Buses within the park
Admissions includes free buses to the different areas. They are useful for many of the longer distances within the park. Busses are also available for shorter distances but walking may be a better option.
Queues are very rare in China and most people disregard queues when there is one. They had people to enforce many of the queues in the park so its not too bad.
Bus stops are on the map you receive when you get your ticket. Most people take a bus to then end then work their way back. You may want to do the oposite to try to excape the crowds.

Experience on bus riding and flight
There are more than 10 scheduled flights during the peak season between Chengdu(Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport) and Jiuzhaigou(Jiuhuang Airport).
Full fare for economic class excludes taxes and fees is RMB980, 45 minutes jouney makes your trip to Jiuzhaigou more comfotable and convenient, although you have to spend another 2-2.5 hours on the way between Jiuhuang Airport to Jiuzhaigou National Park, or 1-1.5 hours between airport to Huanglong.
However, due to the climate in Jiuhuang area, most of the flights usually do not take off on time and you have to get ready for it in advance.
Taking an early morning flight on the day with sunshine is amazing! Gorgeous view while flying between golden mountains.
After landing at Jiuhuang Airport, you may go to Jiuzhaigou either by airport shuttle or by taxi.
Airport shuttle: no regular shedule and you may wait for half hour on your seat.
Fare: RMB90.00 Airport---Huanglong---Jiuzhaigou
Duration: Jiuhuang Airport--Huanglong 1.5 hours
Huanglong--Jiuzhaigou 3 hours
Jiuhuang Airport--Jiuzhaigou 2.5 hours
Taxi(or mini van):
Jiuhuang Airport--Huanglong--Jiuzhaigou: RMB300.00
Jiuhuang Airport--Jiuzhaigou: RMB200.00
Drivers always ask for more especially you look like a rich,or a foreigner.
Chengdu--Jiuzhaigou by bus:
8-9 hours ride makes a person exhausted. However, it goes along Minjiang(River), with amazing scenery especially in the autumn.
Avoid or be aware to take a ride in rainny season in the summer, for collapse and land slide happen regularly after the rain.
Where to take your bus from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou?
a.Chengdu Tourist Transportation & Service Center(Former Xin Nan Men Bus Station)
Schedule: 8:00am daily
Fare: RMB108.00 or RMB121.00 depends on bus
b.Chengdu Cha Dian Zi Bus Station(Former Xi Men Bus Station)
Schedule: 8:40am daily
Fare: RMB92.00
Tourists outside Sichuan Province can take plane or train to come to Chengdu first and then to arrive at the entrance to Jiuzhaigou either by joining in the trip organized by tourism agencies or by taking bus at the Xinnanmen Bus Station or Ximen Bus Station.
There are two lines from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou:
Line One: Chengdu-Dujiangyan-Wenchuan-Maoxian-Songpan-Jiuzhaigou. 435km in total and all being asphalt highway. (We went to Jiuzhaigou via this line. There were too many turnings at the last 150km. So you need an experienced driver and much more patience. ^_^ )
Line Two: Chengdu-Wenchuan-Lixian-grassland (hongyuan, ruoergai)-Chuanzhu Temple-Jiuzhaigou, 792km in total and most part being asphalt highway, small part being smooth ordinary highway.
PS: The Jiuzhaigou-Huanglong Airport will open to traffic in 2003. Maybe i will miss the long way journey to Jiuzhaigou by bus next time. :)
Busses from Chengdu
There are tours and busses from Chengdu.
Things change very fast in China so I provided and address to a comical web site about transportation to Jiuzhaigou. I googled (Jiuzhaigou chengdu bus) to find this one. It seems to have good info.

Autobús Verde - Green Bus
Para moverse dentro del parque hay unos autobuses ecológicos , que funcionan con gas y que los llaman Los Autobuses Verdes.
En temporada alta , es increíble como mueven con toda facilidad y comodidad a miles de personas
Salen del centro de visitas y van parando y recogiendo a la gente en diversas paradas en todos los recorridos del parque . Al principio te agobia la gente , pero poco a poco según te adentras en el parque va desapareciendo la gente , además de que por un lado de los ríos está la carretera y por el otro hay senderos por donde se puede pasear pacíficamente y con toda tranquilidad . Nos recomendaron que fuéramos primero hasta el final de la ruta que queda a la derecha y que desde allí bajáramos caminando y tomando el autobús cuando estuviéramos cansados ; fueron más de 18 Kms pero el paseo es muy suave , cuesta abajo y como sólo piensas en las maravillas que estás viendo te olvidas del cansancio
El autobús cuesta 90 Yuan cada día , pero dicen que en temporada baja el precio puede ser la mitad y que si subes andando los primeros cinco Kms. , a partir de aquí puedes coger los autobuses sin pagar
To move inside the park there are some ecological buses, which run on gas and are named the Green Bus .
During high season, they move thousands of people very easy without jams and very comfortably
You leave from the visitors centre and they are stopping and picking up people at various spots of the park. At first you feel overwhelmed by the people, but little by little as you go inside the park people disappears ; in addition to that in one side of the river is the road and in the other there are trails where you can walk peacefully and safely. We were recommended that we should go first to the right end of the route and from there we should start walking and taking the bus when we were tired; we did more than 18 km , but the treck is very smooth, downhill and as you are thinking in the wonders you see , you forget the fatigue
The bus costs 90 Yuan each day, but somebody told us that in the low season price can be half and that that if you walk the first five kilometers , from there you can take buses free , without paying
Come to Jiuzhaigou via the Grassland
You can tour Jiuzhaigou Via the grassland. On the way, you can sightsee many splendid views of the grassland and feel the exotic custom of the Tibetan-Qiang people. The first bend of the Yellow River, the flowery lakes, The Re'er grassland, the Moon Beach, the red Leaves of Miyaluo, the Qiang villages of Taoping.... all these beautiful natural and humanistic landscapes will deeply impress you.
Get the airport shuttle to Jiuzhaigou town
If you are flying to Jiuzhaigou, at the airport, save $$ by taking the airport shuttle. This is basically a 8-10 seater bus that will drop passengers at each accommodation/hotel. Cost only RMB45.00 per person. The journey to town is about 1.75-2hours due to the winding roads leading out from the airport and into town. Quite scenic too, I must say.
When you need to get back to the airport, you can also try the same shuttle service, make sure you get their name card+address on the earlier trip or to book ahead. If they are not going out on your choice of date/time, you can also book a taxi to the airport (not the yellow taxis, they charge higher). Use the one found on the same premise of the the Park entrance on the right hand side, next to the film processing centre. You will find this agency also does flight bookings online on-the-spot for you. Their fare is RMB180 per cab. They will come and pick you at your hotel at your choice of date/time. (Er, no direct public bus service that leaves for the airport from town, ok)

Go by fight
It is wise to go to JiuZhaiGou by fight. Because the bus really takes too long, and the road condition is quite poor. I suggest departure from ChengDu (SiChuan) to HuangLong Airport.
Then visit the views in HuangLong first. Then take bus/taxi from HuangLong to JiuZhaiGou. The distance is about 100km.

