Letter to the Editor: Gun control for the common good
CORPUS CHRISTI - Bobby Scott
Gun control for the common good
There are 300 plus million guns in the U.S. today. There are 38,000 deaths by gun and about one-third of these are homicides. Yet there is a debate about whether more gun control would be effective in reducing gun violence. Logic would dictate that fewer guns equal fewer deaths. You don't believe that is true? Consider, if there were only 100,000 guns in the U.S., would there be fewer gun deaths? Still not convinced? Look at England or other countries with a limited number of guns. Those countries have very few gun deaths.
The gun control measures that are now being considered would not eliminate nor would they reduce the gun violence by a great margin, I fear, but a few lives would be saved. If only one of those little children at Newtown had been saved it would be worth it. If you, the reader do not believe this is worthwhile, I invite you to imagine the children in Newtown.
The measures being considered would not affect sportsmen in hunting activities nor marksmen in recreational shooting. I own several long guns and none of them will hold more than five rounds. I understand some recreational shooters like magazines holding more rounds, but we in a civilized society must give up some personal liberty for the common good. That is the reason we have speed limits and other restraints on our personal freedoms.

All 12 SPL clubs are keen to push for a merger with the Scottish Football League that would see the introduction of a play-off involving the 11th-placed club and three second-tier teams.
However, the SPL sides are yet to agree on wealth distribution that could be a stumbling block for clubs in the Second and Third Divisions of the SFL.
All 42 clubs in the SPL and SFL have stated their desire to instigate a change by the start of next season, although many believe this would be difficult to rush through in time for any new campaign in August.
Suspicion between the SPL and SFL remains and, only last month, SFL chief executive David Longmuir said: "We were divorced in 1998 but almost 16 years have elapsed and we're now thinking, 'for the sake of the children, we should be back together again'.
"But there is mistrust. There is an element of, 'you did this to us before and I don't want that to happen again'. That is the analogy.
"In any remarriage, a bit of time has elapsed, a lot of water has run under the bridge and things have happened. But, for the sake of the children, let's get this sorted."

Abandoned DNA: Private or Property?
According to The Technology Liberation Front, visiting Professor Elizabeth Joh gave a talk focused on her recent law review article Reclaiming "Abandoned" DNA: The Fourth Amendment and Genetic Privacy, 100 Nw. Univ. L. Rev. 2 (2006).
Joh's basic argument was that DNA is fundamentally different than the other detritus we abandon on a regular basis. She contended that, though we might not have an expectation that the soda bottle we tossed into the public trash can won't be seen by anyone, we have an expectation that it won't be mined for our saliva and the genetic information it contains. Joh even argued that DNA traces are fundamentally different from fingerprints, since fingerprints can only identify us, but cannot give investigators a view into fundamentals about who we are (including our health risks).
Joh contrasted her view, which focuses on privacy, from what she called the "old" trespass view. Under that perspective, what was wrong about an FBI agent slipping into your house to implant bugs was not that the government could now listen into everything you say in your home, but rather the property violation involved in breaking in. Similarly, under the trespass view, a cop could not run a cotton swab on the inside of your mouth to collect DNA (without a warrant) because it would violate your property in yourself, not because it would reveal your genetic information to the government. But the trespass view would have no problem with the government picking up that soda bottle out of the trash and collecting your DNA from it, to match you to a crime.
Governments have been wary of actively collecting this abandoned DNA, however, and so have gone to great lengths to get suspects to voluntarily send the government their DNA. For example, they'll ask suspects to mail them information, then get their saliva from the envelope or stamp they licked. Joh is wary of these practices as well.
Joh fears that if we let governments analyze abandoned or given DNA, they might create a national database of DNA, like the present national fingerprint database. Governments may not use this just to identify suspected criminals; they may also mine it for racial data or to study genetic predispositions for criminality.

Curtain rises Sunday in South Portland on 5th 'Perform for a Cure'
SOUTH PORTLAND — More than 200 kids will take to the stage at the South Portland High School Auditorium on Sunday, April 11, to display their talent and raise money for cancer research and treatment.
The show, starting at 2:30 p.m., is the fifth annual "Perform for a Cure," an all-youth variety show.
Executive Director Hannah Friedman said this year's show will be the biggest yet, continuing a trend of growth since the first show was held at Scarborough High School in 2006.
"The time has gone by really fast," Friedman said. "(The show) has just spiraled and built up over the years."
While about 100 people attended the inaugural event to watch 30 adult and child performers and raise $1,700, the event has doubled in size each subsequent year, Friedman said.
The event has gone on to raise nearly $30,000 over the last four years.
"Most people have been affected by cancer, so that's one of the reason's people come to the show," she said. "As sad as that is, it's a fact."
Friedman is a cancer survivor, too. She was first diagnosed in 2000 with Hodgkin's lymphoma, which has recurred three times.
The idea to have young people display their talents to raise money for cancer research and treatment is the brainchild of Friedman's daughter, Rachel, who wanted to find a way to fight back after her mother's diagnosis.
"I'm so happy my mom has been cancer-free for almost four years and I want other people to feel that way, too," the 13-year-old said. "For that reason, I'm fighting cancer one performance at a time."
Last fall, Rachel Friedman, a seventh-grader at Portland's Lyman Moore Middle School, was honored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Northern New England, which awarded her a $10,000 scholarship to a four-year college to study public service.
Friedman won the award for raising nearly $30,000 over a four-year period for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and the Cancer Community Center in South Portland.
On Sunday, young performers, whose ages range from 5 to college students, will sing, dance, exhibit martial arts, tell stories and act out plays. There will also be raffles, a silent auction and refreshments.
"It's a true variety show," Friedman said. "It's all forms of art."
As of Tuesday afternoon, Friedman had already sold 560 tickets. The auditorium's capacity is 680.
Ticket sales will benefit the American Cancer Center's Relay For Life, which supports cancer research, treatments, prevention and support resources. This year's relay will take place on June 11-12 at the high school.
Concessions and raffle proceeds will benefit the Cancer Community Center, where adults affected by cancer can receive free emotional and social support through art, writing, yoga, aerobics and support groups to compliment their treatment.
Tickets cost $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. They may be purchased by calling 671-885. Tickets may also be purchased at the door, if available.

