Product description
From sleek, silken tofu with delicate toppings to piping-hot fried satchels in a robust sauce, tofu provides a versatile canvas for the intricate flavors and textures that Asian and vegetarian cooks have long enjoyed. America has embraced tofu as a healthy, affordable ingredient. And while it has been welcomed into sophisticated mainstream dining, tofu is often hidden in Western guises and in limited applications. In her third intrepid cookbook, celebrated food writer and teacher ANDREA NGUYEN aims to elevate this time-honored staple to a new place of prominence on every table. "Asian""Tofu"'s nearly 100 recipes explore authentic, ancient fare and modern twists that capture the culinary spirit of East, Southeast, and South Asia. There are spectacular favorites from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and India, as well as delicious dishes from Taipei, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and New York. Andrea demystifies tofu and interprets traditional Asian cuisine for cooks, sharing compelling personal stories and dispatches from some of the world's best tofu artisans along the way. For those who want to take their skills to the next level, the tofu tutorial clearly outlines tofu-making technique, encouraging readers to experiment with the unparalleled flavors of homemade varieties. But time-pressed cooks needn't fear: while a few recipes, such as Silken Tofu and Seasoned Soy Milk Hot Pot, are truly best with homemade tofu, most are terrific with store-bought products. Some traditional dishes combine tofu with meat in brilliant partnerships, such as Spicy Tofu with Beef and Sichuan Peppercorn and Tofu with Kimchi and Pork Belly, but this collection is predominantly vegetarian and vegan, including the pristinely flavored Spiced Tofu and Coconut in Banana Leaf and vibrant Spicy Lemongrass Tofu Salad. And innovations such as Okara Doughnuts reveal tofu's more playful side. For health- and eco-conscious eaters and home chefs who are inspired to make the journey from bean to curd, "Asian Tofu" is the perfect guide.

Review quote
"Serious tofu lovers (and that includes me) will be amazed by the recipes and lore in Andrea Nguyen's masterful new book. Those more skeptical will become immediate converts to one of the world's most elemental, versatile, and delicious foods." --James Oseland, editor-in-chief of "Saveur" and author of "Cradle of Flavor" "Andrea Nguyen's exquisite book restores tofu to its proper place--one based on deep craft, elegance, and imagination. Here is tofu in its Asian context where it is deeply appreciated for its goodness, not the promises for health we Westerners have endowed it with. An altogether gorgeous work, "Asian Tofu" not only answers whatever questions you might have about tofu, but is graced with the author's adventures on the tofu trail." --Deborah Madison, author of "This Can't Be Tofu!" and "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" "Andrea Nguyen has done it again, taking another subject that crosses many cultural lines--and can be a touch intimidating--and demystifying it, making one immediately want to try these techniques and recipes. The Homemade Tofu Tutorial at the beginning is inspiring and worth the price of admission alone." --David Kinch, chef-owner of Manresa restaurant "This book is worth buying just for the glorious Tofu Chicken Meatballs in Lemongrass Broth. But it is full of other tofu wonders from up and down the East Asian coast such as Soft Tofu and Seafood Hotpot and Savory Tofu Pudding. It will find much use on my shelf." --Madhur Jaffrey, actress, cookbook author, and TV journalist

Arduino Esplora
The Arduino Esplora is a microcontroller board derived from the Arduino Leonardo. The Esplora differs from all preceding boards in that it provides a number of built-in, ready-to-use set of onboard sensors for interaction.
The Esplora has onboard sound and light output interfaces. It also has the potential to expand its capabilities with two Tinkerkit input and output connectors, and a socket for a color TFT LCD screen.
Like the Leonardo board, the Esplora uses an Atmega32U4 AVR microcontroller with 16 MHz crystal oscillator and a micro USB connection capable of acting as a USB client device, like a mouse or a keyboard.
In the upper left corner of the board there is a reset pushbutton, that you can use to restart the board. There are four status LEDS :
ON [green] indicates whether the board is receiving power supply
L [yellow] connected directly to the microcontroller, accessible through pin 13
RX and TX [yellow] indicates the data being transmitted or received over the USB communication
The board contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable to get started.
The Esplora has built-in USB communication; it can appear to a connected computer as a mouse or keyboard, in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial / COM port. This has other implications for the behavior of the board; these are detailed on the getting started page.

Unique Cases call for Specialized Testing: Snake Endoscopy
In a recent blog, I shared one of our recent cases involving "Ruby," one of our Magellanic Penguins who needed some specialized testing. Earlier this Summer, we turned to our friends at Blue Pearl for another case. This one involved a Milksnake who needed an endoscopy.

I have 2 coats that I think fit what you're looking for.
I picked up one kinda like this a few years ago. It is really, really warm (I actually don't end up wearing it as often, but I think I got it on clearance at the end of a cold winter I wished I'd had it.) It does look nice, the slightly longer length would help make it work for a 'going out' type of occasion, for more versatility I'd stick to black or navy - especially for making sure it's appropriate for formal outings.
I also have something kinda like this except with a hood and wooden toggle closures. (I'll see if I can find something similar elsewhere) but it is an excellent warm coat for weather that isn't crazy cold (with hat/scarf/gloves it's pretty warm, I wear something else for lots of snow). I'd always wanted a classy wool coat with wood toggles, so there you go. I happened to get a great deal buying it like in February or March when coats go on sale (I think I paid like $120, and it was like a $300 coat otherwise?) which you may want to consider if you'd prefer something that's a bit more than you'd prefer to spend. I've had it for like 10+ years, and it's still doing great.
I do like the look of this slightly dressy fleece looking fleece coat (styled like the wool one I have).
I do favor this style of coat (it's land's end's wool car coat) as a great dressy but still warm style, when you find it in wool. I'll often see other slightly less expensive versions of this at places like TJ Maxx, from other decent outerwear companies most of the time between now and December (when they seem to disappear).
How about this:
or this:
I have the regular length of the 2nd one and it's the BEST! SO warm!! Down is definitely what you should look for--warm without being heavy.
Single mama to DD 10/18/03 and DS 9/15/05
Mama to DS (5) and DD (2)
but I really wanted to get this one too: http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-luxe-wool-swing-car-coat~243894_59.html.
Keep you eyes on Lands End sale site, I buy the bulk of my clothing (and our DS's) from Lands End and I always find what I want at a great discount because I am willing to wait.
I just bought one today from Sierra Trading Post (google them). They were having a 20% off sale and I had a 35% off e-mail, so my $200 Columbia coat was $80.

