AbstractnLIGHT proposes a two dimensional Wavelength Stabilized Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (WS-VECSEL) as a pump source for Rb vapor alkali laser used in directed energy weapons. The integration of a narrow-band reflector (i.e. a volume holographic grating) into the external cavity portion of the resonator, the structure promises power scalability from a monolithic active gain media and the narrow-band performance of a VHG-locked diode laser. With experience in high power / efficiency diode lasers, wavelength stabilized diode sources free from power-penalty; device packaging expertise, and epitaxial growth capabilities, nLIGHT is uniquely suited to be successful in all aspects of this program.

Important considerations for BROTHER DCP-130C drivers :
According to us, some programmes listed below are not drivers but application software. But the automatic detection sometimes detects mistaken types. This type of file usually concerns an application which runs on your computer and with which you are interactive with (as opposed to a driver whose activity you are not aware of). However using such an application usually depends on having already installed a driver. The files are recent, if the purchase date of your DCP-130C is much older, try to install it several times. There may be bugs in your driver due to an incompatibility between the date of the driver and your DCP-130C. The first step is to choose a driver that dates from the same time that you bought your DCP-130C on. If you think your DCP-130C could perform in a better way, try to find a more recent driver.
Most of the drivers in the list below are designed to be used in computers equipped with WINDOWS. MICROSOFT developed it in 1995 and there have been 13 different versions since. MS-DOS was the inner most core of operating systems pre-dating Windows Millenium (including the one directly before it), it manages the distribution of sectors for the drivers, files and directories. The Windows operating system was really only two-dimensional versions of MS-DOS. Windows has been credited with the system of visual organisation using windows (which become interactive with the mouse's curser), whereas mac computers had already been using this design for 5 years before the launch of windows 3.1. However it is now known that it was the company XEROX who came up with this idea. The operating system Windows NT was developed for 6 years with IBM. It is the first time that Microsoft didn't use MS-DOS because the system was too limiting in terms of drive access. The new system is multi-user. Microsoft's most recent operating systems still contain the NT core. From the beginnings of Windows NT there followed Windows 2000, XP, Vista and now Seven. Only the operating system Windows NT uses NTFS to stock data in its files. The other systems still use FAT32 which depends on MS-DOS. The latest new thing for NT operating systems : the service pack. Microsoft regularly offers service additions to its system by publishing up-dates in service packs. They considerably affect the performance of computers. The installation of the right driver for your DCP-130C necessitates knowing both the version of your service pack and your Windows system, as well as the format of your hard drive. A bad installation could have serious consequences (unable to restart your computer, damaged hard-drive, lost data etc.) johnsondrivers.com cannot be held responsible for any eventual damage. The BROTHER website will inform you of all the new products of the brand. Your anti-virus must check all your driver's data during installation of the latter, so never disable it during this operation. To install the driver properly, read the manual of your DCP-130C. It will indicate whether you need to unplug your USB cable or restart your computer etc. You will notice that the drivers for your device are heavy. Whether you have a broadband connection or fiber-optic won't change things enormously. Try and choose small files if you have slow connection like shared wifi or 3G. It is important that you copy the file you choose onto your hard drive.

I'm still taking it easy after Dylan's arrival, and I haven't written anything new yet. Here's a quick little post I've had queued up for awhile, though:
I like to look at ads and other media and notice what Mother Culture is trying to tell me. Here's an ad that jumped out at me:
I'm not sure exactly what Accenture does, and I couldn't get much more information out of their website, but I find the image they chose for this ad very interesting.
- What does the choice of an animal as an example of a generic "resource" tell me?
- Would breeding a sheep to get that kind of "more" be good for the sheep? Or for me?
- Am I supposed to view this image as funny? Would it still be funny if that animal can't walk?
I'm a little confused about what thoughts I'm intended to have about this ad, but the thoughts I do have aren't flattering to this company.

