Yamaha releases details on first sled of 2013
February 10, 2012
Filed under News, Top Stories
Yamaha released details this week on the first snowmobile of its 2013 lineup, the FX Nytro XTX 1.75.
The sled is a crossover model, designed for those riding in the backcountry more than on groomed trails. It's similar to past Nytro XTX machines except that with its new 15-by-144-by-175-inch Camoplast Backcountry Track, it's more capable of playing in deep snow. The rear suspension rails have been tipped up to reduce the sled's wheelbase, and Extrovert drivers and an auxiliary side-mount heat exchanger keep the engine cool.
The 2013 FX Nytro XTX 1.75 will be available in blue, or black and charcoal with blacked out front suspension. Pricing is not yet available.

Date of Stay: September, 2005
A very popular campground, I don't know why no one has ever done a review on it. This was our first time there and we loved it! They have a beautiful stocked lake for fishing, bumper boats, miniture golf, nightly movies, wagon rides, activities, so-so store, snack bar, awesome playground and pool. All this and it is along the Susquehanna River. Most of the roads are paved for easy bike riding. They do have golf carts and bike rentals there too. The reason I gave this campground a 9 and not a 10 was due to you had to pay to fish in the lake. I think that is crazy! But we did cause we love to go throw a line in. Our campsite was a great size with plenty of room for our little ones to run around and play. Concrete pad and gravel. Although I could of done without the huge movie screen behind our camper that played way too scary movies both nights from 8 to 10pm. Next time I will request a different area. According to their activity list, there was only suppose to be a movie Friday night and that we could put up with, but some campers requested a movie Saturday night and management agreed. So I guess most folks didn't mind it but it was annoying not to have a quiet campfire for 2 nights. But everything else in this campground was spectacular for us! We definitely return in the summer to use the pool!
Date of Stay: June, 2005
This is a very nice and big campground. It is hard to get around by just walking. We rented a golf cart because of the gravel it was difficult to ride bikes. We had a site in the "new" section up the hill next to the new water slide. It was a decent size site. The best thing about it was the awesome neighbors! There was planned activities and a well stocked store. The "heated" pools were beautiful but still not warm enough for the chilly day. We will definitely return.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
We love this campground! It is part of a resort so there are cabins, townhouses, and hotel as well as RV sites. It is a big place situated on Lake Iszac which has excellent fishing. A new marina will be opening May 23rd. You can rent boats. The RV sites are far from the rest of the resort so you would have to drive. There is an awesome outdoor pool, as well as an indoor pool with a huge hot tub. If you don't feel like cooking there is a restaurant, and grill/bar on site. There is also horse back riding, planned activities, playground, and miniture golf. The hotel lodge is nice to have for friends that don't have an RV to join you. We have stayed in both the cabins, hotel and RV sites. We will definitely return!

VIDEO: BMW X6 M Laps Road Atlanta
On Tuesday, Ray told us the BMW X6 M defies its weight and size by performing like the last generation M3. Just in case you didn't believe him, here's video proof.
BMW X6 M: First Drive
Despite the enormous size and weight, the BMW X6 M is just as fast around the Nurburgring as the last BMW M3. But why did BMW's M division build the world's sportiest crossover?
BMW X6 M Paces Laguna Seca MotoGP Race
BMW supplied one of its new X6 M's for the MotoGP race at Leguna Seca over the weekend, further attempting to brand the segment-blurring tire-shredding-crossover-wagon-hatchback as a racy option for the confused and monied. So how'd it perform?
BMW X5 M, X6 M Pricing Starts At $86,225, $89,725
The staggering performance of the BMW X5 M and X6 M has been priced at the staggering price of $86,225 and 89,725 respectively. Making 555 HP soft-roaders go around corners ain't cheap.
BMW X6 M: Popping The Top On The Mighty 555 HP Engine
No one was guarding the BMW X6 M this morning, so we hopped the barrier and snagged shots of its twin-turbo V8. That and the 180 MPH speedometer... in a 5,247 Lb SUV.
BMW X6 M: First Photos!
Looks like the embargo walls on the BMW X6 M, set to debut next week at the New York Auto Show, are slowly breaking. Here's the first set of low-resolution photos of the new super-soft-roader.

BMW X5 M, X6 M Minisite Source Code Reveals 550 HP Twin Scroll Details
It's possible BMW may not have hired the most clever web designers for the BMW X6 M website as the source code contains some rather telling tags, like "550 HP" and "Twin Scroll Twin Turbo."

