Wow! 1.3 hp is as much as my lawn mower! This can mix just about anything you want. If you don't need a giant floor Hobart then this is perfect.
Allen T. from the french market Posted on 09/08/2014
We compared the features of KitchenAid mixers of 6qt, 7qt and 8qt sizes, decided on the 8qt Model KSM8990WH. After first use, we appreciate its features and details more. Here is why: 1. The 1.3hp motor is the largest among KitchenAid mixers. The fact that only a fraction of the 1.3hp power is delivered to or needed at the mixing shaft means the motor has plenty of reserve power and is ready to deliver upon spiking power demands. This reserve power margin also translates to longer service life of the motor; 2. The 8qt stainless steel bowl handles larger batch runs easily with less chance of a spill. The open handle allows for stacking when needed; 3. All included attachments – spiral dough hook, flat beater and wired whip – are made with stainless steel from head to toe, thus dishwasher safe. They are also NSF certified; 4. During kneading, the steady turning of the shaft and the low humming of motor gears are indications the mixer is handling the job with ease. In all, the 8qt KSM8990WH is a solidly built and well-proportioned unit. Only it did not come with a plastic pouring shield. There is an optional stainless steel guard that looks very restrictive. Luckily we found the plastic pouring shield from KitchenAid 600-series 6qt mixers also fits on the 8qt bowl.

The classic that is a tank and comes at a great price here at webstaurant store. I use this daily and it has been a lifesaver.
Chris K. Posted on 08/21/2014
Love this Commercial Mixer, I currently have 3, the Artisan, Professional and now the Commercial. I have always have great luck with both of them, my only complaint was that I could not put my beaters in the dishwasher, NOT with this one. Honestly I had been fantasying about this model however there was logically no reason to justify the cost. I recently made a large batch of meatballs for my freezer, and (luckily I have a sense of humor) meat was flying all over my counter. (I had it on the lowest setting as well.) Later that evening (I assumed I had it all cleaned up) my husband stepped on raw hamburger meat and I had no choice but to explain my embarrassed moment (although I would love to see myself on tape, during the situation) I was using the 6 qt Professional mixer at the time. The next day, I'm all composed making hamburgers to freeze and a big chunk flew out onto the floor. I hated to throw out that much meat with the prices being so high. Well the next day I logged on and saw the larger 8 Qt. bowl Commercial on sale. I couldn't believe my luck, my husband had no problem with the expense after the hamburger squish between his toes. I love my other ones, but I must admit I think this one is gonna be my favorite. (Although I will never part with the other two.) There have been many times in the past that I have been using both simultaneously (making breads and pizza doughs etc...) I wouldn't be surprised if I don't have all 3 going at once here real soon. Love Her, and wouldn't part with her now that she is a part of the family....

I do a lot of baking (bread every week-end) and there are so many other things that it can be used for. I have had other KitchenAid stand mixers and have to say they worked extremely well. This machine, however, can do it all with ease. It is the quietest mixer I've ever had not that the noise coming from a running mixer bothers me, but it does demonstrate how well it's made and how strong it is. I have the pasta maker attachment (the one that extrudes) and even with that work out the machine barely, if at all, gets warm. There IS a label on the nose that states that KitchenAid attachments are not approved for commercial use, but that's not an issue for home. The price at the Webstaurant store is exceptional. Check prices elsewhere to find out. Bottom line, well worth the money...
Richard G. Posted on 05/10/2014
I purchased this commercial KitchenAid and it works great, but everytime I even just barely touch the bowl to the mixer it scratches...I've only had it a couple of months but it looks old due to the scratches all over it, it works great but the paint on it is awful - was hoping it would look as good as it works, but it doesn't...for the price, disappointed.