(China 1859 – 1919)
19.2 cm diam.
Liang Dingfen (1859-1919) was a native of Panyu, Guangdong province. After gaining the 'jinshi' degree in 1880, he was appointed as the compiler at the imperial Hanlin Academy. He had served in senior official positions such as deputy governor of Hebei province, and was considered an excellent calligrapher. The calligraphy was done as a gift to Tao Zhongchen [mother of the donor of this piece, Nancy Lee].

Ramblings on about natural perfumery, perfumery raw materials, daily grind, and anything else that needs to come out.
Friday, April 29, 2011
Peace, love and patchouli. Okay, it is a crazy mantra, but it works. Give yourself a PLAP on the back early in the morning and things won't seem so bad later in the day when crappy stuff happens.
I've written about patchouli before and most of you who read this blog know that I adore the stuff. There have been times, however, when I didn't. I'm much more discerning these days about patchouli choices. I have favorites and they're in the organ listed as such -- Grade A, B, C, D, and so forth, my own classification method which has little bearing on how the rest of the world may perceive these individual patchoulis. I'm always delighted when I find a sweet, floral patchouli -- I have to admit, those are my favorites. But I am partial to the sooty variety as well.
Perfumes in The Scented Djinn arsenal which highlight or simply have patchouli in their composition are:
Khamsa Eau Fraiche ~ special order scent, available in 50 and 100 ml spray bottles
Serj ~ at www.thescenteddjinn.com ~ available in 1ml sample bottles, 5 ml perfume bottles, and 9 ml flacons
Ghusun ~ at www.thescenteddjinn.com ~ available in 1 ml sample bottles and 5 ml perfume bottles
Kush Bakhur ~ at www.thescenteddjinn.com ~ available in 1 ml samples bottles and 5 ml perfume bottles
For more fabulous patchouli perfume choices, be sure to follow the Summer of Patchouli Love scent event at Perfume Pharmer.

Oh, May Day! I almost forgot! That was one of my favorite 'holidays' in grammar school (they don't allow it in schools anymore). We'd choose a May Queen and wrap ribbons around the tether ball poles and party all day long . . . *sigh*ReplyDelete
I've shaken off the dark, I think, that's why the lightness on the blog. It suits. I'm happy you like it :)
Thanks Monica :)ReplyDelete
PLAP! for you too.ReplyDelete

The myelin sheath consists of numerous Schwann cell wrappings along the length of the axon. Spaces occur between adjacent Schwann cells, leaving uninsulated areas, or neurofibral nodes (nodes of Ranvier), along the axons. As an insulator, the Schwann cells interrupt the continuous conduction of a nerve impulse along the axon. A signal is transmitted by local current in the interior of the axon. Axon potentials are generated only at the nodes. This gives the appearance of "jumping" (salutatory conduction) from node to node. In this fashion, the myelin sheath provides insulation between adjacent nerve fibers, preventing the crossover of one nerve impulse to an adjacent axon.
In the CNS, the axons of neurons are insulated by oligodendrocytes. The myelin sheath is formed when a process extended by the oligodendrocyte wraps around an axon. Many axons may be myelinated by multiple processes from a single oligodendrocyte.
The white and gray matter of the brain and spinal cord are distinguished by the presence or absence of myelin sheaths:

When breathed, CO combines with the blood and prevents it from absorbing oxygen. Carbon monoxide can be produced by incomplete combustion, often the result of improperly adjusted or poorly-vented appliances. Annual check-ups of these appliances help ensure proper and safe operation. To prevent CO buildup:
CenterPoint Energy offers up these tips to avoid a build-up of deadly carbon monoxide gas:
1) Have your heating system checked annually prior to heating season by a qualified heating and air conditioning technician.
2)Follow manufacturers' operating instructions properly for gas heating equipment.
3)Do not use stovetop burners or ovens to heat a room since they are not designed for this use.
4)Make sure to follow the blue flame rule. Natural gas flames should burn blue except natural gas fireplace logs which burn orange to have a more realistic wood-burning look.
5)Crack windows slightly if using unvented space heaters.
6)Consider buying a CO detector as another line of defense against CO poisoning. CenterPoint Energy recommends buying one with an audible alarm and continuous digital display; make sure it is tested to the national standard for residential CO detectors (UL2034 or IAS NO. 6-96).
If you are in a room with operating gas equipment and experience a headache, followed by dizziness and nausea, you may be experiencing CO poisoning.

Clean, Green Boulder City~We're so proud of our quaint, little town and want you to be our guest in experiencing a little of its historic charm...
Boulder City is a community in Nevada without gaming and home of the State's number one tourist attraction, Hoover Dam. This is a wholesome, family-oriented community, with a significant retirement sector, that takes pride in it's low crime rate and high-quality police and fire protection. We are ideally located between the entertainment and excitement of Las Vegas and Henderson, and the recreation paradise of the Lake Mead Recreation Area, containing North America's largest man-made lake.
Even though Boulder City is controlled by a slow-growth ordinance and therefore remains a small community, we host many large events. Art in the Park and Spring Jamboree are two of the largest events in Boulder City drawing nearly 100,000 guests to the Historic District. You'll never find a dull weekend, as there is always something happening. The attractions and recreational opportunities have put Boulder City on the International map. Bootleg Canyon is world renowned for it's amazing and extreme mountain biking. It is home to an exciting zip line, soaring visitors over the breathtaking views of Bootleg Canyon and Hemenway Valley. If visitors look really hard while sailing through the air, they might spot one of the many Big Horn Sheep lying on the cool grass of Hemenway Park.
Boulder's friendly atmosphere and enjoyable pace really gives you a sense of down home charm. We'd love to have you join us for a relaxing stroll through Old Town, play a challenging golf game at one of the golf courses, do a little shopping in the business corridor, or enjoy an appetizing meal at a favorite restaurant.
No matter what mood you arrive in, Boulder City will bring a smile to your face and will draw you back time and time again.

Narrow your search
Big companies including JPMorgan Chase and Pepsi are bringing on chief information security officers to limit their exposure to major hacks.
Security changes to popular products like Yahoo Messenger are on the way, says Yahoo's first CISO in a year, security industry veteran Alex Stamos.
The company has announced veteran security executive Alex Stamos as its CISO, confirming a rumor that he would be tapped for the role.
The current CIO of security firm Artemis and co-founder of the rebellious counter-conference TrustyCon will be Yahoo's first CISO in more than a year.
First broadcast previewed five presentations to be made in full in August with future Webinars perhaps once a month.
Ever wonder just how much open source you're already running? Just ask your developers. You may be surprised by what you hear.
The good news is that companies are actually hiring security executives but the bad news is that many still consider them glorified firewall administrators buried in a organization.

21st Century Pain and Sports Medicine: Home
Dr. Starr is a medical doctor and homeopathic physician, Board Certified by the American Board of Pain Medicine. He is an international speaker and the acclaimed author of Hypothyroidism Type 2 ? The Epidemic.
We are seeing a big upswing in chronic diseases today, in large part, because we have a silent epidemic of low thyroid. A vast number of cases of fatigue, joint and muscle pain, headaches, depression, infections, metabolic syndrome and more have low thyroid and iodine deficiency at their root. Hormone imbalances, chiefly low levels of usable thyroid, are responsible for many of our aches and pains.
Having dealt with his own hypothyroid issues and having to dig for answers, Dr. Starr makes an excellent advocate for those seeking competent medical treatment for chronic diseases, thyroid hormone, and balancing of bio-identical hormones.
Dr. Starr?s mastery of pain and non-invasive healing techniques led him to develop a dedicated following among those with sports injuries.
Dr. Starr believes that medicine should not be based primarily on chemistry. Every organ, every cell, every toxin vibrates at its own frequency. The body is an energetic being. Recognizing that, we can get to the root of many problems and restore health.

I think saying actors work hard is a misnomer! Try working in a factory in the summer.Try battling fires;working in coal mines,be a policeman/woman in a large city. THAT is hard work!
I so tired of celebs being treated like gold it makes me ill.

oh great article ,Poor Grace Hightower. You would think she could dress a little more elegant being married to Robert
deNiro. Get a stylist girl!!!My boyfriend and i both think so ...He is almost 11year older than me .i met him via kissmilita ry.c 'oma nice place for s'ee'king Army, Navy, Mari'nes, Air Force, Police Force and their admires.just love it

This is the American way Rich and White you pretty much can do what you like.......once in awhile they scarifice one of their own.Look how many poor and people of color are in prison for alot less then what she or Paris have done. Like to see what Glen B or Hannity have to say...Go to a college campus to see the flow of drugs. Probably as much drugs there as any urban neighboorhood except they are trying to escape their misery and college kids just wanna have fun. God loves America ..You think?
- Saturday 02 OctoberBy Kookie
I agree. Actors and actresses claim it is hard work - for what? for a few weeks or a month and then off to the tropics for a vacation. Try working 50 weeks a year at hard labor and getting paid very little. Actors and actresses are very much overpaid and not worth it.
- Saturday 02 OctoberBy bob
I agree being a actor is like dressing up as a kid the only diferance they get pain millions of dollars and cops fireman factory workers and just about everyone else gets paid crap

Working on a movie set is hard work - not necessarily for the likes of Tom Cruise - but they start filming around 5 am most times, often finish around midnight or late in the evening, and the crew works their butts off! The only people sitting around a lot are the mega stars, the rest of the people are working hard - I know, I've been there being one of the poor schlepps who does the grunt work. So, more celebs should be saying THAT in their interviews, and Julia Roberts HAS SAID IT. She said her part was easy because she loves her job and there is a lot of downtime for knitting between takes - she praised the crew who did all the background work that nobody knows about - I mean, apart from the crew and their families and the odd movie buff, NO ONE reads the credits!
- Saturday 02 OctoberBy panpzhu
Cruise was easy to recognize. Look for the short guy that dresses like the Village people and there he is. It's as easy as finding Waldo.I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via age'lessmate.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..

You need to relex. I think "Hard working" is quite relative. Yes, all the above formentioned are hard jobs, doesn't mean being an actor isn't hard. Do you know what the ones that don't "make it" go through? No, of couurse not. It is a very very small percentage of actors that actually "make it". Point is, everyone works hard in their on respective fields. Now get off of your soapbox before you fall and scrap your knees.

look it might not be physically challenging, but acting is emotionally taxing, and it is VERY difficult making it big time and still keeping your head...
i see your point
but if you aren't interested in them, why click on the article?
and if you think it's so easy, why don't you try and make it big?