There is a new airport now in Juizhaigou. No need for a two days busride anymore! But the airport also meens, that there are many more tourists now coming to Jiuzhaigou. Though I can understand, that many people want to see the beautiful landscape, I also think, that too many people means, that the landscape is not as beautiful anymore.
A / To Jiuzhai Gou
A Jiuzhai Gou se puede ir desde Chengdu en autobús , son 580 Kms y se tardan once o doce horas .
Nosotros decidimos ir en avión desde Xian al aeropuerto de Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong que está en Chuanzhusi Town y la primera gran impresión la tuvimos ya a la llegada , pues el aeropuerto está rodeado de montañas nevadas y a una altura de 3.500m .
Para llegar al parque hay que desplazarse 80 kms , así que en el aeropuerto tomamos un taxi , que sale en cuanto se llenan las ocho o nueve plazas del mini bus y cuesta 45 Yuan por persona
Cuando llegas a Jiuzhai Gou te dejan en el hotel que has reservado . en nuestro caso no teníamos reservas , así que vimos las caras sorprendidas del conductor y de los otros viajeros .
Funcionó el Angel de la Guarda , y entre el coductor y un viajero ( luego amigo) Chino-Americano nos solucionaron el problema
You can go to Jiuzhai Gou from Chengdu by bus , there are 580 kilometers and it takes eleven or twelve hours.
We decided to go by plane from Xian to Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong airport located in Chuanzhusi Town and we had the first big impression already upon arrival because the airport is surrounded by snowcapped mountains and at a height of 3.500m.
To reach the park you must travel 80 kms , so we took a taxi in the airport ,that leaves as soon as they fill the eight or nine seats of the mini bus and it costs 45 Yuan per person
When you reach Jiuzhai Gou they leave you in the hotel you have reserved . In our case we had not any reservation , so we saw the impressed face of the the driver and all the passengers . On this case the Guardian Angels did their job and with the help of the driver and a Chinese American traveler ( latter a friend ) the problem was solved
Inside transportation
A day pass costs RMB90 available at the ticket vendor. You may get off or get on any shuttle at any stop inside the park.
It will be painful to most of visitors who choose to walk instead of purchasing a bus pass, a long way to walk before reaching the first scenery spot.
go by air is more convenient and safe
i have to correct that there is no train between jiuzhaigou and chengdu; only by bus or air.
however, you have to get ready for the delay if you take the plane; there are 2 routes to jiuzhaigou from chengdu, the usually one is chengdu-dujiangyan-yingxiu-wenchuan-maoxian-songpan-chuanzhusi-jiuzhaigou, another is via mianyan city- so called east route; the former with a lot of sightseeing but the latter is much safer.
you may take the bus at xinnanmen station from chengdu to jiuzhaigou daily or 3 buses available for jiuzhaigou at chadianzi bus station in the west of chengdu.
from jiuhuang airport to national park, you may either take the shuttle bus or taxi. there's no schedule for the shuttle which means usually you have to wait for full seated before departure. for taxi, it may cost you rmb 300.

Internal flight to JiuZhaoGou
YOu can take an internal flight from Chengdu to JiuZhaoGou by Air China. It is a much faster way then taking a coach as it save alot of the time. It take only 30min to reach JiuZhaoGou compared to 8hrs by coach and the flight is more confortable. Taking coach can be tiring as the road is not very smooth but a good point is you can see alot of beautiful sight along the way.
Fly or drive
Either fly an hour or so from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou or put up with a crazy 8 hour drive or more over treacherous gorges and hairpin routes. For the best of both worlds, we flew there and took an overnight drive back to Chengdu. The drive back was worth it for it's magnificent views of natural dams and lakes caused by a major earthquake in the 30s.
Airport at Songpan coming soon
In the near future, there will be an airport at the town of Songpan so that tourists can fly in directly. Now, the only way in is by a long journey through the mountains which some people may find it too tough.

Pope Francis continues to call for aid to the poor as the ordinary season ends and the lenten season begins. The Holy Father has set a goal to eradicate global hunger by distributing food more equitably around the world and he has called on all faithful Catholics to help. It's a call that can't be answered by a single second collection at Mass.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Pope Francis has called for a
global initiative to feed the world's poor. Noting that we produce
plenty of food, but distribute it scandalously, he has asked for us to
both pray and act to eradicate global hunger.
Parish churches have held second collections for the poor but an extra dollar in the basket at Mass hardly feeds the poor.
Pope Francis has made our mission simple - 'Prayer and Action'
PRAYER - Prayer is Powerful. Our global Catholic community should forever continue to pray. Lord hear our prayers.
ACTION - Will you give charitably? Will you allow your charity to cost you something so it can change you?
As the Vatican Almoner, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski explained, charity has to cost you something so it can change you. The Archbishop shared the story of a fellow clergyman who boasted of giving a few euros to a homeless man outside the Vatican, and explained how in spite of the gift, it wasn't genuine charity because the euros cost the cleric relatively nothing.
Many of us live in a prosperous nation in prosperous times, even though admittedly they may not feel prosperous -- it's the height of scandal that we are afraid to perform real charity. Instead, we list the litany of taxes and tithes that we make as we turn around to pay hundreds of dollars per month for a new car or a titanic mortgage payment to keep our McMansion afloat.
We leave Mass and visit restaurants to enjoy rich food, feeling good about ourselves after we tossed an extra dollar, or perhaps a five, into the special collection basket and call our deeds done. This is not how we have been asked to be by Christ and the Holy Father. We've been asked to do much more, something hard for most people.
We have been called by Pope Francis to be a poor church for the poor. The Church he speaks of is not simply the Vatican, or even your parish church building. He does not mean merely the priests and bishops. Pope Francis means you as well. We are called to make the sacrifice, this is not a mission for prelates in the Vatican, it is a mission for YOU.
To follow Jesus, we must be willing to part with all our Earthly possessions and to follow him. Just as Pope Francis eschews papal trappings and pretenses, so too we are called to turn away from the superficial trappings of modernity-the labels, the media screeds, the wasted food and wealth. Instead, we must focus on the poor among us.
Poverty is not unique to Africa or Asia or South America, but persists here in the United States. This is ironic because here is where we can best combat poverty. We have states in the union with economies larger than most of the world's countries. Yet, there are homeless on the streets, addicts in the alleys, hungry children trying to sleep as their stomach ties itself into knots with emptiness. Right here, in our country, perhaps in your very neighborhood.
All of these people, regardless of the choices and circumstances that placed each in their situation, are worthy of Christian love and respect. Pope Francis has washed the feet of prisoners. Is there a more powerful message he can send you?
Is there?
Christians around the world are very good at handing out Bibles to people, and praying for things, but many of the world's people don't need Bibles, and they can't eat prayers. They need food! Let us remember that the celebration of Mass is also an invitation to a meal. During that meal we are fed both spiritually and physically as we eat and drink of Christ Himself. This isn't symbolic -- it's far beyond that. It's literally true and this should have a profound impact on anyone who ponders it for more than a moment.
Sustenance of the body is virtually on par with sustenance of the soul, ergo the celebration of a feast at Mass.
We feast quite regularly in America, as our waistlines demonstrate. So what's our reply to Pope Francis? A dollar in the basket? Have we heeded the lesson of Archbisop Krajewski ? Have we appreciated the washing of prisoner's feet, or do we still blame the poor for their poverty and condemn their children to hunger?
Do we hear the message of Christ and expect to join Him at his table?
If the answer to this is yes, then our next step is quite plain. PLEASE ACT NOW! Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month. The starving need to eat TODAY.
This is about 'Prayer and Action.'
Catholic Online is teaming with your Catholic Voice Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to Catholic charity. We are providing a specific food product, Vita Meal packs, each of which can feed a child 30 meals.
Your purchase of a Vita Meal pack in the Catholic Online Boutique will feed another person several meals, perhaps as many as 30. It will probably cost you more than your Sunday donation, but that's the point. Charity has to cost you something so it can change you.
We believe that world hunger is a challenge that has a solution.
Together we are God's hands in the world, Pope Francis and Catholic Online with Your Catholic Voice Foundation invite you to join with us to support our projects and raise your Catholic voice to end world hunger through 'prayer and action'.
You prayed, now here's where you act.

