The process to make empanada dough for frying is very similar to the empanada dough for baking. A few differences are that this dough doesn't include egg, has a little bit less butter, but adds baking powder and little bit of orange juice. The orange juice gives the dough a nice flavor, while the baking powder gives the empanadas that light fluffy look when you fry them. This dough is used primarily for empanadas de viento or fried cheese empanadas, but can also be used to make any type of fried empanada.
Easy recipe for making homemade empanada dough for frying.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 stick of butter (4 oz), cut in 8 pieces
- 2 tablespoons of orange juice
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup chilled sparkling water or still water
- Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a food processor.
- Add the pieces of butter, orange juice and sparkling water - add 1/2 cup of the water to start and then add more as needed or until dough clumps begin to form.
- Form a ball with the dough and knead lightly.
- Place the dough in bowl, cover and let rest at room temperature for about an hour.
- Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut out round disc shapes for empanadas (use round molds or a small plate). It's really important to get the discs very thin since they cook very quickly when you fry them, if after cutting out the round shapes they are still thick, try rolling each disc a little more until it is very thin. Another way to do this is to make small round balls with the dough and then use a rolling pin to roll out each one individually – you can also use a tortilla press to flatten the balls of dough. The discs don't have to be perfectly round.
- Use immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer to use later.

A man who once told a judge he killed a Kentucky social worker now says he didn't do it.
Police arrested Christopher Luttrell and his girlfriend Renee Terrell for the 2006 murder of Boni Frederick.
Now just four days after pleading guilty, Luttrell is changing his story.
"I remember her walking back with it in her hand. She tried to get me to finish her off; I said 'uh-uh'," says Luttrell.
Commonwealth's Attorney Bill Markwell says that's not what happened.
Markwell says Luttrell was waiting in a closet for Frederick, then he and Terrell attacked the social worker with knives and a skillet.
Renee Terrell's trial begins in September.

PAWTUCKET — A developer is proposing that the former St. Mary's School at 163 George St. and the adjacent brick building that once served as a convent be turned into an apartment complex, along with a new building to be constructed behind the two.
The city's Planning Commission recently held a public hearing on the proposal by I.D. Holdings LLC, whose principal owner is listed as Jeffrey Karll. Karll is a businessman and restauranteur who formerly operated the Cresta Ristorante in the Apex property on Main Street.
The design plans, drafted by Pawtucket-based architects Lerner Ladds Bartels, propose the renovation of the two existing buildings at 163 and 167 George St. for approximately 30,000 square feet of space. To the rear of these, a new multi-story building would be erected measuring approximately 68,000 square feet in size.
The use of all three buildings will create 106 rental units, with a majority being in the studio or one-bedroom style and about six two-bedrooms. The proposed complex will be called the Clock Tower Residences after a tower that will be restored on the former school building.
The plans show a driveway entrance off George Street running between the former school and convent buildings and opening onto a circular cul de sac. There would be some parking spaces along nearby Delaney Street, but most of the parking for the tenants and guests would be provided by the new structure, which will feature one parking lot at street level and another underneath the building. This parking will be accessed by a ramp-type driveway off Randall Street.
The proposed new building is of a more modern styling than its two historic counterparts (St. Mary's School dates back to 1890). The plans show a rectangular divided structure, six stories high on one side and seven stories high on the other, with the parking garage underneath.
According to attorney Michael Horan, representing ID Holdings LLC, Karll's target market is college students and young adults who are working professionals. He said the bulk of the units, around 60, will be "efficiency" style at 400 to 800 square feet, and will be affordably priced in keeping with similar type housing in the local area. The remainder will be mostly one-bedrooms, with only about a half dozen two-bedroom models.
Currently, the school building at 163 George St. is unoccupied and 167 George Street has been serving as the temporary headquarters for S.H. Pihl, the contractors on the I-95 Pawtucket River Bridge project.
Planning Director Barney Heath said the project was reviewed by the Planning Commission and discussion was continued to the next Planning Commission meeting on April 16. He said several neighbors who were at the public hearing raised some concerns about the project in regard to parking, unit density, increased traffic in the area, and the height of the proposed new building.
Heath said that he shares some of these concerns as well, and noted that the developer will have to seek relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals on several issues, including the unit density, height, and number of parking spaces. However, he also said that precedents have been set for granting zoning variances on some of these same issues for other mill redevelopment projects in the city.

Recipe: Slow Cooker Beer Brats
Every busy mom loves a good crock pot recipe. If you search online for crock pot recipes, you'll find one for just about any dish imaginable. Of course there are the old stand by slow cooker recipes for pulled pork and lasagna. But did you know you can make mac and cheese and desserts in the crock pot? You probably did. I'll admit I'm a little lacking in crock pot knowledge. Mine mostly sits on the top shelf in the pantry collecting dust.
Here's one food you may not have tried in your slow cooker- Beer Brats. This is a recipe from the August/September Cook's Country Magazine. Normally, I would have been a little hesitant to try brats in a slow cooker. But I've always had success with Cook's Country recipes.
Even still ,I was a little skeptical. Turns out that skepticism was completely unwarranted. The brats really picked up the flavor of the beer and onions, plus they stayed moist and juicy. Yes, they were missing that nice char the grill gives them. But that's a small price to pay for the ease of crock pot cooking.
You can pretty much use any number of Brats that you want in this recipe- as long as they fit in a single layer in the crock pot. The recipe calls for 10, but I just used 5. It is important however to use the suggested amount of onion. The onion acts as a buffer between the brats and the bottom of the crock pot and prevents the brats from cooking too quickly. If this happens, the skins might burst and the brats will lose all their juice. Otherwise, I think this is a really full-proof recipe.
So go ahead and add Beer Brats to your list of slow cooker recipes for when you just can't stomach another crock pot chili.

Slow Cooker Beer Brats
- 1 pound onions, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 10 bratwurst (I just used 5)
- 3 cups beer
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard, plus extra for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (if you like caraway, may want to up to 3/4 teaspoon)
- 1 cup sauerkraut (I used a whole regular-sized can)
- a hoagie roll for each brat
- Place onions, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Dump mixture into bottom of a slow cooker. Arrange brats on top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together beer, mustard, and caraway seeds. Pour on top of brats. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4. (I cooked them on low so I can't vouch for the high heat method)
- Transfer brats to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Stir sauerkraut into onion mixture and let warm for a few minutes. Strain sauerkraut-onion mixture through a colander or use a slotted spoon to transfer to a serving dish. Discard liquid. Serve Brats and Kraut on rolls if desired with mustard.
Yield: 5 to 10 servings depending on number of brats cooked

Exactly a year ago today I was diagnosed with cancer.
Today, I'm cancer free and celebrating life in Florida with some of my very best friends in the whole world.
Friday, December 10, 2010
Sunday, November 21, 2010
Reader Request!
Since two of my very loyal readers have asked, I thought I'd post a follow up about the lifestyle change suggestions from the conference.
First off! Personal products! Parabens and Phthalates are pretty uniformly bad, and you should try to get them out of anything that touches your body, or at least reduce the number of products you use that have them. After extensive research (aka wandering around Sephora for an hour) Caitlin and I determined that Tarte and Bare Minerals are your best bets for fairly-easy-to-find makeup. Korres and The Body Shop are also pretty good about ingredients (and don't have that distinct, hippy-product smell. You know, like in the toiletries aisle at Whole Foods. That smell.)
A more detailed rundown of why certain products are specifically linked the breast cancer is here, and The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a pretty good resource in general for checking out what's in your products (and gives you a nice, color coded safety rating!)
Next! Plastics. They're kinda nasty, and while some are proven to be worse than others, it is best to keep them away from your food as much as possible. Things to definitely stop doing right now:
using plastic wrap on foods
microwaving anything in plastic
reusing or freezing plastic waterbottles
letting plastics 3, 6, or 7 touch your food
Things to consider working on:
storing food in any plastic at all (I am switching over to glass storage containers!)
stop using nonstick cookware in favor of cast iron, glass, or stainless steel
Also! Food. To be specific, produce. You might have already seen the Environmental Working Group's guide to produce shopping. Consider checking out the dirty dozen and the clean 15 and modifying your organic produce shopping accordingly.
All that being said, if you've been in my apartment you probably realize that this is more of a do as I say and not as I do sitch, as I pretty much hoard shampoos and lotions and all other toiletries and I'm probably going to use up every last drop before I make any switches. Also, organic produce is damn expensive and I often carry it around the grocery store and then switch it out for the cheaper, non-organic alternative at the last minute... (trying to work on that)

Today was a big day of firsts! To begin, I got my first post-chemo haircut. (!!!!, right?)
(So, okay, the changes are pretty minor, but it's less wispy! And more intentional looking! And I swear I don't look so brood-y all the time!)
I'm slightly impressed with my hair growing ability, as it's been under a year since my last haircut. Also, it seems that the shorter my hair is, the more compliments I get from random strangers, so hopefully the quarter inch that was removed will up the rate of compliments again.
After that, I went and ran a full 8 miles, which is a new personal distance record! I am now, hopefully, nearly prepared for the 50k relay I'm running in a couple weeks. Heart problems be damned!
After the run, I promptly went and passed out for an hour and a half. (You know, that whole not-enough-energy problem)

Tales from the cancer conference
I'm home now from my trip to Philly for the LBBC Conference and New York to visit Caitlin. It was a good, but long, but good, but emotionally exhausting, but good weekend. I'll go chronologically:
I started at the DTW airport. They now have those backscatter x-ray machines. They use seemingly random selection to determine who gets to go through it. As soon as I stepped into the security line I started panicking about how I was going to opt out of the scanner, because, obviously, it would be just my luck that I'd get picked to go through it. And I'm pretty sure that I've had enough radiation exposure without the scan. So, I start to freak out about how they might think that I've got something to hide if I decline the scan, and then I break out in hives because I'm so nervous. If I didn't look suspicious before, I do at this point.
Magically, I don't get chosen. I just get the regular old metal detector. (Which, by the way, has yet to pick up my port, which I'm pretty sure is full-out metal.)
Eventually I get to the hotel in Philly and meet up with my roommate, Carrie, who is awesome. It was super nice to finally meet her in person! Plus, the hotel was pretty swank!
Apparently, at breast cancer conferences, there is a whole lot of "you show me yours and I'll show you mine" because there are a whole lot of fake breasts. As one of the few who still has real breasts, I felt a little bit like a voyeur (at least, I can't really identify with the ins and outs of breast reconstruction) and also some anxieties that I made the wrong surgical choice really resurfaced. I will say, though, that there are some damn good surgeons out there!
I'll start off by saying I truly, truly appreciate the privilege of being able to attend the conference and to meet all of the fab people that I met. That said, the actual scheduled portions of the conference were a bit lackluster. I blame part of this on being hyper-aware, but a lot of the information seemed to be targeted to a less aware and (fair enough!) older audience.
Of the things I took away, I learned most of them from fellow attendees rather than presenters at the event (and maybe that's the point?!) These things include:
FLAXSEED! 2 tablespoons a day, to be exact
If you only take one vitamin, take D.
Don't let plastics touch your food (okay I knew this but now I'll really do it)
Parabens and Phthalates do not belong in your personal products (I knew this too, but, again, now I'll really do it)
So, I've come back and straightened out my act a little bit! Caitlin and I even went out, sorted through ever cosmetic product known to the human race, and picked out the three acceptable ones and bought them up. I now just need to also transition the rest of the things that touch my body (shampoo, lotion, etc etc etc).
Like I said before, it's nice to have a shared experience with a group of people and not have to explain the weird quirks or fears or what have you that come with that experience. At the same time, it can also be really tough to have such a shitty experience be in the forefront of your thoughts for an extended period of time. One of the topics of conference was how to deal with limited energy and limited time, post cancer diagnosis. Obviously, I struggle with this (I exhaust myself too often because I don't want to miss anything) and I don't think that the suggestions from the presenter (limit your activities, scale back at work, get more rest) were really all that helpful, at least for me. I don't really have the luxury to limit my activities, and I don't have the desire to cut out fun things I do in favor of rest, so I remain pretty stuck on this one. (And will continue to treat this problem with caffeine until it fails me)

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new microscope able to view and measure an important but elusive property of the nanoscale magnets used in an advanced, experimental form of digital memory. The new instrument already has demonstrated its utility with initial results that suggest how to limit power consumption in future computer memories.
NIST's heterodyne magneto-optic microwave microscope, or H-MOMM, can measure collective dynamics of the electrons' spinsthe basic phenomenon behind magnetismin individual magnets as small as 100 nanometers in diameter. Nanomagnets are central components of low-power, high-speed "spintronic" computer memory, which might soon replace conventional random-access memory. Spintronics relies on electrons behaving like bar magnets, pointing in different directions to manipulate and store data, whereas conventional electronics rely on charge.
"The measurement technique is entirely novel, the capability that it has enabled is unprecedented, and the scientific results are groundbreaking," project leader Tom Silva says.
As described in a new paper,* NIST researchers used the H-MOMM to quantify, for the first time, the spin relaxation processor dampingin individual nanomagnets. Spin relaxation is related to how much energy is required to switch a unit of spintronic memory between a 0 and a 1 (the bits used to represent data).
The nanomagnets used in experimental spintronic systems are too big to yield their secrets to conventional atomic physics tools yet too small for techniques used with bulk materials. Until now, researchers have been forced to measure the average damping from groups of nanomagnets. The new microscope enabled NIST researchers to study, in detail, the ups and downs of spin excitation in individual magnets made of a layer of a nickel-iron alloy on a sapphire base.
The H-MOMM combines optical and microwave techniques. Two g

1995 Nissan Altima Wheels and Rims Dealers/Stores
Most automobile owners are worried about far more than the performance of their vehicles, and this is especially true when it comes to buying a set of replacement wheels or rims. It's always a good idea to think about how your 1995 Nissan Altima vehicle will look with a new set of rims on it. Do you want a sleek look, a racing look, or just a normal look with some hubcaps? These are all things to consider when shopping your new 1995 Altima rims or wheels.
Have you thought about the differences in rim material for your 95 Altima upgrade? If not, it's important to note that each material will have a different look on your car or truck. For example, alloy rims, made of aluminum and magnesium, are usually a high-gloss finish. Steel rims, on the other hand, are a bit on the duller side, requiring wheel coverings. And composite wheels, like of the racing variety, can be black, silver and other colors. Take a little bit of time to mull over the finished product.

The Nepenthes ( /nɪˈpɛnθiːz/), popularly known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, are a genus of carnivorous plants in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises roughly 130 species, numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (2 species) and the Seychelles (1); southward to Australia (3) and New Caledonia (1); and northward to India (1) and Sri Lanka (1).
The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo and Sumatra with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot humid lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine with cool days and nights near freezing. The name monkey cups refers to the fact that monkeys have been observed drinking rainwater from these plants.
Nepenthes species usually consist of a shallow root system and a prostrate or climbing stem, often several metres long and up to 15 m (49 ft) or more, and usually 1 cm (0.4 in) or less in diameter, although this may be thicker in a few species (e.g. N. bicalcarata). From the stems arise alternate sword-shaped leaves with entire leaf margins. An extension of the midrib (tendril), which in some species aid in climbing, protrudes from the tip of the leaf; at the end of the tendril the pitcher forms. The pitcher starts as a small bud and gradually expands to form a globe- or tube-shaped trap.[2]
The trap contains a fluid of the plant's own production, which may be watery or syrupy and is used to drown the prey. Research has shown that this fluid contains viscoelastic biopolymers that may be crucial to the retention of insects within the traps of many species. The trapping efficiency of this fluid remains high, even when significantly diluted by water, as inevitably happens in wet conditions.[3]
The lower part of the trap contains glands which absorb nutrients from captured prey. Along the upper inside part of the trap is a slick waxy coating which makes the escape of its prey nearly impossible. Surrounding the entrance to the trap is a structure called the peristome (the "lip") which is slippery and often quite colorful, attracting prey but offering an unsure footing. Above the peristome is a lid (the operculum): in many species this keeps rain from diluting the fluid within the pitcher, the underside of which may contain nectar glands which attract prey.[2]
Nepenthes usually produce two types of pitchers, known as leaf dimorphism. Appearing near the base of the plant are the large lower traps, which typically sit on the ground. The upper or aerial pitchers are usually smaller, differently-coloured, and possess different features from the lower pitchers. These upper pitchers usually form as the plant reaches maturity and the plant grows taller. To keep the plant steady, the upper pitchers often form a loop in the tendril, allowing it to wrap around nearby support. In some species (e.g. N. rafflesiana) different prey may be attracted by the two types of pitchers. This varied morphology also often makes identification of species difficult.[2]
Prey usually consists of insects, but the largest species (e.g. N. rajah and N. rafflesiana) may occasionally catch small vertebrates, such as rats and lizards.[4][5] Flowers occur in racemes or more rarely in panicles with male and female flowers on separate plants. Seed is produced in a four-sided capsule which may contain 50–500 wind-distributed seeds, consisting of a central embryo and two wings, one on either side.
Distribution and habitat
The genus Nepenthes is mostly found within the Malay Archipelago, with the greatest biodiversity found on Borneo and Sumatra, especially in the Borneo montane rain forests. The full range of the genus includes Madagascar (N. madagascariensis and N. masoalensis), the Seychelles (N. pervillei), Sri Lanka (N. distillatoria), and India (N. khasiana) in the west to Australia (N. mirabilis, N. rowanae, and N. tenax) and New Caledonia (N. vieillardii) in the southeast. Most species are restricted to very small ranges, including some that are only found on individual mountains. These limited distributions and the inaccessibility of the region often means that some species go decades without being rediscovered in the wild (e.g. N. deaniana, which was rediscovered 100 years after its initial discovery). Approximately ten species have population distributions larger than a single island or group of smaller islands. Nepenthes mirabilis has the distinction of being the most widely distributed species in the genus, ranging from Indochina and throughout the Malay Archipelago to Australia.[2][6][7]
Because of the nature of the habitats which Nepenthes species occupy, they are often graded as either lowland or highland species, depending on their altitude above sea level, with 1,200 m (3,937 ft) the rough delineation between lowland and highland. Species that grow at lower altitudes require continuously warm climates with little difference between day and night temperatures, whereas highland species thrive when they receive warm days and much cooler nights. Nepenthes lamii is the species that holds the record of growing at a higher altitude than any other in the genus, up to 3,520 m (11,549 ft).[2][7]
Most Nepenthes species grow in environments that provide high humidity and precipitation and moderate to high light levels. A few species, including N. ampullaria, prefer the dense, shaded forests, but most other species thrive on the margins of tree/shrub communities or clearings. Some species (e.g. N. mirabilis) have been found growing in clear-cut forest areas, roadsides, and disturbed fields. Other species have adapted to growing in savanna-like grass communities. The soils that Nepenthes grow in are usually acidic and low in nutrients, being composed of peat, white sand, sandstone, or volcanic soils. There are, however, exceptions to these generalities, including species that thrive in soils that have high heavy metal content (e.g. N. rajah), on sandy beaches in the sea spray zone (e.g. N. albomarginata). Other species grow on inselbergs and as lithophytes, while others, such as N. inermis, can grow as epiphytes with no soil contact.[2]
Ecological relationships
The most obvious interaction between Nepenthes species and its environment, including other organisms, is that of predator and prey. Nepenthes species certainly attract and kill their prey, albeit passively, through active production of attractive colours, sugary nectar, and even sweet scents. From this relationship, the plants primarily gain nitrogen and phosphorus to supplement their nutrient requirements for growth, given that soil nutrients are typically lacking. The most frequent prey is an abundant and diverse group of arthropods, with ants and other insects topping the menu. Other arthropods that are found frequently include spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, while snails and frogs are more unusual but not unheard of. The most uncommon prey for Nepenthes species includes rats found in N. rajah. The composition of prey captured depends on many factors, including location, but can incorporate hundreds of individual insects and many different species.[2] While many Nepenthes are generalists in what they capture, at least one, N. albomarginata, has specialised and almost exclusively traps termites and produces nearly no nectar. Nepenthes albomarginata gains its name from the ring of white trichomes that are directly beneath the peristome. These trichomes—or "hairs"—are palatable to termites and will attract them to the pitcher. In the course of collecting the edible trichomes, hundreds or thousands of termites will fall into the pitcher.[8][9]
Nepenthes bicalcarata provides space in the hollow tendrils of its upper pitchers for the carpenter ant Camponotus schmitzi to build nests. The ants take larger prey from the pitchers, which may benefit N. bicalcarata by reducing the amount of putrefaction of collected organic matter that could harm the natural community of infaunal species that aid the plant's digestion.[11]
Nepenthes lowii has also formed a dependent relationship, but this time it is with vertebrates instead of insects. The pitchers of N. lowii provide a sugary exudate reward on the reflexed pitcher lid (operculum) and a perch for tree shrew species, which have been found eating the exudate and defecating into the pitcher. A 2009 study, which coined the term "tree shrew lavatories", determined that anywhere between 57 and 100% of the plant's foliar nitrogen uptake comes from the faeces of tree shrews.[12] Another study published the following year showed that the shape and size of the pitcher orifice of N. lowii exactly match the dimensions of a typical tree shrew (Tupaia montana).[13][14] A similar adaptation was found in N. macrophylla and N. rajah, and is also likely to be present in N. ephippiata.[14]
Organisms that spend at least part of their lives within the pitchers of Nepenthes species are often called Nepenthes infauna. The most common infaunal species, often representing the top trophic level of the infaunal ecosystem, are many species of mosquito larvae. Other infaunal species include fly and midge larvae, spiders, mites, ants, and even a species of crab (Geosesarma malayanum). Many of these species specialise to one pitcher plant species and are found nowhere else. These specialists are called nepenthebionts. Others that are often associated but are not dependent on Nepenthes species are called nepenthophiles. Nepenthexenes, on the other hand, are rarely found in the pitchers, but will often appear when putrefaction approaches a certain threshold, attracting fly larvae that would normally not be found in the pitcher infaunal community. The complex ecological relationship between pitcher plant and infauna is not yet fully understood, but it has been suggested that the relationship is mutualistic: the infauna is given shelter, food, or protection and the plant that harbours the infauna receives expedited breakdown of captured prey, increasing the rate of digestion and keeping harmful bacterial populations repressed.[11][15][16]
Botanical history
The earliest known record of Nepenthes dates back to the 17th century. In 1658, French colonial governor Etienne de Flacourt published a description of a pitcher plant in his seminal work Histoire de la Grande Isle de Madagascar. It reads:[17]
It is a plant growing about 3 feet high which carries at the end of its leaves, which are 7 inches long, a hollow flower or fruit resembling a small vase, with its own lid, a wonderful sight. There are red ones and yellow ones, the yellow being the biggest. The inhabitants of this country are reluctant to pick the flowers, saying that if somebody does pick them in passing, it will not fail to rain that day. As to that, I and all the other Frenchmen did pick them, but it did not rain. After rain these flowers are full of water, each one containing a good half-glass. [translated from French in Pitcher-Plants of Borneo][18]
Flacourt called the plant Amramatico, after a local name. More than a century later, this species was formally described as N. madagascariensis.[19]
The second species to be described was N. distillatoria, the Sri Lankan endemic. In 1677, Bartholinus made brief mention of it under the name Miranda herba, Latin for "marvellous herb".[20] Three years later, Dutch merchant Jacob Breyne referred to this species as Bandura zingalensium, after a local name for the plant.[21] Bandura subsequently became the most commonly used name for the tropical pitcher plants, until Linnaeus coined Nepenthes in 1737.[18]
Nepenthes distillatoria was again described in 1683, this time by Swedish physician H. N. Grimm.[22] Grimm called it Planta mirabilis destillatoria or the "miraculous distilling plant", and was the first to clearly illustrate a tropical pitcher plant.[18] Three years later, in 1686, English naturalist John Ray quoted Grimm as saying:[23]
The root draws up moisture from the earth which with the help of the sun's rays rises up into the plant itself and then flows down through the stems and nerves of the leaves into the natural utensil to be stored there until used for human needs. [translated from Latin in Pitcher-Plants of Borneo][18]
One of the earliest illustrations of Nepenthes appears in Leonard Plukenet's Almagestum Botanicum of 1696.[24] The plant, called Utricaria vegetabilis zeylanensium, is undoubtedly N. distillatoria.[18]
It was around the same time that German botanist Georg Eberhard Rumphius discovered two new Nepenthes species in the Malay Archipelago. Rumphius illustrated the first one, now considered synonymous with N. mirabilis, and gave it the name Cantharifera, meaning "tankard-bearer". The second, referred to as Cantharifera alba, is thought to have been N. maxima. Rumphius described the plants in his most famous work, the six-volume Herbarium Amboinense, a catalogue of the flora of Ambon Island. However, it would not be published until many years after his death.[25]
After going blind in 1670, when the manuscript was only partially complete, Rumphius continued work on Herbarium Amboinensis with the help of clerks and artists. In 1687, with the project nearing completion, at least half of the illustrations were lost in a fire. Persevering, Rumphius and his helpers first completed the book in 1690. However, two years later, the ship carrying the manuscript to the Netherlands was attacked and sunk by the French, forcing them to start over from a copy that had fortunately been retained by Governor-General Johannes Camphuijs. The Herbarium Amboinensis finally arrived in the Netherlands in 1696. Even then, the first volume did not appear until 1741, thirty-nine years after Rumphius's death. By this time, Linnaeus's name Nepenthes had become established.[18]
Nepenthes distillatoria was again illustrated in Johannes Burmann's Thesaurus Zeylanicus of 1737. The drawing depicts the end of a flowering stem with pitchers. Burmann refers to the plant as Bandura zeylanica.[26]
The next mention of tropical pitcher plants was made in 1790, when Portuguese priest João de Loureiro described Phyllamphora mirabilis, or the "marvellous urn-shaped leaf", from Vietnam. Despite living in the country for around 35 years, it seems unlikely that Loureiro observed living plants of this species, as he states that the lid is a moving part, actively opening and closing. In his most celebrated work, Flora Cochinchinensis, he writes:[27]
[...] (the) leaf-tip ends in a long hanging tendril, twisted spirally in the middle, from which hangs a sort of vase, oblong, pot-bellied, with a smooth lip with a projecting margin and a lid affixed to one side, which of its own nature freely opens and closes in order to receive the dew and store it. A marvellous work of the Lord! [translated from French in Pitcher-Plants of Borneo][18]
Phyllamphora mirabilis was eventually transferred to the genus Nepenthes by George Claridge Druce in 1916.[28] As such, P. mirabilis is the basionym of this most cosmopolitan of tropical pitcher plant species.[11]
Loureiro's description of a moving lid was repeated by Jean Louis Marie Poiret in 1797. Poiret described two of the four Nepenthes species known at the time: N. madagascariensis and N. distillatoria. He gave the former its current name and called the latter Nepente de l'Inde, or simply "Nepenthes of India", although this species is absent from the mainland. In Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's Encyclopédie Méthodique Botanique, he included the following account:[19]
This urn is hollow, as I have just said, usually full of soft, clear water, and then closed. It opens during the day and more than half the liquid disappears, but this loss is repaired during the night, and the next day the urn is full again and closed by its lid. This is its sustenance, and enough for more than one day because it is always about half-full at the approach of night. [translated from French in Pitcher-Plants of Borneo][18]
With the discovery of new species and Sir Joseph Banks' original introduction of specimens to Europe in 1789, interest in Nepenthes grew throughout the 19th century, culminating in what has been called the "Golden Age of Nepenthes" in the 1880s.[2][18] However, the popularity of the plants dwindled in the early 20th century, before all but disappearing by World War II. This is evidenced by the fact that no new species were described between 1940 and 1966. The revival of global interest in the cultivation and study of Nepenthes is credited to Japanese botanist Shigeo Kurata, whose work in the 1960s and 1970s did much to bring attention to these plants.[29]
Nepenthes may be cultivated in greenhouses. Easier species include N. alata, N. ventricosa, N. khasiana, and N. sanguinea. These four species are highlanders (N. alata has both lowland and highland forms), some easy lowlander species are N. rafflesiana, N. bicalcarata, N. mirabilis, and N. hirsuta.
Highland forms are those species that grow in habitats that are generally higher up in elevation, and thus exposed to cooler evening temperatures. Lowland forms are those species that grow nearer to sea level. Both forms respond best to rainwater (but tap water works as long as you flush it out with rainwater every month or if you have soft water), bright light (not full sun), a well drained medium, good air circulation and relatively high humidity, although easier species such as N. alata can adapt to lower humidity environments. Highland species must have night-time cooling to thrive in the long-term. Chemical fertilisers are best used at low strength. Occasional feeding with frozen (thawed before use) crickets may be beneficial. Terrarium culture of smaller plants like N. bellii, N. × trichocarpa and N. ampullaria is possible, but most plants will get too large over time.
Plants can be propagated by seed, cuttings, and tissue culture. Seeds are usually sown on damp chopped Sphagnum moss, or on sterile plant tissue culture media once they have been properly disinfected. The seeds generally become nonviable soon after harvesting, so seed are not usually the preferred method of propagation. A 1:1 mixture of orchid medium with moss or perlite has been used for germination and culture. Seed may take two months to germinate, and two years or more to yield mature plants. Cuttings may be rooted in damp Sphagnum moss in a plastic bag or tank with high humidity and moderate light. They can begin to root in 1–2 months and start to form pitchers in about six months. Tissue culture is now used commercially and helps reduce collection of wild plants, as well as making many rare species available to hobbyists at reasonable prices. Nepenthes are considered threatened or endangered plants and are listed in CITES appendices 1 & 2.
Around 130 species of Nepenthes are currently recognised as valid.[1] This number is quickly increasing, with several new species being described each year.[29]
Hybrids and cultivars
There are many hybrid Nepenthes and numerous named cultivars. Some of the more well known artificially produced hybrids include:
N. 'Coccinea' ((N. rafflesiana × N. ampullaria) × N. mirabilis)
N. 'Emmarene' (N. khasiana × N. ventricosa)
N. 'Gentle' (N. fusca × N. maxima)
N. 'Judith Finn' (N. veitchii × N. spathulata)

New Year's Firework Safety Tips From the National Council on Fireworks Safety
Fourth of July, although the most popular, is not the only holiday where fireworks are used. New Year's Eve is also a major day for fireworks displays. The same rules apply and so it is time to review all those safety tips once again. You don't want to ring in a new year on a bad note.The National Council on Fireworks Safety has issued their top warnings for fireworks in order to keep everyone safe and within the law. Although the fireworks themselves go through a rigorous test before they even get to us it's still not fool proof so let's review a few of the rules to help make the holiday a happy one, not one spent in the ER.
- Know your fireworks; Read the warning labels and performance descriptions before igniting.
- Have a designated shooter to organize and shoot your family show.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Save your alcohol for after the show.
- Parents and caretakers should always closely supervise teens if they are using fireworks.
- Parents should not allow young children to handle or use fireworks.
- Fireworks should only be used outdoors.
- Always have water ready if you are shooting fireworks.
- Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them.
- Wear safety glasses whenever using fireworks.
- Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
- Soak spent fireworks with water before placing them in an outdoor garbage can.
- Never attempt to alter or modify consumer fireworks and use them only in the manner in which they were intended.
- Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks, to the fire or police department.
For a full list of consumer fireworks safety tips and a safety video, please visit www.FireworksSafety.org.

Ivo Ninov, Five Ten® athlete and European Event Coordinator, just scored the first Bulgarian BASE Jump.
Not only was it an exciting day for 5.10®, but Ivo scored air time on the National News.
"Today was our first recorded jump from the bridge Vitinya. "Base jumping is considered one of the most dangerous in the world and is practiced by less than 2000 people," says Marina Evgenieva. Who is he and what drives him to jump from bridges, buildings, antennas?
Story by: Marina Evgenieva operators Michael and Ivan Krastev Filchev
This is the first leap of Ivo Ninov in Bulgaria and the 227th of his basejumping career. Ivo mastered jumping in the United States first making about 150 jumps with a parachute from an airplane. "To know how to behave in the air to control your body now and then you can apply it at lower altitudes, so that jumping from this bridge, it is 120 meters, usually by jumping from an airplane - jump from 3000 meters", said Ivo Ninov. Highest point, from which it leaps Ivailo was 1000 meters. "Basejumping - this is a way of life. When you start it is very addictive. Adrenalin, and others, which is that you need much knowledge to know how to do it with situations," added Ivailo. In these early jumps were carried out with normal parachute equipment, it is believed that the first jump was in 1912 from the Statue of Liberty. The name of the sport stands for four basic categories of objects from which jumps - buildings, antennas, bridges and cliffs. "In Europe it is absolutely legal to jump from cliffs, from anywhere. Switzerland and Norway are the most popular places for jumping, but everywhere in the Alps there are conditions for this thing. But in the states is totally different system - you go, jump in the dark nobody sees, nobody knows anything and everything ends and it is, then it never was, "said Ivo. To obtain equipment in this sport is not easy because before you sell or parachute jumping suit must prove that you are well trained and have extensive experience with jumping from a plane."

Been taking low dose Accutane since October 28th so this is day 51 for me. Log is for others to benefit as much as tracking my own progress as there is not as much info about low dose Accutane logs.
I am taking 20mg of Accutane 3 times a week with the view to taking Accutane as a long-term low maintenance dose.
I did not really get what you would call an initial breakout. I find an area of my face will get a few pimples, they'll take a week or so to clear, then maybe stay clear for a few days or weeks and then the cycle will repeat. Just when I seem to be totally clear and feel that I am going to stay that way I break out a little bit again.
Most of the stuff I have gotten has been only slightly inflamed and tends to dissipate fairly quickly.
I probably range from 95% clear to 99% clear, just can't seem to stay 99%.

Bruce Kreitler: Concern for the environment includes our home and yard
With all of the attention "The Environment" gets lately, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that every little piece of land is its own microenvironment. Not only that, but as you include smaller plots in bigger areas of land, those larger portions are distinctive environmental areas made up of all the factors that influence the small areas they contain.
While all of that may seem to be some kind of broad philosophical statement (the people who know me personally will tell you I'm not that deep of a thinker), I actually have a point to make.
As far as plants are concerned, most of what we accomplish is done by manipulating them or their environment. By the way, this also extends to plants that you are trying to "not grow" such as weeds and trash trees. After all, if nature put them there, and you are trying to get rid of them, that is going to be a change to your local microenvironment.
The profession of urban forestry is working with trees that exist in areas of human activity. Paradoxically, it would be fairly easy to point out all of the things we do that make life hard for trees. That would really give us (humans) a black eye over the hard life our urban trees have. Except, the only reason many urban trees can exist is because of how we have manipulated the environment around the areas where we live and work.
When new housing is carved out of a forest, a lot of trees are going to be lost. I'm familiar with many places where there is no way the undisturbed land would have supported the species variety and number of trees that are growing on it after development.
I recently heard another tree person state "the urban environment is manipulated both intentionally and unintentionally." That's a pretty fair statement. We also have to deal with unintentional environmental changes, or at least the changes that we wish we could avoid.
A good example of this would be something as simple, yet basic, as supplemental watering. Merely adding a few inches of water to change the annual total water available to a tree makes the difference of being able to grow certain species of plants or not. Whether or not people think of something as simple as watering the yard as being an environmental change, it is.
One of the most problematic byproducts of our use of the land is soil compaction. For reasons too long to list here, there just aren't many areas around our houses and business where the soil structure hasn't been damaged and compacted. Sometimes that compaction is to a level where almost nothing can grow. As a tree guy, a lot of the tree problems I deal with have their roots in the unintentional compaction resulting from human activity.
Without the "environmental change" that is grounds keeping and landscaping, our urban and suburban areas would look a lot different from they do now. Would that really be a plus?
Maybe not all human environmental activity is bad after all.

Introduction to DD-WRT - What is DD-WRT Firmware?
DD-WRT is a Linux-based firmware project developed to upgrade and enhance wireless Internet routers. This open-source firmware was developed for specific router models and is used as a replacement for the factory default firmware. This modification lifts restrictions built-in to the default firmware, providing advanced capabilities to make your Internet and Home Network more controllable and versatile.
Manufacturers develop routers for non-technical users in mind, making them simple and easy to use, while limiting their effectiveness as a web-access gateway. DD-WRT transforms a personal-class router with limited functionality into a powerful, multi-use, business-class router. With DD-WRT, a router's enterprise potential can be unlocked at a home user's price.
Benefits range from being able to create Wi-Fi hotspots in your home and increasing your antenna signal transmission strength, to encrypting your entire network by tunneling all traffic through a VPN connection in your router. You can find a more full list of DD-WRT benefits further down on this page.
Below you will find answers to some of the general questions you may have regarding DD-WRT firmware. If you have any other questions about this amazing open source project, then you can either send us a chat using the box in the right corner of this page or check out www.dd-wrt.com - the official home page of DD-WRT.
General DDWRT FAQ Answers
What does it mean to "Flash" a router?
Flashing is the process of replacing the firmware on a router. Due to the limited size of memory on a router, you cannot simply uninstall the factory firmware and then install DD-WRT, as you would do if you were replacing a program on your computer.
In order to alter the firmware you must first upgrade the router's control panel. If this process is done improperly your router will cease to function correctly and the router's hardware may become permanently damaged.
Why should I buy a DD-WRT router from FlashRouters?
While flashing a router with DD-WRT is highly beneficial to you, the risks that are involved can sometimes outweigh the benefits for the user. Flashing a router with DD-WRT can be risky and when done improperly, you may "brick" your router. "Bricking" a router renders it entirely useless as a networking device.
Choosing the correct router and then the correct DD-WRT release candidate for your firmware update can be an arduous process in itself. Then you must complete the 'flash' process correctly, which may be complicated for anyone who is inexperienced in dealing with SoC (System-on-a-Chip) devices.
FlashRouters always come flashed and tested. No need to worry about "bricking." We have chosen high-quality units with the best bang-for-your-buck to meet all levels of networking needs.
Additionally, we can customize your router to internally run many VPN services. Using a VPN Passthrough will give you increased locational security and protection for those worried about the prying eyes of others. Additional immediate benefits for some might be a workaround for many applications that have localized-based services such as Netflix and YouTube. These services geographically restrict their videos and content based on the viewer's IP location. Using a VPN allows you to take the web on the road with you, whether it is internationally for business or on vacation for pleasure.
Instead of running a client program on your computer to access the VPN service of your choice, all you have to do is connect a device to your FlashRouter, and it will automatically tunnel all network traffic through the VPN. This process provides a layer of encryption for all wired and wireless devices you may use to access the Internet.
Remember we are also here for DD-WRT technical support after you purchase a FlashRouter. If you need help setting up your network or taking advantage of any specific DD-WRT benefits we will be glad to assist.
Ready to order? Head over to our selection of Best DD-WRT Router of 2015.
Benefits FAQ Answers
What are the detailed benefits of DD-WRT?
DD-WRT firmware lifts restrictions on a router by providing advanced capabilities that can improve your Internet experience. Here's a list of a few specific DD-WRT benefits:
- Stability of running a Linux-based, non-proprietary firmware.
- VPN (Virtual Private Network) passthrough capabilities.
- Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) controls for bandwidth allocation to your various Network connections.
- Adjustable antenna power to increase your wireless spectrum.
- WDS wireless bridging /repeating protocol AKA the "Repeater Bridge" mode, which allows you to easily expand your network using a second wireless router.
- Cycle your router from the Administration settings.
- Built-in DNS (Domain Name System) caching - speeds up your connection to an array of sites.
- Viewable performance graphs and statistics to watch your network performance and measure your bandwidth levels.
- Configure the router as a Wi-Fi hotspot for your business or neighbors with a verification page using the integrated Chillispot or NOCATSPLASH.
- Radius Authentication for additional wireless security.
- VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) Support.
- A functional DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
- Create unique SSIDs (service set identifiers) when using multiple routers.
- NAT (Network Address Translation) support.
- Frame Bursting Capabilities.
- Software support for the SD-Card hardware modification.
You may not be familiar with all of these features but that should not deter you from migrating to the DD-WRT platform. This added functionality is intended to give you access to a plethora of features that will make your router more useful. As soon as you receive your FlashRouter our specialists will help you with any configurations.
Additionally, any of our FlashRouters can be utilized as a Wireless Access Point/secondary router, to allow for any DD-WRT modifications to permeate through your entire network.
How does DD-WRT compare to standard router firmware?
Can upgrading to a DD-WRT router speed up my Internet?
Yes! When properly used, your DD-WRT has many advanced wireless settings that allow you to extend and boost your wireless signal.
You may use your FlashRouter as a main access point and utilize advanced controls to boost the antenna strength; or you may use your FlashRouter as a secondary router, to increase the signal strength of your main router.
DDWRT Technical FAQ Answers
What are the differences in the DD-WRT builds installed on each router?
The DD-WRT build placed on each FlashRouter is dependent on the Flash memory available on the router. Each FlashRouter has a different size, allowing for different interfaces. Routers with more Flash memory allow for Mega versions of DD-WRT to be installed, which offer a greater variety of router functions and features over the vpn-small version of DD-WRT.
Due to the increased demand and rapid rise of DD-WRT firmware, it can be difficult for the uninitiated to get a handle on which build or release is best for your router. We have tested many different variations (or "flavors") and chosen the most up-to-date and stable releases to accommodate a variety of customer needs.
If you are purchasing your FlashRouter for use mainly as a VPN-client router then you do not have to worry about DD-WRT builds. ALL of our routers offer this VPN client functionality!
Does DD-WRT support OpenVPN and PPTP?
Yes. OpenVPN and PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) are two different protocols for logging into VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) in order to secure your identity and encrypt your connection.
OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN solution which can accommodate a wide range of configurations. Those include home, office, and campus telecommuting, Road Warrior access, WiFi security, secure branch office linking, and more.
PPTP is another a method for implementing VPNs. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP Packets. The intended use of this protocol is to provide additional levels of security and remote access for VPN products.
VPN Reminder
Remember, you need an active subscription with a VPN provider in order to encrypt the network traffic on your FlashRouter. We provide setup help and information for just about any VPN provider including IPVanish, HideMyAss, PrivateInternetAccess, OverPlay, PureVPN, CyberGhost, IVPN, VyprVPN, ExpressVPN, and many more. For a complete up to date list, see our Supported VPN Services comparison chart for more information.
Additional setup or configuration questions?
If you have any additional questions regarding settings or configurations once you have received your FlashRouter, please open a Support Ticket and our DD-WRT specialists will be glad to help!
Remember to check our FAQ page for Setup Guides as they may be able to help with your issue.