What about surprising her with a candle lit dinner the same night as the reservations? She could come home after a long day and you could have everything all set up. You could cook her favorite food, and maybe get one of those massage cushions like this one. They sell them at retail stores like Bed Bath and Beyond and Linen and Things. Or maybe a foot bath like this. Or both!
Or you could prepare a candle lit bath for her, and get dinner ready while she relaxes in the bath. you could have a dress picked out for her to wear. Just tell her that you are sorry that you had been pressuring her about going out to dinner, and that you felt bad about being insensitive to how much work/stress she had been under, so you wanted to do something nice for her, even if the two of you couldn''t go out. Just a thought Good luck with whatever you decide! |
Oh no! I''m sure that ring is burning a hole in your pocket! However, I''m glad you chose to not push her to go! I''m always happiest when engagement stories don''t start off with "I was in such a bad mood..." I''m sure your upcoming trip would be a great time to propose, but if she''s expecting it have you thought about doing it soon after you come back so it''s a real shocker?
This is a fourth vote for the trip! I also have a high-demand job and am often frustrated when my SO interrupts my work to try to do something sweet. I still appreciate it, but I just can't get as into it as when I have the free time. Plus, the proposal on the trip would be way more meaningful to me. You can get a fancy dinner any day of the week, but you will have some experiences on your vacation that can never be replicated.
ETA: The proposal itself makes it special, even if she is still expecting it. For instance, I have a strong suspicion that my SO will propose when we are in Europe next month (we bought the ring a couple months ago). However, even though I expect it is coming, I still don't know where or how and that will be plenty enough, at least for me, to make it feel special. |
jcarlylew: Yes, no point in being frustrated. This is supposed to be one of the best moments in our lives.
trillionaire: Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of getting her all nice and relaxed. Nuix: Yes, it is definitely burning a hole! I want to wait for the perfect time though. I am not sure I could make it through the trip without asking though. katamari: I understand the pressures that work can have. I actually had a lot more planned for the proposal and a nice dinner was just going to be the "dessert" in the whole scenario. Good luck with your trip to Europe. I love it there and it would be a perfect place to get engaged. |
I thought I had everything worked out perfectly but now that things are changed I am torn between a few possibilities.
So I have been thinking that I might kind of combine the trip and my previous ideas into a proposal. My 3 similar ideas are as follows: 1. I will do most of the things I was planning before only do them the day before our trip. That way I can set everything up and have a big surprise and then have our first vacation as an engaged couple, a sort of engagement celebration trip. The issues that could arise with this idea are that she may not be in the best mood after a long day of work and may have problems with knowing exactly when she can come home. 2. I will do all of the things I was planning the night before our trip but wait to propose the morning of the trip. This way the special evening would give her a chance to relax and get in the mood of the vacation and then be totally surprised when she wakes up. Mornings are special to us as well so that is a plus. The issues that could arise with this idea are that we will be leaving kind of early for the airport so I don''t want to run into problems with not having enough time. 3. Do the proposal while on vacation. This would be great because it would be a special place and she would have all the time and hopefully be relaxed. The issues with this idea are that while it would be an exciting new place it wouldn''t have the sentimentality of the places around home, i would have less control over finding a great place and planning the entire scenario, and it wouldn''t be as much of a surprise. They all have positives and potential negatives. Asking in a different place would be very special and something to remember but it isn''t a typical situation. I really like the idea of asking in a situation that is "normal us". By that I mean doing something that we love to do together everyday. The essence of our relationship. I don''t know if this would get lost in the vacation proposal. Ahh, so much to think about! |
Try not to overthink things. The trip is a good idea but you know her better than us in terms of what she would like. Just dont try to build it up to much because it hardly ever goes 100% to plan but thats what makes things unique and special.
if it were me, i would ask on the first day of your trip. this way she can be relaxed and u can spend the rest of the trip celebrating. |

Two Tigers killed - SLA[TamilNet, Saturday, 03 January 1998, 23:59 GMT]The Sri Lankan army claimed that they had surprised and killed two armed operatives of the Liberation Tigers this morning around 10 a.m. while they were sleeping in a safe house in Madduvil, about eleven kilometers northeast of Jaffna town.

Agencies lag in native advertising
4 November 2013
LONDON: Most agencies believe that native advertising adds value for their clients but few are actually offering it as a service and are ceding that territory to publishers and brand marketers, a new survey has claimed.
State of Native Advertising 2014
report from Hexagram, the native advertising exchange, and Spada, the PR consultancy, was based on a survey of more than 1,000 respondents drawn from across the publishing, advertising, marketing and PR industries.
It found that while 84% of agencies thought native advertising was a valuable service for clients only 34% offered it themselves.
In contrast, 62% of publishers surveyed were already offering native advertising while 41% of brands were engaged in this activity with two thirds creating the content themselves.
The report suggested that agencies not offering a native advertising service were missing out on "significant opportunities to acquire powerful and high-quality inventory". But it also noted that this situation was being recognised and addressed as 20% of brands and 12% of agencies currently not engaging in native campaigns were planning to start using it within the year.
Publishers meanwhile were planning to push on further with another 16% planning to offer the facility in the coming year, a period during which the sector expected native advertising's share of their revenues to rise from 20% to 30%.
Chris Ingham Brooke, founder & CEO of Hexagram, noted that brands were comfortable generating content and managing native ads internally and said this presented a challenge to agencies.
"Agencies need to envisage how they can add maximum value for their clients' campaigns, and in turn establish their most viable business model as this multi-billion dollar marketplace becomes fully liquid," he said.
He added that it was also important that all parties involved – brands, agencies, regulators, the ad tech community – worked to establish best practice regarding the labelling of sponsored content and other forms of native advertising.
Some 79% of publishers were already clearly labelling native advertising campaigns to distinguish them from editorial content. As a result, the majority of publishers (82%) and brands (71%) surveyed had not received complaints as a result of native advertising campaigns, but that still left a minority of complaints that had the potential to damage the reputation of the technique.

Please post back with the following information.
1. What version of Firefox do you currently have installed. (open firefox, then click on Help, then About Mozilla Firefox). If you have changed from the version you were using when you made the screen shot in your earlier post, please post another screen shot with the current version, then don't change that until the problem is resolved.
2. With all browsers closed, click on Start, Click on Search, in the "All or part of the filename:" box type in Hostperm.1
In the "Look in:" box use the pull down to select "Local Disk (C
Under More advanced options tick the boxes for "Search system Folders", also the box for "Search hidden files and folders" and also the box for "Search subfolders"
Now click on search. Let it run until the search has completed, then copy accurately the full path shown for every Hostperm.1 shown. A typical path would be C:\Documents and Settings\giovanni\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ly4nqznc.default
3. Repeat 2 above but using the filename permissions.sqlite
4. Post the above information. Please do not block out or change the user names (where "giovanni is shown in the typical path above). Post the exact path details as otherwise it will be difficult if not impractical to provide you with the next steps
5. Please post exactly how many different log on accounts are being used at present, and whether there have been any other accounts in use.

Thanks for your procedure.
Meanwhile I upgraded from 2.019; I'm using Mozilla 3.05 now but the issues are exactly the same.

Unfortunately that is not quite the case, and BTW, despite my earlier ask that you provide the exact paths, you appear to have played with the screen print showing these. That, on top of the screen shot not being clear enough on my monitor to be sure of some of the characters in the paths, means you will have to interpret the information that follows.
As I see it, you have three browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox and what I believe may be SeaMonkey. As Internet Explorer is immunising OK, let's forget that one.
For each of the other two browsers there should be 4 immunisation items (1 for Cookies, 1 for images, 1 for Installations and 1 for Popups) for each account that the particular browser is used under.
You have two accounts using SeaMonkey, Administrator and Giovani, so there should be 8 immunisation items, and there are, and they are immunising OK. I don't use SeaMonkey so I can't be definite about this but it appears to use Hostperm.1 and so the two Hostperm.1 files for SeaMonkey are I believe at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Dati applicazioni\Mozilla\Profiles\ notte?\cuu2nyn8.slt
C:\Documents and Settings\ giovanni \Dati applicazioni\Mozilla\Profiles\default\plv5m1uq.slt
Now we come to Firefox.
Version 3 by default uses permissions.sqlite, not Hostperm.1, but it will apparently work with Hostperm.1 (with the caution that this may not continue to be so in the future).
At the moment there are three sets of 4 immunisation items for Firefox, suggesting three accounts, and this also applied before you did the update to version 3.
However there are only two Profile paths for Firefox.
One at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Dati applicazioni\Mozilla\Firefox]Profiles\qdsei8dp.default (Hostperm.1)
and one at:
C:\Documents and Settings\ giovanni \Dati applicazioni\Mozilla\Firefox]Profiles\nzw55hyq.default
Note that this latter one contains both a Hostperm.1 presumably from the original V2 installation) and a Permissions.sqlite now from the V3 installation.
Ideally (and with Spybot and all the browsers shut down) you should delete both the Hostperm.1 and permissions.sqlite in this last path, then open the firefox browser using the giovani account. Goto Tools/Options then open the Privacy Tab. In the cookie area click on the exceptions button, then add a site. It's not important what that site is, so for example you could use www.google.com and give it "allow" status. Click on close, OK, then exit Firefox. This will have created a permissions.sqlite file for the giovani account and importantly will also have primed it. You must not restart Spybot until the file has been primed as above.
If you are really going to use Firefox from the main Administrator account, then you need to do exactly the same thing there, i.e. delete the Hostperm.1 file and then regenerate and prime a permissions.sqlite file. Going on line from the main administration account is not safe practice in my opinion.
Now start Spybot. Go to the immunise screen and first undo all immunisations. This may take some time to complete as removal of immunisations from Firefox is fairly slow - be patient. Once the undo has completed, re-immunise. This should be somewhat faster.
OK now we are still left with a problem. What are the extra set of immunisation items for. Spybot thinks there are three accounts using Firefox, but there are only currently two. Was there originally another user, and is Spybot picking up on some old entries from a previous user or installation.
The only way I can see of homing in on this would be to completely uninstall Firefox, and clean out any orphaned references relating to this product. Make sure before you uninstall it you undo the immunisations for Firefox. After the cleanup there should be no Firefox items left on the immunisation screen in Spybot. When you get to that point a new install of Firefox 3 should see the problem solved. It's up to you whether you want to spend the time to do this.
Hope this helps.
I have reproduced carefully the names coherently and they are actually; so it's not important whether I changed the name 'light' into 'notte' as long as I used always 'notte' where there is 'light'.
Also I do not use SeaMonkey at all; what I have is Netscape that's still installed and never gave me an issue when immunizing with Spybot in the past: all of the signatures where fully applied.
About the details of the paths that you could not read on your screen, I do not remember which is the site that allows me to publish the (large) attachments fully on screen directly on this forum for better resolution, as I did on my first post... Any idea, please? thank you.
Last edited by giovanni69; 2008-12-18 at 14:20.
I usually try to crop or my screen shots in photoshop so there is maximum viewing of the relative point, then either save them as .jpg or .gif to reduce the file size. I then attach them directly to the post in the forum.
Others may have a better way.
I could only take a guess from the rather blurred icon in the screen print and the path reference. Arguably my eyesight is not what it used to be, and my guess was Seamonkey, but obviously that wasn't correct. That said, if you replace the word Seamonkey with Netscape in my previous post, it doesn't materially affect the gist of it.
with last update (january 7) i now had again some immunization that dont work

Heat forward Udonis Haslem eyes April return
Posted on: November 30, 2010 1:24 am
Edited on: August 14, 2011 9:06 pm
Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem eyes an April return from foot surgery. Posted by Ben Golliver.
Back on Nov. 21, Miami Heat forward and co-captain Udonis Haslem tore a ligament in his left foot. He underwent surgery two days later and was ruled out for an indefinite period of time, with some reports speculating that the Heat enforcer could miss the entire 2010-2011 NBA season.
The Associated Press reports on Twitter that Haslem said Monday night that there is "no" chance his season is over and that he is looking "more at April than March" for a return to the court. The Heat conclude their regular season on April 13, but an April return would make Haslem available for a playoff run. (Assuming the Heat avoid the lottery.)
Haslem's confidence is good news for the Heat, who badly miss their enforcer. Reserve forward Juwan Howard had to step up on Monday night to defend center Joel Anthony following a nasty flagrant foul by Washington Wizards forward Hilton Armstrong, and the physical tests for Miami's weak front line are surely just beginning.
As badly as Miami misses Haslem's physicality, Haslem misses the rough stuff that has buttered his NBA bread. The Sun-Sentinel reports on Twitter that Haslem said on Monday that he wished he could have been out there during the Heat/Wizards game. "I would have loved to be out there tonight, with all the pushing and shoving," the paper quotes Haslem as saying.