As announced last week, an AARP volunteer will be providing free tax preparation services in the Hastings library.
This service will be available to area residents on Wednesdays from 1 to 5 p.m. Relatively simple individual returns will be prepared, but not complicated returns that include income from businesses and rental real estate.
Taxpayers will have a choice of receiving a paper return for filing by mail or an electronic (e-file) which will be filed at no charge. According to Bill Schuerman, AARP taxaide local coordinator, an e-file return will produce the quickest refund, usually within two weeks.
This year, because of the one-time tax rebate sent out last summer, taxpayers will need to provide the preparer with the exact amount received or a copy of last year's tax return.
This is important because the IRS will be auditing all returns for accuracy on this particular item.
Taxpayers must also bring in their income documentation like W-2s, 1099s, etc.
Those taxpayers who may have sold stock must also bring in something to identify the purchase date and basis of cost.Mutual fund withdrawals need this documentation from the fund sponsor. Even if individual earned income is low, and no tax is owed, individuals should come in and investigate the earned income credit.
That credit is substantial.
The re-organizational meeting of the Town Council of Hastings was held Jan. 7. Mayor Tom Ward will continue as mayor, and Paul Nunchuck was elected vice mayor.
In other business, a special election will be held to fill a vacancy on the council.Shelby Jack will remain as town clerk, Ron Brown, the own's attorney, Sally Johnson, as treasurer and Kevin Winters as fire chief.In other matters:
Melanie Morrison of Flagler Estates requested that two alleyways be rededicated back to property owners to allow construction of a medical complex within the town limits.
James Tucker, of Hastings, provided the council with a brief overview of St. Johns County Mental Health's future plans for providing services to the residents in the community.
Jenny O'Dell, St. Johns County public affairs specialist, advised of the upcoming ground breaking ceremony for the new fire station.Rex Knorr, of Elkton, provided follow-up information relating to the Hastings Civic Center. He stated that the Hastings Rotary Club has offered total commitment for taking on the project of getting the Civic Center back in use.
Attorney Brown addressed the council regarding the necessity for a community redevelopment program.
He stated that a clear map of the town will be needed in order to determine findings of fact for meeting the statuary requirements and advised the council to consider if they will serve as the necessary committee or if they will need to appoint a committee of other individuals.
A lease agreement between the town and the Northeast Florida Exchange Club Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse, Inc. was executed, for one year with an option for renewal.
Clerk Jack provided the council with preliminary fees for rental of the facility.
Alan Gray, a relator in Hastings, provided some additional information about the road names in Flagler Estates and about the date of brick placement on the Old Dixie Highway.
According to Gray, the streets in Flagler Estates were given their present names when the 911 emergency system was instituted.
Ted Weatherby perused the county property tax rolls and gave first names of individuals listed therein to the streets going east and west in the development, and last names to the streets going north and south.
There used to be a train station on the south side of a railroad track which came into the west side of the development through Flagler County.
A school and church were also located there. Magnolia trees were planted along Flagler Estates Blvd. about 20 years ago. Many of those still stand, although some lot owners have cut them.
Alan stated that bricks were placed on the Old Dixie Highway in 1912.
I found it fascinating that the road went from St. Augustine through Hastings, east along the present route of 13S, south to Espanola and thence to Daytona. Talk about a round-about trip!
It apparently was necessary because of the difficulty in trying to construct a road to cross the many low areas and creeks along what is now U.S. 1 from St. Augustine to Daytona.
Don't forget the 4-H public speaking contest at the county Ag Center in St. Augustine at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 5 and the Florida State Fair, in Tampa, Feb. 7-18.
With a view from the great piney woods, which was enlivened today by sightings of a bluebird and several yellow finches, I can be reached at 692-1920 or at email@example.com on the net. Thanks to everyone who contributes. Please allow eight days from Monday for publication of community news and events.

All Rise...
Judge Gordon Sullivan would prefer execution to another Dark Reprieve.
The Charge
At the edge of sanity lies the beginning of fear.
The Case
It takes a lot of guts to make a low-budget "twist" movie: if the twist doesn't work, the picture is sunk. With a film like The Sixth Sense, the "twist" ending has the support of millions of dollars worth of Hollywood set dressing, famous actors, and extensive locations, so even if it stinks (or you see it coming after the first 5 minutes) the trip to the multiplex isn't wasted. Indie pics have no such safety net: if the "twist" doesn't work, the viewer is much more likely to feel cheated because the rest of the probably didn't provide much in the way of acting, scenery, or set dressing. Despite a couple of positive points in its favor, Dark Reprieve is a "twist" film likely to leave its audience feeling cheated.
For a plot, we get the tried-and-true two strangers wake up in an abandoned building story. These two struggle with their memories of their arrival while pontificating on what horrific event (apocalypse, serial killer, insanity) has left them stuck in an abandon prison/asylum building. Weird things begin to happen, including the appearance of a wolf and some crazy doctors, and the film mixes flashbacks and flash-forwards to convey the disorientation of our heroes. Intercut with this footage is an interview between a cop and a suspect in a murder investigation. Only at the end do these two stories merge in a grim finale.
I wasn't kidding when I said that if a low-budget film's "twist" failed the audience would be left feeling cheated. I was actually pretty pissed by the end of Dark Reprieve. Seventy minutes of questionable acting and low-budget effects are fine, but not when they lead up to one of the worst "shocking" endings I've ever seen. Parts of the ending are easy to guess (you mean the woman in the prison and the woman being questioned by the cop might somehow be related? I'm shocked. Oh wait, no I'm not.), but the film's conceit is impossible to predict except by random guessing. There are no clues in the rest of the narrative that I saw (and I'm not keen to watch it again to see if I missed anything). Instead, a whopping deus ex machina pointlessly ties everything together, showing the audience what a "Dark Reprieve" might look like. It was asinine, and the worst kind of thriller filmmaking: it's no fun when the audience has no chance of guessing the ending, even if the ending makes sense.
Despite the lame script (and my general antipathy towards the film because of its ending), it's not a total waste. I was actually quite impressed by the caliber of the effects on this production. There's some CG work, as well as an old fashioned man-in-a-rubber-suit style effects, and they all work well above average for this kind of feature. The CG work was an integral part of the ending, and although I didn't like the ending one bit, the effects were well done. I also have to give credit to the director for remembering the cardinal rule of rubber-suit effects: less is more. By only giving us quick glimpses of the monster, it's a lot scarier than if it was rubbed in our faces. Kudos. The prison set/location is also well done, offering decent atmosphere, even if the choice of a limited location seems to be mandated by budget as much as by the story.
As for the DVD itself, that's pretty hard to judge. Image has sent a pre-release screener to our offices, so final specs are subject to change. The video transfer is fairly impressive, with pretty strong blacks and little compression difficulty. The 5.1 audio is a bit of overkill, as the film is very dialogue-heavy. Aside from two trailers (one of them for Dark Reprieve), there are no extras on this disc, although the box promises a gag reel. I'm hoping that more makes it onto the disc before production, as I would have really enjoyed hearing about how the effects were achieved on what was obviously a low budget.
I know it takes a lot to make a film like Dark Reprieve; however it's much easier to admire the creators of this film than it is to admire the product. Because the horrible twist of an ending isn't supported by an otherwise great film, Dark Reprieve is hard to recommend, especially considering the lack of supplements on the DVD.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Dark Reprieve a fair trial? yes / no

