Authentic Hungarian Shopping Experience
Looking around in Budapest Markets is a must if you want to get the feel of everyday life in the city. At the beginning of the 20th century Budapest had around 40 smaller food markets. The heyday of that market era ended when local people wanted fewer, but larger and tidier places to buy their everyday groceries at.
- the Central Market at the Pest end of Szabadság híd
- the Hold utca market in the city centre, and
- the Hunyadi tér market in Terézváros (district VI.)
Today the vegetable and fruit markets sell fresh fruits, vegetables, bakery, dairy, and meat products, honey, and other food stuff all the year round.
The most impressive food market in Budapest is the Great Market Hall or (Central Market Hall) at the Pest end of Liberty Bridge, but there are a handful of other large markets including ones selling bio products.
4 Reasons You must Visit Budapest Markets:
- Hungarian fruits and vegetables. Due to the favourable climate, Hungary produces tasty fruits and vegetables that you can buy in the markets at reasonable price.Whichever season may you come, do try some seasonal produce.
They have real taste unlike the stuff you can get in supermarkets. Put Hungarian Paprika Powder on top of your list!
TIP: On our Special Hungarian Foods page you'll find further tips on what to buy in food market in Budapest.
- Get authentic local souvenirs, food specialties, wines and spirits.
- Have lángos, a deep-fried Hungarian savoury pastry, or grilled sausages and black pudding (véres hurka) with fresh bread and mustard.
- Just watch how Hungarians do their everyday shopping.
TIP:Hungarian Cooking Course with a Guided Market Hall Visit
If you want to find out more about local food, and feel like learning to prepare a couple of traditional Hungarian dishes, attend a cooking course organized in a modern cooking school in the city centre.
Kind, English-speaking chefs introduce you to the country's cuisine, the most important cooking ingredients, and help you to make a traditional 3-course menu.
A guided visit to the famous Central Market Hall can be included in the course.
You can reserve your Hungarian Cooking Class in Budapest here.Safety TIP: Markets are busy places, an advantage for pickpockets. Keep your purse in a well-fastened handbag, and hold it close to your body.
To avoid crowd, visit the markets on Monday or mid-week! After the busy weekend, fewer people go shopping on the first day of the week.Quick Links: Most Popular Budapest Markets – Central Market Hall (Központi Vásárcsarnok) – Fehérvári úti Market – Lehel tér Market – Belvárosi Piac (formerly Hold utca Market) – Fény utcai Market – Other Markets – Biomarkets
Traditional Budapest Markets – Our Favourites in no Particular order
They all have similar architecture: cast iron structure, and spacious interior. The markets have been renovated in the past decades.
The reconstructed markets had lost most of their old world charm, however they have a few benefits too: airy interior, new delicatessen shops, gourmet coffee shops, and clean toilettes.
Note that Budapest has few decent public toilettes, so you'll appreciate this benefit. All markets are closed on Sunday, except the Batthyány tér food market.
Great (or Central) Market Hall (Központi Vásárcsarnok)
Address: Vámház krt. 1-3., district IX., Pest end of Liberty Bridge, trams 2, 47, 49, the nearest metro station is at Kálvin tér (M3 blue line)
Open: Mon: 06 – 17.00, Tue-Fri 06.00 – 18.00, Sat: 06.00 – 15.00, Sun & Publ. Holidays: Closed
The most impressive and largest market in Budapest. It's worth a visit just to admire its architecture.
In the more than 100-year old building you can get almost everything on its three levels. So if you have limited time for shopping, pop in the Great Market Hall to get a souvenir.
Note that that the market is very busy every day since it's popular with both locals and tourists. The fishmonger on the lower level is one of the best in town.
The Central Market of Budapest is also a good place to get homemade dairy products, sausages, salamis, honey, and wild mushrooms sold in the back at the ground level.
Read more on the Great (Central) Market Hall in Budapest.
Programs for Tourists in the Central Market Hall in 2014:
National Gastro Days in the Great Market Hall (Nagyvásárcsarnok):
Venue: Great market Hall, Vámház krt. 1-3., district IX., Pest end of Liberty Bridge, trams 2, 47, 49, the nearest metro station is at Kálvin tér (M3 blue line)
Opening hours: Thurs-Fri: 9.00-18.00, Sat: 9.00-15.00
Each week from Thursday to Saturday a different nation introduces its culinary delights as well as cultural, and natural treasures.
So browse the schedule below, and pick a nation the cuisine and culture of which interest you the most and head for the Central Market in Budapest.
Market in Hold utca- Belvárosi Piac/Downtown Market – Renewed in 2014.
Address: Hold utca 13., district V., M2 metro Kossuth tér, M3 metro Arany János utca
Open: Mon: 6.30 – 17.00, Tue-Fri 6.30, Sat: 6.30 – 14.00
Combine shopping (and eating) in Hold utca market with a visit to the nearby Budapest Parliament.
The renewed and renamed Hold utca market (now called Belvárosi Piac / Inner City Market) offers vegetables, fruits and other grocery products as well as it has quite a few small eateries, buffets, bistros offering good, inexpensive food for the many office people working in the area.
The new market's aim is to attract more and more farmers and greengrocers from the countryside to come and sell their fresh, tasty produce and products to the city dwellers.
As a result of the refurbishment, all buffets/bistros moved to the gallery. The original, 19. century details were preserved during the works.
Special lanes aid blinds and the visually impaired. There's also a map with Braille writing at the entrance helping to find your way around.
For real Hungarian fare try also Kispiac Bistro (open: Mon-Sat: 12.00 – 22.00), located next to the entrance of the market (address: Hold utca 13., Bp. 1054), at reasonable prices: grilled meats, fresh salads, pickles, homemade jamsEvent TIP: the first Street Food Show Gastro Festival was held at the Belvárosi Piac Market with the best foodie places of the city, Hungarian gastro bloggers, new bistros and restaurants offering food specialties for tourists, and locals alike. The event attracts so many visitors that it moved to a new location: Andrássy Avenue.
Hunyadi Tér Market
Address: Hunyadi tér, district VI.
Open: Tue – Sat: 5.00 – 12.00 (the market hall is closed on Monday)
The smallest food market in the city. It's open on weekdays though the offer is not as wide as it is on Friday and Saturday.
The last one renovated out of the five classic food markets of Budapest.
The exterior part of the market is where you can buy seasonal fruits and veggies, smoked meat, dairy products inside there are a couple of more vegetable stands, butchers, fishmonger, and pickles.
The Hunyadi Square market offers the widest variety in seasonal vegetables, herbs, and fruits in Budapest.TIP: I mainly favour the Hunyadi tér market because of the Culinaris gourmet food shop next door. I can buy everything I need for a gourmet dinner and than some: exotic spices, fresh herbs, rice, pasta, dairy products, teas, coffees, chocolate, ice cream (Ben & Jerry's), biscuits, bakery products and many other delicacies.
Rákóczi tér Market
Address: Rákóczi tér 7-9, district VII. , trams 4-6 Rákóczi tér
Open: Mon: 6.00 – 16.00, Tue-Fri: 6.00 – 18.00, Sat: 6.00 – 13.00
A bit neglected due to the construction works of the metro 4 station. Fewer farmers and greengrocers both during the week and on Friday-Saturday.
A good number of butchers (selling mainly pork and poultry), a small but fairly good fishmonger, one artisan cheese maker among the several ordinary dairy product sellers.
Good, basic food market for everyday shopping, don't look for exotic produce and gourmet food stuff.
Klauzál tér Market – More Like a Flea Market Today
Address: Klauzál tér, district VII., trams 4 and 6., Király utca stop
The Klauzál is is in the heart of Budapest's old Jewish Quarter. A modern supermarket took up the place of the original market. Very few vegetable vendors during the day, however the grilled meat buffet is very popular around noon.
A busy flea market operates on Saturday mornings. That's all what remained of the classic grocery market hall where you could get smoked goose thigh, and kosher food stuff.TIP: for good, cheap food try Kádár étkezde a retro-style inn a few blocks down (Klauzál tér 9., open. Tue-Sat: 11.30-15.30)
Other Budapest Markets
Batthyány tér Market
Address: Batthyány tér 5., district I., M2 metro Batthyány tér station
Charming market hall facing the imposing Parliament on the other side of the Danube. It's been recently renovated.
Fruit and vegetable vendors, you'll also find a large supermarket, nice cafés on the top floor from where you can admire the superb view of the Danube and the Parliament. Good thing that the market is open on Sundays.
Fény utca Market
Address: Lövőház utca 12., district II., at the back end of Mammut Shopping Mall, trams 4-6, M2 metro Széll Kálmán tér station
Open: Shop Level: Mon-Fri: 6.00/10.00 – 22.00, Sat 6.00/9.00-14.00/22.00, market I-II levels: Mon-Fri: 6.00-18.00, Sat: 6.00-14.00
An upscale, modern market replaced the old market in Buda. The reconstruction increased the rent for the vendors and the prices went up too, so mainly the well-offs do their shopping here.
Besides quality Hungarian produce, you fin all sorts exotic fruits, veggies and herbs at the market in Fény utca.TIP: Buy local artisan cheeses at the Szega cheese shop, or Italian and Iberian ham at the "A Sonkás" shop..
Lehel tér Market – an Ordinary Food Market
Address: Lehel tér, district XIII. , behind Nyugati Railway Station, M3 metro Lehel tér station
Open: Mon-Fri 06.00 – 18.00, Sat 06.00 – 14.00
The ship-shaped modern architecture replaced the old market a few years ago. Smaller than the Great Market Hall, but offers a wide variety of groceries.
Mainly locals from the neighbourhood do their everyday shopping here.
The most exciting products are the fresh herbs and the wild mushrooms. There are a couple of butchers, and the Turkish spice shop also worth a visit.
Fehérvári Úti Market, Southern Buda
Address: Kőrösi József út 7-9., 1117 Budapest, next to the Allee Shopping Center, tram 4 termini
Opening hours: Monday: 6.30-17.00, Tue-Fri: 6.30-18.00, Sat: 6.30-14.00
The spacious, 3-story food market in Southern Buda was finished in 2003. This is my favorite food market in Budapest after the Central Market.
On the ground floor all sorts of products are sold. On the first floor you'll find butchers, greengrocers and pickle makers. This is also the place to buy traditional homemade mangalica or ordinary pork sausage, salami, bacon, smoked meat, and dairy products from small producers.
Traditional Hungarian paprika, honey, jams, wines are also available. There is a fishmonger with quite good offer of salt water and sweet water fishes. The wild mushroom selection is also great.
On the second floor you can have a bite and drink in one of the eateries, buffets, cafes, and pubs.
The floors are connected with escalators and are accessible for people in wheelchair.
Farmers Markets: Közös Piac, SzimlaKert Sunday market, Belvárosi Piac
Besides the permanent markets listed on this page, there are a couple of temporary or seasonal farmers' markets in Budapest too, that offer friendly atmopshere and high-quality organic produce and food stuff. Here are two of our favorites:
Közös Piac: Farmers' Market, Central Passage, at the Gödör Klub
Getting there: trams 47, 49 or M1 M2 M3 metros Deák tér station
Every Saturday 10.00-17.00, at Király Street 8.
One our favourite place to shop for artisan food products:
- bread and pastries,
- strudel,
- paprika
- paste,
- honey,
- jams, fruit syrups,
- gourmet cheese,
- ham,
- sausages, salamis,
- spices and more.
Friendly vendors, and farmers, you can taste most items before purchasing.

Because of my tendency to, ahem, hoard things, you know: empty jars and containers, scrap paper for craft, other people's junk… and because we have young children who are growing rapidly, decluttering is a constant process in our household.
It's that time of the year again when you've probably seen all around the webosphere decluttering tips and challenges.
But it's hard to find the time or the motivation to declutter, even if it's only carving out 10 minutes to clean out a drawer.
And if I do make time for a good declutter, I find it's only a matter of weeks or months before I need to do it again.
Which is why I've started a perpetual decluttering system.
perpetual decluttering
Perpetual decluttering means you're always decluttering.
Which is not as onerous as it sounds.
Here's how it works.
First, set up a box or a bag for stuff that needs to go to the charity store. If you sell your things second hand, you can also set up a box for stuff you want to sell. And of course, rubbish can just go in the bin or into recycling.
Give your declutter box a permanent spot in the house. Mine is in the top of one of the kid's wardrobes.
Now whenever you come across an item that you no longer need, you just throw it straight in the box.
10 second decluttering!
So, if I'm looking through the kitchen drawer and I come across something I haven't used in ages, then I put it straight in the box for the charity store. If I'm dressing the little lady and I'm trying to wrestle her into a top that obviously doesn't fit anymore, it goes straight into the box (clean, by the way). If I come across a baby toy that the kids no longer play with, it goes straight into the box.
You get the idea.
Once the box is full, I put it into the boot in the car and put a new, empty box in the cupboard. We get our fruit and vegetables packed in vege boxes, so I always have boxes in the house. The kids play with them and they come in handy for many things.
The charity store is on the way home from the little fella's kindy, so it's a five minute job to drop the full box off.
If there are things in the 'to sell' box, I list them online when I get some spare time. It's a great way to make a bit of spare 'fun money'.
While it can be cathartic, and occasionally necessary to go through your things and have a big clean out, it's not always practical. By having a perpetual decluttering system in place, you keep on top of the clutter, making life easier in the process.

SLAM! Wrestling interviewed Seth Rollins before Monday Night Raw in Baltimore, MD this week. Below are the highlights:
The Shield turning babyface:
"It's just how things happen," Rollins said. "It's been an interesting transformation, I suppose. But to be honest with you, we really haven't done much different. We just started targeting different people, I suppose. By that association, the fans just started to get with us. It's been fun. It's been a side to take for sure, but I think it's something that we're all pretty excited about."
New generation of talent in WWE:
"I think that with this new generation of guys, you talk about the Wyatt Family, you can talk about Daniel Bryan, the Usos, you can throw Cesaro in there. There's this next generation of dudes who are hungry, man," Rollins said. "The Shield, coming into WWE, we wanted to change what was going on. We had seen the business stagnate for a good five years at least. Just guys not coming in being hungry, and not wanting to make change, not wanting to ruffle any feathers, feeling like they're walking on eggshells. Myself, Ambrose and Reigns, we were never like that. We're all alpha males, that type personality.
"We all want to be the best, be number one. From the very outset, we were just going to work harder than everybody else, put on better matches than everybody else, cut better promos than everybody else, be more interesting than everybody else. We didn't really care who that pissed off. I think that attitude resonated with a lot of other guys that we came across, especially in developmental — and they brought that attitude up here with them. It's really a great time to be a WWE fan, because you've got a lot of very invested performers who are willing to make that sacrifice, to make that change."
Emergence of Roman Reigns:
"He's smart enough to listen. He's smart enough to pay attention and pick up little things," Rollins said of Reigns. "He's someone who's a student of the game. He played football before he got here. He didn't spend as much time doing this as we had, but it's in his blood. His family's a huge part of this business. He's just a guy who's built for it. It's just part of him. We spend a lot of time in the car and a lot of time in the ring together, and stuff like that, so if he's not learning, then something's not right. But I think it's pretty clear that over the past 18 months that we've been teamed up up here that his progression and his development has been accelerated, to say the least."

Many have left their mark on the Ladder of Wisdom, and still more have gathered to sit in it's brilliant presence and absorb all that is written on it's yellow steps.
This ladder was first acquired in summer of 2005. Sitting outside a house in Hampstead, it was rescued and brought back to 10 Iverson Road, dwelling place of LJ, Kirsty and Camilla, where it was given a shocking respray and named 'The Visitor's Wisdom Ladder'. It then moved to 266 Camberwell New Rd, and on to Union Grove, where it was controversially decided it should become 'The Wedding Ladder'. All wisdom has been photographed and displayed in the following pages to ensure it is not lost, and can be preserved for the encouragement and guidance for future generations.
Kirsty lives and works in sunny London,and loves to bake fine cakes, and knit beautiful creations.

Do you know what I love more than seeing Tom Hardy? Seeing him in a trench coat.
The actor has rocked the look a few times on the red carpet, and each time it's fabulous. Take this morning's look at the UK premiere of Edge of Tomorrow. The mix of the coat and the scruff is definitely doing it for me.
That Charlotte Riley is one incredibly lucky lady. Tom was out to support his lady love today, who has a supporting role in the new Tom Cruise flick.
Side note: Edge of Tomorrow actually looks pretty good. So I will be seeing it.
Now back to Tom. Did you guys catch him in Locke yet? It's probably one of my favorite and one of the most amazing performances I've seen all year. I mean, it's just him on the screen for an hour and a half and I was riveted. I've never cared so much about concrete!
Also, it seems that Tom had jumped the gun on calling Charlotte his wife. They are still just engaged. But like, they're basically married. Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of the non-married couple. Has Tom made your Wednesday better like I said he would? Sound off in the comments!

Credit Collection Form Letters
Whether or not your business chooses to use cash discounts or delinquency charges, a systematic follow-up procedure should be employed with all past-due accounts. Usually, this will take the form of a series of letters or telephone calls or both, as required.
First Collection Letter
When an account becomes approximately 15 days past due, the customer should be sent the first collection letter. Since the account cannot be considered seriously delinquent at this time, the tone of the letter should be moderate. Later letters should establish a firmer tone so that the customer is made aware of the seriousness of the situation.
The 15-day past-due letter should read about as follows:
Dear Mr. Adams:
According to our records, your current balance due is $473.25. Of this amount, $215.38 is more than 30 days past due. As you know, our normal terms require payment within 30 days after the invoice is sent to you.
Since you have established an excellent credit rating with us in the past, we are surprised to see a problem arise at this time. If there is some error, or you are unable to pay the amount due immediately, please contact me so that we can correct the situation or make suitable arrangements for prompt payment of this obligation.
Thank you for your attention to this request.
Very truly yours,
Jim Madison
Second Collection Letter
A second letter, 30 days later, might read as follows, if no response has been received from the customer:
Dear Mr. Adams:
We have not received any response from our statements of the last two months nor to our letter of September 15. Your entire account is now 45 days overdue, and you owe us a total of $473.25.
If there is some reason why this payment cannot be made immediately, please contact us so that we can make arrangements that will be mutually agreeable. Perhaps we can work out a payment schedule that would be realistic for your present circumstances.
Naturally, we do not want to endanger your credit rating or destroy the good relationship that we have maintained in the past. Therefore, would you please take care of this obligation immediately so that we will not have to file an unfavorable report with the credit bureau or resort to the use of a collection agency or an attorney.
We have enclosed a self-addressed envelope for your convenience. Please return it as soon as possible with your check for the balance owed.
Very truly yours,
Jim Madison
Third Collection Letter
If this is unsuccessful, a stronger letter should be sent in 30 days:
Dear Mr. Adams:
We still have no response from our statements of the past three months nor from the letters that we sent you on September 15 and October 15.
Your entire account is now seriously past due: It is obvious that our efforts to clear the account on a mutually agreeable basis have had no impact. Unless we receive payment from you within seven days, or can work out a mutually agreeable arrangement to discharge this obligation, we will have to report the matter to the retail credit bureau.
Subsequently, the account will be turned over to a collection agency or to our attorneys for further action. Since this is a costly procedure for both of us, and will cause serious damage to your credit rating, I would suggest that you call immediately so that we can clear the matter at once without resorting to such procedures.
Very truly yours,
Jim Madison
As you noticed, the tone of each letter became progressively stronger with suggestions of more serious action introduced in each case. The tone that you would want to establish in such "dunning letters" will often depend upon the type of relationship that you maintain with your customers. However, the ground rules should be clear. Past-due accounts should not be ignored.
Frequently, an even more persuasive approach is through use of the telephone. The ground rules are basically the same. You must become progressively firmer with each call and indicate that stronger measures will be used if necessary to ensure prompt payment. The telephone has the added advantage of flexibility since you can be more direct with better knowledge of the individual account. You acquire this knowledge through asking questions such as the following:
- "What seems to be the problem? We never had difficulty with your account in the past."
- "How much would be a reasonable amount for you to pay each month? Perhaps $50, $60?"
- "How soon can we expect payment of this amount?"
Try to avoid questions that can be answered "yes" or "no." If the creditor gives you an answer such as, "I'll mail it today," answer with: "I appreciate that. Then I can expect it in two or three days. If I don't have it by then, I'll call you back." Be sure that the creditor realizes that you are totally aware of the situation and that you do not intend to ignore it. If your own collection efforts fail, there are two courses of action that are left to you - the collection agencies and the courts.
Collection Agencies
Collection agencies are businesses established to collect past-due accounts receivable on behalf of creditors. The primary advantage that collection agencies offer is their superior knowledge of persuasive collection techniques. Additionally, creditors are usually anxious to clear invoices referred to collection agencies rather than further damage their credit ratings. The collection agency's fee is usually based upon a percentage of each account collected. The percentage ranges from 25% to 50% depending upon the size of the account or the total dollar volume of accounts referred to the agency for collection. This approach, while often effective, can be expensive. A business is committed to paying the agency's fee on any account referred for collection, whether payment is made to the agency or to the business. Although some creditors may resent making payment to a collection agency and prefer to pay the company directly, the company is still committed to pay the fee when the account is collected.
If the collection agency fails, your final recourse is through the courts. The matter may be resolved in a small claims court if the amount owed is small. For larger amounts, you may have to file suit to collect. In either case, you are faced with a costly and time-consuming procedure. The best way of avoiding these time-consuming, costly procedures is to take prompt, strong action on your own as early as possible. In the long run, you will be doing not only yourself a favor but also the creditor. While your creditors may be unhappy at the time, you will have spared them costs, time, and the loss of their credit ratings.

Developer Jam just released a new iOS Slider Puzzle Game with Mr. Bean as the Theme. At the moment you can choose among 6 categories (Sport, Animals, Music, Food, Transport and Teddy), where each category gives you 6 pieces of puzzle.
For each puzzle you can pick 4 difficulties (3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6) to play against.
When you start each play, there will be a clock which will start and counting how long it takes for you to finish the puzzle. Once you finish it you can share the result via Email, Twitter of Facebook. There is also a hint provided which will show the un-scrambled puzzle.
I must say, I suck on this puzzle game, it took me quite long to finish just the basic 3×3 one, as you can see. But, it was fun and of course it is all about our beloved Mr Bean :)

In recent months NLPC reported how Big Labor has vowed to make an aggressive push to "Organize the South," and has joined the media-amplified "Moral Monday" protests as part of their strategy to infiltrate right-to-work states, especially in North Carolina.
Last week the unions upped the ante. The president of the national American Federation of Government Employees, J. David Cox, and his chief of staff Bryan DeWyngaert, were two of 20 labor organizers and other protesters who were arrested last Monday for failing to leave the N.C. Legislative Building when instructed to do so. In addition, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka called attention to the Tar Heel state demonstrations.
Months have passed since the saga about the fate of Fisker Automotive ended, which was the stimulus-funded electric vehicle flop that always seemed on the verge of bankruptcy but had a long existence as part of the walking dead.
The inevitable finally happened in November, after Fisker's executives spent many desperate months traveling the world trying to find a buyer for the struggling company. Apparently blunders and stumbles that included fires, recalls and bad reviews for the only model Fisker ever produced – the Karma – made the business untouchable for outside investors.
Following last week's attention-getting demonstration at McDonald's Corp.'s shareholder meeting in Oak Brook, Ill., Rev. William Barber returned Tuesday to his weekly routine of leading stomps and rants at the North Carolina General Assembly.
The supersized president of the NC chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People relaunched his so-called "Moral Mondays" on May 19, which coincided with the return of legislators to the state capital for a few weeks. Sizes of the crowds he is able to bring to Raleigh vary, but with the aid of the local spectacle-loving media, Barber can always count on overestimates of head counts and exaggerations of his effectiveness.
After the global warming-battling Edwardsport coal gasification power plant used more power than it generated during the September-to-November timeframe, earlier this month information filed with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission showed the Duke Energy facility operated at less than 1 percent of capacity in February.
As Duke wants to recover $1.5 million in costs related to the plant, the state office that advocates for its customers – the Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor – wants IURC to more closely scrutinize why Edwardsport's operation has been such a miserable failure. The much-delayed and fought-over plant had a $1.4 billion cost overrun and as a result is adding an average 16 percent increase to Hoosier State customers' electric bills.
As Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced last week a renewed push to provide $16 billion in taxpayer-backed loans for "clean" technology vehicles, more bad news emerged from another stimulus-funded electric vehicle company over the weekend.
Smith Electric Vehicles, the truck company that was supposed to "make it" because electrification made so much sense for short, urban delivery routes, halted production at the end of 2013. A quarterly report at Recovery.gov attributed the stoppage to "the company's tight cash flow situation."
NLPC has detailed extensively the wastefulness and folly of spending billions of taxpayer and consumer dollars to subsidize wind energy, solar energy and electric vehicles, all in the name of fighting climate change.
But the complicated, uneconomical boondoggle that Duke Energy built in Edwardsport, Ind. so as to burn coal gas rather than coal – and thus produce less carbon dioxide than a traditional coal plant – may be the dumbest idea to fight imaginary global warming to date. If you swallow the alarmists' premise and "solutions," the plant so far is a joke, as recent evidence shows it is using more energy than it produces.
Last week AAA released findings from tests it had run on three models of electric automobiles, and announced that the heavily subsidized vehicles suffer dramatic driving range loss in both cold and hot temperatures.
The news wasn't new, but apparently the broader media noticed because the pronouncement from the nation's largest consumer automotive club made it official. NLPC (beginning with a Consumer Reports experience) has reported from time to time on such problems since late 2011. The Tulsa World reported that AAA found driving distance for electric vehicles can be diminished up to 57 percent in extremely cold temperatures, and by one-third in very hot temperatures.
Last week bankrupt Fisker Automotive was sold to a Chinese company, and Tesla Motors experienced another fire in one of its Model S electric cars.
The Obama administration Green-stimulus losing streak continues. The two luxury electric automaking companies, where the Department of Energy deemed taxpayer "investments" should be placed at risk, don't inspire confidence.
A Saturday march in Raleigh, NC, that consisted of participants from dozens of left-wing groups – many bused in from more than 30 states – marked a new level of effort by national organized labor to assert itself in the South.
The recognized leader of the demonstration is the president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Rev. William Barber (in photo, on right), who recently received national media attention for his remark that black conservatives – such as South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott – are "ventriloquists' dummies" for the Tea Party. Barber last year conducted a series of "Moral Mondays" protests in the state capital against changes in state law that lowered taxes and limited the growth of government.
Were the late Saturday Night Live cast member Gilda Radner still with us today, Tesla Motors might look to her character Emily Litella for its latest public relations campaign to address overheating and fires with its Model S charging systems.
"Never mind," the Weekend Update commentator would say.
That's was also essentially the response from Tesla on Friday when the company announced – after it had vehemently denied any culpability about overheating systems or power cords just three weeks earlier – that it would send all Model S owners new cords to replace the defective old ones. This followed a garage fire in Irvine, Calif., which local authorities blamed on either "a high resistance connection at the wall socket or the Universal Mobile Connector from the Tesla charging system." New charger connectors will be mailed in the next two weeks, according to a Bloomberg report.

The opinions expressed echo some I have had for some time - I am no fan of most pharmaceuticals, except for extreme needs but have had much suspicion on the validity, safety and useful effects of anti-depressants.
In kids I think they are over prescribed and stand a good chance of being mood altering in all the wrong ways. These kids are adolescents - with strong emotional upheavals for many - part of the path to true adulthood.
In some cases it seems enough to push things way beyond normal - with frightening consequences.

Eagle hoop standout has his No. 30 jersey retired
March 13, 2014 | Vol. 117 -- No. 47
Paul Delaney
Ron Cox (middle) with EWU mascot, Swoop and the school's athletic director Bill Chaves, was honored last Saturday as only the second basketball player in school history to have his jersey number retired.
Ron Cox marveled when he recently returned to the Eastern Washington University campus. Patterson Hall had just undergone a head-to-toe remodeling.
"That was brand new when I came," Cox said when he first enrolled at the school in 1973.
Some things sure do change over time.
But others, like a bevy of school records on the basketball court set by Cox – career marks with 1,741 points and 1,273 rebounds – still remain intact after nearly 40 years.
And that's why Cox joins fellow Eagle alum and Detroit Piston Rodney Stuckey as only the second Eastern basketball player in school history to...

Peanut Butter is too often associated with sweet dishes ranging from mildly sweet pb&j to a rich peanut butter fudge. I find this somewhat odd considering that 95% of all peanut butter you buy in the store is salted. The only common use in a savory dish that I can think of is Thai Peanut Sauce which, when correctly prepared, is one of the greatest sauces ever.
Well, my buddy back East recently donated a jar of peanut butter via the link at the end of every post. In his payment note, he requested the jar go toward developing a grilling sauce or marinade. Pairing peanut butter with meat is a difficult task, but one that I'm up to. I believe that peanut butter naturally mixes better with poultry, but I recommend attempting this with pork or beef.
I used several ingredients I had on hand, and let the flavors mix together and marinate the meat overnight. The result was a rich, salty and creamy sauce that penetrated the meat and added a wonderful flavor. This is only a preliminary (and estimated) recipe, but certainly one for the books.
1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1T honey
2t ground ginger
2t garlic salt
2t hot chili sauce (asian chili paste)
dash pepper
1. Whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce and honey. If you're like me and afraid it isn't mixing, then you haven't mixed enough. The result should be a smooth, thick and creamy sauce.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well, making sure to break up any clumps.
3. Place meat in a plastic bag and cover with sauce. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight. Reserve some sauce to brush on top when grilling.
Additional Info:
The resulting flavor and texture were very good. Let the meat marinate in the sauce for a while to allow it to take on the creaminess of the peanut butter. I used 2 turkey tenderloins which is 20 oz or about 1-1/4 lbs. The recipe made more than enough sauce to cover both with a little bit leftover. I recommend marinating pork tenderloins or mixing 1/4 cup sauce with 1 lb of lean ground beef before shaping into patties.

It's the time for pc speed up. This is also available as well to i need to see what's up with msconfd dll. You see? I should look at it.
Speed up it is when things got creepy. That's the question is saturated beyond belief. I went beyond that was an exciting and developing the impressive technology.
You should look at a product like that. How to fix computer might be correct but you shouldn't as long as consequently "Something

The Pichia pastoris expression system was used to produce functionalized single-chain antibody fragments (scFv) directed against the ED-B domain of the B-fibronectin (B-Fn) isoform which was found to be present only in newly formed blood vessels during tumor angiogenesis. Therefore, scFv antibody fragments recognizing the ED-B domain are potential markers for angiogenesis. We constructed four functionalized scFv antibody fragments for direct labeling with radioactive molecules or toxins or for attachment to liposomes serving as carriers for cytotoxic or antiangiogenic compounds. The C-termini of the scFv antibody fragments contain 1-3 cysteine residues that are separated by a hydrophilic linker (GGSSGGSSGS) from the binding domain and are accessible for site-specific functionalization with thiol-reactive reagents. Plasmid expression, culture conditions, and purification were optimized in 1-L cultures. The scFv antibody fragments were purified by anion exchange chromatography. The yields were 5-20 mg/L culture medium. The large-scale production of one scFv antibody fragment in a 3.7-L fermenter gave a yield of 60 mg. The reactivity of the cyteines was demonstrated by labeling with the thiol-reactive fluorescent dye ABD-F. The four scFv antibody fragments bound specifically to ED-B-modified Sepharose and binding was further confirmed by immunofluorescence on cell cultures using ED-B-positive human Caco-2 tumor cells. Furthermore, we could demonstrate specific binding of scFv-modified liposomes to ED-B-positive tumor cells. Our results indicate that the P. pastoris expression system is useful for the large-scale production of cysteine-functionalized alpha-ED-B scFv antibody fragments.