Rules of attraction
Posted: 21 May 2010
Some things aren't open to debate. You don't need to run tests or analyse performance data to figure out that the Alfa 8C is beautiful. You look at it and a few seconds later you're thinking about remortgaging your house, selling a kidney, robbing a bank...
When it was first unveiled as a coupe concept back in 2003 we loved it, but in 2005, when the top was chopped off, what had seemed close to perfection suddenly became just that. It might have lost the teardrop three-quarter glass, but in its place was a chance to gawp at that exquisite interior; the dash console machined from a block of solid aluminium and framed by naked carbon fibre, the luxurious leather seats, the elegant switchgear.

Ford racing Boss Attack program - Gettin' Schooled
Ford Racing Boss Track Attack
The electrified passion at Ford is unrivaled, and it shows in the entire Mustang line-up, television commercials, print ads, and in the attitude of the engineering and PR team. The "Mustang for everyone" mentality is spot on.
Being handed the keys to your new V-6, 5.0L GT, or fire-breathing GT500 gives you the perfect tool to gallop on windy roads, a certified circuit, or to terminate the competition from stoplight to stoplight. But when it comes to faultless handling, the Boss 302 is the primo Pony.
From the rowdy 444hp Boss mill to the race-inspired seats and suspension, the Boss has the sounds, stamina, and style that's suited to contemporary or retro fans.
Being the Boss has it's privileges, and '12-'13 Boss owners are offered a complimentary admission into an intense one-day driving experience: The Ford Racing Track Attack driving program. It's designed to safely teach you the capabilities and limits of the Boss 302.
Owners have up to one year after purchase to attend this unique program at the challenging Miller Motorsports Park road course in Tooele, Utah (just 30 minutes from Salt Lake City). The facility is a true beauty with the majestic scenery of Mustangs and mountains--it is truly breathtaking.
To better understand the program, we spent two days at MMP--the first in the Track Attack program, the second driving the FR500S racer as a part of the optional two-day driving school.
"The design of the [Track Attack] program was a collaboration between Ford and Miller Motorsports Park," said Mickey Matus, Ford Racing marketing communication manager. "The program is exclusive to '12 and '13 Boss 302 owners, however, the owners can bring a guest, who for a fee, can participate in all elements of the program--both on and off the track. And obviously the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School is available for any, and all, fans of fast driving," he added. MMP offers a variety of options, from a basic beginner's class, to the four-day race licensing course.
Upon our arrival, we attended the welcome reception in the Larry H. Miller Total Performance Auto Museum. The museum houses what can best be described as a collection of Ford's storied performance history, which is represented with historic machines, amazing artwork, and loads of memorabilia. We indulged in a buffet dinner and a private tour of those awe-inspiring Ford racing cars.
This included the '66 LeMans-winning Ford GT Mark II, the '67 Sebring-winning GT-40, a rare '70 Boss 302, over 20 Shelby Cobra, and even a rare Dragonsnake. There was a Thunderbolt, a Dan Gurney-driven Trans Am Cougar, and one of six Shelby Daytonas. Did I forget to mention the row of '65-'66 GT-350 Mustangs?
"Boss owners are now part of this glorious history," said Matus, "Entering the classroom the next day, they transition from yesterday to today, where they learn the unique features and attributes of the Boss--all in a fun, exciting, controlled, high-speed driving experience. While the fundamentals of the classroom and on-track instruction are common with those taught in the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School, they are amplified with the Boss 302."

Department Graduate Institute of Geophysics Year 1998 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language zh-TW.Big5 Chinese Title Detecting Houchiali Fault and Its Neighboring Structures Using Shallow Seismic Reflection Method Date of Defense Page Count 83 Keyword Choungchou anticline Houchiali fault shallow seismic reflection Tainan anticline Tawan syncline Abstract Houchiali fault is located along the eastern border of Tainan tableland, southern Taiwan. The fault extends approximately in the north-south direction with a length of 11 km. It takes an S shape and a part of it is parallel to the highway. On the ground, the fault has a clear fault scarp and the Tawan lowland is at its eastern side. Previous studies indicated that Houchiali fault was formed by the uplifting of Tainan anticline which causes a fault shifting along the side. The research used the shallow seismic reflection method to detect the Houchiali fault as well as its nearby structures. By using three long reflection seismic lines, we are able to examine this fault. The obtained fault images are extremely clear on the seismic profiles. By carefully comparing the reflection layers on each side, we find that the Houchiali fault is a normal fault. Tainan formation is covered on the Houchiali fault steadily. It seems that Houchiali fault may not activate after the deposition of Tainan formation.
In addition to the fault detection, we also used fourteen short-range seismic lines arranged from the Tainan coast to the Kuanmiao area to investigate the background geology structure near the fault. After carefully reserving the characteristics of each reflector, we are able to correlate different layers on different seismic profiles and obtain a gross picture of structural variation along the east-west profile. The related structures from west to east are Tainan anticline, Tawan syncline and Chungchou anticline.
The research obtained the following results:
1. The fault images are extremely clear on the seismic
profiles. The reflection layers in the eastern part of the
fault are unbelievably flat, but the layers in the western
part of the fault are tilted, updipping to the west. By
carefully comparing the reflection layers on each side, we
find that the Houchiali fault is a normal fault.
2. Tainan formation is covered upon the Houchiali fault
steadily. It seems that Houchiali fault may not activate
after the deposition of Tainan formation. Because the layers
are deformed in a consistent way, Houchiali fault probably
occurred in a one-time process.
3. Tainan anticline is believed due to the mud diapiric lifting
from the Gutingkeng formation. The Erhchungchi formation
above it formed an anticline structure after mud diapiric
intrusion. The axis of the anticline is located west of that
proposed by Sun (1964). Tainan anticline has an
unsymmetrical shape, the east limb is dipper than the west
4. Houchiali fault is formed by the mud diapiric lifting
together with the plate tectonic forth. The tectonic
movement twisted the eastern limb of Tainan anticline and
trigged the Houchiali fault along its eastern boundary.
5. The subsurface structure in Tawan lowland is located at the
deeper places. The shape of Tawan syncline is not obvious,
and the Chungchou anticline is gentler than Tainan
anticline. The Liushuang formation has entered the lowland
and unconformably seated above the Erhchungchi formation.
6. The research proposed an effective seismic reflection survey
technique to detect the activity fault. The procedures
included (1) use several seismic lines (three at least) and
overlap (do it twice for one seismic line), to define the
fault images carefully, (2) use areal seismic line spread to
find the structure near the fault which may provide the
basic structural information related to the fault. These
procedures are proved useful to detect the fault as well as
to find the geology setting that may induce the fault.

