girl I'm in love with, sure it can get all romantic and sensitive sometimes. But with porn, for some reason it turns me on much more when the girl is an 18 y/o cutie auditioning for a modeling gig, and then she gets ytalked into taking off her top, then her jeans, then her panties, and next thing u know a guy with a 9" dick as thick as a soda can walks out, and proceeds to plow the cutie in her pussy. Then somehow the director talks the girlie into letting our friend Mr Big penetrate her butt hole with his giant penis. Even better are the ones where 2 more 10" inch cocked muscle boys enter the room and whip out their thick, rock hard cocks as the 18 y/o cutie who thought she was just answering an ad for a modeling gig gasps at the huge cocks, and halfheartedly squirms off the penisnthat is currently being pounded into her tiny pink vagina.

I had a pour of Lot B today as well, but added a splash of WLW 2012 to up the proof. It wasn't that great at first but got much better as the glass sat. The flavors integrated well toward the end and definitely added some heat to the finish
Having a pour of a private selection EC12, one of my favorites.

I did the same last night, in a manner of speaking. I started out with a few Belgian beers and then moved on to bourbon. First up was a nice pour of "old label" OWA--always a favorite. Then I had a decent pour of '08 WLW with a drop of water which was superb. Finally, I decided to mix the two with a 2:1 ratio of OWA to WLW. Fantastic! Then I fell asleep in my chair with the New York Dolls cranking on the headphones. Those guys were real somnambulists 'cause I was out like a log!

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court said on Wednesday that it won't hear an appeal of Jerry Sandusky's child molestation conviction, The Associated Press reported.
The former assistant football coach for Penn State argued that his lawyers were rushed before his 2012 trial that ended in his conviction on 45 counts, the wire service said.
The appeal also questioned the judge's instructions to the jury, the AP reported.
Sandusky has always maintained his innocence.
A jury found evidence that Sandusky abused 10 boys, most of whom he met through his children's charity, The Second Mile. Many of them were abused on Penn State's campus, where Sandusky had access after he retired.

Reaching For The Limits of Tiny Transistors
By editor
Computer chip makers have long struggled to build ever-smaller transistors to allow faster, more powerful computers. Writing in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, a team of scientists describes what may be the ultimate limit of that struggle — a transistor made of a single atom. Michelle Simmons, a physicist at the University of New South Wales in Australia and leader of the project, discusses the work.

Plymouth Voyager Deflectors
These parts are retailed by automobile parts manufacturers through various authorized auto parts outlets. Many of these outlets have websites through which such auto parts can be procured. Periodically, automobile parts manufacturers also offer these parts on sale. Many of the parts can be bought at very reasonable price in these sales. Such parts include deflectors suitable for Plymouth Voyager. It is not mandatory that the entire set of deflectors be purchased. Therefore, car owners can replace any individual set of deflectors without spending on other deflectors. Prices depend upon the brand of deflectors and the type of deflector that is being bought. Installing such parts is also not very difficult because these days most of these parts can be affixed to the vehicle using 3M tape. The sunroof deflectors can even be clipped.
Deflectors for Plymouth vehicles include Plymouth Voyager deflectors. Different cars require different types of deflectors. Though, not essential part of any car, deflectors help in improving the quality of ride in the car, apart from protecting it from damage due to external factors such as flying stone chips, junk, insects, rain, etc. Strong wind and air also cannot get into the car's machinery or damage its exterior because of these deflectors. When the vehicle is speeding, the sound of displaced air can be annoying. This noise also comes down because of automobile's wind deflectors, which may be affixed, on the side windows of the car. Another purpose that these deflectors serve is to lower the heat. The engine in any automobile produces heat. This heat can remain within the vehicle if it is enclosed. But if there are deflectors on any car, the heat can escape, and the car remains a bit cooler.

I have used Ciara for at least 30 years and it is the only perfume I use. I continue to receive compliments often on how nice the fragrance is. I would recommend it to anyone.

Read Review details ►I have been using Ciara for more than 25 years and still love it as much as the first time I wore it. I constantly receive compliments on the fragrance and yet know it is soft and subtle. My sister also wears Ciara. Although she is 14 years my junior, she has the same affection for this scent. In fact, my last order for two bottles of 80% strength was for her as a birthday gift. I gave her other items which did not fit, but the Ciara was a perfect fit and she loved it. I also loved it because it was 20% off of the exceptionally low price and arrived within 4 days. The packaging was wonderful and included some samples and a little mirror that I included with the gift. I will continue to order this way. I love it!

Read Review details ►Ironically, I "shouldn't" love Ciara because of the strong notes of vanilla and musk. Normally I find vanilla a bit cloying in large amounts, and musk gives me a headache. However, because of the other notes (which are not mentioned on this site), one of which is either ylang-ylang or frangipani, the blend is PERFECT. While I love many fragrances, Ciara is my favorite currently and easily available mainstream woman's scents. It is alluring, long-lasting, and I have received so many complements on this perfume. I normally use the 80%, although I have also used the more-expensive 100% in the past. I also think that the vanilla and musk are of the best quality, which makes a huge difference.

Read Review details ►I just ordered Ciara 80%. It is a nice fragrance but it is a very heavy scent. It is not something that should be worn for every day use.

- Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Sit the pork in a large roasting tin. If the skin isn't already scored for you, score it with a small, sharp knife. Mix together the thyme, fennel seeds, oil and 1 tsp salt with a good grinding of black pepper. Rub this over the top and ends of the pork. Roast for 30 mins, then cover the whole tin with a large sheet of foil, reduce the oven temperature to 140C/120C fan/gas 1 and return the pork to the oven for a further 5 hrs.
- While the pork is cooking, make the chutney. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Soften the onion and chilli together for 10-15 mins. Once soft, stir in the apple chunks, vinegar and sugar with 50ml water. Cover and cook over a low heat for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the apple is very soft. Blitz half the apple mixture with a hand blender, or scoop half into a food processor and whizz until smooth, before stirring back into the pan with the leaves from the thyme sprig.
- Take the pork from the oven – the meat should be very tender – and increase the temperature to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. When the oven has reached temperature, discard the foil and put the pork back in for 30 mins to crisp up the skin a little. For really crisp crackling, remove the skin from the meat, wrap the meat in foil to keep warm, and return only the skin to the oven for 30 mins. Use a couple of forks to shred the pork from the joint. Sandwich in soft buttered rolls with apple chilli chutney, warm or at room temperature. Serve with pieces of crisp crackling on the side.

This is a pretty good English-style slow roast pork recipe. I have to say I prefer doing a saucier, bbq version in my slow cooker, but have served this as part of a Christening tea time spread and it was a hit!
I made lots of chutney (lol, used red wine vinegar so it went a very pretty pink colour!) and it kept in the fridge for a couple of months as we worked our way through it.