ABSTRACT: We investigate the physicochemical properties of a novel imidazolium benzospiropyran derivative, SP(Im), in imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs). SP(Im) was prepared through alkylation of an imidazole to the photoswitchable compound and this derivative was characterised in imidazolium based ILs with increasing chain length to examine the stability of its merocyanine (MC) and spiropyran (SP) forms and compared to standard spiropyran, BSP. The rate of thermal relaxation of the new derivative is found to be about ten times faster than that of BSP as reflected in rates of 13.9 x 10(-3) s(-1) and 1.0 x 10(-3) s(-1) for SP(Im) and BSP, respectively, in [C(6)mIm][NTf(2)]. Since ILs are believed to form nano-structured domains it is proposed that the covalent attachment of the imidazolium side group of SP(Im) fully integrates the photoswitchable moiety into the non-polar region through side-chain association. In contrast, unbound BSP is relatively free to migrate between both polar and non-polar regions and the MC form is more readily stabilised by the IL charge via through space interactions and spontaneous movement to charged nano-domains leading to enhancement of the MC lifetime. At higher concentrations, rheological and transport properties were investigated to determine the impact of covalent attachment of the BSP fragment to an imidazolium cation on the ionic liquid structure. Ionic conductivity was found to decrease by up to 23% for SP(Im) with effects increasing with cation side-chain length. Unlike BSP, the photoswitching of the SP(Im) did not affect conductivity or viscosity values. This may indicate that the mobility of the photoswitchable compound and the resulting disruption of such movement may be critical to the control of this physical property.Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 07/2010; 12(26):7009-17.

ABSTRACT: Switchable materials have tremendous potential for application in sensor development that could be applied to many fields. We are focusing on emerging area of wireless sensor networks due to the potential impact of this concept in society. Spiropyran-based sensors are probably the most studied type of photoswitchable sensing devices. They suffer from many issues but photofatigue, insufficient selectivity and lack of sensitivity are probably the most important characteristics that hinder their wider application. Here, we are address these issues and demonstrate that covalent attachment of modified spiropyran into a polymeric film significantly reduces photodegradation. The observed signal loss after 12th cycle of switching between the spiropyran and merocyanine forms is only about 27% compared to the loss of 57% of the initial signal in an equivalent experiment based on non-immobilized spiropyran. This has enabled us to demonstrate at least five reversible cycles of detection of an ion of interest (in our case H+) with minimal signal loss. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the sensitivity can be increased by incorporation of additional binding groups in the parent spiropyran molecule. Using molecular modelling to calculate the relevant bond lengths as a measure of interaction between MC and H+, the calculated increase of H-bond strength is approximately an order of magnitude for a derivative containing a methoxy group incorporated in the o-position of the parent spiropyran in comparison to the equivalent unsubstituted phenol. This theoretical result was found to correspond very well with experimental observation. As a result, we have increased the sensitivity to H+ by approximately one order of magnitude.Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A Chemistry 08/2009; 206(2-3-206):109-115.

ABSTRACT: Novel modified spirooxazines (SOs) with additional chelating groups were synthesised and the crystal structure of one of these was determined. UV-vis spectroscopic characterization of the photoisomerization of the SO derivatives shows that the photochromic behaviour is altered with Zn(2+) coordination. In particular, addition of a group as in carboxylic acid 5 to the indole section of the SO increases the lifetime of the merocyanine Zn(2+) complex by 20-fold compared to the methylated indole 6.

ABSTRACT: Spiropyran derivatives have been immobilised on the surface of polystyrene microbeads using different immobilisation strategies. These functionalised polymeric beads can be reversibly switched between the colourless inactive spiropyran (SP) and highly coloured (purple) active merocyanine (MC) forms using low power light sources, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A UV LED (375 nm) is used for the SP /MC conversion, and a white LED (430–760 nm) for the reverse MC/ SP conversion. The photochromic behaviour of the coated beads has been characterised using different LEDs and reflection spectroscopy, employing optic fibres and an in-house-designed holder. Investigations into the metal-ion binding behaviour of the spiropyran-modified microbeads have shown that Cu2+ ions cause an appreciable colour and spectral change when brought into contact with the beads in the MC form, suggesting that a significant interaction is occurring. However, the Cu2+ ions can be completely expelled by photonic-conversion of the beads into the inactive SP form using a white LED. This sequence has been successfully repeated six times, suggesting that it is possible to cycle through activation of the functionalised beads from a non-binding to a binding form (SP / MC) using a UV LED, allow binding with Cu2+ ions to occur, and subsequently, expel the bound ions and regenerate the passive SP surface using a white LED. Other metals, such as calcium, do not cause any appreciable colour or spectral change over the same concentration range and in the presence of the same anion (final concentration 7.1 104 M nitrate salt in ethanol). The system is therefore self-indicating in terms of whether the active MC or inactive SP forms are present, and whether Cu2+ ions are bound to the MC form. In principle, therefore, these functionalised beads could form the basis of a photoswitchable stationary phase for metal ion binding and detection: irradiation of the stationary phase with UV LEDs causes retention of guest species due to the presence of the MC form, while subsequent exposure to white LEDs causes release of guest species into the mobile phaseJournal of Materials Chemistry 10/2008; 18(42).

