So this year for Xmas I got a nice cold weather Cannondale jacket, a medieval balaclava, and some heavy-duty cycling gloves. This afternoon it was a balmy 30F with a wind chill quite a bit lower, so I went for a spin. It took about a half-hour to put all the stuff on:
After an hour my feet, ears, and nether regions were cold. I also fogged up my glasses whenever I exerted myself, ie went up a hill.
I figure PCad's trick of putting chemical heaters on the toes of the shoes would help. Other than wear a second pair of ear-warmers I don't know what else to do about them. I don't worry about the nether regions too much these days.
Any tips on the fogging issue?
PS I was surprised: on my trunk all I had was a synthetic base, a wool-blend jersey, and the jacket. It felt breezy but I never broke out in a sweat and hence didn't feel cold and miserable.
PPS I'd rather ride an hour in cold weather than 1/2 hour on the trainer.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Companies don't care if you watch the 2012 London Olympics this summer: They're going to market them to you all the same.The Olympics aren't cheap. Early estimates put the cost of this summer's games in London between $15 billion and $18 billion. The security budget alone doubled to $900 million from $450 million since initial tallies were made. Those kinds of costs require partnerships with some of the biggest corporations the world has to offer and lots of cash from those businesses in exchange for their names and logos plastered all over the event.

So yesterday I fell for the first time on my afternoon commute. It was not bad and I was in a residential area when it happened so only two people saw me one was another rider I was riding with and the other one was a rider that was just going by and I am sure he got a good laugh.
The other rider I was riding with made a stop and I was in front of him. I started to come to a stop and unclipped my left foot and was ready to put my foot down when I decided I will turn around but when I looked the other biker was right there and I had to stop and my balance of course switched to my right side and down I went.
No big deal I was able to catch myself with my right arm and then get up quickly. I knocked the cap off my bars and made a small mark on my tape and small scracth on my knee.
The rider I was riding with has fallen before and as he was watching and he said "finally you fall" Then after I got up and was moving around he asked if I was ok.
Well at least I was not at a stop light in a left turn lane in a busy intersection that would have been really embarassing.

Okay, I know, a bit dramatic.
I'm 18-19 weeks along, still super sick, and still getting regular infusions. I was hospitalized at 14 weeks for a couple weeks and on my first day there they put in the PICC line. The insertion was a nightmare (though I'm told I was the worst one she'd ever done - apparently they're usually pretty simple), but over time I've come to really love having the thing.
Today I went in for a hydration and med infusion just like the other 2 I do every week, only today I was running a fever. They asked if I'd had any other weird symptoms, which I had - increased nausea, fatigue, dizziness, etc. I had just written it off as dehydration and HG stuff, but they check and sure enough, my PICC was infected. How did I not KNOW this?! Anyways, they started me on an antibiotic and decided to pull the line asap.
Taking it out was a breeze, but the line itself was covered in thick goopy blood and clots. The nurse was like "You know, it's one of those rare times where I'm thankful for the infection - Pulling it for the infection could have saved your life!"
Yikes! So scary to know that I could have died from one of the many blood clots along the line, or at the very least needed blood thinners and the like. Instead I'm on antibiotics (which I'm not thrilled about, but considering the whole scenario, I'd say it's not too bad) and just have to report to my doc asap if the heart palpitations and chest pain continue.
What a day.

"Callicrate said the EPA does not appear to be going after the corporate feedlots. "EPA is turning a blind eye toward the mega-feedlots that are a real risk for pollution and, instead, is antagonizing small to mid-sized family operations in an effort to help their packer-partners capture the entire live cattle supply chain away from family farm and ranch operations."
We thought the Obama Administration was going to bring about a change to the ongoing corporate control and corporate dominance that has been decimating the U.S. cattle industry. I guess we're seeing that change right now. Rather than reduce corporate control and dominance the EPA is overtly partnering with the corporate beef packers to accelerate the exodus of sustainable, independent family operations. This really smells," Callicrate concluded."

PCSX2 emulator is free and open source software that plays well on PC titles for the PlayStation 2. Its operation is far from perfect yet, but with a little 'tweaking' you can already enjoy colossal as the two chapters of God of War, Metal Gear Solid and Tekken 5 directly under Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. The second PlayStation was a truly historic commercial success for Sony, a toy library consists of nearly 2,000 titles compatible million copies sold worldwide and as many fans more than satisfied, for a console that continues to sell strongly, giving a hard time even the heir PlayStation 3. It is natural that the fans have decided to embark on a project whose ultimate goal of emulation is to recreate the same experience on PCs: he was born so PCSX2 , free software and open source capable of running games designed for PlayStation 2 also on PC.
Today PCXS2 is the biggest and most reliable assembly today, emulator Play Station 2 on the PC. Through this program you can run and play games on a PC. It is very convenient program if you want to play in either game, and money to buy consoles no.

Intel Core 2 Extreme 1900
I had chosen Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 processor for this. This is the best on I found and I will recommend you the same to run the games. The X9100 is the new high-end processor Mobile Intel. It has a frequency of 3.06 GHz, 0.45 nm is etched, has a 1066 MHz bus and 6MB of cache. It is therefore the most powerful processor currently available for laptops. Moreover, because of its name Extreme, its multiplier is unlocked, it is possible to overclock. After integration of the Clevo M570TU which we'll talk soon, we went through the BIOS to see what it offered in terms of overclocking. It turns out that he is in any way comparable to the previous Clevo M570RU-U that we had formed the basis of tests for the Core 2 Extreme X9000. Once selected, we embarked on a rapid bench Super Pi to see what this processor could well be in the belly. The multiplier drops from 11 (baseline) to 13 which provides an operating frequency of 3.53 GHz.
If you like it extremely, which is right in this test. Because with the M570TU X9100 Notebook Guru of the most powerful mobile processor we send through our test Parkour - Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 (3.06 GHz - 3.6 GHz). Intel dominates the mobile processor market. Especially in high-end, there is no alternative to Intel's Core 2 Extreme CPUs. With the X9100 is Intel Centrino 2 launch to go one better. So far, the fastest mobile processor X9000 outclassed in the test in February, the computing competition significantly. Now, the X9100 will provide new benchmarks. The extreme calculator comes on the same Extreme Edition chassis M570 from Clevo. Compared with the normal M570 chassis is larger in the Extreme Edition, heat pipe or vents have been added.
The Clevo chassis of the Guru M570TU still makes a good figure. High quality materials ensure a respectable appearance. Certainly an ASUS or DELL XPS M1730 G70 are much more playful and striking. The transfer must, however, do not hide behind these gaming cars, because with the Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTX graphics card is one well equipped for Games. Extreme processors feature of the overclocking. So does the Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 processor by a overclocking feature in the BIOS from the standard clock at 3.06 GHz to 3.6 GHz overclock. All of us have been testing a clock speed of 3.6 GHz carried out.
Due to its extremely high speed and computing power, it is used primarily in high-end gamer laptops. In addition, it is suitable for various CPU-intensive tasks. These include the conversion of videos, or the full-disk encryption. For the latest games, the Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 is even at the highest detail, provided a fast video card is inserted. The clock is the processor at 3.06 GHz, while the 1,066 MHz front side bus fleet fast. The L2 cache that uses the CPU to cache frequently used data. The high performance of Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 will be paid with an equally high power consumption. Up to 44 watts required by the processor. He is absolutely not suitable for notebooks, will allow long battery life.
PCSX2 emulator setup and recommended games :
Download and first install tool. Download the new version of PCSX2 . You will need PCSX2 + Bios + Plugins for that. For people who have my DL file, you can skip to Step II after extracting the files. Be aware that the download will be available a week or two, that's why if the link is outdated you should proceed as follows:
- First download PCSX2 0.9.4 from the official website
- Executables are placed in the root directory of PCSX2.
- PCSX2 is now installed. That said, we will have to download extra plugins as those provided in the package from version 0.9.4 are not the most successful. You will also need a BIOS.
Note that all these plugins are unzipped in the directory pcsx2 \ plugins, while the BIOS is to unpack the directory pcsx2 \ bios.
Plugins needed for that :
- Bios PAL
- NTSC bios
How to Configure :
In the installation folder, there are 4 executables. PCSX2.exe PCSX2t.exe + + + PCSX2svn377.exe PCSX2tsvn377.exe. The first two correspond to version 0.9.4 and the last two to version 0.9.5. So the last two that we will use. This is the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of PCSX2 root. From here you can change the settings or plugins used by PCSX2 as you wish. Go to Config > Configure to start configuring PCX2. At the very first run, it will probably log out to free up memory.
The executable is pcsx2tsvn377.exe when with him there, if the first does little to start, even when it is not recommended because performance is largely a revised downwards.
Then go to Menu > config > set
In the graphics tab, select the most recent plugin or 0.1.8 or 0.1.9 gsdx (SSE2 for simple hearts, double hearts for SSE3, and SSE4 for the Core2Duo and Core2Quad Penrynn E7xxx and E8xxx)
First, use the Select Folder Plugin and Select Folder Bios to change the directory where PCSX2 loads the plugins and the bios. If you are not using the default directories (/ plugins and / bios) you can use these buttons to change them. The button configuration, testing and information that you see under each plugin have chosen to configure the plugin, to prove that the plugin works correctly (rather obsolete since if it is shown means it works) and to check some information about the selected plugin . Now we talk about the configuration of the different Plugin.
Then configure it as follows by clicking the button Configure.

Aviation Task Force conducts pre-command course for officers in combat zone
June 9, 2008
By Sgt. Brandon Little, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs Office
CAMP TAJI, Iraq -- Any young officer who has taken his first command will probably tell you it can be a little intimidating, even without the added pressures of a combat zone. To help ease the transition, Task Force XII conducted a forward-deployed Pre-Command Course here May 31-June 1.
The course gave captains who have recently taken command, or will take command in the near future, training in areas that ranged from taking care of Soldiers and their Families to managing unit property.
"When you switch company commanders in a deployed environment, the officers who are taking charge don't get to attend a pre-command course," said Lt. Col. Charles Bowery, the Task Force XII executive officer. "We designed a model of that course to give them information about the types of things they'll deal with when they take command."
The course, taught by subject matter experts from across the task force staff, took several weeks to put together, said Bowery.
"None of the folks I've talked to here have ever seen this done before, so we're kind of proud of that, and we made the decision to take people's time away from the mission because this was something we knew was important," he said.
Although this is the first class TF XII has conducted at Camp Taji, it's actually the second one the unit has offered in Iraq.
"There was a (pre-command course) given in November when were in Balad, and all of the participants in that class have already become company commanders," said Bowery. "They've all signed their property books; they're accountable for their equipment, and their Soldiers continue to function with no degradation in capabilities. I think that speaks for the quality of the course."
A portion of the course was dedicated to teaching the new leaders about the roles that warrant officers and noncommissioned officers play in a command.
Flight warrant officers definitely play a large role in aviation operation, and it was beneficial to learn about the different things they do, said Capt. Karin Meindl, commander of Troop R, 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
"I'm a multi-function logistician, but I was commissioned as a transportation officer," said Meindl. "It was an eye-opening experience for someone (like me) who never worked with aviation before. I didn't really understand aviation as far as capabilities and support requirements."
"The training was very informative," said Capt. Brian Schapker, assistant operations officer for TF XII's Task Force Storm, who is scheduled to assume command of Company A, 3rd Battalion, 158th Aviation. "It gave a broad-stroke view of the challenges we'll face when we take command."
"My biggest challenge is that the company I'm taking over has a great commander, so I've got some big shoes to fill," said Schapker. "(Like any new commander), I'll be the most inexperienced person at my job when I take over, so this course got me thinking about what I want to do and how I want to do it."
TF XII, the aviation task force supporting Multi-National Division - Baghdad, is led by the 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, a U.S. Army Europe unit based in Ansbach, Germany.

War protests run through weekend
CHALMETTE, LA. - The third anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq drew tens of thousands of protesters around the globe, from hurricane-ravaged Louisiana to Australia, with chants of "Stop the War" and calls for the withdrawal of troops.
About 200 war veterans, hurricane survivors and demonstrators gathered Sunday at the Chalmette National Cemetery to protest how the military conflict overseas had hurt the country's ability to help the Gulf Coast recover from last year's hurricanes.
"We attacked a country who never did anything to us," said Philadelphia resident Al Zappala, whose 30-year-old son was killed in Iraq in April 2004.
He said his son joined the National Guard to help his community. "He was sent to Iraq based on lies," Zappala said.
Many of the weekend demonstrations across Australia, Asia and Europe drew smaller-than-anticipated crowds - far short of the millions worldwide who protested the initial invasion in March 2003 and the first anniversary in 2004.
Only about 200 joined a march Sunday down New York's Fifth Avenue, with signs including "We the People Need to do More to End the War." Seventeen people were arrested for disorderly conduct, police said. Saturday's rally drew more than 1,000 people.
Anti-war rallies in Japan drew about 800 protesters chanting "No war! Stop the war!" and banging drums as they marched peacefully through downtown Tokyo toward the U.S. Embassy. A day earlier, about 2,000 rallied in the city.
"The Iraq war was President Bush's big mistake and the whole world is against him," said organizer Ayako Nishimura.
Protesters also gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Malaysia, and at least 1,000 people turned out in Seoul, South Korea, which has the third-largest contingent of foreign troops in Iraq after the U.S. and Britain.
Joining the marchers in Chalmette was former Florida National Guard Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, a conscientious objector from Miami Beach, Fla., who was court-martialed and jailed for desertion.
"I joined the military because it seemed to offer stability and camaraderie," he said. "No soldier signs up for a war for oil."
His fellow demonstrators had set out Tuesday on a 140-mile march from Mobile, Ala., to New Orleans to draw attention both to the war and to the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.
Activist Cindy Sheehan, who energized the anti-war movement last summer with her monthlong protest outside Bush's Texas ranch, joined the Gulf Coast marchers in Mississippi on Friday, but left early Sunday for events in Washington.
"Katrina only happened because of the incompetence and callousness of the (Bush) administration, just as we've seen in Iraq," Sheehan said Sunday.
On Saturday, actor Martin Sheen and others called for an immediate end to war in Iraq, addressing some 1,000 anti-war activists who marched through Hollywood. From a stage near Grauman's Chinese Theater, speakers condemned Bush as a liar and criticized his administration for the Iraq war, its record on the environment, the handling of Hurricane Katrina relief and other issues.
The Los Angeles Police Department estimated the crowd at about 1,000, said LAPD officer Jason Lee.

Before heading into Artopia last week, I had a Jager bomb with Charles Leo Gebhardt and T.V. Coahran at the Funhouse. While we were yakking, the subject of the old DV8 came up. DV8 is a now-deceased all-ages club that was just a stone's throw from the Funhouse, right next to Seattle Center.
After our drinks, we wandered over to the old space, and were a bit saddened by the state of things (above). It wasn't the coolest venue in town (whatever that means), but it was a great room for sweaty, all-ages shows.
And that's today's walk down memory lane.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's funny. Back when it felt like everybody hated Pandora (P - Get Report), I was the stock's biggest bull. No matter how many times Apple (AAPL - Get Report) was rumored (and then confirmed) to have a "Pandora Killer," I urged calm. This meant getting behind the company, and often the stock, after some scary plunges and lows in the single digits.That's called conviction.

Its true for Labour and not true for Tories.(Original post by belkin17th)
It is foolish to attack the people that vote solely on the grounds that they are so called 'scroungers' and that they are selfish. like wise it is foolish to say that the tories are a bunch of toffs who don't care about the working class.
The majority of Labour's supporters are losers who havent achieved in life.
The majority of Tory supporters are not toffs, but the middle class.
What motivates people to vote Labour?

Some people just want to relax, get benefits and enjoy and also watch our country crumble with all those immigrants (legal and illegal) flood into the country and cause more chaos by taking our jobs and increase racial tension.
They vote Labour because they don't understand this:

text: THE method of philosophy comes in competition, however, with other tendencies which find their outlet in other methods. One of these is the historical method, or the method of evolution. The tendency of a principle to expand itself to the limit of its logic may be counteracted by the tendency to confine itself within the limits of its history. I do not mean that even then the two methods are always in opposition. A classification which treats them as distinct is, doubtless, subject to the reproach that it involves a certain overlapping of the lines and principles of division. Very often, the effect of history is to make the path of logic clear.1 Growth may be logical whether it is shaped by the principle____________________

"We the jury recommend to impose a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole."
There was little reaction from David Meyer as he learned his life had been spared. It took the jury of 12 about an hour to make the recommendation of life. Fred Parker's family reacts.
Rick Parker, Fred Parker's son, says, "We're satisfied, we're pleased that Mr. Meyer won't be able to do this to anybody else."
Before the jury went back to deliberate, they heard testimony from David Meyer's older brother, Dan Burke. He described a childhood of abuse and loss. He pled for his brother's life.
Dan said, "I love my brother with all my heart and I don't want him dying."
The defense also called upon Dr. Abbey Strauss who explained to the jury that Meyer suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome stemming from that horrible childhood. He believes Meyer was impaired due to that disorder in the few moments when he stabbed Fred Parker 11 times in Market Square.
Prosecutor Frank Allman and Public Defender Paula Saunders made their final arguments to the jury, asking: should Meyer pay the ultimate price of death?
Just an hour later the jury decided no, Meyer will now live out the rest of his natural days behind bars.
Judge Kathleen Dekker will make the final decision Wednesday afternoon. She told the jury she will heavily weigh their recommendation of life in prison.

The Seattle Times editorial board says, once again, "No" to the income tax proposed by Initiative 1098. Proponents falsely claim the tax can't be expanded without a vote of the people.
"LIE" is a word used sparingly in these columns. To call a statement a lie is to say it is false and the person saying it knows it to be false. It is a fitting word for one of the current ads for Initiative 1098, the proposed state income tax.
The ad falsely starts with a green road sign saying, "TRUTH about Initiative 1098." A woman's voice — a calm, reasonable voice — says that "1098 can't be touched without a vote of the people."
That is a lie.
If the ad claimed, "Our initiative says it can't be touched without a vote of the people," that would be true. The initiative does say that, but the language is there just for looks. The Washington Constitution trumps all other state law, and the constitution says that two years after an initiative is passed it can be altered by a majority vote of the Legislature.

The people who wrote I-1098 know this. For them to say, "1098 can't be touched without a vote of the people," is a lie.
It can. It will.
The proponents of a state income tax argue that the Legislature would not ignore a vote of the people. But six months ago it did. On a simple majority vote it suspended Initiative 960, which set a two-thirds rule to raise taxes. I-960 was approved by the people November 2007. It was written as permanent legislation, just as I-1098 is. Last spring, the Legislature suspended it.
That is reality. The politicians know it. The I-1098 people know it, no matter what they put in their ads.
The deeper deception in their proposed income tax is its beatific public face. Recall the ad in which 84-year-old Bill Gates Sr. is dunked into a pool of water. Gates a rich guy, soaked. He smiles at the joke. He is loving it. Kids cheer.
But who will be paying this tax 20 years from now? Those kids. They will pay in economic opportunities lost, and they will pay in cash. They will pay and pay, and they will not recall the cuteness of it.
Please, vote no on Initiative 1098.

Talking with her you'd think she was a bright-eyed schoolgirl who just made her first cupcake, constantly in awe of her surroundings in the RN74 kitchen and the possibilities the ingredients in the pantry hold. In fact, Kim Mahar's roots in Seattle are deep within the arts community. It's a story that starts with Mahar studying glass blowing when she arrived in this city nearly 20 years ago and ends with her blowing sugar at one of Seattle's most revered restaurants. It's a story about a woman who never considered pastries as a career path until a well-timed culinary class unlocked her hidden passion.
Photo by Julien Perry
In this week's Grillaxin, Mahar talks about the modern techniques she's using to make desserts at RN74, the Seattle restaurants that inspire her, and whether or not a good pastry chef also needs to be a good artist.
SW: When did you come to Seattle?
KM: I'm a Midwest girl. I came to Seattle in 1992 from Michigan. I went to art school in Ohio and then moved out here with friends.
What prompted the move out west?
We sort of flipped a coin and Time Magazine was saying that Seattle was one of the best places to get a job and none of us had been here, so we were like, " Alright. Let's go." We jumped in the car and headed this way.
Are you a professionally trained pastry chef?
I have a fine arts degree. I was involved in the local arts community for years. That eventually segued into pastry. I ended up in pastry school at Seattle Central Culinary Academy in 2004. I graduated in 2006.
How did your artistic background segue into desserts?
Photo by Kim Mahar Pain Perdu: Chili and lime poached pears, pear gel, caramel sauce, coconut lime sorbet, vanilla streusel, candied red chillies.
What happened is I moved to Seattle and I got really involved in the glass community here. I started teaching at Pratt Fine Arts Center and I was spending my summers at the Pilchuck Glass School. There's a huge arts community here. There's an incredible amount of artists and people to learn from and teach. I got very curious about blowing sugar and so I started researching to see if I could take one class here or there and you can't! You can't find it! And I thought, "If I ever learn this, I'm going to teach that class!" Anyway, what I heard is that I had to get involved in a culinary arts program. So, out of curiosity, I went up to Seattle Culinary Academy and I walked through the classroom and I talked to the students and I thought, "This looks pretty good," and I started nosing around a bunch more up at the school. They have this fabulous Dean up there, Linda Chauncey, who put a lot of time and energy into the program and just makes it this electric place to learn and I thought, "God! Culinary is so passionate and so creative," and I jumped in with two feet and went back to school. It felt so good. I loved it!
Yet, no part of you before that had the urge to pursue pastry?
No. It was eye-opening. It was so fun!
Do you think someone can be a good pastry chef without being a good artist?
I think you probably could because everything isn't just about the looks. The flavor profile obviously is what speaks to dessert, but the first taste is absolutely with your eyes. Take all the culinary magazines, books and everything; you're not tasting anything there. It's all visual and they are phenomenal to look at, right? Especially with all the modern techniques happening in food. Being an artist and stepping into pastry, I think it's a very good place for me to be.
Once you graduated from the SCCA, what was the first job you landed?
The first thing I did, even before my last day of school, is go to work for Sue McCown at [the short-lived] Coco La Ti Da. Working with Sue was fabulous. I wanted to try and expose myself to people who had experience, were role models, and were career driven and she was way up there at the top of the list. And then from there, I went to Macrina and worked for Leslie Mackie who was a phenomenal role model and cheerleader. She's one of my greatest friends. I'll have her around forever. She's just such a good, good person. After Macrina, I went to the Four Seasons when they opened. As soon as I heard Michael Mina was coming to Seattle I was like, "Oh, please!," crossing my fingers, "Let's do this!"
What sort of cool, new techniques are you using in the kitchen?
New to me since starting at RN74 is that we're using quite a few chemistry processes, like xanthan gums and agar agar and carrageenan and all of these things. I get home at night and I gotta go look them up, "Okay, What is this stuff?," and it's a lot of research on my part, a lot of studying. It's fabulous. I bake cakes in a combi-oven that has both heat and steam so you can regulate how much steam you want to heat something. It's a very cool piece of equipment. Now I do all of my custards in that oven and there's no more water bath. I just put it on 100-percent steam. I have a dehydrator that's going 24-hours a day dehydrating meringues. Oh, and I make meringues out of egg-white powder--dehydrated egg-whites instead of actual egg whites so I can control the amount of liquid that I want to rehydrate it with. I think I'm turning into part chemist, but art is kind of like that.
What is the best part about working at RN74?
Photo by Kim Mahar Creme Brulee: popcorn ice cream, popcorn and pretzel streusel, curry caramel peanuts, caramel glass.
I work with a fabulous group of people in the kitchen. That's probably hands-down one of the best things. There's a lot of collaborating, a lot of evolving ideas, a lot of inspiring things that happen back there; I get inspired by the savory side every day. I do. Even all of the spices that we have here, I'm always nosing around and going, "What is that? Oh my gosh!"
When I first started working here, probably one of the most profound things that really set with me and felt like one of my own personal mantras was our corporate pastry chef, Lincoln Carson, said, "Question every single thing that you do." And it just keeps you going. It's what we do here.
Do you feel like curiosity is a huge part of maintaining your success?
Absolutely, but the curiosity is what's inspiring, isn't it? Watching things unfold or discovering something new, my god, it's so fun!
How have pastries evolved since you've been in Seattle?
Gone are the days of a having a square something in the center of a plate. Since I started working here, I now have to not only pay attention to the components that I put down on a plate, but I also have to pay attention to all of the negative space around it. It's so cool that way! One of my first platings I did for chef Michelle [Retallack], I came out and I presented it to her and she said, "This is great. I need you to go back and I need you to think about the negative space on this plate," and I thought, "My god, I love it here!"
What kind of desserts do you like to eat?
I like things whimsical and nostalgic. I like things that are gooey. I try to incorporate those things in my own desserts.
When you say nostalgic dessert, what are you thinking of?
The other day we were talking about Nutter Butters and what a great idea to build a dessert around them. I mean, look at how whoopie pies have taken over. It's nostalgia!
What are some of the desserts on your current menu?
Photo by Kim Mahar Sticky Toffee Pudding: Vanilla bay leaf ice cream, candied kumquats, vanilla streusel, OJ gel, caramel cognac gel.
I just put sticky toffee pudding on the menu. Just the name, it sounds so good! It has modern approaches with different types of gels. One is all boozy, it has cognac in it. It's a good combo with toffee and a cake made out of dates. I did vanilla ice cream I steeped with bay leaves. So, it's taking all of these ideas and making them your own and evolving them into something new. The whole layout of the plate is visually stunning. It's like, "I want to get into that!"
What would you order on your own menu if you were going to go big?
I just put something really fun on the menu and the flavor profiles are so good! This is what I'd go for: It's a creme brulee and it has popcorn ice cream and it has a piece of caramel glass on there, so visually it has a lot of height and whimsy and it's really beautiful. It has a little pretzel sugar streusel and it has curry-coated peanuts. So your profiles are caramel, salty popcorn and curry.
Do you have a favorite candy?
It changes all the time, but I like things chewy. Something like Skittles? Bring it on! When Halloween comes I always go for the baby Snickers, maybe because it's a baby. Miniature is awesome. On my desserts I really get fixed on putting really little macarons as one of the garnishes because they're so little and you just want to eat it because it's so little!
Pie or cake?
I'm super pro-cake. I love pie, too. I made all of the wedding cakes at the Four Seasons.
Any advice for cake bakers this holiday season?
Here's the thing. Always question what you do. Everyone says, at least in big bake shops, that you need to brush the layers of your cake with simple syrup. Sugar and water. Why? They're brushing it with sugar and water because their cake is dry! If you bake the most phenomenal cake and it comes out of the oven, it's not going to be dry so you don't need to brush it! Just start with an incredible cake. To me, it just adds more sweet to something that's already sweet.
Any bakeries or other restaurants you're inspired by here in Seattle?
Spur's foie gras ice cream.
I like what's happening over at Bakery Nouveau. I love Macrina because they're my family over there and I love what Leslie is doing with her desserts all the time and her process for how she works. I like the desserts that Dana [Tough] and Brian [McCracken] are doing at their restaurants. I think there's some good desserts coming out of Seattle.
As a pastry chef, what are some of the questions you get asked most?
I get, "What's your favorite thing to make?" and "What's your favorite ingredient?" a lot. "Do you bake all the time at home?" No! I don't! I make dog food at home because I have an old dog. She's an old girl, an old Great Dane, so I'm a dog chef when I get home.
If you had an extra $20, what would you splurge on at the grocery store?
I'd get a nice bottle of wine and probably a really awesome piece of cheese. Okay, maybe it's not that great of a bottle of wine. A so-so bottle of wine and a really great piece of cheese!
Your last meal.
It's going to have avocados and it's going to be Mexican food. And I'm going to go sinful for the soft flour tortilla.
What's next for you?
You know what I'm going to do? I have always really felt a lot of charge to the battery and a lot of energy off of teaching. Right now as a pastry chef I'm a student. I'm a student every day. I was teaching pastry theory to the culinary students at the Culinary Academy and because of my hours here [at RN74] I had to take a couple semesters off, but I want to get back into that. And do that in tandem with this. Pastry theory may seem like a very boring subject and it absolutely can be, but I have a lot of passion about pastry and so I just got really into it with the students and I think even though it's a 7 a.m. class they really got into it, too. I still have students coming in [to RN74] for dinner all the time and asking for me. It's just phenomenal to feel that impact. It's just a huge compliment.

Black was a little lazy at castling !
Well, anybody can tell that!
Well I tried RxQ for the 2nd move. It took awhile to see why that didn't work.
First Page !!
Why is that picture so big?
Does it make a difference if black takes with the knight instead of the queen? I don't see any difference.
good one!
very very nice...
Very nice puzzle.
I would have played qxg5 and had some queen fun. but this works.
got it.
Wow ! You're good. But obviously didn't notice that white had not castled, either.
Though QxR was possible but it is not a mate since the black queen can block. A good one!
Easy !
Nice exercise in choosing the right options.
Clearance Mate! Thanks for the lesson. The knight checks the Black King; to wit; clears the diagonal h2-h8 for the Bishop to administer Checkmate!
How on earth did black get into this position in the first place?

Skip to comments.Friedman's 'heresy' hits mainstream Private Social Security accounts were his idea
Posted on 09/12/2005 10:43:18 AM PDT by george76
San Francisco seems an unlikely home for the man who in 1962 first proposed the privatization of Social Security.
Asked why he dwells in liberalism's den, Milton Friedman, 92, the Nobel laureate economist and father of modern conservatism, didn't skip a beat.
"Not much competition here," he quipped.
Friedman is considered perhaps the most influential economist...
It was Friedman who in 1962, with the publication of "Capitalism and Freedom," first proposed the abolition of Social Security, not because it was going bankrupt, but because he considered it immoral.
Friedman calls Social Security, created by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, a Ponzi game.
Charles Ponzi was the 1920s Boston swindler who collected money from "investors" to whom he paid out large "profits" from the proceeds of later investors. The scheme inevitably collapses when there are not enough new entrants to pay earlier ones.
That Social Security operates on a similar basis is not really in dispute.
The biggest misconception about the program, he argues, is that workers believe it works like insurance, with the government depositing taxes in a trust fund.
"I've always thought it disgraceful that the government should be essentially lying about what it was doing," he said.
He calls himself an innate optimist, despite the unpopularity of many of his ideas.
When he moved to San Francisco in the 1970s, the city was debating rent control, he recalled. So he wrote a letter to The Chronicle saying, "Anybody who has examined the evidence about the effects of rent control, and still votes for it, is either a knave or a fool."
What happened? "They immediately passed it," he laughed.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
Freidman is really hit and miss with his logic.
The same reason was given by one of the estimated twenty-five heterosexual male inhabitants of the city.
"Everybody goes around talking about the problems created by the declining number of workers per retiree," he said. "How come life insurance companies aren't in any problem?"
The question is quintessential Friedman: simple, accessible and formidable.
Life insurance companies take premium payments and invest them in factories and buildings and other income-producing assets, Friedman said. These accumulate in a growing fund that can then pay benefits. Social Security, by contrast, operates pay-as-you-go, collecting payroll taxes from workers that immediately go to pay retirees.
Asked why, if Social Security is so terrible, it is the most popular government program in American history, Friedman replied, "Well, because why does a Ponzi game work? It's easy to understand why it's popular. So far, on the average, retirees have gotten more out of the system than they put into it. "
What about the fact that Social Security has reduced poverty among the elderly?
"Well," he replied, "what it has done is transfer a lot of income from the young to the old. It is certainly true it has made the old people of the United States the best treated old people in the world."
But why is that a bad thing? "Oh," he replied. "It's not a bad thing for them, but what about the young?"
It is welfare for the greediest generation...
Where does he miss?
Don't get me wrong, I like the accounts idea. But he was on board with criticising Bush a coupla days ago in the paper.
Milton Friedman ping
"Anybody who has examined the evidence about the effects of rent control, and still votes for it, is either a knave or a fool."
Have you ever see Bay area women?...DOG CITY woof woof!... they all seem to have that hard core femnazi look
The dude is 92 and senile.
His ivory tower rants are out of synch with current economic conditions.
It would be better if he retired and let younger, more agile minds do the hard thinking.
The poor guy just can't keep up anymore.
Do you have some point of objective disagreement with Dr. Friedman, or should we all be compelled by your feeeeelings into not liking him ourselves?
I wish he could live to be 190. He is the brightest human being on earth.
One of the greatest economists of our time. If he'd done nothing besides training Thomas Sowell, he would *still* have been great :-).
Good to see that the dear old gent is still kicking!
Something we can agree on. My college roomate got his PhD under Friedman and is now department chairman at Rutgers.
The first book assigned to me in freshman economics was Capitalism and Freedom.
Do any examples come to m ind?
I dare say that Milton Friedman's powers of logic are about six sigma higher than the mean Freeper's.
He has an unfair advantage - he's not pregnant!
"The dude is 92 and senile."
At 92, he still can out-think and out-debate anyone who is foolish enough to take him on.
You are just mad because he shops at Wal-Mart.
Did you see this?
You are correct.
Milton in 1962 first proposed the privatization of Social Security.
He is still ahead of any Ponzi socialist.
Every day, and they don't have any such look. Women who look like that are at most one in a hundred, even here.
Education vouchers, too. What a mind! I admit he lost me, philosophically, with the negative income tax idea(handouts is handouts), but it was still clever.
One of the explanations for the blind eye Washington turns toward illegal immigration.
I think he was trying to remove the middleman bureaucrats so more of the money would transfer directly.
You are correct that a handout is still a handout...just less expensive without the overhead.
A bad idea, but a less bad idea.
I agree.
The press is personality driven. The reason the article got published is because it had the name "Friedman" up there and not the name of some grad student. To a large extant this is why someone like Einstein could wield power into the '50s even though his best work had dried up 40 years earlier.
There's hope. IMHO the press has had it's day and we're now getting our news from forums like this one-- just chock full of ideas from 'some grad student'.
The only problem with privatizing social security is that it's too late. Should have been done when Clinton was President. Now it will only accelerate the collapse.
In what context? Some of Bush's economic policies deserve a great deal of criticism.
This was Thomas Friedman and maybe you are talking about Milton. Sorry. Anyway it was about hurricane relief.
Youth leans toward liberalism, Maturity towards conservatism, and after you turn 65, SOCIALISM.
If Friedman ran for president I'd vote for him even if he were 102.
Education vouchers are on the same principle ... but still redistribution, just as the negative income tax is.
Oh, well, one can't agree on everything :-).
LOL..I have seen some younger "minds" here on FR show their lack of synch with current economic conditions...they were never in the same league and could never catch up to Friedman no matter how long they lived.
Stupid ideas don't necessarily come from loss of mental faculties from age, some people never had the faculties and are too ignorant to know it. I wonder what these "younger more agile minds use for their excuse?
Yeah, it's sadly similar to watching a crippled Mickey Mantle try to eke out one more year at first base.
Milton certainly earned his reputation, but it's difficult watching his capacities diminish with age. I sincerely hope that it doesn't tarnish his legacy.
FDR should have privatized it to start.
JFK had the chance in 1962 when Milton proposed it in 1962.
Every year that we wait will be another year wasted...
The Ponzi scam should last until I am dead...so " what me worry..."
It will be my grandkids problem to pay off that debt.
Now lets talk about Medicare's future bills and debt...and who is going to be stuck with those bills?
Capitalism & Freedom is an excellent book, and available on amazon.com
Social Security should be renamed Socialist Security. It's a collectivist program which would fit the former USSR. It should be completely dismantled, first by allowing anyone who wants to bail out to receive a lump sum payment consisting of all employee and employer contributions plus interest. Stop adding new participants.
"Every year that we wait will be another year wasted... "
It's simply too late right now. A key part of the privatization idea is that you could privatize a large portion of the SS trust fund without increasing taxes since social security was running an operating surplus. But now, the operating surplus is dwindling. It's no longer very significant, and by 2016, it will be gone completely. That means that if you want to privatize, then you are also going to have to raise taxes in order to make up for the money diverted out of the trust fund and into private accounts.
Ditto. There's nothing wrong with SF womens looks. I married one after all.
Yea it's funny I work in Telcom In Los Angeles...an when I had to go to the Silicone Valley/Bay Area for training I expecet to see some good looking women...
or at the very least some hippie chick/earth mother types...
but they were all more of an Anti-Earth Mother look ..a hard dry severe Commie Puritan librarian look...(AKA femnazi look)
My first reaction ...Now I know why all the men up there are gay
Yeah, I love it when people who don't live here and probably visited once in their lives make sweeping generalizations about the Bay Area on the Internet so they can sound like "experts". ;)
You are nuts. No a single fact or incident stated in your posts.
Thanks - Now that you pointed it out!
Seems like Friedmann is the "Last Conservative Standing" for fiscal responsibility.
Willie doesn't like Uncle Milty because he is anti-union and pro Wal-Mart.
