It's the 2004 Weblog Awards!!
I urge any and all readers to click over to the 2004 Weblog Awards and vote among the myriad categories. Unbeknownst to me -- thanks to R.H. for the link -- I see that I'm nominated for "Best of the Top 100 Blogs". So... vote for me, dammit!! I've never won one of these awards, and if at all possible I'd like to avoid becoming the Harold Stassen of the blogosphere. And, looking at the voting to date, I appear to be getting my ass kicked. UPDATE: Ah, now I see why I'm getting my ass kicked -- Megan McArdle is playing dirty -- really, really dirty. Logicians among the readership are invited to reconcile the conundrum of how the Best of the Top 100 Blogs would not therefore better than the Best Overall Blog -- since all of them are Top 100 blogs. posted by Dan on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PMComments: Too late, I already voted... ...for you (despite Jane Galt's tearful pleading). She's still kicking yer butt, though. And as I said there, how can anyone take this contest seriously if Marginal Revolution isn't even listed anywhere? posted by: fling93 on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PM [permalink]haha! Yeah, she's cheating! PS. I voted for you Dan. :) posted by: Mark on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PM [permalink]I would reconcile your conundrum thusly: Blogs are determined "Top 100" etc not by quality, but by number of hits, popularity, etc. Ergo an excellent blog, 300th in hits per day, might actually be a higher quality blog than the most popular overall, yet appeal to smaller audiences for any number of factors. Then again, I could be wrong, and the purveyors of the survey determined "Top 100" and so forth in their own way. posted by: Ivan on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PM [permalink]Dan, in case you didn't catch it, David Brooks of the NYT during some conference at the Newseum broadcast on CSPAN last night mentioned your blog as one of the blogs he reads every day. That's worth a prize or something. posted by: anne on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PM [permalink]I voted for you, Dan. It did kind of look as if they should have called the category "Best 11-109 Blogs." The way the poll is structured leaves the impression that Instapundit et. al. have gotten so big as to become something otherblogly, practically mainstream media. posted by: Zathras on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PM [permalink]Forget tears for votes. Can you promise more Selma in every pot? posted by: wishIwuz2 on 12.03.04 at 05:54 PM [permalink]Post a Comment: |

"This is not part of their budget."
Allan Hubbard
"We can have balanced budgets every single year, and still set aside (funds) to pay down the debt and eliminate the debt by the year 2012. You'll find that all the pieces fit together, and it's highly specific."
Al Gore
"Based on the budget we were looking at, this levy will be used for the operating budget, salaries, repairs and maintenance, no capital improvements."
Wade Estep
"I don't think, budget-wise, we could afford to start a program. But I can't say that even if we did have the money, that we could find the teachers."
Ann Marie Dillon
"In terms of actual measurable revenues and downloads, the bigger brands with the bigger marketing budgets are seeing the lion's share of transactions."
Anil Malhotra
"Initially, we are allocating $6 million from our budget to the joint venture."
Alexei Miller
"We know that traveling on a budget can be difficult if you aren't familiar with where to find the best deals. 'Escapes Under $500' offers our readers details on all aspects of a trip to help make it not only affordable, but enjoyable as well. In fact, each column is based on my actual travels, so we can give our readers a real, first-hand experience of traveling for less."
Anne Banas
"The budget surplus is real, not imagined, and it means that the tax is no longer needed,"
Bill Archer
"If we had to go to a lower percentage increase with this budget we would not be able to offer the same quality education that West Hartford has come to expect out of its schools. The administration team looked for savings in every area that that they could and I believe that they have done a great job of bringing a responsible budget to us."
Beth Bye
"We didn't budget enough in salaries and we had a shortfall in state and local revenues."

I once did a movie trailer for a young producer who played me an industrial-sounding track to "get my direction." The tune sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place it. My sonic instincts told me it was a Les Paul though a battery of pedals, so after dialing in the right amount of grunge, I went to work on the "wiggle" effects. There seemed to be some Rotovibe swirl and vintage phase shifting in the reference track, and I also added random beeps and squawks with an Electrix Filter Factory.
But the producer wasn't satisfied. After every tweak I made, he'd play the reference track, and insist that something was missing. I'd go back and adjust my distortion, pedals, reverbs, and delays. The engineer would move his mics, change EQ settings, and fine-tune compression levels. And the producer just got more and more upset that we couldn't achieve the sound on his reference CD.
After about an hour, I could see we were heading down a centrifugal bumble- pluck to nowhere. I put down my guitar, walked over to the mixing board, and asked, "What CD is this, anyway?"
The producer produced the CD, and I just had to laugh. It was the soundtrack to a Kathryn Bigelow movie I had played on in 1995 called Strange Days. The guitar sound the producer was so intent on copying was mine! I opened the booklet and showed him where it said "Guitars by Carl Verheyen," but he didn't let up. Instead, he asked naively, "Then, why can't you get that sound now?" I thought about explaining how it was a different studio, different mics, a different board, and a different engineer. Instead, I replied, "Because I just don't feel that way today." That shut him up. We tracked the tune in five minutes.

Carnival Splendor Cruise Review by terriberri: Mother/daughter cruise
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Carnival Splendor Mexican Riviera Cruises
Mother/daughter cruise
This was my first cruise on Carnival. I have also cruised with RCL, Celebrity, NCL and Costa cruise lines.
Embarkation : We arrived at the pier around 12:00pm. There was a huge line waiting. Took an hour from start to finish. Our canins were ready by 2pm, luggage arrived by 3pm and the safety drill was fast and I really appreciated the fact that Carnival does not reguire the wearing of lifejackets during the drill.
Cabin : I had an inside cabin on the 7th deck. The cabin felt roomier then the average inside, loved the flatscreen tv, and found the cabin clean and our room steward did a great job all week.
Dining : We had a table in the Black Pearl Restaurant. Enjoyed dinner every evening. Some standouts were the Chocolate Melting Cake, Bitter and Blanc bread pudding, the Boneless shortribs and the Duck! Our service was wonderful and I think the best we have had in many cruises. My DD and I really do not like buffets, but I found the buffet usual fare and More
quality, with a few exceptions. The Mongolian Stirfry was delicious and I thought the Tandori Grill was a good quality of Indian food. When I 1st heard that a Chocalate Buffet would be at noon versus the more traditional Midnight Buffet, I thought this was a good idea. But it was a disapointment! The buffet had no ice sculptures, quality of desserts seemed low and no chocolate covered fruit! The Sushi bar was very fresh and delicious ! I also loved the free cocktail party the ship hosted on our last evening. Many drinks were served and lots of choices.
Entertainment : The shows were enjoyable, especially the Vroom show. The dancers and singers seemed a par above the usual on a cruise ship. The theater had a good sound system as well as comfortable seating.
Ship : There has been a lot written about the Splendor decor, I found it not overwhelming but would have to agree , it was a little 80's Vegas for my taste. The layout of the ship only took a few days to get use to, actually one of the easiest to me. I loved the adults only pool area but my favorite was the adults Serenity area , was especially quiet. My DD and I really loved the miniature golf course, was so much fun and for it being on a ship, really set up well. The water slides were fun even for adults, as usual not enough hot tubs to go around.
I really loved the fact that Carnival spends a long day in Puerta Vallarta, 9am to 10pm! This too me is the best port to experience Mexico.
I would say that my Daughter and I had an enjoyable cruise, very relaxing and would definitely sail on Carnival again. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
My DD and I shared a van into Downtown, cost $3.00 per person. We spent the day exploring downtown, crossed the River into the Romantic zone, enjoyed lunch at Muertos Beach, at Daiquiris Dicks.
In the evening we took a taxi to Krystal resort. only cost $5.00. I had made a reservation for a massage, loved all my fellow CC members advice. The hour and 15 minute massage was wonderful and the new spa beautiful. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that I was quoted the price of $85.00 for two. When I arrived the receptionist charged me $95.00. i had left my email in the cabin so choose to say nothing..

Giant crocodile caught in the Philippines - video
A 6.1-metre (20ft) saltwater crocodile has been captured in Bunawan, 515 miles south-east of Manila. Villagers had hunted the 1,075kg crocodile – at least 50 years old – for three weeks. It took 100 people to pull it to a clearing, where a crane lifted it on to a truck

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Monaco Shore Excursion: Private Day Trip to Monaco, Eze and Nice. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Our guide, Victor, gave a great overview of Eze, Monaco and Nice, in that order. We particularly like seeing Nice from high above the city and then driving down into the city. Previously, we had seen the city only from the beach. If you want a great overview in a private car, this is the trip for you.
This was a fabulous tour. Our guide picked us up promptly at the port. We mentioned that we would prefer to see Eze and Nice first, no problem. Returning us to Monaco, where we could return to the ship, or stay in Monaco for more shopping time. Excellent tour.
This tour was the highlight of our cruise...our guide was charming, informative and listened to what we wanted to do and see and then 'made it happen'.
We found Cyril to be a quite personable and knowledgeable. A true gentleman! Thx for sending him!!!!
Excellent vehicle , excellent guide who was very flexible but made sure we saw what we needed , would recommend him
Great Tour!! Our tour guide was Robert and he was very informative and flexible with our family of six. Because we were not on a large bus of people, he was able to change directions and show us things as they came up in conversation. He had several suggestions of where we may want to eat and pointed out areas of interest for all of our family members. He truly made us feel as if he were there to serve us and show us his homeland! I'd definitely recommend this tour!
Our day in Nice, Eze and Monaco was fabulous!! Our guide was Manwell and he made our day perfect! He started out by taking us on a lap "around the track/streets of Monte Carlo" where the race takes place. Then we headed to Nice, Eze and back to Monte Carlo. He gave us lots of opportunities to stop and take pictures as well as a great deal of information on the area! I would highly recommend Manwell!!!!
Our guide, Joe, met us at the port and took us on a circuit around the Monaco Grand Prix track. After that, we drove along the beautiful coastline for a look out over Nice, then into the market in Nice, another scenic route to Eze, lunch in the old city, and an additional scenic drive looking out over Monaco.
This was the highlight of our extended European vacation. Joe was an excellent guide and, more importantly for us, he took great care of our 81 year old mother, making sure that she had everything she needed and that she could participate in our activities. If you are thinking about booking this excursion, go for it -- it's wonderful.
What a day. Waiting for us when we debarked from the ship. Impressed by the knowledge of our driver/guide. We saw all the sights as promised but always had time to walk around and see things along the way. Some with our guide and some we were able to wander on our own. MARVELOUS MARVELOUS DAY !!
Fantastic tour. Far exceeded our expectations. Very informative, loved all the destinations. This tour was well worth the money
Robert was great!
Saw so much and the guide was knowledgable. Did not feel rushed as you do with a ship excursion.
It was a great trip. Good coordination to make it back on time to our cruise. We coordinated with three drivers to be able to meet with other members of the family for lunch and it worked perfectly. My favorite part was being able to move around as we pleased without the restriction of being part of a time-controlled group.
Thanks a lot for your excellent coordination.
Sylvie was a fantastic guide and gave us a great tour of a beautiful part of the world.
After confirming the arrival time and ship we were traveling on, they sent the tour guide to the wrong port. Once the tour guide arrived, the tour was very good. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this tour and guide but I would ask for everything in writing and double and triple check the pickup point since there are apparently multiple ports.

Bussekspress Question. (self.Norway)
submitted 2 years ago by OptioMkIX
Hi r/Norway!
I'm just finalising my travel tickets for my trip to my better half's family for christmas - I get into Torp Saturday at about 1550 local, and I'm leaving next friday on a flight leaving at 1110.
Since my girlfriend lives in Kristiansand, I'm getting the Nor-Way coach there and back, but I've got a couple of questions.
1) The bus doesnt actually leave from Torp airport but a small place near Torp called Fokserod thats about 3km down the road. Any idea how much (NOK) I should need to get a taxi down there from the airport?
2) The return journey I'm much more worried about. The bus leaves Kristiansand at 0610 and gets to Fokserod at 0940 (barring any delays...), giving me about an hour and a half to get to the airport and through all the stuff before I get on the plane.
I'm kindof hoping that someone has done this trip before because I'm one of these people that gets very edgy over delays and having enough time to get through the airport. Do the coaches have major delays compared to the timetable, or are they pretty accurate?
[–]Stig2011 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)
According to the airport's website, it's about five minutes and 100-150 NOK in taxi to the bus stop.
You will probably be fine on the way back as well, but it depends on the bus being accurate. That said, Torp is not a big airport, and you will probably not use more than a few minutes from walking in the door until you're at the gate.
[–]steffenmac 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
On the other hand, while it's not a big airport, when there is a load of people there, it takes a while.
Should be fine though, the biggest rush is early mornings and between 4-6 pm
[–]OptioMkIX[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thanks for this. I just hope its not like Haugesund where they manage to make you use the full length of the building parallel to the runway. :/
[–]woooom 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I live in Kristiansand, and I have done this trip many times.
On your return journey, you just ask the buss driver to have a taxi ready for you when you arrive in Fokserød. The taxi will then be ready at Fokserød when you arrive. Its a 3 minute drive from Fokserød to the airport. You will have pleny of time.
Delays. I have never had any delays with the coaches so far in my 50+ trips. They are pretty accurate, so often you will arrive head of time.
Brilliant. Thankyou!
[–]ChrisEDubbs 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child)
The taxi journey wil be the set minimum price. In Oslo thats 135kr, it might be a little cheaper since you are outside the city. As far as the bus goes, you'll be fine, I've been living here for 5 years and could probably count on one hand the number of times I have experienced a delay on public transport. Even the snow doesn't cause problems. It would be worth checking how many other flights are leaving Torp around the same time as yours though, its a tiny airport and the queues can sometimes be a bit of a drag. Enjoy your trip!
From what I can tell at that time its just mine and one an hour later.
From all my visits to Norway, I have to say the public transport is such a breath of fresh air compared to the UK. Everythings so logical and you can tell a real effort has been made to make it as easy as possible which really pays off in the long run.
Stavanger particularly with the bus and rail stations right next to each other with a massive car park on top.
[–]Tuscan91 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I've visited Norway through Torp many times, and you're right about having to go to Fokserød for catching the bus along the south coast. Fokserød is a small highway stop with not much more than a gas station, only about 3 kilometers from Torp airport. There's a shuttle service driving up and down to Fokserød all the time. I never had much luggage and I'd just walk, and the beautiful thing is, people from around there know you have to get to that busstop, so they just give you free rides! Out of the 5-6 times I've landed there, I'd just start walking towards the highway and people would just stop and tell me to get in. One time even a Polish guy that worked in Norway temporarily stopped for me and took me to the gas station. The taxi might be more convenient and not all that expensive, but if you're not too packed up on luggage, give it a go, it'll be fun!
Also, look at lavprisekspressen.no and konkurrenten.no. These bus companies are way cheaper than Nor-way or Sørlandsekspressen. I used both of them in the last month and never encountered any delays at all, neither did I in my previous journeys. Hope this could be of any help, have a merry christmas over here in this wonderful country!:)

I was considering walking it, all I've got is a satchel and large duffel bag thing that I can throw on my shoulder. I wouldnt be surprised if people stopped and offered a lift, its happened to me before.
Back around Easter when my gf was living in Haugesund I spent the flight talking with a nice young woman (Ingeborg Beatte Jonsson I think, from memory - her dads some kind of engineer dealing with large public projects) who was going home for Easter about the differences between the UK and Norway. We said bye as we got off the plane but got our luggage and walked out of the airport at the same time so she got her dad to drive me into Haugesund instead of waiting for the coach.
Just as I thought my day couldnt get any better I then had a guided tour of Haugesund by her dad talking about all the history of the town until we pulled up by my very confused girlfriends house.
I'll keep walking in mind.
[–]steffenmac 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
There's a shuttle service driving up and down to Fokserød all the time.
Well, no. Not in any official capacity. There is a shuttle service to the train station, but that is in the opposite direction.
[–]aldaristar 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I live in the area about 30 mins from Torp, so depending on the dates you come/go, I might be able to help out if need be.
[–]OseOseOse 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It took me a little while to notice you were not asking a "Buksepress question".
[–]redddittt 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Are you travelling from Torp and outside Norway? In that case you most likely have to check in earlier than if it was a domestic flight. Be sure to check what your ticked says about this, usually it's around an hour before departure.
You can check in before going through security or dropping of your luggage though, so it will probably go just fine.
If next friday is going to be anything like this friday you should be fine.
Took this picture at 0940 today of the security checkpoint
[–]fergie 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Ask at the information desk.
Theres a lot of stuff at Torp that you "just have to know"
[–]nShorty 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Everything you need to know about public transportation in Norway.

Schulze, Max-Stephan (2007) Regional income dispersion and market potential in the late nineteenth century Hapsburg Empire. Economic History Working Papers, 106/07. Department of Economic History, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.
Download (725Kb) | Preview |
This paper presents new regional GDP estimates for the Habsburg Monarchy and constructs measures of market potential for its 22 major regions. The paper argues that regional income differentials were significantly larger, that intra-empire catching-up of poor with rich regions was far more limited and that the empire's Eastern regions were much further behind Western Europe than suggested in the historiography. The measurement of regional market potential proves strongly sensitive to the composition of foreign economies considered in the computations and the choice of regional 'nodes'. Further, though being 'remote' imposed some penalty, there was no uniform relationship between changes in regions' relative GDP position and their market potential.

Bomberman Online

One of the most complete Dreamcast game packages I've seen in a very long time.
A solid final online title for the Dreamcast, and offers some insane party-game enjoyment, despite the fact that you have to pay for online play. However, the game is quite inexpensive, and is available at most stores for only $29.95, which might allow you to shell out for two months of online gaming.
With the addition of online play, Bomberman Online takes an old standard and makes it feel at least somewhat fresh again.
One of the most addictive things you can do that won't make various parts of your anatomy turn black and fall off. [Nov 2001, p.125]
The online play is good, its just not great.
BO is literally one big blast after the other. Keep in mind, though, that the Online in BO is really what you make of it. [Dec 2001, p.260]
The deciding factor of this game has to be how often you have friends over to participate in the battle modes. If you have chums over all the time, put this one in the must-buy category, otherwise Bomberman Online is still worth a rental or two.
Controls are a cinch to learn and master, so the game becomes enjoyable in record time.
A high point in the series.
Manages to breathe new life into an old formula. I love the new rules and hope they show up elsewhere in the Bomberman series.
The strong multiplayer establishes Bomberman Online as a worthwhile purchase. Though the story mode is challenging, once finished, there is little incentive to continue play.
User score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
JimJul 23, 2003As long as you have 3 or more human players... this game is impossible to beat in terms of fun factor.

Proton/Breeze M mishap blamed on warm propellant BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: February 14, 2013 Engineers blame the December launch failure of a Proton rocket and Breeze M upper stage on bearing damage from overheated propellant ingested into the Breeze M main engine, according to a statement issued Thursday by International Launch Services.
But the Breeze M stage prematurely shut down in the fourth burn, and investigators traced the cause of the Dec. 8 mishap to bearing damage on the oxidizer side of the Breeze M engine turbopump. ILS said the Breeze M's nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer showed higher than previously recorded propellant temperatures at liftoff and higher than previously recorded thermal soak-back of engine heat, further raising the temperature of the oxidizer. At the start of the Breeze M's third burn about three-and-a-half hours after liftoff, a large volume of oxidizer gas accumulated near the inlet to the main engine, exceeding the engine's design specifications, according to ILS. The higher than expected temperatures caused the oxidizer to evaporate from liquid to gas. "The volume of gas was ingested by the Breeze M turbopump at the start of the third burn, leading to over-speed of the oxidizer turbopump bearing without the cooling normally supplied by liquid oxidizer," the ILS statement said. "The over-speed damaged the bearing, which eventually led to the premature shutdown of the fourth burn." The U.S.-based launch services provider, which is owned by Proton/Breeze M contractor Khrunichev, released more details of the Dec. 8 launch anomaly Thursday. The company issued high-level results of the investigation Tuesday. The Yamal 402 satellite was deployed in the wrong orbit during the Dec. 8 launch, but the spacecraft reached its operational position a few weeks later. Engineers plan no design changes to the Breeze M stage, but officials will improve management of both satellite and Breeze M thermal requirements to ensure adequate margin to prevent future recurrence of this anomaly, according to ILS. ILS announced the next Proton/Breeze M launch is set for March 26, U.S. time, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The flight will launch the Satmex 8 communications satellite for Mexico's top satellite operator. |

About Windows Installer, the .NET Framework, and Visual Studio.
Customers have been offered KB937061 for Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 from Microsoft Update when they have already installed it. The Microsoft Security Response Center blog has more information about the problem and what they have done to fix it.
I wanted to add that because patches are cached according to their package code, you do not have multiple copies installed for each time you successfully installed the patch.
The updated detection logic has been pushed to Microsoft Update, but if you are still being offered KB937061 follow the instructions below.
PingBack from http://msdnrss.thecoderblogs.com/2007/09/14/detection-logic-fixed-for-kb937061-ms07-052/
Thanks, the fix worked! I don't know how many times my computer decided to install the patch! :-)
When will the detection logic for 932471 be fixed?
jmurphy, it already was by the time I posted this. If you're still having problems, follow the steps I posted.
You posted about 937061. I asked about 932471.
Despite following the instructions, 932471 is still being offered, and fails to install every time.
jmurphy, if the patch fails to install it will, of course, be offered again. It will be offered until it gets installed correctly or a superseding patch is offered.
Look in your %TEMP% directory for a sub-directory with the same name as the patch (it will have the KB number in it). Post the verbose logs somewhere (http://folders.live.com work if you don't have any other means) and send me the URL.
Have you read Aaron Stebner's post?
It keeps trying to install a patch on a machine that does not require that patch. This is a known problem that I thought you were aware of, sorry for the confusion.
jmurphy, I do read his blog but many others and don't remember the details. I did review it, but if you have questions about that patch I recommend you reply on his post about the patch in question. I'm not involved with that issue currently.
I keep getting prompted to install this update.
It has downloaded, but fails to install.
It is a constant issue.
Now, I am here at this blog trying to fix it myself.
I saw the 1.2.3 instructions.
Where exactly do I put them?
In run? Command prompt?
I apologize ahead of time for seeming to be "computer dumb".
WTyson, if the patch fails to install it will be offered again. Even after the detection fix on Microsoft Update, the patch will be reoffered until it is installed successfully.
You can generate a verbose log and email me the patch to the file posted online using the email link on this site. See http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2005/10/20/logging-for-the-new-patch-wrapper.aspx for information on logging for the patch.
Just wanted to say that the visual studio 2005 sp1 installer is one of the biggest shame for microsoft. I had to install it on several machines with different specs and all of them gave me this bloody 1305 error. Seriously, you are not an open source developer, microsoft pays you, probably some good money, what is your excuse then?
This worked perfectly for me - awesome. I can now sleep at night...lol
Hi Heath.
We are trying to use WSUS to deploy this update and it appears KB937060 is being detected as needed as opposed to KB937061(SP1). I came to this conclusion as if I run the updates manually, the KB937060 update tells me that the product is required and KB937061 installs correctly. Is this issue going to be addressed? How does the update tell whether SP1 is installed or not? A reg key or ....?
Jai, the patch targets SP1 based on the ProductVersion of the product. VS 2005 RTM has the ProductVersion in the MSI of 8.0.50727 while SP1 changes it to 8.0.50728. You must have SP1 to install SP1-level patches. There are no reg hacks that change that. If you need a fix for RTM and don't want to take SP1 yet, you need to contact Microsoft Customer Support Services and request an N-1 hotfix for the same issue.
Well we have packaged SP1 with VS2005 so it may be a packaging issue, however according to automatic updates 937060 is being detected where 937061 should be. This will then fail to install with:
"Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers - ENU - Update '{78DD9A0A-4AE1-46D0-B9A6-578EFCA47A3C}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Additional information is available in the log file C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\MSI3199b.LOG"
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer an
d that you have the correct upgrade patch."
If I run the 937061 update manually (dld from the MS site) then it installs fine, however 937060 is still being detected as needed and subsequently fails with the same error as above. I've cleared the softwareDistribution folder and done a redetect and it's still getting evaluated as needed. Can you tell me what it looks for to determine if an update is needed?

Have a symptom?
See what questions
a doctor would ask.
See what questions
a doctor would ask.
Overweight and obesity are linked to:
Heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Heart disease includes heart attack, heart failure, and angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart).
Stroke. A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack." Most strokes are caused by a blood clot blocking an artery that takes blood to the brain.
Diabetes. Overweight people are twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes as people who are not overweight. Type 2 diabetes reduces your body's ability to control your blood sugar. It is a major cause of early death, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, and blindness. If you have type 2 diabetes, losing weight and being more physically active can help control your blood sugar levels. You may also be able to reduce the amount of medicine that you need.
Cancer of the gallbladder, breast, uterus, cervix, and ovaries (for women). Overweight men are at greater risk for developing cancer of the colon, rectum, and prostate.
Gallstones or gallbladder disease. Gallbladder disease and gallstones are more common if you are overweight. Your risk of disease increases as your weight increases. But weight loss itself, particularly rapid weight loss or loss of a large amount of weight, can actually increase your chances of getting gallstones. Modest, slow weight loss of about 1 pound a week is less likely to cause gallstones.
Osteoarthritis (wearing away of the joints). Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder that most often affects the joints in your knees, hips, and lower back. Extra weight puts extra pressure on these joints and wears away the cartilage (tissue that cushions the joints) that normally protects them. Weight loss may improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Gout (joint pain caused by excess uric acid). Gout is a joint disease caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid sometimes forms crystals that are deposited in the joints. Gout is more common in overweight people. If you have a history of gout, check with your doctor before trying to lose weight. Some diets may lead to an attack of gout in people who have high levels of uric acid or who have had gout before.
Breathing problems, including sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep). Sleep apnea is a serious condition that can cause a person to stop breathing for short periods during sleep and to snore heavily. Sleep apnea may cause daytime sleepiness and even heart failure. The risk for sleep apnea increases with higher body weights. Weight loss usually improves sleep apnea.
High blood cholesterol. High levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") and triglycerides (another type of fat in the blood) can lead to heart disease. Obesity is also linked to low levels of HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol"). Weight loss can improve your cholesterol levels.
High blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Obese adults are twice as likely to have high blood pressure as those who are at a healthy weight. Weight loss can lower your blood pressure.
Complications of pregnancy. Obesity increases the risks of high blood pressure and a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. Obese women are more likely to have problems with labor and delivery.
Irregular menstrual cycles and infertility. Abdominal obesity is linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, a cause of infertility in women.
Psychological and social effects, such as depression and discrimination. One of the most painful aspects of obesity may be the emotional suffering it causes. American society places great emphasis on physical appearance, often equating attractiveness with slimness, especially in women. The messages, intended or not, make overweight people feel unattractive. Obese people often face prejudice or discrimination at work, at school, while looking for a job, and in social situations. Feelings of rejection, shame, or depression are common.
Obesity may increase the risk of developing kidney cancer. In several studies, obesity has been associated with increased risk in women. One report suggests that being overweight may be a risk factor for men, too. The reasons for this possible link are not clear. (Source: excerpt from What You Need To Know About Kidney Cancer: NCI)
The list of conditions mentioned by various sources as associated with Overweight includes:
Another type of associated condition is one for which Overweight is itself a risk factor. The conditions for which Overweight is listed as a risk factor includes:
Associated conditions are those which appear
statistically related, but do not have
a clear cause or effect relationship.
Whereas the complications
are caused by Overweight,
and underlying causes
may be causes of Overweight,
the following list shows associated conditions
that simply appear with higher frequency in people
who have Overweight.
In some cases, there may be overlap
between this list and risk factors
for Overweight.
People with Overweight may be more likely to
get a condition on the list of associated conditions,
or the reverse may be true, or both.
Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply
coincidentally related to Overweight
is not always clear.

You might try adding a tablespoon of powdered instant chicken soup broth, or a boullion cube, to the cooking water. Or a few tablespoons of chopped parsley. Or (my favorite) a tablespoon of curry powder.

I can't stop looking.... lol!
Love the glitter combo and then of course...the mattifying. They all work really well together :-)
There's never too much glitter. Love the combination. :)
Yay, it looks like a party on your nails :D Fantastic..
That's a lot of bling bling, love it!! :D
Amazing! I love glitter :)
Oooh, sparkly! Look absolutely stunning matte. Good luck removing it ;)
oooh very pretty, such a great glitter x
Ooh I love it! I love matte glitter!
The colors look really pretty together!
Like big flackes, and mani too! :))
I love it matte . I think it shows off more of the sparkle.
That is going to be a PITA to remove, but soooo worth it!x
i love love love the matte. that's genius.
I love this with the red glitter, that's an amazing combo!!!
Amazing! I love the multi-color glitter, and the top coats makes such a cool effect :D
Thank you guys for your comments, you're the best!! Indeed a PITA to remove, but oh so worth it, hahah
Gorgeous! I love layering, especially when it's mattefied.
You can try putting cotton buds with nail remover on each nail and wrap them with aluminium foil. Leave it for around 5-10 minutes and the polishes will automatically drop off! I really love your designs! Great inspiration for my nail arts too ^^

Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (including ultraviolet rays from the sun, radiation, cigarette smoke, and air pollution) also give rise to these damaging particles.

This year at PAX East, Wizards of the Coast sponsored the second Dungeon Master's Challenge. Dungeon masters were to come to PAX East prepared to run a level 8 adventure for a group of unknown players. Last year, the venerable Dave "the Game" Chalker won the competition. This year, the championship went to Matthew Brenner.
The following adventure, Gravemyst, was my entry and, while I didn't win, it is still an adventure of which I am proud. While preparing for the competition, I decided to make it "publishable" by designing it and formatting it like any other adventure you might get from DDI or another source.

In this paper we describe a generic library of problem-solving methods (PSMs) for scheduling applications. Although, some attempts have been made in the past at developing libraries of scheduling methods, these only provide limited coverage: in some cases they are specific to a particular scheduling domain; in other cases they simply implement a particular scheduling technique; in other cases they fail to provide the required degree of depth and precision. Our library is based on a structured approach, whereby we first develop a scheduling task ontology, and then construct a task-specific but domain independent model of scheduling problem-solving, which generalises from specific approaches to scheduling problem-solving. Different PSMs are then constructed uniformly by specialising the generic model of scheduling problem-solving. Our library has been evaluated on a number of real-life and benchmark applications to demonstrate its generic and comprehensive nature.

contact pressure - Search Results
Articles About contact pressure
Articles are sorted by RELEVANCE. Sort by Date.
1 Influence of Geometrical Parameters on the Gear Scuffing Criterion - Part I (March/April 1987)
The load capacity rating of gears had its beginning in the 18th century at Leiden University when Prof. Pieter van Musschenbroek systematically tested the wooden teeth of windmill gears, applying the bending strength formula published by Galilei one century earlier. In the next centuries several scientists improved or extended the formula, and recently a Draft International Standard could be presented.
2 Relationship Between Wear and Pitting Phenomena in Worm Gears (May/June 1998)
Worm gears display unique behavior of surfaces because of the presence of wear phenomena in addition to contact pressure phenomena.
3 Effect of Extended Tooth Contact on the Modeling of Spur Gear Transmissions (July/August 1994)
In some gear dynamic models, the effect of tooth flexibility is ignored when the model determines which pairs of teeth are in contact. Deflection of loaded teeth is not introduced until the equations of motion are solved. This means the zone of tooth contact and average tooth meshing stiffness are underestimated, and the individual tooth load is overstated, especially for heavily loaded gears. This article compares the static transmission error and dynamic load of heavily loaded, low-contact-ratio spur gears when the effect of tooth flexibility has been considered and when it has been ignored. Neglecting the effect yields an underestimate of resonance speeds and an overestimate of the dynamic load.
4 The Next Step in Bevel Gear Metrology (January/February 1996)
In recent years, gear inspection requirements have changed considerably, but inspection methods have barely kept pace. The gap is especially noticeable in bevel gears, whose geometry has always made testing them a complicated, expensive and time-consuming process. Present roll test methods for determining flank form and quality of gear sets are hardly applicable to bevel gears at all, and the time, expense and sophistication required for coordinate measurement has limited its use to gear development, with only sampling occurring during production.
5 Influence of Gear Design on Gearbox Radiated Noise (January/February 1998)
A major source of helicopter cabin noise (which has been measured at over 100 decibels sound pressure level) is the gearbox. Reduction of this noise is a NASA and U.S. Army goal. A requirement for the Army/NASA Advanced Rotorcraft Transmission project was a 10 dB noise reduction compared to current designs.
6 Generation of Helical Gears with New Surface Topology by Application of CNC Machines (January/February 1994)
Analysis of helical involute gears by tooth contact analysis shows that such gears are very sensitive to angular misalignment leading to edge contact and the potential for high vibration. A new topology of tooth surfaces of helical gears that enables a favorable bearing contact and a reduced level of vibration is described. Methods for grinding helical gears with the new topology are proposed. A TCA program simulating the meshing and contact of helical gears with the new topology has been developed. Numerical examples that illustrate the proposed ideas are discussed.
7 Tooth Contact Shift in Loaded Spiral Bevel Gears (November/December 1992)
An analytical method is presented to predict the shifts of the contact ellipses on spiral bevel gear teeth under load. The contact ellipse shift is the motion of the point to its location under load. The shifts are due to the elastic motions of the gear and pinion supporting shafts and bearings. The calculations include the elastic deflections of the gear shafts and the deflections of the four shaft bearings. The method assumes that the surface curvature of each tooth is constant near the unloaded pitch point. Results from these calculations will help designers reduce transmission weight without seriously reducing transmission performance.
8 Surface Pitting Fatigue Life of Noninvolute Low-Contact-Ratio Gears (May/June 1991)
Spur gear endurance tests were conducted to investigate the surface pitting fatigue life of noninvolute gears with low numbers of teeth and low contact ratios for the use in advanced application. The results were compared with those for a standard involute design with a low number of teeth. The gear pitch diameter was 8.89 cm (3.50 in.) with 12 teeth on both gear designs. Test conditions were an oil inlet temperature of 320 K (116 degrees F), a maximum Hertz stress of 1.49 GPa (216 ksi), and a speed of 10,000 rpm. The following results were obtained: The noninvolute gear had a surface pitting fatigue life approximately 1.6 times that of the standard involute gear of a similar design. The surface pitting fatigue life of the 3.43-pitch AISI 8620 noninvolute gear was approximately equal to the surface pitting fatigue life of an 8-pitch, 28-tooth AISI 9310 gear at the same load, but at a considerably higher maximum Hertz stress.
9 Refurbishing a Ball Mill ; Bevel Gear Backlash (September 2012)
Our experts comment on reverse engineering herringbone gears and contact pattern optimization.
10 Contact Analysis of Gears Using a Combined Finite Element and Surface Integral Method (July/August 1993)
The complete and accurate solution t the contact problem of three-dimensional gears has been, for the past several decades, one of the more sought after, albeit elusive goals in the engineering community. Even the arrival on the scene in the mid-seventies of finite element techniques failed to produce the solution to any but the most simple gear contact problems.
11 Pitting Resistance of Worm Gears: Advanced Model for Contact Pattern of Any Size, Position, Flank Type (October 2012)
An experimental and theoretical analysis of worm gear sets with contact patterns of differing sizes, position and flank type for new approaches to calculation of pitting resistance.
12 Low Pressure Carburizing with High Pressure Gas Quenching (March/April 2004)
High demands for cost-effectiveness and improved product quality can be achieved via a new low pressure carburizing process with high pressure gas quenching. Up to 50% of the heat treatment time can be saved. Furthermore, the distortion of the gear parts could be reduced because of gas quenching, and grinding costs could be saved. This article gives an overview of the principles of the process technology and the required furnace technology. Also, some examples of practical applications are presented.
13 Low-Distortion Heat Treatment of Transmission Components (October 2011)
This paper presents how low pressure carburizing and high pressure gas quenching processes are successfully applied on internal ring gears for a six-speed automatic transmission. The specific challenge in the heat treat process was to reduce distortion in such a way that subsequent machining operations are entirely eliminated.
14 Operating Pressure Angle (May 2013)
What is the difference between pressure angle and operating pressure angle?
15 Low Pressure Carburizing of Large Transmission Parts (September/October 2009)
Often, the required hardness qualities of parts manufactured from steel can only be obtained through suitable heat treatment. In transmission manufacturing, the case hardening process is commonly used to produce parts with a hard and wear-resistant surface and an adequate toughness in the core. A tremendous potential for rationalization, which is only partially used, becomes available if the treatment time of the case hardening process is reduced. Low pressure carburizing (LPC) offers a reduction of treatment time in comparison to conventional gas carburizing because of the high carbon mass flow inherent to the process (Ref. 1).
16 Importance of Contact Pattern in Assembly of Bevel vs Cylindrical Gears (August 2014)
Why is there so much emphasis on the tooth contact pattern for bevel gears in the assembled condition and not so for cylindrical gears, etc?
17 Worn Gear Contact Analysis (June/July 2013)
How does one perform a contact analysis for worn gears? Our expert responds.
18 How to Design and Install Bevel Gears for Optimum Performance - Lessons Learned (June/July 2013)
Bevel gears must be assembled in a specific way to ensure smooth running and optimum load distribution between gears. While it is certainly true that the "setting" or "laying out" of a pair of bevel gears is more complicated than laying out a pair of spur gears, it is also true that following the correct procedure can make the task much easier. You cannot install bevel gears in the same manner as spur and helical gears and expect them to behave and perform as well; to optimize the performance of any two bevel gears, the gears must be positioned together so that they run smoothly without binding and/or excessive backlash.
19 Transmission Errors and Bearing Contact of Spur, Helical, and Spiral Bevel Gears (July/August 1990)
An investigation of transmission errors and bearing contact of spur, helical, and spiral bevel gears was performed. Modified tooth surfaces for these gears have been proposed in order to absorb linear transmission errors caused by gear misalignment and to localize the bearing contact. Numerical examples for spur, helical, and spiral bevel gears are presented to illustrate the behavior of the modified gear surfaces with respect to misalignment and errors of assembly. The numerical results indicate that the modified surfaces will perform with a low level of transmission error in non-ideal operating environments.
20 Tooth Root Stresses of Spiral Bevel Gears (May/June 1988)
Service performance and load carrying capacity of bevel gears strongly depend on the size and position of the contact pattern. To provide an optimal contact pattern even under load, the gear design has to consider the relative displacements caused by deflections or thermal expansions expected under service conditions. That means that more or less lengthwise and heightwise crowning has to be applied on the bevel gear teeth.
21 Analyzing Gear Tooth Stress as a Function of Tooth Contact Pattern Shape and Position (January/February 1985)
The development of a new gear strength computer program based upon the finite element method, provides a better way to calculate stresses in bevel and hypoid gear teeth. The program incorporates tooth surface geometry and axle deflection data to establish a direct relationship between fillet bending stress, subsurface shear stress, and applied gear torque. Using existing software links to other gear analysis programs allows the gear engineer to evaluate the strength performance of existing and new gear designs as a function of tooth contact pattern shape, position and axle deflection characteristics. This approach provides a better understanding of how gears react under load to subtle changes in the appearance of the no load tooth contact pattern.
22 A Further Study on High-Contact-Ratio Spur Gears in Mesh with Double-Scope Tooth Profile Modification (November/December 2008)
This paper will demonstrate that, unlike commonly used low-contact-ratio spur gears, high-contact-ratio spur gears can provide higher power-to-weight ratio, and can also achieve smoother running with lower transmission error (TE) variations.
23 Effects on Rolling Contact Fatigue Performance--Part II (March/April 2007)
This is part II of a two-part paper that presents the results of extensive test programs on the RCF strength of PM steels.
24 The Effect of Manufaturing Microgeometry Variations on the Load Distribution Factor and on Gear Contact and Root Stresses (July 2009)
Traditionally, gear rating procedures consider manufacturing accuracy in the application of the dynamic factor, but only indirectly through the load distribution are such errors in the calculation of stresses used in the durability and gear strength equations. This paper discusses how accuracy affects the calculation of stresses and then uses both statistical design of experiments and Monte Carlo simulation techniques to quantify the effects of different manufacturing and assembly errors on root and contact stresses.
25 Longitudinal Tooth Contact Pattern Shift (May 2012)
After a period of operation, high-speed turbo gears may exhibit a change in longitudinal tooth contact pattern, reducing full face width contact and thereby increasing risk of tooth distress due to the decreased loaded area of the teeth. But this can be trickythe phenomenon may or may not occur. Or, in some units the shift is more severe than others, with documented cases in which shifting occurred after as little as 16,000 hours of operation. In other cases, there is no evidence of any change for units in operation for more than 170,000 hours. This condition exists primarily in helical gears. All recorded observations here have been with case-carburized and ground gear sets. This presentation describes phenomena observed in a limited sampling of the countless high-speed gear units in field operation. While the authors found no existing literature describing this behavior, further investigation suggests a possible cause. Left unchecked and without corrective action, this occurrence may result in tooth breakage.
26 Effects of Axle Deflection and Tooth Flank Modification on Hypoid Gear Stress Distribution and Contact Fatigue Life (August 2009)
As is well known in involute gearing, perfect involute gears never work perfectly in the real world. Flank modifications are often made to overcome the influences of errors coming from manufacturing and assembly processes as well as deflections of the system. The same discipline applies to hypoid gears.
27 Influence of Relative Displacements Between Pinion and Gear on Tooth Root Stresses of Spiral Bevel Gears (July/August 1985)
The manufacturing quality of spiral bevel gears has achieved a very high standard. Nevertheless, the understanding of the real stress conditions and the influences. of certain parameters is not satisfactory.
28 Effects on Rolling Contact Fatigue Performance (January/February 2007)
This article summarizes results of research programs on RCF strength of wrought steels and PM steels.
29 Allowable Contact Stresses in Jacking Gear Units Used in the Offshore Industry (May 2010)
An offshore jack-up drilling rig is a barge upon which a drilling platform is placed. The barge has legs that can be lowered to the sea floor to support the rig. Then the barge can be jacked up out of the water, providing a stable work platform from which to drill for oil and gas. Jack-up drilling rigs were first introduced in the late 1950s. Rack-and- pinion-type jack-up units were introduced soon after that and have dominated the industry ever since.
30 Analysis and Testing of Gears with Asymmetric Involute Tooth Form and Optimized Fillet Form for Potential Application in Helicopter Main Drives (June/July 2011)
Gears with an asymmetric involute gear tooth form were analyzed to determine their bending and contact stresses relative to symmetric involute gear tooth designs, which are representative of helicopter main-drive gears.
31 Drive Line Analysis for Tooth Contact Optimization of High-Power Spiral Bevel Gears (June/July 2011)
In the majority of spiral bevel gears, spherical crowning is used. The contact pattern is set to the center of the active tooth flank and the extent of the crowning is determined by experience. Feedback from service, as well as from full-torque bench tests of complete gear drives, has shown that this conventional design practice leads to loaded contact patterns, which are rarely optimal in location and extent. Oversized reliefs lead to small contact area, increased stresses and noise, whereas undersized reliefs result in an overly sensitive tooth contact.
32 Endurance Limit for Contact Stress in Gears (October/November 1984)
With the publishing of various ISO draft standards relating to gear rating procedures, there has been much discussion in technical papers concerning the various load modification factors. One of the most basic of parameters affecting the rating of gears, namely the endurance limit for either contact or bending stress, has not, however, attracted a great deal of attention.
33 Spiral Bevel Gears: Tribology Aspects in Angular Transmission Systems, Part IV (January/February 2011)
This article is part four of an eight-part series on the tribology aspects of angular gear drives. Each article will be presented first and exclusively by Gear Technology, but the entire series will be included in Dr. Stadtfelds upcoming book on the subject, which is scheduled for release in 2011.
34 KISSsoft Introduces New Features with Latest Release (September/October 2010)
Tooth contact under load is an important verification of the real contact conditions of a gear pair and an important add-on to the strength calculation according to standards such as ISO, AGMA or DIN. The contact analysis simulates the meshing of the two flanks over the complete meshing cycle and is therefore able to consider individual modifications on the flank at each meshing position.
35 Load Sharing Analysis of High-Contact-Ratio Spur Gears in Military Tracked Vehicle Applications (July 2010)
This paper deals with analysis of the load sharing percentage between teeth in mesh for different load conditions throughout the profile for both sun and planet gears of normal and HCR gearingusing finite element analysis. (FEA).
36 Crowning Techniques in Aerospace Actuation Gearing (August 2010)
One of the most effective methods in solving the edge loading problem due to excess misalignment and deflection in aerospace actuation gearing is to localize tooth-bearing contact by crowning the teeth. Irrespective of the applied load, if the misalignment and/or deflection are large enough to cause the contact area to reduce to zero, the stress becomes large enough to cause failure. The edge loading could cause the teeth to break or pit, but too much crowning may also cause the teeth to pit due to concentrated loading. In this paper, a proposed method to localize the contact bearing area and calculate the contact stress with crowning is presented and demonstrated on some real-life examples in aerospace actuation systems.
37 Bevel Gear Development and Testing Procedure (July/August 1986)
The most conclusive test of bevel and hypoid gears is their operation under normal running conditions in their final mountings. Testing not only maintains quality and uniformity during manufacture, but also determines if the gears will be satisfactory for their intended applications.

Re: High Priced "Marine" Thermostats
It is hard to believe the $100 price tag on this thermostat. Seems like the life expectancy is 2 seasons and the price keeps going up. I have found possibly two solutions to further research as a way around paying big bucks for what should be a $10 item. One is a complete replacement of the thermostat and housing. See Indigo Electronics 800-428-8569, web: atomic4.com Cost $150 but the replacement thermostat is a NAPA part. The second is a thermostat made by Mallory Marine - looking a lot like the 5411 thermostat but selling for around $25. Part number 9-43024. Am trying to obtain the dimensions or find a dealer with the Mallory part in stock to compare. If anyone gets there first, let me know.

Hongshao Rou | |
Category | Pork recipes |
Servings | 4 Servings |
Time | prep: ~15 minutes cooking: 1 hour |
Difficulty |
Hongshao Rou (lit. red-cooked meat) is a traditional Chinese pork dish. It is a very popular homemade dish, but it is rarely found in Western restaurants. Often a family's exact recipe is a secret and passed down the generations. It consists of pork belly in a thick, sweet, dark sauce, simmered for a long time to soften the normally tough meat. Frequently other meats such as tripe or beef tendon are used in addition to the pork.
- 700g pork belly, cubed
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 350 ml pork or chicken stock
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 50 ml Shaoxing rice wine
- 3 star anise
- 4 small spring onions, sliced
- In a medium saucepan, over high heat, heat the oil and sugar together until the sugar melts and turns brown.
- Add the cubed pork to the sugar and oil and brown all over.
- Reduce the heat, add the stock, ginger, star anise, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine to the pan.
- Cover tightly and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it burning at the bottom.
- Remove the lid and add the spring onions.
- Boil the sauce off until only a thick, dark gravy is left.
- The dish may be served now, but if possible, refrigerate for a day to allow the flavours to develop.
- Serve with rice, garnish with sliced spring onion.
- Add 500g sliced tripe. If the tripe was frozen, boil vigorously for about 40 mins until tender and not chewy. If fresh tripe is used (highly recommended) this is not required. Add to the pan about halfway through the simmering.
- Add 250g beef tendon, cut into small cubes. Boil vigorously for about 40 mins until translucent and not too chewy. Add this to the pan about halfway through the simmering.

PDSA Animal Wellbeing Report
Millions of pets' needs are being neglected…
Since the first Report in 2011, we've spoken to over 20,000 pet owners, vets, vet nurses and children and discovered that awareness of how best to care for our cats, dogs and rabbits is at an all-time low..
The Animal Welfare Act 2006 introduced a "duty of care" for all pet owners to meet the welfare needs of their pets. Until the launch of the PAW Report there was no overarching means of identifying, assessing, monitoring and improving the wellbeing of companion animals. The PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report has been the first step towards this and is the largest survey of its kind in conjunction with leading research agency YouGov.
PDSA has found that the health and welfare needs of over ten million cats, dogs and rabbits across the UK are not being properly met. Whilst there have been some changes in recent years across all aspects of pet wellbeing such as better diets for rabbits and increasing levels of preventive care, the state of our pet nation's health and wellbeing could still be greatly improved.
As the UK's leading veterinary charity, we simply cannot ignore this and want to do all we can to improve the physical health and mental wellbeing of pets.
