Sunday, May 24, 2009
I was brought up to be the consummate girl: older sister was the future doctor (or, more accurately, Doctor, with a capital "D"), the other two were boys, and that left only me. I followed mom through Sears and J.C. Penny when she decided to go clothes shopping, I accompanied her to the grocery store, I was assigned the household tasks of dusting and vacuuming, drying the dishes and most everything else that needed to be done. I wore ribbons in my long, albeit unruly hair and was given dolls on my birthday. Yet, as much as I was truly a girl, scared of cockroaches and snakes, adoring department store clothing departments and looking for beautiful jewelry at the yearly local antique fair, not even minding dusting while singing along to the 5th Dimension, I was never really a true girlie girl.
True, I loved collecting and playing with Barbie's, yet between preparing them food and feeding them and having them make out with my brother's GI Joe, the only thing I loved was dressing them up in skin tight mini dresses (the tighter and the mini-er the better) and high-heeled pumps. I was more fascinated with the women that they were and that maybe, just maybe, I could become than just as dolls; the "playing dolls" bored me. I loved them for the rebels I saw them as, not "let little girls dream of being doctors or lawyers" – Barbie didn't do that in the Sixties, but more as strong, powerful and sexy women. And always well fed. The rest of my free, after-school time was spent shooting baskets or playing Hot Wheels with Andrew, putting on song-and-dance variety shows with Michael, or reading.
Growing up in that beachside town where blond, leggy and sun-tanned made for the ideal woman, what hope did I have? I felt my differences acutely, yet learned to make the most of them. I wasn't a "pink and ruffles" girl, I liked the unusual in clothes as I did in games, even if it meant getting teased and laughed at. If it was bright and wild, I loved it; that cherry red skirt with the bright white zipper that scooted straight up the center front ending in a huge, mod ring pull, belts worn on the outside of my shirt rather than through the belt loops of my pants, fringed suede vests and anything with the hint of avant-garde. After all, prim, girlie clothes would have simply looked silly with my white white skin and black frizzy hair.
In food, I lived the same passions. Pink wasn't my thing. Raspberries were too insipid and strawberries, that most girlie of fruits, were best eaten straight from the plant. I never asked for a scoop of lovely, pastel pink ice cream or pink frosting on my cupcakes, overly sweet white icing got scraped off along with the neon-colored roses. In fact, I hated and shunned anything at all with strawberries, from pie to shortcake to Pop Tarts to milkshakes. Not. My. Flavor. Period.
Deep, dark chocolate cakes and icings, thick, creamy chocolate cream pies or pudding piled high with whipped cream were my choice, and dense, sharply-flavored cherry was the only fruit pie filling I would choose. Coffee ice cream, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate fudge or salt water taffy. At restaurants, the Mud Pie or the chocolate cream pie always won out, and I could down so many Whoopie Pies, S'mores or Little Debbie Chocolate Swiss Rolls at one time that no one would have ever considered it ladylike.
So why my sudden fascination with Red Fruit Tiramisu? #1 Son Clem makes the most divine, the world's absolute best Tiramisu. Amaretto and coffee and deep, dark, unsweetened cocoa. Rich and luxurious, the nearest one can get to the most perfect dessert. Why change anything about it? Why take away the two flavors that I love the best, coffee and chocolate, and introduce strawberries to the delicate, creamy smooth mascarpone filling? Strawberries? My dessert nemesis! A shiver runs up my spine just thinking about it. Well, it all started with Les Reims Roses.
The "biscuit rose de Reims" is a fascinating cookie first produced in Reims, the city of French Champagne, in 1691 and is still found today in every grocery store across the country. This local delicacy is a baked meringue-type treat the color of roses and dusted liberally with powdered sugar. The "Reims Rose" is traditionally served with and dipped in either Champagne or any of the red wines produced in that region, a necessary procedure to soften this crunchy cookie. We love the flavor and texture of the Reims Rose and often buy them to eat dipped in a tall, cold glass of milk. The lovely color is most definitely unique for a cookie, and we have long discussed using them, this oh so French sweet, in the preparation of a dessert. And, of course, Tiramisu came to mind.
And the strawberry, that much maligned fruit (in our house, at least), that sweetest of ruby-red jewels, trimmed, sliced and served chez nous quite simply doused with sugar and slathered with whipped cream, is indeed a local speciality. I walked over to our local fruitier, greengrocer, and picked up a pint from St. Julien de Concelles and 2 pints from La Chapelle sur Erdre, both right outside of Nantes, a stone's throw from home. The local strawberry deserved at least some recognition from me, and certainly deserves my respect, praise and admiration, being so sweet and succulent, so summery and healthful.
And I finally made the Strawberry Tiramisu. And it is, well, it does taste like a creamy strawberry shortcake, yet the sweet berries set against the delicate cream with its barely-there hint of Amaretto, is summer itself. The men in the family loved it, JP deemed it divine.
I followed Clem's recipe for the mascarpone filling and decided to use Amaretto as the flavoring, although this can be replaced with the more Italian marsala or even a teaspoon of vanilla extract for an alcohol-free dessert. The Reims Roses can easily be replaced with the more traditional Lady Finger biscuits or even slices of plain genoise or sponge cake. The cookies I crushed on the top of the Tiramisu can be replaced with some crushed almond-flavored Amaretti biscuits or left off entirely. The strawberries can be mixed with, or replaced with, raspberries or blackberries, just as you like. I decided to go as local as I could and added a slug or two of Le Nantillais, a local sweetened fruit concentrate used in cocktails. This can be replaced with a dash of water and sugar to taste, an unsweetened fruit juice or a fruit syrup, just enough to thin the strawberry purée a bit.
And I do admit that I loved the beautiful pink color of this dessert…. Second best to the color of coffee and chocolate.
2 – 3 pints of strawberries, local and in season, naturally, or any summer berries
20 – 30 biscuits, ladyfingers or enough sponge or other cake for two layers
4 very fresh eggs, separated
2 cups (16.5 oz, 500 g) mascarpone
½ cup (100 g) sugar or to taste
4 Tbs or more Amaretto
Prepare the purée to use to soften and soak the biscuits or cake:
Place a pint of berries in a saucepan with a slug or two of juice or syrup or water. If thinning it with water, add sugar just to lightly sweeten if needed. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer for just a couple of minutes, mashing and puréeing the berries with a spoon or potato masher. Remove from the heat, pour into a wide, shallow bowl and allow to cool.
Prepare the Mascarpone cream (follow Clem doing this as he prepares his traditional Tiramisu here):
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside is a large bowl.
Beat the yolks until thick and pale. Add all of the sugar except one tablespoon and continue beating until thick.
Add the mascarpone and 4 tablespoons of the Amaretto, and fold all together until very well blended and creamy.
Beat the whites until they start to stiffen. Add the remaining tablespoon of sugar gradually as you continue to beat the whites stiff. The whites are ready when you can turn the bowl upside down and they don't budge.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone/egg mixture, using a spatula. Start with about a third of the whites to lighten the mixture. Then add a second third, then the last, carefully folding the whites into the mixture after each addition so as not to break the air in the whites.
Taste the mascarpone cream, adding a bit more sugar or Amaretto to taste.
Prepare the Tiramisu:
Trim the strawberries and slice.
Whether using individual molds or glasses/dishes or one larger serving dish, spoon and spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom.
Take one Reims Rose or Ladyfinger at a time, trimming to fit your mold if necessary, and soak in the fruit purée, briefly but thoroughly, until soaked through and soft, but not too long that the cookie falls apart. I tried to get a bit of the purée to stick to the cookie.
Line the mold with the purée-soaked cookies, pushing them together so as not to leave spaces between the cookies. Add a layer of sliced strawberries, as many as you like pushed together.
Now spoon more of the mascarpone mixture into the mold, smoothing over the cookies, forming a rather thick layer.
Repeat with a layer of purée-drenched cookies, then the mascarpone to the top of the dish. Finish with a decorative layer of sliced strawberries. Sprinkle the top with crushed Reims Roses if you like (though you may want to do this just before serving so they stay crunchy).
Chill well.
These can be made in one large, deep, preferably glass (to see the beautiful layers) serving dish or in individual glass bowls. I decided to mold two of them in circular molds, first cutting out a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom and placing on a small doily. To remove the mold, simply but carefully move the molded Tiramisu to an individual serving plate by lifting under the doily with a spatula, then very gently jiggle and twist slightly back and forth, lifting the mold straight up. Once you feel the Tiramisu release, just lift the mold straight up. The rest I made in a glass baking dish, though I could have used one slightly larger….
Tiramisu is best made in the morning to be served after dinner at night. Left overnight in the fridge, the cookies may release a bit of liquid, but it is still so exquisitely delicious! Using the Reims Rose cookies, which are thicker and crispier than traditional ladyfingers, they definitely needed to be left in the fridge overnight to soften.
Too girlie? For you to decide...