BAE Systems cancelled a planned media briefing on an Anglo-French future unmanned combat air system (UCAS) project on the second day of the Farnborough air show, attributing the decision to paperwork issues.
Sources at the company's Warton site in Lancashire last month said UK and French officials were expected to sign a memorandum of understanding at or around the show to advance the collaborative effort.
The parties are not yet ready to sign, but will do so soon, BAE says. It will perform the study activity in conjunction with French partner Dassault.
A conceptual model of a future UCAS platform is on display outside BAE's pavilion at Farnborough, providing visitors with a glimpse of a possible strike aircraft of the future, positioned just feet away from a Supermarine Spitfire.

Imprimata Proprietary Red 2010
Other Red Blends from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Imprimata aims to be in the best expression of this McLaren Vale vineyard. In the case of the inaugural vintage, it is a blend of 80% Shiraz and 20% Petite Sirah. The Tahbilk clone of Shiraz tends to produce wines that are reminiscent of the northern Rhone revealing more lifted violet and spice character. Petite Sirah is naturally higher in acid tannin and color bringing structure and minerality to the blend. The wine is made by Ben Glaetzer who shares Hammershlag's vision of wines that walk the line between power and elegance always finding balance between the two.
Blend: 80% Shiraz, 20% Petite Sirah
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Dark and chewy, with a green olive note prominent in the mix. Offers intensity and presence, letting the ripe blackberry flavors come through on the long finish."
Imprimata Winery
Epicurean Wines is proud to announce the inaugural release of Imprimata, a Shiraz-Petite Sirah blend from the Australian property of Benjamin Hammerschlag. An old skeleton blue gum tree that stands on the McLaren Vale property marks the source of this collaboration between renowned winemaker Ben Glaetzer and Epicurean's founder, Benjamin Hammerschlag. The partnership has resulted in only 500 coveted cases of intensely elegant, complex and focused single vineyard Shiraz and Petite Sirah.
Concurrent with his passion for seeking out Australia's best wines, Hammerschlag began his quest for the perfect piece of property for his own wine. His search ended at one of the highest points in McLaren Vale in the sub-district of Seaview, known for producing fruit with a track record for the highest quality. The Imprimata vineyard consists of ironstone and clay over limestone and benefits from cool maritime breezes each afternoon. Upon securing this location, Hammerschlag got to work in the vineyard selecting 2 clones of Shiraz: 1654, which is very typical of South Australia and Tabhilk, sourced from the oldest winery in Victoria and more reminiscent of the northern Rhone. In addition to Shiraz, the vineyard is also planted with Petite Sirah, a varietal that is naturally higher in acid, tannin and color, thereby enhancing the wine's mineral character and providing structure to the blend.
His Winemaker: With a relationship rooted in 10 years of friendship, Ben Glaetzer and Benjamin Hammerschlag share a common vision of producing wines that while they exhibit a distinct ripeness, richness and power also are balanced and vibrant. View all Imprimata Wines
About McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable FactsIn McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

X-ray crystallographic and biochemical studies of membrane vesicle protein coats.
Clathrin Domains and Model of Assembly Interface
My research program combines the powerful methods of X-ray crystallography and molecular biology to reveal the mystery of how self-assembling protein coats drive the formation of membrane vesicles within the cell. Recently we solved the X-ray structure of the self-assembling domain (Ybe et al., 1999). The clathrin triskelion has 3 protruding legs, each with an associated light chain subunit that regulates "non-productive" assembly of clathrin in the cytoplasm (Ybe et al., 1998). This light chain effect is reversed by accessory proteins, which interact with clathrin during the process of clathrin basket formation.
Watch a video of a model of clathrin self-assembly (from the Kirchhausen lab at Harvard):

Stafford Picture House celebrates centenary
Posted: February 25, 2014|
Pub staff, both past and present, together with regular customers gathered to celebrate the centenary of The Picture House, in Stafford.
The building, in Bridge Street, first welcomed the cinema-going public on the eve of the First World War and marked its 100th birthday on Sunday.
Customers enjoyed celebration cakes and champagne, as well as old film screenings and a documentary about the building's history. Jeremy Lefroy MP was also in attendance.
The Picture House opened its doors to the paying public on February 23, 1914. On that day, admission prices to a matinee showing of The House of Temperley, ranged from three pence to one shilling.
The cinema screened films until the 1990s, and reopened as a Wetherspoon pub in March 1997, retaining the name The Picture House.
David Blomley, pub manager at The Picture House, said: "A huge thank you to everyone who celebrated with us. It was a fantastic day and a great way to mark a historic day for The Picture House."

This is a collection of essays that are (1) short (usually two or three pages), (2) characterized by lots of biblical argumentation, and (3) written in defense of Catholicism (apologetics). Most of them came about as a result of my ongoing efforts to comment on issues that regularly come up in "worlds" of Catholic apologetics and theology online.
The brevity of the chapters indicates the trend in my apologetic writing for many years now: "quick," precise answers to apologetics questions. For better or ill, this is the world that we live in, and the apologist must make efforts (as St. Paul did, and as Vatican II stressed) to meet people where they are.
I don't deny the continuing utility and necessity of longer treatments (my "corpus" still contains plenty of those!), but most people prefer shorter essays, and their interest in theology and apologetics generally doesn't extend to treatise-length expositions. This is all the truer for beginners in theology.
Many of these essays were written as columns for Seton Magazine, which is devoted to Catholic homeschoolers. Others came from my regular column in The Michigan Catholic, the official newspaper for the Archdiocese of Detroit. Some were originally posted as part of my work in the Internet forum of the Coming Home Network from 2007-2010 (I was the head moderator during that period), and several were initiated on Facebook. All of these essays are meant to answer the questions that people ask and to make the Catholic Faith more understandable, leading to a confident belief and the ability to "make a defense" (1 Pet. 3:15) for this Faith as opportunities arise. I hope by God's grace I have accomplished these goals.
Thanks so much for reading, and God bless you!

Grow European business
by mickh, Window Shopper
- Created: May 12, 2009, 5:41 am
I'm looking to grow my business (it's electronics / computer related) in Europe / develop that export market. Can anyone advise me of who I should talk to or how I can get assistance with that?
mattlilly | Performer | 6/19/2009 - 3:33 pm
Very Good question. We have been researching this market for the past couple of years. If you sell products that you need to ship all over the place, you must really think it through. At any rate, I am definitely looking for answers on this topic. Good luck.

Hello mickh, If you haven't done so already, I suggest reading the Expand Your Business pages on Business.gov, more specifically the Importing/Exporting pages. I believe this information will help you grow your business in the European markets.
Declan | Window Shopper | 5/14/2009 - 5:35 am
Check out www.dutec.ie, an Irish based company that provide all the services that will help you access the European market. The boast a strong client list including Dell and Verbatim. Message Edited by StuartR on 05-18-2009 10:01 AM
mickh | Window Shopper | 6/5/2009 - 11:12 am
Thanks Declan. Those guys look interesting. I've spoken with them and they look like they can do a good job for me and get my products sold across Europe. They are doing it for other tech companies (big and small) so hopefully it will work out.In the current climate it's important to explore overseas markets to try to generate more sales revenueand these guys can do the job for me. mickh

Cheese Fondue + ?? For Dessert....
We have friends coming over tomorrow night and the main course will be a traditional cheese fondue with bread/apples/potatoes/cornichons and maybe some cooked sausage for dipping. While I love this as a main course I find it difficult to do starters and dessert since I know the fondue is very rich and filling. In the past I always fall back to the same menu - spiced warm olives, some prosciutto and an interesting cheese different to Gruyère and Emmenthal. No bread since we will be eating it with main. I also make a simple green salad as well as apple crostata for dessert. I really want to make something different for dessert this time but not with loads of cream or very heavy. Sorbets maybe but not my first choice. Soufflés are light but is it too much? I also thought of chocolate pots de crème even though they are rich - the serving size is very small. Dessert isn't usually something to cut the richness but is there something else out there? Thanks for any suggestions....
I like Ina Garten's Lime Meringue Tart...it's light & refreshing especially after a heavy meal
re: thursday
like wine infused pears or roasted pears with vanilla cream or a delicious light fruit fondue with pears, peaches, melon and strawberries dipped in Greek yogurt.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely go with a fruit dessert of some kind. We have fresh limes in our garden so I will have a look at the Lime Meringue Tart. I'm also going to look at a pear tart as well since that would be a nice complement to the cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love sorbet but I thought that would be too easy - if that makes sense.
re: Island Girl
well if you want to add to your workload, you can always bake some biscotti or other cookies to go with the sorbet! ;)
re: goodhealthgourmet
Hah....I'm always ambitious and then tomorrow around 6PM I'll be in panic mode wondering why I chose the menu I did...but it all works out in the end......I'm baking the bread for the fondue so that should add to the fun.
re: Island Girl
Thanks for all the suggestions...went in the garden but not enough key limes were ripe so went to the store....pears hard as rocks so went with apples BUT made a tarte tatin which everyone really seemed to enjoy. At first I thought I'd cooked the caramel too much , it was dark, but to me was the way I like it. Not sure if I was supposed to do this but took it out of the oven and left it in the pan, rewarmed during dinner and then turned it out.