ABSTRACT: Here, we discuss an interesting concept that brings an added flexibility in chemo/bio sensing. We present system that can be switched photonically between two states, only one of which exhibits ion-binding behaviour. The system is based on molecular photoswitch spiropyran, which is probably the most studied compound exhibiting above characteristics. Upon irradiation with UV light the passive spiropyran (SP) molecule undergoes a heterocyclic ring cleavage that results with the formation of the merocyanine (MC) which is zwitterionic form capable of ion binding. In contrast to the uncharged and colourless spiropyran form, the merocyanine form is highly charged and can be utilized as ligand for other charged species. Moreover, it is strongly coloured, and the colour tells us which form is present. In addition it provides interesting information about the immediate environment of the merocyanine binding site (e.g. polarity, presence of certain ions etc.). In this work, we present a SP-based system in which SP is immobilized and protected within a polymeric matrix. Such system may be used for detection of metal ions in highly polar solvents, e.g. water. The response characteristics and kinetics of MC-Cr3+ complex formation and SP-MC switching within the polymer matrix have been determined. Simple light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been employed for photoswitching and colorimetric measurement of SP-MC switching and MC-Cr3+ complex formation as light sources and detectors.10/2007

ABSTRACT: In science, control of interactions at the molecular scale is the ultimate goal, as this in turn determines all macroscale behaviour. Using molecular-switches based on spiropyran-like molecules, it is possible to produce surfaces whose physico- chemical properties can be controlled under external photonic stimulation [1]. It has been demonstrated that low-power light sources such as UV and green LEDs can switch spiropyran-modified surfaces between an inactive spiro (SP) form and an active merocyanine (MC) form which is highly coloured, and possesses a phenolate binding site for metal guest species such as Cu2+ [2], Co2+ [1]. Similarly, aminoacids interact with the MC form through complementary zwitterionic charges [3]. The amino acid and metal ion 'guests' can be subsequently expelled using a green LED to reform the original inactive SP [4]. These processes have been observed in liquid phase experiments, but recently, in order to generate smart adaptive surfaces based on spiropyran photochromic moieties, we have covalently bound spiropyran derivatives to the surface of polystirene microspheres.Conference proceedings: ...

Article: The Selective Preparation of Partial Cone O-Aryl Calix[4]arene Ethers from 1,3-Dimethoxycalix[4]arene: A new Platform for the Preparation of Non-Aggregated Dyes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a new direct route for the selective preparation of novel partial cone O-aryl ether calix[4]arenes to be used as new platforms for the preparation of non-aggregated dyes. These partial cone conformers have the aromatic substituents lying within the calix[4]arene annulus via the upper rim.Tetrahedron Letters 01/2007; 48(4):681-684.

ABSTRACT: Two homochiral tripodal receptors were characterised by X-ray crystallography, the first examples for this class of imidazolium receptor. These receptors were also screened for anion recognition. Both receptors demonstrated selectivity towards chloride and bromide with binding constants as high as 16,000.Tetrahedron Letters 01/2007; 48(1):125-128.

Article: Chloride selective calix[4]arene optical sensor combining urea functionality with pyrene excimer transduction.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A neutral 2-site chloride selective compound has been developed (3), based on a 1,3-alternate tetrasubstituted calix[4]arene providing a preorganized supramolecular scaffold. The resultant supramolecular cavity is among the first to combine urea functional groups bridged with single methylene spacers to pyrene moieties. It combines a naturally and synthetically proven H-bonding system with the elegant ratiometric fluorescent signaling properties of an intramolecular pyrene excimer system, triggered by conformational changes upon anion coordination. The excimer emission of 3 is quenched, with a simultaneous rise in the monomer emission solely by the chloride anion among a wide variety of anions tested. 3 has an association constant of 2.4 x 10(4) M(-1) with chloride. The suitability and advantages of ratiometric optical sensor compounds like 3 for use in practical sensor devices is discussed. 3 has an LOD of 8 x 10(-6) M with chloride in acetonitrile-chloroform (95:5 v/v). A dynamic fluorescence study revealed a response time of < 3 s. A recently developed and simple HPLC-based purification method complimented conventional organic work up methods to yield pure product.Journal of the American Chemical Society 08/2006; 128(26):8607-14.

ABSTRACT: Emerging technologies create new application fields but few of them require that we completely rethink our approach in preparation and characterization of sensors. The vision of internet scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires the deployment of enormous numbers of sensors. This necessarily means that the cost of each sensor must be brought down significantly if this vision is to be realized. An ideal solution for this problem would be a sensor that does not interact with its environment in any way until there is a need for measurement. Upon the measurement, the sensor's surface is completely regenerated and returned into the state as before the measurement. This step is critical as it ensures that the measurement did not any effect on the sensor hence no calibration is necessary. In our work, we use compounds that indeed can be switched between the active and passive state using light. Most commonly used compounds are so called spiropyrans (SP) and spirooxazines (SO). Here we show the recent advance in preparation of reversible, light-modulated sensors using surface immobilised SP/SO derivatives. A further attractive property of these materials is that they are inherently self-indicating through striking colour changes that enable the state to be easily determined (active vs. passive), and the presence of a bound guest to be detected. These spectral changes enable a range of self-diagnostic tests to be incorporated that enable binding events to be controlled at the surface interface, and for real binding events to be distinguished from artefacts arsing from changes in light intensity, or photobleaching of the active component. We have identified most notable problems for utilization of these compounds in "calibrationless" sensors such as relatively weak binding constants, photodegradation, and unfavourable kinetics of switching between the active and passive state and we demonstrate our approach in solving these problems.

Game 3 Mariners vs. Astros Preview Time for the series clincher! The biggest matchup thus far this season. The turning point! Have I built it up enough? Half of the Houstons victories have come against Seattle. The Astros look to beat the visiting Mariners for the fourth time this season when the teams conclude a three-game series on Wednesday. Mariners LH Joe Saunders (1-2, 4.50 ERA) vs. Astros RH Lucas Harrell (1-2, 4.98) Mariners Kyle Seager is 17-for-45 during a career-long 12-game hitting streak. To win the M's need to get into that bullpen again. Houston starters have failed to last beyond the fifth inning in seven of its last eight games.

