Geoff Apps has been building and riding his own distinctive cross country cycles since the late 1960s. Unlike the members of the Rough Stuff Fellowship, who traditionally used touring or road bikes, Geoff's designs come from his background in motorbike trials (previously). After more than twenty years off the market, his latest design will soon go into production: the Cleland AventuraTT.

How to place and cement ten lower porcelain teeth veneers pictures. The upper ten porcelain dental veneers are already on. It is worthwhile to confirm the fit of each tooth veneer to the master dies and carefully separate them before placement in the mouth. It is very easy to confuse one with another and you only have about ten seconds before the dental bonding cement hardens!!
A simple method for how to make provisional temporary teeth veneers. You can use a clear acrylic stent that is relined with Luxatemp or you can just place the Luxatemp in the starting alginate impression that was made before teeth preparation. Luxatemp does not cure exothermically so it can be allowed to harden on the teeth without concern to the teeth nerves - root canal. The second photo shows half of the temporary teeth veneers removed.
The "Bobbi" porcelain veneers method involves the fabrication of the teeth veneers on a master model BEFORE preparation of the actual teeth. This allows the tooth preparation and final porcelain dental veneers to be completed in a one-hour visit. 1) Pre-op view showing traumatic fracture - a broken tooth - of a porcelain veneer on tooth #8. 2) The tooth veneer preparation - drilling - is first made on the master model. 3) The porcelain dental veneer is fabricated on this master model. 4) Tooth preparation. 5) Initial seating of the porcelain veneer. 6) Etch with 37% phosphoric acid. 7) Vaseline placed on labial surface during seating to prevent dental bonding material from adhering to the labial surface of the porcelain. 8) Final result. The main drawback to this technique is having confidence that your preparation on the tooth will closely match that performed on the master model. Otherwise, the dentist will be faced with double lab charges if the teeth veneers do not fit. Note this technique can be performed only for porcelain teeth veneers where the expectation of marginal fit is not as high as for porcelain fused to metal dental crowns and this discrepancy is compensated for with the dental bonding system used for adhesion.
Porcelain laminate tooth veneer failure on an upper left canine. Notice the edge-to-edge occlusion bite in this area and that the original dental laminate did not wrap around to the palatal surface of the tooth. When correcting a cross bite with porcelain teeth laminates the dentist should create extra mechanical retention in the tooth preparation to help reduce sheer stresses on the dental bonding cement.
Four Maxillary Porcelain Teeth Veneers on a Master Model from the Dental Laboratory. The tooth preparation - drilling - extends to the interproximal area to hide the cement line. The gingival margin - gum line - preparation needs to be very obvious to the technician. The teeth impression should extend into the gingival sulcus. Try to create a positive seat in the preparation so the porcelain dental veneers won't slip during cementation.

The High Cost of Cheaper Food
BYLINE: Jonathan Crush
Undernutrition is well recognised as a crisis in developing countries, but a second "silent emergency" - obesity - now poses a major threat to public health in countries experiencing rapid urbanisation such as South Africa. While obesity was once associated with rising incomes and industrialised societies, this is no longer the case. Modern urban diets, characterised by cheap carbohydrates and sugar, affect mostly the poor in the context of massive rural-urban migration.
Given the speed of urbanisation and the considerable population growth expected in the cities of the developing world over the coming decades - some three billion by mid-century - the burden of disease related to obesity and undernutrition threatens to overwhelm the capacity of the health care system and other social services in many countries.
Obesity is about far more than simply over-eating. In many urban food markets, the industrial food processing and supply system has replaced traditionally nutritious foods that are still available in many rural areas with nutritionally inferior but energy-dense and cheaper food and drink.
As well as being nutritionally poor, these cheaper foods typically comprise highly refined, low-fibre cereals, fats and sugar. This diet is associated with many non-infectious health conditions and diseases, and the burden is increasingly being carried by the urban poor.
In the urban context, food accessibility and dietary quality are the critical determinants of household and individual nutritional status. A recent baseline food security survey by the African Food Security Urban Network (Afsun) in 11 cities in nine southern African countries showed that three-quarters of households in poor urban areas were food insecure. While less than 10 percent of households reported that they often experienced an absolute shortage of food or often went hungry, many ate smaller or fewer meals a day.
They said they often did not eat their preferred diet, ate food that they did not like and food that lacked diversity. In other words, problems of nutrition in the urban context may be as much about what people can afford to eat as how much they can eat.
In cities, income is a critical determinant of food accessibility. While increases in income do, in general, result in greater spending on food, whether this increased spending improves nutritional status among poorer urban households is a question that has not been adequately addressed and needs further research.
The levels of food processing and convenience foods that prevail in urban food markets mean that greater diversity may not result in improvements in nutritional quality and may even result in a deterioration of nutritional status. There has been a substantial rise in sales of ready-made meals and other processed foods in South Africa's cities and towns in the past decade. Also, supermarkets in low-income urban areas tend to stock less fresh produce than their counterparts in other parts of the city.
Studies have shown that lower-calorie and nutrient-dense foods such as fruits and vegetables generally do cost more, and that cost is a barrier to the urban poor. Less healthy versions of particular foodstuffs also tend to cost less. A study of food prices in 14 small towns in the Western Cape, published in the journal Nutrition in 2011, compared the prices of six commonly consumed foods with healthier versions of those foods (for example, wholewheat bread versus white bread).
Healthier foods cost between 10 percent and 60 percent more when compared on a weight basis, and between 30 percent and 110 percent more when compared based on the cost of food energy. For a household of five, the increased expenditure of a healthier diet would be more than R12 000 a year, a high proportion of total household income for most of the population.
While under-weight people are generally malnourished in a developing world context, it is also possible for over-weight and obese people, who rely on a diet of refined carbohydrates, fats and sugar, to be malnourished. …

Sophomore Bianka Balthazar had a team-high 16 points and four steals in a 68-62 loss at UC Davis.
Jan. 31, 2013
49ers' Breast Cancer Awareness Night (Feb. 9)
DAVIS, Calif. - In a seesaw battle that saw 15 lead changes and 12 tie scores, it was UC Davis that prevailed in the end, defeating Long Beach State, 68-62, Thursday evening at The Pavilion.
LBSU (11-9, 4-4 Big West) outrebounded UCD, 45-37. Sophomore Devin Hudson led the way with a team-high 14 boards, while classmate Ella Clark finished with seven.
The 49ers also shot 36.5 percent from the floor and were 30.8 percent from behind the arc. Sophomore Bianka Balthazar registered a team-best 16 points on a 6-of-14 shooting performance and added four steals. Clark, Hudson and senior Mary Ochiltree had nine points apiece, and sophomore Alex Sanchez chipped in eight points and six assists.
Long Beach State got on the board first as Ochiltree made 1-of-2 free throws, but UC Davis proceeded to take a 6-1 lead at the 18-minute mark. The 49ers came back to tie it up at 6-6 on a Balthazar 3-pointer before the Aggies used an 8-4 spurt to pull ahead, 14-10. LBSU then scored five unanswered to hold a 15-14 advantage with 13:01 to go.
UC Davis (9-10, 4-4 Big West) went back on top, 19-15, but the 49ers responded with an 11-0 run, capped by a Sanchez jumper at the 7:55 mark, to take their largest lead of the half at 26-19. Long Beach State stayed out front until back-to-back 3-pointers from Cortney French put the home team up, 32-31, with 2:11 remaining.
UCD pulled ahead by three, but LBSU closed out the half on a 4-0 sprint to own a narrow 35-34 edge at the break.
LBSU shot 46.7 percent from the floor in the first period and was led by Balthazar's nine points.
The Aggies made a pair of free throws on their first possession of the second half, but the 49ers quickly came back with a 7-2 spurt to go up, 42-38, at the 17:00 mark. UC Davis regained the lead at 44-42 and the two teams then traded points before LBSU went on a 10-0 run to go up, 56-49, with 7:12 remaining.
UC Davis would turn the tides with a 9-0 sprint of its own, pulling ahead 58-56. A 3-pointer from Balthazar ended a three-plus minute scoring drought for the 49ers, giving them a one-point advantage (59-58) with 3:50 on the clock, but the Aggies answered with a layup by Sydnee Fipps. After Hudson knotted it back up at 60-60 with a free throw, UCD took the lead for good, outscoring LBSU, 8-2, down the stretch for the 68-62 victory.
Fipps finished with a career-high 29 points, while French chipped in 17 for UC Davis.
Long Beach State is back in action on Saturday, Feb. 2, when it heads to Stockton, Calif., for a 5 p.m. Big West showdown against conference-leading Pacific. Tip-off is slated for 5 p.m. at Alex G. Spanos Center.

Wellspring's Slate Continues to Grow, Company Acquires Israeli Hit "Nina's Tragedies"
by Eugene Hernandez
New York based Wellspring has acquired another film for its growing release slate of new titles. The company secured North American rights to Savi Gabizon's "Nina's Tragedies," the acclaimed Israeli film that won 11 Israeli Academy Awards and was the top film at the box office in that country last year. It was also selected as the country's official entry to the recent Academy Awards. The film was an award winner at the Jerusalem Film Festival and had its U.S. premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this year.
"Nina's Tragedies" is described as "the story of a turbulent year in the life of a family living in modern day Tel-Aviv as filtered through the eyes of a sensitive teenage boy who is smitten with his captivating Aunt Nina."
Wellspring's Guirgis and the company's manager of acquisitions Rob Williams negotiated the deal with the film's producer Anat Assoulin and producer/director Savi Gabizon. Head of theatrical distribution Ryan Werner told indieWIRE Tuesday that the company will pursue an early 2005 release of the film to capitalize on many of the Jewish film festivals that take place in the fall.
"Savi Gabizon shows that there is room for grace and humor amidst the sadness and conflict of daily life in Israel," said Guirgis in a prepared statement. "The success he's had in his native country is a testament to his talent and we are really confident that the American audience is going to love his work."
Guirgis told indieWIRE that the company has increased the scope and number of acquisitions since Wellspring was acquired by American Vantage Media in February. She indicated that Wellspring will release about 10 films this year, up from six in 2003. She added that the goal moving forward is for the company's expanded theatrical distribution division, headed by Werner, could handle an average of 12 movies per year.
Over the past weekend, Wellspring announced a unique pact for Jonathan Caouette's "Tarnation." The company has come on board as a co-producer of the movie and with a worldwide rights deal to work with the movie via its many divisions, including international sales, and of course domestic theatrical distribution. Other recent acquisitions include Jean-Francois Pouliot's "Seducing Doctor Lewis," Cedric Kahn's "Red Lights," Marco Bellocchio's "Good Morning, Night," and Anne Fontaine's "Nathalie." Other upcoming releases include Andre Techine's "Strayed" and Alexander Sokurov's "Father and Son." Wellspring opened Bruno Dumont's "Twentynine Palms" this past weekend.
"I think that there's a wider range," Guirgis said, noting recent acquisitions "Seducing Dr. Lewis" and "Tarnation. "We love them both, (but) in the past, for a variety of reasons, we weren't able to release as wide a range of films -- because certain films require more P&A than others (and) certain films require more creative and slightly more expensive deals to acquire them."
Looking ahead towards Cannes, Guirgis said that Wellspring is hopeful about several prospects and added that she and Werner have worked to establish their new identity within the international community.
"All of the international sellers that we know are aware that we've grown," said Guirgis. "What's clear, I hope, is that we are always going to release very good films. [Now] we have the opportunity to be a little more competitive on films that we weren't able to compete on in the past."

Women's Monasticism and Medieval Society: Nunneries in France and England, 890-1215
By Bruce L. Venarde
A substantial contribution to the ongoing debate about government participation in the delivery of medical care, this volume offers historical, cross-national comparisons of the performance of medical systems in Britain, France, Sweden, and the US over most of the last century. At a time when many call for "privatization," the findings and data analyses strongly suggest that the role of state intervention has been, by and large, a positive one.

And who says Jimbo is interested?
I wouldn't be surprised if he was, I was always confused as to why Bowden hired him to begin with. They think very differently.
Phillip Marshall, respected journalist of Auburn Undercover has said countless times that Jimbo is at least interested.
And let's say we're willing to go $6 million a year, not including bonuses or incentives, which would effectively make our coach the highest paid coach as Saban makes around $5.5 million before incentives/bonuses. How many coaches can you name that would be a bigger-name hire than Jimbo with at least the experience and success that he has that would have any chance of being interested in coming to Auburn, i.e. not guys like Saban or Spurrier who are highly improbable to want to go anywhere?

Overview: Cloud business continuity and database disaster recovery with SQL Database
Business continuity is about designing, deploying, and running applications in a way that is resilient to planned or unplanned disruptive events that result in permanent or temporary loss of the application's ability to conduct its business function. Unplanned events range from human errors to permanent or temporary outages to regional disasters that could cause wide scale loss of facility in a particular Azure region. The planned events include application redeployment to a different region and application upgrades. The goal of business continuity is for your application to continue to function during these events with minimal impact on the business function.
To discuss cloud business continuity solutions there are several concepts you need be familiar with:
Disaster recovery (DR): a process of restoring the normal business function of the application
Estimated Recovery Time (ERT): The estimated duration for the database to be fully available after a restore or failover request.
Recovery time objective (RTO): The maximum acceptable time before the application fully recovers after the disruptive event. RTO measures the maximum loss of availability during the failures.
Recovery point objective (RPO): The maximum amount of last updates (time interval) the application can lose by the moment it fully recovers after the disruptive event. RPO measures the maximum loss of data during the failures.
Cloud business continuity scenarios
Following are key scenarios to consider when planning for business continuity and database recovery.
Design applications for business continuity
The application I am building is critical for my business. I want to design and configure it to be able to survive a regional disaster of catastrophic failure of the service. I know the RPO and RTO requirements for my application and will choose the configuration that meets these requirements.
Recover from human error
I have administrative rights to access the production version of the application. As part of regular maintenance process I made a mistake and deleted some critical data in production. I want to quickly restore the data in order to mitigate the impact of the error.
Recover from an outage
I am running my application in production and receive an alert suggesting that there is a major outage in the region it is deployed in. I want to initiate the recovery process to bring it back in a different region to mitigate the impact on the business.
Perform disaster recovery drill
Because the recovery from an outage will relocate the application's data tier to a different region I want to periodically test the recovery process and evaluate its impact on the application to stay prepared.
Application upgrade without downtime
I am releasing a major upgrade of my application. It involves the database schema changes, deployment of additional stored procs etc. This process will require stopping user access to the database. At the same I want to make sure the upgrade does not cause a significant disruption of the business operations.
Business continuity features
The following table shows the differences of the cloud business continuity features across the service tiers:
|Basic tier
|Standard tier
|Premium tier
|Point In Time Restore
|Any restore point within 7 days
|Any restore point within 14 days
|Any restore point within 35 days
|ERT < 12h, RPO < 1h
|ERT < 12h, RPO < 1h
|ERT < 12h, RPO < 1h
|Active Geo-Replication
|ERT < 30s, RPO < 5s
|ERT < 30s, RPO < 5s
|ERT < 30s, RPO < 5s
These features are provided to address the scenarios listed earlier. Please refer to the Design for business continuity section for guidance how to select the specific feature.
The ERT and RPO values are engineering goals and provide guidance only. They are not part of SLA for SQL Database
Point In Time Restore
Point In Time Restore is designed to return your database to an earlier point in time. It uses the database backups, incremental backups and transaction log backups that the service automatically maintains for every user database. This capability is available for all service tiers. You can go back 7 days with Basic, 14 days with Standard, and 35 days with Premium. Refer to Recover from human error for details of how to use Point In Time Restore.
Geo-Restore is also available with Basic, Standard, and Premium databases. It provides the default recovery option when also database is unavailable because of an incident in the region where your database is hosted. Similar to Point In Time Restore, Geo-Restore relies on database backups in geo-redundant Azure storage. It restores from the geo-replicated backup copy and therefore is resilient to the storage outages in the primary region. Refer to Recover from an outage for details of how to use Geo-Restore.
Active Geo-Replication
Active Geo-Replication is available for all database tiers. It's designed for applications that have more aggressive recovery requirements than Geo-Restore can offer. Using Active Geo-Replication, you can create up to four readable secondaries on servers in different regions. You can initiate failover to any of the secondaries. In addition, Active Geo-Replication can be used to support the application upgrade or relocation scenarios, as well as load balancing for read-only workloads. Refer to Design for business continuity for details on how to configure Geo-Replication and to failover to the secondary database. Refer to Application upgrade without downtime for details on how to implement the application upgrade without downtime.

Sunday's procession comes a day after more than 50,000 mourners marched through Qamishli to mourn prominent opposition figure Mashaal Tammo. Security forces fired into the crowds, killing five people.
Tammo was assassinated Friday.
The turnout Saturday was by far the largest in the Kurdish northeast since the start of the uprising against President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime seven months ago.

Colonization and Its Discontents: Emancipation, Emigration, and Antislavery in Antebellum Pennsylvania
Soderlund, Jean R., The Historian
Colonization and Its Discontents: Emancipation, Emigration, and Antislavery in Antebellum Pennsylvania. By Beverly C. Tomek. (New York, NY: New York University Press, 2012. Pp. xxiii, 296. $65.00.)
Pennsylvania has received significant attention as the center of Quaker opposition to slavery during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and as the first government, in 1780, to enact a gradual abolition law. The colony/state had a record of reform that was both moderate and earlier than elsewhere in North America. Individuals who wanted an immediate end to slavery on the basis of its immorality and injustice, including Quakers William Southeby, John Woolman, and Anthony Benezet, had to settle for the more gradual approach of patient lobbying and publication that eventually swayed their more conservative colleagues in the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and the Pennsylvania legislature.
Beverly C. Tomek offers an interesting analysis of antislavery movements in Pennsylvania, starting with the development of opposition to slavery among Friends then focusing more intensely on the Pennsylvania Colonization Society (PCS) and its relationships with other antislavery organizations during the early nineteenth century. She argues that other historians have been remiss in discounting the PCS's work against involuntary bondage, contending instead that the society's goals were more humanitarian than its parent, the American Colonization Society (ACS). Tomek offers evidence that the PCS shared some members with the Pennsylvania Abolition Society (PAS), which had acted strenuously to enforce and expand the powers of the gradual abolition act during the late eighteenth century but took a less vigorous role particularly in comparison with the stances of African American leaders in Philadelphia and the Garrisonian Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. …

Hi looked at yr very good pics& tips sev times b4,this time a note - yes Rissani is a lot more conservative&most women have to at least cover with jellabas and a head scarf esp the Berber women but its still not a high majority must cover their faces.
Fantastic pictures and interesting tips. Repression of the Moroccan women? Well, probably most visitors can't see Moroccan family life but I've seen from my hotel balcony once :-)
an excellent page & great pics, Phil , ohh I mean Max ! - good to see Rissani looks rather the same since I left it 15 years ago...
Well may you ask what is the reason. But what a fascinating place.
Rissani seems much more conservative than other Moroccan communities that I visited such as Marrakesh or Rabat. A very interesting page.
Fascinating. Morocco is high on the list of places I want to visit.
From another supporter/lover of Islamic design & architecture, sexual equality and other cultural matters, you've spoken my entire platform. What are your rates?
Great to see you RECENT pictures of Rissani after 30 years!!

Dinner and a Movie: 'A Christmas Story" and Chinese food
Christmas movies are as big a part of the holiday season as twinkling lights and elves that go jingle in the night.
The choices are broad and span generations. I grew up watching as many versions of "A Christmas Carol" as I could, whether it star Reginald Sim, Albert Finney, Mr. Magoo or The Fonz.
"Miracle on 34th Street," and a fleet of animated specials supplemented Scrooge, and in the years that followed "It's a Wonderful Life," "Prancer," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "The Santa Clause," "Scrooged," "Love, Actually," and "Elf" have joined the can't-miss list.
But "A Christmas Story" is the holiday classic with which I share the most history. It took many years and dozens of viewings for me to realize the film not only one of the best Christmas films ever made, but also serves as a conduit to a craving for Chinese food.
Thus, it's the perfect fit for Dinner and a Movie.
I don't have vivid memories of Thanksgiving 1983, but I can promise my thoughts were squarely a month ahead. Not to Christmas but the day after, which would've been my 16th birthday and the promise of freedom only a driver's license can offer.
So, it's easy to understand how I missed the birth of "A Christmas Story" in theaters around the country.
Based on the stories of Jean Shepherd, the Bob Clark film starred Peter Billingsley as Ralphie, who has become as synonymous with the holiday as Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. By the time I turned 16, Ralphie's theater-run was all but over. The low-budget filmed performed modestly enough for handshakes all around but no allusions of grandeur for its legacy.
None of the cast would use the film as a springboard to super stardom. Clark, who built his career on some surprise hits filmed in Canada, including the first two "Porky's" films, would go on to film such canonical titles at "Turk 182," "Rhinestone," "Baby Geniuses," and the unforgettably unforgiveable "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2."
"A Christmas Story" built enough of an audience during its 1985 run on HBO that superstations WTBS and WGN plus fledgling Fox picked it up for a Thanksgiving run that lasted from 1988 until Ted Turner bought the MGM library in the early 1990s.
Starting in 1995, TBS, TNT and TCM played badminton with the film between Christmas Eve and my birthday. When TNT ran its first 24 hours of "A Christmas Story" event, my son Luke was celebrating his first Christmas as a two-month old.
Ralphie, The Old Man, the Red Ryder BB gun, the Bumpass hounds and, of course, Skut Farkas have been a part of Luke and my daughter's every Christmas. They, along with a little more than 4 million people per year watch the film on Christmas Eve. By the time the season is over, the number of folks who will laugh again when Flick gets double-dog-dared into a fateful face-off with a frozen poll will be five times that number.
Through the years, the film has been a seasonal conversation point with friends and family. Swapping favorite scenes is as common as swapping gifts: What's funnier than Darren McGavin's misunderstanding of the Italian language? Randy eating dinner like a good little piggy? Perhaps Aunt Clara's gift to Ralphie? For me, the best part of the film followed the Bumpass-hounds' attack on the family's Christmas bird. Accompanied by a makeshift Harrerujah Chorus at the Chop Suey Palace, the Parkers feast on "Chinese Turkey" — that is after some heady table-side butchering.
As hilarious as the scene was then and remains today, I never realized just how much it put me in the mood for Chinese take-out-style food until a few years ago. Then last year, I took the first step: admitting the truth.
Thanks to Ken Hom's "Complete Chinese Cookbook" (BBC Books, 2011), I was able to make a nice version of Sweet and Sour Chicken with some fried rice to accompany our annual viewing.
And what to my wondering eyes did appear this year to help continue the tradition but Diana Kuan's "The Chinese Takeout Cookbook" and I've graduated to General Tso's Chicken and Egg Foo Young.
As my family's annual screening of "A Christmas Story" moves closer to a Chinese buffet, here's a couple of recipes for those inclined to wield a wok.
Next year, perhaps I'll attempt some Peking Duck — head to be determined.
General Tso's Chicken
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1-inch cubes
1½ cups cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups peanut or vegetable oil for frying, plus 1 tablespoon for stir-frying
6 dried whole chiles de arbol
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds
Six green onions thinly sliced
1 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
2 egg whites
¼ cup chicken stock
1½ tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, egg whites then add the chicken. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chicken stock, tomato paste, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sambal, sesame oil, sugar, and the 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir until the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
In a large bowl, toss the 1½ cups cornstarch with the salt and pepper. Coat the marinated chicken in the cornstarch and shake off any excess before frying.
Heat the 3 cups of peanut or vegetable oil in a heated wok to 350 degrees on an instant-read oil thermometer. Working in 2 or 3 batches, add the first batch of chicken cubes and fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
Drain the oil into a heatproof container and save for discarding. Wipe the wok with a paper towel to remove any brown bits, but don't wash.
Reheat the wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add another 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the base and sides. Add the dried chilis and garlic to the wok and stir-fry until just fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Return the chicken to the wok and stir well to coat with sauce. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Garnish with white sesame seeds and green onions.
Serve with steamed white or fried rice.

Egg Foo Young
For the Gravy
¾ cup chicken stock
1½ teaspoons soy sauce
1½ hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water
For the pancakes
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 or 4 shiitake or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced
5 green onions, whites and greens separated
1½ cups bean sprouts
¼ chopped Chinese-style sausage (available at Chinatown Supermarket and Super Cao Nguyen Market
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil or chili oil
6 eggs
Make the gravy first, by heating a small saucepan and bringing the chicken stock to a boil in it. Reduce to a simmer, and stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch slurry. Simmer another minute until the sauce thickens. Keep warm on lowest heat and cover. You might need to kill the heat completely from time to time as you make the rest.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat about about a minute. To test, flick a bead of water on the surface. If it evaporates immediately, the wok is ready.
Add a tablespoon of peanut oil and swirl the wok so the bottom is coated. Add the mushrooms, onion whites, and bean sprouts and stir-fry until the mushrooms and sprouts soften and the onions are fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the sausage and combine thoroughly. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame or chili oil and cook another minute, making sure the sauce is evenly distributed. Remove from heat and place in a cool bowl. Let stand until mixture has cooled enough to add the eggs without cooking them.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl with a little water and stir in the cooled vegetables and sausage.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok over medium heat. Working in batches, ladle a ¼ cup of the egg mixture in the wok and let spread into pancake shape. Cook until eggs have set, flipping once, no more than 2 minutes.
Transfer the finished eggs to a warmed plate and cover. Repeat until the mixture is exhausted, adding more oil to the wok as necessary.
Drizzle the eggs with gravy or serve it on the side. Garnish with remaining green onion.

I am trying to make a calibre extraction of the R+C+CC parasitics and I am getting some strange results. The layout is DRC and LVS clean and when I extract the layout without parasitics, my simulations work well. When I extract C+CC it also works well, but then when I include the R parasitics, the simulation starts to behave strange.
To try to simplify and detect the problem, I only extracted one of the 2 nodes that are generating problems. The circuit contains 2 "pseudoresistor" connected in series, that is, 2 PMOS transistors with the BULK and SOURCE shorted. I have extracted the R parasitics (no cap) in the middle node.What is strange is that when I extract the R parasitics without any kind of parasitic reduction, the simulation of the cicuits does not work. But when I perform some reduction by combining several series resistor, the simulation works well.
I do not understand what is going on. It seems the problem is from Spectre, because the netlists for both cases seem correct to me. Please see the relevan extract of my netlist:

For me the 2 circuits should simulate in the same way because the only difference is the combination of resistors in series. But how to make sure that it is a problem of my circuit or a problem of spectre?
Have someone seen something like that before?
Thanks and best regards,
It's fairly unlikely to be spectre, but one possibility might be that your circuit has multiple stable operating points - and it may be rolling into one or other depending on a slight change in starting conditions. I've seen that often as a root cause of such unexpected behaviour.
The best thing would be to provide the entire data to customer support so that an AE can take a look.
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
Hi Andrew,
I have checked for multiple operating points and I have not detected any problem. The circuit only have one operating point, but it is wrong after the extraction.
However, my circuit is sensitive to leakage current in the 2 transistors. As these transistor are implementing a very big resistor in the order of the TOhm, then any small current flowing through the transistors can cause a large voltage drop. I have put gmin=0 to have a more accurate simulation.
When I increase the gmin to 1e-12 (default value), my simulation works again. So, my simulation works either for a "big" gmin or for bigger parasitic resistors (obtained after combining several small resistors).
So, my questions are: Is the leakage current of the transistors not well modeled in the schematic? How does the leakage current change with the parasitic resistors? Is there a gmax value specified somewhere that depends on the gmin?
In reply to whlinfei:
Hi Linfei,
I was not able to solve this issue and it is still a mistery for me. I asked many experts around and they were also surprised with that.
I am still interested to solve this problem because I am facing it again, so if you have any news please let me know.
Best regards,

I want to install two electric baseboard heaters in my basement. I have already run 12-2 from my panel to the thermostat and 12-2 to a junction box. From the j-box I ran seperate lines to each location where I want to put the heaters. I am using 20 amp double pole breaker and plan on wiring at 220volts. I want to put a 6 foot heater and an 8 foot heater totaling around 3300 watts so I believe that I am well under the max amount of watts. My question is this, right where I want to install the 8 foot heater is where I plan on putting my computer work station. If I notch out the leg of the work station to allow for baseboard heater How much clearance do I need for heater? Thanks
- Forum >

- Baseboard heater
You probably need a lot of clearance if is a resistance heater,in any case check with the manufacturer. There are more efficient heaters with oil filled elements which don't get as hot. Also you have to be careful with your power cords. Permanent electric baseboard heat may not be located under wall receptacles. You may have to install a recptacle kit in the baseboard to meet the code requirements.

As a friend to the stars, Yoggl has no trouble securing access to the hottest events of the winter season, and last month he introduced the YOG on the Road team to some of the top riders on the circuit at the World Cup Snowboard Half Pipe in Saas Fee.
Up-and-coming US boarder Benjamin Farrow, who was joined by a friend who will be competing in Innsbruck next January, told us what he thinks it takes to be the best. Swiss star Ursina Haller shared her tricks of the trade and the men's winner Iouri Podladtchikov didn't want to let go of his Yoggl mascot.
We also caught up with some of the die-hard fans who endured the windy conditions to cheer on their favourite boarders and who were happy to help spread the YOG word!
Next stop on the YOG on the Road tour... Davos, for the World Cup Cross-Country event.

SuperSport duo to miss Cairo trip
SuperSport United would be without duo Sibusiso Zuma and Prince Hlela when they travel to Cairo to face Enppi in the Orange Caf Champions League on Friday.
Zuma was SuperSport's hero in the previous round as he bagged a brace against Petro Atletico of Luanda to send his side through.
The South African side is expected to take off from Johanesburg on Tuesday ahead of the game which takes place at the Air Defence Stadium in Cairo.
The match would be played behind closed doors after a new an on spectators at games in the country was recently imposed by the country's security officials.
The second leg would be played on May 4 in Atteridgeville.

Internship Opportunities
Internships are building blocks of a career. In many cases they have become an implicit prerequisite for an entry-level job. Internships are the source of much practical training and office experience that employers seek. Employers want to be sure that potential hires understand the demands of the contemporary workplace and are not under the impression that the sometimes more relaxed deadlines of academic life apply in work situations.
Researching internships should be approached as seriously as searching for a relatively permanent position. You will be trading a precious commodity—your time—for valuable training in return for either no remuneration or (if you are lucky) a modest stipend. You want to make sure you choose to work in an environment where your supervisors truly care about your growth and professional development.
Internships can provide skills training and other valuable learning that one cannot acquire in the classroom. Actual work situations in the fields of international education, exchange, and development may be quite different from what you imagine, and the introduction an internship can provide to the daily tasks involved in a given job or organization is invaluable.
Certain career websites that we have come across warn students that some internships are arranged only "for the benefit of the employer" and may not offer any useful or pertinent experiences. One such website goes so far as to say that unless an internship provides a valuable learning experience, such as skills training or exposure to a specific business culture,

Take a deep breath in the Arc'teryx Women's Mentum Comp Shirt. You have all the room you need to breathe, move, stretch, run, and climb in this highly versatile top. It's shaped to graze your body in a flattering way, but it's not tight either. And thanks to plenty of built-in mechanical stretch, you can move any way your muscles will let you. Light, airy Crystalis fabric keeps skin cool and dry, while Helius panels at the back and hips boost durability under pack straps and hip-belts. A pretty overlapping sleeve design adds the little feminine touch you like.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
This fabric is super lightweight and breathable. It's awesome for the searing summer temps over here in Utah. The fit is nice, and the fact that it provides UPF sun protection is a total plus.
The fabric is much thinner than you would expect from the pictures, which is great for hot-weather activities. You can actually see the pores in the material, which lends some serious wicking action to this fabric.
Highly stylized fit
For me, someone who is built like a stick, Arc'Teryx is a hit and miss, and most of the time a miss, in terms of fit. The brand is really built for women with very defined curves (well endowed at the chest, and big powerful hips), for most cases - just look at the female model they use on their website. And this shirt is no exception. I also don't like the highly stylized sleeve. It's hard to describe, but there is a overlap on the outside of the sleeves that I know it's good for ventilation but just doesn't look right - again take a look at the Arc'Teryx website pictures. Also it's definitely a slightly more relaxed fit. I got my usual size, along with Motus crew. I kept the Motus which has a slimmer fit and sent this one back.
What I do like about this shirt is the material - they used 2 different material, one for the shoulders and hips, which feel a bit more durable than the one used for the body - good for carry a pack. Also this shirt has a UPF 50 rating, which is awesome!! I can't understand why so many athletic shirts out there either have no sun protection, or do not show a UPF rating! If I'm out all day with sunscreen on bare skin, I definitely don't want to worry about whether I'll get burned under the shirt or not!! Please all the outdoor companies, UPF shouldn't be a luxury, it should be mandatory. And anything under UPF30 is pretty useless.

Quick Summary:
This Store offer is issued by Comenity Bank. This card is intended for consumers, or "personal use" with poor or limited credit histories. The issuer may expect recent or past flaws in your credit report. APR's may vary among applicants, however the lowest standard APR is 25.99%* Fixed.
Important Rates:
There is not an introductory APR for this card, so the lowest or standard rate may apply immediately or after the grace period for eligible purchases. There is no annual fee for this card.*
This is not a rewards card. It is normal for cards for fair and poor credit histories to not offer rewards.
Credit Record Needed:
Based on the FICO score recommendation, applicants should have a recently clean credit record, with no recent negative marks on their report. However the card issuer may expect limited discrepancies. A FICO credit score of 619 is recommended for a higher chance of approval, but this is not required. There are a number of other factors that this issuer may also consider when making decisions for approval. While your FICO score is usually a very important factor, you may want to consider other areas that may affect a decision for approval. For example, your debt to income ratio, recent credit inquiries, 30+ day delinquencies, or current credit accounts nearing the maximum amount may affect a credit decision.
FICO scores/credit scores are used to represent the creditworthiness of a person and may be one indicator to the credit type you are eligible for. However, a credit score alone does not guarantee or imply approval for any Comenity Bank product.
Other Basics:
The grace period listed for the Newegg.com Preferred Account is at least 25 days*. So interest charges will not be applied for new purchases during this time.
This is a store or catalog card, not a traditional credit card. Acceptance of this card is normally bound to the merchandiser.
Approval Rate:
There were 8 people that reported their status to us after they applied. They provided us with helpful qualification information, including their credit scores, the rates offered to them, household income and more. 25% of those applicants were approved.
This card has a very poor approval or acceptance rate. This could be due to the fact that applicants changed their decision after wanting a traditional credit card such as a Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card or American Express card. Furthermore, if your FICO score is close to or higher than 619, then your chance of approval may be even greater.
Approval Time:
Great news for applicants that do not want to wait on a application status. This card offer may give instant approval decisions. Remember, this may not be true in all cases, where application information may not be complete, questionable or for other reasons. When applying on-line, the system will normally show your approval status shortly after submitting your application. Credit cards normally take 1 or 2 weeks to arrive after your application is approved.
Community Opinion:
Based on community reviews, we found that 67% of 6 users recommend this card.

25 Surprisingly Salty Processed Foods
Go easy on the salt
by Mara Betsch
The average person in the U.S. consumes 3,500 milligrams of sodium a day. That's equivalent to almost 9 grams of salt, or nearly 2 teaspoonfuls—way more than the 2,300 milligrams per day suggested by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
But the majority of excess salt, or 77%, isn't spooned into your food—it comes from processed foods.
The FDA recently announced a plan to gradually scale back on salt in processed foods, which may be the end of the line for super salty products.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for excess sodium and adjust your intake accordingly. Check out these 25 hidden salt traps you can find lurking in the grocery store.

"I've been asked to speak to various groups about how horrible this drug is and how it can take over someone's life. I don't want any parent to go through what we had to live through."
"In a sense I do feel very privileged. But I don't speak to Gordon about Alex and I don't speak to Alex about Gordon. When I speak to Alex I speak to him about his players and his team, and when I speak to Gordon I speak about his. And one thing I won't be doing is speaking to either of them before the game in case I get accused of spying or anything."
"Our feeling is, speaking only for ourselves, that it was a tie in Singapore. And it should be addressed."
