Glimpses of Malaysia's bike culture
Also see our post on Oriental Cycle Chic at the sister blog.

Japan also has a very strong bike culture, although they are a bit lacking on dedicated lanes and other infrastructure. You can tell it's a true bike culture, because unlike us here in North America, nobody wears a helmet - meaning that not only is cycling safe, it's also an every day practice.
In my fours years living over there I didn't see one single bike helmet, Just very stylish people riding bikes for practical uses.

Good point, corey!
Japan has indeed a very proud and stylish bike culture - as we've also blogged about before:

Its hard for Malaysia to build a strong bike culture as the main mode of transport we used are cars and motorcycles. The townships are connected by highways, so that alone prevents bike (unless its a motorcycle) on the road. Perhaps the only place to ride are in residential areas. However, the experience would not be as pleasant due to the cars parked on the side of the roads making the roads much narrower. This leaves the gardens & parks as the only viable option. The two countries in Asia that displayed strong bike culture would be Japan and China, followed by South Korea & Taiwan predominately in rural & suburban area.

- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Combine the flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy with roast. Yield: 8 servings.
Light-Bodied Red Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir.
Reviews for Mom's Roast Beef
Sort By :
"Great taste, but definitely cooked too long. I would shorten the cooking time by at least a half hour. Thank God the gravy was delicious because the roast needed it for moisture."
"excellent taste, used chuck roast, very tender and moist"
"very flavorful but I think i'm just not a fan of the eye of round cut. But it is economical so i will probably use it again."
"Very Good! When serving it to guests they asked for the recipe and wondered what the secret was! I put the sauce over my roast in the crock-pot rather than doing in on the stove top."
"I made it in a regular stock pan from my set and it worked well. I also added chopped potatoes and carrots and cooked with the roast, removing them before making gravy. It turned out well seasoned."

Oyster AdventureMonday, July 18th, 2011
We had some friends over Friday night who happen to be book publishers, who brought us their latest publication: Oyster Culture. The book is a great read, one we were happy to add to our library, all about the ecosystem and history of the famous oyster farms along California's Highway One in West Marin. We were so inspired by this text, we spent Saturday afternoon on an oyster adventure, in pursuit of a few dozen to bring home and enjoy on the half shell and also barbeque with friends.
Our first stop, Tomales Bay Oyster Company, specializing in fresh farmed oysters and clams, pulled straight from the ocean water before your eyes.
The place is packed with people filling up dozens of picnic tables, barbequing their shellfish fresh from the sea, with this sweet beach shack playing music while you enjoy the view.

Specifying shape properties
Each shape has its own tab on the Inspector on which you can set properties.
All shape objects have an anti-aliasing property that you can set. Anti-aliasing smooths the appearance of jagged edges between solid colors. When an object has curves or lines that are drawn at an angle, jagged edges might appear. With vertical or horizontal straight lines, jagged edges do not appear.
Rounded rectangle and elliptical arcs have additional properties you can set to control the shape of those objects.
- Smooth a shape's edges
- Change the roundness of a rounded rectangle object
- Change the shape properties of an elliptical arc

I am new to both MySQL and PHP so I really need help!
I have two tables 'Employee' and 'Holiday'.
in my holiday table I have the field 'employee ID' which is a foreign key from the primary key in the employee table.
I am creating a form where employees book holiday. so in the form you enter employee id, first/last name and date of holiday.
Can I have a drop down box in my holiday form for employee ID, where the values in the drop down box are the employee ID's from the employee table?
I apologise if you can not understand my explanation but I appreciate all help! Thanks

The doctoral degree program in Mind‐Body Medicine with a Specialization in Integrative Mental Health offers professionals a means to broaden and deepen their academic and professional development in the mental health field. The program provides the opportunity to build upon the foundation provided by a master's degree from Saybrook or from another regionally-accredited college or university.
Requirements Overview
Candidates for the Integrative Mental Health (IMH) specialization must have a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited University that qualifies them for a mental health license. They may be counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychiatric nurses, or psychiatrists, or have a degree that qualifies them for one of these specialties. The IMH degree is a 93 credit PhD. Applicants are allowed to transfer in up to 30 credits from their previous degree, leaving 63 credits in coursework for most applicants.
All students in the IMH specialization complete a regimen of research courses preparing them to complete a doctoral dissertation research project on a health related topic, and complete 150 hours in a Clinical Practicum placement or placements.
Students receiving a master's degree in Mind‐Body Medicine from Saybrook who are admitted into the doctoral degree in Mind‐Body Medicine can generally transfer many of these credits into their PhD program. These students must fulfill the doctoral degree requirements not completed at the master's level, including the remaining required courses and the dissertation or project. Meeting the doctoral requirements will include completing additional credits of doctoral coursework plus the dissertation or project, for a minimum total of 93 credits. Under some circumstances, additional courses required may total more than 93 credits.
For further information see Saybrook University MA/MS to PhD process as described in the University Admissions section of the Saybrook University website. Some credits from a master's degree earned in other programs at Saybrook may also be transferable into the doctoral degree program. Contact your mentor to find out if your credits qualify for transfer.
This program is not a clinical psychology program. However, it can offer those wishing to enhance and further develop their clinical knowledge and expertise, and who do not intend to use the degree to qualify for licensure, more flexibility in program planning than the Clinical Psychology Specialization program provides.