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Hostess Brands (Rock Springs, WY) in April 2011.
First began by applying online via hostess brands.com Then submitting information to create an account. Then wait for recruiter to contact you. Next set up first interview with time date and location after phone screen. Next have second interview with field human resource manager. The next interview was with the regional manager.
Interview Questions
- What is your expected salary Answer Question
Negotiations happened during interview
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day – interviewed at Hostess Brands.
Interview process included driving down to the bakery in Illinios, spent time with the Human Resources Manager and other hiring officials. Had to present a valid drivers liscence and was asked typical questions that an HR official would ask. It was quite a few years ago for me, so I am a bit fuzzy on the details.
Helpful (1)No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Hostess Brands in December 2011.
Asked detailed sales questions...how you would approach new customers.
Interview Questions
- What was your most difficult time with a former employee? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Hostess Brands (Baltimore, MD) in November 2010.
Review your resume with the branch manager. You must ask all questions about pay, benefits,training
etc. If you do not ask
you will never know. Too much probing just to get information an employer normally discloses at the interview. Next interview you must "role play" a sales pitch to showy your skills.Long waits because Mgr. does multiple interviews at the same time.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about yourself 1 Answer
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Hostess Brands in January 2009.
At the time I interviewed, I went through 1 with just me and the DSM, and the next with me 2 DSMs and there boss the state mngr. I went through a 3 week process.
What I see now these guys come in with blue jeans and t shirts, I-View with a DSM, and a week later they throw them on a route and wonder why they quit ,and/or cant finish the route.
It seems there looking for a warm body that can pass a drug test.
Interview Questions
- If you witness one of your fellow employees doing wrong, would you tell managment? 1 Answer
negotiate? What, You better take what they offer, and that tends to change to the negitive over time.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took a week – interviewed at Hostess Brands in April 2009.
The first interview was more or less a casual conversation covering everything from prior work experience to sports and cars, before leaving I filled out an employment application as well as some other forms and awaited contact, after 2 days I returned to do a formal interview with the area manager and the HR department which entailed a series of "what if" and "tell me a time when" type of canned questions after which compensation was discussed. After the second interview I was given a timed computer based problem solving test that was roughly 100 questions which wasn't too difficult, I was offered the job a couple of days later.
Interview Questions
- What makes you the best cantidate for this job? What do you have to offer that others do not? 1 Answer
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at Hostess Brands.
When I was hired back in 1988 there was not much of an interview process
Interview Questions
- None Answer Question
There was no negotiation
- Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Hostess Brands.
Applied online. Typical bureaucratic process. Was very difficult to get a hold of them after the interview. They were very stand offish. Eventually, much to my surprise, I had heard nothing from them after waiting for a very long time. I would not really recommend them because it was difficult to get a hold of contacts and they were unreliable in the process.
Interview Questions
- What was a process you invented that improved your last employer? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Hostess Brands (Tampa, FL) in August 2010.
I applied online through there company website. I received a phone interview about a week later, than I was called into an interview by the District Sales Manager.
Interview Questions
- There was not any difficult questions. Answer Question
There was none.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person – interviewed at Hostess Brands.
When I was hired on with Hostess, you needed to know someone in order to get in. Many people got in either through family, or through friends. Some people who had been within some aspect of the business (whether it be cake, bread or beverage sales) made their own way in. No difficult in the interview process, mostly do you think you can stand and bend and lift all day.
Interview Questions
- The job was not a technical job and the interview questions that were most in depth asked about math. I.e. There are 9 loaves of bread on a tray, 28 trays on a rack. How many loaves of bread; answer 252 Answer Question
Union contract . The New Hostess no longer is unionized

Our Patchwork Nation: The Surprising Truth about the "Real" America (Paperback)
A provocative counterargument to the blue/red divide that illuminates our country's multidimensional political spectrum.
In a climate of culture wars and economic uncertainty, the media have often reduced America to a simplistic schism between red and blue states. In response to that oversimplification, journalist Dante Chinni teamed up with political geographer James Gimpel, using on-the-ground reporting and statistical analysis to get past generalizations and probe American communities in depth.
Looking at the data, they recognized that the country breaks into twelve distinct types of communities, whose differences and specific concerns shed light on the subtle distinctions in how Americans vote, shop, and otherwise behave. Showcasing personal interviews, combined with facts and statistics, "Our Patchwork Nation" offers a brilliant new way to examine the issues that matter most to our communities, and to our nation.
About the Author
Dante Chinni, correspondent for the Patchwork Nation project, has been a journalist for over two decades, serving stints at "Newsweek", and the "Christian Science Monitor".
James Gimpel is a professor of government at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the editor of "American Politics Research", a scholarly journal specializing in the empirical study of American political behavior and institutions.
Praise For…
"Brings a fascinating insight into what makes Americans different these days."

Heyy Never thought karela could look so beautiful Will definitely try this recipe!
06/14/2007 - 02:56
This is a great recipe for gourmets. Does your son tries this or he sticks to potatoes?
07/14/2007 - 23:38
I am growing Karela in my garden so appreciate this recipe! I often just cut in thick slices and stuff it for soups so this is a nice change. Thank You! We love the flavour-bitter is great especially with chiles.
08/08/2007 - 21:15
After you slit after cutting off the ends do you leave the seeds in or do you take these out ?
08/08/2007 - 21:39
Karela is quite good for health especially for blood sugar! Also known as bitter melon or in Sanskrit, karela, this spiny plant which has a bitter taste helps regulate blood sugar levels, thus is used liberally amongst diabetic people. Its antidiabetic property is due to the presence of gurmarin, a polypeptide which has a chemical structure similar to that of bovine insulin. The presence of lectins help metabolize lipids, whereas alkaloids such as momordicine can treat blood diseases, scabies, itching, psoriasis, ringworm, fungal diseases, eye complications, hypertension, neuritis, defective metabolism of carbohydrates. It also demonstrates hypocholesteroemic activity and is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C and minerals such as iron.
08/30/2007 - 10:20
thanx..:)....this is the first time i hav come across karela recipe using tomato....will try it when i make karela next
01/03/2010 - 22:53
This recipe looks fantastic! But...I don't have any dry mango powder. Can I sub something? I do have some mango pulp. Could I add some of that?
03/29/2010 - 15:17
I appreciate your bitter gourde recipe and I will try this recipe today.
03/29/2010 - 15:21
Hi Sonali! The recipe is really tasty. I never thought that anybody could make such a nice menu with the sabji like bitter gourde!