This looks like the perfect tiramisu for me...I don't like coffee, but love strawberries (even though I wasn't a girlie girl either!) I haven't seen those Reims Rose cookies around, though...I'll have to keep an eye out!
By the way, my stay in France was only for a year, which is up in July. :-( Back to Kentucky for me on July 5th...

I'd eat any kind of tiramisù, pink, brown or blue. So in this case girly suits me just fine! These biscuits seem quite intriging, love to have a taste.

Mmm, tiramisu. I make mine by soaking the lady fingers in dark rum & strong coffee. It's rich and full of flavor. Your version with strawberries sounds so enticing and summery.
I always enjoy the pictures on your blog.

Oh, Jamie. I love the childhood stories as much as I love the fabulous recipes and mouthwatering pics. I don't consider strawberries to be girlie as they are a deep, passionate red--the color of sexy womanhood. Or am I just rationalizing because this dessert is so tempting? You decide.

Love these photos! I am kind of a girly girl, yet oddly enough I have mostly male friends.

I love your post, Jamie. I'm now on a mission to find those biscuits and try your recipe.
I wasn't a girly girl either. I was more into riding my horse and climbing trees. Not so much any more however.

What an awesome way to use those pink biscuits. I sometimes have girly moments, but find that its too much work being a girly girl!
This dessert looks amazing ... and with all these men I see running around in pink shirts I bet they'll go totally nuts over something like this!

How incredibly beautiful! I think being a girly girl is overrated. I love heels and bags, but I also just went on a 10 mile run through the mud and rain. It's good to have both sides, which it most certainly sounds like you do.

Wow, that looks great. I want some right now.

The FBI has filed federal charges against a Bryan resident in connection to a threat against Texas State University.
It's the same man suspected of emailing a bomb threat to Texas A&M.
22-year-old Dereon Kelly appeared in federal court Friday.
He's accused of emailing a bomb threat to Texas State University in San Marcos on October 18th.
Dereon Kelly remains jailed for the Texas A&M threat and these new charges.
Friday night Texas A&M University Police announced his friend Brittany Henderson is no longer being considered a person of interest in the Texas A&M University bomb threat hoax.
Kelly's family told News 3 this week that Dereon and she had been dating
Brittany Henderson is charged with sending in an e-mail bomb threat to Texas State University prompting the evacuation of three buildings on October 18th.
She was transferred to the Hays County Jail in San Marcos on Halloween after being arrested in Bryan last week.
Henderson's bond has been reduced from an original $300,000 to $40,500.
Investigators say the e-mails for both bomb threats at Texas State and Texas A&M originated from Brittany Henderson's Yahoo e-mail account.
Texas A&M Police say the bomb threat e-mail in College Station was traced back to Dereon Kelly's cell phone and they allege he used Brittany Henderson's account and password.
That bomb threat prompted more than 50,000 people to evacuate Texas A&M on October 19th, for the first time ever.
Dereon Kelly's bond for allegedly making a terroristic threat is set at $150,000.
If convicted, Dereon Kelly faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's office.

NAUGATUCK – The Tug Valley Panthers had a happy homecoming game as they defeated the Van Bulldogs 40 to 20 Friday night at Bob Brewer Field.
Tug Valley took the opening kickoff and marched downfield with an 11-play, 53 yard drive. It was capped by a David Runyon 1-yard plunge. The conversion failed, but the Panthers took an early lead they would never relinquish.
Later in the quarter Austin Baisden came up with an interception for Tug Valley halting a Bulldog drive. However, the Panthers were unable to move the ball and were forced to punt.
But, on the next offensive possession by Van, Tug Valley's Isaac Parsley recovered a fumble on the 38 yard line giving the home team excellent field position. Then four plays later Panther quarterback Mikey Newsome hit Corey Dillon for a 25-yard TD pass. The conversion pass failed, but Tug Valley led 12-0 with 11:33 left in the first half.
Van cut into the lead as freshman Logan Crouse broke free and hit pay-dirt on a 50 yard touchdown run. The conversion run was no good, but the Bulldogs had new life, cutting the score to 12-6 with 10:19 left in the second quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff, Tug Valley's Ryan Preece scooped up the pigskin, hit a seam and raced 65 yards for a TD. Tyler Conley ran in for the 2-point conversion and the home team increased its lead to 20-6.
With 6:56 left in the half, Conley scored from 12 yards out. The conversion run was stopped, but Tug Valley had a 26-6 lead.
On Van's next offensive possession, Aaron Copley picked off another Elswick pass with 6:32 left in the second quarter. However, three plays later Van recovered a Tug Valley fumble. The Bulldogs were unable to score and went into the dressing room trailing 26-6.
Tug Valley came up with another turnover as Ryan Preece made a big hit on a Van player and Conley recovered the fumble for the Panthers.
Then an unsportsmanlike penalty gave Tug Valley great field position at the 27 yard line of Van. Four plays later Justin Baisden scored from 12 yards out with 9:33 left in the third quarter. Newsome connected with Dillon on the 2-point conversion to give Tug Valley a comfortable 34-6 lead. That's how the score ended after three quarters of play.
At that point, Tug Valley coach Tony Clusky pulled many of his starters. Senior running back Aaron Muncy did not play at all in the second half. He was nursing an ankle injury. He did see limited action in the first half.
Van was able to get two more scores in the final quarter. Crouse scored his second TD on a 22 yard pass from Elswick. The conversion failed, but that cut the score to 34-12.
With 5:46 left in the game, the speedy Crouse scored his third TD of the night on a 24 yard run. Then Dakota Price hit Elswick on a halfback pass for the 2-point conversion to cut the lead to 36-20.
Tug Valley then was able to recover an on-sides kick. With good field position the Panthers quickly moved the football down the field and Baisden scored for the second time on a 7-yard run. The conversion was stopped, but the Panther were able to improve to 6-2 on the season.
Runyon led Tug Valley with 93 yards rushing on 13 carries, while Baisden had 78 on 18 chances. Conley rushed for 47 yards on 10 tries and completed 1-of-3 passes for 18 yards, but he threw two interceptions.
Newsome completed 3-7 passes for 71 yards and a TD. He threw a couple of nice passes early in the game that were dropped.
Dillon led Tug Valley in receiving catching two passes for 58 yards and a score.
Defensively Preece led the Panthers with nine tackles, while Parsley had seven and Conley five. Dillon had a pair of sacks and Jonathan Farley also had a QB sack. Copley, Austin Baisden and Runyon each had an interception.
Tug Valley will be idle this week. Van is now 1-7 and will play host to Greenbrier West this Friday.

Hope makes a plan for Thanksgiving, Donna and Brooke visit Katie's office, and Wyatt asks Bill to cut him some slack.
At Forrester Creations, Eric, Rick, and Hope talk with Pam about how great the family is when they pull together. Pam admits Donna deserves some credit too. Later, Caroline, Ally, and Thorne are there. Ally asks when Rick and Caroline are getting married. They haven't set a date. Caroline and Rick exit, and Hope talks about throwing them an engagement party at Thanksgiving. They all agree it's a great idea except for the problem of inviting Caroline's Uncle Bill. Hope thinks he should be there. Eric agrees - they can't exclude him. Pam goes to email invitations. Hope talks about everyone putting aside their differences. Hope leaves. Eric, Thorne, and Ally discuss the party. Ally thinks Caroline will be happy. Outside, Caroline reads her email and tells Rick what Hope's doing. Rick can't wait until she's his wife.
Donna and Brooke arrive at Spencer Publications to visit with Katie, who tells security not to let Bill or Alison in. Brooke asks Katie not to let Bill come between them. She doesn't expect forgiveness overnight, just a chance to win her trust back. Donna says men will come and go but they'll always be sisters. Donna apologizes for her part in it. Katie says it's irrelevant - Brooke and Bill wanted to be together. Katie tells Brooke that Bill lied to them both - at least they have that in common. Katie tells Brooke she loves her, but needs time. Hope arrives and declares it's 'beautiful' to see the Logan sisters together. She tells them about her plans. Brooke says she can't expect them to spend Thanksgiving with Bill. Hope admits it's controversial, but says Caroline's a Spencer. Katie asks to speak to Brooke alone. She asks her to promise she will never be involved with Bill again. Brooke promises. Katie exits. Brooke thinks about kissing Bill in Aspen.
In Wyatt's studio, Bill tells Wyatt about Quinn stabbing him with his own sword. He suggests that she's unstable, asking if she 'has all the tools in the toolbox', and warns Wyatt not to romanticize what it was like with him and Quinn, and while he's at it, stop romanticizing the situation with Hope - she's with Liam. Wyatt points out that Bill's not backing off with Brooke. Bill admits it, but says he can't support Wyatt pursuing Hope. Wyatt just asks him for some slack. Bill is understanding and draws parallels to his own situation. He talks about how they never wanted to hurt Katie, who made him a better man, but says he needs Brooke in his life. He talks about his future with Brooke. "She will be mine."

The Steven Hunter Hope Fund kicked off its Steven's Power Pack Club program at Valley Elementary School on Friday. The program will provide a weekend's worth of food for 30 students.
The Hunter Hope Fund also has similar programs at New Boston, Northwest and Portsmouth City Schools. Steven's Power Pack Program provides food for 276 students each week.
With tears in his eyes, Hope Fund administrator Mark Hunter watched Friday as the students were given their Power Packs.
"Today is a very good day," Hunter said. "We are kicking off another school for Stevens Power Pack Program."
Hunter said it's been with the blessings of God that he and his wife, Virgie has been able to expand this program into another school.
"He (God) has blessed us so much and we know now, more than ever this is what he (God) wants us to do," Hunter said.
He said the purpose of the program is to provide needy students a weekends worth of food to take home with them every Friday after school.
"The sad reality is that many of these children are going without proper nutrition or, in some cases, with no food at all over the weekend, their only meals being provided at breakfast or lunch through the school system," the Fund reported on its website, www.stevenshopefund.org.
Jeff Rase, Valley Guidance Counselor said the students and the teachers are excited about this program coming to their school.
"This gives the students the opportunity to have some food at home. Otherwise they might not have anything until Monday," Rase said. "Nutrition is a high priority for us. Nutrition is directly related to success. If kids are healthy, their learning improves, their behavior improves so, and this is a win-win for us."
Hunter said students become eligible based on the free and reduced lunch program and upon recommendation of the children's teachers.
"This program would not work if it were not for the hard work of each of the schools. We have the help and support of the free store food bank. We also could not do this without the support of the community. The teachers and administrators at each of the schools, they are so happy we are bringing this program to their school, because they know the end result is that the kids will have enough to eat over the weekend," Hunter said.
Hunter said Steven's Power Pack Club will start at West Elementary next week.

does it switch on when the iPad is inserted or does it also work within bluetooth range? Does it double as a stand? Im a little confused by the form factor.
Fix the iPad's tiny, tinny sound with Zooka Wireless Speaker
The Zooka Wireless speaker bar is a cool Kickstarter project that aims, though a mix of Bluetooth technology and cool design, to bring high quality audio to your iPad.
Just last night on iPhone and iPad Live I went on another rant about how Apple is paying a lot of attention to iPhone, and maybe iPad, cameras, but almost none to iPhone and iPad speakers. I still have to cup my hand and crane my ear to hear anything in an even moderately noisy room. Apple has to pay some attention to music lovers at some point -- they invented the iPad after all! -- but until then, Zooka looks like a great alternative.
Zooka promises 5 times the sound of the iPad speaker and comes in a variety of colors including orange, yellow, blue, brown, gray, and black -- and a glow in the dark special edition. It will run for 8+ hours on a single charge of its lithium ion battery, and is made out of medical grade silicone so its light and resilient.
While it looks made for the iPad, it will work with any device that has Bluetooth, including the iPhone, iPod touch, your Mac or Windows PC, and even has 3.5mm jack for non-Bluetooth devices.
The Kickstarter project is already funded but there's still 24 days to go if you want to get in at the startup price.
Check out the videos below (bonus points for the Veronica Mars song!) and if you like it, head on over to Kickstarter to pledge. I know I can't wait to try it out.

Fix the iPad's tiny, tinny sound with Zooka Wireless Speaker
It looks like it has a power button on the (hum.) button side.
Of course you have to pair it with something.
I seems to only stand with the buttons facing up. They should make a stand of it as well.
I wanna know if it has a light or something that shows you that the speaker power is on.
It works with the Smart Cover thats why it slips on the side of the iPad. The designers say they will put up a demo of it in use with the Smart Cover. I'm totally into this! I've wanted a Jambox for a while now, but I wasn't ready to spend the money on it. Zooka doesn't have a mic but that doesn't bother me in the least. My bank account hates Kickstarter.
Apple isn't paying huge attention to speakers because music is a personal audio experience. It's just not high on the priority list. The majority of people use headphones to listen to things, not the speakers. The speakers are for alarms and phone calls to alert people, and are meant to be loud enough to be heard, but not quality enough to discern spoken word in a crowded room. And if they were loud or quality enough to be heard in a crowded room, the people next to you might not appreciate it anyway, so social norms would dictate putting in headphones anyway so the speakers wouldn't get used, so why put them high on the priority list?
Maybe when the technology catches up, iHome will have their speaker quality Sherlocked to the point that you can get home theater quality sound out of an iPhone without a speaker dock. Time and progress will probably make it happen.
That speaker looks so big and bulky attached like that- no thanks! I certainly agree that higher quality sound coming directly from the device should be a higher priority. It's rather embarrassing to want to show something off on the phone such as a video, and the sound is so poor and low.

Wow, surprised this is still in stock, after finally getting one and being stunned at the awesome actual final product head sculpts, the accessories, the size and weight of Timber, and so on!!! I don't normally like to gush about a product, but for my fellow collectors or Joe fans, PICK THIS GUY UP!
— Jeremy S.

Excellent figure! Great interpretation of Snake Eyes. You will not be disappointed with this beauty, The gear, weapons, accessories, are what make this figure rock! First thing you should do is swap out the stock sweater with a black tactical sweater from THE REVENGER 1/6 figure!
— A Viewer
Duke the Action Dog, a Kenner toy of a German Shepard. I cannot help notice some similarities between duke and timber.I cant help wonder if duke inspired timbers design! I really hope to see more canine figures produced ie junkyard. Timber and snake eyes are high quality and beautifully designed

My absolute favorite Joe of all time, in the best possible figure ever! This Snake eyes rocks! Timber is pretty sweet to boot. All the weapons are super cool, and he looks sick fighting the two ninjas i got to pose with him! I even did some stop motion with him. This figure makes me geek right out!
— Craig King
Toronto, On. Canada
I really love the look of this version of Snake Eyes, now I have the Commando version to go along with the first released Ninja style Snake Eyes. The accessories blew me away, not to forget that Timber is just plain awesome next to Snake Eyes. Bring on Blowtorch SSC, you never fail to impress!!!!
— Burton
Tucson, AZ
The Snake EyesAnd Timber set is awesome. I missed out on the original Snake Eyes release in 2009 because I like the commando version better and thought that the original release was too scrawny. I like the fact that you get both popular portraits for Snake Eyes. Timber is superb as well.

I have every Snake Eyes and Timber figures ever made, and this is the cat's pajamas. Timber is huge and has lots of articulation. Gives me hope Sideshow might do a Mutt and Junkyard or Law & Order set.

I missed out on the original Snake Eyes offering. I was waiting for a new issue. This one was it! Well worth it. This one is awesome! Well done in creating this version! Yo Joe! Pictures do this little justice. Just get it!
— Shipwreck

I just got this figure and am loving every bit of it. I have been collecting the sideshow G.I.Joe line since Firefly and I am really glad you went back and did this version of Snake Eyes. Even my Wife loves Timber. This is a must for any G.I.Joe fans out there.

What an amazing figure. The sculpts on every piece are fantastic. I love how some of the pieces of the guns move. Even the pistol top slides back like it would after the last round ejects. You cannot go wrong with this figure if you are a Snake Eyes fan.
— Jeffrey
Arlington, VA
Sideshow has done it again. You guys never cease to amaze me. Another piece for my collection that'll be sure to draw tons of attention. The details from the packaging to Snake Eyes' gear is INSANE. Timber is massive which looks so badass along Snake Eyes whose articulation is also very impressive.
— C-Money
Boston, MA
This figure set is totally badass! I was shocked at how *huge* Timber is! They both somehow look way better up close than the photos portray. So glad Sideshow went back and really nailed this figure for people like me who missed out the first time around. The included accessories are just sick!

hi, the manual for this instrument (on mares website) reads: *** warning the pressure gauge is designed for use with only one gas mixture. at the time of purchase, the purchaser must choose the mix to be used: breathable air or oxygenenriched breathable air (nitrox). preed mixture - air: the pressure gauge is designed for use with air. the air used in the tank must comply with the en 12021 european standard. for safety reasons, mixtures other than that indicated may not be used. preed mixture - nitrox: the pressure gauge is designed for use exclusively with nitrox, maximum 50% oxygen. for safety reasons, the use of air (en 12021) is strictly forbidden, as is the use of mixtures other than nitrox or oxygen, which could contaminate the equipment. warning it is strictly forbidden to switch from using air to nitrox and vice versa *** if i dive using air and nitrox up to 40%, can i use the same console for both?
Yes. Mares is using a very strict "CYA" policy in terms of liability. The manufacture's policy is the word when it comes right down to it, and regardless of our personal opinion and knowledge of it, when it boils right down to it, if the manufacturer says their gear can't be used in a certain way, then it's typically best to not use their equipment that way.
414418 - Mission 2
The latest result of uncomplicated ingenuity
• Modular design
• Multiple attachment points
• Display for easiest readability
Instruments: submersible pressure gauge +
depth gauge.
Boot: shock-resistant elastomer.
Hose: 7/16" UNF length 90 cm.
Dimensions: 218 x 72 x 29 mm.
Weight: 410 g
Our analog console with pressure and depth gauges offers the simple yet versatile option to upgrade from the analog depth gauge to the compact Puck capsule computer.
The submersible pressure gauge is a safety device for monitoring residual air pressure
in the tank, designed to be used as part of a SCUBA set (open-circuit, self-contained
underwater breathing apparatus). The pressure gauge must be assembled on
the regulator first stage by means of the high pressure hose connected to the gauge.
The pressure gauge can be used at temperatures below 10°C.
1) Locate the high pressure ports on the regulator first stage (refer to the instruction
manual of the regulator; the high pressure ports on the first stage may be marked
with the letters "HP" or with the maximum pressure rating) and, following the
instructions, remove the plug from the chosen port.
2 ) Remove the thread protection cap before connecting the hose to the regulator first
3) Screw the hose fully into the high pressure port of the regulator first stage. Tighten
firmly but carefully, using a 14-mm hex
After use, it is recommended that you rinse the instrument in fresh water while it is still
assembled on the regulator, to prevent water from penetrating inside the hose.
Allow to dry in air, and then put the instrument away, taking care to replace the special thread
protection cap on the hose. The instrument should be stored in a dry place,
protected from heat sources and direct light, without bending the hose too tightly (minimum
bend radius 20 cm).
• Avoid exposing the instrument to direct sunlight or sources of heat.
• Treat the gauge like a precision instrument and avoid bumps or knocks.
• Rinse in fresh water after every dive. It is recommended that the 108 O-ring Vitron
gasket, located on the threads of hose coupling which connects to the pressure reducer, be
replaced periodically.
Any maintenance or repairs must obligatorily be performed by Mares or its authorized

From the Presidential debate last night, something that President Obama said about all those manufacturing jobs that have been shifted off to China. You know the sort of thing, those assembly lines at Foxconn making stuff for Apple and Dell. They're just not ever going to come back to the US those jobs. It's possible that the manufacturing itself will but the jobs are gone, gone forever.
The question being answered was this:
CROWLEY: Mr. President, we have a really short time for a quick discussion here.
iPad, the Macs, the iPhones, they are all manufactured in China. One of the major reasons is labor is so much cheaper here. How do you convince a great American company to bring that manufacturing back here?
Obama's answer (in part) was this:
Candy, there are some jobs that are not going to come back. Because they are low wage, low skill jobs.
I'm not interested in the slightest about who won what. I'm a foreigner and American politics isn't my subject. But that simple point about some of those offshored jobs is one I've made several times here. Worth pointing out again why those jobs are never coming back. And it's nothing at all to do with corporate taxation, corporate greed, Chinese currency manipulation: it's all entirely about the link between labour productivity and wages.
Imagine that we can have two ways of making iPhones and iPads. One way is to have huge numbers of people putting them together by hand. The other way is to use large amounts of machinery to do the work. There's nothing either right or wrong about either way of doing it. And which gets used will depend upon the relative costs of machinery and labour.
We can imagine a world in which the machines to do the work cost $100 a piece (that is, that the cost of machinery per phone is $100) and lots of workers is $10 a phone. We can also imagine the reverse, where machinery costs $10 per phone and the labour $100. Which system we decide to actually use will depend upon those relative costs: for of course we're going to sell more phones the cheaper they are, make more profit the lower we can get our costs.
Currently the system Apple uses is closer to the $10 of labour one. It's actually around $8 or so that they spend on the assembly of an iPhone. And they do this because the cost of employing machinery to do this work would be higher. But let's stick with our $10 just to keep the numbers the same.
Now, if we did that same work the same way in the US then that labour would cost more like the $100. If we used USA workers making the usual US wages and we got them to make the iPhone in exactly the same way it is done in China then it would cost up and around that $100 figure to do so (this is not an accurate figure but it's good enough for our purposes here). Now we might rather like to have 250,000 jobs in the US paying good US wages to make iPhones. But it just isn't going to happen: those jobs are never coming back. For the cost of using machinery to make them instead of people is lower than that $100.
It is true that we don't actually know what the cost of automating the Foxconn assembly lines would be. But we can get a pretty good estimate. Or at least one that shows that it's rather lower than the cost of employing US labour. Currently the standard Foxconn worker is making around $6,000 a year. This number has risen very strongly in recent years. It's up from around $1,500 a year at the turn of the millennium (if anything, it has risen more than this). At standard US wage rates for electronic assembly a US worker makes around $27,000 a year. So, if labour productivity is the same in each place (which we are assuming it is, because we're saying each will have the same amount of machinery and mechanisation) then clearly the US option is more expensive. But how can we tell that mechanisation is cheaper than using US workers? Quite simple really: Foxconn has already announced that it is going to install up to 1 million robots over the next three years. That's one robot for each and every one of its current workers.
It is also proof that the turning point between employing people and employing machines is around and about that $6,000 a year. That's the point at which you stop using labour to build things and start using machines to do so. You will note that this is well below the $27,000 necessary to employ US workers.
So, even if the manufacturing of Apple products were to return to the US there wouldn't be those 250,000 jobs (roughly how many of Foxconn's people work on Apple products) coming with them. There might be jobs for 250,000 robots but that's not the same thing at all.
BTW, saying that US labour is more productive than Chinese therefore it won't work this way is nonsense. For the reason US labour is more productive is because it uses more capital, more machinery. That is, the reason US labour is more productive is because there are more machines and fewer jobs. If you prefer, the reason the jobs won't come back is precisely because US labour is more productive.
The numbers I've used here are only examples, they're not the accurate costs at all. But the point being illustrated is still entirely true: those manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the US, just as the President said. The manufacturing could come back but even then the jobs wouldn't. For there are two ways of making Apple products, the only two ways that anyone will use in the real world that is. One is to use 250,000 people to build them in China. The other is to use machines to build them in America. Our universe simply does not contain a viable alternative which uses 250,000 people being paid US wages to do the work.

Teen who spurred progeria research dies at 17Written by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Sam Berns, whose inspiring attitude about having progeria was the subject of the 2013 HBO documentary "Life According to Sam," died Jan. 10 at his home in Foxborough, Mass., from complications of the rare disease. He was 17.
It was 1998 when Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns learned their 22-month-old son had progeria, that his life expectancy on average was 13 and there was no research being conducted on the genetic fatal condition characterized by rapid aging.
One year later, with help from friends and colleagues, the family created the Progeria Research Foundation, the only nonprofit dedicated to treating and finding a cure for the disease.
Thanks to the foundation, the LMNA gene that causes progeria was discovered, a test to determine if children have the disease was established, a cell and tissue bank was started and funds were raised for two drug trials.
In 2012, results from the first drug trial showed children improved in at least one of three areas: weight, bone structure and cardiovascular system.
Kaylee Halko, 10, of Monclova participated in that first drug trial. She and Carly Kudzia, 3, of Whitehouse are enrolled in the foundation's triple-drug trial.
They are two of the 105 children in the world who have progeria, according to the foundation.
"Sam passed away just days before we were set to travel to Boston for Carly's six-month check of the Progeria Research Foundation's trial at Boston Children's Hospital, so we were able to attend Sam's funeral service before returning home," said Heather Kudzia, Carly's mom.
"The service was beautiful and fitting for the amazing young man that Sam was," she said. "To say the least, we will continue to be moved by Sam and inspired by him to be brave every day."
The youth who became the face of progeria motivated many. He gave a talk titled "My Philosophy for a Happy Life" last fall at the TEDx conference in Washington, D.C.
"Being brave isn't supposed to be easy," he said. "For me, I feel it's the key way to keep moving forward. So, all in all, I don't waste energy feeling bad for myself, I surround myself with people that I want to be with, and I keep moving forward. So, with this philosophy, I hope that all of you, regardless of your obstacles, can have a very happy life as well."
"Sam's life simply was not long enough, especially given the impact he had on the human race as a whole," Kudzia said. "I do believe that together, we will get to the cure. And I'm betting that Sam will continue to help us."