REALLY like this after smoking the motor a bit on my 6 qt model after doubling some bread recipes. This takes it no problem!! It is also noticeably quieter than the 6 qt. It did arrive with a bad whip mixer right out of the box but a toll free call to KitchenAid and they replaced it no problem and at no cost. Also, the price was the very best at the WEBstaurant site! Even better than the cost of smaller models at other places! Great product and great service all around!
Marlin T. Posted on 04/07/2014
This mixer is excellent for commercial use. We opened a small bakery and have a large mixer. This one works well for small batches of bread.
Trixie K. from Crust and Crumb Firebrick Bread Posted on 03/17/2014
Recieved this Kitchenaid Mixer on Dec. 5th 2013. Absolutely love it. It is quiet and I love the fact you can use 8 quart size bowl and 5 quart size bowl. Spend the extra amount of money to purchase this mixer because you will find there are times you need a bigger bowl to do larger amounts of what ever it is you make. I use both bowls because I do a lot of icing for cakes. I wish I new about this Kitchenaid 8 quart before, because I purchased a 7 quart Cuisinart(big mistake) it rocked all over my counter(very light weight). You won't be sorry buying this mixer!

Did any one register for the Fire Service Explorer Weekend at the NYS Fire Academy?
We haven't received the paperwork yet, but normally go in July. I did not like last yrs 3 yr program, I hope they change it back to rope rescue.
I have been trying to call the guy for infomation for the last month and her will not get back to me.
Usually the paperwork is sent mid April-mid May. Not sure if we are going this year, its far for us and last year wasn't that great. They are not very good about getting back to people, i've had the same problem
The FPS' that head up the Explorer weekend do this in between their 'normal' assignments, which explain why it takes time to reply... They are on the road (out of town) frequently and when returning back to the office, have stacks of paperwork to complete, not mentioning replies to requests... They do a great job with what they have to work with...
Thanks for the replys we got the forms in the mail a few days ago.
My post is going July 31, Aug. 1 & 2.
Anyone else going that weekend?
We are going on the aug. weekend also
We host our own training weekend the 1st weekend in Aug, down in Putnam county,but also are not attending this yrs state weekend

Thomson Dream Cruise Review by Philh67: WOW, Thomson Dream, forget the rest, this is the best!!!

WOW, Thomson Dream, forget the rest, this is the best!!!
Yes, I read all the reviews. More than once.
Did the reviews concern me? Yes. Was I worried? Yes! Very!!!
Were my concerns justified?
No, no, no.
The ship is not new as I have already said, but it is not as bad (nowhere near) as reviews I have read previously. It is constantly being cleaned by the always cheerful crew.
Embarkation from start to finish? Smooth!!!!! Very good. Well done Thomsons.
The food is varied daily and to a very good standard, and there is always something available. Queues? If you turn up between 7.00am and 7.30am? Its busy! Come on, get real, its bound to be with 1500 people on board, outside of these times and there are no queues.
Cabin 7055, outside plus, excellent, no problems, more than big enough for two adults and a 15 year old. Bath, with excellent shower over, very powerful shower, hot water always. Clean, comfortable beds. More than enough storage, hangers in wardrobes. No concerns. More
Thankyou Ronald for looking after us so well, hope to see you in the Caribean sometime soon.
Sunbeds? Yes, can be a bit difficult to get on day at sea, rest of the cruise no problem.
Crew? Wow! Simply could not believe how cheerful they were, not put on. Simply wonderful, made our cruise, made our daughters cruise. Where ever you went, what ever time, could not do enough for you, superb.
Entertainment - strewth! Broadway theatre?? Better! The ammount of time and effort is incredible, dancing, singing, effort, dedication, whatever, they have it all, absolutely wonderfull.
During the day or Medusa lounge? Just as good. Go, go, go ginger warrior! Thankyou Mark.
We booked early and had all inclusive drinks included, absolutely worth it, singapore Slings, Tequila sunrise, you name it, superb. Mock tails for the under 18's were lovely and the bar staff were great with our daughter, made her feel like a princess.
Ports of call? Excellent. Price? Much cheaper than NCL.
Daily information, Great!
Any smells? No, none, nowhere on the ship where I went.
Would I travel with Thomson's again? Yes.
Would I sail on Thomson Dream Again? Oh Yes, definitely, without question.
Hope this helps anyone with any doubts, make your own mind up.
1500 people per week, a few complaints amongst many great reviews, not bad I would say. Less

Riviera Cruise Review by elizabethannie: A nice and easy cruise

Compare Prices on Riviera Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruises
A nice and easy cruise
The ship was one of the best we have sailed on.Beautiful and not too big. 1230 passengers or around that figure. People of many nationalities on board, and all announcements in English. Public announcements were kept to a minimum.
Reviews previously have not been too happy with the entertainment, but we found it to be a very good mixture and suited us very well. Excellent viewing in the Riviera Lounge. The staff were very professional in all departments.
We particularly liked the library, and Baristas coffee area. We were aware before we embarked that excursions were expensive, but as we had visited most of the destinations previously, we were happy to do our own thing. Drinks priced, especialy wines were on the high priced side, but the $300 dollars on board credit more than covered the 18% service charge
Sharing a table in the restaurants for dinner gave us a chance to meet some really interesting guests. The choice to have a table for two was always More
available. Food is the Riviera's strength and the choices were superb. I could not pick a favourite dining venue, they were all brilliant! Less

Cabin review: Con10077
Cabins very quiet. Soundproofing is excellent. Plenty storage space Lovely bathroom with good supplies of Bulgari toiletries. Ice bucket always filled.Room service faultless. Enjoyed our balcony. One of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. The Umbrella was a pleasant surprise and came in very handy on one occasion
Port and Shore Excursions
With the temp reaching 32 degrees. Some of the buildings looked a bit forlorn and in need of some TLC. We spotted a small train and took a trip on that. It was very good, and took us around the better parts of Corfu Town. I would have liked to take a trip out of the town and into the country
We went into Dubrovnik on the shuttle bus,but the towm was so crowded there was not much pleasure in walking around. So we took the shuttle bus back after a couple of hours Relaxed on the Balcony
Florence is a favourite destination, so we had good information from the ship on how to go to Florence by train. Station very close to major sights.
Livorno also a lovely city
Another favourite destination. Weather was a bit mixed, so we opted for a walk around the cliffs and visited the Museum and Aquarium with special priced tickets if one combined an entry into the Palace. We visited the two destinations and it was well worth it. We enjoyed our day there very much. We also visited Marseilles which was most interesting and also Palma Majorca, but there were no boxes for those details.
We couldn't anchor in Sorrento, due to a high swell? so we docked in Naples. Very hot and a bit showery. Wandered very busy streets and found some interesting buildings. The trafic in Naples was extremely busy. We set out to find the Cathedral but after several coffees and sore feet we must have walked all around it without finding it. I think we should have taken a taxi.
Having been to Rome previously , we spent time in Civitaveccia instead.
It was market day. We saw some of the finest fruit and vegetables I have seen in ages. No supermarket shopping here. A pleasant town with a waterfront for easy strolling.
I love Taormina. We shared a taxi with two other guests. Had a lovely time strolling around the town. We visited the Roman theatre and as we are senior citizens we had free admission. That was a nice surprise. Met our taxi sharing friends for a trip back to the ship
We stayed overnight in Venice. It is a beautiful city, and taking a trip with the water taxi was so busy. Passengers from MSC were disembarking there and trailing the luggage on to the water taxis.It looked quite harrassing.
Wandering around Venice we found a shop selling the best ice cream ever
Sailing out of Venice must be on the "one of the top ten things to do before you die!)

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare is a pleasure pier on the Bristol Channel approximately 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Bristol. It is located in North Somerset, within the county of Somerset.
The pier is privately owned and is one of three in the town together with Birnbeck Pier, which stands derelict awaiting possible restoration, and the much shorter SeaQuarium aquarium built towards the south end of the seafront. It is supported by 600 iron piles,[1] and is 400 metres (1,300 ft) long.[2]
The Grand Pier has been damaged by fire on two occasions, in 1930 and 2008.[1] Following the 2008 fire, which completely destroyed the pavilion, the pier was rebuilt at a cost of GB£39 million and reopened on 23 October 2010.[3]
Work began on building the pier on 7 November 1903, with P. Munroe acting as engineer, and it opened on 11 June 1904.[4] At the pier's end was a 2,000 seat theatre which was used as a music hall and for opera, stage plays and ballet. On 16 May 1907 an extension of the pier measuring 500 yards (1,500 ft) was opened, with the intention that the pier would be used as a docking point for boats to Cardiff. The dangerous currents in the bay made this too difficult, however, and the extension was demolished.[5]
The theatre at the pier's end was destroyed by fire on 13 January 1930.[6][7] As the building was underinsured the pier was put up for sale and bought by Leonard Guy, who opened a GB£60,000 new pavilion three years later.[8] This second pavilion housed a large undercover funfair rather than a theatre.[6]
The pier was sold in 1946 to Mr. A Brenner, who went on to improve the pier's facilities, adding new shops and an amusement arcade to the pavilion in the early 1970s. As a result of the extra investment, the pier became a Grade II listed building in 1974.[5] It won the National Piers Society Pier of the Year award in 2001.[9] One scene from the film The Remains of the Day was filmed here in 1992.[10]
Brenner continued his ownership of the pier until 6 February 2008, when it was sold to brother and sister partnership Kerry and Michelle Michael. The pier immediately underwent a multi-million-pound revamp, which included a new branding scheme. GB£1 million was spent installing a new go-kart track, a fully licenced bar, and a climbing wall into the pavilion. However at 01:35 BST on 28 July 2008, a fire at the foot of the north tower on the shoreward (eastern) end of the pavilion triggered the privately monitored fire alarm,[11] but the Essex-based alarm monitoring company were unable to contact the key-holder by mobile phone and no further action was taken.[12] It was not until 06:46 BST that the Avon Fire and Rescue Service was notified. It deployed 13 fire engines, special appliances, and more than 85 firefighters to tackle the blaze,[11] but the building was soon destroyed.[13]
Robert Tinker, a Grand Pier employee, was later praised by the fire brigade as he braved the extreme intensity of the heat from the flames to rush around the side of the building to remove several gas canisters which had been stored within the premises, had these not been removed the fire brigade claimed that the blaze could have been much worse, with the possibility of local residents and traders needing to be evacuated.[14] Preliminary investigations suggested that the fire started due to a number of deep fat fryers which had been located within the area pavilion,[13] however after further investigation this was later ruled out, as was arson. On 22 October 2008 at a news conference held by the fire brigade it was announced that the cause of the fire would be recorded as unknown, but that the most likely cause was electrical.[15]
Work began dismantling the wreckage on 12 September 2008,[16] and the Bristol architects Angus Meek won the contract to design the new pavilion on 15 October.[17] North Somerset Council approved the plans, which also included a rotating observation tower 91 metres (299 ft) in height, on 12 March 2009.[18][19] Contractors John Sisk and Son were selected to construct the new pavilion, which was expected to be completed by June 2010,[20] but was delayed following several setbacks and instead reopened in time for half-term break on 23 October 2010.[3] The opening day attracted more than 52,000 visitors, and an estimated 100,000 for the whole weekend.[21]
In January 2013, security company System 2 Security Limited was proven in court to be responsible for the fire damage to the pier in 2008 due to negligence. Kerry and Michelle Michael, the pier owners, were awarded GB£30 million by a judge at Bristol Mercantile Court.[22]

That weekend in Vegas with Gideon Nash is one of Jacinda Barrett's steamiest memories. Too bad it's also the one she most wants kept secret. After all, working as an exotic dancer to fund college doesn't exactly fit with her current upscale lifestyle.
So when Gideon reappears like a sexy ghost from her past, can she refuse his promise of an even better time? The temptation is simply too much for Jacinda to resist.
But as their fling revisited evolves into something that looks like commitment, she discovers Gideon has a dirty little secret of his own. And it's one that could make their weekend in Vegas seem like family entertainment.

This tab holds annotation information from the InterPro database.
InterPro entry IPR000427
E2 is an early regulatory protein found in the dsDNA papillomaviruses. The viral genome is a 7.9-kb circular DNA that codes for at least eight early and two late (capsid) proteins. The products of the early genes E6 and E7 are oncoproteins that destabilise the cellular tumour suppressors p53 and pRB. The product of the E1 gene is a helicase necessary for viral DNA replication. The products of the E2 gene play key roles in the regulation of viral gene transcription and DNA replication. During early stages of viral infection, the E2 protein represses the transcription of the oncogenes E6 and E7, reintroduction of E2 into cervical cancer cell-lines leads to repression of E6/E7 transcription, stabilisation of the tumour suppressor p53, and cell-cycle arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. E2 can also induce apoptosis by a p53-independent mechanism.
E2 proteins from all papillomavirus strains bind a consensus palindromic sequence ACCgNNNNcGGT present in multiple copies in the regulatory region. It can either activate or repress transcription, depending on E2RE's position with regard to proximal promoter elements. Repression occurs by sterically hindering the assembly of the transcription initiation complex. The E2 protein is composed of a C-terminal DNA-binding domain and an N-terminal trans-activation domain. E2 exists in solution and binds to DNA as a dimer The E2-DNA binding domain forms a dimeric beta-barrel, with each subunit contributing an anti-parallel 4-stranded beta-sheet "half-barrel" [PUBMED:1328886, PUBMED:11988474]. The topology of each subunit is beta1-1-beta2-beta3-2-beta4. Helix 1 is the recognition helix housing all of the amino acid residues involved in direct DNA sequence specification. Upon dimerisation, strands beta2 and beta4 at the edges of each subunit participate in a continuous hydrogen-bonding network, which results in an 8-stranded beta-barrel. The dimer interface is extensive, made up of hydrogen bonds between subunits and a substantial hydrophobic beta-barrel core.

Leszek Kolakowski
One of Europe's great philosophers, winner of the first annual Kluge Prize, a Marxist in his youth who wrote the definitive de-construction of Marxism, the intellectual godfather of the democratic opposition in Poland.
Leszek Kolakowski
philosopher, historian, theologian, political scientist, literary critic, playwright, storyteller, jester...
Leszek Kolakowski, born in Radom, Poland, in 1927, has had a profound influence not only on contemporary philosophy but on the recent history of Poland in particular and of Europe as a whole.
Kolakowski was a philosopher who has always put greater stock in the questions asked than in the answers. He was a major public intellectual whose exceptional intellectual and moral integrity has allowed him to change his views, as demonstrated by the trajectory of his own life and thought, much of which was closely tied to political developments in post-war Poland. He began as a young philosopher enthusiastic about the promise of Marxism, became chair of Warsaw University's Philosophy Department but also the regime's harshest revisionist critic, and eventually concluded after hard experience that a democratic communism would be like 'fried snowballs'. In fact it was Kolakowski, expelled from the Party and the University but welcomed by Oxford, who formulated the idea of self-organized social groups that could gradually and peacefully expand the spheres of civil society within a totalitarian state. This idea directly inspired Poland's dissident movements of the 1970s that led to Solidarity and the eventual collapse in 1989 of the communists' monopoly on power.
Kolakowski's more than 30 books range from the monumental Main Currents of Marxism to his playfully wide-ranging Mini Lectures on Maxi Matters. Czeslaw Milosz has described Kolakowski as "a good example of the return to the mores of the Enlightenment, when a philosopher did not withdraw into an ivory tower but waged war on the creeds of his contemporaries", which, adds Milosz, he does with 'Voltairian irony'. Comparisons to Voltaire may be warranted not only in his philosophy but perhaps even in his physiognomy.
A Senior Research Fellow in philosophy at All Souls College, Oxford, until his retirement in 1995, Leszek Kolakowski was renowned worldwide for the depth and breadth of his interests, which include the thought of the Enlightenment, his critical examination of Marxism, and his explorations in religion and myth. He was also known for his remarkable ability to convey complex philosophical questions with clarity - and humor - to the general public.
Winner of 2003 Library of Congress' First John W. Kluge Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Humanities and Social Sciences, called the humanities Nobel Prize.
Kolakowski died in Oxford, where he lived, on July 17, 2009

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Reason with hubby and settle for one new car
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I am livid! My husband just said he'd buy me a new car "when pigs fly." He has been making tons of money the last three years since he started a lucrative offshoot of his already successful business. He just bought himself a shiny new Mercedes and I am still driving a broken-down old Volvo. We have young kids and I am a stay-at-home mother, who makes his workaholic life possible. (He just loves it.) He gives me a monthly allowance of $2,000 to pay for household expenses. Woo-hoo, it's a big expensive house to run. As a mother, I make $24,000 a year and subtract those expenses and he makes ten times that after taxes. Yes, he pays for the house and cars, but why is he driving the status-mobile and I have to go around in a clunky old Volvo? I told him I wanted a new Volvo and a small convertible for me. That would be fair at his new level of wealth. He said "No way!" this morning as he took the keys and went off to work in his Mercedes, with a golf match at this fancy new golf club teed up after work. -- Slave Woman with Wealthy Man
Dear Woman: Comparisons are odious, but they work where status is concerned if the man is still insecure about his new level of wealth and acceptance by his "peers." Drive the clunker Volvo to the golf course and park there for a bit. Take note of what the women drive in and out. Since he's getting off on being nouveau riche, point out what different women are driving home from that parking lot. Then learn to bargain as he would in business. You don't need two new cars because that comes off as unreasonable and reason is king in arguments with businessmen like yours. Go for the newest, kid-safe car with a sun roof for you for now -- one you have already researched. That's what you're most likely to see in the golf course parking lot driven by women with kids. P.S. Do take up golf, with lessons, so you're good. It's part of the new social life and a smart stay-at-home wife doesn't stay at home all the time
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I threw a vase at my partner and she ducked. It smashed into the front picture window and broke into a million pieces, cracking the window.. She and I both started bawling our eyes out, and ended up lying on the rug talking and working out what was wrong with us. Then we made love and made up, kind of. We're a same sex couple who really love each over. . . The trouble is I'm hiding something. I used to be violent and that's why my first partner left me long ago. I got counselling and was non-violent with my second long-term partner but then she never got me mad, either. She was very easygoing. My new partner is fiery and I love her the best of all the three, but she's mouthy and gets to me the same way the first one did. Am I doomed to need women who are agreeable to the point of boring? I really want to be a good partner for the love in my life but I can feel those old feelings coming back. -- Scared About Me, Wolseley
Dear Scared: Let the glass breaking be a symbol of your relationship shattering. Get thee to a counsellor. You have had a dramatic warning. You've found yourself another fiery woman and you will not keep her if your behaviour repeats itself. You're a fiery person with experience using your hands in fights, from way back. Ask around to find the best psychologist you can, first investigating work to see if your workplace has group insurance to help. You can tell work you need to learn to relax and control stress; don't tell them about the violence. That's not a good thing to put on your work record. Then attack the problem yourself by hitting the big box stores, sitting down and reading the first chapters of books that could help you, and taking home the best one. Before you do anything today, read an excellent article on domestic violence between same sex partners (about the complicating factors) by Linda Peterman and Charlotte Dixon at http://www.vawnet.org/AssoFiles_VAWnet/ImplicationsforCounseling.pdf. Also, call the Rainbow Resource Centre for gay and lesbian-friendly counsellor suggestions.

American Autumn Shishapangma Expedition 2005: Buying Fixed Line
Sunset on Shishapangma from Base Camp
There's been quite a few dispatches of late, as each climber gets their word in. And now I get mine... We're in Shigatse now, and this will likely be the last internet connection; everything else is via satphone, so the dispatch frequency will drop dramatically.
Things are going well. The climb was arranged through the Chinese/Tibet Mountaineering Association and the Tibet Mountain Guide School (they're the same thing). Eric mentioned our porter (Bemba, not Pemba as we initially thought) had summited Shisha and Everest. Bemba is a graduate of the school as well as C/TMA employee, so HE will be our Laiason Officer (LO). It doesn't get better than that. We've already discussed having him join us on summit day, having him as both a climber and porter. Afterward, current plans are that Bemba will travel to Cho Oyo Base Camp with us, arrange the yaks and deal with the Cho Oyo LO. But depending how things work out, we may ask him to join us on CO, offering him another 8000m peak on his resume.
Fixed Line: Run-of-the-mill fixed line looks like nylon water-skiing rope and is very inexpensive (last year on Ama Dablam we paid $45/200m). You can buy high quality static kernmantle rope, but that's only used for vertical sections. We were expecting to buy our
600m of fixed line in Lhasa, and would run us $150-200 (this works out to 2Yuan/meter). Uh, no... there's none to be found. But Me Nema, the head of the school and C/TMA guy, offered to sell us some of their static kernmantle (top-of-the-line, and way more than we need). For $900, or 16Yuan/m. Uh. no... We find this out at dinnertime on our last night in Lhasa. So we beat feet into town, to the three climbing stores. There, we can buy static kenmantle for a stunning 28-35Yuan/m - that's almost $500 for 100m! We ask our cultural guide Mima and our drive if they can take us to someplace that sells rope. So into some narrow alleyway behind Barkhor Square we run, finding three different rope seller booths.
After feeling our way through dozens of ropes we find just the right fixed line. Opening bid - 2Yuan/meter (now we're talking!). He only has 150m on hand, and we say we want 600m. This is probably more than he's sold all week, and in seconds a young boy sprints
away. While inspecting and measuring the rope, the boy returns with another 450m, while Val's negotiating.
So in the end we got it for 1Yuan/m, paying 624Yuan for 624 meters ($78) - a far cry from $900!
The frantic rope search, with all its ups and downs, was a kick in the pants. It's what makes expeditions fun!
So tomorrow we drive to Tingri, but must leave early - "The road, it's not so good". It'll take all day to cover the same distance we did today in four hours.

sprouting and raw quinoa?
sprouting and raw quinoa?
For those of you out there using quinoa – can I just soak it and eat it or does it have to be sprouted to be ok to eat? Most of the recipes on goneraw are using sprouted quinoa from what I can tell. I'm a bit confused on this whole sprouting issue to be honest. I've been soaking and using raw oats and buckwheat without sprouting but perhaps I should be? Are these things still nutritious without the sprouting? Sounds like a stupid question but I'm just not at all clear on this so any thoughts would be wonderful to hear!
Heyy, this may be helpful. http://quinoatips.com/can-you-eat-quinoa-raw/
think of it this way, you have a seed with the potential to sprout life (a plant), all you need to do is add water.
So you soak the seed for 4 hours, and then drain, the next morning rinse with water and drain again, by the end of the day the seed should of sprouted with a little tail, full of LIFE ENERGY.
You can add it to a salad, or mix it with chopped veggies and a vinaigrette or Blend it with a Seed milk and Banana for a morning breakfast!!
Whatever you do rinse, rinse, rinse and rinse it. Quinoa is high in saponins which can reduce the palatability of the product but can also make you sick – I speak from experience here. I made a lovely quinoa salad, but was so sick I can't face it any more!
I tried sprouting quinoa the other day but within hours of soaking it started to smell funny. It was bad by the next day, even though I rinsed it three times a day with my other sprouts.
Sprouted Quinoa is not a favorite of mine. Maybe it's just tricky, but I do well with other sprouts. Pretty yucky actually.
I like sprouted quinoa in things. I only soak it for 30 minutes to maybe an hour or so, and then rinse & drain it several times befor leaving it out to sprout – and I make sure it is drained really well. It sprouts within a day or less, but I like mine to sprout for at least a whole day so it's not quite so crunchy. :)
Oh, and lots of people eat buckwheat just soaked & not sprouted.
I agree with Angie. I've had no trouble sprouting quinoa. For me, it has been the easiest and most successful of my sprouting attempts. I soaked it a few hours and it was sprouting within a few more hours. I could have used it that day. If it gets waterlogged it will start to go bad and smell. Draining it is so important. I've made sprouted quinoa tabbouleh that was even better than the traditional version with bulgur.
On the sprouting topic, does anyone know why my mung bean sprouts are taking on a mauve hue? They smell okay. They're a bit bitter, but not rotten at all. Did I expose them to too much light? I'm sprouting them in a strainer, which may not be ideal, but I understand that they do better when they're tightly packed, so I thought the strainer might work. Any thoughts?
1sweetpea – oooo – I am really interested to know the answer to your question too. This has happened to me many times (with my garbanzos too and it always kinda freaks me out. InhHigh school I took a microbiology class and we would grow various' life forms' on petri dishes. One of things that would frequently show up on our swabbing was a pink hued bacteria growth…the name escapes me at the moment..but I often see it growing in parts of my shower were water sits for too long…
anyway- I always wonder if its bacteria in my rinsing water that's causing the pink/puplish hue on my sprouts….I've never seen conventional sprouts with this coloring.
Also, I don't have a filter on my sink and sometimes I just can't justify using all my bottled water to rinse the beans, so I soak in filtered, but rinse with tap…
Aspergillus rosea is the pink form, grows beautfully (unfortunatly) in my shower room!
explains all :-)

Dr. Gregory M. Giesler's Ratings
DR. Giesler seemed nice and friendly but he was WEIRD in a way I can not describe. He did not bother asking about my family history. He was very nonchalant about how I had been feeling or what I went through recently for an emergancy room visit that said I had an abnormal heart rate, he brushed it off. He even went on to correct my pronunciation of a heart defect I mentioned that my child had. Not to get into so many details and to make a long story short. My advise per my experiance - go see someone else. Your heart health should be taken seriously not loosley especially if you are worried about it, you should not come out of the doctor's office feeling more worried or stressed than when you went in. It was back to square one in finding out what is wrong with my heart. I did not feel better coming outta of there having seen him. I felt annoyed that they allow people to get degrees and become doctors that act like this.
Was this rating useful? 1 [[ userState['ratings'][879272].votes_count ]]
The doctor came in and did not remember what procedure he had done on me. He did not have my chart . He had to ask the Physician's assistant whether he had done "the left or the left and right, whether it was the anterior or not." And he did not address the pain in my leg which was quite significant. I was astounded that he could be so cavalier and blasé . It was very distressing. I have never written a review about anyone or anything before but this was so egregious that I was compelled to write.

A circular polarization analyzer for γ rays is described. Measurements on circular polarization of bremsstrahlung due to β particles from P32 and Tm170 agree with previous and concurrent measurements and, together with Co60 circular polarization correlation studies, establish a check on the calculated calibration curve of the analyzer. We have studied the β-γ circular polarization correlation in the following allowed j-j transitions: Na24, Sc44, Sc46, V48, and Co58. The result for Sc46 indicates the presence of a strong interference between Gamow-Teller and Fermi couplings. The β interaction, therefore, should contain a combination of S and T, or (and) V and A, interactions with small or no phase difference between the interaction constants. If one assumes maximum interference, our experiments give information on the ratio of Gamow-Teller to Fermi interaction. The once-forbidden transition Au198 gives the maximum possible asymmetry. All results are in agreement with the 2-component neutrino theory and the assumption of V, A or alternatively S, T, P interaction.

View along Whiterock bay to Sketrick Island and remains of the castle. Sketrick island is also home to Daft Eddys bar and resturant, a great watering hole on the Lough.
Daft Eddie by the by was one of a gang of smugglers of Strangford Lough who eluded the customs men continually, mainly due to 'Daft'Eddie who they never believed was a smuggler .. just the local simpleton. Daft Eddie, or The Smugglers of Strangford Lough, a book by W G Lyttle tells the story of the incredible activities of a wild band of smugglers who conducted a reign of terror around the shores of Strangford Lough in the early years of the 19th century.
As with all of the coastline of Northern Ireland,Strangford Lough is looked after by the National trust.
I've been working around this area of Strangford lough, Co Down,Northern Ireland, for years…awful job.. but !…Hey somebodyhas to do it!!!

Style: FMA/MT--abs exercise for a buggered back?
anyone got any good suggestions for exercises that wont screw my back up, i cant do loads of crunches etc , due to a recurring back problem. I do a fair few back exercises to keep the strength in it, but as yet i cant find anything for abs that isnt just counter productive in terms of pain.
thanks -