Marco to request variance from beefed up water restrictions
Officials hope to draw from 1 billion gallons in stored water to avoid Phase III restrictions
In 2005, city water levels were at a critical low, with officials considering a reduction to the available watering days for island residents.
"We were almost a couple weeks away from running out of stored water," Public Works Director Rony Joel said recently.
Now, as the South Florida Water Management District considers tighter limitations on the region's residents, Marco Island prepares to ask for exemption from those restrictions.
"City Council has invested in many millions of dollars to invest in a storage system to address the drought we are now faced with," Joel said. "They have funded for the last three years aquifer storage and recovery wells. I would feel comfortable to say the island is drought resistant."
The city has enough water stored to meet the community's needs for two years, Joel said, with roughly 1 billion of water set aside in six wells at an off-island facility called Marco Lakes. Three of the wells were inherited from the former utility owner, Florida Water Services, and the other three were authorized by city council several years ago before going into service in 2006.
A seventh, already fully constructed, will go on line next year.
Cost of a single well, from drilling to parts to permitting, is nearly $2 million.
"Marco Island is kind of unique," said Clarence Tears, the director of the Big Cypress Basin Service Center for SFWMD. "They're currently using 40 percent of the surface aquifer, which is the aquifer they're trying to protect. Storage is an alternative. Reverse osmosis is an alternative source."
Tears said the island is on the leading edge of using such alternative technologies to gather and treat water, which could work in its favor when it comes to requesting a variance from the district.
"There's unique challenges all over," Tears said. "One thing about Marco is they're in the forefront of alternative sources. Removing septic systems — that's additional reuse in the future. So when we have these drought situations, their system's not dependent on the conditions around them."
Water management district governing board members will discuss a recommendation at a Dec. 13 board meeting to bump restrictions up to Phase III. That would limit residential watering to four hours a day, just one day a week.
"From a regional standpoint, many of the water levels are down," said Mark Elsner, SFWMD's division director for implementation of water resources. "You guys had a dryer than average season. The drought projection for the next several months is below average rainfall. From that perspective, what's being discussed right now is we're planning for the worst and hoping for the best."
But with a slightly more rosy outlook than surrounding municipalities, Marco Island city officials are working on the request right now to keep the city subject to the looser Phase II restrictions.
"We don't have a specific system for determining variances," said Elsner. "There's only one area, Highland Beach, that was exempt from (Phase II) restrictions. That's a 100 percent reverse osmosis island community."
Reverse osmosis, one of the most sophisticated methods of water treatment, has the capability of stripping the brackish, grimy deposits from water and refining it to — and sometimes past — the point of drinkability. Marco Island's own reverse osmosis water must be mixed with treated groundwater to make it palatable, as well as add back some of the natural minerals we are used to in our drinking water.
Elsner called the Highland Beach situation unique, and said Marco will be in a position to prove the same thing about its own island community.
"The water management district is looking at a statewide and a regional solution, and we're hoping that broad brush solution has the flexibility to take into account a unique situation," Joel said.
If anything is working in the city's advantage, it is the reputation that proceeds it. Elsner, like Tears, says the city has done a commendable job of seeking out alternative water sources.
Joel credits a proactive city council and a diligent resident base with the Island's situation.
"The city has done a significant amount of conservation," he says. "Our community has really taken on conservation. That's because of the reduction of water that's being utilized by our community for irrigation."
Use of reuse water by the city's condominiums was reduced by 15 to 17 percent over last year, Joel said, at least partly as a result of dropping from Phase I to Phase II restrictions. Phase II indicates a "severe" shortage, and limits watering to just two days a week.
Estimates from the Environmental Protection Agency state that 30 percent of residential water use goes toward irrigation and lawn maintenance, though the estimates for the southern tip of Florida range upwards of 50 percent.
City projections state that water storage will increase over the next year to about 1.25 billion gallons, even if water intake stays the same.
Marco Lakes waters are fed by Henderson Creek, a tributary of Rookery Bay that flows along State Road 951, from East Naples.
The utility is limited to the rainy season in drawing water from the creek, and water storage is halted if the creek dips below critical levels. From June 1 to Nov. 30, the city can draw from the creek, barring other conditions that reduce the flow of water.
"There's a time limit and elevation limit," said Public Works Senior Project Manager Bruce Weinstein. "Because of limits this year, we couldn't start until August."
Weinstein is a virtual encyclopedia of information on the city's water utility. He knows the diameter of nearly every pipe running through the labyrinthine facility at Marco Lakes, and a trip to that area with Weinstein means an off-road experience exploring the water storage wells, pumps and the creek that feeds them.
Researchers have raised concern in the past about the city's practice of drawing water from Henderson Creek and storing it nearby. In 2005, some controversy erupted over a hydroecologist's statements that porous Florida geology was unsuitable for such water storage, which could leak contaminants into the ground.
Others responded that the water being stored came out of the ground in the first place, and is actually cleaner, as it goes through carbon filters before being stored.
And the city contends that it is doing right by the aquifer, sticking to regulations and treating as much reuse, brackish and storage water as possible.
"The focus of South Florida is really surface water," said Weinstein. "That's what's got to be preserved because of lack of rain and drought. This island has done a really good job — as it has grown, it has not expanded its need for surface water. The makeup of all of this growth and demand has really been through the reverse osmosis plant and the use of this ASR (well) system."
What remains to be seen is just how impressed the South Florida Water Management District is. After all, they have the final say in just how green the island's grass is.
By the numbers: Marco Island water
56 inches of annual rainfall on average for Collier County
32 inches of rainfall received by the end of October
70 percent of annual rain falls in the summer
50 percent of household water estimated to be used goes to irrigation
2 days a week of watering allowed in Phase II restrictions
1 day a week of watering in event of Phase III restrictions
$80 residential fine for violation of restrictions
3 billion gallons of water distributed on Marco in 2006
8.1 million gallons used daily in 2007
1 billion gallons of water stored in Marco Island wells to date
6 aquifer storage and recovery wells on line
Figures come from the South Florida Water Management District

Enemy Territory MiscellanyJune 13th, 2008 by Crusader
- Several people pointed out this report at Tom's Hardware about an Intel-developed ray tracing demo:
Intel demonstrated ET: Quake Wars running in basic HD (720p) resolution, which is, according to our knowledge, the first time the company was able to render the game using a standard video resolution, instead of 1024 x 1024 or 512 x 512 pixels. Seeing ETQW running in 14-29 frames per second in 1280×720 has brought up our hopes for Intel's CPU architecture, since we do not believe that CPUs would deliver a similar performance when rasterizing graphics.
The icing on the cake was that the game was actually demonstrated running on a 64-bit Linux operating system. Intel stated that with ray-tracing, the company now supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Linux and Windows operating systems.
- The Splash Damage blog has taken a look at the ETQWPro competition mod:
Despite some members of the community arguing that mods like ETQWPro change too much of the standard ETQW gameplay experienced on most servers, there seems to be little that will halt this mod's progress, and the team behind it is willing and able to make changes to some aspects of the game that we at Splash Damage don't always agree with them on.
- Finally, Splash Damage also noted that Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is now five years old!

I storified a 30ish tweet rant about the nothing at the bottom of all human action, as exemplified by rich people buying garbage from each other.
Back in the studio today after a long time away. Two models at the same time, which was a new challenge, but look what happened! About a half hour warming up led to a two and a half hour sprint through to this:
I think struggling with oils unkinked my artbrain.
Oils? Yeah, I've been working with those too:
Those were alla prima attempts done all in one sitting each, separated by a couple of weeks. You have to go fast, and the paint is always wet so you can't fuss too much with fine detail because you keep smearing it away accidentally. Alla prima favors the bold.
Something I haven't seen talked about much is the way working in different media helps you improve in the media you aren't using. Every time I take a break from pastels, for example, to do a bunch of inks or watercolors or oils, I come back to pastels and suddenly they work so much better. This has even worked with photography. Focusing on one form of making images pays off in other forms.
I'm guessing it's similar to the thing that happens in your brain when you practice something right before sleep. You go away from one set of problems and practice against a different set, but both problems use the same wiring to solve. What you learn in one is useful in the other. But the real key is that unless you jump to a different related problem, you don't learn as much because you keep hitting the same routine solutions in the problem set you are familiar with.
It's almost as though we are wired for a kind of altruism. Fix someone else's problem to fix your own.
These are hard lessons for an introverted functional nihilist to absorb. Sometimes focus doesn't pay. Sometimes play does.
Oh! Also I let loose another one of these:
The Occasional Bitslice: Volume 3 Number 1
It's a newsletter I sometimes do, when I have something worth talking about. It tends to be more personal, sometimes, than the writing in this blog, though this one is split about evenly between recriminations and a long pep talk about the virtues of branding yourself. Lots of the people who read this are my friends, but it's aimed at a wider audience. I like the idea of there being a channel of writing that slides into your inboxes rather than sits out exposed, staring off into the empty horizon, contemplating it's loneliness.
The bitslice is too needy for that Clint Eastwood routine. The bitslice needs to be warm, inside your mail client. Read the bitslice, so it stops shivering. And if you like it, adopt it by subscribing:
That's all for now. Stuff is being worked on. There'll be more soon.

I'm paralyzed with intentions. Every time I move toward one action the pull of five others stops me. There are a dozen photoshoots, three web projects, a comic, some videos, two audio projects, and lots of physical artwork.
If even two of those get done this year it'll be an accomplishment!

File is technically an herb. We had to draw a line somewhere as there was no way we could put all the world's spices and herbs on one page. It has only one use that I know of, gumbo, but would love to know other uses if there are some!
I will consider adding it to any future update of this list.
Hi goofythinking. Good question. There are a couple of general rules you can use. First, refrigerate seeds so they don't go rancid. (That's on the page.) Whole spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, peppercorns keep their oomph much longer than ground spices.
Freshness rule of thumb: When you uncap a jar of an herb or spice, the fragrance should "rise to greet you." If you have to stick your nose right on top of it to be able to smell it, it's probably past its prime and should be replaced.
Also, it's best to keep all herbs and spices in a dark, dry place away from heat as much as possible.
Yes indeed, vonfurster, it is called an immersion blender! Also stick blender as well & I'm sure some other names I haven't heard.
And love your tip about hot water. I just take mine apart and put it in the dishwasher.
Tremetank, have you been over to the farmers market they have now at the French Market on Wednesdays? It's from 3-7 p.m. It's part of their effort to get more fresh produce back in there for locals.
Also, as far as I'm concerned, there can never be too many farmers markets!
Hi WeatherPAIN. Crawfish are not affected by the oil spill. They come from farms and bayous way inland. Their season will last for about another month.
Thanks so much, notcaringanymore! Popseal, I laughed out loud too.
Hi Pat. Thank you for alerting us to this problem.
We had a different pastry chef look at the recipe (again) and we are now taking it off the site
Hi Fixisin --
I actually mention the bandaid on the video.
Knife safety tip #1: Don't pick up a knife after having a cocktail...I was trying to cut a lime for a Corona. Oops.
Hi World of Mouth -- Wanted to see your Crunken Chicken recipe but the link doesn't work.
Not produced in New Orleans because in 2008 Emeril made a huge deal with Martha Stewart Omnimedia. He is now a partner with her in his "marketing and media assets," i.e. his television shows and cookbook publishing. Omnimedia HQ is in New York (as is the Food Network.)
He kept the restaurants part of his business, which is headquartered in New Orleans.
Hi Lee -- This was a while ago but I'm pretty sure the "can of cream" references evaporated milk. I also seem to remember that Jack Dempsey's said this isn't their recipe. But I hope, nevertheless, that it makes your father-in-law less grumpy...mac-and-cheese can do that.
Hi here4. No need to burn your fingers! When I make this, I always make the broth a day before and refrigerate so the fat will rise and I can discard it. The longer you cook the broth, the better it is.
Also, I don't use the veggies or bits from making the broth as I think the flavor has been cooked out of all that. I discard all solids used in making the broth. The next day, I use fresh vegetables. ..And as with all gumbos, the sausage you select makes a huge difference.
In the book, the recipe you are asking about is called "crawfish stew-fay" and it's a great one Marcelle has used for years.
To both questions: Yes, I think so but have never tried it.
Actually, no, I have received a recipe already.
Hi Betty -- You could use a small pillowcase.
Or yes, recycle any type of bag such as the rice bags; just dump out the rice into another container or a zip-top bag. The brand of rice pictured is widely available in New Orleans-area supermarkets.
I think you could use any type of cotton bag -- just something that breathes. I have made a German Christmas cookie before that is really better after at least a week of ripening. Is your old recipe a family one?
The idea is PLANNING, people. The more you plan, the less anxious you are, and the more time you have to get your act together before you leave.
I LOVE love love their version! Mine is slightly different, more creamy.

JetBlue Airways says it intends to introduce new seasonal flights from Long Beach, California to Anchorage, Alaska in May of next year.
Beginning 26 May, JetBlue plans to offer a single daily roundtrip flight between the two cities, which according to Innovata, currently have no direct link.
JetBlue states that during US peak summer travel months, Anchorage is in high demand for California residents.
JetBlue's flights to Anchorage mark the carrier's first route to the state of Alaska.

No time like present to fix Washington
"Stop fighting and start fixing." That, in a nutshell, is the watchword of a fairly recent political group called "No Labels," to which Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has been lending his efforts on the Senate floor and on the political talk show circuit.
A bluedog Democrat, focused on fiscal sanity and the conservative side of social issues, such as the pro-life cause, Manchin went to Washington with a determination to be a bridge between Democrats and Republicans. Or at least to promote dialogue.
Of late, Manchin has appeared on television paired with former Utah governor and 2012 presidential candidate Jon Huntsman and also with Sen. Mike Allen, R-Utah, to pitch the virtues of bipartisanship. Manchin and Huntsman, indeed, are the official No Labels co-leaders, as of Jan. 14, 2013.
All to the good as far as this columnist is concerned. Regular readers may recall that I ranked healing the partisan divide and getting the White House and congressional Republicans and Democrats working together as the No. 1 issue of the recent election cycle.
To right-wing Tea Party types and some on the far left fringe, "compromise" is the word that must never be uttered. Compromise, however, is the sum and substance of the political process. Without an allowance for give and take, bitter rancor and demonization of the opposition too often become the coin of the realm.
That can lead to such things as a willingness to let our country default on its debt obligations and risk plunging us back into recession. Or even a deeper dive into depression.
Such divisiveness explains in large part the American public's assigning the 2012 Congress a favorability rating that wavered between 13 and 19 percent.
No Labels was founded by, among others, Republican strategist Mark McKinnon and Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jackson, with a boost by CNN contributor and dedicated centrist John Avlon.
Speakers at its conferences have included New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a registered independent, former White House adviser David Gergen (who worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations), New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC's Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, a former GOP congressman from Florida.
Prominent among goals promoted by No Labels for the national political process are:
Bipartisan monthly meetings.
Filibuster reform (mostly to make it harder to filibuster and hold up legislation).
Requiring up or down votes on presidential appointments (which would mean that Republican senators would be unable to filibuster the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel to be Defense Secretary).
Bipartisan seating at all joint meetings or sessions of Congress, meaning each member should be seated next to at least one member of the other party.
Deny pay to Congress until a budget is passed.
When No Labels was launched two years ago, it was roundly mocked as "naive and patronizing."
Now it's being taken more to heart. As Manchin and Huntsman said in an op-ed piece they cowrote for The Washington Post: "It's time to start supporting our economy and stop subtracting from it. It's time to stop keeping score (in political battles) and take steps to start solving problems."
Just before President Obama delivered the State of the Union address one week ago, 40 members of Congress had taken to wearing the No Labels lapel pin. After that address, five more signed on. Manchin and Huntsman are constantly prodding others to join the cause.
It's a cause whose time has come. We should all wish No Labels well.
John Patrick Grace likes a line employed by John F. Kennedy while he was president: "Don't call me a liberal, don't call me a conservative; if you must call me something, call me a pragmatist." Grace is a book editor and publisher based in Huntington.

College volunteers assist with school testing
Jun. 25, 2014 @ 10:51 AM
More than 30 Vance-Granville Community College students and alumni recently volunteered as proctors for end-of-grade testing in several schools in Vance County.
The volunteers were stationed at Dabney Elementary, Pinkston Street Elementary, New Hope Elementary, Carver Elementary, Eaton-Johnson Middle and Henderson Middle schools.
Most of the volunteers were students in the school-age education program at the college.
The effort was organized by the college chapter of the Student North Carolina Association of Educators, a pre-professional organization that involves students in education and college transfer courses.

How Major is the Secondary Injury?
Page 2 of 2
Dx: Tibial Plateau Fracture
This one is easy if you know what to look for. On the AP portable view, you can see an effusion – a sign of either fracture or cartilage injury. There is also a subtle hint of fracture (see arrow). However, the cross-table view shows both the fracture and the fat-fluid level (lipo-hemarthrosis) extending into the joint. You wrap up the knee with a knee immobilizer as part of the patient packaging, and send them on their merry way to the trauma center.
Tibial plateau fractures are the 2nd most common type of knee fracture (after patellar fractures).
The lateral tibial plateau is involved in 75% to 90% of cases.
22% of tibial plateau fractures are subtle with minimal displacement – if suspected CT with coronal and sagittal reconstructions can rule-in or rule-out the diagnosis (although this would not be a priority in a head-injured patient at a non-Level I trauma center).
In the acute setting CT appears equivalent to MRI to detect ligament injuries associated with tibial plateau fractures.

Welcome to the this week's installment of QMember Stories, which features Kallikak - who celebrates a nearly 7-year quit! "I smoked 35 years total, interrupted by several earlier quits. I'm not sure that any of us keep track of the number of attempts, once it gets beyond "several". "The worst thing about my smoking was that I had no control over my addiction, and that I knew it was killing me. No one in my family, or my extended family, smokes. I was the only addict. They were very tactful about it, but it was clear that they all wanted me to quit. The final straw was an angina attack in July 2006. I instantly became a quitter at that moment. "I'd first found QuitNet the year before, in January of 2005, after an off-hand remark from someone (probably one of those relatives above) that there probably would be resources online to help with quitting. I did a Google search, and the rest is history.
"I quit on January 1st of that year, and the Q became my lifeline, a lifesaver. A couple dozen of us formed a club in January 2005, and we called it something really clever, like 'Jan2005 Quitters'. We shared a monumental goal, and we all started at the same time. I've never seen support like that, but I'm guessing that many clubs here have that magic about them. I'll never forget the first time a new quitter responded to one of my posts that I had been an inspiration. Whoa, talk about a rush!
"I had 10 months on my quitmeter when I was laid off from a long-time job. That triggered my addiction. I began smoking again, and didn't stop until the angina attack in July 2006. I've been smoke-free since then.
"I have two outstanding suggestions for anyone thinking about quitting smoking: First, make a list of what smoking was doing to your life, and the reasons you quit; and second, take your quit 'one crave at a time'. Just take care of the next one, and don't worry about the one after that. "If you come on to the Q, you can call me Bill. My username is Kallikak - a tribute to a family that was the subject of a study by H.H. Goddard, an early 20th century psychologist who thought he could tell if you were feeble minded just by looking at you; he also gave us the word `moron`!"
Keep coming back, and KTQ,

Help needed on making Ice Cream Cone CupCakes
@prterrell thanks for all the info. He decided at the last minute that it was too hot to bake but I definitely want to try making these soon.
@prterrell thanks for all the info. He decided at the last minute that it was too hot to bake but I definitely want to try making these soon.
In-N-Out used to be our favorite but now we've been converted to Five Guys.
I thought it was cheesy grits too. But I definitely want to try these out! Knowing they are eggs makes them even more appealing; although I would add cheese to make them cheesy eggs!
LOL at "Semi Ho-Made".
I have to admit that hearing about putting canned tomato soup in lasagna disgusts me.
I will never watch (not that I do now) her show again.
How insulting to the great state of New York.
Thanks for the advice so far.
I guess I wanted to make them a little fancier than just a Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade box mix (not that there is anything wrong with that). I was hoping for some good batter recipes (maybe vanilla bean or something else that would go well with the "theme").
Went there a few years ago for an anniversary dinner (in Tacoma WA). Not as good as an authentic Fondue restaurant (like La Fondue in Los Gatos, CA) but it was fun. Definitely very expensive but worth doing if just for the fun.
First name, middle (and actually last too) initial. 'nuff said.
Whoa! Loving the anger. I thought the show was fluff but cute fluff that I could watch with my daughters now that school was out. It was a cooking show that they could follow along and show some interest in. Perfect for a prime time spot.
Maybe the cupcake vitriol is well deserved from the "real foodies" out there but really it's a show about cupcakes, it can't be taken that seriously; it's just a guilty summer pleasure!
@ag3208 they have Miss Vickie's in the Albertsons' chaing here in Washington state.
My favorite chip at the moment is the Basalmic Sweet Onion (i think) from Lays. I can down a big bag of those in like 4 minutes flat.
I have to second the spaetzel; love the stuff!
Ate there a few weeks ago and now I think that's going to be my lunch spot today!
Sweet potato bread. I really think my grandmother just took sweet potato pie filling that she made and cooked it in a loaf pan but I remember it so clearly.
Must have that utensil holder.... Am checking Amazon right now.
Creme Brulee hands down.
LOL. My husband has a total crush on Racheal Ray. I swear his eyes light up whenever she is on-screen. He says it's because she honestly looks like she eats the food she cooks.
I really like Big Daddy's House. That is now my favorite show behind good eats. I like Aaron's food because it's like soul food favorites with a little bit of new interpretation. My mother in law (from Louisiana) will not watch the Neely's ever since she saw them put some white sugar in their pot of collard greens (LOL, I do that too but don't let anyone see me do it).
This has been a fun post!
Nice to see someone else feeling the Sonic frustration. We've driven from Marysville to Puyallup for a Sonic fix until we found that there was one closer to us in Ferndale.
Or Chili's too. Not one of those near by either!
Piggybacking off the frozen burger diatribe from yesterday....
We have multiple Foreman Grills (my MIL gave us one for Christmas). We use them indoors to cook frozen burgers, fish or anything else.
OMG ! Thank you for featuring FROST! I am in live with this place.
They have the best donuts and the nicest staff.
Smokey Bacon Maple Bar FTW!
I can't wait to try this!
Well, living about 50 miles from a big city, your choices are limited to Taco Bell and McDonalds for late night cuisine.
Had Corned Beef & Cabbage for lunch at work. Probably nothing Irish for dinner though; it's $3 Margarita night at the Mexican place in town!!
I hate Cilantro with a passion. Loathe it so very much.
Chives would have to be on my favorites list though!
I love Peas!!!!
On Big Daddy's House he has a recipe for Gnocci with Bacon & Peas that I can't wait to try!
Strawberries! Our town is known for its yearly Strawberry Festival!
Loving the Seattle vibe! I've lived here for 6 years and haven't been to Pike Place yet but the recent articles make me want to rectify that sitiuation STAT!
Hello All.
Was watching Cupcake Wars last night with the family and mentioned to my husband (before the guy from MILK did it) that you could even make cupcakes inside of cake cones.
Well, once he saw them, he decided that he had to have Ice Cream Cone CupCakes for Father's Day this upcoming weekend.
Now, I'm an Engineer, not a chef but with three daughters (ages 13, 7, & 5) I figured the 4 of us should be able to figure something out.
But I was hoping some of the gang here at SE could at least point us in the right direction: good flavor/recipe for batter, frosting ideas or how to get a ganache that replicates hot fudge. i'm pretty sure I can handle the cherry on top though!
Thanks in Advance!
Well, it's apparent that many people here have nothing but disdain for Sandra and her Semi-Homemade show. My question is rather, what Food Network shows do folks on SE actually watch and enjoy?
My three girls and I are Food Network Junkies and we always can fall back on episodes of Big Daddy's House, Good Eats and Ace of Cakes on the DVR when there's nothing on. I think my 5 year old recognized Paula Deen before she even knew what a ktichen was!
So what's your guilty Food Network pleasure? Have you ever tried any recipes you saw on a show and how did it go? Personally, I've made Halushki that I saw on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives; red beans and rice from Big Daddy's House and Collard Greens featured on Good Eats.
Hi, I have a bit of a dilemma. I have never been exposed to a lot of sushi but at the new job I have, my boss is CRAZY about the stuff and often invites the team out for sushi with him.
The past few times I've had other engagements but I won't be able to hide out forever.
That being said, I need to some tips on how to start appreciating sushi especially since I've never been really exposed to it. I grew up in Georgia and rural upstate New York so sushi was not someting that was easily available or popular.
Any suggestions/recommendations would be great. I do love seafood (salmon, catfish, shrimp, fried clams, etc) but I would be completely lost as to what to order at a sushi bar. I'm not really big on heat in my spices so I know to stay away from Wasabi.

We present our work on the optimization of thick, large area YB$_2$C$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) film growth through response surface methods. Thick, large area films have commercial uses and have recently been used in dramatic demonstrations of levitation and suspension. Our films are grown via pulsed laser deposition and we have optimized growth parameters via response surface methods. Response surface methods is a statistical tool to optimize selected quantities with respect to a set of variables. We optimized our YBCO films' critical temperatures, thicknesses, and structures with respect to three PLD growth parameters: deposition temperature, laser energy, and deposition pressure. We will present an overview of YBCO growth via pulsed laser deposition, the statistical theory behind response surface methods, and the application of response surface methods to pulsed laser deposition growth of YBCO. Results from the experiment will be presented in a discussion of the optimized film quality.

Wired Campus: Law Reviews Create Web Magazine Offering Condensed Articles
Publication Date:April 23, 2009
Source:The Chronicle Of Higher Education
Author:Steve Kolowich
The Chronicle of Higher Education's Wired Campus blog writes about the launch of a new Web magazine, The Legal Workshop, that is meant to help make law reviews more accessible to the general population. Originally devised by former Stanford Law Review Chief Editor Joseph Edelheit Ross '07, The Legal Workshop is a consortium of seven leading law reviews:
The idea is to open up the content of law reviews to a wider audience and to make legal debates influential and relevant beyond academic cloisters. "As a profession," Michael Montano, an editor of the Stanford Law Review, told the Web site Legal Blog Watch, "we owe it to the public to produce work that is relevant to society as a whole."