Men's Soccer Settles For Tie
Sarcione heads into Overtime
- Release Date:
- October 2, 2010

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY – Both Franciscan University and Hilbert men's soccer teams battled in a fast-paced and physical match on Saturday, October 2. The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference game went into two ten-minute overtime periods before both teams had to settle for a 2-2 tie. Sophomore Ed Sarcione (Eden, NY/Eden) scored both goals for the Hawks bringing his overall point total for the season to ten after a 0-9-1 start.
The visitors scored first on a breakaway goal in the 18th minute by Leonel Lacayo. Franciscan was called for a hand ball in the box allowing Sarcione to take the Hilbert penalty kick. Sarcione put it past the keeper just before half time evening the score at 1-1. Fifteen minutes into the second half, the Baron's Luke Merry intercepted a goal kick by Kamil Cislak (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster) and fired it past the keeper for the lead. Hilbert put pressure on every ball for the next twenty-four minutes and eleven seconds looking to create scoring opportunities. With one second left in regulation, Sarcione headed a ball into the left side of the net off a cross from Dave Walkow (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West).
Both teams continued to scrap for an advantage on net during the over- time periods. With neither team scoring a goal, the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Franciscan goes to 1-7-1 on the year.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Durham committee offers candidate endorsements
The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People on Saturday released its slate of endorsements for the upcoming primary election.
The committee, one of the city's big three political groups, decided who to back during meetings that started about 9:30 a.m.

CHARLESTON Workers continued Thursday to build new 787s at Boeings South Carolina assembly plant even though federal authorities have grounded planes now in service while onboard batteries are checked.
The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the jetliners the previous day following battery fires on two of the new planes flown by Japanese carriers.
Production continued on the new planes at the companys sprawling North Charleston assembly plant that employs about 6,000 workers, said Boeing spokeswoman Candy Eslinger. Boeing also builds the plane at its plant in Everett, Wash.
She said she could not comment further on the battery situation but referred to a statement the company had released earlier.
In that statement, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney vouched for the safety of the new fuel-efficient plane the company calls the Dreamliner. It is the first commercial aircraft to have a hull made of lightweight composite materials instead of aluminum.
We are confident the 787 is safe and we stand behind its overall integrity. We will be taking every necessary step in the coming days to assure our customers and the traveling public of the 787s safety and to return the airplanes to service, he said.
Four of the 50 planes in service were built in South Carolina and sold to Air India. The airline took delivery of the first South Carolina-built plane in October. There have been no reports of problems with the batteries on those planes but the Indian government ordered Air India to ground its entire fleet of six Boeing 787s.
The FAA is investigating the lithium batteries on the planes that can leak corrosive fluid and start fires.
The North Charleston assembly plant has a goal of producing three 787s a month by the end of this year.
The first aircraft built at Boeings $750 million assembly plant came off the assembly line last April.
When it opened in the summer of 2011, the plant represented the largest single industrial investment in South Carolina history.

GC-rich PCR concerns DNA templates with high GC content, which is defined as the percentage of guanine-cytosine base pairs. When amplifying templates with >60% GC content (i.e 5' ends of most mammalian cDNAs), the three hydrogen bonds shared by GC pairs lead to enhanced thermostability, which is problematic for un-optimized Taq polymerase systems.
Destabilizing GC base pairs is the key to tackling GC-rich PCR. This is achieved by supplementing the reaction buffer with GC-melt and DMSO to disrupt or destabilize base pairing, and by using a robust polymerase mix that maintains processivity in the presence of these additives.
We offer high performance enzyme mixes and kits for GC-rich PCR, suited for templates with up to 90% GC content.

Service members should be careful about taking dietary supplements because many of these products contain hidden active ingredients that can result in harmful effects.
The most common types of dietary supplements found to contain "undeclared" ingredients (that is, substances not listed on the label) are those marketed for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified over 600 tainted dietary supplements. FDA specifically warns against the use of products that claim to be "alternatives" to FDA-approved drugs or "legal" alternatives to anabolic steroids.
Dietary supplements don't require approval by FDA before being put on the market, and without laboratory testing there is no way to know the contents of a product. If you're considering a dietary supplement, be sure to check the label to see if the product has been evaluated by an independent third-party organization.
For more information, please visit Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS), including the OPSS High-Risk Supplement List.
BMPEA is an unapproved amphetamine-like substance that has been appearing in some dietary supplement products. BMPEA (also known as β-methylphenylethylamine, R-beta methylphenylethylamine, beta-methylphenethylamine, and others) was first made in the 1930s as a possible replacement to amphetamine (a central nervous system stimulant), although it never became a drug because human studies on safety were not performed.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tested 21 supplement products with the ingredient Acacia rigidula listed on the label and found that 9 of the 21 products were found to contain BMPEA, which is not derived from the plant Acacia rigidula. Some dietary supplement products actually list BMPEA on their labels. FDA recently issued a warning stating, "…BMPEA does not meet the statutory definition of a dietary ingredient." Therefore, dietary supplement products with BMPEA are misbranded and cannot be sold as dietary supplements.
The World Anti-Doping Agency has banned BMPEA. For more answers to questions we've received about ingredients in dietary supplements, please visit our Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQs.
HPRC has often posted information about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and safety surrounding the topic of dietary supplements. But there's another Federal agency watchdogging the supplements industry: the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). One of the primary missions of FTC is to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices. That includes misleading or false advertising and claims. FTC advertising law states that all claims by dietary supplement manufacturers and distributors must be substantiated before they are made. So far in 2014 alone, FTC has issued press releases regarding unsatisfactory practices by dietary supplement companies. Most recently, one marketer admitted to wrongfully marketing weight-loss benefits of green coffee beans through appearances on television talk shows. Please see the FTC press release for more information.
Just as FDA has a reporting system for adverse effects associated with dietary supplements, FTC has a consumer complaint process that you can use. For this and other consumer information related to dietary supplements, visit this FTC web page.
Food and color additives exist in many of the foods that we eat. They are used to improve safety and freshness, maintain the nutritional value of foods, and improve texture and appearance. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has put together a helpful brochure reviewing how additives are approved for foods, types of food ingredients, and a description of food and color additives.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers about powdered pure caffeine, particularly as sold in bulk on the Internet. At least one death has been associated with the use of such products, and FDA advises consumers about the potency of powdered pure caffeine. See FDA's Consumer Advice, which includes information about how to report an adverse event.
According to this consumer resource from FDA, you should limit your caffeine intake to just 100–200 mg per day (about 5–10 ounces of coffee). Taking large doses of caffeine—roughly 400–500 mg—at one time can result in a serious condition known as "caffeine intoxication." Some symptoms of caffeine intoxication are minor and include nausea, vomiting, agitation, nervousness, or headache. Other symptoms can be more life-threatening, such as rapid heartbeat, electrolyte imbalance, very high blood sugar, or high levels of acid in the blood, which can cause seizures. See the OPSS FAQ to help you avoid hidden sources of caffeine.
E-cigarettes were introduced to help people stop smoking, but they are becoming a popular alternative to traditional cigarettes. But are they really a healthier substitute, as many companies claim? In short, we don't yet have a full answer to this important question, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is on a mission to find out.
On April 25th, FDA released a proposal for new regulations on e-cigarettes—a multibillion-dollar industry that so far has not been highly regulated. In fact, FDA currently lacks the authority to collect vital information about these products. Traditional cigarettes deliver thousands of chemicals, many of which are dangerous, to cigarette smokers and non-smokers around them. By comparison, e-cigarettes deliver substantially fewer chemicals. However, little is known about the potential dangers of the chemicals that e-cigs deliver.
Proposed new rules would allow FDA to collect information about the ingredients in e-cigarettes, as well as their health and behavioral effects. It also suggests that more research is needed to study the long-term health effects of these products.
E-cigarettes are now being marketed with flavors popular among young people. Preliminary studies have found that young people who say they would never use a tobacco product are experimenting with e-cigarettes. The proposed new rules also would require e-cigarette users to be at least 18 years of age to purchase these products.
Although it's still unclear how the popularity of e-cigarettes will impact public health, but it's certain that more research will shed some light on their long-term effects.
We've said it before: The Nutrition Facts label on a food package can be a Warfighter's best friend. But it might be getting a facelift, so to speak, to reflect the latest scientific information, courtesy of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The overall "look" of the label will be almost the same, but certain parts will change or be enhanced. Here are some of the proposed changes:
- Serving size: Updated to reflect the way people eat and drink today
- Calories and Servings: Shown in larger type
- Daily Values (DVs): Updated for various nutrients, such as sodium, dietary fiber, and vitamin D
- % DVs: Listed first because it's easier to read left-to-right
- Added sugars will be shown on a new line.
- DVs for vitamin D and potassium will be included.
- Calories from fat: Going away because according on research, the type of fat is more important than amount. However "Saturated Fat" and "Trans Fat" will remain on the label.
Take a look at the old and new versions side-by-side and then visit HPRC's Facebook page to tell us what you think of the proposed changes! FDA is seeking comments on the proposed changes, and the closing date has been extended until August 1, 2014, so this is your opportunity to be heard.
Recently, several dietary supplement manufacturers have promoted products for helping with recovery from concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is monitoring this issue and is contacting specific companies that are making claims that their products can prevent, treat, or cure concussions.
FDA is warning consumers to avoid using products that claim to treat a concussion or TBI. For more information about the claims and FDA's response, see this Consumer Update.
In April, FDA announced that the substance was illegal for use as an ingredient in dietary supplements, after which the number of products that contained it rapidly declined.
Only 19 products were added to the list over the past 12 months; none were actually new to the market, but just ones that came to our attention as other products with DMAA became unavailable. By comparison, 46 products were discontinued/reformulated, and 86 DMAA-containing products (or versions of products) appear to have disappeared completely from online retail availability. Only 61 products remain on the "active" list, and many of these are from non-U.S. sources; some still on the list may have eliminated (or are about to eliminate) DMAA, but their manufacturer/distributor websites are unclear as to their status.
HPRC will continue to update its list and report of "Dietary Supplement Products Containing DMAA," with the most recent version dated December 2014, but updates will appear less often than in the last two years.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued warning letters to 15 companies regarding illegally marketed diabetes products that are in violation of federal law. These products are either dietary supplement products or unapproved prescription drugs with claims that they "prevent and treat diabetes" and "can replace medicine in the treatment of diabetes."
FDA is warning consumers to stop using these products since they may harmful, and their use may interfere with receiving the necessary medical treatment for diabetes. More information is provided in FDA's "Illegally Sold Diabetes Treatments," which includes the news release, warning letters issued, and a consumer update.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
To The Editor:
If I were a fish and lived in the rivers with my fish family, I would have moved away from Montpelier in fear of, when the ice melts, we will be subject to some nasty black stuff from some ill-conceived plan that with this black stuff and some sunshine the ice will melt. It's ironic the sun hasn't shone very much since then.
There used to be a time when humans harvested gravel out of the rivers. Sure it made the water a little dirty, nothing worse than a good rainstorm would produce. When the rivers were harvested, it would give the fish many deep channels and cool pools to swim in. Life was good for the fish then. They prospered because there was plenty of room for all of them to live freely. Ice jams were pretty much non-existent then. The river had deep channels to move on freely.
Well, years have gone by now and the fish wonder, why are there no more deep channels and cool pools for them? Why is nobody harvesting the rivers anymore? Then the fish found out. It seems that in the human world a political sense of thinking has taken over the more prosperous common sense way of thinking.
So, if I were a fish, I would say to the people who conceived the plan to spray the river, you should receive a hefty fine and a heaping plateful of your river coating for your next meal. I would remind humans, common sense thinking is life and political sense thinking is unavoidable ruination for all in every aspect of their lives.

Football has taught us non-athletes many useful things, like sportsmanship, The Wave, and how to make nachos with "cheez" from a can. But most importantly, it has taught is that if you're really good at tossing the ol' pigskin, you get to date some of the hottest women in the world! We were reminded of this phenomenon a few weeks back when we got a glimpse of Alabama QB A.J. McCarron's gorgeous ladyfriend Katherine Webb in the stadium stands. And as the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers this weekend, we're probably going to see a ton of seriously sexy wives and girlfriends in the VIP bleachers, not to mention the cheerleaders on the field!