How I fixed my "programmer is not responding" "not in sync" while attempting to program my Mini Pro
February 7, 2013
I bought a CP2102 USB - TTL board from eBay. I added the recommended cap from the DTR pin, cut the RST trace, and attached the other end of the cap to the RST pin. I plugged it into my Mini Pro clone, swapping the TX and RX lines as one would think was logical. I got no joy. The arduino IDE would constantly say, either, avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00 , while in Windows, or, avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding , while in Ubuntu.
As many of you have found, lots of people have this issue. There don't seem to be a lot of fixes. I can't promise my experience will work for you, but, hey, it is worth a try. After scanning a number of forum pages, someone mentioned swapping the TX and RX connections. I figured WTH. It can't hurt. I clicked upload, and, IT WORKED! Woohoo!
If you can't program your arduino while using an external USB-TTL board, try swapping the TX and RX connections.

The monthly Get-to-Gather in February will feature a demonstration of weaving techniques, according to Sue Church, Texas Cooperative Extension family and consumer sciences agent in Potter County.
Two speakers are scheduled for the program, which begins at 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Potter Extension office on the Tri-State Fairgrounds. The program is free and open to the public.
Jean Smith, a member of the Cherokee Extension Education Club, will demonstrate making coasters and trivets using a loomless weaving technique.
Helen Smith, a member of the Palo Duro Handweavers' Guild, the Contemporary Handweavers of Texas and the Contemporary Handweavers of America, has been a weaver for 23 years and will share information about several weaving techniques and finished items which use card, inkle, tapestry and cardboard looms.
Instructions for a project using a cardboard loom will be available to participants as a take-home, Church said.
Attendees who have completed projects from previous Get-to-Gathers are encouraged to bring them to share with other participants, Church said.
An award will be presented to the project voted as the most creative of the completed projects shared, she said.

iPhone to launch in South Korea at end of NovemberApple's iPhone will be available to South Korean customers on November 28, just 10 days after South Korea's Communications Commission approved the iPhone for sale.
KT Corp announced that it will offer iPhones for sale beginning on November 28th, making it the first company in South Korea to carry the phone. According to an AP report, KT Corp. began accepting online and in-store orders for the iPhone but will not activate service until the 28th.
South Koreas handheld market is dominated by Samsung and Pantech, which according to Bloomberg have a 90 percent market share in South Korea. Nearly 90 percent of South Koreas population owns a mobile phone.
In a press release, Kim Woo-sik, CEO of KT Corps personal customer group said, We are thrilled to bring iPhone to South Korea. Our customers will enjoy the power and benefits of using the revolutionary iPhone on KTs 3G network.
The Korea Communications Commission approved the iPhone for sale at its meeting on Wednesday. South Korea has a nationwide policy that all devices providing location-based services be subjected to review.

Draft Day
- Studio: Summit Entertainment
- Release Date: Apr 11, 2014
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Draft Day is "Moneyball" Lite. And if that sounds like a slight, it's not intended as one.
Draft Day isn't a movie that is going to change lives or shift paradigms, but it is entertaining, and assembled with care and attention to detail.
A sentimental, predictable, sometimes implausible but thoroughly entertaining, old-fashioned piece.
Entertaining and suspenseful, the movie shows the politicking and strategies that go into this annual ritual, and Costner is at his beleaguered best.
Draft Day isn't quite a comedy, but it's got a similar kind of flow that makes it as easily consumable as lite beer.
Reitman may have his drawbacks but no one has ever accused his films of lacking heart. With sports movies especially, ya gotta have heart.
This isn't so much a movie about sports as it is a riff on politics in the broad sense of the word, and the ways in which smart, insightful people play along to get along -- and then change the game for the better by following their gut.
In his most effective full star turn in perhaps a decade, Kevin Costner dominates as the greenhorn general manager of the beleaguered Cleveland Browns.
Draft Day affords the simple but uncommon pleasure of watching intelligent characters who are passionate about what they do trying to do the best that they can.
The final 20 minutes at the Radio City Music Hall extravaganza are fairly tense, in highly improbable ways designed to rouse send-off cheers.
As a hypothetical, all-access documentary about the kookiest day in draft history, it's oddly satisfying, maybe because watching the actual, bloated spectacle (scheduled this year for May 8) is so often underwhelming.
With his sleepy, So-Cal inflections, Costner is an actor who summons urgency and drama with, well, I'm not sure exactly how he does what he does. He's the least dynamic of stars, but still, he is one.
Draft's reverence for the gridiron, its heroes and the cities that worship them (particularly Cleveland) will make the movie a first-round pick of diehards.
Draft Day feels like a play, and I don't mean a football play. It feels like a play-play at its sporadic best, in the same way J.C. Chandor's 2011 "Margin Call" felt that way.
This is an earnest and way-contrived endeavor that manages, due largely to Costner's efforts, to be genially diverting in a gee-whiz kind of way.
The biggest problem with Draft Day is that even as it shows Sonny sticking to his guns, its absurd, saccharine third act suggests Reitman didn't stick to his, and allowed his latest celebration of free-spirited mavericks to get co-opted by the very kind of system they were created to criticize.
It's the first, and probably last, sports comedy to take its visual cues from Ang Lee's "Hulk."
This literal-minded movie sells old pieties and washes away fear so thoroughly that it creates a new kind of fantasy, in which all's right with a very troubled world. [21 April 2014, p.110]
All of these interesting performers can't save a dull script. To work, Draft Day needs the kind of witty dialogue and snappy energy that Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin brought to "Moneyball" but the screenwriters mistake constant activity for actual screenwriting.
There's plenty of shimmying here, maybe too much, and lots of spin moves, but it's missing on-the-field results.
This isn't a sports movie so much as a procedural about backroom dealings, double-crosses and high-stakes trades.
I don't really buy Draft Day — it's a shallow and evasive movie, built more around corporate wish fulfillment than around reality — but I have to say that it sells itself beautifully.
Costner and Garner are good and Langella properly menacing, but Leary has lost his fastball and seems to be holding something back in his quarrel scenes with Costner. Costner has to carry the film, which he does.
The problem is, Draft Day doesn't really capture that sense of urgency until late in the film.
Costner works hard, and it shows. That's even more true of Leary. Garner's stuck in a thankless role. Only Langella seems to be having unencumbered fun.
The promising-sounding football movie would turn out to be a movie about men talking on phones.
The cruelly obvious third act congeals the film as a wet-eyed monument to the Kevin Costner character's particular brand of American manliness, one that values gut instinct, it's implied, over cold and ruthless calculations.
It's a big deal for the NFL and ESPN, no doubt, and Draft Day serves as 110 minutes of product placement for both.
Draft Day is lumbering and predictable, and its hero general manager is so dumb it should have been called "Dummyball."
Haven't Cleveland fans suffered enough? Not only have they never won a Super Bowl, but now the Browns serve as the center of Ivan Reitman's painfully creaky sports drama.

Students can register for classes up until the Last Date to Enroll as long as space is available and all pre-requisites have been met. After the Last Date to Enroll, instructor approval is required. The Last Date to Enroll differs by class but may be up to 7 days after the class start date. However, it is important to register early as classes fill quickly and the Last Date to Enroll for many classes is the class start date.
If a class is reserved for students in a particular program and the student is not admitted into that program, he/she may contact the class instructor to request approval for a pre-requisite override. If approved, the instructor will grant an online permission via their Faculty Center and the student will be notified by email. Note: Receiving an online permission does not enroll students in a class; once a permission has been granted, students must take action to enroll via self-service or with staff assistance.

Energy Efficiency Opt-In/Opt-Out Provision
What accounts are eligible to opt out?
An opt-in/opt-out enrollment period occurs annually Nov. 1 through Dec. 31. The following opt-out eligibility requirements have been approved by the Public Service Commission of South Carolina:
To qualify to opt out, the non-residential customer must:
- Be served under an electric service agreement where the establishment is classified as a manufacturing industry by the Standard Industrial Classification manual published by the United States Government with more than fifty percent (50%) of the electric energy consumption of such establishment being used of its manufacturing processes; or
- An electric service agreement for general service with an annual consumption of 1,000,000 kWh or greater in the billing months of the prior calendar year.*
Any customer that chooses this option will, after the date of notification to the utility, be exempt from the energy efficiency rider established pursuant to the rule beginning the next calendar year.
- New customers who have accounts that meet the eligibility requirements to opt out have 60 days after establishing service to notify Duke Energy of their election decision. If no opt-out election is made during the first 60 days, the new account will remain opted in to the companys energy efficiency programs. From then on, opt-out decisions can only be made during the companys annual decision window.
- At the time Duke Energy petitions for the annual rider, it may be required to provide the commission with a list of those industrial or large commercial customers that have opted out of participation in the new energy efficiency measures.
- Any customers that opted out during the annual enrollment window may, at their sole discretion, change their election to opt in during a March opt-in window (first five business days of March) and participate in the companys energy efficiency programs. Customers choosing this option should note that the rider will be retroactively applied back to Jan. 1. Customers who choose this opt-in option lose the right to be exempt from the rider for that calendar year.
- Qualifying customers may choose to participate in only the energy efficiency programs only the demand-side management programs, both or neither.
- To opt out, qualifying customers must complete the Energy Efficiency and Demand-Side Management Decision Form. Once the form is received, a qualifying customer will be exempt from the costs associated with the energy efficiency and/or demand-side management components of the energy efficiency rider. However, in doing so, customers forego the opportunity to take advantage of incentives, which can improve the bottom line and lower the cost of doing business.
- Before submitting a request for exemption from this suite of energy-saving programs, we encourage customers to visit our energy efficiency programs page.
Energy Efficiency and Demand-Side Management Decision Form
To view, complete and print the form you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer (click here to download the software). Once you have accessed the application, save the blank template directly to your computer, do not attempt to fill out the form while it is open in a web browser. After opening your application, select Highlight Existing Fields in the top right hand corner of the form to ensure that all fillable fields on your form are show in blue. Once you have completed your form, print a hardcopy for your records and save it to your computer.
Energy Efficiency Frequently Asked Questions
*Commercial customers consuming at least 1 million kilowatt-hours annually are eligible to opt out. For commercial customers consuming at least 1 million kilowatt-hours annually, all other accounts billed to the same entity with lesser annual usage located on the same or contiguous properties are also eligible to opt out.

This article is presenting an invalid account of the shopping this year and the
sum quoted as increased spending over last year is a matter of inflation and not
prosperity. If inflation is put in perspective then the real picture emerges, a
lot less shopping and shoppers than last year. Inflation is taking its toll on
sales and shopper budget restrictions. Products this year are 25% higher than
last year so do some better math and stop trying to make our depression into
someithing its not.
By the standards the news media and business use they would make the 1,000,000,000 mark loaf of bread in Germany in WWII as increased economic consumer trust in government and higher income jobs out there. All government, business, and media statistics are so manipulated not a single one is willing to accept the truth. The people are living the truth of the depression in the economy, all other evaluations are manipulate and bogus.
This evaluators should go visit some stores and malls and talk to retail store managers to get a birds eye view of the facts and how depressed the economy is.

As with a science experiment, successful baking requires accuracy and awareness when it comes to temperatures, moisture levels and precise ingredient measurements. Another factor that comes into play is the environment, including the altitude and the air pressure. In order for baked goods to turn out well at high altitudes, it is necessary to learn how the altitude impacts the baking process, and what modifications can be used to combat it.
In This Article You Will Learn:
- How high altitude affects baking
- Tips for improving recipes at high altitude
- How to choose and prepare your baking pan
How High Altitude Affects Baking
Living at high altitudes—higher than 3,000 feet above sea level—is great for the hiker, skiing enthusiast or competitive runner. However, for the professional baker or even baking hobbyist, this is not typically the case. Although those hungry hikers and skiers are bound to enjoy a warm loaf of bread or sweet cupcake after a long day in the outdoors, high altitudes can be a hindrance to any baker. The problem is that most recipes are developed for use at sea level. As you go up in altitude, the air gets thinner and the atmospheric pressure drops. This change affects cooking as well as baking, and it does so in three important ways.
Water boils at a lower temperature.
At sea level, water boils at 212°F. As you go up in elevation, water boils at lower temperatures.
|Boiling Point
|Sea Level
|212 ºF
|3,000 ft
|206.7 ºF
|5,000 ft
|203.2 ºF
|7,000 ft
|199 ºF
|10,000 ft
|194.7 ºF
High altitudes mean reduced air pressure, meaning that water can boil at a lower temperature. The result is that it takes longer to cook and bake foods, since the lower temperature slows down the chemical and physical reactions that occur during baking and cooking. For instance, dense cake batter or dough will take longer to bake completely, especially in the center, when baked at an altitude above sea level.
Moisture evaporates more quickly.
At higher altitudes, moisture evaporates faster than at lower altitudes. This means that moisture will leave your baked goods more quickly than at sea level.
- Reduced moisture can jeopardize the overall structure of baked goods
- Flavors can become weaker or less pronounced, since there are fewer moisture molecules to carry the aromas
- Baked goods tend to dry out, even go stale, much faster than at sea level
Air bubbles expand and rise more quickly.
The higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. Low air pressure induces rapid expansion of leavening gases, which are bubbles formed from air, carbon dioxide, and water vapor that rise in products with yeast, baking soda or baking powder.
- Cakes will rise very fast but fall even faster, resulting in a dense, flat cake
- Recipes calling for stiffly beaten egg whites might experience excessive expansion while baking, causing the egg whites to pop, resulting in a collapsed cake or baked good
- Low pressure can cause yeast bread dough to over-proof, or rise too much, resulting in warped or flat bread after baking
Choosing and Preparing Baking Pans Correctly
Recipes will specify the ideal pan to use for baking, which is extremely important to achieve the desired result. This goes for breads, cakes and cookies alike. Using the right pan and preparing it correctly can help your baked goods a step further, after you've made the necessary recipe adjustments.
Use the right size pan.
High altitudes accelerate the rate at which baked goods rise, and using a pan that is too small can cause cake or quick bread batter to over-rise and spill into the oven. The same goes for using pie pans that are too small for the filling. Most baking recipes specify the correct pan size to use.
Try an angel food cake pan.
On occasion, using a pan with a tube in the center, such as an angel food cake pan, can result in a better rise and a quicker set. This is because it allows better heat conduction in the center of the cake batter. This is especially helpful for dense cakes and cakes that include fruit. You can purchase such a pan, or make your own by placing an empty aluminum can upside down in the center of a round cake pan.
Prepare the pan for baking.
Breads, cakes and quickbreads stick to pans even more at high altitudes. To prevent this, try greasing and sprinkling flour on the pan. This works at altitudes up to 5,000 ft. At altitudes above this, grease the pan, line it with parchment paper, and then grease and flour the paper. For cookies, use single-layer cookie sheets rather than double-layer, insulated pans, which reduce surface heat and prevent crisping. Muffin pans require greasing with shortening or non-stick spray. Add paper or foil muffin cups on top of this if baking at 9,000 feet or higher.
Quick Reference Guide for Adjusting Recipes at High Altitude
Unfortunately, there are no perfect guidelines for baking above sea level, as every recipe is different depending on the ingredients and the exact altitude situation. Typically, recipes can benefit by slight additions or reductions of certain products, or by altering baking time or temperature. The best way to adjust for high altitude is on a per-recipe basis. Baked goods tend to act in similar ways, and so you can plan the proper adjustment based on the type of baked good. There is no right way, as altitudes, environments and oven temperatures vary. All of the adjustments may be needed, or only one or two; it just depends on the recipe. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect balance.
|Baked Item
|Suggested Adjustments
|Quick Breads
|Yeast Breads
There is no one quick fix for baking at high altitude. You may find that your baked items turn out wonderfully after making just one small change, or you may need to experiment with several changes, depending on your altitude and your baking environment. Baking requires a delicate balance between factors like temperature, humidity, air pressure and ingredients, so take some time to familiarize yourself with how these baked goods behave. Successful baked goods take time and experimentation; it's a matter of working with your environment and not against it.

i can't tell if i'm done shopping til i wrap what i have. stockings are not remotely done yet. today is the ofc christmas party where they will be treated to the Whyisa chicken stuffing bake that they loved last year.
For the second year in a row, I've purchased stuff I saw in SkyMall.
good Lord! literally.
Ridiculous, indeed.

A+++ the comments at the thread are a hoot!
oh, wait....the noun is limner.....forgot to put that in up top.
gees, is he still alive? seems like an eternity.
A+++ limine....very clever!
has she shared that recipe in class yet? either way, I would like it.
it involves boxes of stove top stuffing [suthreners use cornbread, but being a yankee, i use traditional stuffing mix] 2 jars of chicken gravy, 2 cups of chicken breast, either baked or rotisserie, one largish can of cream of chicken soup and then you do a soup can full of milk for additional liquid. Whyisa has you mixing up the stuffing on the stove, but i just dumped the various ingredients in the slow cooker and just mixed it very thoroughly to make sure there was no dry stuffing mix at the bottom. i cooked it through in the oven last night and brought it in with the slow cooker heating element and have it plugged in my ofc.
Overachiever! two homeworks? A+++
LOL very clever A+++
BTW, the noun is limner
Good for you! A+++
LOL. I stole the first cartoon from another website and then realized that I hadn't refreshed overnight. I liked the 2nd illustration better.
Nothing subtle in THAT picture. Maybe I better swear off the juice.
Over the summer Uno's had water with lemons, limes and cucumbers in it. I would get a glass whenever I went in. Delish!
Sounds like something my homies at the station would love.
yea, well now I know where you hang out. ;^)
yea, well now I know where you hang out. ;^)
Got it, is that 2 boxes of stuffing mix?
yes i did two boxes for the medium sized slowcooker/crockpot.

I am reading the Pecksniffian BORe's book on Killing Lincoln on my kindle. It will be the last book as I am mailing it to my son on the west coast who will read all the books I have stored up. I am getting a new version that will allow me to post on FR and keep up with the peculations of theO's gang of thieves. I am having ephemeral dreams of the color screen. I hope I have done an operose job of limning all of the last weeks words.

That's impressive. Give yourself an A+++!
They've added a line to the state income tax form for this coming year that says, basically, "How much do you owe us for sales tax on stuff you bought on the internet?"
It's expected that most people will ignore it until some poor example suckers get raked over the coals.
They call it "use" tax. Like I owe the state anything for the privilege of "using" stuff I bought.

Character Role Analysis
Characters foil each other by highlighting similarities and differences. On the simplest level, Robert and the narrator are foils because they are the two men in the woman's life. One man is blind, and one is sighted; one seems wise, one ignorant; one communicates well with the narrator's wife, and one does not.
Similarly, the narrator and his wife are foils for each other. She's the sensitive, artistic type, and, at least at first, he seems like a callous, insensitive person, who doesn't care much about art.
The narrator and the officer are also foils because they are/were part of the woman's romantic life. Beulah, the officer and the narrator are foils because they both had to deal with the woman and Robert's long-distance relationship. As we discuss above, the main characters in particular all play similar, almost interchangeable roles in the story. Yet, they remain distinct characters, each bringing something special to the table.

"Jamaica - Beware" Jamaica by fe&Dave
Jamaica Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 67 photos
This was our first all-inclusive holiday and why we now want to escape from the confines of the all inclusive holiday. Dont get me wrong the hotel was clean and we had a honeymoon suite at Club Ambience. we just felt that the tour operator made you feel it wasnt safe to go off on your own and of course wanted to sell their trips which were very expensive - anyway we didnt take any notice and hired a car for a couple of days in the first week and clubbed together with another couple for a couple of days in the second week and really enjoyed getting out and seeing the real sites. We didnt feel safe all of the time and felt quite intimidated at times but if you are getting out you have to just be careful and ignore the locals who in tourists areas all have some thing to sell (rip you off !) If you get out of the tourist areas the people are lovely and everything is "no problem". We thought that the favourite past time is sitting and looking at what you are doing - particularly when we went snorkelling off the tourist route when we had tow or three locals just sitting and watching us.
More to come....
- Pros:beautiful places to see - photos coming soon
- Cons:terrible roads, awful drivers, tourist areas beware of people trying to rip you off.
- In a nutshell:Dont be afraid of getting out of your hotel be careful,driving can be scary just be careful and you will be ok

Boring game. But less boring than WoW. But i give you 4.5 Stars for FF8 and The Pillows :D
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Murloc is a very nice game. It shows a simple story, but I let that slide because it's a flash game. The biggest problem with this game would probably be the grinding. It is extremely tedious to have to go back and forth between 2 screens lookin for 10 wolves or whatever it is you need to kill. I do like that you chose this race though as the protagonist, very original. Typical tbs fighting, nothing too bad. But the biggest success in this game is how closely it resembles the real W.O.W. So balancing the goods and bads I give it a 4, I only wrote about the biggest stuff though, enough little things make an effect too.

AES E-Library
Application of Algorithms Dealing with Time Domain Uncertainty for the Automatic Recognition of Musical Phrases
Recognition of musical phrases requires a specific approach because of the specific structure of most musical phrases. Musical patterns may still be perceived by humans as the same melody, even if differentiated in the time and frequency domains. For the purpose of the automatic recognition of musical phrases, a system using a dynamic time-warping algorithm has been proposed. Relatively, a normalization of the pitch of notes has been applied. Results of the preliminary tests are presented. Conclusions concerning the proposed method of the automatic recognition of musical phrases are derived and presented.

The destruction of Penn Station
We will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed. So wrote Ada Louise Huxtable in a NY Times editorial condemning the destruction of Penn Station. The outrage was a major catalyst for the architectural preservation movement in the United States. In 1965, the New York Landmarks Law was passed, which helped save the iconic Grand Central Terminal and more than 30,000 other buildings from similar fates.

Scott Widak, 47, has Down syndrome and is terminally ill with liver disease. To cope with his uncle's challenging situation, Widak's nephew, Sean O'Connor, turned to the Reddit community to see if anyone would be interested in sending a letter to his uncle. O'Connor then included a link to a news article about Widak and his art, along with two photos of him and his mother, a P.O. box address and a few things he's interested in, like Johnny Cash. Following the post, Widak received hundreds of letters from all over the world. From Mashable: a story of random acts of kindness.

Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an: Islam and the Founders
By Denise A. Spellberg
393 pages, $27.95
By Edward Cuddihy
Americans have been arguing bitterly over religion since before the founding of the independent nation. The Colonists came by it honestly. They arrived from Europe with a legacy of several hundred years of wars with the infidels, the Papists and fellow Christian reformers.
A few early Colonists died for their religious beliefs, or for lack of them. Others were jailed or exiled.
Then Vice President Thomas Jefferson, a decade after the nation's founding, became the first presidential candidate – but not the last – to be falsely characterized as a Muslim.
John Quincy Adams, advocating for the re-election of his father, "exposed" Jefferson as "a Turk," that day's euphemism for followers of Mohammad, which in 18th century American eyes made him more unfit than a Jew, or even a Roman Catholic, to head this Protestant nation.
When the founders were not squabbling over fundamental denominational differences, they were calling on religion to bolster political arguments that had little to do with their religious beliefs.
It was as if nothing could trump the religion card; no directive, no tax, no proposed legislation.
At the ratification of the Constitution, the vast majority of Americans were Protestant. Most states practiced de facto establishment of religion. You might be barred from public office or not fully protected by the law if you weren't affiliated with this or that Protestant denomination.
Where freedom of religion was tolerated, the implication of "toleration" was that the majority belief is superior to those being tolerated. Even official toleration was seldom extended to Papists, Jews or Turks. Sometimes Baptists and Deists made the short list of intolerables.
So it hardly was serendipitous that the founding fathers insisted the first sentence of the Bill of Rights prohibit the establishment of religion and assure religious freedom. The subject was so entwined in the fabric of the young nation that Americans never have tired of wrangling over exactly what our founders had in mind.
Author Denise Spellberg is the latest to trudge into the quagmire of religion and government in her somewhat erudite book "Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an."
Spellberg, a Mideast scholar who currently teaches Islamic civilization at the University of Texas, brings her point of expertise to this old question.
Despite the book's title, which plays into some current social controversies, the bulk of it deals not with the Quran, but with the varied and often-divisive understanding of religious freedom held by our founders.
Although references to Islam abound in Federalist period writings, Spellberg stipulates they were purely theoretical. Most Americans had never knowingly met a Muslim. For most Americans, Islam meant Barbary Coast piracy.
The average American in 1800 may have met one or two of the roughly 2,000 Jews, or may have known several of the 20,000 Catholics who lived mostly in Maryland, but a Muslim? Not likely. (The U.S. population was slightly above 5 million, of which nearly 900,000 were slaves.)
Jefferson, a professed Deist who apparently did not accept the cornerstone precept of Christianity – the divinity of Christ – is often quoted as saying: "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg." Therefore, he argued, it was none of government's business.
When Jefferson included "the Turks" in his arguments for total religious freedom, Spellberg writes, he was underlining his point: All free men, not just all free Christians, as some have tried to argue today, were to be covered under the umbrella of religious freedom.
Jefferson "freely disparaged" Islam, Spellberg writes, but he fought for the civil rights of its adherents should there ever be any on this continent.
Of course, Jefferson's eloquent writings on human rights beg the question of the duplicity of his slave ownership and his fathering of children by at least one of them. There also is a touch of irony in that some slaves of Western African origin are believed today to have been Muslim. A few, Spellberg states, even wrote and read Arabic.
Many of the founders' writings on the relationship of government and religion remain relevant today, but it can be difficult for the reader to discern them in Spellberg's slow, methodical development. Her style floats freely between university textbook and legal brief.
Even the story of young Adams labeling Jefferson a student of the Quran and a follower "of Mahomet" takes on a certain sterility in Spellberg's telling. One has almost to surmise what a dastardly defamation the New Englander Adams was laying on the presidential challenger, a Southern son of the European Enlightenment, by calling him a Muslim.
Then there's the mysterious final chapter of the book, entitled: "Why Can't a Muslim Be President?" and its references to President Obama, Glenn Beck, Sen. John McCain, the so-called birthers and Bryan Fischer.
One only wonders if this chapter which feels so out of place is an afterthought, or if it is the reason for all the fine historical work that precedes it. Is this a work of history or an extended piece of advocacy?
Either way, it is notable that this subject which has stalked American politics for more than 200 years should be revisited by a serious student of history at a time when many are playing the religion card to justify political positions.
Spellberg's revisit has slightly more positives than negatives going for it, but the positives are more cerebral than popular. The book will prove tough-going for readers of history who look to get into the skin rather than the mind of the title character.

First and foremost. NINTENDO Does NOT make Pokemon games. They just sell them.
Brief history: Stadium and Stadium 2 were both made by Creatures Inc. A Sister company to Pokemon Company who have shares with Pokemon. Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness were made by Genius Sonority. Genius Sonority has only been contracted to make 4 Pokemon games, while Creatures Inc takes most of the spin offs both in the past and presently.
As for "Fan Wants", based on sales figures, Fans prefer the handheld system games. They sell more than the home console ones. Gamefreak has no intention of ever bringing the main series to the Home Console, but we have Creatures Inc who will do that for us should TPC allow. The number of handheld spin offs increased more than console ones, they even tried to test out the possibility of bringing one of the bigger Spinoffs onto the home console which didn't do too well with sales.
While there are more vocal members screaming and demanding for specific changes, they are actually within the minority. Gamefreak has always given what the majority has asked for. They do listen to their fans, although majority of them are Japanese children.