Una buona vacanza
Siamo appena ritornati da una settimana di vacanza al Rosa Beach. L'hotel era impeccabile, gli asciugamani e le lenzuola venivano cambiati ogni giorno, il cibo era nella norma, anche se non eccezionale, ma la scelta era ogni giorno molto ampia e non ci � mai capitato lo stesso pasto due volte. La birra costava pochissimo ma gli alcolici erano esosi: 6 sterline per un vodka e coca...conviene portarsi una bottiglia da casa (senza farsi scoprire, per�). Il vino aveva un prezzo pi� ragionevole: 7 sterline a bottiglia. Non c'era nulla nei dintorni e abbiamo dovuto accontentarci dell'animazione, che non era il massimo. I ragazzi lavoravano, per�, sodo ed erano felici che gli ospiti partecipassero alle varie attivit�. Non c'erano molti Britannici, gli ospiti erano perlopi� Francesi e Russi. Il personale era molto gentile ma non parlava poco inglese. I taxi non costavano molto, ma definite sempre il prezzo prima di salire. L'addetto alla security vi dir� quanto dovreste pagare. Sousse � una vera e propria esperienza e le persone del posto cercheranno di trascinarvi nei negozi: � un po' un incubo. Se siete in cerca di una vacanza tranquilla, lontano dal trambusto, questo � l'hotel che fa per voi, ma non aspettatevi un'area ristorante, troverete piuttosto una sala bar, ma il cibo era impeccabile e fresco, con un'ottima variet�. La colazione era un po' deludente, non c'erano uova e pancetta, solo formaggio e pane e tante marmellate...niente di grave, comunque, solo, non c'era quello che piaceva a me. Il soggiorno al Rosa Beach � stato, comunque, stupendo.
Highly recommended
The Hotel is welcoming, clean, the staff very pleasant. We classed it as a three star, more than a four star. The Buffet food selection is good and faclities excellent. This is a highly recommended holiday. We booked through last minute.com (First Choice) and the organisers were very helpful. Ok, not too many British use the Hotel, but who goes abroad to find British people. The few we found in the hotel were great company, as were many of the French and Belgians. Haggling in the market towns of Monastir and Sousse is too say the least, 'interesting'. Expect to pay perhaps a sixth to a tenth of what they originally ask for, but the haggling is done in good spirit. Great deals on all leather goods, shoes, bags jackets etc. As soon as you are spotted as British, expect the remark "Lovely Jubbly", Can get a little wearing, but it's part of their fun and the fun of bartering. If you don't like being touched and guided by the owners into their shops to 'just look', don't go to the markets!! We only went to the resort for a week and came back home with good memories and would certainly go again. One word of warning, Try to get a room away from the disco (next door). It does go on until 4.30 am (6.00am on Saturdays) but after we changed rooms from day 2, didn't hear a sound. As a last minute holiday, it was inexpensive and not dissapointing.
Sehr empfehlenswert
Das Hotel hat uns mit offenen Armen empfangen. Es ist sehr sauber und die Angestellten sind sehr nett. Wir w�rden es eher als ein Drei Sterne Hotel einstufen, nicht als ein Vier Sterne Hotel. Die Auswahl am B�fett ist gut und die anderen Einrichtungen exzellent. Ich kann einen Urlaub hier sehr empfehlen.
Wir haben den Urlaub last minute �ber das Internet gebucht. Das Hotel hat einige britische, franz�sische und belgische G�ste.
In den St�dten Monastir und Sousse ist es sehr interessant auf den M�rkten zu handeln. Ihr sollte erwarten vielleicht 1/6 oder 1/10 vom "Originalpreis" zu zahlen. Das Handeln findet allerdings sehr gut gelaunt statt.
Es gibt tolle Schn�ppchen bei Ledersachen, Schuhen, Taschen und Jacken.
Falls ihr es nicht m�gt von Gesch�ftsbesitzern angetatscht zu werden und "sanft" in ihr Gesch�ft gef�hrt zu werden um "zu gucken", dann geht nicht auf die M�rkte.
Wir waren hier nur f�r eine Woche, aber w�rden gerne wiederkommen.
Eine kleine Warnung: Versucht ein Zimmer zu bekommen, das nicht in der N�he der Diskothek ist. Die ist bis 4 Uhr morgens unter der Woche und am Samstag bis 6 Uhr morgens auf. Wir waren direkt neben der Disko, aber haben dann am n�chsten Tag ein neues Zimmer erhalten und nichts mehr geh�rt. Dieser Urlaub war nicht teuer und definitiv keine Entt�uschung.
Un hôtel pas si mal (mais pas d'Anglais)
Nous avons s�journ� � l'h�tel Rosa Beach pendant une semaine, c'�tait bien mais sa client�le est en majeure partie fran�aise et allemande (il y a peu d'Anglais). Le personnel est amical sauf le manager du bar de la plage qui est horrible. La nourriture est correcte mais le petit d�jeuner n'�tait pas terrible et je ne suis pas quelqu'un de difficile; si je dois retourner dans cet h�tel j'emporterai avec moi des c�r�ales pour mon petit d�jeuner, les toasts sont terribles tout comme leurs oeufs brouill�s ou bouillis, leurs g�teaux ou leurs plats a base de riz.
L'h�tel est joli et propre et tr�s proche de l'a�roport. Nous avions r�serv� sur Internet et ils demandaient 20 livres pour le transfert. Nous sommes d�j� all�s 4 fois en Tunisie alors nous savions que l'h�tel �tait proche de l'a�roport, nous avons donc pris un taxi et nous avons donn� un billet de 5 livres au chauffeur il avait l'air tr�s content et cela a pris 3 min, mais mettez vous d'accord sur le prix d�s le d�part.
L'h�tel est sur la plage. Je retournerai dans cet h�tel car le prix n'est vraiment pas cher, nous avons pay� 180 livres pour 7 nuits en demi-pension, mais je pr�f�rerais aller au Royal Kenz car il y avait beaucoup d'enfants au Rosa jusqu'� 10h du soir et plus, ce que nous n'avons pas vraiment appr�ci� mais si vous avez des enfants et vous voulez partir une semaine au soleil pour pas cher et que vous pouvez l'obtenir sur Internet, allez-y !!
Not a bad hotel but no british
we stayed for one week in rosa beach the hotel was fine but catered for french and german as hardly any british stay there, the staff friendly except for horrible manager of beach bar,food ok but struggled with breakfast and in not a fussy person,if i stayed there again i would take cereal with me as toast a big hassle or its scrambled egg boiled egg cake or rice stuff,hotel nice and clean very close to airport, we booked online and they wanted �20 transfer, we have been to tunisia 4 times so knew how close hotel was and jumped into a taxi gave driver �5 note he was very happy and we got there in 3 minutes but settle on price before you get in .its right on beach, i would go there again for very cheap week away we paid �180 for 7 nights half board,but id rather go to royal kenz as rosa was FULL of kids up til 10pm and later which we didnt like much but if youve got kids and want a cheap week in sun and can get it online go for it !!
Tunisia is great, this hotel isn't
