Release notes: 5/27/2015 FluoRender 2.16
We are excited to announce the 2.16 release of FluoRender. For Microsoft Windows users, FluoRender 2.16 incorporates minor feature improvements and issue fixes. However, we have upgraded all graphics functions, conforming to the OpenGL core profile specifications. It allows us to have continuous support for future graphics processing units. FluoRender 2.16 requires graphics cards with a minimum support of OpenGL 3.3. Older graphics hardware need to be replaced. For Apple Mac OS X users, there is the exciting news that all features previously exclusive to Windows are now available*. It still requires relatively recent Apple hardware (2009 and on) and the operating systems.
These issues were fixed:
1. It sometimes did not read an LZW-compressed, RGB channel TIFF file correctly.
These improvements were included:
1. The calculation of the depth attenuation has been improved, which is based on the data size from current viewing direction. A higher contrast can be achieved by increasing the attenuation factor. The depth attenuation effect now also supports mesh data.
2. It allows users to change the text and color of measurement tools, including locators and rulers.
3. It supports True-type fonts in the render view. You can change the settings for font and size in the setting dialog. You can also copy your own True-type font file to the installation directory to let FluoRender use it.
4. OpenGL core profile version and GLSL version can be selected in the FluoRender setting file.
5. The documentation of tutorials was updated to include new features as well as a chapter on movie export.
* Ten-bit output requires capable hardware and may not be available for Apple computers.
Note: FluoRender 2.16 was officially announced on May-26, 2015. We had put a test version on-line earlier than this date, so that the new functions, especially on Mac OS X, could be tested. If you happen to download the 2.16 version prior to the official release, please download it again.
Last but not least, we would like to thank Ken Calderone from the University of Michigan, who suggested the improvements including modifiable text for measurement tools, font, and text size settings. We appreciate the continuous support from our users. Please let us know if you have any comments.
Release notes: 1/27/2015 FluoRender 2.15.2
These issues were fixed:
1. It failed to read a TIFF file with multiple strips when saved with LZW compression.
2. Memory leaks when multiple GPUs were installed and an OpenCL kernel was used.
3. A volume data set could not be compressed with OpenGL RG texture compression.
4. The application icon looked jagged under Windows.
5. Rulers were not saved in a project file.
6. Applying paint brush strokes on a data set larger than 4 GB caused FluoRender to crash. After fixing, it performs best on the latest graphics cards with 12 GB of memory (Geforce GTX Titan X or Quadro K6000).
These improvements are included:
1. When the keyboard shortcuts for the paint brush tool are used, it allows single mouse clicking to select/unselect a circular region.
2. Speed of applying a paint brush stroke is significantly improved, especially for large data on slow computers.
These new features are included:
1. A probe tool to create a two-point ruler along the viewing direction. When used in combination with the paint brush tool (via key board shortcut), it creates a cylindrical selection along the ruler.
2. A profile tool to calculate intensity profiles along rulers. This tool is best used along with the probe tool to generate an averaged intensity profile within the cylindrical mask region.
Release notes: 1/27/2015 FluoRender 2.15.1
This version fixed a bug in FluoRender 2.15, which wrote a blank frame when exporting movies in QuickTime MOV format. However, we also incorporated these new features and improvements:
1. Automated key generation for advanced movie making
2. A 10-bit output option for compatible professional graphics hardware (an AMD FirePro or Nvidia Quadro graphics card connected with a 10-bit capable LCD display via DisplayPort)
3. Antialiasing options for compatible graphics cards
4. Automatic cropping in movie making/image capturing
5. Minor UI improvements
For more details, please read FluoRender User's Guide, which can be accessed
within FluoRender or downloaded along with FluoRender.
Release notes: 12/29/2014 FluoRender 2.15
New Features
1. OpenCL kernel editor. New in the 2.15 release of FluoRender, an OpenCL kernel editor is added to the tool collection. The editor can be accessed from menu->Tools->OpenCL kernel editor. It allows users to create, load, edit, and save an OpenCL kernel for 3D image processing. Active kernel is applied to selected channel when the "Run" button is pressed. A list of built-in kernels are also provided for basic 3D filtering operations. See Chapter 19 of the user's manual for more details.
2. Automatic threshold estimation for paint brush. New in the 2.15 release of FluoRender, threshold for paint brush can be estimated by applying brush strokes. The estimation is based on the local histogram of the data under the first applied stroke. Its calculation is performed with an OpenCL kernel. See Chapter 14 of the user's manual for more details.
Improvements include UI updates and bug fixes. More importantly, we edited a user's manual that covers all the latest features of FluoRender in great detail.

FAQ1. What computer hardware is good for running FluoRender?
First of all, FluoRender is built to run on a personal computer with good graphics processing capabilities. Although most of today's personal computers can run FluoRender, including Windows desktops, laptops, Apple MacBooks, iMacs, and MacPros, it is best to purchase one with a gaming level or professional graphics card. Wikipedia provides detailed comparisons of graphics card from both Nvidia and AMD. Generally speaking, a graphics card with higher "Processing Power GFLOPs" is also better for FluoRender. We would recommend a top-of-the-line gaming graphics card over a professional graphics card. FluoRender can take advantage of some features of a professional graphics card, such as 10-bit output and better anti-aliasing. However, the difference is subtle in most situations. Second, strong CPU processing power is generally desired. We would recommend a latest CPU with higher clock frequency over more cores. Third, if you have large data sets to process, equip as much system memory as possible. For the year 2015, the consumer level computers can be equipped with as much as 64 GB of system memory, while a professional desktop can have 512 GB or more. Last, if you want to load data quickly or play back large time sequence smoothly, you need high speed access to hard drives. We would recommend a discrete RAID controller with abundant cache. Speed of hard drives is also important for handling large data sets. We would recommend 4 or more solid state drives configured in RAID0 mode.
2. Why can't I start FluoRender?
There are several possibilities for FluoRender to fail. First, check if the graphics driver is installed and updated to the latest version. Some old graphics card may not support OpenCL, which is required since version 2.15. If that is the case, you can download and try an earlier version of FluoRender. Since version 2.16, we require the graphics card to support at least OpenGL 3.3. If you have an old graphics card and want to use FluoRender on it, please replace your graphics card or download an old version of FluoRender. Second, make sure that your operating system supports 64-bit applications. Since version 2.15, we have dropped the support of 32-bit applications, which means FluoRender is 64-bit only. For Windows, you have to purchase the x64 version of the operating system; for Mac OSX, you have to update to the recent versions. Finally, FluoRender may not be properly installed, or some required modules have been accidentally uninstalled. Reinstalling FluoRender may solve the issue.
3. Why can't I load a file into FluoRender?
FluoRender can only load supported file formats, which include TIFF and some microscopy manufacturer specific formats. We write our own readers for these formats to achieve the best performance, especially for large data and time sequence data. So, we can only support "Open" and standard formats. If you have files of unsupported formats, you have to convert the format using a third-party tool. ImageJ can be a good choice in most situations.
4. Why can't I use some of the functions in FluoRender?
If you can use FluoRender for the basic visualizations of volume data, but not some advanced functions, such as paint brushes, it means your system does not support all OpenGL features. This can be that you are using a virtual machine, a remote client, or a system with an integrated graphics card with limited capabilities. You may want to upgrade your system to a standalone desktop computer with the latest graphics hardware to use all features in FluoRender.
5. Does FluoRender have a Linux version?
The official FluoRender releases only include a Windows version and a Mac OSX version, both 64-bit. If you want to run FluoRender on systems other than these, you can download the source code of FluoRender and build it on a different operating system. Additionally, you can send us emails and let us know your requirements.
6. How can I fix FluoRender crashes when rendering and computing take long time?
You may add a registry value, called "TdrLevel", on Windows. More information can be found here.

Submitted April 1, 1885
Decided April 13, 1885
The lands granted by Congress to the State of Kansas for the benefit of the St. Joseph & Denver City Railroad Company by the Act of July 23, 1868, were not open to sale or settlement after the line or route of the road was "definitely fixed," which it was when the map of the route adopted by the company was filed with the Secretary of the Interior and accepted by him.

This was a bill in equity to compel a conveyance of land. Plaintiff below derived title through the grant of lands made by Congress to the State of Kansas, to aid the St. Joseph & Denver City Railroad Company. Defendant below derived title through a patent from the United States granted after the company had filed its maps with the Secretary of the Interior.

Can you experts please help me decide if any these combinations work on my camera? Thank you!

I visited this small salon twice and found the staff helpful and accomodating. I bought the vouchers for my mother who has shoulder length hair but was unable to use these and the salon was happy to transfer the treatment to me for a little more money as I have long hair.
The salon even offerered me a hot drink which rarely happens when you visit using a voucher. The blow dry was very professional and I was overall trully pleased with my wash and styling. I plan to visit when I need a makeover for my red carpet event.
Very pleasant staff who didnt rush me because and despite being a satiurday evening. The salon agreed to wash and blow dry my hair for a little extra as I now have long hair and the voucher was for shoulder lengthy hair and they were happy to accomodate.
Good value for money and recommended.
This was my second visit to the salon and although I'm not keen on the neon lights that stay on during the facial, the therapist and booking persons are very pleasant and accomodating.
My facial has been relaxing on both occasions and I have had several people at work comment on my shiny skin after these facials; great value for money and handy if you are near Waterloo.
Despite cancelling last minute due to family circustances,Lenta was very accomodating. The therapist was knowledgeable and attentive and my facial was lovely; would have been ideal if the neon lghts could have been switched off but the therapist assuerd me tht this was in the process of being done and I'm looking to make my July booking soon.
I visited early Saturday morning and the therapist was very pleasant and efficient. I had booked online for half a leg wax which had all been messed up by Wahanda but they put it right later; the price of £10 was a great deal for a half leg wax but due to the booking mix up I aready had a half leg wax elsewhere and had an underarm wax instead.
The salon is in central Knightsbridge and is clean, with attentive staff who were very accomodating; higly recommended for cleanliness, central loaction, good price and great staff. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
This is my third visit and never disatisfied; great therapist, great price and great lashes-highly recommended.
The salon is centrall located on the kings Road inside a hairdressing salon and Daniela is a careful and diligent therapist
I bought the voucher as a ift for my mother and her friend and it seems they found it hard to make an appointment as salon didn't seem very accomodating but treatment was fine.
Local salon and value for money but not really about customer care but maybe they dont feel they need to provide this for the price of the treatments.
Salon is located close to covent garden tube and the therapist carries out treatments in the basement so handy location. Salon was clean although it seems to be primarily a hair salon.The therapist was friendly and very pleasant. My ails were trully cleaned and tidied before the gel manicure and I was very pleased. They also have a loaylaty scheme which is always a bonus.
The salon was clean and the therapist knowledgeable and helpful and am looking foward to going back for a facial without any voucher.
Recommened it highly with treatments with the Polish therapist who's name I have forgotten.
I made an appointment for Saturday 5/11 over a week ago and it was fine. On the day, I called to see if they could bring my apt forward but was told this wasnt possible so I kept the original at 2.30 having received a text the day before confirming my apt for 5/11.
The trains were running late so I called the salon to inform that of this and was told that there was no appointment for me and I couldn't book for another day which doesnt make sense when they clearly had messed up my apt since my morning call. I spoke to the manager who promised to call me back and has failed to do so but suggested I get a refund from Wahanda which clearly doesnt account for the incovenience, cost and sheer waste of my afternoon. No apology or explananation.
Clearly manners are missing and pigs fly at this venue. They have no explanation for the text which confirms my appointment but which they could not locate. Dont waste your time going if this is the treatment you receive on the phone before you get to the salon!
Central London venue for tretament which was carried out by a pleasant and knowledgeable therapist. She explained the products she was using and there was no hard sell. She also gave me information on several products that I used and wanted to clarify.
I would recommend the treatement and therapist anytime. Great value for money for sumptious products that Monique makes herself at times.

The Greenhouse Effect
The global warming forecast is not new, nor has it changed much over the last century. The basic physics of the greenhouse effect was described in 1827 by Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier. Fourier was a mathematician in Bonaparte's army in Egypt. His name is best known for the Fourier transform, a mathematical technique for separating some complicated signal (such as the history of temperature through time, to choose an apropos example) into the sum of simple waves of different frequencies (such as the day/night cycle and the annual cycle), what we call calculating a spectrum.
Fourier's contribution to Earth science is the idea that gases in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation could eventually warm up the surface of the earth. He made the analogy of a greenhouse, but the actual name "greenhouse effect" came later.
The temperature of a planet is set by a natural thermostat, which balances the planet's energy budget. Energy comes in to the Earth as sunlight and leaves as infrared. The greenhouse effect of a gas changes the outgoing part of the budget, the infrared. All objects warmer than absolute zero shine in the infrared. A hot heating element glows red that we can see; the same object at room temperature glows in the infrared.

Mozambique First Lady debunks presidency rumours
Mozambican First lady Maria da Luz Guebuza has dismissed as ludicrous rumours that she would be a likely candidate in her country's presidential election next year, the local media reported on Thursday.There have been persistent speculations that the first lady was aspiring to be president given that her husband President Guebuza is barred by the constitution from seeking a third term in office.
The first lady said apart from being a key figure within the ruling Frelimo party, she would never nurse any political ambition of becoming the president of Mozambique after her husband's term in office ends next year.
Prior to her interview, there were widespread speculations that her husband was desperate to continue to be influential in Mozambican politics and was grooming her to succeed him in a bid to realize this end.
In a widely publicized interview which was aired by private television station, Stv and published by its sister daily publication O Pais, Maria da Luz said "this is impossible".
"I am a senior cadre of the Frelimo Party, but it's not possible, I have been involved in very intensive work in defense of women and children and I would continue to contribute my quota to national development but not as president of the country. Frelimo and Mozambique have many cadres and there are many people who can take on this job" she was heard saying.
Meanwhile, President Guebuza, an independence veteran turned businessman who was re-elected to a second five-year term in 2009, is one of Mozambique's richest men.
Although the national constitution bars him from a third term, Frelimo has not designated a likely successor.
Guebuza is criticised by opponents for using his position to expand his family business which ranges from ports and logistics to construction, tourism and publishing thus earning himself the nickname "Guebusiness".
A 2009 U.S. embassy cable quoted a former foreign minister Leonardo Simao as saying Guebuza "runs the party like the mafia".
The Guebuza family's commercial clout stretches to the president's youngest daughter Valentina, a civil engineer in her early 30s.
She was elected to Frelimo's Central Committee last year and featured in a 2012 Forbes Africa magazine article as Mozambique's "Millionaire Princess".

LOS ANGELES — This summer, actor David Suchet will complete a task 25 years in the making when the final adaptations of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mysteries are aired. However, if fans want to see Poirot's final three adventures, they'll need a good broadband Internet connection.
The English actor Suchet has been playing Christie's Belgian detective creation in a series of adaptations of all 70 of her Poirot stories since 1989. This summer, the 13th series of adaptations, made up of five TV movies, will debut in America, but not all episodes will air on PBS' "Masterpiece Mystery," which has been the show's stateside home for most of its run.
The first two films, "The Big Four" and "Dead Man's Folly," will air on PBS on July 27 and Aug. 3, respectively. But the final three films will be available only on the British TV streaming service Acorn TV. The final three episodes are "Elephants Can Remember" on Aug. 11, "Labors of Hercules" on Aug. 18 and "Curtain," the final Poirot mystery, on Aug. 25. (The series concluded on British TV in November.)
All five episodes in the final season, as well as more than 60 other installments, will be available on Acorn TV's service, available through Roku, after "Curtain" debuts.

"Curtain," the final Poirot novel, was first published in 1975, but had been written by Christie 30 years earlier and stored in a bank vault until the writer authorized its publication after she had written her last novel, "Postern of Fate." "Curtain" was the last Christie novel published while she was still alive.

It follows the first offer made recently by Western Kentucky.

He's also picked off 3 passes roaming the Mosley secondary. Nat and the 'fins finish the regular season tomorrow night at T-O against Walton.

"Esfahan" Top 5 Page for this destination Esfahan by omidamini
Esfahan Travel Guide: 356 reviews and 1,067 photos
The American scholar, Arthur Upham Pope, whose monument A Survey of Persian Art in six volumes is indispensable to all students of that subject, describes this Madrasa as (perhaps the last great building in Iran).
It was built between 1706 and 1714 during the reign of Shah Sultan Hussein, the last of the Safavids.
The Shah`s mother is said to have paid for the building and also for the adjoining carvanserai which was to provide the School`s endowment and which Yas converted in 1962-65 into what perhaps the most surprising and luxurious hotel in the Middle East.
The great tiled dome over the sanctuary at the north end of the building is covered with large arabesques in yellow, black and white against a brilliant turquoise background. Round the drum runs a band of contrasting lapis lazuli blue decorated with whitecalligraphic inscriptions.
The brilliance of coloring of the dome and minarets is emphasized by the Khaki-colored brick work below.
Lord Curzon, statesman and traveler, whose Persia and the Persian Question, published in1892, is a mine of individual information, described the Madrasa as (one of the stateliest ruins that I saw in Persia).
However, it has been skillfully restored and is still used as a mosque, though no longer as a seminary.
The Hasht Behesht (The Eight Paradise Palazzo) is an octagonal structure, typical of many royal palaces in Isfahan. Commissioned by Shah Sulieman, it was built about 1669 (about A.H. 1081).
The garden, is visible at all times through the great arches, is an integral part of the structure.
The domed ceiling of the main reception room is painted in purple on a glittering gold base, while above the windows, in the lantern dome, fragments of mirror sparkle in the light.
Painting on the outer blind arches.
Painted tile designs of birds, animals, and hunting scenes, found on the spandrels of the outer blind arches, enliven the facades of the Hasht Behesht in Isfahan.
Hunting was a favorite pastime of the Shahs. Seven days before the court`s departure for a hunting trip the tents, rugs, gold services, and other prerequisites for the camp were sent off.
From five to seven thousand camels were needed to transport this equipage.
The splendor of these hunting camps may be judged from the fact that each nobleman was allotted some five hundred square feet for his tent. Under the silk-lined canopies were rooms for his harem, a bath, and a reception hall.
The interiors were carpeted, strewn with soft cushions and draped in shimmering brocades.
Pools and waterways adorned the site, and flowers blossomed in these (gardens for a day or two.)
The ceiling in a second floor reception room of the Hasht Behesht glistens with mirror decoration.
The Hasht Behesht enhanced Chardin, writing in 1676. (When one walks in this place expressly made for the delights of love, and when one passes through all these cabinets and niches, one`s heart is melted to such an extent that, to speak candidly, one always leaves with a very ill grace. The climate without doubt contributes much towards exciting this amorous disposition; but assuredly these places, although in some respects little more than cardboard castles, are nevertheless more smiling and agreeable than our most sumptuous palaces.)
The Bridge of Allahverdi Khan across the Zayandeh Rud is a continuation of Chahar Bagh, the principal street in Isfahan. Built at the beginning of the 17th century at the order of Shah Abbas, it is named after the general-a famous war- chief- who was put in charge of the work. It is also called the Bridge of 33 Arches, or Si-o-Se Pol.
It is 45 feet wide and 175 yards long but- although it is impressive looking- it does not have the same archaeological or aesthetic interest as the two other bridges farther downstream.
This bridge is located in the southern end of Chahar Bagh Avenue in Isfahan and was named after its founder. It is also known as Jolfa bridge.
The bridge is made of bricks and stones. It is 295 meters long and 13.75 meters wide. It is said that the bridge originally comprised 40 arches however this number gradually reduced to 33.
According to numerous historical references concerning the buildings constructed during Shah Abbas the Safavid in Isfahan, it is so conceived that the construction work of this bridge was completed concurrent with the construction of Chahar Bagh in 1596. This bridge is called Si-o-Se Pol (in Farsi meaning 33 bridges) because it embraces 33 arches.

Esfahan seems to be a true Iranian pearl! Good tips to share.
Excellent tips on the museum and your photo's were great
Esfahan is a beautiful town and I enjoyed my visit there very much!
I remember this long bridge and also the the mosaiks of the blue tiled mosques. But I also remember that in 1985 it was to impossible to phone abroad so I missed phoning my mum on her birthday.
Just for the museums I must go to Esfahan as well, and of course for the bridges :-)) Gaz sounds very much delicious, but I might get addicted, haha :-)

Vince luring Shane McMahon back
Rumors about backstage heat between Vince McMahon and Triple H are heating up as of late. There are reports floating around that Vince is trying to lure Shane McMahon back into WWE as a high ranking executive. Vince would then use Shane as leverage against HHH and Stephanie McMahon. For the longest time there, HHH and Stephanie were said to be taking over the company from Vince, so they gained a lot of power backstage from that.

WWE signs Superstar Billy Graham
Throughout the years, Superstar Billy Graham and WWE have had a roller coaster relationship. Things got heated at one point when Graham spoke out against Linda McMahon going into politics. The backstage heat appears to have been soothed over. Graham announced through social media that Triple H has offered him a legends contract to get back into the good graces of the company. Graham signed it.

Jake Roberts bashes sledgehammers
Earlier this week, Jake Roberts was a guest on the podcast show that Steve Austin does weekly. One of his comments might gain him some backstage heat with Triple H. Roberts vented on the show and stated that a heel using a sledgehammer as a weapon is a bad idea. The WWE legend states that doing so shows a lack of ring psychology, something that HHH takes a lot of pride in having.
September 23, 2015
Steve Austin backstage heat
Some further details have been revealed about the backstage heat between Vince McMahon and Steve Austin. Apparently, it all stems from questions that Austin asked Triple H when he former interviewed the latter. Some are saying that the question in regards to Chyna set off a chain reaction that eventually brought bad publicity to WWE. The issue between McMahon and Austin was so bad that the former world champion skipped Wrestlemania.

Arn Anderson buries CM Punk
As many of you have already heard, reports surfaced earlier this month that Shawn Michaels and Triple H were the ones that buried CM Punk in front of management backstage when the latter was doing a tryout for WWE. However, another name has surfaced within that group. It is being said that Arn Anderson was another person that was against Punk. The legendary Four Horsemen member has had backstage heat with Punk a couple of times.

Previous Loan DetailsMore from Anonymous's previous loan »
Additional Information
About VisionFund AzerCredit:Vision Fund AzerCredit was established in 1996 to provide credit to ensure people can take control over their own lives and livelihoods.
While VF AzerCredit works both in the urban and rural areas of Azerbaijan, the emphasis is placed on providing loans to micro and small rural entrepreneurs and self-employed poor, covering remote areas, which are not bankable.
AzerCredit provides group loans, agriculture loans and household and family loans for small and micro entrepreneurs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

ATI Graphics Driver Can Compiz
Four weeks ago, open source developers at AMD succeeded in running glxgears on R600/R700 GPUs for the first time. Now they've got Compiz also running on the Mesa driver.
As Phoronix reports, the feat takes AMD developers to another, greater milestone in the completion of free Radeon HD processors. With the current Mesa code and the DRM branch from Alex Deucher's repo, Compiz will run smoothly with Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 and Radeon HD 4000 graphics cards, writes Deucher on his blog.
The performance is not perfect, but with improvements expected soon, new versions of Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE and Ubuntu, scheduled this fall, could come with far better driver support for ATI cards.

We have given no-boil lasagne noodles as an alternative to fresh because regular dried lasagne noodles often have curly edges and are too thick.
Active time: 1 3/4 hr Start to finish: 3 1/2 hr
Leave a Review
Made this for Christmas Day dinner for 8 and everyone loved it. Despite the rich sauce and filling, it was relatively light. I doubled the recipe, and the active cooking added up to about 3 hours, but still worth the effort. Had plenty of sauce to serve at the table, and was able to share leftovers with guests. I added a half-pound of fresh lump blue crab just to add more depth of flavor and heft to the filling. (I felt a twinge of remorse about pureeing 2 pounds of beautiful sea scallops but I took the plunge.) I was a little worried about the texture of the filling once I'd processed all the seafood, sauce and cream but it turned out to be just fine. The shrimp stock was a revelation -- I live on an island where we get fresh shrimp off the boat, and I will never throw away shells again.
has anyone tried this recipe with manicotti?
Have anybody try to freeze it? I wonder if I can make it in advance and freeze for later..Thanks
Very very good, I also added about 4 oz of smoked cod to the mix to give more complexity to the seafood blend. The sauce is amazing, worth the steps. Added a bit of oyster sauce to this. Flat sheets of lasagna pasta fell apart a bit. Used a whole pack to get enough good ones but the weight and texture was light and right. Will be making again. A winner among my keepers and guests.
A lot of effort for the dish but mostly worth it. I added garlic and omitted cognac. I used larger pasta sheet and made less but bigger canneloni. I added some smoked cod and halidbut pieces to beef it up a bit as I wanted more chunks of seafood. I Used a hand blender directly in pot instead of taking out which worked well.
Thanks to reviewers who warned about the time involved to prepare this dish -- but it was worth it. Rave reviews at my dinner party of serious foodies Based on a couple of reviewers that felt the flavor was too bland, I did add a few threads of SAFFRON to the broth which gave a big flavor boost. I also did make my own pasta sheets from scratch (I know, right out of my mind), but would definitely consider store-bought fresh -- not the no-bake packaged stuff.
This was a LOT of prep work, but it was delicious! I forgot to add the heavy cream to the filling, and it was still good, so for those who want to reduce the guilt, that's one way. People raved about it being one of the greatest things they'd ever eaten. And they did think refer to them as crepes instead of cannelloni.
This recipe looks great! Just a tip for canneloni lovers. Try using fresh pasta sheets sold in the refrigerated section of your produce department. They are larger than wonton wrappers, no pre cooking, easy to use and bake up nice and tender. Just add your filling and roll.
Although time consuming, this was well worth the effort. I used my hand-blender to puree the sauce without mishap. I also used Catelli Express Oven-ready Cannoelloni. This significantly decreased the prep-time. I fill the cannelloni using a Zip-loc bag with a small hole cut in one corner; like a piping bag. My husband and I both agreed that this recipe is a keeper!
I made the recipe as written, except I substituted lobster buillion for the seafood glaze, as indicated by other reviewers, and I used half and half instead of heavy cream in an effort to cut the fat. I was a little afraid of making this on a weeknight after reading about the recipe being horribly involved, but though it did take maybe 3 hours from start to finish, it was easy. That said, it seemed that the dish lacked depth of flavor -- if I make it again, I'll add much more vegetables and garlic to the sauce; use the heavy cream the recipe calls for and add a lot of parmesan cheese.One more thing: some of the reviews compared the lasagne noodles to a crepe in this dish. I did not find this to be true at all. The lasagne noodles tasted like, well, lasagne noodles.

Re: Information
Hi Hasse
I trekked Upper Mustang in April Last year – Overall the weather was Good – One bad morning when it has snowed overnight at Ghami, but it soon cleared and by the time we crossed the first "La" of the day the sun had come out once more.
We camped about 50% of the time and stayed in rooms where available the other 50% of the time and it was warm enough so we didn't suffer whilst camping.
You don't say in your post whether it is Upper or Lower Mustang that you intend trekking in – It is Upper Mustang that is the expensive one of the two, you need a trekking Permit to go past Kagbeni and this costs500 per person for 10 days (It was700 last year when I did the trek !!)
The support team will work out at around1000 per person for the 10 days in Upper Mustang but that will include Everything - (apart from the permit and your transportation to Jomsom) – Guide, Cook, Cooks Boy and Porters, All your Food, Tented Accommodation and your staffs expenses in getting to Kagbeni and returning to Kathmandu.
The guy that organised my trek was Nirmal at HMA – I have No hesitation in recommending him to organise your own Upper Mustang Trek !! If you want to get in touch with hi then all his contact details are on my Nepal Travelogue entitled "A Very Important Decision"
I hope that helps a little but If you need more info then feel free to drop me another line
Good Luck and Happy Travels

Educators are developing a more sophisticated understanding
of not only learning, but how to assess it. Testing of
students as part of school district and state accountability
systems is now standard practice across the nation. Educators,
test developers and the public have an interest in ensuring
the tests don't just test "what's easy to measure," but
assess a student's understanding of important and complex
ideas. New techniques improve the quality of measurement
and technology, especially simulations, permitting educators
to gauge students' understanding of more complex concepts.
The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS),
conducted every four years to compare achievement of U.S.
elementary level students with those in other countries,
reveals that fourth-grade students in the United States outperform
some of their international counterparts at answering a combination
of fact-based and theoretical questions. Middle school students
in the United States, however, do not fare as well internationally.
Results of a new TIMSS study, released in December 2004,
provide U.S. educators and policymakers with information
to guide how U.S. math and science education programs might
be structured to address future needs.
A recent National Research Council synthesis of research
identifying promising new directions in assessing student
learning was published in their report, Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Educational Assessment (2001). (link) Commissioned by NSF, the report reviews
current knowledge about assessments in the classroom and
in district or larger-scale settings. The report calls for
establishing a foundation to emphasize how knowledge is represented,
organized and intellectually processed, as well as social
practices that support knowing and understanding. It describes
the state-of-the-art in assessments and recommends new directions
for research, policy and practice.
Entirely new assessments are being created for college-level
students in mathematics, science and engineering. For example,
researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have
developed a student assessment for college chemistry that
integrates the big ideas of chemistry into a single framework.
It provides a basis for judging student achievement and identifying
How does technology
affect learning? [Next]

What is spumoni? When talking about what is spumoni, one could be talking about one of two things. First off, spumoni is traditionally an Italian ice cream composed of three different colors, each color being a different flavor. Secondly, when asking what is Spumoni, one could be talking about the amazing Spumoni Italian cafe and pizzeria. Spumoni' has several locations in the greater Los Angeles area.

In theory, moiré should be a frequent problem with the Nikon D800E, since it lacks a conventional optical low pass filter (OLPF).
In practice, moiré does not occur very often with the D800E, and even the D800 shows moiré under similar circumstances.
The example on this page shows a scenario chosen to provide moiré. Even so, various other lenses on this same test scene did NOT show the moiré patterns shown here, which seem to be a worst-case scenario, or close to it.
Provoking moiré with the D800E requires a precise spatial frequency on the stonework with the thin vertical grooves to provoke the problem. In short, it required some effort to find an example this obvious. Had the camera been slightly farther away, the problem would likely disappear, as it would alter the spatial frequency of the details on the sensor.