Some rich guys would want nothing more than to do two chicks at once. That's admirable, but it lacks a certain kind of vision. A rich man with real clarity of vision would want to gather around him the finest collection of foot-crazy babes as possible. Picture all of these beautiful babes pushing each other out of the way just for the honor of using their soft soles to coax out the spunky treat waiting for them. The good news at the end of the day? You don't have to have a million bucks to enjoy all of the hedonistic pleasures of an opulent foot-lover; everything you're going to need right here in your hands!

Since each list in RTM has its own feed, you can easily trigger all kinds of actions using the (free) IFTTT (http://ifttt.com) service.Here's an example that I use for being notified by SMS when my wife adds an item to our "need to talk about this" list.1. Create Recipe2. Pick "Feed" as the Trigger.3. Choose "New feed item"4. Paste in the Atom feed URL of your list5. As Action choose "SMS"Voila! You'll now get an SMS each time an item is added to a specific list.Note there are a bazillion different action channels you could pick from instead of SMS, for example auto-creating a Google Calendar appointment, switching on a WeMo light switch, tweeting something, etc...Imagine for example using a smart list with postponed items, and then auto-tweeting "I'm ashamed, I just postponed a task for the 10th time in Remember The Milk." :)(disclaimer: not affiliated with IFTTT, just thought this might be helpful)
Posted at 12:23pm on July 31, 2013
Nice tip! IFTTT is really a great service!Remember to include the random alphanumeric string at the end of the Atom feed when you try this.Using this method and using 3 New feed item matches instead, you could add a specific trigger to your RTM tasks and only get reminders for those tasks

I would have to agree with SD's comment about the boom vang. With regard to a preventer on both our booms at least, we are able to attach a preventer to the end of the boom and then run it forward to a snatch block then aft to the cockpit when needed. I guess it depends on the hardware and configuration at the back end of your boom.
I agree the jiffy or slab setups are more preferable. I can't speak to the in boom systems or in mast systems as I have never owned or sailed that equipment.
Let us know what you decide.

If our roles were reversed and you were telling me your story, I know that together we could find something beautiful that you have already gathered in the course of your fight. I'm also willing to bet that with a few intentional but relatively simple adjustments, you could find yourself with more treasure than your arms could hold or your heart contain, not in spite of your battle, but because of it.
But finding that treasure is a trick sometimes. It can be difficult because so often we invest so much energy in surviving a battle that there's little left for discovering what wonderful things might have happened inside of us in the process.
Let's look for treasure. Let's sift through the soil of the battleground to discover the gold that glistens beneath the surface. Once we know it's there, the next step is to face our fight with faith and ask, How do I win this thing?
Now, for our purposes, "winning" doesn't necessarily mean that God has worked everything out as we had hoped (though it sometimes happens that way). It means that God has worked everything together to make us stronger, better and more beautiful.
Do you have faith to believe that you could walk off this battlefield more alive and free and ready to face your future than you have ever been before? Please, believe it. It's possible, friend.
I don't know exactly what you're facing today, but I want you to know that I am praying for you. That life will spring forth, His voice will ring in your ears and you will know for certain that the Captain and Commander is bringing life from ashes, order from chaos, strength from pain.
I am praying for you. That the tears you cry as you walk this road will bring healing as they flow and will usher in hope for a new and lovely season where laughter is not a rare guest, but a welcomed friend. I am praying for you. And I want you to know it.
Let's find some beauty, shall we?

SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivera Medical Corporation announced today that the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) will issue a new continuation patent for its innovative Curos® disinfecting port protector technology on June 26, 2012. U.S. Patent No. 8,206,514 will cover key aspects of disinfecting caps designed to be used with luer-activated IV valves to disinfect and clean the IV port.
IV therapy is the primary route for drug therapy in the acute care setting. However, traditional IV access management techniques, including "scrub the hub" protocols have failed to protect patients as evidenced by the approximately 87 percent of bloodstream infections associated with the presence of some type of intravascular device.
Ivera Medical's Curos Port Protector is a simple, innovative, disposable medical device that effectively disinfects luer-activated needleless valves, killing the organisms associated with patient bloodstream infection. With two dispenser optionsthe Curos Strip or individual Curosnurses can conveniently comply with disinfection protocols by simply peeling the foil seal off the distinctive green cap and twisting Curos over the top of any luer-activated IV access port or needleless valve. Inside Curos a 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) saturated sponge-like foam automatically provides effective, consistent and reliable passive disinfection of the port. The use of Curos eliminates training and technique-related issues while providing an unequivocal indicator that an IV access site is clean.
"This patent further strengthens our patent protection within the disinfection cap arena," stated Bob Rogers, chief executive officer of Ivera Medical. "We continue to develop our intellectual property to ensure that Ivera is well-positioned to bring new and better disinfection solutions to market."
About Ivera Medical
Ivera Medical Corporation is focused on the design, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of products that help healthcare providers reduce facility-acquired patient infections. Curos®, manufactured in Carlsbad, CA, is the first disinfecting cap to be marketed in the U.S. and has received FDA's 510(k) market clearance.

Where Can I Purchase Mini Hot Dogs/Buns? I'm looking to throw a slider party, only with mini hot dogs. Buddha Dog on Roncies used to have them. I know they still exist, and sell their wares at the Brickworks every Saturday, but I'm hoping to find a somewhere where I can buy 100 mini dogs/buns, bring them back to my place, and cook them up. Any ideas? ----- |

Riot-Worthy Dish
Wine Enthusiast editors asked America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants of 2013 "which dish would start a riot if it was taken off the menu?" Their riot-worthy dish is…
"Chef Haidar Karoum's signature dish is tortilla Española, which epitomizes the restaurant's philosophy: Simple dishes prepared with high-quality local ingredients."
Perfect Pairing
Cantabrian anchovies and Lustau's Los Arcos Amontillado is a wonderful wine-and-food marriage. "Fino sherries are often thought of as the be all and end all for anchovies, but give them a shot with Amontillado and you may soon be singing a different tune," says Max Kuller, wine director.
Wine Events
Wine dinners with specialized themes are on offer, including "The Wines of the Canary Islands," the first dinner ever showcasing these wines in America. In addition, Estadio periodically hosts other regionally focused dinners.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine announced the third annual issue of America's best wine-centric establishments, and to commemorate the list, WE hosted a rooftop party where we honored this year's recipients and toasted the exploding culture of wine and food.

Illustration by David Badders (April 18, 2012) |
This New Orleans chef wanted to be a food writer so much that when offered a chance to write for a website by and for women, he took the pen name "Sally Bridges" and got busy.
"For me, it was just learning to be a better writer,'' said Bridges, whose recent hire as chef at Upperline Restaurant has put a dent in the writing he does on his blog, TheRootertotheTooter.com. Yet, he still hopes to write a personal cookbook called "From the Rooter to the Tooter: A Southern Man's Journey of Nose to Tail Cooking."
This Louisiana native pitched a proposal to Judith Jones in an email. She liked what she heard — the voice was there. Then she retired. The book remains unsold and unpublished.
"When you have something as quirky as that, you have to have someone who loves it and will run with it," Jones said. "I would have gone to bat for it. He's an original."
Bridges isn't quitting.
"The writing is timeless and speaks for itself. It is quite the opposite of today's trend of cursing, sloppy, unintelligent dribble that is dumbing down the craft. Someone has to be the voice of reason, and it might as well be me," he said.
Michael Procopio
On this San Francisco waiter/writer's blog, FoodfortheThoughtless.com, there's an "Apple Brown Betty White" salute to the 90-year-old comedian and a failed recipe for "love cake" inspired by one created in a movie by Catherine Deneuve. Both items are very funny. Then there's a posting called "Cauliflower Ears." It is not funny at all.
In the piece, Procopio realizes why he never cooked cauliflower. Seems "cauliflower ears" was a taunt he hurled at a schoolmate named Ben who was later found killed. He ends with a pasta recipe for cauliflower and orecchiette, which means "little ears" in Italian.
"It isn't meant so much as a pun as it is a kind of memento mori — a dish that I will add to my repertoire so that I might think of Ben from time to time, to remind myself just how short our stay in this world can be, and to make the most of what time I'm lucky enough to have left," Procopio explained on the blog.
It's that sort of spin on things, not necessarily the recipes, that draws readers in, he said.
"What I write is sort of what's on my mind," Procopio added. "I tend to answer my own questions."
Leela Punyaratabandhu
This Chicago resident wanted to post some recipes in remembrance of her mother. Thus was SheSimmers.com, a blog on Thai home cooking, born in 2008. It is not a theme she had originally planned to pursue.
"I realized there were not many blogs on Thai food written in English,'' Punyaratabandhu said, via telephone from Bangkok. "It doesn't matter how you brand yourself. In the end, people brand you."
SheSimmers has been a success. It was named one of Saveur magazine's "sites we love" last year. Punyaratabandhu has begun writing columns on Thai cooking for the blog SeriousEats.com, where she was introduced to readers as "a scholar of philology, history, linguistics, and all things culinary." And she's filing posts for CNNGo, CNN International's Asia-centric travel website.
"My world has opened up," she said. "Food puts me in a place where people can see me. It is the food that connects them to me."
Jess Thomson
Diagnosed with lupus, this Seattle writer is now learning to follow a gluten-, soy- and egg-free diet. Her 2-year-old son has cerebral palsy. And she's had three books — four if you include the ghostwritten one on main dishes — just published or on their way.
Readers of Thomson's blog, Hogwash, at jessthomson.wordpress.com, know all about this.

Good Product for the price
10/7/2012 from SMITHFIELD, VA UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
I am not new to fishkeeping nor aquatic plants. Previously, I have always, used low light plants without CO2, but I purchased a high watt T5 HO lamp and the plants did better, but they were not as green as I knew they could be. I was new to CO2 injection and basically bought this unit just to familiarize myself with the art. The unit was easy to put together, but I was a little peeved when attaching the solenoid directly to the pressure regulator...the plastic housing on the regulator presses against the solenoid and I was unable to tighten the solenoid in that manner. So, I attached the solenoid inline between the regulator and the needle valve with tubing. It appears to be performing OK and not leaking. The bubble counter is plastic and somewhat fragile, but if handled carefully it should not be a problem. The reactor performs pretty well, but if I could correct two things I would give the unit better suction cups. The suction cups are not very good. I just lodged this thing behind a piece of driftwood and the problem was solved. The second issue with the reactor is that the plug wire comes out of the bottom...not the best choice. At first I did not think that the CO2 viewer was worthwhile; however, I noticed that the solution is greenish blue in the morning when the unit turns on and it is greenish yellow at the end of the day when the unit turns off. So it does work. All in all I am happy with this purchase and this appears to be a great BEGINNER'S unit. My plants have turned a noticeable deeper green so I know the unit works. I would recommend this unit to a beginner at CO2 injection or a casual aquarist.

Pretty Good !!!
3/20/2009 from NORTHRIDGE, CA UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
Overall this system is pretty good, but when you attach the solenoid directly onto the regulator make sure to use the nylon shim from the removed hose barb. That way it seals without having to worry about leaks. Another thing when tightening the solenoid to the regulator (be careful!) not to tighten it too fast otherwise you might pop off the rubber seal as it rubs on the plastic casing of the regulator. luckily I did not do it but it wanted to come off. Red Sea should not have use so much plastic for the regulator casing. Besides that the system went together very easily, and is precise for how user friendly it is. If you plan on creating a planted aquarium, CO2 is a definite must to meet the criteria for lush and healthy plants. This kit will definitely get your foot in the door so to speak, and get you on your way towards having the planted aquarium of your dreams. Happy planting, and good luck. :)

If you've seen my blogging previously at tech_ip you know that I'm in favor of something ASCAP-like for digital music. That is, I'd like there to be a central repository into which artists could deposit their digital works and from which anyone would be free to license works for download, streaming, exhibition, etc. One of the reasons I'm pro-Creative Commons is that I think we need much more experimentation in this area. Let a thousand flowers bloom.
Now a longtime reader of mine has pointed me to Alan Cohen's article on law.com about patent pools. This article, which is written with Cohen's usual depth and clarity, focuses primarily on MPEG LA, the patent pool for MPEG-2 technologies.
The concept of a patent pool is pretty much exactly what it sounds like - companies contribute their patents and the pool is licensed as a whole. In this case, MPEG LA licenses add a few bucks to the cost of a DVD player and a few pennies to the cost of a DVD. In return, the entire process of licensing relevant IP and remunerating inventors is vastly simplified. This is, potentially, quite good.
Of course, as Cohen points out, the devil is in the details. Past patent pools have had a checkered history, with some being obvious attempts to circumvent price-fixing laws. IP holders probably make less money by pooling their technological innovations than they would if they could license everything separately. However, from a market standpoint, removing that large an amount of friction (MPEG LA has 650 patents from 24 holders) is likely to be a huge win.
From a consumer perspective it's also likely to be a win, as it means companies will have an easier time making cross-compatible systems and should be able to focus their attention on new innovations instead of on trying to worm their way around some patent they can't manage to close a licensing deal on.
Unfortunately, one of the thorny issues missing from the article is that of royalty-free (RF) or donation of patents. I'm guessing that pool participants would give up their ability to do that, which would be bad for free/open standards and software, but that's not immediately clear.

BridgePort Takes a Rye Turn
Rye is a funny grain. It is invariably described as "spicy," but in real-world situations you may get tannic, minty, soapy, or wheat-like. I have not made a careful enough study to know how breweries evoke these different flavors--rye comes in various forms and can be used in the mash in various ways. But whatever they're doing, it seems to result in different flavors. I enjoy the spicy, minty, and wheat-like, but I'm not so hot on the soapy and I hate the tannic. Picking up a bottle of rye beer is like spinning the roulette wheel.
Breweries have been using rye forever, but it seems like it has lately become even more the trend. (Rye whiskey is having a moment as well, so maybe there's something to that--or maybe Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye is the culprit.) It can be brewed dark, hoppy, sour, or light--or combinations of the above. Jeff seems to like the way it interacts with hops, and in both Kingpin and Smooth Ryed I get an astringency that dances very close to the overly-tannic line. They do frame the hops, and in the Centennial-bomb that is SR, this isn't a bad thing. Smooth Ryed is a seriously juicy beer, more energetic and less severe than Kingpin.
Last week I mentioned the sad fortunes of MacTarnahan's/Portland Brewing, which has been casting around for decades to locate its voice. BridgePort has had similar troubles at various times over the years. Since Jeff Edgerton has taken over the reigns, though, BridgePort has become a more cohesive line. Kingpin and Smooth Ryed are closer kin to the flagship IPA--along with pre-Edgerton Hop Czar--than were beers like Ropewalk and my beloved ESB. They are also tacking a lot closer to where the beer geek lives than to whatever a marketing person might think the masses want. Smooth Ryed is a burly 6.3% with 55 IBUs of zing (and with tons of late-hopping, it seem hoppier than that). The rye is a further step in the direction of character instead of compromise. An interesting development.
(Full disclosure: BridgePort sent me a sample of Smooth Ryed.)
*Horrible name. You really need the image of the motorcyle on the label to jog your mind into reading it as "ride" rather than "wry-ed." Smooth Ryde would have been better, but actaully, quickly abandoning the play-on-word concept would have been the best of all. It's so bad I wonder if the name itself jeopardizes the beer. For some reason rye causes breweries to make puns, and they should probably consider knocking it off.

Thanks for the heads-up on this beer. I am a fan of rye beers (and an even bigger fan of rye whiskey), so I'll be on the lookout for this one.
I feel it worth mentioning that rye beers have been very popular among homebrewers for more than a decade, with Denny Conn's Rye IPA (http://www.brew365.com/beer_dennys_rye_ipa.php) a benchmark recipe. I have no way to prove it, but I'm convinced that the recent wave craft brewed rye beers has been largely inspired by the popularity of rye among homebrewers. - 9:42 AM, January 28, 2013

I completely missed the "ride" pronounciation also. I was saying Rye ed. How about Rye'd?

I don't know...I think Flat Tail's Mustache Rye'd Red Ale is a pretty funny name.

Kidnapped toddler rescued
New Delhi, April 27 According to the police, Ishan was rescued from the Tilpat area of Faridabad around 11 last night. The police arrested the maid Sabita, alias Seema (19), along with Anu Ara Begum, another maid of the same house. According to B K Gupta, Delhi police commissioner, the mastermind of the kidnapping, identified as Krishna Dev Kumar along with one Ashok Heru, has also been arrested. "The kidnappers were planning to demand a ransom of Rs 2 crore from the businessman Vikram Singh after 20 to 25 days when the pace of investigations lost steam," said Gupta, adding that the investigators got a breakthrough in the case when they learnt that another maid of the house, Pratima, had left for her hometown only four days before the kidnapping. "The investigation team learnt that Pratima was in relationship with Ashok Heru and their marriage had been fixed. We zeroed in on Ashok who broke down during investigations and told about the kidnapping conspiracy," Gupta said. He added that it was Ashok who led the investigators to Sarai Kale Khan hideout where the boy was first kept. However, the kidnappers had left this hideout by the evening on April 25. Ashok revealed that Krishan Dev planned the whole incident following which the latter was arrested and he provided information regarding Ishaan who was kept in a house in Tilpat (Faridabad). "The accused had changed the appearance of the boy and dressed him as a girl--in a frock. Bangles were put in his arms," revealed Gupta. As per plan, Savita was sent to Vikram's residence to seek employment which she readily got after talking to Gayatri, mother of Ishan. Present at the police headquarters, Gayatri told mediapersons that she was fooled by Savita's innocent looks. "It was the biggest folly of my life. After talking to her, I felt she was nice and innocent and gave her the responsibility of my son," Gayatri said. The arrested accused told the police that they had planned to demand Rs 2 crore as ransom. All the accused are engaged in minor jobs in and around the Maharani Bagh area. The police revealed that while Ashok along with Krishan Dev Kumar is employed in a house in Maharani Bagh, Anu Ara Begam runs a placement agency at Khizrabad, New Friends Colony. |
DU Pol Sc dept opposes sem system
New Delhi, April 27 The pol. science GBM had been called after a petition signed by 109 teachers. The realisation comes after subsequent meetings at the departments of sociology, English and geography, where the semester system was discussed threadbare. "Political Science department of Delhi University was initially the first department from the Arts and Social Sciences to agree to undergraduate semesterisation in principle, but we decided to take a relook at our stance. And at the GBM called by head of the department P K Datta, the department passed resolutions against the semester system, giving detailed reasons and also condemned AC's decision of empowering the VC," said a political science committee member. The Delhi University administration on the other hand says that they have a strong response prepared with semesterisation formally being passed through the academic and the executive councils of the university. Teachers argue that the hurry that the DU administration resorted to in order to pass the semester system was just to look good in the court and contend that the new system has enough support in the university. Teachers say that the new syllabi, besides diminishing the quality of the course, will also affect the performance of students. They complain that the university is paving the way for demolishing the honours system of courses. In the last few days, the standing committee, AC and the EC passed the bifurcated syllabi for all the undergraduate courses that had earlier got a clean chit from the committee of courses of the respective departments. Never in the history of the university had these meetings been called at a short notice of 48 hours when teachers were expected to read material received at late night hours, evaluate and pass it in the meeting, the very next day. Even as the Academic Council in its Monday meeting empowered the vice-chancellor to do anything seemed fit for the implantation of semester system, the teachers are hopeful that the court hearing will bring along some relief to them. This empowering resolution even places the VC as the deciding factor in preparing the syllabus in courses which have been opposing the system till now. "Even as the court hearing was on April 28, the university pushed the departments to pass the new bifurcated courses by setting unrealistically short deadlines. Threatening notices have been served to the head of several departments that did not pass the syllabus or asked for more time. The English department teachers were sent letters and threatened. Finally, the AC and the EC members were asked to attend meetings hurriedly and resolutions were passed one after the other, and any objections raised in the meetings were ignored point-blank," said Sheo Dutt, and elected AC member. |
Mayor gives 10 days to DCs
on sanitation
New Delhi, April 27 "I have written to the commissioner of MCD, telling him to inform the deputy commissioners of all the 12 zones that I could inspect any locality any time. The DCs have 10 days," she said. "If needed, I will visit all the 272 wards of Delhi and check the situation. The MCD runs on the money paid by the general public and so they should at least have garbage-free neighbourhood," she said. She visited Rohini zone today to review the sanitary conditions. She said she will make surprise visits to different areas of the city in the next 10 days and if any dereliction of duty is found, the erring officials or sanitation contractors will be punished. Abbi has also sought a detailed report of permission granted to various agencies, including individuals for road-cutting during the last four years and the restoration work carried out by the corporation thereafter. On Monday, she sent a message in this regard to engineer-in-chief Ravi Dass, asking him to provide a specified compilation. She said that she will review MCD's door-to-door garbage collection system introduced a few months ago. Currently, the system is in place in Civil Lines and Rohini zones and some parts of Dwarka. Abbi said she is not happy with the private firm responsible for garbage collection in the Mukherjee Nagar area which comes under Civil Lines zone. "At a given point in the day, they are supposed to maintain zero-level garbage at the garbage stations. However, in my area the garbage stations are always overflowing. I have also received a few complaints from residents about the work of private concessionaires," added Abbi. |
93-yr-old arthritic gets new knees
New Delhi, April 27 A resident of Durg district in Chhattisgarh, S.N. Bhatt came to the hospital with a history of progressive knee pain and deformity in legs and in a rare surgery, his knees were replaced, said doctors today. "The patient had severe pain due to arthritis, which deformed both his knees and he was using a wheelchair. The only option available was a total knee replacement surgery, which is not recommended generally for patients over 90 years of age," senior orthopaedician Raju Vaishya, one of the doctors who conducted the bilateral total knee arthroplasty, said. As the patient had a controlled hypertension and he did not have any other co-morbid problems, the doctors decided to perform the surgery after discussions with him and his son, said Dr Vaishya. "On April 14, during the three-hour surgery, huge bone defects in the tibia were found which were also corrected by grafting. Four days after the operation, the patient started walking," said Dr Vaishya. He added, "We have set an example in India as this surgery was performed on a 93-year-old person. Bilateral knee replacement is not common in 90s. In my entire career, I had not performed this surgery. It's one of its kind." Seated on a wheelchair, Bhatt, who has been an avid hockey player and had played with the legendary, Dhyanchand, said, "It seems I have got a new lease of life as I will be able to walk again." |
Ex-cricketer arrested in human trafficking case
New Delhi, April 27 The Delhi police has announced a reward of Rs 25, 000 on his arrest after he failed to present himself before the police in connection with a case registered at IGI Airport police station in 2003. He was arrested on a tip-off. According to RA Sanjeev, DCP (IGI Airport), Martin had taken some youth to the UK on the pretext of playing club cricket there in 2003 after taking money from them. The matter came to light after Nimesh Kumar was found travelling on a fake passport. "On questioning, Kumar had said that agent Rajender Bhiku Bhai Patel arranged his journey with the help of agents Martin and Janak Lal Bhogi Raj Pancholi for Rs 7 lakh," said the DCP. Martin prepared a bogus cricket team "Ajwa Sports Club", Vadodra (Gujarat), and took Nimesh as member (player) of the team. However, when the police sought Martin's cooperation in the case he did not turn up and instead took an anticipatory bail. His plea was dismissed by the Supreme Court last week following which non-bailable warrants were issued against. |
Cancel licences of factories hiring kids: HC
New Delhi, April 27 In the city, as per child rights NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), while there are as many as 50,000 factories running without a licence both in the organised and unorganised sector, those with licences are believed to be more than 8,000 now. This is based on the figures given by the Delhi Labour Department in reply to an RTI in 2005 when the number of registered factories stood at 6,766, child rights activist Rakesh Senger, who is BBA secretary, told The Tribune. Among these children, who toil under inhuman and hazardous conditions in exchange of food or a paltry sum, over 90 per cent are believed to be trafficked from the states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, MP and Rajasthan. "Despite the clear directions from the Delhi High Court, the authorities have miserably failed to act upon their own commitment. Last month, BBA had approached the city's High Court as the authorities concerned had failed," said founder of BBA, Kailash Satyarthi. Even as BBA has identified around 2,500 child labourers in Delhi and the list has been furnished to the authorities, nothing much has been done in this regard, he maintained. Acting on the pending complaints, till date Bachpan Bachao Andolan along with the District Task Force has conducted rescue operations through which till now only 146 children have been rescued. Among them, Central district scores the highest with 34 child labourers, 33 from North West district, 25 from the South district, 25 from East district and 15 from South West district. "On March 22, the Delhi High Court directed the labour department and the police to follow its directions and speed up its rescue operations. Now, this judgement would give a push to the drive and the licence-issuing agencies are supposed to take action and cancel the licence of factories where child labourers are found working. For dhabas, the health departmentof the Municipal Corporation of Delhis (MCD) would be responsible for the task," said Senger. Earlier, action was taken against the erring employees under various acts, including Child Labour Act (1986), Bonded Labour Act (1976) etc, but henceforth their licences would stand cancelled. The verdict came today in a matter of the NGO, Self Childhood Foundation, versus state in which the government authorities concerned were supposed to submit the status report of its child rescue operations. Besides, the authorities (divisional commissioner, labour department, etc) have also been told to report the status of the money recovered as compensation (Rs 20,000 per child) from the accused employers by July 13. |
NHRC takes up case of youth wrongly declared dead
New Delhi, April 27 Sanjeev, 21, was severely injured in a road accident on July 17, 2010 and was rushed to the MMG hospital in Ghaziabad by the police, according to the petition filed by human rights activists. "The doctor on duty allegedly declared him brought dead and got
him shifted to the mortuary," a statement from the NHRC said today. The NHRC issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh director-general of health services, calling for a report on the issue within four weeks. "When his (Sanjeev's) family members arrived, they found him alive and crying in pain. They demanded stern action against the negligent doctor, but no action was taken by the authorities in the matter," the statement added. "Despite reminders
in writing and over telephone, the director general failed to respond to the commission's notice. In view of this, the commission today (Wednesday) directed the director general to appear before it on June 3 along with the relevant records in the matter and explain," the statement said. IANS |
Panchkarma hospital at Narela soon
New Delhi, April 27 The 20-bed panchkarma hospital and ayurvedic diabetic centre and the community centre would be completed in 16 months, informed Standing Committee chairman Yogender Chandolia. He said the MCD aimed to provide medical facilities in all forms to the people residing in the city. "Such facilities have already been extended in the urban areas. Now to keep the rural areas at par with the urban areas, a project has been planned," said Chandolia. |
Brave woman makes bandits turn tail
Greater Noida, April 27 According to the police, the four criminals came to Kanti Prasad's house in the afternoon on Tuesday, posing as ceiling fan mechanics. As Hem Lata opened the door, one of the bandits took out a dagger. The housewife at once raised the alarm. Her two children Aman and Riya rushed in and they too started shouting on seeing the strangers. As Hem Lata attacked the intruders with a lathi, a bandit injured her with a knife and then all of them fled. A police team reached there soon and rushed Hem Lata to hospital. A report has been lodged by family members against the intruders in Dadri Kotwali. Kanti Prasad has a cloth merchant's shop in Dadri market. All the family members were at the shop and the woman was home alone. Though intruders had put a dagger on her head, yet Hem Lata did not panic and put up a stout resistance. She even hit a bandit on the head with a lathi. At this one man attacked her with a knife, and then all of them fled in panic. |