We booked our holiday to Rosa Beach Hotel on the Internet and admittedly it was a cheap booking. We booked after reading a number of reviews that positioned this Hotel as a 4 star. Being a seasoned traveller I realised that 4 star for North Africa would not be of a standard that you would get in other more developed countries, however, nothing could prepare me for what can be described only as a Butlins holiday camp environment with good weather. More on that later.
On arrival we got a Taxi from the Airport to the Hotel or though, to be honest, you could easily have walked as it is literally accross the road and as such the Hotel has more aircraft flying arround it than mosquitoes. In the Hotel reception we were greeted with the news that the 2 rooms we had booked were not available and that we only had a single family room until they could sort it out the next day. Not much we could do about this as the Hotel was fully booked. We were escorted to our room by the Bellboy through what can only be described as a stinking cestpit of a corridoor which was pitch black, probably to hide the corpses of the previous guests, who would rather kill themselves than stay out the full term of their holiday. It stank of rot and damp.
The following day we were moved to a suite with a seaview and although this was better it still was not what had been booked but we were content with this as we intended to spend as little time in the room as possible. We were also offered a free upgrade from half board to full board and decided to turn this down having sampled the food in the restaurant the previous night. It can best be described as adequate. The service is good by friendly staff but this is not enough for what claims to be a 4 star hotel.
There is a reception bar area that offers a selection of drinks from local beer to your basic spirits. Not a great selection and they have no idea how to make a cocktail. We ordered a Pina Colada which tasted nothing like the afor mentioned cocktail. The service in the bar area is at best slow.
There is a barbeque grill restarant on the beach which serves basic food such as pizza and burgers. I would recomment the daily fish which was ok but again the service is hampered by the fact that there is only one waiter who seems to know what he is doing.
Back to the Butlins analogy. The Hotel seems to cater for the type of guest that finds the Birdy song and Agadoo the height of contemporary musical acheivement in the last century. If you are the type of person who enjoys Karaoke and would like to learn the "Hotel dance" so that you can perform it every night while dressed in your Union Jack shorts then this is the place for you.
You will be bombarded by a constant dirge of 70's and 80's music that is on a loop and it will drive you mad until it is interrupted for the daily practice session of the "Hotel Dance". Every evening you will have the opportunity to watch the animation team "entertain" you. This is comical to say the least as they try to do a rendition of Riverdance followed by the "Hotel Dance".
The only postives about this Hotel are that Taxi fares away from it are cheap. It will cost you �5 to travel to the local Town of Souse, where you can find a number of excellent restaurants. Le Surfin is fantastic for seafood and Le 3 Dauphins is excellent for continental and local cuisine although sitting outside is not recommended as it is next to the main road.
Further afield you can visit Port El Kantouai for about �10 by Taxi, which is a tourist trap with a selection of reasonable restaurants arround a central fountain.
The Hotel offers a small selection of watersports on a beach which is filthy. At one point I stood on a piece of broken glass on the beach.
I would give this Hotel a 2 star rating and although I would visit Tunisia again I certainly would not stay at this Hotel. I cannot recommend highly enough that you do not make the mistake of visiting this Hotel if you are planning to visit Tunisia. This place is only for the hardcore Benedorm brigade.
Unas buenas vacaciones
Acabamos de volver de una estancia de una semana en el complejo tur�stico Rosa Beach, el hotel est� inmaculado, cambian las toallas y las camas todos los d�as, la comida est� bien, nada del otro mundo, pero con mucha variedad de elecci�n cada d�a, nunca comimos lo mismo dos veces. La cerveza es muy barata pero los licores son muy caros, unas 6 libras (9 euros) por un vodka con coca cola, vale la pena comprar una botella antes de ir (pero que no te pillen). El vino sal�a a 7 libras (10 euros) la botella. No hab�a ning�n sitio en los alrededores, as� que hay que contentarse con el entretenimiento del hotel, que no es el mejor, pero los chicos trabajan muy duro y quieren que participes. No hay muchos ingleses all�, la mayor�a son franceses y rusos. La gente es muy amable pero no hablan ingl�s muy bien. Los taxis son baratos pero siempre hay que fijar el precio antes de subirte a uno. El tipo de seguridad te dir� cu�nto debes pagar. Sousse es toda una experiencia y los lugare�os intentar�n meterte en las tiendas, que es como una pesadilla. Si quieres unas vacaciones tranquilas sin bullicio, �ste es el hotel para ti, no te esperes que tenga un ambiente de restaurante, es m�s como un caf�-bar, pero no se puede uno quejar de la comida, hay una gran variedad y siempre est� fresca, el desayuno decepciona un poco, sin bacon ni huevos, s�lo queso y pan y mucho jam�n, pero es mi gusto personal. Lo pas� muy bien en el Rosa Beach.
Excellet, mais peut mieux faire
Mon s�jour s'est d�roull� du 09 juillet au 23 juillet 2006.
J'ai particuli�rement apr�ci� :
- Le fait qu'il ne soit pas loin de l'a�roport, pas de long trajet sur les routes tunisiennes esquint�es
- L'accueil � l'h�tel
- la gentillesse des employ�s, toujours polis
- Le service de chambre, rien � signaler
- La restauration, bien pr�sent�e, vari�e et de qualit�
- le patron qui surveillait constamment tout, jusqu'� la propret�e de la plage
- Les activit�s fournies par l'�quipe Animation actuelle,
- Particuli�rement, Le 14 juillet ou les Fran�ais ont �t� tr�s � l'honneur, �tant Fran�ais, �� m'a beaucoup touch�,
- d�coration partout de drapeaux fran�ais
- toute la journ�e, il y a eu des joutes inter-nationalit�s
- Le soir, une animation, � m�me la plage puis l' entr�e gratuite � la boite de nuit
- ma chambre �tait c�t� mer, peut �tre est que cel� expliquait que je ne faisais pas attention aux avions qui d�collaient � 2 kms ? bien que rares la nuit
J'ai moins aim� :
- le fait que pour avoir de la lumi�re ou laisser le climatiseur allum� dans la chambre, il faille laisser la cl� dans un boitier-contact. Ce syst�me, s'il emp�che aux gens d'oublier d'�teindre les lumi�res quand ils partent � un effet pervers qui prive de courant la personne qui reste dans la chambre. Par exemple, j'allais prendre le petit d�jeuner bien avant ma femme qui �tait couch�e et j'�tais oblig� de prendre la cl� pour ne pas la r�veiller. Mais si entre temps elle se r�veillait, elle n'avait pas de lumi�re dans les toilettes.
- C'est le seul point d'ombre que j'ai d�cell� et j'esp�re qu'il vont y r�fl�chir

Good Holiday
Just returned from a weeks stay in Rosa beach, the hotel is spotless the towels and beds are cleaned everyday, the food is ok nothing too flash, but a lot of choice on a daliy basis never had the same meal twice. Beer is really cheap but any spirits are very expensive �6 for a vodka and coke, it is worth while buying a bottle before you go. ( dont get caught though). Wine worked out at �7.00 a bottle. Nothing at all around so you are stuck with the entertainment, which is not the best but the kids worked really hard, and like you to join in. Not many english people there mostly French and Russian. People are really friendly but do not speak much english. Taxi's are cheap but always arrange a price before you get in. The guy on security will tell you how much you should pay. Sousse is an experience and the locals will try and get you into the shops which is a bit of an nightmare.
If you want a quiet holiday away from the hussle this is the hotel for you, don't expect it to be restaurant enviroment as it is more like a cafe, but you can not fault the food, you have excellent choice and it is always fresh, Breakfast was a little disappointing no bacon and eggs only Cheese and bread and lots of jams, but that is my personal choice. I had a wonderful time in the Rosa Beach.

Best Ever Italian Meatballs
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
This is a recipe I was given from a lady from Italy. She told me that the secret of mouth watering meatballs is not to cook them before adding them to the sauce, as cooking them in the sauce will not only add more flavor to the sauce, but also to the meatballs. What I do is make these a day ahead of time, with my sauce. Then, I refrigerate it over-night, which makes any fat rise to the top and harden, where it is easily removed. This process also allows all of the flavors to "marry" together, making it especially delicious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 lb ground pork
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3⁄4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
- 1⁄3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons anise seeds (optional)
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Shape into small meatballs.
- Drop the meatballs into simmering sauce. It is important not to stir the sauce for at least 25 minutes. This will allow the meatballs to firm up enough as not to break up in the sauce. Make sure your burner is low enough so that your sauce does not scorch during this process.
- Continue simmering until sauce reaches desired consistency and meatballs are cooked through.
Most Helpful
This recipe is amazing. The only thing I found not to my likening was the bell pepper. It gave it extra zest but with the onion garlic and bread crumbs it made the meatballs too chunky. Many people skipped the anise but I found that this ingredient is neccessary to combat the spicy-ness that the cayenne pepper gave. The only other thing I would do is use lean ground beef and pork because much of the fat is left in the sauce since there is no way to drain the oil. I didn't mind the fatty sauce but it make it look orange instead the traditional red of tomato sauce. But that's the brilliance of these recipes is that some of the weird things work for some and others not. It is then up to you to make the final touches to make it your "World's Best".
Phenomenal! I am usually weary of recipes preceded by 'the best' but this one is no joke. This is going to be my go to recipe for meatballs. The only two things I omitted were the anise and the green pepper but only because I forgot.
These meatballs live up to their name. I did not add anise NOR did I add the green peppers, but they were the best meatballs I have ever made and I have been making meatballs for 25 years. I will never use another recipe.

Jim James, TVOTR Members, Mac McCaughan Write Music for Art Show
By Ryan Dombal on June 4, 2010 at 2:20 p.m. EDT
From September 2, 2010 through February 6, 2011, The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina hosts a new exhibition called "The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl", which aims to "explore the culture of vinyl records within the history of contemporary art [through] sound work, sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, photography, video, and performance."
Along with works by the likes of Laurie Anderson and David Byrne and a "16-foot canoe made of red 45-rpm records," "The Record" features a new multi-media piece by visual artist Xaviera Simmons called "Thundersnow Road". It includes photographs of characters posing in various North Carolina landscapes as well as accompanying songs inspired by each photo. Simmons got some heavy hitters to write the original tunes, including My Morning Jacket's Jim James (as Yim Yames), TV On the Radio members Kyp Malone (as Rain Machine), Tunde Adebimpe (as Prolex with Ryan Sawyer), and Jaleel Bunton, along with Superchunk's Mac McCaughan collaborating with Les Savy Fav's Harrison Haynes, and more.
Watch TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone Cover the Talking Heads
By Tom Breihan on May 21, 2010 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
"Our Show With Elliot Aronow" is a sort of live variety internet show that explores the downtown New York art world. Recently, TV on the Radio/Rain Machine man Kyp Malone, whose beard has only gotten fuller and more awe-inspiring since TVOTR went on a break, stopped by to cover the Talking Heads' immortal, longing hymn "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)", with the band Harsh Toke backing him up. Malone's take is pretty faithful to the original, though it's interesting to hear a singer with a voice as muscular as Malone's interpreting David Byrne's freaked-out bleat.
Watch video of Malone singing the song below. And just for shits and giggles, you can also check out the Talking Heads playing the song in Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense-- the performance that includes Byrne's famous lamp-dance.

Director Petro's video for Rain Machine's fiery blues jam "Give Blood" starts out simply enough: TV on the Radio member and Rain Machine main man Kyp Malone rocking the living fuck out of a clean, well-appointed hotel room. But as the video rolls along, we come to find out that Malone is stashing half the population of Williamsburg under his bed, as well as a succession of freaky stop-motion creatures.

Dum Dum Girls [Mercury Lounge; 8 p.m.]
It was a crappy night in New York, with rain pouring all over the city and flooding the streets and gutters so that every passing car sprayed water over the sidewalk. The subway was backed up, resulting in grueling commutes. It was the fifth night of CMJ, and even the most hardened festivalgoers were beginning to show signs of fatigue. But as soon as I walked in and heard the Dum Dum Girls playing the Sub Pop/Hardly Art Showcase at the Mercury Lounge, all the hassles slipped away.
No Age, Jay Reatard to Open for Pixies

We wanted it, and we're about to get it: the Pixies' Doolittle tour will hit America in November. And if it wasn't enough to see the alt-rock originators play their 20-year-old classic album in its entirety, the band has now announced the tour's full lineup of opening bands, and it is no joke.
Last week, we told you that Rain Machine, the solo project of TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone, would open some of the U.S. dates. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Depending on what city you're in, you might also see Bad Lieutenant, the new band from former New Order frontman Bernard Sumner. Or No Age. Or Jay Reatard. Or Mew. Or Black Gold.

Take Cover: Rain Machine
By Ryan Dombal on October 8, 2009 at 4:20 p.m. EDT
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists.
With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them. In this installment, we check in with Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio, Iran), who drew the fantastical cover for his new solo album as Rain Machine. "There's a highly psychedelic aspect to African cultures that's largely untapped as a creative inspiration today," he explained. Also: He was apparently not high when he created the sleeve. Believe it.

Now there's another song available from the LP. "Smiling Black Faces" features Malone heading in a more reflective, political direction as he condemns the infamous 2006 shooting of Sean Bell by a team of NYPD officers in the song. Listen to it below:

TV on the Radio guitarist-singer Kyp Malone's solo project has a name (Rain Machine), an amusingly psychedelic (and NSFW) cover, a sufficiently raggedy first single ("Give Blood"), and a September 22 release date for his debut LP brought to you by Anti-. But that's...not...all. He's touring behind the album, too. The month long North American trek starts in Malone's home base of Brooklyn on the eve of the record's release, September 21.

The first wave of new HCV drugs arrived in the form of two protease inhibitors, boceprevir (Victrelis) and telaprevir (Incivek), which were approved in the U.S. in 2011 for the treatment of HCV genotype 1. They have not yet been approved specifically for HIV-coinfected patients, however -- and Cox suggested that their day in the sun may be setting.
In clinical trials, boceprevir and telaprevir have both been shown to dramatically increase HCV treatment success rates in therapy-naive, HIV-coinfected patients. But they still must be taken with interferon, and both drugs have been found to exacerbate the adverse effects seen among patients taking interferon-based therapies. Between those sobering data and extensive drug-interaction concerns with HIV medications, "it's not easy to take these medications," Cox said.

or this one that seems to state that the two are not compatible in that way:
