About Nancie
I'm a food writer and cookbook author, with a passion for food and culinary history and traditions, the people and stories behind a given dish, meal, or cuisine. Traveling has been important to me all my life; the three years I spent as a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand sparked my passion for Asian culinary traditions in particular. As a Southerner by birth, I had the blessing of growing up on biscuits, tomato sandwiches, deviled eggs, black-eyed peas, poundcake and egg custard pie. In Thailand I fell in love with lemongrass, lime leaves, coconut milk, fiery curries, and mangoes and papayas, both ripe and unripe. These days I'm back home in North Carolina, living in Chapel Hill and cooking dinner for my family most nights. This blog is my place to enjoy an everyday conversation with you, about ingredients, traditional dishes, food people, cookbooks, cooking and culture in Asia and the American South, and of course, recipes. It's an honor and a pleasure to have you stop by.

Hi Nancie:
For years I have looked for a receipe my Grandmother made every
Holiday, Lady Baltimore Cake, and finaly in my Food Book Club, I stumbled on your book, and they gave some of the cakes in the book, and I was blown away. There was a receipe for Lady Baltimore Cake in your Southern Cakes. I ordered it immediately, and was so glad to have that receipe, and all the other lovely cake receipes. I would like to think it was because we lived up North as to not finding the receipe, but my Grandmother had it. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood, and all the goodies that went with it.
Hi Nancie,
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your recipes from "Quick and Easy Thai!" My husband and I love Thai cuisine and your cookbook is our "go-to" for Thai cooking. I live in Wilmington, NC but travel to Chapel Hill often and wondered if you ever hosted a group cooking class. "A Southern Season" seems like the perfect venue!
Many of my friends viewed Thai food as a difficult cuisine to cook until I recommended your book. Thank you again for sharing your recipes and for making Thai food truly "quick and easy!"
Hi Nancie,
Don't see a way to contact you here, but just wanted to say hi ( we met at the IACP conference a few years back in Chicago), and I really look forward to seeing you again this weekend at Camp Blogaway- yay!
Hi Nancie,
I've had your Real Vegetarian Thai cookbook for years now and have to admit, I have hardly cooked from it. I have redisovered it on my shelf and am now happy cooking from it – starting with a variation of your Thai Yellow Cabbage Curry.
Please do come on by my blog for a gander
Kind wishes Shaheen
Nancie, Lisa at A Southern Season just told me about you and your writing. I look forward to meeting you and sharing Peace Corps and cooking stories.
Hi Nancie, Just wanted to drop you a line – I was driving to the grocery store yesterday and heard you on Faith Middleton's PBS Radio Show. The pie you were discussing at that moment was your Amazing Coconut Pie. The thing was, I had already had coconut on my grocery list. My sweet tooth was dictating coconut macaroons but, after hearing of this pie, I thought that it'd be a great alternative for my coconut craving. When I got home, I looked you up and found the recipe here. We had it for dessert that night. At room temperature it was heaven! It had that coconut custard thing going on. This morning for a late coffee break, we had another piece of pie, this time, cold out of the fridge. What a Keeper! So happy for this little coconut synchronicity and happy to have been introduced to you from Faith's show.
A bigger compliment could not have been given…… to have you say I "nailed" my first pound cake means so much to me. More than you can imagine. A joy to spend the day with you and your charming husband. Thanks for food, fun, and friendship!
May your Thai homecoming be filled with incredible food and delightful experiences! Looking forward to reading all about it…..
Hi Nancie
Fantastic recipes………Thanks. I too love Thai food, well food in general if I'm honest!
I shared your surname until marriage. By chance were your roots from Roscommon before North Carolina? Madeleine
The most celebrated food in our Missouri family is the Butterscotch Pie, made by my late Grandmother, Katharine Davenport. It was always my Birthday Pie (no cake!). I have her handwritten recipe dated 1915. She was a Southern girl.. Her father was a Confederate Soldier. Grandmother died in 1993 at 110. She was still baking the pie after 101. We still adore Butterscotch Pie, but no one makes it
quite as well as she did. Thank You for keeping this pie alive! Bill McIntyre
Hey Nancie with an 'ie'!! I'm a fellow North Carolina GRITS GIRL (born and raised in Charlotte, graduate of NC STATE (Go Wolfpack!)….currently 'into' Pie Baking and am making a Concord Grape Pie tomorrow…..I live in Frontenac, MO (suberb of St Louis) and had taken a Pie Class at Kitchen Conservatory last summer where I acquired the recipe. Made it for the first time last week and was disappointed with the texture of the hulls (being too tough)…..googled away all that I could find and came across your recipe for Muscadine Grape Hull Pie! Decided to attempt the pie again and use your method for boiling pulp and then cooking hulls after. Filling is chilling in fridge (1:00 am CST so best get some beauty rest and tackle pie tomorrow)……am so hoping your method works as the flavor of this recipe is spot on! So happy to find another SOUTHERN BELLE to talk 'baking' with!
Cheers, Carole Tharp Marcum, aka Dixie Cup
Hello Nancie ~ Check your e-mail in box… I hope I still have your correct address!
Trying to reach you while I'm visiting Chapel Hill, and hope to see you. Maybe finally we can confirm "who broke up w/ whom" in 7th grade at Ferndale… Paul S.