YIELD: Makes 12 pappadams
ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes
- About 5 cups vegetable oil
- 12 plain pappadams (about 4 inches in diameter)
Heat about 1 1/2 inches oil in a wok or 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over high heat until a tiny piece of pappadam dropped in oil quickly bobs to surface and expands (about 350°F).
Reduce heat to medium-high. Slip 1 pappadam into oil and let it expand to its full size and turn light brown, 10 to 30 seconds. Using tongs, flip it over quickly and fry other side until light brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining pappadams. (If pappadams don't expand immediately, oil is too cool; if they brown too quickly, oil is too hot.)
Cooks' Notes:
Indian ingredients can be mail-ordered from Kalustyans.com.
Pappadams keep in an airtight container at room temperature 2 days.

Headings Are Pick-Up Lines: 5 Tips for Writing Headlines That Convert
August 9, 2015
Attractive headlines and titles are critical in making the right first impression. Concise titles that sound authentic and relevant get noticed.
Evidence-Based User Experience Research, Training, and Consulting
Attractive headlines and titles are critical in making the right first impression. Concise titles that sound authentic and relevant get noticed.
Tell your story on top-level pages in 'About Us.' People who trust you are much more open to engaging with your organization and website.
Good FAQ pages use legible typography, chunking, appropriate spacing, easy navigation to individual questions, and reflect the current questions of the site users.
A usable website FAQ can improve products, services, information, and user experience as part of your knowledge management process.
The words in a link label make a strong suggestion about the page that is being linked to. The destination page should fulfill what the anchor text promises.
B2B sites and other sites with specialized content that target professionals or enthusiasts should use their audiences' jargon to communicate more precisely and professionally.
Links that follow up on the user's current interest encourage site exploration and reduce bounce rates. With the proper invitation, people will stay longer on your site.
Key content requirements for product pages are: answer users' questions, be direct, and help with product comparison.
Longer pages can benefit users. Accordions shorten pages and reduce scrolling, but they increase the interaction cost by requiring people to decide on topic headings.
Deviating from old writing guidelines makes digital content seem very fresh!!
Unless faced with life-changing information, most site visitors won't read all of the content provided but settle for a "good-enough" answer. Better sorting and clearer writing satisfy users without exhausting the limited time they're willing to spend on a website.
Web writing differs from print writing to emphasize scannability. Some grammar rules are worth breaking if they improve fast comprehension.
To help users quickly find what they need, anchor text should stand out from the body content and accurately describe the page that it refers to.
Categories and hypertext act as signs and should give people a strong indication of what will happen even before they click on the link. People avoid clicking on unknown items or, even worse, ignore them all together.
When the key difference(s) between UI choices are implied or buried, users often select the wrong option or miscomprehend the features.
To engage users, website copy must speak to readers and not at them. Include words people can relate to, and avoid jargon, business speak, and feature-driven language.
When web content helps users focus on sections of interest, users switch from scanning to actually reading the copy.
Users hunt for facts online, so factually rich content will attract readers and keep their attention.
If using web or browser-related terms, consider defining them in place to make websites easier for senior citizens. Avoid using technical words if they are not necessary.
What makes a website good will also give it a high SERP rank, but overly tricky search engine optimization can undermine the user experience.
Users don't read Web pages, they scan. Highlighting and concise writing improved measured usability 47-58%. Marketese imposed a cognitive burden on users and was disliked.
Studies of how users read on the Web found that they do not actually read: instead, they scan the text. A study of five different writing styles found that a sample Web site scored 58% higher in measured usability when it was written concisely, 47% higher when the text was scannable, and 27% higher when it was written in an objective style instead of the promotional style used in the control condition and many current Web pages. Combining these three changes into a single site that was concise, scannable, and objective at the same time resulted in 124% higher measured usability.
Reading from screens is 25% slower than from paper and we know that Web users skim rather than read. Web text should be short, emphasize scannability, and be structured into multiple hyperlinked pages (each focused on a subtopic).
Testing how well people understand a link's first 11 characters shows whether sites write for users, who typically scan rather than read lists of items.
Information foraging shows how to calculate your content strategy's costs and benefits. A mixed diet that combines brief overviews and comprehensive coverage is often best.
On the average Web page, users have time to read at most 28% of the words during an average visit; 20% is more likely.
When web content helps users focus on sections of interest, users switch from scanning to actually reading the copy.
Rewriting pages from a popular website improved measured usability by 159%. Word count was cut to 54%; long pages were split into hypertext; Web writing guidelines were applied.
Online headlines must be absolutely clear when taken out of context. They should be written in plain language (no puns or clever headlines). 5 additional guidelines + examples of bad microcontent.
Cloze Tests provide empirical evidence of how easy a text is to read and understand for a specified target audience. They thus measure reading comprehension, and not just a readability score.

