Patience is not exactly my strongest virtue. I've been a quick-tempered toe-tapper from the time I was tiny. Simply put: I hate to wait. Obviously, these impetuous tendencies are sorely tested on a regular basis, as I'm forced to keep the new beauty trends to myself until the appropriate moment arrives. Thankfully, today marks the end of my dutiful silence, as it's finally time to talk about all the season's best hair and makeup trends. Read on for a few of my favorite spring styles and the top products for getting these looks-hopefully you'll adore them as much as I do!Blood Orange Lips
There's something so festive and saucy about a bright orange-red lip, so I was ecstatic to see this look at the spring shows. My favorite example of the zingy shade showed up on Proenza Schouler's runway; I love the juxtaposition of the perfect, bold lipstick with modern, slightly messy hair. It seems that Chloe Sevigny is also a fan of the vivid hue. Seen above at the premiere of Big Love, Sevigny's makeup artist-the peerless Lisa Storey-painted her lips with MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger ($14) and left the rest of her face relatively bare, save a few coats of black mascara.
Product-wise, I've got lots of favorites for your consideration, including: Sephora Brand's Lip Attitude-Chic Lipstick in Chic Ruby ($12), Make Up For Ever's Lipstick in Orange Red 204 ($19), and Chanel's Rouge Allure Lip Colour in Dazzling ($30), which was used to create January Jones' stunning look at the SAG awards. All of that said, in my opinion, the must-buy product for perfect blood-orange lip is Max Factor's new Vivid Impact Lipcolor in Ms. Right ($8.97). Created by makeup guru Pat McGrath, the lipstick has an exceptionally true and bold color, which is key for this look!
Swingy Straight Hair
I don't foresee the end of beachy waves or perfect pin curls anytime soon, but this spring, it's all about swingy straight hair for me! Unlike the flat-ironed hair of seasons' past, this look is full of movement, relatively natural, and doesn't call for perfectly pressed hair. It's sleek, but imperfect: just look to the Chloe, Balmain, and Givenchy runways for reference. My other hair-oine for this swingy straight style is Claudia Schiffer. Her ultra-healthy, lustrous hair always impresses me and she embodies this beauty trend in a dazzling way.
If you don't naturally have Schiffer-like locks or supermodel-style straight hair (and really, who does?), I found a few tools that will help you approximate the look. First of all, I highly recommend picking up Redken's Satinwear 02 Ultimate Blow-Dry Lotion ($15). While I'm not usually so keen on prep products, this heat-styling lotion always makes my hair feel extra silky and smooth. Also, I've found that using a paddle brush to dry my hair (instead of a round brush) gives me a great bounce-to-smooth ratio. If you don't already own this style, The Body Shop's Paddle Brush ($16), which is made from Forest Stewardship Council certified beech wood, and Sephora's Paddle Brush ($32) are both excellent options.
Violet Accents
There were lots of totally natural faces on the spring ruways, but frankly, I'm not really into beige or nude makeup. Instead, I prefer to play with something a little edgier, like the boldly futuristic beauty look shown at Zac Posen. While it's not for shrinking violets, I love the metallic purple lip that makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury gave the models. She used MAC cosmetics to create this notable style, starting with the brand's Lip Pencil ($13) in Magenta as a base, followed by a layer of Lipstick ($14) in Cyber and a coat of MAC Pro Lipstick in Violetta to finish.
Of course, not everyone's ready for an amethyst mouth-which is totally fine-but don't let that stop you from attempting a version of this look. Take a tip from Rihanna and try a violet-indigo eyeliner, like Revlon's Matte Luxurious Color Kohl Eyeliner ($6.99) in Very Violet. If that's still too much, I'd like to suggest my two favorite new nail polishes: Chanel's Le Vernis Nail Polish in Vendetta ($23) and Lippmann Collection Nail Lacquer in Purple Rain ($15). Vendetta is a seriously rich dark violet, while Purple Rain is the exact shimmery lilac used in Posen's runway show. They're the perfect way to dip your toe-or finger-into the trend.
Boho Updos
As much as I enjoy having long hair, there are many days I want it off my neck and out of my face. Such moments call for buns or twists, but I loathe anything that looks too dainty or mature. Happily I found loads of inspiration on the spring runways, as the models at Armani, Issa, and Max Azria all showed fabulously unfussy pinned-up hair. I'm particularly infatuated with the hippie-chic style shown at Trovata: a casual knot at the nape of the neck, embellished with two tiny twists. I also plan on trying my own version of the bohemian-glam hairstyle Nicole Richie wore to The Art of Elysium's Heaven Gala last month. Her pinned-up baby braids remind me a bit of the boho braid, albeit a much more fashion-forward version!
Part of the reason I adore this look so much is because it's completely casual and open to interpretation, not to mention the fact that it's seriously easy to do! That said, I think it helps to have a little texture in your hair when you're creating a boho updo. Try a spritz of ghd's Sea Spray For Matte Waves ($24) on damp hair to add body and encourage waves. (On a side note: the spray was used backstage at Proenza Schouler to create the Jerry Hall-homage hair seen at the spring show!) Another way to add a little texture is with my other new obsession-Big Sexy Hair's Volumizing Dry Shampoo ($16.95). The formula is derived from some magical combination of clay and minerals-not talc, like most dry shampoos-so the spray is complete invisible. It's seriously amazing!

Bethany: Is your house on fire, Clark?
Clark: No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights.
— From "Christmas Vacation," Warner Bros. Pictures, 1989
Aside from Black Friday sale papers, nothing trumpets the holidays' approach as ubiquitously as Christmas lights.
Incandescents and LEDs — shaped like icicles, stars, pearls, bulbs, bells and candles — begin going up in November. They wrap around streetlights, drape over bushes, border holiday banners and blanket trees of every sort.
Those are institutional lights, installed at the behest of downtown merchants, Chambers of Commerce and neighborhood associations. Once Thanksgiving passes, the rest of America gets involved, stringing up lights inside their homes and on their roofs.
Christmas trees rise, some prefabricated and pre-lit. Real trees — Douglas firs, Blue Spruce, Fraser pines and more — make their way from tree farms and retail stores into living rooms, only to be festooned with baubles, garlands, bulbs and, of course, sparkling lights.
For most Americans alive today — indeed, for most people in first world countries — all those hundreds of thousands of blazing bulbs, all those millions, are an essential part of the holidays. Just try to imagine a Christmas without them.
Yet it wasn't always this way.
Holiday lights as we know them are a relatively recent invention, spurred largely by the ability to harness electricity. Their origins, though, go back to a time long ago, when winter nights filled the world with blackness and the return of the sun seemed in doubt.
Some writers say Yule logs were the first holiday lights, ignited by pagans during festivals centered around the winter solstice. Others credit Yule logs as the first lights but offer alternative time frames, saying the practice began somewhere between the 4th and 12th centuries.
"It all started with the pagans," confidently states a "Mental Floss" blog from 2010. "The ritual use of evergreens and lights during winter celebrations predates Christianity. Their symbolism (life in the dead of winter) must not have been lost on Christians, who adopted the pagan Yule log and began bringing evergreen trees into their homes during the winter.
"In the 17th century, the Germans combined the two elements and the tradition of illuminating the Christmas tree with candles began."
Blazing candles perched upon the branches of a dead tree?
"Obviously, this was a pretty bad idea," notes a 2009 piece on the Gizmodo website. "So bad that, unlike today, the tree would only be put up a few days before Christmas and was promptly taken down afterward. … Candles would remain lit only for a few minutes per night, and even then families would sit around the tree and watch it vigilantly, buckets of sand and water nearby. …
"By 1908, insurance companies wouldn't even pay for damages caused by Christmas tree fires. Their exhaustive research demonstrated that burning wax candles that were loosely secured to a dried-out tree inside your house wasn't safe."
By that point, electric lights were available, albeit at extraordinarily high prices. Thomas Edison, the man credited with inventing the light bulb, made the first string of lights and displayed them outside his Menlo Park laboratory during the Christmas season of 1880. Those lights weren't on a tree, though. That took a couple more years.
"Edward H. Johnson put the very first string of electric Christmas tree lights together in 1882," according to the Library of Congress website. "Johnson, Edison's friend and partner in the Edison's Illumination Company, hand-wired 80 red, white and blue light bulbs and wound them around his Christmas tree. Not only was the tree illuminated with electricity, it also revolved."

By JULENE REESEUSU Extension writer
Some plastics can be recycled for water or food storage.
However, other plastics contain toxins not suitable for storage.
Still other plastic containers may be difficult to disinfect, allow evaporation or begin to collapse during long periods of time.
In general when determining which plastics can be reused, a good rule of thumb is containers that originally stored food can be safely used for storage purposes, pointed out Kathleen Riggs, Utah State University Extension family and consumer sciences agent.
The USU Extension family and consumer sciences agent recommended that Carbon County residents consider the following information before opting to recycle containers for food or water storage.
â¢PET or PETE - Polyethylene terephthalate plastic is listed as number one inside the recycling triangle diagram.
PET plastic is clear, tough, and has gas and moisture barrier properties.
The plastic is commonly used for beverages such as soft drinks, juices and bottled water.
It is also used for foods such as peanut butter, pickles and salad dressing.
People should keep in mind that there will always be a remaining scent in containers that originally stored food with strong odors, advised Riggs.
â¢HDPE - High density polyethylene is the plastic commonly used for milk bottles, some juice containers and laundry products. It is shown as number two on the triangle code.
The containers can be translucent or colored and are somewhat stiff and well-suited for packaging products with a short shelf life, such as milk.
However, used milk jugs are not well suited as food storage containers, cautioned Riggs.
While the plastic is considered food grade, milk containers are difficult to sanitize properly and the plastic will break down during extended periods od time.
Chlorine bleach containers hold up somewhat better. But if water is stored in the containers, it should be used for purposes other than drinking such as for laundry or dishes.
People should avoid using plastic garbage bags or plastic grocery bags made from the plastic as food storage liners, indicated the USU Extension family and consumer sciences agent.
â¢PVC - Most people think of plastic pipes when the term polyvinyl chloride is used. The triangle code lists PVC plastic as the number three.
The plastic weathers well, is stable for surrounding electrical cables and is a staple in home window frames, floor tiles and siding. PVC can be used for both food and non-food purposes.
However, people should make certain the container has not been treated for use in industry or construction before storing food in it, cautioned the USU Extension family and consumer sciences agent.
â¢LDPE - Low density polyethylene plastics are listed as the number four on the triangle code.
The plastics are used for a wide range of items like dry-cleaning as well as bread or frozen food bags and squeezable bottles for mustard.
To recycle the items for food storage, people consider what was in the containers previously and how easily they can be sanitized.
LDPE is probably not the best plastic for long-term food storage.
â¢PP - Polypropylene is noted as the number five on the triangle code.
The plastic is tough and may be stiff or flexible, noted Riggs. Yogurt containers, margarine tubs and medicine bottles are examples of food grade PP plastic containers.
Polypropylene is also used to make ice scrapers, oil funnels, rakes and pallets along with refrigerator food storage bins.
Polypropylene is a widely used plastic.
â¢PS - Polystyrene ranks as a number six on the recycling triangle.
It is a rigid plastic or a foam that is clear, hard and brittle. Typical uses include cups, plates, cutlery, egg cartons, meat trays and compact disc jackets.
While PS is widely used in packaging, it doesn't usually come in containers suitable for food storage, commented the USU Extension family and consumer sciences agent.
â¢Other - The last category is the number seven. The code means that the package is made with a resin other than the first six or is a combination of two or more of the plastics.
Number seven containers are commonly found in three and five gallon reusable water jugs, some citrus juice containers and ketchup bottles.
As a general rule, the most common plastics suitable for food storage are made from number one PET or PETE or combination number seven, concluded the USU Extension family and consumer sciences agent.

Here's an old joke about Jews, Chinese people, and food:
Two Chinese men are walking out of Katz's Delicatessen. One says to the other, "The problem with Jewish food is that two weeks later you're hungry again."
Here's another one:
If, according to the Jewish calendar, the year is 5764, and, according to the Chinese calendar, the year is 5724, what did the Jews eat for forty years?
That Jews have an affinity for Chinese food is no secret. The Jews know it. The Chinese know it. Everyone knows it. Until the dispersal of middle-class Jews to the New York suburbs was complete in the 1970s and 1980s, Chinese take-out shops opened on every corner of the city. It was said that you could tell how Jewish a neighborhood was by the number of Chinese restaurants.
Going out "to eat Chinese" continues to be a Sunday ritual for many Jewish families; even kosher families know that there are many kosher Chinese restaurants. In Brooklyn, there's one called Shang Chai, a play on the Hebrew word for "life," chai. Any Sunday at 6 p.m., step into Shun Lee West on West 64th Street, the Upper West Side's upscale Chinese restaurant, and you'd think they were holding a bar mitzvah reception.
Here's another joke, although it's no joke:
What do Jews do on Christmas? They eat Chinese and go to the movies.
Eat Chinese because those were the only restaurants open on Christmas. Go to the movies because all the Christians were home, and you could get into the theater without waiting on line.
That the Chinese are not Christian is important to understanding the appeal of the Chinese restaurant to Jews. If you went to an Italian restaurant, which, aside from the coffee shop, the luncheonette, or the deli, was likely the only kind of restaurant in your neighborhood before the American food revolution, you might encounter a crucifix hanging over the cash register, or at least a picture of the Madonna or a saint. That was pretty intimidating to even a nonobservant Jew. The Chinese restaurant might have had a Buddha somewhere in sight, but Buddha was merely a rotund, smiling statue -- he looked like your fat Uncle Jack. He wasn't intimidating at all.
Important, too, was that the Chinese were even lower on the social scale than the Jews. Jews didn't have to feel competitive with the Chinese, as they might with Italians. Indeed, they could feel superior. As Philip Roth points out in Portnoy's Complaint, to a Chinese waiter, a Jew was just another white guy.
Italians didn't go out to eat as much as Jews. Italian-Americans spent Sunday afternoons gathering in large family groups, eating Italian food at home. The Italians and Jews continued to live together when they left their immigrant ghettos on the Lower East Side and started moving to the boroughs, along with the Chinese who wanted to leave the impoverished conditions of the Lower East Side as much as any other group. The Chinese that lived among the Jews and Italians in the boroughs were the owners of the restaurants and the hand laundries.
So the Jews' proximity to Chinese restaurants was important, and let's not discount the fact that Chinese food tastes good and costs little. When I asked my parents why, when they were courting in the 1940s, their dates always ended with a Chinese meal, and why we continued to eat in Chinese restaurants as a family more often than at other kinds of restaurants, the answer was simple and obvious. They could afford it. In their youth, during and right after World War II, a classic combination plate of egg roll, fried rice, and usually chow mein cost 25 cents.
The attraction of the forbidden aspects of Chinese food should not be underestimated, either. Eating forbidden foods validates your Americanness: it is an indication that you have "arrived." Although both Italian and Chinese cuisines feature many foods that are proscribed by the Jewish dietary laws, such as pork, shrimp, clams, and lobster, there are two big differences. The Chinese don't combine dairy and meat in the same dish, as Italians do -- in fact, the Chinese don't eat dairy products at all. And the Chinese cut their food into small pieces before it is cooked, disguising the nonkosher foods. This last aspect seems silly, but it is a serious point. My late cousin Daniel, who kept kosher, along with many other otherwise observant people I have known, happily ate roast pork fried rice and egg foo yung. "What I can't see won't hurt me," was Danny's attitude.
Even Jews who maintained kosher homes often cheated by serving Chinese takeout on paper plates. I had one neighbor who would only let her family eat Chinese on paper plates in the basement, lest the neighbors across the alley that divided the houses only by about ten feet should look into her kitchen window and see those telltale white containers on the table.
Chinese Roast Meat on Garlic Bread with Duck Sauce
This is an exquisite example of Jewish crossover food, "fusion food" these days. It was a dish that made first- and second-generation Jews of the 1950s, Jews who no longer abided by the kosher laws, feel like they were truly Americans as well as urbane and sophisticated. Imagine what a scandal it was to observant parents and grandparents, what a delicious act of defiant assimilation it was, to eat Chinese roast pork on Italian garlic bread.
This was invented in the Catskills and brought back to Brooklyn where, today, substituting roasted veal for the trayf meat, the sandwich survives in kosher delicatessens in Brooklyn and Queens. (It is particularly well done at Adelman's, a delicatessen on King's Highway and Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn.) With pork, it is also a hot item in diners on the South Shore of Long Island, where Jews from Brooklyn and Queens moved decades ago.
By all accounts, the sandwich was created sometime in the mid-1950s at Herbie's in Loch Sheldrake, New York. It was the most popular Jewish-style deli-restaurant in the area. According to Freddie Roman, the Borscht Belt comic who years later starred in the nostalgia show Catskills on Broadway, Herbie's was where all the entertainers would gather after their last shows at the hotel nightclubs. "Specifically for that sandwich," says Freddie. "And everyone else had to eat what the celebrities ate."
Herbie's sandwich of Chinese Roast Pork on Italian Garlic Bread was so popular among the summer crowd in "The Mountains," that it was imitated back in "The City." I remember when it was introduced at Martin's and Senior's, two fabulously successful, middle-class family restaurants on Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
In just a few years, it seemed Chinese roast pork on garlic bread became so popular in the southern tier of Brooklyn communities -- from Canarsie through Mill Basin to Bay Ridge -- that every diner and coffee shop made it. The sandwich even made it to Manhattan in the 1960s, at a place called The Flick, an ice cream parlor and casual restaurant near the then-new movie houses on Third Avenue.
Eventually, Herbie's, which closed in Loch Sheldrake only several years ago, opened Herbie's International on Avenue N in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn, where many of its Borscht Belt customers lived. It, too, was a well-priced family restaurant, serving, as its name was meant to imply, a little of this and a little of that from all over. But, as would be expected in this neck of the woods, "international" was really limited to red-sauced southern Italian, Cantonese-American Chinese, and a few specialties of the Yiddish kitchen. Maybe they served French crêpes, too.
Herbie's original sandwich was undoubtedly made with something other than real butter. Who knows what grease Herbie used. And the garlic flavor may have come from garlic powder, not fresh garlic. There are garlic spreads available in some supermarkets that probably come pretty close to the original flavor. If making the sandwich with pork, you might as well use butter and chopped fresh garlic. Of course, to make it a kosher meat sandwich (using veal), the fat would have to be vegetable-oil based, like olive oil. If you are making a kosher sandwich with veal, using olive oil and chopped garlic not only makes it kosher but also more contemporary. In that case, leave off the Chinese duck sauce, too, and douse the meat with balsamic vinegar. There should be a certain "white bread" quality to the roll with either version. The duck sauce used to flavor the meat is an apricot-based, sweet condiment; Saucy Susan is a popular brand.
Serves 4
4 tablespoons softened butter or extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 (6- to 7-inch) French-style loaves, not too crusty nor too firm
1 pound Chinese-style red-roasted pork, or plain roast veal
Duck sauce or balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
Chinese mustard (optional)
To prepare the bread, in a small bowl, make garlic butter by working the butter and minced garlic together with a fork until well combined. For an oil dressing, combine the olive oil and garlic. Let the spread stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or up to a few hours.
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Heat the bread directly on the middle rack of the oven for about 3 minutes, until hot. Leave the oven on. Remove the loaves from the oven; for each loaf, hold it with a potholder and halve it the long way with a serrated knife.
Spread the cut sides of each loaf with garlic butter or drizzle with the garlic oil. Place the loaf halves, spread-side up, on the middle oven rack and toast until the edges are browned.
To assemble the sandwiches, arrange a layer of sliced roast meat on the bottom half of each loaf. Drizzle the meat with about 2 tablespoons of duck sauce, and then very lightly with Chinese mustard.
Serve open with the top half of the bread, spread-side up, alongside the meat-filled bottom.
Chinese-American Chow Mein
There was absolutely nothing trayf about basic chow mein. The base was all vegetables. It could even be served in a dairy restaurant, and it was. Sure it could be topped with roast pork or shrimp, but it was just as Chinese topped with chicken or beef, or nothing. Chow mein became mainstream New York food in the 1930s. It was on the menus of kosher and nonkosher restaurants, and hardly a specialty of just Chinese restaurants. Even the chichi Stork Club had a whole list of different chow mein choices. At the other end of the spectrum entirely, Nathan's, the hot dog emporium on Coney Island, featured chow mein on a hamburger bun garnished with crisp fried noodles. It still does.
Serves 3 or 4
2 tablespoons peanut, canola, or corn oil
2 medium-large onions, peeled, cut in half through the root end, and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
4 ribs celery, thinly cut on a sharp diagonal (about 2 cups)
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
11/2 cups sliced white mushrooms (about 5 ounces)
11/4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1/2 cup sliced fresh water chestnuts (optional)
About 2 cups white meat chicken, cooked any way and cut into strips (or red-roasted Chinese pork or veal, or sliced steak or roast beef)
Fried Chinese noodles, available at any supermarket
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until very hot but not smoking. Add the onions and celery and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onions are slightly wilted.
Add the garlic and mushrooms and stir-fry just 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the chicken broth, cover the pot, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, in a small cup, with a fork, blend together the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth and the sherry, soy sauce, and cornstarch.
Uncover the pot and stir in the bean sprouts and water chestnuts. Give the cornstarch mixture a final stir to make sure the starch is dissolved. Add it to the pot and stir it until the liquid in the pot is thickened. Taste for seasoning. You may want to add more salt or soy sauce.
Serve immediately, topped with the chicken, on a bed of fried Chinese noodles. It is best when eaten immediately, but you can reheat it, gently, if need be, adding a bit more liquid as necessary.

Mar 28th 2008 Compiling Audition Library in Mac OS 10.5
The Audition library implements a model of the audio filtering in the ear. This is necessary for the simulation and computation of more complex models like the auditory roughness. It is originally distributed as a dynamic library for windows systems, but also comes with the source code. The files can be downloaded from http://lumiere.ens.fr/Audition/tools/realtime
or my version for Mac OS from here:
Audition depends on Flext, a C++ library that allows to compile the same code for different systems (Pd and Max). It also allows the use of pthreads for multi-threading programs. For the purposes of this work, Flext source code was downloaded from the SVN repository via checkout:
svn co https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/externals/grill/flext/ flext
Also from the same place, I downloaded xsample, a library that uses flext, to test the installation.
The instructions in the 'build.txt' files are clear and enough to compile the system. Caveat: in some of the files you are supposed to edit, there are English mistakes that change completely the meaning of the instruction: it says for example, uncomment the following line to inhibit this behavior. In fact it should be left commented to achieve the said purpose.
Once Flext is installed, I compile xsample, easily. Again, for the compilation, I use the same script provided with the source code, something like:
bash {path to Flext sourcecode files}/build.sh pd gcc
The details are explained in the file 'build.txt.'
I tried to use XCode but it was impossible in a reasonable amount of time to compile it.
To compile the Audition library, I used the same procedure but additionally did the next things:
- I created the file 'package.txt.' This file configures the installation.
- Change all the lines like this:
- FLEXT_LIB("help, carg_mm cangle_mm", cangle_mm)
- For something like this:
- FLEXT_LIB("cangle_mm, carg_mm, help", cangle_mm)
- Create bindings to the help patches in the constructor of the function by including the DefineHelp("class_name") declaration.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min
TOTAL TIME: 10 hr
- 3 pound Denver roast of venison, cut into 6- by 3-inch pieces
- 2 heads garlic, cloves separated and smashed
- 1/2 cup savory or thyme leaves, lightly crushed
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, slightly cracked
- 1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Toss venison with garlic, savory, wine, allspice, peppercorns, and 1/4 cup oil in a sealable bag. Marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 8 hours.
Bring venison to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
Discard marinade and pat meat dry. Sprinkle on all sides with 1 tablespoon kosher salt, then 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper. Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown meat on all sides in 2 or 3 batches, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a shallow baking pan.
Roast until venison registers 125°F on an instant-read thermometer (inserted 2 inches horizontally into meat) for rare, 5 to 8 minutes (depending on thickness of meat). Let stand on a cutting board 10 minutes before slicing across the grain.
Cooks' notes:
·Venison can be marinated up to 24 hours.
·You can substitute a 3-pound trimmed and tied center-cut beef tenderloin roast for the venison (do not cut into pieces). Follow recipe above, roasting until beef registers 120°F, 25 to 30 minutes for medium-rare.

COULD DUBIE BE AN ISLANDER AGAIN?DP done for season? groin strain for Joey Mac
UPDATED 7:55 pm – At 5:01 of the first period, Joey MacDonald left the game with a groin strain and was replaced by Yann Danis. He will be re-evaluated tomorrow.
We mostly joked about it happening when Wade Dubielewicz bolted Russia in mid-December, but Greg Logan has just reported that Dubie could be an Islander again in the very near future. GM Garth Snow told Logan that the team has had some talks with the cult favorite's agent.
The bigger story of a Dubielewicz signing would be the cause. Rick DiPietro has had a series of doctors visits the last few days, and we could know this week if he can play again this season or will be shut down.
On the MSG Plus pre-game, Snow admitted he was "concerned" about the health of DiPietro but reiterated the organization will continue to have a cautious approach to the goalie's recovery.
Looks like we could have resolution on DiPietro soon. And quite possibly the return of Du-bie, Du-bie.

|Move-In Day for New Apps
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 20 August 2010 08:38
Watch out for lost parents and excited students as the new freshman class at ASU arrives for move-in day today. Several thousand new students—accompanied by family—will be trying to find their dorms, where to eat, and working to set up a life away from home—many for the first time.
That means a mess for traffic around campus, where teams of volunteers will be trying to help get everyone to the right dorm and get unloaded,and a mess in just about every shopping venue, where all the items needed for their new life away from home will quickly come off the shelves. Most students have been through orientation, but there will still be some disorientation as these new students—and their lost parents—try to navigate today, so watch out today.

Product 840/1011
Pattern delivered as an electronic download.
Meet The Rainbow Girls! I first designed some of these girls for a metals class I was taking at Penland School of Crafts (they became copper pendants). I love them and I've continued to doodle them after that class - and now I offer them to you. Each girl is about 3 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide. They're perfect for adding to an MP3 cozy or making a pin (both seen in the photos stitched up in felt).
You'll get a full-sized pattern - regular and reversed for use with iron-on transfer tools. You'll also get a complete color and stitch guide, telling you exactly what colors and stitches I used on the example you see in the first photo.
You've never done any embroidery before? No problem! All of these girls are done with just three stitches. Easy ones! And the pattern has links to videos teaching you how to do all of them. :-)
Expect to spend an hour or two stitching each girl.

The United States Secret Service came to Borger - one agent at least.
Don Savage of the Secret Service was the featured guest at the Borger Rotary Club on Tuesday afternoon. He has been with the service for 10 years, and prior to that he worked as a police officer in Omaha, Neb.
He lives in the Lubbock area with his wife of 21 years and three teenage sons.
Savage said most people think of Secret Service as simply protection of the president, but the service is also involved in the investigation of financial crimes, which include credit card fraud, bank fraud, check fraud, and counterfeiting.
The Secret Service has a dual mission, which includes protection for the president, vice-president, former presidents, presidential candidates, and foreign dignitaries; and its investigations division.

SoF is so bot infested. Rose Online was good, but its pretty dead right now.
i know this is an old thread , and since it was just only a few days back when i last played scions of fate , i would like to say the servers are very much empty now , i don't even see any botters these days , the town has about 70+ people(including shops) , the downside is u can't attack any moving monsters , they got to be still so u your attack will hit them else u will just be stunned when u attempt to do a hit(melee or range).
anyway rose pawns sof so hard , better graphics and definately better gameplay , sadly back then in year 2005 i only had nvidia 440 graphics card so i couldnt really play as smooth as i wanted it to be , its p2p now though.
Rose Online! YulGang is a waste of time.
She knows how to party.
Monsters are dumb in both games (AI) but ROSE online seems to be better.
How come the website roseonlinegame.com says the game is free? Im guessing this is a global server?

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Game rules are changing for urban China's quasi-market financing platforms that have been fueling local government infrastructure projects ever since the global financial crisis.
And the game players — mainly government officials in cities, townships and districts for whom the platforms have been convenient cash cows — are getting nervous.
Officials digesting the rules released Dec. 24 are looking for new ways to service existing platform debt, estimated by the central government at 10.7 trillion yuan ($1.72 trillion) nationwide as of late 2010. They also need financing for highways, subways, tourist venues and other construction projects planned or under way.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.
• Get the Caixin e-newsletter
The enterprise bond market offers a possible way out. Last year, platforms nationwide raised more than 636 billion yuan USDCNY, -0.0031% through inter-bank bond issues, a 148% increase from 2011, according to the China Central Depositary & Clearing Co. Ltd., a state-owned securities clearing and settlement agency.
But the adjusted game rules jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, central bank, China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) left local officials and their financing platforms without clear direction for fund-raising alternatives.
Rather than offer financial recommendations, such as bonds, they handed down what's been a hard-to-digest list of "don'ts" for local governments.
For example, the rules put new restrictions on build-operate-transfer schemes that platforms coordinated with private infrastructure contractors. Policy-makers also stripped platforms of the option to use government-owned land, schools and other assets as collateral for bank loans.
Among those disappointed by the changes is the manager of a local government financing platform in the southwestern province of Guizhou whose plan to use government assets as collateral for medium-term notes has now fallen through.
Specifically, the platform manager hoped to leverage his local government's stakes in a tap water company and companies that manage local tourism sites. Now, the government is seeking out new fund-raising sources.
What it Means to be Gay in China
A Chinese court has called for legislation that would make it easier for straight women married to gay men to get out of their marriages. The WSJ's Josh Chin tells us why this is a big issue in China.
The central government's latest policy "really grabbed us by the neck," he said.
Channel blocks
The December announcement came on top of NDRC parameters for platform bonds released in December and a Ministry of Land and Resources decision in November limiting the use of government land as loan collateral.
The central government's overall intent is to curb local government debt and more closely control platform operations, said Zhou Yuanfan, vice president of Pengyuan Credit Rating Co. Ltd.
Platforms thus may no longer use government office buildings, schools, hospitals and parks as collateral. Neither can land that a platform doesn't own be used to back bank loans or bonds, even though a credit agency analyst who asked not to be named warned that platforms denied access to land will quickly lose financial ground.
The analyst also forecast a significant decline in enterprise bonds issued by platforms due to a regulation that caps a company's bond issuance to 40% of total assets.
"It would be difficult to pump up platform assets going forward," the analyst said. "That would affect bond issuance ceilings, and the impact (on debt ratios) would be huge."

Dr. Leon G. Smith, Sr. Is a genius. He saved my life 3 times. In 1994 after being sick for months, I saw Dr. Leon & he looked at me and immediately knew I had a rare bacterial/fungal infection Actinomycosis. In 2011 along with his son Steven he cared for me at St. Michaels with a resistant case of c-diff that left me malnourished that some of my protein levels equaled someone in a Nazi concentration camp. I survived and thrived after that illness thanks to Dr. Leon and his son Dr. Steven. In April 2013 he diagnosed me with a life threatening staff infection in an abdominal incision. Again, before the test results were in he correctly diagnosed me. Dr. Leon is an 82 year old gentleman with a mind that is sharp as a tack. He has true love & compassion for his fellow man.

Dr. Leon Smith SR is the first infectious disease specialist in the state of NJ. I have used him for 7 years and he is the BEST ID specialist I have been to yet. He is in Roseland on Tueday afternoons and at St Michaels M T W F. He treats anyone that needs him although he has many many patients. I personally prefer Dr. Leon Senior's bedside manner over his son Steven Smith MD, his son is still a very good ID specialist and called brilliant like his father by his peers. You can't go wrong using Dr. Leon Smith Sr. for infectious disease. Dr. Leon Smith Jr is maternal/fetal medicine so don't get them mixed up. Four of his five children are doctors. I give him 5 stars for his caring manner and attempt to make everyone well that he possibly can. For a history, read this article. http://blog.nj.com/iamnj/2007/06/leon_smith.html

Buying guides
Timber and board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product,we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.
More Information
Forest Friendly
All our wood is 100% Forest Friendly. This means using it in our products (from doors to wallpaper) does not damage ancient forests, harm wildlife or jeopardize communities who depend on forests now and in the future.
B&Q is proud of our industry-leading timber policy and 20 years of pioneering work on forests.

Midwest Living Review
If you're looking for respite after a long day of all the shopping, dining and recreation Door County has to offer, you'll find it at the Juniper Inn. The bed-and-breakfast opened in 1995, with four rooms that boast queen-size beds, satellite TV, DVD players, wireless Internet and views of the surrounding trees and bucolic juniper meadow. (One caveat for addicted surfers: You may find the Wi-Fi a bit slow.) The nicest options, the Evergreen and Sunflower rooms, offer gas fireplaces, private balconies and whirlpool tubs, too. The two-story home is just minutes away from all the stuff to do in nearby Fish Creek, Ephraim and Sister Bay, but it's well off the main drag, so you don't need to worry about anything disturbing your sleep. Owner Mark Sneen has dedicated himself to "totally catering to guests," and he carries out his mission with exacting care. Breakfast items such as muffins, granola and fruit soup are homemade, and he's happy to serve as a concierge during the morning meal, offering advice to newcomers to the area. He also provides an expansive collection of books to enjoy in the tasteful living room, as well as a DVD library, and as a treat will leave a nice dollop of cream sherry in a decanter in your room. Oh, and feel free to bring bikes along for your visit, as the road outside is great for riding. Rates from $130 (May 15 Oct. 31) or $105 (Nov. 1 May 14).