The Ten Best Days of Summer still has some of the same events which date back to the start, 93 years ago like horse pulling. This event is one of the most traditional events. Horses test their strength and compete to see which pair can pull the most weight. Watch them pull Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:30, 1:30 and 5:30pm in the pulling ring.
Tradition doesn't stop at classic sporting events. There's a long list of traditional food like root beer floats at the fair and also shows that are classics with a new twist.
Mutts Gone Nuts is a dog show featuring all types of dogs. Scott Houghton, Mutts Gone Nuts owner, says that back when the fair began, dogs, specifically border collies, were used in animal herding shows. Now the dogs can do much more than herding. Rusty, a border collie, can do many tricks with a Frisbee. Along with that you can see a dog walk on a tight rope and a barrel. The shows are 1, 4 and 7pm everyday.

I'm all for this product if this is the result of using it.
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever – Anonymous.
My assumption is that normally the bottom of this phone would feature a large amount of gum that has lost it's flavor and thus people don't want to chew, but because this retains flavor people don't just stick it to the bottom of stuff.
Because you chew longer, you don't need to stick it to the bottom of a telephone or desk etc.. not the strongest piece of communication I've seen...
please someone explain in clear words the concept of the campaign.
there's no gums sticked to the chair, desk or phone (as usually happens) because these gums is still chewing...
mireia, there's no gum sticked to the chair, desk, phone, etc (as usuaully happens) because these gums is still chewing...
eh. uninspiring. just seems like a forced "look at me and how clever I am" without understanding people.
Seems the director tried to act too smart, too much creative that no one except the director would get it!
I'm excited to know my mistakes!

|Unable to get junit task to work
|Tue, 02 Mar 2004 18:51:02 GMT
Forgive me I'am a newbie at this, I'm able to run test ant build files successfully (compile, copy, even ftp) and I am able to run junit tests on their own using java junit.textui.TestRunner or java junit.swingui.TestRunner but I cannot get junit tests to run from within ant. The output states the tests have run with 0 failures but it also states that (in the case of this test), there were 2 Errors. My first problem is I don't know how to get the Error detail (is there a log file or debug flag to set? I tried ant -d but it gave no detail on the Errors). And my second problem is I cannot determine why I can run the test with not problem using junit commandline but not from a simple ant buildfile?? Please help, let me know of anymore details you may need. I have junit.jar and the path for junit.samples.AllTests in my classpath. I also have junit.jar in ANT_HOME\lib My testing directory structure is. E:\java\junit3.8.1\ E:\java\junit3.8.1\build.xml E:\JAVA\junit3.8.1\junit\tests\AllTest.class I'm using ant 1.6 & junit 3.8.1 (though I've also tried ant 1.5.4) on Win2K (have also tried in Fedora) If I run junit on its own I get the following input.

Travel Products for Allergies and Tots
By Candyce H. Stapen
Planning is the all-important key to a great trip, especially if you have allergies or are traveling with young children. SelectWisely food cards present your special, dietary needs in more than thirty languages. BambinOz PortaChair lightens the gear you need to lug along with your tot.
When researching our family trip to China, the food issue had us stumped. Both my daughter Alissa and I are lactose intolerant and Alissa, at the time, was a strict vegan. Fortunately, Chinese cuisine doen't use many milk products. That made it less of a problem to negotiate restaurants in Shanghai and Beijing where many people speak English. However, our itinerary also included time in some remote areas. Figuring out how to say "no milk, cheese or cream" in Cantonese or Mandarin as well as "no meat" for Alissa had us stymied until we discovered SelectWisely.
The company produces plastic laminated cards that state your food preferences and problems in a variety of languages as well as picture cards that feature images of shellfish, milk or other culinary nemeses with the international "do not" symbol—a red circle with a diagonal line-- drawn through the forbidden items. Carrying both types of cards, gave us the confidence to sample the local cuisine even in the countryside.
Ecards are also available.
We highly recommend that you order these cards if you have food allergies, dietary restrictions or even strong preferences. The cards range from about $8.50-$10 for standard ones and a bit more for special orders.
Armed with your card, you can sample that tucked away restaurant in Bangkok your friend raved about since you can inform the non-English speaking waiter that you'll get ill if you eat anything cooked with peanuts or peanut oil. You no longer have to assume that you can tell that the tasty tagine on the buffet table in Aswan, Egypt, contains no cheese. Just whip out your handy lactose intolerant card printed in Arabic.
Forget about memorizing (and later mispronouncing) key words. You don't want to get the sounds for "cannot" and "like" mixed up in Hindi when telling the polite server that fish will give you a severe case of abdominal cramps. And if on a hike through villages in Cambodia's countryside, you suddenly feel faint, just whip out the SelectWisely card for "take me to the hospital" in Khmer.
As parents know, the smaller the child, the more gear that's necessary to take along on trips. PortaChair by BambinOz lightens the load by eliminating the need for a highchair, at least in the short term. That goes for day trips to Aunt Betty's or a weekend at a vacation house that comes with a fabulous deck but no kid equipment.
Smaller than a rolled-up bath towel, the easy to tote PortaChair looks like a strip of quilted material with seatbelt-like straps. We admit to being skeptical until we tried it on our five month-old nephew Sam. Although the directions are a bit confusing, we figured out how to drape the device around the back of a chair so as to create a seat secured with the 5-point safety harness.
Sam sat perfectly content in the surprisingly sturdy harness. He loved being at the table and we didn't have to find a highchair. Recommended for tots 5-30 months, PortaChair retails for about $55.

She sits alone in the dark
bitting her bottom lip,
Her chest is tight with pain
and her tears begin to drip.
All the golden memories
that fill up inside her head,
Are blackened by the fact that
her sister was found dead.
The feeling Sam had left her

Her head just keeps on spinning
she can not take the pain.
Chris punches a big window

She watches the glass shatter
looks down and sees the blood red.

The pain she suffers in her heart

Hi everyone,
My fiancé love to travel to Vietnam and Myanmar in our honeymoon this Nov. We haven't traveled to Southeast Asia before and think it's better to let a reliable travel agent plan our trip. I was recommended some but cannot decide which one to choose.
I was quite impressed with the website of Exotic Voyages, which looks luxury and reliable. But not sure about their quality, does anyone have experience with them?
Another agent i was recommended is Myanmar Dairies, but as I know they only do tours within Myanmar, is it right?
I'm open with aother suggestions for experiences and tips in 2 countries, please share.
Thank you in advance

Honeymoon with Exotic Voyages???
Hi everyone,
Report Abuse
For travel in Myanmar, you want a local agent there. We used Santa Maria, but there are many excellent agents in Yangon.
How much time do you have? Both Myanmar and VN take time, and if you don't have a lot of time, choose one country. For VN, you may want to use a local agent as well like Tonkin or VN stay. Using a big international company like Exotic Voyages will cost you much more than using a local agent.
Report Abuse
Unless you have 4 weeks for your honeymoon, you cannot do justice to both countries. I suggest you pick one or the other. Many on this forum (including me) have used local agents such as Tonkin Travel for Vietnam and Santa Maria for Myanmar. These agents are easy to work with and will customize their tours to your needs. If you want luxury, they can provide it. I would choose Myanmar over Vietnam for a honeymoon and visit Bagan and Inle Lake, for sure. You could also do some beach time in Ngapali, if that suits you. Most likely, you will enter and exit Myanmar via Yangon. Post back and we would be happy to answer more specific questions in detail.

Hi Kathie and Craig,
We have only 2 weeks, but our plan is traveling to Myanmar for about 10 days and flying to a beach in Vietnam for 5 days. Is it possible? I thought Exotic voyages has head office in Vietnam??? doesnt it?
By the way, I have checked out these 2 travel agents website you recommend. Tonkin is ok but Santa Maria looks scrap. Do you know any more luxury agent? I'm a little bit worried as we would like the best tour for our honeymoon. Quite confused about what to choose
Report Abuse
@Manny262: You can do both in two weeks. While I would recommend a travel agent for Burma, you can go through Vietnam without one no problem. The beaches in Phu Quoc are beautiful and if you just want to laze on a beach, it's perfect. If you want to be able to do other things, try Nha Trang or Da Nang. Plenty of hotels and easy to book online. From Da Nang, you can visit Hoi An in about 20 minutes. You can easily do a day in Saigon before heading to either, especially since you'll land there. Enjoy!
Report Abuse
If you want a beach as part of your trip, I'd suggest that you either go to a beach in Myanmar or one in Thailand. VN requires another pre-arranged visa.
I can't imagine why you think Santa Maria "looks scrap." I've used them for two trips, had top accommodations or both. They were excellent. But I have no stake in you using them, I just want to make sure you know to use a local agent. I expect any local agent in Myanmar would be quite willing to book you the best accommodations, but the question is whether they have the connections to get you the best. Santa Maria books a lot of high-end clients. When we visited the Governor's Residence in Yangon, the manager took us on a tour and showed us the "best" room, which he noted Santa Maria requests for their clients. Also, they were able to get me the suite I wanted at the Strand, a river front suite in Bagan, etc. Here is their website: http://myanmartravels.net Most agent in Myanmar don't have fancy websites if that is what you are looking for.
Exotic Voyages does have an office in VN, but also has offices in the US, UK and Hong Kong. In my experience, the big multi-national agents don't have the local connections so necessary in Myanmar and they are always more expensive, as they have to subcontract some things to local agents. If you want to use them for VN, they would probably be ok, but I wouldn't use them for Myanmar.
Report Abuse
Hi Kathie,
Thank you for your suggestion, i have contacted Exotic Voyages and about to contact Santa Maria as well, hope they have experience in planning luxury trips as you said. I think I shall compare the proposals from them and decide later.
many thanks,
Report Abuse
Good luck! Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Be aware that you are quite late for planning a trip for Nov 2013. It may be difficult to find luxury accommodations at this late date.

A Corynebacterium species consistently resistant to all antibiotic therapy except vancomycin caused bacteremia in 32 of 284 (11%) marrow transplant patients. Twenty-one patients had colonization or infection before bacteremia. Twenty-six of the 32 patients were males, and males older than 16 years were infected significantly more often than females over 16, or than all patients under 16. A case-control study showed that infected patients had greater exposure to antibiotics; more often had failure of engraftment and persistent granulocytopenia; were in laminar air-flow rooms less often; and had greater inhospital mortality. Cultural surveillance showed that 17 of 42 marrow transplant patients were colonized with Corynebacterium species. Likelihood of colonization appeared related to age, sex, and duration of hospitalization. Prevalence of colonization in other populations was 1% in nonhospitalized healthy adults and 13% in adults in a general hospital. Corynebacterium species infections occur primarily in adult males with granulocytopenia, mucocutaneous defects, and receiving intensive antibiotic therapy.

Lawyer For WikiLeaks' Assange Deliberately Misled Court, Judge Says
The ruling by a British judge that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can be extradited from the U.K. to Sweden, where he's wanted for questioning about rape accusations two women have made against him, is now online here (and we have a copy at the end of this post).
A few of the judge's key findings:
— "Looking at all the circumstances in the round, this person passes the threshold of being an 'accused' person and is wanted for prosecution."
— Assange's lawyer made "a deliberate attempt to mislead the court" by stating that the Swedish prosecutor had not previously tried to interview Assange.
"In fact this is untrue. He says he realised the mistake the night before giving evidence. He did correct the statement in his evidence in chief (transcript p.83 and p.97). However, this was very low key and not done in a way that I, at least, immediately grasped as significant. It was only in cross-examination that the extent of the mistake became clear. Mr Hurtig must have realised the significance of paragraph 13 of his proof when he submitted it. I do not accept that this was a genuine mistake."
According to The Guardian, "Assange will appeal, his legal team confirmed. If this is unsuccessful, he will be extradited to Sweden in 10 days."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Team owner Rick Hendrick thinks NASCAR should not return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway until the retaining wall Jeff Gordon slammed into is improved.
Special barriers are located in the outside walls at Las Vegas. But the track did not install them along the inside wall, which the four-time NASCAR champion hit in the closing laps Sunday. The force was so violent Gordon's entire transmission was ripped from under the hood.
"If the teams are asked to spend $8 million apiece for a car that is a little bit safer, then we need to fix the damn walls at the track," Hendrick told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "That ought to be priority No. 1, and if the tracks don't have the walls, then we shouldn't race there."
Gordon's accident happened shortly after a restart with five laps to go when Gordon made contact with Matt Kenseth, sending both cars into a spin. Gordon's car smacked the inside wall.
Gordon said the accident was the "hardest I've ever hit" and was highly critical of the lack of SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barriers. He also was bothered that the angle of impact was nearly head-on because the part of the wall he hit curved inward as an access point for safety vehicles.
After being checked in the care center, Gordon delivered an on-air message to the track owner.
"Bruton [Smith], you need a soft wall and to change the wall back there on the back straightaway," he said. "It was a really, really hard hit. It took me awhile to be able to catch my breath and to get out.
"I couldn't have hit the wall at a worse angle. It really tore the thing up. I'm really disappointed right now in this speedway for not having a soft wall back there. And even being able to get to that part of the wall shouldn't happen."
Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports Inc., told ESPN.com's David Newton that engineers are looking at adding a SAFER barrier on the wall at the corner of the opening near the Turn 2 backstretch where Gordon crashed on Sunday.
"Jeff is right and we will do this," Smith told ESPN.com. "When Jeff Gordon says something I pay attention. He's my friend, pal, chum and soon-to-be next-door neighbor."
Smith would like all tracks to take a look at protective barriers in those areas.
"I'm glad Jeff spoke out," Smith told ESPN.com. "He told it like it was and I totally agree with him."
SAFER barriers were invented during a safety overhaul that resulted from the 2001 death of Dale Earnhardt. The walls were developed by Dean Sicking at the University of Nebraska and are currently installed in some form at every track used by NASCAR's top series.
Track president Chris Powell said speedway officials worked closely with NASCAR when the original walls were installed, and would do the same this time.
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the sanctioning body will meet with Sicking and the University of Nebraska.
"We obviously will take a close look with them, get with the track and take a look at it and go from there," Poston said.
Hendrick called the absence of the SAFER barriers on the inside wall "most likely an oversight."
"I don't worry about Bruton fixing his stuff," he said. "He'll get this fixed."
Hendrick, NASCAR's most powerful owner, is not known for being outspoken. He said Gordon told him he escaped serious injury only because of the safety equipment provided by Hendrick Motorsports.
"These guys are star athletes," Hendrick said. "They make or break the sport and we can't be putting them in danger."
Gordon was in a crash at Pocono in 2006 that until Las Vegas he considered the hardest of his career. Hendrick said the Pocono crash "was as bad as it gets" and "it nearly brought me to my knees" when Gordon lost his brakes and went straight into the wall at nearly 200 mph.
Pocono had a SAFER barrier where Gordon hit, and the impact tore a huge chunk of the foam from the wall. Other than feeling a "little fuzzy," Gordon was unscathed and credited his safety equipment.
He did the same following Sunday's wreck.
"I've got an awesome team because they build a safe race car," he said. "I'll tell you what: Several years ago those types of hits, you wouldn't be standing here right now."
Information from The Associated Press and ESPN.com's David Newton was used in this report.

Our Mission is to offer the Hope of life
What we've achieved so far.
So far, our efforts - with the support of many others - have increased the donor numbers on the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) to over 71 900 as at 30th March 2016. This is a wonderful achievement, yet more needs to be done.
1:100 000 chance
The chance of finding a match, however, is 1:100 000. In a rainbow country such as South Africa, the SABMR should ideally have a minimum of 400 000 donors, representative of the four main ethnic groups: Black, Coloured, Indian and White.

|FILM Ferrania
FILM Ferrania s.r.l. is a manufacturing company located in Ferrania (Liguria), Italy, founded in 1923 as a maker of photographic film, papers, and photographic equipment, including cameras. The company was purchased in 1964 by the 3M company to become Ferrania 3M, until it was spun off in 1996 to 3M's Imation division. In 1999, Ferrania was acquired by Schroder Ventures and then spun off as a separate company. Subsequently it was acquired by a Genoese shipping company, Gruppo Messina (Ignazio Messina & Co. S.p.A).
Original Ferrania[edit]
The roots to the Ferrania company lie with the 1882-founded explosives manufacturer SIPE (Società Italiana Prodotti Esplodenti, "Italian Society of Explosives Products"). World War I saw a wide extension of business for SIPE, including the establishment of a new plant situated in the Ferrania hamlet of Cairo Montenotte. With the production and chemical properties of explosives and early film being very similar, towards the end of the war SIPE founded a subsidiary called FILM (Fabbrica Italiana Lamine Milano, "Italian Lamination Factory, Milan") co-owned by the French Pathé Brothers, which effectively became the film company Ferrania, founded in 1923.
In 1932, Ferrania acquired the Milanese photographic plate manufacturer Cappelli, to temporarily become Cappelli-Ferrania, and soon after also Tensi, the city's other large photographic plate manufacturer, before re-naming itself back to just Ferrania in 1938. Ferrania's widest expansion and peak in popularity came in the post-World War II era after 1945, producing films such as Ferraniacolor or the black-and-white Pancro 30 used by Pier Paolo Pasolini for many of his films. In the later years following the 1964 acquisition by 3M and as part of Imation, the company manufactured and sold photographic film under the Solaris, Dynachrome, and Scotch Chrome brands, as well as private label products. Up until 2007, Ferrania remained the only manufacturer of 126 "Instamatic" films after Kodak discontinued them in 1999.[citation needed]
In July 2008, the company's President announced to its unions that manufacture of color film products would cease in December 2008, although as late as March 2009, Ferrania customer service stated that they were still producing 135 format color film in 200 and 400 ASA. However, all manufacture of photographic film had ceased by the end of that year, and in October 2012, Ferrania laid off 198 out of 230 employees formerly working in the manufacture and processing of film.
FILM Ferrania[edit]
In 2013, the photographic film production line was acquired by the new company FILM Ferrania s.r.l. which took over some of Ferrania's manufacturing equipment and buildings, as well as a number of those Ferrania technicians laid off in 2012. FILM Ferrania inherited the historic brand Ferrania to launch analog products suitable for the actual needs of the cine/photo market. In 2013, FILM Ferrania announced to be intending to re-start production of Solaris FG-100 Plus color negative film and Scotch Chrome 100 color slide film in a variety of formats, with a potential emphasis on cine film. In an interview, Nicola Baldini, chief of the new company, stated his intention of also bringing back black-and-white films, especially the historical Ferrania Pancro 30.
On November 19, 2013 Film Ferrania presented the main core of production and R&D, formed by eight people with years of experience in the field, who are listed by their names, biography, and photos, on the company's website. On September 2014, Film Ferrania, after an online survey, announced a crowdfounding on the platform Kickstarter to obtain $250.000 from the founders to buy some machines from the old plant of Ferrania.[1] On October 29, 2014 Film Ferrania terminated the fundraising campaign reaching $322.420 (128% of the original target),[2] and announced that as a prize for the donations, they will send films of the first batch of 35mm, 120, super8 and 16mm test rolls based on the original Scotch Chrome 100, in April 2015.
However, Film Ferrania suffered numerous production delays due to unseasonable weather in Italy, asbestos discoveries, and numerous flooding problems due to the unseasonable winter weather in Italy and it has not started production so far. In late 2015, FILM Ferrania CEO Baldini told German magazine Cine 8-16[3] that the new time schedule was to start the first test batch to send to donators by spring 2016, which will include a line of color reversal films based on ScotchChrome in the ISO speeds and color balances of 64D, 100D, 200D, 400D, 640T, and 800/3200T, in the formats of 135 and 120 for still photography, as well as Super8 and 16mm. Later, a negative line based on the Solaris stock will follow in speeds of 100, 200 and 400 ISO.

Hi! :)
First of all thanks for a great poll system. It has more or less everything I'm looking for, and I can see in different reviews that I'm not the only one thinking so.
I do have one question that I hope you or someone else can help me with. Is it possible to change the margin so it's in line with the side bar?
Instead of it's like example one, I would like to it be more example two in the below picture?
Best Regards,

Jordan Fuchs' memory of his last trip to the state Federation tournament is not pleasant. It is one he so desperately wants to replace.
The Christ the King forward was a sophomore back in 2011 when the Royals boys' basketball team lost in overtime to Mount Vernon in the final. Fuchs called the post-game locker room horrible, filled with seniors crying long after the defeat.
"I don't want that feeling," he said. "It makes me want to win so bad. I hate that."
Wanting their season to end in celebration has helped build the team's strong chemistry and enabled Christ the King to get this far, according to senior guard Jon Severe. Last year's season ended with the CHSAA intersectional quarterfinals, well short of Albany and a Federation title.
"Nobody wants to lose," Severe said. "Now everybody knows what they have to do to win."
The Royals (25-3) head upstate with a balanced and versatile roster trying to win their first Federation title since 2010. They face Bishop Kearney (Section V) in the Class AA semifinals at 6:45 p.m. Friday at the Times Union Center.
CK has its stars in Severe, Fuchs and point guard Malik Harmon, who verbally committed to St. Francis (Pa.). Center Adonis Delarosa has come on as a major factor in the post season.
Even with all of that talent, it's been the Christ the King role players, such as Isaiah Cosbert, Andre Walker and the emergence of freshman Rawle Alkins, that has gotten them here. Cosbert hit the biggest shots, two three-pointers, in the city championship game win over Bishop Loughlin.
"All our guards can shoot it from the outside and penetrate," Harmon said. "Then we have bigs who can finish, rebound and we have a lot of bench players who can do everything. We have a lot of pieces."
If all the pieces fit in place this weekend, the group of Royals can join elite company at the Middle Village school. Coach Joe Arbitello kept reminding his team that only two Christ the King squads have ever won a Federation title.
"To be one of the most elite teams in Christ the King history is a tremendous accomplishment," Arbitello said. "You are talking about some great players who do not have a state championship."
This team wants to be in the more hallowed group by finishing what it started from when the season began. Christ the King has proven to be one of best teams in the area at closing out opponents. Now the players want to end the season the right way and enjoy what comes with winning.
Fuchs points to a photo of the 1989 Federation title team behind one of the baskets in the Christ the King gym. He then looks at the 2010 team pictured on the other end.
"I want one of those," Fuchs said.

Re: The all things technical thread.
James Toney's X's and O's.
- Toney's biggest strength was that he was a
natural fighter
. One of the most natural fighters i have EVER seen. He's as comfortable in the ring as the normal person is in the shower. This is the reason he has stamina and can fight with such pin-point accuracy late on in fights and hardly ever got tired even when he's obese. He's one of the best late round fighters ( He did it time and time again. Mike Nunn, Prince Charles Williams, Mike McCallum etc) in his era. He can stay so on point late on because of this natural ability to stay relaxed. Lights out was so natural he could do what he did just getting out of bed. All this ties in with his defence and ability to transition from defence to offence and vise-versa.
Baiting and countering
. Toney was a master at baiting. He understood that the easiest punches to counter are the ones you see coming so if you know how to force those punches then you're in for a field day. He forced his opponents to throw certain punches. This is why he loved fighting aggressive fighters who fought ***** to the wall so much. Because the best way to beat those type of fighters is to bait and then counter them. As the aggressive fighter already likes punching a lot Toney didn't have to out punch him. He would just get him to throw the punches he wanted. His counter punching was effective because he controlled HOW his opponents missed. He would deflect rather than block.
- Body punching.
Toney's body punching is actually underrated. His left hook to the body is one of the best i've seen. He made Evander Holyfield and Hasim Rahman lift their foot and wince in pain with that shot. He almost paralyzed Jirov with it in the 12th round of their fight.
- Confidence
. James was so super confident to the extreme. Even VERY arrogant. It's sometimes a good trait to have in a fighter. It's interesting how the fighters with super confidence are also the most super relaxed in the ring. Everybody needs confidence and it's an important thing that fighters need more than anyone else. Toney was as confident of his abilities as anyone.
- Footwork
. Toney only really had one glaring weakness in the ring and that was his footwork. He was slow and lazy on his feet and relied too much on his upperbody movement. That's why he didn't like movers. His foot placement wasn't the best and as a result he anchored his feet too much to the ground.
Blinding himself
. James fought wonderfully with great fluidity. But one weakness with his style was that he could blind himself when he dipped too far to his right. This coupled with his poor and slow anchored feet would mean if a fast opponent stepped around him to his blind side he wouldn't see anything. He also wouldn't get free of the position because his feet were not quick enough. This is precisely what Roy Jones did to him. Everytime James Toney dipped to roll with a punch, Roy Jones would step to his blindside and throw left hooks that Toney couldn't see.
Gluttony, indiscipline and lack of focus
. Because Toney was such a natural fighter he thought he didn't need to train like everyone else and look after his body. He would turn up to camps overweight. So in a sense his biggest gift, which was being a natural figher was also his biggest curse. That natural ability was a double edged sword. Like a brillient video game that is so enjoyable, challenging whilst at the same time easy to play and grasp. But erases the need to feel sympathy in people. Where the characters are just multiple and their distruction a matter of no consequence because hey, they're always available on reruns. That was James Toney's attitude.

Surface Pro is a monstor success. MS stores, BBY, Staples reporting consumers grabbing them moment they show up on shevles
Same thing at my local Staples. Sold as soon as they reach the store.
Was told 2nd shipment of 128 GB Pro's arrived today in San Juan's Microsoft Store and was again sold out. I was one of the lucky ones to get one last Saturday. I am LOVING IT. I also added shares on Monday. Microsoft has finally delivered a game-changer in my opinion. Can't wait for ver. 2 with a bigger mSata disk (256), a thinner body and, most importantly, a more efficient INTC Haswell processor.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I am looking to buy Surface Pro for myself and a few as gifts, but BBY and staples at my local area said they are sold out. I thought msft ramping up production, how come there is still none? I am buying more shares tommorrow. General rule of thumb, if you find their products at the stores, then buy their shares.
not as successful as flu. people have it before they know it there,,,,,,,,,,

Here is the question...
Distinguish between thermal dendrites and those induced by constitutional undercooling. Using the Al-Si phase diagram, determine the solid/liquid solute partition coefficient and the gradient of the liquidus curve for the solidification of aluminium-rich alloys. State any assumptions.
Calculate the thermal gradient necessary to ensure a planar front at a solid-liquid interface in a melt of composition Al-0.3 Si wt.% when solidification occurs at a speed of 5 x 10^-2 mm /s. [The diffusivity of Si in liquid Al is 5 x 10^-9m^2/s].
The answer (the temperature gradient) is Thermal gradient = 104 K mm-1at a speed of 5 x 10-2 mm s-1
I guess I have to use this equation:
The slope of the liquid curve as m and C(L)= C(S)/k. So, I can get the k from this equation.
My question is where can I get m and R value in this equation. And how come the answer is 104?
You can find an interactive version of this phase diagram that will let you read compositions directly from the position of the mouse cursor, at:http://www.doitpoms.ac.uk/miclib/pds.swf?targetFrame=Al-Si

Cyclone Ian Kills 1, Destroys Hundreds of Homes in Tonga
NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga -- Tongan officials said Monday that 300 to 400 families had their homes severely damaged or destroyed in a powerful storm but they are relieved the death toll hasn't risen beyond one.
Director of Emergencies Leveni Aho said it's "almost unbelievable" there weren't more fatalities given the devastation caused by Cyclone Ian, which pummeled the South Pacific archipelago with gusts up to 287 kilometers (178 miles) per hour on Saturday.
"The worst of Ian's impacts were felt in the northern Islands of Tonga where the cyclone roared through as the equivalent of a Category 4 or 5 hurricane," said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. "Ian then passed east of Tonga's most populated island of Tongatapu, sparing the island from severe impacts."
Worst hit was the Ha'apai island group, home to 8,000 people.
News site Matangi Tonga reported that Kalolaine Paongo, 51, was killed on the island of Lifuka after she was cut on the leg by a piece of roofing iron during the cyclone and later died in a hospital.
Aho said several people suffered moderate injuries but none were life threatening.
Aho said the cyclone's destructive path was unusually narrow and did not create major flooding, which helped limit the damage. He said relief supplies have begun arriving but he remains concerned that fresh water supplies are dwindling, in part because many people rely on roof rainwater catchment systems that were destroyed in the storm.
He said that one of the two main cell phone operators restored service Monday, which has vastly improved communications. Residents remain without power, he said, but he hopes power will be restored to some places in the coming days.

He said there was severe damage to the control tower at Ha'apai airport but that some flights carrying relief supplies have been able to land.
New Zealand's government has pledged 50,000 New Zealand dollars ($41,000) toward relief efforts and several aid agencies have deployed to the region.
"Ian was the first tropical cyclone of the 2013-2014 South Pacific tropical cyclone season, which typically runs from November through April," said Dolce.

John Cunningham
Philosophy: Stay just outside your comfort zone. I relaxed once, became complacent, and stagnated for close to 10 years. Nothing productive came from it and I have never felt more unhealthy. I made the decision to challenge myself and step outside that comfort zone at which point everything changed. I believe we need to stay active, consistently challenging our mind and bodies. No Matter who you are or what your level of fitness might be, if you are interested in new challenges, you've come to the right place, and I would love to meet and work with you!
Gail Nelson
Philosophy: I believe the greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of health, vitality and wellness. In today's busy world it can be hard to find the time to take care of ourselves by exercising and eating right but we must make it a priority. Most of us want to be healthy, energetic and strong as we get older, and a regular cardio and resistance program can definitely help us achieve this! I can help you design a program that fits with your lifestyle, whether you need a program that you can do at home or you want to be in the gym on a regular basis.
Victoria Franklin
Philosophy: The more you move the more you feel. Set forth in motion and feel amazing! I can help you to reach your fitness goals.

Philosophy: Without struggle there is no progress. Whether you're new to the fitness world or looking for a new challenge, I'm here to help you all the way. I was once a sedentary smoker who ate his meals at a seven-eleven, and I know how hard it is to break bad habits and establish healthy ones. Progress, not perfection, is my mantra. When you're ready, we can start working towards your fitness goals one step at a time.
Morgan Provance
Philosophy: To have a stronger body requires mindful decisions. In order to make a change physically, you have to want it mentally. Being mindful in the decisions that we make, such as having proper exercise, will help improve our health and fitness. Mindful decision making is my primary focus. Ergonomics of exercise is embedded in my plan for my clients. My goal is for forward thinking with the development of your physical fitness needs.