Sifton .415 lift cams
I've noticed on ebay and internet SIFTON .415" lift cams for as little as $110.00 and up to as much as $400.00! I'd like to have an extra drop in set that can be swapped in or out for the Ollies I currently have in my '46 Chief. Went and did it and purchased a pair of the SIFTON .415" lift cams for $109.00...free and fast shipping...from eBay. Actually the .415" is the lobe height. Stock cams have a lobe height of about .400 so it would appear that the SIFTON cam would be similar in performance. Lobe shape also appears to be pretty close to stock. Machining and finish are quite nice for an imported item. The only down side I can see is that the "backup lobe" (between cam gear and cam lobe) was omitted on the SIFTON cams. Thus I think there might be a problem of modifying the SIFTON .415" cam to accept a high performance cam lobe replacement like an Ollie. There isn't a lot of "meat" on the gear itself (although there is a .250 alignment hole) to accept and retain the .250" pin that would align and secure a replacement lobe. Perhaps the pin and cam lobe could be welded in place to property secure them. But for a stock replacement, which is what I wanted, these SIFTON cams might just do fine.

The Cove
In the 1960's, Richard O'Barry was the world's leading authority on dolphin training, working on the set of the popular television program Flipper. Day in and day out, O'Barry kept the dolphins working and television audiences smiling. But one day, that all came to a tragic end. "The Cove" tells the amazing true story of how Psihoyos, O'Barry and an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret. The mysteries they uncovered were only the tip of the iceberg

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- This week is known as "Teen Driver Safety" Week, and in Maine, this week has been a particularly deadly one for teenagers.
Two teens have died in two separate crashes in Oxford County. 18-year-old Jordan Cole died Tuesday night when he crashed his Jeep on Greenwood Road. On Saturday, 16-year-old Danielle Ranger crashed her car into a tree in the town of Peru.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens 16-19, but to help try to prevent these deadly accidents from happening, AAA has created a wireless device called "AAA Onboard". Pat Moody and Cletus Nunes from AAA were on the Morning Report to explain how this device works.
Right now, Onboard is only available for AAA policy holders.

Refill Rolls
Special considerations to keep in mind when purchasing Adhesive Transfer Gun (ATG) tape is that it is reverse wound; the release liner is on the underside of the tape when it is unwound from the roll; so it requires the use of an ATG dispenser to apply it. Also rolls are wound on a plastic core which allows them to easily snap in to an ATG dispenser.
ATG tapes are used for picture framing, scrapbooking, graphic arts application, photo mounting, exhibit & POP displays, product assembly, and designing & packaging prototypes. The tapes used for this purpose have good adhesion to most plastic films, paper, and metal foils.
The ATG tapes which are used for photo mounting and scrapbooking are typically pH or acid neutral (pH 7, acid free) and are designed to not yellow over time. Examples of acid-free ATG tape include 3M Scotch 908 ATG Gold Tape and JVCC ATG-7502 ATG Tape.
ATG tape can also be used to create strong bonds with glass, wood, metals, paint, and most plastics. The 3M Scotch 924 ATG tape is all-purpose transfer tape that provides great adhesion to most materials. It is therefore great for assembling promotional items and posters. 3M Scotch 924 ATG tape is characterized by solvent resistance and UV resistance.
The choice of your ATG tape should be determined by your particular needs. We stock only high quality ATG tape so our customers know they can count on us to get the best products.