Sun reluctant to make Java open source

IBM urges Sun to make Java open sourceFebruary 26, 2004
Sun bets on free Java toolNovember 13, 2003
During a press briefing here Tuesday, Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president of software, indicated that the company is not inclined to take up IBM's offer to work with Sun to make Java technology open source because of concerns over compatibility.
Get Up to Speed on...
Open source
Get the latest headlines and
company-specific news in our
expanded GUTS section.
Rod Smith, IBM's vice president of emerging technology, last month sent an e-mail, which was distributed to the press, to Sun Vice President Rob Gingell urging Sun to make Java open source. IBM executives said that making at least a portion of Java software open source would help make Java easier to distribute with Linux and would generally promote its usage among developers.
An IBM representative said last week that the company was hoping to meet in the next few weeks with Sun to discuss the matter. Schwartz on Tuesday said that the two companies are in ongoing discussions but have yet to talk over IBM's proposal.
Schwartz said the general public license (GPL) that governs many open-source applications encourages "forking," or a divergence among the different distributions of the software. He cited the example of Red Hat becoming the de facto distributor of open-source operating system Linux in North America.
"Java is the antithesis of forking. It's about compatibility. That compatibility is of supreme importance," Schwartz said.
He said that Sun does not want to re-create a situation in which there are different and incompatible versions of Java, as is the case with Linux. "We're not going to repeat the mistakes we've seen in the past," he said in an interview with CNET News.com on Monday.
Schwartz also noted that people who stick to Sun's licensing terms and maintain compatibility with Sun standards can have access to the Java source code. Changing the licensing to an open-source model would encourage different implementations, he said.
"If IBM wants to allow incompatible implementations, I've seen that movie. It's called 'Microsoft licenses Java from Sun.' It forked the Java community, set us back years, and is now the subject of intense antitrust litigation. I'm not going to let that happen," Schwartz said, who called IBM's request "kind of weird."
By ensuring compatibility through the Java standardization process, Sun intends to ensure that developers can write a Java application and have it run on many different operating systems and devices, he said.
On Wednesday, IBM said it is committed to maintaining Java compatibility and asserts that this can be achieved in an open-source development model. The company pointed to existing open-source projects, such as Tomcat, which drive adoption of Java programming while maintaining adherence to standards. "With Sun's support, an open-source Java will increase the adoption of Java and maintain compatibility," IBM said in a statement.
What's in store for Java
At the press briefing on Tuesday, Sun executives said the company plans to release a Linux edition of its Java Enterprise System in the next 60 days. Sun charges $100 per employee per year to use the product, which is a bundle of Java server software. Windows and HP-UX versions of the Java Enterprise System are expected to be completed by the end of the year, executives said.
The company also is adding in remote diagnostics capabilities that will allow Sun, with a customer's permission, to fix problems over the Internet. Early diagnostic tools are already in version 2 of the Java Enterprise System and will be expanded over the course of the year, said Steven Borcich, executive director of Java enterprise system and security.
Borcich said that in the next 60 days Sun will detail how it plans to meld its current identity management products with the software it gained from its acquisition of Waveset Technologies. Ultimately, the identity management software will be integrated with Sun's N1 Grid technology to allow companies to provision resources, such as bandwidth or processing capacity, based on groups of people within companies, he said.
By the end of the year, Sun will release enterprise and standard editions of the Java Application Server 8, server software that is a component of the Java Enterprise System. Version 8 uses the Java 2 Enterprise Edition 1.4 specification, which allows companies to run Web services applications.
In April, Sun will begin an early evaluation process for its Java Studio Creator product, a Java programming tool aimed at rapid creation of Web applications.
Joe Keller, vice president of marketing for Java Web services and tools, said that Sun has had some discussion with the newly formed board of Eclipse about the open-source development project's work with the Java Tools Community. He said that Sun wants to better understand Eclipse's goals and is waiting to name an executive director before renewing any discussion regarding Sun's participation in Eclipse.

- Bad-mouthing open-source
- Dear Mr. Schwartz:
Here are a couple of questions for your eloquent demeanour to consider:
1. How are you countering the threat of .NET? Or are you content with burying your head in the sand that this threat will blow away? *wink* like all the other threats from M$ *wink*
2. Why are you bad-mouthing open-source? Its the GPL that has allowed you to redeem some of your company's pride by riding on the Sun JDS which is nothing more than Sun-crippled Suse Linux! So, please don't make the GPL out to be a mistake ... although seeing your support for SCO its pretty obvious why you say that ...
So, stop shooting off your mouth and try to do some ground work before the M$ .NET juggernaut runs over Java and its (admittedly) glorious past and present.

- Sun(tm) takes ideas from others, credits self
- I have watched the development of the Java Language for a long time. Although most is not, part of the language is a unique invention of Sun(tm) and its employees. I know this because I have studied the features of the Java Language, and I have noticed were such ideas have orignated beforehand.
Xerox P.A.R.C. employees worked on a language that had many ideas that Java now implements, yet the makers of Java claimed the invention.; look at LambdaMOO, for example. The language is like change in dialect. That is not all.
I have worked on a system, atomatrix.sourceforge.net , for longer than the Java Language was first published. I noticed many details of the Atomatrix system also implemented into the Java Language. I do not use the Java Language, so I do not get any ideas for it.
Why would a company claim the creditials that they mastered the Java Language to a level that actually included previous implementations done outside of the company by individuals that do not work for Sun(tm)? I expect that the answer would include the reason why Sun(tm) does not release the source code; they don't want to lose their creditability. "They don't reveal their sources."
What happened is that the systems that were built before the Java Language was published were hot stuff at the time. Sun(tm) decided to put the pieces together and hire employees to complete the details of state-of-the-art virtual machines. Of course, they took the market and advertised. I know I can to improve Atomatrix at the low-level well beyond what the Java Language currently handles. Of course, I do not have the employee force to write all the details like Sun(tm). The systems that were hot stuff quickly ate the dust.
Now, Sun(tm) is unable to keep up the to the latest object orientated technologies. They have to keep that "supreme compatibility" issue as their priority. That is also their downfall. I have seen systems that make the Java Language not even look like a object orientated language. Sun(tm) continues to press its model as "the object orientated language" -- at least until the sources are seen.

- Java - The Best of Both Worlds!
- Java is the best of both worlds - It is Free, invovles a community process to grow the language and has the quality control of a major IT company.
It works with Windows, UNIX, LINUX and tons of smaller PDA/Cell phone type devices. What could be better?? .NET w/C# is a cheap (for now) knock off of OO and Java. It might be there in a few years but ask yourself if you believe in LINUX why would you ever advocate for .NET?? The M$ plan to tie me to a Windows OS for life?
Java does provide access to the source as was pointed out in the article. The language does in fact grow and adapt through the Java Community Process (JCP). I think Java would survive a move to the open source (GPL) license model but what is in it for Sun or its customers? Sun has spent large amounts of time and money as was pointed out in other postings, marketing the brand, since it is a free distribution the only thing they really get back is the name recognition of the brand (I don't think enough Java logo hats are ever sold to make up the difference -BTW). SO What's wrong with Free Code and consistency? My job is tons easier not having to worry about what implementation of Java to code for. Version control is pretty good, Security is a major feature and the release schedule makes sense. Sun being the lead for Java is like having a good facilitator and note taker at a meeting. I like having a person to do that work but I rarely want to be that person.
Just because Sun doesn't follow everyone else's lead in swooning over Open Source, doesn't make them bad. Besides if they did that Java wouldn't be around in the first place.

- Java is already open source
- Java is already open source Sun have published the source of the Java API's for ages. Just check the jdk on your machine and look for src.jar. It may not publish the source for its JVM but that is irrelevant most of the time since the idea of java is that you can change your JVM with out even having to recompile. The source for Sun's JVM or IBMs' or BEA etc will be different but should not matter since they must all conform to the spec.
How often do open source linux developers use the C code to an application compared to how often they bug fix the kernel or gcc to get an app to work, it is the same issue. The JVMs work developers don't need to know how, the API's source is there to help developers. I regularly look into the java API source, I have never wanted to look into the JVM source.

Book, Music & Lyrics: Jim Jacobs
Author, Composer & Lyricist: Warren Casey
Director: David Gilmore
Music Staging & Choreographer: Arlene Phillips
at Civic Theatre, Auckland
From 5 Aug 2010 to 29 Aug 2010
Reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe, 12 Aug 2010
Like any good trip down the Grease memory lane, this production is fun, energetic, colourful and while the song order is different, overall it never strays too far from the famous film version that so many remember so well. Even as the Radio WAXX pre show music drifts through the auditorium, to ease us into the 50s, when hairstyles and rock'n'roll were the only things that mattered in a teenager's world, my mind wanders back.
From the opening scene – the first day back at Rydell High – all our favourite characters, which many have grown up with, are instantly recognisable.
With her charismatic stance, Genna Galloway as Rizzo demands our full attention whenever she struts on stage.
Roger (Darren Vercuiel) and Jan (Cherise Roberts) are very likable nerds, but its David Schlachter as Eugene, who takes top honours as the coolest geek.
Bronwyn Reddy makes an enthusiastic, elastic Patty and Sharon Spiegel-Wagner, as Frenchie, is in fine singing voice, and just adorable to watch, as is cute Doody (Matt Counihan), although he is completely upstaged in his solo. In fact, his back up singer-dancers in 'Those Magic Changes', confirm that this is the campest production of Grease you'll ever see!
Angelina Jolie look-a-like Kirsten Murphy portrays the drop dead gorgeous yet slightly dim hussy Marty, to a tee. Kenickie, played by Charles Bouguenon, is a stand out. From his electric 'Greased Lightnin' to his sexy swagger and eye catching form on the dance floor, he is every bit a leading man.
Jason Capewell enjoys bringing Vince Fontaine to life, as a fading, nearly 'has-been' middle-aged man, reliving his glory days at the High School Hop.
Bethany Dickson's sweet Sandy is suitably nice and Jonathon Roxmouth as Danny uses an infectious goofy laugh and his obvious talents as a comic actor, to endear himself to the audience. While both are excellent singers, with impressive vocal craft, even taking into account that Grease is by nature, larger than life in tone and delivery, it is still difficult to see any embellished (let alone believable) chemistry and emotional connection between them, as they angst about their teenage love.
However, neither David Gilmore's direction nor Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey's script are about subtleties or subtext. The spelling out of emotions and forced feelings, along with the corny lines and cheesy set ups, are totally intentional. All are in keeping with a musical crafted to take us lightly from one hit song to the next, on a fun-loving ride.
While occasionally this makes for an oddly disjointed journey, every time the T-Birds appear this talented group of men clearly portray their loyal bond and solidarity as cool yet hapless larrikins, and milk every opportunity for buffoonery. The Pink Ladies by contrast, never quite succeed in communicating the same degree of schoolyard camaraderie.
Musical Director Charl-Johan Lingenfelder's thumping 7-piece band is drum-heavy, occasionally low on finesse but always high on raw energy and volume. At times they appear to be having so much fun, they are a tad loose. On saying that, it's about drive and energy, and the band delivers plenty of both.
Musical Staging / Choreographer Arlene Phillips and associate choreographer Stori James capture and utilise every bit of that drive and energy. In particular, the company's moves on the bleachers in 'We Go Together', are brilliant.
While the main cast members are a mix of seasoned professionals and new faces from diverse backgrounds, overall the company are at their absolute best where it really matters: singing the big, fat, well known songs that generations have come to love and adore. At full voice, their vocal wave in 'Grease Is The Word', 'Summer Nights', 'We Go Together' and 'You're The One That I Want' and 'Finale' (the compulsory medley), is thrilling.
Other numbers are not so exciting: band and company seem out of step in 'Shakin At The High School Hop' and the following duet, 'It's Raining On Prom Night' suffers from an imbalance in the audio mix between melody and harmony.
After Lingenfelder's slightly pedestrian pace in 'Born To Hand Jive' (which also features some odd and distracting guitar FX), Bethany Dickson's wonderful vocal and stand out moment, singing 'Hopelessly Devoted To You', pulls the music and magic of nostalgic memories, back on track. Roxmouth's 'Sandy' is equally evocative, even though the tempo seems a little rushed.
The all important music is in fine hands, as audio design by Bobby Aitken is full of noteworthy details, such as clever cross fades from full PA volume, to a wireless (prop) radio on stage. Also, his decision to give hand held RF microphones to soloists in the upbeat rock songs, rather than rely on the weaker gain of headset mics, is highly effective. It gives the audience a far more present, tangible lead vocal.
Mark Henderson's lighting rig is massive, and while there are some old-school touches like the Grease logo in a sea of festoons, the overall look and feel is modern and bright, with extra trussing to house the huge number of moving lights that sweep the stage. Set design by Terry Parsons is similar: While full of bright primary colours, it has a contemporary, almost industrial feel to it.
Costume designer Andreane Neofitou ensures individuals are suitably attired in his or her own stand out bold and colourful 50s threads, or uniform T-Bird blacks. By contrast, her fantasy frocks in 'Beauty School Drop Out' are rightfully garish.
However – and there is no easy way to say this – given the chunky size of this production's Danny, his tight stovepipe jeans and even tighter tiny white running shorts need to be addressed. Staying true to the cut of the day is one thing, but when the leading man's costumes are so distracting to the audience that they boarder on laughable and repellent, you have a problem.
My specific niggles aside, Grease absolutely unleashes a fun, colourful musical ride, through the eyes of our most loved and adored characters from Rydell High. Like an episode of Glee, it guarantees good times.

Wanted, dead or alive: specimens of an obscure worm, Artioposthia triangulata, that thrives in damp conditions and adopts many different shapes. This startling request appears on a poster that was put up in allotment and garden societies all over Scotland last month. The villain in question is a recent immigrant from New Zealand which seems to be spreading across Ireland and Scotland.
The aim of the poster is not merely to provide Scottish biologists with interesting samples. For the creature - a planarian flatworm - eats earthworms, valued contributors to the fertility of soil. It manages to follow its prey down burrows by flattening itself; there is little that the fatter worm can do to escape capture. After wrapping itself around the earthworm and secreting powerful digestive enzymes, the flatworm sips its liquidised victim through a slit-like mouth on its underside.
A small but growing number of agricultural researchers consider ...

The Orioles reached the 100-game mark last night and, in case you hadn't noticed, the race in the American League East has tightened up.
The Red Sox (60-41) lead the Rays (59-41) by just a half game, and the Orioles (57-43) enter play tonight just 2 1/2 games out.
But what are the odds for each team to win the division?

Location and breakfast
Rooms were clean and large enough. Breakfast was fairly good.
We had a 4 in the morning fire alarm go off and had to evacuate the hotel. That was due to an employee opening the fire exit at that time for a late arriving guest. That was quite unpleasant, and tiring.
Very pleased. This was very roomy, clean and comfortable. I also liked the location near the train station and within easy walk to the Shakepeare Theater and historic attractions.
Location (very central), friendly and helpful staff, character. WiFi was very accessable
Room was a bit worn. No mention was made before arrival (eg at time of booking) of £10 per night charge for use of the carpark.
the room was roomy.
hotel itself seems to be old and needs to be renovated. Example: one one occasion the elevator doors didn't open and the emergency bell didn't work - a terrifying experience for those of us aboard. Also saw a few bugs, one on the head of a staff member!

This lowers your opportunity of health issues, because bottled liquid is often created to the highest possible of requirements.
When you arrange a holiday vacation tour, be versatile concerning your location.

If you are taking a trip to an unknown nation and are certainly not fluent in the foreign language, guarantee you can easily often arrive easily back at your lodging through carrying its own company, phone variety and location with you. Usage a part of hotel letterhead or an enterprise playing card or matchbook designated with the proper info, or produce it on a notepad. If you get lost, just reveal the info to a cab driver, and, prior to you know it, you'll be back in your home base.
If you are taking a trip through car, ensure that you take constant breaks from propelling. Make certain that you stop every a couple of to 3 hrs to stretch your lower legs, rest your eyeballs and ingest some meals and liquid. Without these halts, weakness, eyeball tension and dehydration could certainly result in a major mishap.
Are you all set to take place a journey? Usage a tough, simple to spin spun sack to work as a bring on. Have one that is the best size for above storing but maximizes area. Someone must find one that has backpack bands, if achievable, so you may simply carry it in the most packed airport monitors.

Giving your laptop with you if you know you will certainly possess a web hookup where you are remaining. In case of accident, people can easily permit you know exactly what is going on and you will not possess any kind of bad revelations when you return.
Prior to taking a trip off your at home territory, make sure to download all information from your mobile phone onto your desktop computer or separate computer hardware. Robbers are recognized to target journeyers at airports, hotels and visitor places. If all your necessary contact amounts are stored in a thieved phone, it will definitely create a stress filled journey. Even take into account creating them down the outdated means and keeping a checklist in your things.
When choosing exactly what to don on your foundations when you take place an airplane ride, remember that you will certainly be most relaxed in footwears that slip off simply. Crocs or flip flops are recommended because they can easily be set off or place on in a moment.
Make copies of necessary reports. Someone must possess copies of your insurance coverage policy, passport, visas, charge card amounts and any kind of adventurer's reviews.

Jet Bradley Review
Jet Bradley
Tron 2.0 (Neca)
Jethro Eugene "Jet" Bradley is a fictional character within the TRON universe. He is depicted as the young adult son of Alan & Lora Bradley. He is featured prominently in both the video game TRON 2.0 & the comic book series Tron: The Ghost in the Machine. At the start of TRON 2.0, Jet Bradley works for the company ENCOM. He has a strained relationship with his father, Alan Bradley, based on several factors, including generational differences as well as coping with the loss of his mother, Lora Bradley, in a work-related accident. Events in the game force Jet to be teleported into the computer world. Once inside the computer world, he eventually befriends characters such as Mercury & Ma3a. With these characters, he eventually frees his father from imprisonment, prevents a rival company from acquiring advanced proprietary technology from ENCOM & destroys a virus that was spreading across the computer world.
The figure is pretty game accurate, featuring dark blue armor with the usual Tron-like light blue circuitry like lines. He comes with an updated disk. He is part of a four figure set that was released. The articulation is pretty basic sadly with it mostly being hips, arms, and head. The paint applications are very good with little or no problems, the quality of the figure overall is very good as well. The lack of accessories is annoying as he had several extra weapons beyond the disc in the game. The costs of the figures at roughly $50.00 before shipping for the 4 is rather steep and this figure by itself was 20.00 before shipping. Overall it is a treat for Tron fans but not for everyone.

By his own admission, the second-fastest man in history, Tyson Gay of the US, has stumbled big time. "I don't have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake," Gay was reported as saying when news broke that he had tested positive for a banned substance. Also testing positive is the fourth-fastest man in history, Asafa Powell of Jamaica. Four other Jamaican athletes also failed dope tests.
Powell tested positive for oxilofrine – an amphetamine chemically related to ephedrine, and originally developed to treat low blood pressure. What Gay tested positive for has not been officially revealed so far.
The positive results were on the basis of 'A' samples. Second 'B' samples remain to be tested. Neither athlete will compete at the world championships next month in Moscow.
Wilhelm Schänzer, director of Germany's official dope testing laboratory at the German Sports University in Cologne, says adulterated dietary supplements might be to blame.
David Cowan, head of the Drug Control Centre at King's College London, agrees. "Oxilofrine is known to be available in dietary supplements, especially those used mainly for weight loss," he says.
Schänzer and Cowan both say that oxilofrine is easy to detect, making it risky to take deliberately. Also, it is one of the weaker stimulants. "Unlike ephedrine, which all gets into the brain, oxilofrine is less good at crossing the blood-brain barrier, and so would be less of a stimulant," says Cowan.
Schänzer's lab analysed 634 supplements from 13 countries and found that 15 per cent contained banned substances. He says there have been other recent positive tests for oxilofrine. Following a bout in Germany on 1 February, the Australian boxer Sam Soliman was found to have taken oxilofrine, but blamed it on a supplement drink called "Black Bombs".
Into hyperdrive
Another case in 2010 involved Brazilian cyclist Flavia Oliveira, who blamed her positive test for oxilofrine on a dietary supplement called Hyperdrive 3.0+.
"It's definitely feasible for someone to inadvertently dope by taking a supplement that's either accidentally or deliberately doped," says Cowan. "Often labelling is poor and we have found illegal substances in supplements that are not labelled at all," he says.
Powell has protested his innocence. "I have never knowingly or wilfully taken any supplements or substances that break any rules," he said on Twitter. Gay put his result down to a "type of accident".
Greg Whyte of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK, who helped set up a scheme for screening supplements, says the appeal of taking stimulants like oxilofrine is that they give an instant response. He says that the latest cases show that the current testing system is too weak to deter cheating. "The prevalence of doping in the best athletes in the world continues to reinforce that they are unafraid of the system," he says.

Anyways, the 350z is a 6spd manual with 40k miles and a clean title in hand. The car books for 18k. It is a 3.5 liter V6, 300hp stock.