Poem Title:
A man came slowly from the setting sun, To Emer, raddling raiment in her dun, And said, 'I am that swineherd whom you bid Go watch the road between the wood and tide, But now I have no need to watch it more.' Then Emer cast the web upon the floor, And raising arms all raddled with the dye, Parted her lips with a loud sudden cry. That swineherd stared upon her face and said, 'No man alive, no man among the dead, Has won the gold his cars of battle bring.' 'But if your master comes home triumphing Why must you blench and shake from foot to crown?' Thereon he shook the more and cast him down Upon the web-heaped floor, and cried his word: 'With him is one sweet-throated like a bird.' 'You dare me to my face,' and thereupon She smote with raddled fist, and where her son Herded the cattle came with stumbling feet, And cried with angry voice, 'It is not meet To ide life away, a common herd.' 'I have long waited, mother, for that word: But wherefore now?' 'There is a man to die; You have the heaviest arm under the sky.' 'Whether under its daylight or its stars My father stands amid his battle-cars.' 'But you have grown to be the taller man.' 'Yet somewhere under starlight or the sun My father stands.' 'Aged, worn out with wars On foot. on horseback or in battle-cars.' 'I only ask what way my journey lies, For He who made you bitter made you wise.' 'The Red Branch camp in a great company Between wood's rim and the horses of the sea. Go there, and light a camp-fire at wood's rim; But tell your name and lineage to him Whose blade compels, and wait till they have found Some feasting man that the same oath has bound.' Among those feasting men Cuchulain dwelt, And his young sweetheart close beside him knelt, Stared on the mournful wonder of his eyes, Even as Spring upon the ancient skies, And pondered on the glory of his days; And all around the harp-string told his praise, And Conchubar, the Red Branch king of kings, With his own fingers touched the brazen strings. At last Cuchulain spake, 'Some man has made His evening fire amid the leafy shade. I have often heard him singing to and fro, I have often heard the sweet sound of his bow. Seek out what man he is.' One went and came. 'He bade me let all know he gives his name At the sword-point, and waits till we have found Some feasting man that the same oath has bound.' Cuchulain cried, 'I am the only man Of all this host so bound from childhood on. After short fighting in the leafy shade, He spake to the young man, 'Is there no maid Who loves you, no white arms to wrap you round, Or do you long for the dim sleepy ground, That you have come and dared me to my face?' 'The dooms of men are in God's hidden place,' 'Your head a while seemed like a woman's head That I loved once.' Again the fighting sped, But now the war-rage in Cuchulain woke, And through that new blade's guard the old blade broke, And pierced him. 'Speak before your breath is done.' 'Cuchulain I, mighty Cuchulain's son.' 'I put you from your pain. I can no more.' While day its burden on to evening bore, With head bowed on his knees Cuchulain stayed; Then Conchubar sent that sweet-throated maid, And she, to win him, his grey hair caressed; In vain her arms, in vain her soft white breast. Then Conchubar, the subtlest of all men, Ranking his Druids round him ten by ten, Spake thus: 'Cuchulain will dwell there and brood For three days more in dreadful quietude, And then arise, and raving slay us all. Chaunt in his ear delusions magical, That he may fight the horses of the sea.' The Druids took them to their mystery, And chaunted for three days. Cuchulain stirred, Stared on the horses of the sea, and heard The cars of battle and his own name cried; And fought with the invulnerable tide.

This paper applies a novel and fast modelling approach to simulate tunnel ventilation flows during fires. The complexity and high cost of full CFD models and the inaccuracies of simplistic zone or analytical models are avoided by efficiently combining mono-dimensional (1D) and CFD (3D) modelling techniques. A simple 1D network approach is used to model tunnel regions where the flow is fully developed (far field), and a detailed CFD representation is used where flow conditions require 3D resolution (near field). This multi-scale method has previously been applied to simulate tunnel ventilation systems including jet fans, vertical shafts and portals (Colella et al., Build Environ 44(12): 2357–2367, 2009) and it is applied here to include the effect of fire. Both direct and indirect coupling strategies are investigated and compared for steady state conditions. The methodology has been applied to a modern tunnel of 7 m diameter and 1.2 km in length. Different fire scenarios ranging from 10 MW to 100 MW are investigated with a variable number of operating jet fans. Comparison of cold flow cases with fire cases provides a quantification of the fire throttling effect, which is seen to be large and to reduce the flow by more than 30% for a 100 MW fire. Emphasis has been given to the discussion of the different coupling procedures and the control of the numerical error. Compared to the full CFD solution, the maximum flow field error can be reduced to less than few percents, but providing a reduction of two orders of magnitude in computational time. The much lower computational cost is of great engineering value, especially for parametric and sensitivity studies required in the design or assessment of ventilation and fire safety systems.

European Union Ends Anti-Subsidy Duties on Indian Screw Makers
The European Union removed provisional tariffs as high as 16.5 percent on screws and bolts from India, saying Indian subsidies didn't cause injury to EU producers such as Italy's Bontempi Vibo SpA.
The EU closed a probe into whether Indian manufacturers of stainless-steel fasteners received trade-distorting government aid, a step that also ends the threat of five-year European anti-subsidy levies.
An Indian manufacturer accounting for 87 percent of the nation's exports of stainless-steel fasteners to the EU wasn't subsidized, the bloc said today. Shipments from the producer, Viraj Profiles Ltd., were sold at "significantly lower" prices than the subsidized imports, according to the EU.
"A causal link between the subsidized imports, accounting for a mere 13 percent of the total quantity exported from India, and the injury suffered by the union industry cannot be sufficiently established," the European Commission, the 27-nation EU's trade authority in Brussels, said in the Official Journal.
The temporary levies being scrapped range from 3.2 percent to 16.5 percent, depending on the Indian exporter. Viraj Profiles faced a 3.2 percent duty. Another Indian exporter, Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd., faced a 13.6 percent levy.
The EU introduced the duties in February on a temporary basis while continuing a probe into whether to apply "definitive" anti-subsidy levies for five years.
The subsidy investigation began in May 2011, the same month the EU opened a separate inquiry into whether Indian makers of stainless-steel fasteners also sold them in Europe below cost, a practice known as dumping. The EU dropped the threat of dumping duties two months ago.
The two probes began less than a year after the EU ended earlier threats to impose anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duties on Indian stainless-steel fasteners. In July 2010, the EU closed similar inquiries covering imports of the same goods from India and Malaysia without applying duties.