The Northern Plains of Cambodia represent the last remaining intact block of a landscape that once covered most of Indochina. The plains encompass a mixture of forest, grasslands, and freshwater wetlands. The landscape is home to some of the world's rarest large waterbirds, including giant ibises, lesser adjutant storks, and sarus cranes. Asian elephants, wild cattle, and leopards also roam freely. After viewing the huge herds of wild cattle and elephants here in the 1950s, Charles Wharton described the Northern Plains as one of the great game lands of the world. Wild cattle are still present in the landscape, including endangered banteng and vulnerable gaur.
Remote and sparsely populated, this region was one of the last strongholds of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia's violent communist faction. During 30 years of armed conflict, the Northern Plains were completely inaccessible. WCS first began studying the region and working for its protection in 1999. Today, a small human population is dispersed throughout the wild landscape.
WCS is working with the government of Cambodia to increase the capacity of protected areas throughout the Northern Plains. We are providing local conservation staff with training and technical assistance. WCS is also working with local communities to ensure villagers have sufficient land for their residential and agricultural requirements in order to minimize their impact on the landscape's protected areas.
WCS also leads the Cambodia Vulture Conservation Project to help preserve this stronghold for three vulture species in Asia. WCS helped produce the action plan for this project in 2005. As part of the project, we have set up "vulture restaurants" that supplement the birds' diminishing food supply. These feeding stations also enable WCS to monitor the birds that visit them.
Another part of our role in Cambodia is to reinforce the links between conservation and local communities, focusing on the benefits people can derive from healthy forests and the development of tourism and other livelihood options. WCS established the Bird Nest Protection Program, which pays local people to protect rare birds' nests, rather than taking chicks and eggs to sell. It's an innovative, inexpensive model of community-based conservation that has led to substantial increases in populations of globally threatened species while contributing to rural livelihoods.
One of Cambodia's poorest regions is rich in rare birdlife—in particular, the giant ibis and its cousin the white-shouldered ibis. Decades of violent conflict and a remote location kept naturalists and birdwatchers away. But now, birders travel from around the world in the hopes of seeing the ibises and other majestic species.
After many years of hard work and trial and error, real successes are being seen in snow leopard conservation, in the Pamir Mountains of Afghanistan and in northern Pakistan, among other places, as communities come together to manage their land and wildlife, and neighboring countries find ways to cooperate across borders. WCS Asia Program deputy director Peter Zahler and George Schaller, WCS senior conservationist and Panthera VP, explain.
With vulture numbers drastically down across the Asian continent, scientists hone in on protecting Cambodian populations, one of the last hopes for these critically endangered birds.
Birdwatchers from across Asia and beyond flock to Cambodia for a glimpse of two of the world's rarest birds: the giant ibis and its cousin the white-shouldered ibis. The birds' nesting grounds sit at the outskirts of Tmatboey, a rural village where WCS has worked with the community to develop an eco-tourism project.
As the namesake of a new species of Southeast Asian bat, WCS's Joe Walston says that these winged mammals are the good guys of nature. Bug-eating bats aid in the pollination of plants and trees, and are the main
consumer of crop pests and mosquitoes.
WCS begins our annual tally of vulture populations in Cambodia. After last year's record numbers, hopes for these birds are on the rise.
report record numbers of vultures in Cambodia after a drug nearly wiped out these
scavenging birds in Asia.
After nearly dying from eating a poisoned animal carcass, a critically endangered white-rumped vulture was nursed back to health by wildlife veterinarians and conservationists from WCS and Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity.

This section describes how MySQL responds to disk-full errors (such as "no space left on device"), and to quota-exceeded errors (such as "write failed" or "user block limit reached").
This section is relevant for writes to
MyISAM tables. It also applies for writes
to binary log files and binary log index file, except that
references to "row" and "record"
should be understood to mean "event."
When a disk-full condition occurs, MySQL does the following:
It checks once every minute to see whether there is enough space to write the current row. If there is enough space, it continues as if nothing had happened.
Every 10 minutes it writes an entry to the log file, warning about the disk-full condition.
To alleviate the problem, you can take the following actions:
To continue, you only have to free enough disk space to insert all records.
To abort the thread, you must use mysqladmin kill. The thread is aborted the next time it checks the disk (in one minute).
Other threads might be waiting for the table that caused the disk-full condition. If you have several "locked" threads, killing the one thread that is waiting on the disk-full condition enables the other threads to continue.
Exceptions to the preceding behavior are when you use
REPAIR TABLE or
OPTIMIZE TABLE or when the
indexes are created in a batch after
INFILE or after an
TABLE statement. All of these statements may create
large temporary files that, if left to themselves, would cause
big problems for the rest of the system. If the disk becomes
full while MySQL is doing any of these operations, it removes
the big temporary files and mark the table as crashed. The
exception is that for
TABLE, the old table is left unchanged.
|Posted by Yurii Zborovs'kyi on May 5 2003 3:51am
|[Delete] [Edit]
Another exception is a SELECT with GROUP at several joins, where each of the table has a couple of millions rows and each of them is actually full-scanned.
Example: linguistic task to find (some top of) spreads of combinations of 2, 3, 4, 5 patterns each of 'A%' type (all words with 1st letter same).
When I was calculated comb of 4 patterns, the query was almost 5 hours long (@1.1GHz Athlon) and required about 1.6 Gb of free memory at tmpdir disk (measured after first get my query aborted due to full disk)!
Do you fill power? ;-)
|Posted by J Jorgenson on July 17 2006 9:22pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Be aware that the Database does NOT return until there is disk space, or the thread is *manually* killed.
It would be nice to have the option to (programatically) 'abort' a SQL query, sooner than later, when there is not sufficient disk space.
We've had processes 'hang' for hours until the DBA noticed a full disk situation. Once the disk space was freed, THEN the thread generated an error (go figure?).
|Posted by Galt Barber on August 24 2006 9:39pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
On our linux servers, it is defaulting to /tmp which is not a large volume on our servers. When making indexes on big tables (80 million rows 3GB data, 1.5GB index), show processlist starts out saying "Repair with sorting" but soon switches to the dreaded "Repair by keycache", which means it does not fail with an error message but continues, albeit very very slowly (12 hours). To fix the problem we just restarted the mysqld server using a larger temp directory with --tmpdir=/plenty-of-space-here and that is so much better! Just 28 minutes now!
You can also set $TMPDIR instead. See the documentation.

|Posted by Bas Meijer on September 17 2007 10:56pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
There is no way to symlink to a new SAN mount, there is an open filehandle there. If only myisamchk would open the $TMPDIR paths in order as suggested by the man page, or if it would try to create the tmpfile anew with the path in the error then I could create a big enough disk without interupting the repair
(with a 100Gb table you get tired of waiting for mysql)

Brain scan on 'CSI: Miami'? It's real - and made in Eugene, Ore.
EUGENE, Ore. -- A man sits in a laboratory, a cap made of dozens of small sensors attached to his face. As investigators question him about a crime, images of a knife flash through his mind.
It sounds like something straight out of science fiction and, in a way, it is. But this episode of 'CSI: Miami' airing tonight (Monday, Jan. 12) uses real science developed 15 years ago in Eugene, Ore.
The Geodsic Sensor Net, a product of Electrical Geodesics Inc., uses senors to read brain waves.
Developer and EGI CEO Don Tucker started using the sensor net to study depression. It's also been used to conduct research for epilepsy and sleep deprivation.
But the unique looking cap -- with models featuring as many as 256 senors and a mass of wires stretching over a person's head, forehead and cheeks -- also gets attention from Hollywood.
Previously featured in the movie "X3: The Last Stand," the producers of "CSI: Miami" contacted Tucker to help with an episode called "Head Case."
In the episode, a man is found covered in blood. He tells investigators he doesn't know what happened. The CSI team hooks him up to a Geodesic Sensor Net and presents him with critical details from a crime scene.
"If his brain shows a recognition response, the idea was he was at the crime scene," Tucker explained. "If it does not, the neither he has perfect amnesia and his memory was erased, or he was never there."
He didn't get script approval but says the plot passed muster.
"It's a fairly reasonable scientific treatment," said Tucker. "Of course, it's a TV drama, too."
Tucker flew down to the Florida set to help with filming. He was charged with putting the sensor cap on the actor.
"They shoot the scene about 30 times, from different angles, different lighting, so the editors have a lot to choose from," said Tucker. "Well in this case, the scene calls for the sensor net to be taken off. Again, I don't want to reveal all the information, but that means I had put it on 30 times and put it in the same position."
Tucker also says he was impressed with actor Emily Procter, who plays Calleigh Duquesne.
"She wanted to understand the theory of it as she said her lines," he said. "Other ones just read their lines more or less."

Design Changes at Gourmet
Posted 30 November 2005 - 11:13 AM
Posted 30 November 2005 - 04:21 PM
You're right, the design changes have been enormous. When I got here there was a 2 person art department, no photo editor and almost all of the photographs were taken by our own photographer, Romulo Yanes, here in our studio. Now we have 9 people in the art department and while Romulo still takes a lot of the pictures, we do most of our big entertaining shoots on location, using a wide variety of photographers.
One of the things that many of us here have noticed are the design changes that have followed your arrival at Gourmet. For example, there seem to be more short-information items, particularly in the back of the magazine. Can you tell us more about those? What design changes have you initiated? To what ends? Do you think that the changes have been successful?
But the magazine's changed a couple of times, even since I've been here. At first I brought in the wonderful Diana LaGuardia, who gave the magazine one look. She pioneered the look of Gourmet EveryDay, a technique that allowed the recipes to be printed right on the picture of the dish. (We were stunned to see Every Day Food when it first came out, which was a replica of that look.) When Diana left, Richard Ferretti came and basically redesigned Gourmet. I've loved what both of them has done.
The other big change is that, from the moment I got here, we began using the front and back of teh book very differently than the well. The well is now much more visual, belonging mostly to photographs. The front of the book is very type-driven. And I initiated Kitchen Notebook in the back of the book, to give the kitchen a voice. After all, with 8 test kitchens and 11 food editors, you want to feel their presence.
There's a lot of carping on EGullet about the look of Gourmet, but I think if we were still putting out the old Gourmet there would be even more. It would look incredibly old fashioned.
Posted 30 November 2005 - 05:30 PM
To be frank, I'll fess up as a carp(er? not sure of the noun here) about one thing, though: the Cooks-As-Rock-Stars cover. That seems to me a rare, substantial misstep. Not sure what you were going for there -- I'd be interested to know!
Posted 30 November 2005 - 07:55 PM
You were certainly not alone; that was a love or hate thing. More hate, I suspect. I knew we were taking a chance there, but I thought it would be fun.
Thanks for the detailed reply. I really appreciate Kitchen Notebook, personally, and think that the vast majority of the changes have been for the (much) better.
To be frank, I'll fess up as a carp(er? not sure of the noun here) about one thing, though: the Cooks-As-Rock-Stars cover. That seems to me a rare, substantial misstep. Not sure what you were going for there -- I'd be interested to know!
I was getting so tired of hearing about the chef as rock star thing, that I thought we'd make our own comment on it. And then I met Matthew Rolston at a friend's wedding in LA, and I asked if he'd ever consider shooting for us, and he turned out to be a Gourmet fan, and it seemed like serendipity.
Maybe it was a mistake - it certainly was not a newsstand success - but one of the things I love about my job is that I have the leeway to make mistakes. I'd much rather take chances and not have them all work out than just continue to do the same, safe things.
The thing is, we all had a great time doing that cover: The chefs, the staff, the art people, and it gave the magazine a kind of energy. Cover aside, I think that issue is one of the ones I'm most proud of. I'd do it again in a second.

you made it relevan to a new generation through style and substance and for sure did not scare away the old generation with your honest yet beautiful photography

I'm still on the fence about the design and content changes that you've implemented. I totally agree with your comment that the "old" Gourmet would seem terribly old-fashioned today—in fact, I think it seemed old-fashioned long before you took the helm. I love the Kitchen Notebook, the focus on farming and sustainability, and other innovations. But I'll admit, I'm put off by what seems to have become ubiquitous product placement and hotel/travel recommendations. I don't read Gourmet for wedding gift ideas, "must have" items for the traveler, or trendy hotel recommendations, etc.
I'm sure you've heard this before. Is this just publishing economics, or is there a vision here?
On another design topic, any hindsight thoughts on doing away with—then bringing back—"the Last Touch"? That certainly seemed to divide the readership.

The cupcake thing really floored me. I still don't get it. Don't even get why that cover was "soemthing a little different for Gourmet." How? I just thought Gina's idea was great - bake a cake for the grown ups and decorate it with cupcakes for the kids. It was so pretty, it just made a great cover.
I'd like to ask particularly about the issue with the birthday cake/cupcakes on the cover. People really reacted to that! When I saw it, I perceived it as something a little different for Gourmet, but I didn't have a negative reaction. I know you must have read much more mail than you had room to print. Those who had such strong negative reactions -- why do you think they hated it so much? Would you do it again?
But I LOVED that it got that strong a reaction. And yes, I'd definitely do it again. (And unlike some of the covers that I've known were a stretch, that one sold very well.)
As for the previous post - about the content of the magazine - travel, products, hotel recommendations - those have always been part of hte DNA of the magazine. We're not doing anything different there than the magazine has always done. Maybe a little less, actually, because things, as such,, don't interest me all that much. But the readers have always wanted to know where to buy things, where to stay when they travel, etc.
Incidentally, we don't do product placement. Ever. Much to some of our advertisers' chagrin. But we do try to use new plates, glasses and so forth in our pictures. What makes this difficult is that usually we shoot a year ahead.
AS for bringing back The Last Touch - I'm thrilled that people care so much. I feel that this magazine belongs not to me, but to its readers, who feel a really visceral connection to it. And when they make it clear that they really want something, we'd be crazy not to give it to them.

Frankly, we don't. I think if you start trying to second guess your audience, you're doomed. WE're a diverse group too, we edit very much as a group, and we simply try to put out the best, most interesting magazine we can. We're passionate about the subject, and we figure if we please ourselves, we'll please our audience.
Obviously, a magazine like Gourmet has to appeal to wide constituency - from those who read it for the vicarious thrill but never cook to those who are hard-core and passionate about food (like the group you have here). How do you and your staff go about creating content that will please such a diverse group?
(And believe me, we have long and passionate fights about the content of the magazine.)

I was really happy when Rebecca put that cover up. That's one of my favorite restaurants; my idea of pure heaven is to go to Pearl and have a bucket of steamers, a salad, a lobster (boiled not broiled), and then one of those amazing sundaes.
Funnily enough, I was in the Pearl Oyster Bar last night (18 Cornelia St., btwn Bleecker & W 4th). There on the wall was an enlarged copy of the cover from Gourmet's July 1945 issue, which sold for 25 cents. The cover showed a lobster and a pot of boiling water on a stove.

They had come from the Wasatch Front to present her with a tribute for her many years of service to the art of quilting and to her community. McMullin, who learned how to sew as a youngster to help her family through the Depression and World War II, has been using her talents with fabic to help others for decades. For more than 40 years, she taught 4H students how to sew, and earned state honors for that service. She also owned and operated the Fun Fabrics store in Huntington for more than 17 years. She helped organize the Huntington Quilt Guild and taught classes in Price and Huntington. McMullin has made multiple wall hangings for county and community displays. She also made a special quilt to represent all the living graduates from North Emery High School. In recent years she has become involved with a national organization called Quilts of Valor. Its goal is to make a quilt for every wounded soldier that comes home from the mid-east conflicts. She has also sewn hundreds of hygiene kits, leper bandages, dresses, quilts and school bags for the LDS Church Humanitarian Service Center.

* Our friends at CarDomain recently ran across a chain-link curiosity somewhere in Northern California, and they don't know anything about it. Can you help them out?
* Samuel Addison of Ride the Machine said he's got plenty of neat automotive links for us, starting with this mobile cinema, one of seven that the UK's Ministry of Technology (nothing 1984-ish about that name) had built on Bedford chassis in the late 1960s. The cool part? One's been restored and is currently plying Britain's roads.

LOWVILLE Lewis County officials are getting sick of an ongoing feud between local all-terrain vehicle clubs and their regional association over membership fees collected along with trail permit sales.
So much so that they may stop collecting the fees for clubs altogether, establish a single permit rate schedule with no club discount and pay clubs only for completed trail work.
Hopefully, it will stop all the bickering, and we can move forward, said Board of Legislators Vice Chairman Charles R. Fanning, R-Copenhagen.
However, some club officials are not happy with the proposal, arguing it would remove any incentive to become a club member.
To me, what they said to us is, we dont care about the local clubs anymore, said Neil H. Pepper from the Black River Valley 4 Wheelers, Brantingham.
Mr. Pepper argued the clubs have been active in maintaining trails and county residents should be getting some break for use of the trails.
We paid for the trail system with our tax dollars, he said.
While a supporter of the permit system, Mr. Pepper said the proposed change has prompted he and other club members to consider not buying permits, riding only on opened roads where a permit is not required.
ATV Association President Joseph Z. Onyon also suggests a permit boycott on the organizations website, but that was in response to legislators prior decisions to fire former Trail Coordinator Robert C. Diehl and give clubs, not the association, membership dues through the permit program.
Mr. Onyon said he would support the proposed switch, depending on how it is implemented and what expenses are allowed for reimbursement, but is more concerned about a perceived lack of focus in the trail program.
On Thursday, the boards Economic Development Committee, of which Mr. Fanning is a member, approved a proposal that all riders regardless of membership status would be charged $65 for their initial permits, with a multipermit rate of $20 per additional machine remaining in effect.
Legislators at a special meeting at 5:15 p.m. today in the second-floor chambers at the county office building are expected to set a public hearing for their March 5 meeting on a local law that would implement the permit proposal, allowing lawmakers to vote on it then.
Permits now cost $40 for an ATV owned by a member of a club in the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association and $80 for a machine owned by a nonmember, although nearly all riders have become club members to qualify for the discount.
The county contracts with the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce to sell ATV permits, with the chamber receiving a 10 percent administrative fee.
During the first years of the program, riders who bought permits could simultaneously join the club of their choice for a $25 membership fee. The proceeds were then distributed to the clubs, with $24,050 collected in 2011.
However, the program was altered for the 2012 season so the chamber would offer memberships only for the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association, not specific clubs, and the association which had consisted of representatives of three Lewis County clubs and four others based outside the county collected $18,975 from it.
Chamber officials have said the switch was made primarily because of how difficult and time-consuming it was to verify riders were members of individual clubs and that things went much smoother last year.
However, the move was criticized by many legislators who said it was improper because the board never approved it, and perceived by many club members as an attempt to effectively get rid of them in favor of the regional association.
Legislators in December held an air-clearing session for the ATV factions and last month reversed the change in collection procedure after determining it had never been formally approved by either the committee or full board.
The new proposal would set aside $25 of every permit for trail maintenance.
That way, we know 100 percent of that money will be going toward trails, said Legislator Richard C. Lucas, R-Barnes Corners and Economic Development Committee chairman.
Clubs that undertake trail work could submit claims to the county and be reimbursed from the ATV trail fund, with the new trail coordinator to administer the program, he said.
While the change would take effect upon legislative approval, 2013 permits already purchased now nearing 200, according to chamber officials will be honored under the current setup, Mr. Lucas said.

The XL1S maximizes the capability of the DV format by using a 3 CCD (charge-coupled device) system with a separate CCD for each primary color (red, green, blue). A beam-splitting prism separates light passing through the lens into individual color components and each is sent to its own CCD. Compared to a single CCD, the 3 CCD system achieves outstanding detail with highly accurate color reproduction suitable for the demands of high-end video production - wide dynamic range, low color noise, high-contrast detail, natural color resolution and low-aliasing. The 3 CCD system also makes advanced Pixel Shift (for increased image quality) and Low Light Recording (for increased flexibility) possible.
Pixel Shift
Because human eyes see green more clearly and readily, the green component of a video signal contains 60% of the picture detail whereas the red and blue components together comprise the remaining 40%. With the advanced Pixel Shift on the XL1S, the green CCD is physically shifted the equivalent distance of 1/2 pixel horizontally from the red and blue CCD, and the green signal is electronically shifted 1/2 pixel vertically. This shifting of the green CCD increases the sampling points, resulting in a system that is comparable to 410,000 pixel CCD systems in terms of resolution. With a larger pixel size and the process of Pixel Shift, the Canon XL1S gives wider dynamic range, better low light recording, reduced vertical smears, and high quality still images without sacrificing the highest resolution DV available.
Super High Resolution and Super Low Light
The three CCD image sensors in the XL1S, each with 270,000 pixels, were specifically designed to capture as much image detail as possible and for shooting under extremely low light conditions. The size of each pixel is 72 square microns - 150% larger than the pixel-size on comparable DV models. The result is an approximate 4 dB improvement in sensitivity. This improved sensitivity means that each CCD can capture more information at all light ranges. In super low light, the XL1S still captures crisp and clear digital data. Under extremely bright conditions, the Pixel Shift capabilities of the XL1S greatly reduces vertical white streaks and smears, making it a consummate field recording device for all conditions.

The Activities & Recreation Center (ARC) will be the hub of student life on campus; a place for students to gather, socialize, dine and exercise.
In 2010, the Associated Students of the University of Washington Bothell (ASUWB) approved funding for the programming and pre-design of a student activities center building. On July 11, 2013, the UW Board of Regents approved the new $19.7-million 36,000 square foot student-funded building to be positioned next to the North Creek Events Center. LMN Architecture has been hired to design the student activities center and the ASUWB is currently working with the university to finalize the design.
In September 2014, ASUWB asked for student feedback regarding the naming of the new building and, based on student response, the building was named the Activities & Recreation Center (ARC).
Construction is slated to begin in Spring 2014 with completion in Fall 2015.
In keeping with the UW Bothell commitment toward a sustainable campus, the student union building will be designed using these guiding principles:
