BUNDT PAN - Best one to buy???
Well.... I went out on a limb today and purchased a Heritage bundt pan from Williams & Sonoma. I really like the unusual shape. Best of all, when I explained my problem with "sticking cakes", they said that if I had any problems within 90 days, they would give my money back to me. Now, the test begins.... They also had a spray they raved about, so I will use it on my Nordicware pan and see if it helps. Thank you for the idea on a butter rub rather than PAM. Five bundt cakes to make in the next few weeks.... crossing my fingers on this one.
BUNDT PAN - Best one to buy???
I pulled out my Bundt Pan and found that it is a Nordic Ware brand pan. It is quite old... has kind of a yellowish outer color and is heavy. It is the one that has driven me crazy because of sticking. Have improvements been made by Nordic over the years. Will it help to buy new one? Once again.... I do spray it with Pam and flour it.
BUNDT PAN - Best one to buy???
Do you spray your bundt pan with some sort of cooking spray or grease it? Grease and flour? Maybe that's a process I'm missing or not doing correctly. I have about 5 holiday events coming up and a bundt cake would be perfect for each one. But, I can't seem to get it right, yet I'm a pretty good cook.
BUNDT PAN - Best one to buy???
Yay.... I'm not the only one having a problem. I get so mad after working so hard to prep the pan that I say "never again", but I love the look of a bundt cake... especially around the holidays. There just has to be something out there that works.
Whole Foods is sneaking up the prices
I certainly respect the e-mail above that suggests that equal products can be found at Safeway, etc. as compared to Whole Foods. I'm the one who travels almost an hour to shop at Whole Foods, yet Safeway, Basha's, etc. are within 2 miles of my home. Did you ever compare the taste of Whole Foods turkey with Safeway's turkey? There is no comparison!!!! How about pork short ribs??? Once again, no comparison. The meat is simply better. Produce may be better at Whole Foods, but I go straight for the meat counter. I can buy one pork short rib that serves two people. At Safeway (and I love the people who work there), IF I can find pork short ribs, they are fatty and taste completely different. In the case of meat, one gets what one pays for at Whole Foods. No... not an employee. Just a happy shopper with a taste for quality meat.
Whole Foods is sneaking up the prices
I travel almost an hour just to go to the nearest Whole Foods. You just can't beat it for meat and poultry. Their fresh turkey breasts are totally fabulous. They may cost more per pound, but at least I can eat all but the bones. My local supermarket turkeys have lots of fat tucked into the sides where you can't see it, but it sure adds to the price.
How accommodating are you?
Looking at it from the other side of the coin, it can be very embarrassing to be invited to someone's house for a meal and have food allergies that are serious. Not just a dislike or preference, but the kind that sends one to the hospital. I'm allergic to carrageenan gum (a colloid extracted from various red algae (as Irish moss) and used especially as a stabilizing or thickening agent). Doesn't sound too bad until you realize that carrageenan gum is hidden in ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, heavy cream, some soups and sometimes found even in milk. Throw in Locust Bean gum (used for the same purpose), plus shrimp and lobster and I've just put a lot of pressure on someone.
So, when one is kindly asked by the hostess about food allergies, telling them to read the ingredients in a food product is an embarrassment. I use great care in restaurants to avoid anything that has potential for a problem. Eating in someone's home is a real issue.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts...Anyone have a good recipe?
A local restaurant makes a roasted brussel spout and roasted diced beet salad that is to die for.... total yummyness !!!!
The Ted's hot dog fans are so right. I loved them when I lived in Buffalo and while Tempe is a jaunt for me now that I live in a Phoenix suberb, it's worth every mile. No I'm not employee, just a hot dog lover who wishes there was a Ted's on the west side of Phoenix. I buy a 5-lb. package of hot dogs there and toss them into the freezer. YUM !!!
What Should We Call Our Fund-Raising Cookbook
After reading your great comments, I can see the compelling need to come up with a really unusual theme that will grab the potential buyer's eye. We live in a hot climate, we will be trying to sell to people who try to present a good meal and stay cool and entertain and stay cool. Even though we are a patriotic group and the $$ will go for veteran and school projects, it does not mean that the theme of our cookbook needs to reflect our goal. I thought of something like "Cool recipes for Hot Weather Entertaining" or ??? What theme would make you pick up a cookbook?
Perfect Thanksgiving Meal
Love Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey with great gravy, Pepperidge Farm stuffing cubes with browned sausage "crumbles", chopped onion; cranberry sauce (with curry powder and ginger), broccolli, sweet potato casserole with pineapple (Mama's recipe), mashed potatoes, date stuffed with walnuts and/or gorgonzola cheese. Dessert.... ho/hum. Who needs anything more?? Forgot to add my dh's Bloody Mary's... a recipe so good that a large, local Country Club took it over and serves it. "Their recipe" is now renowed.

Meds, Mind, Body & Benefits > Questions About Treatment & Side Effects
Results from Radiesse (Malar Filler)
Today I had a malar (facial) filler performed by a dermatologist. I had significant lipoatrophy. The procedure took about an hour and a half, commencing with topical and injected anesthetics. Due to the significance, four vials of Radiesse were used. (No, it ain't cheap!) It was painful at the time, with approximately eighty (yes, 80) injections as they construct the subcutaneous matrix or latticework. Note, however, that it would be less product for someone of lesser lipoatrophy. It's been about four hours now since I left their office. My face feels slightly tender, but the pain has substantially subsided. The dermatologist felt the results met and exceeded his expectations. I'd reckon they achieved about an eighty per cent improvement, and that's fine with me. Understandably, this was (is) a very emotional and psychological process. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I feel as though an eight-year curse has been lifted from me (time since onset of lipoatrophy.) Incorporated in this message are two pre- and post-procedure photos, front and side. I hope my post may be helpful to anyone considering this procedure.Gary [attachment deleted by admin]
Hi Gary: Well there IS a dramatic change there. I almost fainted when you told me you had around 80 shots! I think I'd faint and the doc wouldn't even have to sedate me. Is your face a little swollen still ? I guess it sort of settles into the skin better after a few days. Is it true you have to use sunblock after a filling is applied to your face or is that a myth? ??? So, do you feel it was worth it? I congratulate you because you are one brave man! 8) Best wishes and I hope you feel better now that all this is over with.
Hey Richard, Thanks for the feedback :D I don't think my face is swollen, at least they didn't remark that it was. No sunblock advised. I did ask if I could shave tomorrow and he said yes. I also asked (since I sleep on my side) if doing so would shift the product around, and he said no. He said I may have some bruising (though I had none when I left) and if so, it would check in four or five days. Right now (six hours post-procedure) my face just feels like it got a moderate sunburn is all. Hell yes...it was worth it!! I hope you proceed with yours once the particulars are clarified for you.Take Care,Gary
W O W! What a difference! Thank you for posting. I suffer from "mild" lipoatrophy and have been pondering the exact product you had injected. I'm now convinced to go forward. Congratulations!
Thanks so much for posting photos. It's a dramatic difference. I had facial PMMA treatments with no injected anestetic and I know all those shots are no fun. Congratulations on your new face!

I've just finished reading the book, Halfway Heaven, about the tragic murder of a Harvard student by her roommate who immediately thereafter committed suicide in their dormitory room. The author is a Harvard graduate (daughter of a Harvard professor) who also taught writing at Harvard prior to writing for the New Yorker. I find the book insightful, non-sensationalistic and well-intentioned.
The book describes a woefully inadequate mental health system at Harvard, an institutional arrogance in Harvard's attempt to "spin" this horrible murder/suicide for damage control, and dishonesty and intimidation on the part of several Harvard administrators in their handling of it.
I wonder if Harvard has substantially improved on their counseling and mental health care since then?

If the murderer had been seen more frequently than once a month, as she asked her counselor in a letter, by someone appropriately trained (she was seen by a part-time health service employee with an EdD), and been diagnosed and treated more intensively, possibly with medication for depression, then the murder and suicide might have been prevented.

So I see that the Harvard News Office published an announcement about changes in the mental health system following the recommendations of its Student Mental Health Task Force:
"The final report of the Student Mental Health Task Force made nine recommendations, the first four of which were presented in the interim report in February.
"Create a seamless system of mental health and counseling services for students. Both of the main portals into mental health care at the University - the Bureau of Study Counsel and University Health Services Mental Health Service - are now integrated and report to the new director of University Counseling, Academic Support, and Mental Health Services.
"Hire a new leader for expanded mental health services at the University. Barreira assumes the duties as director of University Counseling, Academic Support, and Mental Health Services July 1.
"Increase the number of mental health service providers. A preliminary survey of student intake at the Bureau was conducted and is now being analyzed. Further manpower assessment is planned.
"Ensure that all mental health facilities are student-friendly. Consultations are underway to explore bringing the bureau building up to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) code for a mental health clinic. An assessment of more suitable space options for UHS, aimed at enhancing student privacy and confidentiality, is beginning.
"Improve availability of information and resources in the Freshman Yard and the residential houses.
"Enhance the support, supervision, and mentoring of student peer support groups.
"Improve mental health and academic support for graduate students.
"Improve mental health and academic support for international students.
"Appoint an advisory group on mental health."
Does anyone with Harvard connections have comments as to how this is working so far?
|By Jamimom (Jamimom) on Friday, September 17, 2004 - 12:15 am: Edit
Many colleges are not well prepared to deal with emotional and mental issues. Harvard is not alone by a long shot. THere are suicides and murders at many colleges that just do not get the press.
I have always encouraged my kids to visit the mental health centers at their colleges so that they know the resources there before they get into too much trouble. But I certainly shudder at the though of being dependent on the college to provide help for any of my kids if they had a real problem. And none of my kids went to the same school as another.
It is really still the job of the parent to keep and eye and ear open if things are going poorly for their child at college particularly in health issues, both mental and physical. Two very sad cases I know, involve parents who really knew their kids were struggling mentally, and did not intervene, so hopeful were they that things would work out. In retrospect, it was pretty clear that something was severely wrong.
And the cases I have seen where the college dealt with the after mass of such tragedies, they were very poorly done. Simon's Rock, MIT, Johns Hopkins have all had terrible tragedies among the students, and they did not come out smelling like roses.
|By Mlee (Mlee) on Friday, September 17, 2004 - 01:40 pm: Edit
Agreed, Jamimom, Harvard is not unique in this. I'm aware of the Shin tragedy at MIT, etc. Agree, too, that parents need to maintain vigilance - hard, I imagine, for parents of international students as was the case of the murderer/suicide.
I'm interested in the institutional differences in culture/community that may contribute to students having problems. (Also interested in how well these colleges are addressing the mental health needs of their students. Yale, for example is cited as having a better mental health system in place, partly because they have a clinical psychology program, and a Yale person was on Harvard's Student Mental Health Task Force.)
For example, a student wrote this in the Harvard Crimson:
"But in addressing mental health here, it would be careless not to ask as well: What about Harvard contributes to mental illness? Administrators often shy away from this approach�instead choosing to focus on the more palatable public-relations response that the sharp rise of mental illness at Harvard can be attributed to scientific improvements, which have allowed more mental illness sufferers to achieve admittance to Harvard than ever before. While certainly a factor, this trend does not explain why so many undergraduates encounter mental health problems for the very first time after reaching college.
"I offer my own analysis for the Task Force: The Harvard undergraduate community is, by and large, rather unwelcoming. First-year meals in Annenberg Hall are marked by cliques and social networking. Vertical entryways, as opposed to hallways, discourage even casual interactions among acquaintances. Even volunteer student organizations, steeped in traditions older than any of us, do their best to appear imposing and exclusive. Although some notable exceptions exist, Harvard�s social and extracurricular life is less than conducive to establishing a genuine support community. Indeed, social contacts at Harvard tend to be superficial and self-serving."
I'd really be interested in hearing what people like Northstarmom or Marite think about these issues. My kid is in excellent mental health, but I'd rather he avoid going to someplace that is lacking in community and has a poor safety net.
|By Interesteddad (Interesteddad) on Friday, September 17, 2004 - 02:23 pm: Edit
>> The Harvard undergraduate community is, by and large, rather unwelcoming.
I think that's a fair assessement. Relative to the other elite private colleges and universities, Harvard would probably be at the low end of the "supportive undergrad community" scale.
According to my wife, it's not the students, most of whom are pretty normal, friendly college students. Although the percentage of kids falling outside that norm and pursuing their own agendas may be a tad high.
Rather, I think it's partly size: At 6500 undergrads, Harvard is one of the larger private universities.
It's partly geography: the campus is very decentralized without a lot of gathering places where community bonds can develop. As a rule, you'll probably find less sense of "community" at any major urban school, especially one that does not have a self-contained "oasis" campus.
It's partly university culture: Harvard is a huge commerical endeavor with interests, fiefdoms, and bureaucracies spreading in many directions. Just look at first change implemented by the "Mental Health Task Force", rearranging departmental reporting structures (can you say, "turf battles"?). The administration is not known for its focus on undergrad quality of life, although, in fairness, Dean Gross is very well liked. On top of that, Harvard feels little or no competitive pressure from the marketplace. They could house freshmen in underground caves and still get their 80% yield.
Contributing a bit may be that so many kids choose Harvard because "it's Harvard" and may not really know much about the school or have any real basis for an individual "good fit". It's probably not the right school for some students, which leads to its own set of mental tensions. After all, how can "Harvard" not be the right school? It must be me!
Freshmen are somewhat left to find their own community -- many find a comfortable "home" in one of the many clubs or activities. The vast majority do find their own community and enjoy four happy years in Cambridge.

I have read posts concerning whether or not to tell a university during the admissions process whether or not a student had received treatment for depression and other diagnosed disorders. I haven't contributed any thoughts as I feel I am out of my element on this one. I have been very interested in the answers that were given by you CC posters that have personal experience. I am struck most by your candor and feel that it is a breath of fresh air. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but we often sweep it under the carpets as "family business" which perpetuates the cycle. Thank you, Jamimom and others for sharing from your experiences with friends and family.
I know that the colleges admit students every year that are depressed or have been diagnosed with other mental and learning situations. I don't think in my sons case that the question was ever asked during the registration process whether or not he was undergoing treatment for anything. I'm not sure with FERPA that the schools can even ask. Given that, I don't know how a school can head off every possible tragedy. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Students can be offered resources, but it they won't go, or if they get off medication, what is the school to do? I agree with Jamimom, parental intervention would seem their best hope at that point.
|By Marite (Marite) on Friday, September 17, 2004 - 02:52 pm: Edit
My S is not a Harvard student, so I cannot comment on how much support Harvard undergrads get (I was a graduate student, so my experience was quite different). I agree with a lot of what ID says. It is very possible that some students come to Harvard without really thinking whether this is the best place for them because "It's Harvard." I also think that Harvard's policy of looking for the unique student may yield a few misses along the hits. Just a speculation on my part.
I have met many Harvard students, and they have come in all types. Some students love the fact that Harvard is part of a wider world, that they can hop on the T and be involved in their community service or go to a concert or a play in Boston. For others, being part of a more cohesive and less open college community is more important. If this is not something they considered deeply before matriculating, it can come as a disappointment.
There is also a tendency to gripe about Harvard that does not seem to apply elsewhere. Somebody posted about the ratings given to Harvard and MIT on studentreviews.com. On surrounding city, Harvard was given a B or B-. MIT received an A-. Nobody is going to convince me that the MIT neighborhood is more pleasant than Harvard. So I wonder why Harvard students (however unrepresentative these were) gave their own neighborhood a lower ranking? Having said this, there are plenty of students at Harvard who are well-adjusted and very happy to be there.

>> I don't think in my sons case that the question was ever asked during the registration process whether or not he was undergoing treatment for anything.
That would typically be asked on the health questionaire.
If I had a kid in that situation, I would probably arrange an informal communication with the head of mental health services with some background information and encourage my son or daughter to go meet 'n greet that person during orientation just to have some familiarity with the resources that are available.
Using those resources certainly involves no shame. The head of mental health services at my daughter's school told the parents on an orientation tour that they meet with 36% of the students at least once over the course of four years at the school and that they strongly encourage students to turn to them as a stress-relief mechanism. The vast majority of these encounters involve nothing more than lending a ear during a rough patch, but it gives the staff an opportunity to (hopefully) catch more serious issues.
|By Jamimom (Jamimom) on Friday, September 17, 2004 - 05:11 pm: Edit
If you have a child who is already showing signs of emotional, mental, issues even before going to college, you should not only get heavy counseling for the child the summer before he goes away and start the transition to a therapist in the university area. Because mental illnesses start to show the symptoms at about age 18, going away to college is prime time for these problems to occur. Most of the time they can be resolved. With less stress and agony if you get some help and have an infrastructure available.
Both my niece and nephew had issues due the turbulence of their essential years and desertion by their parents and we were on alert for that. S1 had unresolved maturity issues (still does) and some depression problems. D ended up dating a boy with mental problems that ended up on her plate as his behaviour degenerated. I have fought depression for over 30 years, and it cost me a semester in college before I learned to wrestle that demon down. Something I have to live with for the rest of my life, I guess, but now I can deal with it.
Even kids who do not have any underlying mental health issues can hit a rough patch when things don't go right. A good attitude about emotional turbulence and some pointers on who to see, where to go can keep the every day issues from interfering with everyday life.
I am a big proponent in learning to deal with issues and not numb the pain too much or sweep the whole thing under the rug. There are times that it is appropriate to be outraged, sad, angry, alone, etc. It's learning to deal with the emotion, with that feeling that is important. I try to talk about this with my kids. If you fail a test, it's not just all right. You should feel terrible. But how to get through it? What helps you? Does it help or exhaserbate the situation? What channels help YOU deal with bad feelings and situation? Let's find a good channel for such situations. What not to do.
Suicide is something that some kids take too casually. I have seen many sympathy seeking attempts. It should be very clear what happens to a person who talks, threatens, attempts suicide, and if the person truly has thoughts about it, this is something worth taking time off to discuss and work out.
Many of us struggle with our feelings and getting help to resolve difficulties is not only important when problems occur, it is important to know the resources available before they occur.

I appreciate the comments that everyone has added. Wouldn't it be nice to see "supportive undergrad community" on a USNWR rating scale? I think colleges have a responsibility to try to create safe environments for their students. This would include keeping a lookout for depression, a common condition, which by its very nature may make the sufferer incapable of seeking appropriate help alone, and having accessible counseling resources available. I like the suggestion of Jamimom of making the counseling services well known to a student in advance of any need - here's the laundry, the bank, the library, the bookstore, the pizza joint, the gym, the counselors.
|By Marite (Marite) on Saturday, September 18, 2004 - 06:31 am: Edit
Colleges DO tell students about mental health resources, counseling services such as writing centers, bureaux of study skills, etc... as part of orientation. Such information is also easily available in any student handbook.
As for depression, it is very difficult to detect if someone is determined to hide it.
If there is the least hint that a student is already suffering from depression, it is better not to apply to schools that are pressure cookers and that, by their very urban nature and fairly large size, cannot provide the kind of nurturing environment that you think colleges should provide. The young woman who committed suicide at MIT clearly had had issues prior to attending MIT; and while MIT seems to have neglected to pick up on signs that she was at risk, I also have to wonder about the wisdom of her parents' decision to let her attend MIT when she was already rather fragile.

A relevant Newsweek article - hope this link doesn't violate CC's policy:
|By Robyrm (Robyrm) on Saturday, September 18, 2004 - 06:52 pm: Edit
I completely agree with you regarding the MIT student. Her parents, like many I would guess, failed to see "the whole child" and possibly related to cultural factors, had a different understanding in general of when "stress" becomes unhealthful. Everything I read about the situation suggests MIT was very transparent about this. Charles Vest, the MIT president who is about to retire, seems to have taken this issue on as a mission- he impresses as a person of highest integrity and he has not backed down from this. Most information about events like this gets reported in the first few days, but the MIT story had legs- with the article in the NYTimes Sunday mag, for example. I think it important to know that the school hasn't let the issue drop once it is out of the public eye.
I am interested in what other parents have received directly (not through their students) about mental health services available. My son's college sent out a brochure mailed to parents outlining the procedures and personnel related to mental health services, and urging parents to make sure the student is aware of these issues (it was a signficant topic during orientation as well according to my son's schedule). I thought it a proactive approach and was astonished by the depth of services available in a small town.
|By Interesteddad (Interesteddad) on Saturday, September 18, 2004 - 08:52 pm: Edit
>> I am interested in what other parents have received directly (not through their students) about mental health services available.
We received a Parents' Handbook detailing every support function of the college with contact information.
More interesting was the parents' orientation tour. Originally added to the drop-off day agenda to get parents out of their kids rooms, I found it to be worthwhile. Instead of touring academic sites, an assistant dean walked us around campus, stopping at each major support facility for some remarks from the appropriate person. For example, we visited the security office and heard from the head of security. The head of the alumni office told us about student-alumni contacts. The academic deans office told us about the student mentoring and writing associate programs. The career counseling office told us about that.
The most interesting stop was a visit to the campus health center where we heard from the nurse practitioner head of health services -- an honest overview covering everything from illness to birth control to alcohol treatment. Then, we heard from the head of mental health services, again an honest overview covering the range from routine stress management counseling to serious mental illness intervention.
I particularly liked comments made while reviewing the fact that Pennsylvania state law prohibits them from releasing information about 18+ year olds without the student's permission. However, they said that they use their judgement and will often pick up the phone, dial the number, and ask the student, "don't you think it would be a good idea to talk to your parents?"
They didn't duck any hard questions. My wife asked about the last suicide on campus. The psychologist gave the date (1995) and volunteered that he had been involved in two more serious interventions since then. I think the campus culture and certain structural policies (like housing) tend to catch kids that are having trouble.
I had a very good feeling about the health facility and staff, actually a good feeling about all of the support systems on campus -- starting with the Dean of the College who had spent the summer reading freshmen application essays and correctly identified two of my daughter's essays when my wife introduced herself.
|By Robyrm (Robyrm) on Saturday, September 18, 2004 - 09:39 pm: Edit
The tour sounds unusually thoughtful...in general. I wonder if I missed something similar thinking it was "just the same" as the tour we had had months earlier. The whole "in loco parentis" issue seems to be such a big deal these days..somehow I never thought about it when I was 18!
One huge issue, of course, is that mental health services for children and teens are woefully inadequate in general. This behooves colleges to do more- and to be proactive, since there are certainly kids being admitted with unidentified and untreated diagnoses.

Desperate for distractions - tumblr, twitter, and metafilter are out
I need distractions from the end of the world as we know it, and I have to go zero-tolerance on my go-to scrolling of tumblr, twitter, and metafilter.

I am about to launch a project that I think will get a lot of attention. I have personal/business social media accounts already, but do I need a second set of social media accounts just for this project to keep my personal/business ones from getting cluttered?
Which Social Media is "Best"?
II am trying to get a handle on web content and which content has, overall, the best stickiness. Sites like YouTube, Tumblr, Flickr are, as near as I can tell, mostly visual. Blog and microblogging sites like Wordpress and Twitter are word based. Quora, Reddit and Metafilter are information sharing communities. Podcasts and music sites like MySpace or Soundcloud are, for the most part, sound focused. And then you have sites like Facebook and Google+ that are trying to combine the best of all of them. [more inside]
What's the blogging platform I want if I don't really like to blog?
I am too disorganized to blog consistently, but I'm also way too verbose for Twitter. Is there a blogging platform that exists somewhere between these two extremes? Is there a platform that's kind of like Facebook as a blog? Do I want a Tumblr? [more inside]
Tumblr themes with Facebook/Twitter buttons
Which tumblr themes automatically attach "Share This on Facebook" and "Share This on Twitter" buttons to every individual post? I'm interested in both free and premium themes. Bonus points if you can point me to a real-life Tumblr blog that uses the particular theme.
Is it wrong to follow/friend a job applicant?
I'm hiring, and in addition to interviewing, checking references (official and un-), etc., I'd like to see how candidates are using Twitter, Facebook, and/or Tumblr. Facility with this stuff isn't a primary requirement of the job, but it's helpful; I also think it's a good way to gauge a candidate's judgement and to see how they manage their public face. On the other hand, it feels like following or friending is weird, or possibly an invasion of privacy. Is it?
What to do with all these web apps?
What should I do with Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Livejournal, Flickr, Tumblr and my own website? [more inside]
How do I filter my entire digital life into one personal domain?
I'm merging my digital life into one conglomerate website. I have a wordpress blog, tumblr, twitter page, blogspot blog, and a page for my music project being joined on my new domain. Can I do this without making my site busy or ugly? [more inside]
Forget Web 3.0...I'm jumping straight to Web 5.0.
I'm looking for a way to have my Movable Type blog updated when I update my status on Twitter or post a link/image/other to my Tumblr page. I can't figure out what to do, though. [more inside]

Impressions Of Egypt
(with comments)
This week's country up for discussion is Egypt.
It's slightly more than three times the size of New Mexico, and is the 15th most populous country in the world. It has pyramids and the Great Sphinx.
Permalink | Posted in Country Impressions |
- By will. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @08:34am:Worth seeing. Go there.
Ancient stuff all over the place. Made me wonder whether what we're doing now(buildings, art) will last 2, 3, 4 or 5000 years. The earliest stuff that I saw (&/or touched, walked on) dated back 5000 years. I suspect that the (for example) iPod might have been forgotten by the year 5999.
Not very expensive. Safe enough these days (easier to take pictures there than in, for example, White Plains, NY).
I visited the hotel and snuck (with heavy tipping) into the room where Agatha Christie wrote (partially) Death on the Nile. The room was not "spartan" but surprisingly simple. Just one room and a bath. Big & comfortable but not "The Presidential Suite" style
Spent one New Years in a Nubian village on an island on the Nile some place (not a touristy thing; I knew someone with family there). They (we) danced the night away to traditional and modern music (depending on the mood of the musicians). Adults, kids, camels, goats and pets all took part.

- By Mean Jean. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @09:12am:Mr. Mean, first wife and two kids lived in Cairo for 3 years (back in the early 80's) and really liked it.
He says one of his fondest memories was of the trees planted along the streets. One street would have all one kind of tree, the next street a different tree, etc. In the spring when they bloomed all each street was a different color. He rode to work on a little moped and the petals would fall on him.
They brought their pet dog and she was stolen immediately. He hopes it was for re-sale, but suspects it was for food.
They used to drive out to the pyramids and have picnics.
- By ~Q~. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @09:44am:Egypt also had a Anwar Sadat, and went backwards several dacades when he was murdered.
- By Mean Jean. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @11:12am:The Shah of Iran put his children in the same school as Mr. Mean's children. Mr. Mean said it was disconcerting to see armed men standing guard around the school all day and outside certain classrooms.
- By Bisbonian. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @11:40am:I spent five months just outside of Cairo in 1990. The Egyptians are my favorite people anywhere...outgoing, friendly, funny. They see humor in most things, including themselves. The Cairo museum was amazing...stepping over the dusty piles of 3000 year old stuff to see the 4000 year old stuff! The main downtown marketplace is basically a 4000 year old outdoor mall. Merchants are conversant in Arabic, English, German, French, Italian...and familiar with the daily exchange rate for the many currencies. Incredibly bright folks. Of the 16 million people there, 15 million are standing on the curb trying to get across the street through the insane traffic...looking for a chance to dart across. I kept involuntarily grabbing the dashboard in front of me, and the driver told me, "You should relax...I am a very good driver. And besides, I am very lucky!"
- By jaf. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @12:37pm:When someone mentions Egypt I think of The Innocents Abroad, Whirling Dervishes, and huge meteorite impact craters - which might be what set the Dervishes to whirling.
- By PoohPoohBear. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @12:42pm:I think of typhoid and cholera early mid 80's. Now I think of anti western and anti semites.
- By major_danny. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @03:42pm:Mean Jean, does Mr. Mean ever read this blog? Wondering.
- By Mary. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @04:00pm:I've worked with professors who spent a good deal of time in Egypt and had only good things to say about it. It's one of the places I'd like very much to visit.
And Q, you're SO right; I remember when Sadat was assassinated - one of the professors I was working with commented that that day was the end of Egypt. He was a good man.
- By Mean Jean. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @04:15pm:Yes Mr. Mean reads it every now and then, but he hates to make comments. We have a blog that is supposed to be a joint effort, but I've written about 2,000 entries and he's written 3. The part of this I find kinda strange is that when you're with him in person you can't get him to shut up.
- By will. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @07:36pm:I didn't find them anti-semitic at all, really. But I was in peoples' homes, at street level, not at the international/political/world level. There was some doubt about the Israeli political policies; but not much issue about Israelis personally. They seemed mostly concerned about peoples' perception of them, the price of bread, how much tea cost, and whether you were enjoying your time in Egypt.
But, to be fair, I was there with a troupe of artists. And being one of the 3 guys accompanying a group of 25 non-professional belly dancers I might not have had the most typical touristy experience. We met a lot of really ordinary people; who, like most of us, care not a whit for things much beyond their own back yard.
- By Juls. Comment posted 25-Mar-2006 @09:43pm:I lived in Alexandria for July/August of 2004 and will be spending the summer there again this year. I find myself getting "Egypt-sick" when I realize how unfriendly many American cities are. Egyptians separate American people from American government. Since the presidential election was looming we talked politics a lot and never with any anti-semitic/anti-western overtones. Most people were very supportive of America in general (Egypt receives the 2nd largest amount of foreign aid), but not of Bush. Signs of trouble in the country are all around, though, from unfinished apartment complexes filled with dwellers, to people dashing across the Corniche instead of using the expensive, government installed pedestrian tunnels, money is misspent everywhere.
During the week I had 5 hours a day of Arabic, but on the weekends we traveled to Cairo, Sharm el Sheikh (very, very Western), Luxor and Aswan. Pics can be found here.

- By S_C. Comment posted 26-Mar-2006 @12:54am:I visited Egypt on business a few years ago. My company told me that I couldn't drive a car there. I'd have to have a car with a driver (which was really an excellent idea). My first impression was of how crowded the country is. We drove through a small city north of Cairo. Quite crowded and not aesthetically appealing at all. I'd never heard of this small city but learned that its population was 1.5 Million people. Imagine a U.S. city of that size that no one has heard of. A difficult concept there.
I was told that I should have my driver off the roads after dark. Reason is that the cities are so crowded that many people are homeless. They can't sleep in the fields because of snakes, etc. The pavement retains the heat when the evenings are cool. So they sleep on the road.
Just goes to prove that you never know who you'll run across in Egypt.

Do you believe that desire and contentment can coexist? I brought this question up to a large group of family and friends at Thanksgiving yesterday. It opened up a fascinating philosophical debate which revealed a lot about each individual's character traits, hierarchy of needs and stage of life. What do you desire most in life? Are you content?
Desire is defined as "a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen." Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher who believed that human desire is the motivation for all human action. Contentment is marked by the complacency and satisfaction that follows fulfilling a desire or letting it go. In contrast to Hobbes, Robert Bruce Raup (an American philosopher) asserted that the human need for complacency (i.e. inner tranquility) was the "hidden spring" of human behavior.
In my opinion both philosophers are right, and are actually saying the same thing. Desire and contentment are inherently linked like the sides of a coin. Together they are the driving force of human behavior.
Survival is a perpetual cycle of being driven to fulfill a desire/need and being rewarded by the contentment that follows. Reward-mechanisms permeate our biology to make sure that we never stay content for too long. We are hunter-gatherers hard-wired for conquest and pursuit. One of the problems in a modern society is that most of our base needs are met so we create conquests and manufacture desires. This is a particular problem for high-achievers, powerful leaders and monogamous couples. How many people in the public eye and your personal life have you seen flush away long-term contentment for the short-term rush of desire?
The famous Peggy Lee song, Is That All There Is? was actually based on an existential essay by Thomas Mann called Disillusionment. Many of the people I know who have achieved the American Dream suffer from what I call "Is this all there is syndrome". How can we solve this? One important key is to realize that focusing too much on what David C. McClelland described as a "Need for Achievement" in terms of wealth, status or glory often leaves people feeling malcontent.
Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs offers many clues on how to balance desire and contentment holistically. The pyramid below can be used like a checklist to take inventory of your life and assess your current desires and levels of fulfillment. In what area do you lack contentment at this point of your life? By working on each building block consistently you can keep your desires balanced and avoid feeling dissatisfied once you've achieved contentment in one area of your life.

Why don't Electronic Cigarettes use triple A batteries??
Good question, but it is all down to the science. This blog post is a rough guide to lithium batteries –and there is a little tip in here on how to extend your battery life- so read on, I will do my best to make this as pain free as possible.
The reason e-cigs use Lithium batteries are because they are feisty little monsters – they are small but hold a lot of power. They discharge at a steady rate, only falling off dramatically at the end. The majority of lithium batteries have a protection circuits; these prevent power surges and chemical reactions that causes the battery to be unable to hold its charge.
Even though lithium e-cig batteries are re-chargeable -they do lose capacity over time, which is why they eventually die, and one of the factors involved in this loss is temperature. The best way to keep them running for longer is to keep them at a cool 20 degrees – (room temp really) which is easier said than done when they warm up a tad with some of the bigger (titan) e-cigs. But if this is done, the battery will lose about 10% of its capacity over a 12 week period. Also – only partially re-charge them, don't re-charge to the max.
All this information has been taken from the Totally Wicked forum, I have plagiarised the hell out of a post by Crossbow – he has pasted lots of lovely graphs that explain very well the workings of these little monsters –and plenty of folk have chipped in with their knowledge too.

We tried to call home but our cell phone doesn't get reception out here, which is no surprise as this place is super old school. But luckily we don't get any commercials during the game, but rather the great commentary of three Australian dudes, who supposedly played in the NFL, but have no idea what the hell is going on. It truly is a one of a kind experience
12:05 PM (Please not we are 13 and a HALF hours ahead)
OK Willie Parker just ran off a 75 yard Touchdown to start the second half. We will have to see if Amy's Seahawks can come back from 14-3 deficit. If not we will be off to look at Kangaroos, Wallabies, penguins, and lizards. It could be worse; we could be driving Tall Paul home later.
12:25PM (This is for all you drunks that were playing Quarters instead of watching the game) Ben just throw an interception at the goal line and they dude almost ran it back for the touchdown but ran out of gas. I really wonder what he cleaning crew next-door thought was going on in room 11, as we were screaming and jumping up and down. But I am sure they were will taking about it at the pub tonight as its got to be the most exciting thing to happen today on Kangaroo Island. Well we got a game for now and two more beers and if needed a bottle and a half of wine.
The fourth quarter is starting which means we are now cracking open the West End Export Bitter beers from the mini-bar. God help us. Well we all now know what happened (at least most people do) in the game. We were both very surprised that the refs didn't win the MVP as there were by far the best player for the Steelers but still again it was an impressive run for the Steelers and I have the feeling that Seattle will be back again. So to next Super Bowl, which I think we will be in Belize for, all a good night. We are off to hang out on the beach and check out some wildlife.
We decided to actually take one of the much touted nocturnal tours and headed out about 8:30pm to see some wildlife. We had not seen much at this point. We met with our guide and saw some kangaroos and many wallabies (small kangaroos basically.) We also checked out some fairy penguins and saw them mulching - a process of getting all new feathers that takes about 2 weeks ...with no food. We headed back to our hotel on the roads everyone told us to be extremely careful on as we would see many animals. After seeing one Wallabie, we were back at our hotel at about midnight and ready for bed.

BEEF Magazine and Earth Day 2010: The situation is this: you can either tell your story or let someone else do it, and you might not like their depiction. So, with April 22 being the 40th observance of Earth Day, beef producers need to "get personal" in telling their environmental story to friends and acquaintances.
This Earth Day, 2010, take the time to communicate by email with others in your email contact list. Compose a short and positive message on the importance that protecting the environment holds for you. The idea isn't to tell your life story, it's to provide a short affirmation that you are in the livestock production business and you care about your animals, your planet and your livelihood, and that you are an able and responsible steward of these resources.
This resource has a list of quick facts producers can use in sharing the environmental story of farmers and ranchers. In addition, this button also provides links to positive videos and websites where a wealth of information can be found on this topic. Be sure to check this tool out and join me in using these resources to spread the positive news to the world. Let's start today. How do you take care of the environment every single day? Share your story in the comments section below.
BEEF Daily Quick Fact: U.S. beef producers needed 37 million fewer cattle in 2008 to produce the same amount of meat as in 1975, That is thanks to increased efficiency (more meat/head of cattle) that has led to less waste and less required feed.

There is an isomorphism of with in which . Find the element in to which must correspond for .
After arriving at an answer, I noticed that I said there was no answer for all of the even m values, so I'm not sure if I am correct.
To figure out the isomorphism, I used the example in the problem,
I reasoned that , in which that 1 corresponds to the exponent of zeta.
I used this to look for the other values asked in the problem.
For m=0, , but , so I said that for m=0, there is no corresponding zeta function.
For m=3 (skipping ahead), , , so .
I think I'm doing something incorrectly. Because since this is an isomorphism, and therefore a one-to-one correspondence, shouldn't all m=0,1,2,3,4,5,6 in map to a member of ? My method is producing answers for only the odd numbers.
Any help is extremely appreciated.
well the isomorphism in question isn't the "usual" (or "obvious") isomorphism. but just looking at Z7 as a group, it should be clear that 4 is a generator.
so should correspond to 4+4, which as you pointed out, is 1 (in Z7).
what drexel28 is getting at, is that "powers" (repeated group operations) in the 7th roots of unity (which inherits its group operation from complex multiplication) correspond to "multiples" in Z7 (which has a group operation of addtion modulo 7).
it's not what we are used to, but in the group <Z7,+> " " means 4+4, or as is sometimes written (2)4 (this turns out to work out to be the same as multiplication modulo 7, but a word of caution: (2)4 doesn't really mean "two times 4" it means "4+4" (4 added to itself).). the reason for this caveat, is that you can actually write something like (8)4, meaning "4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4" (mod 7), which makes sense in Z7, but 8 is not an element of Z7.

By NYDaily News / Michael Sheridan
It was one whale of a tale… literally.
A couple off the coast of South Africa enjoying a beautiful day of sailing had a terrifying run in with a massive mammal that left them unharmed, but their craft seriously damaged.
"We'd spotted it about 100 meters away and thought that was the end of it," said Paloma Werner, who was on the boat with her boyfriend and business partner, Ralph Mothes. "Then suddenly it was right up beside us."
The couple, experienced sailors who operate the Cape Town Sailing Academy together, had noticed the whale as they cruised through Table Bay, near Cape Town harbor, when it approached their vessel.
"I assumed it would go underneath the boat, but instead it sprang out of the sea," the 50-year-old said.
"I thought surely it can't be on a collision course with us," said 59-year-old Mothes.
The Southern right whale, an endangered species common to those waters which can weight up to 60 tons, shot into the air and smashed into the Intrepid, a 32-foot yacht with a steel hull.
"We were very lucky to get through it, as the sheer weight of the thing was huge," said Werner.
Mothes, who was piloting the boat, ducked behind the wheel as the whale thrashed around on the deck and destroyed their mast, before finally slipping back into the water.
"Miraculously nothing happened to us," Werner told CNN.
The moment was photographed by a tourist from Botswana, who was aboard a nearby boat. The couple used their engine to pilot the broken vessel back to shore.
Despite being frightened for their lives, and their boat, the couple aren't holding a grudge against the beast from below the sea.
"He was just having fun," Wener said. "They have very poor eyesight and obviously if they're breaching visibility is very poor. The whale did not intend to attack us."
According to South Africa's Independent, officials are investigating whether or not one or more boats had been antagonizing the sea creature.

Hey lauramorrison93.
Basically since you have three equations and four unknowns, you will be able to reduce your system to one un-known (or one as a function of the other).
Its like the situation in linear algebra where you reduce a matrix to get the simplest solution but in your case you have non-linear functions of the variables.
An example is say
x + y = 1
2x + y = 2
We let y = 2 - 2x and sub into 1 giving
x + 2 - 2x = 1 which gives solution x = 1
Its exactly the same thing except you have non linear terms.

Sallie Mae to Move Corporate Headquarters to Delaware
DOVER, Del. (July1, 2010) – Governor Jack Markell and Secretary Alan Levin announced today that Sallie Mae, the nation's leading provider of student loans and administrator of college savings plans, will relocate its corporate headquarters from Reston, Va to Delaware. The decision is expected to add a significant number of new jobs to Delaware's workforce over the next five years.
"Sallie Mae found in Delaware a workforce that understands their industry and is ready to get to work. When these new jobs arrive, they'll find a government invested in new job creation and committed to moving quickly to grab opportunities for growth," Markell said. "We welcome their expansion in Delaware and their decision to make us their corporate headquarters."
"We appreciate the business spirit of officials at the state and local levels and that Delaware has made clear it will be a great place to grow our business," said Albert L. Lord, chief executive officer, Sallie Mae.
Sallie Mae currently employs approximately 900 individuals at their Newark facility, located at 300 Continental Drive. The new headquarters will have no impact on the operations or employment at that site. Sallie Mae expects to begin to occupy a new headquarters facility March 2011 and hire additional local employees over the next five years.
"Sallie Mae's decision to relocate their corporate headquarters to Delaware recognizes that the financial services industry continues to be a powerful contributor to our state," said DEDO Secretary Alan Levin. "The headquarters will create jobs and will add tremendous benefit to Delaware in the years to come."
The Delaware Economic Development Office will recommend a Delaware Strategic Fund Grant equal to 3 percent, or a maximum of $3 million, of a potential $100 million capital investment by Sallie Mae at the new site. An additional performance-based grant may be awarded based on the number of new jobs created. These recommendations will be reviewed by the Council on Development Finance later this year. The company may qualify for the Delaware Division of Revenue's New Economy Tax Credit Program in lieu of the Delaware Strategic Fund, depending on the number and level of jobs that it ultimately creates.
Additionally, Sallie Mae has agreed to make a best effort to subcontract collection services from business providers located in Kent County, Del.
"Bringing Sallie Mae's corporate headquarters to Delaware represents another stunning achievement for the Governor and his economic development team," said U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.). "We were happy to play a supporting role in the success of this project and look forward to working with Sallie Mae as they continue to grow their business in the State of Delaware."
For more information on how to apply for a job with Sallie Mae, please visit http://www.salliemae.com/about/careers_sm/careers_at_sallie_mae.htm or call 1-866-833-3847.
Additional Quotes:
U.S. Senator Kaufman (D-Del.): "It is really good news that Sallie Mae is bringing significant high-paying jobs to Delaware. Clearly jobs are the most important thing all of us can be working on right now. Congratulations to Governor Markell and his team."
U.S. Representative Mike Castle (R-Del.): "Delaware has a tremendous amount to offer, and I am thrilled with Sallie Mae's decision to move their headquarters to our State, after already opening a new operating center in 2008. With many Delawareans looking for work, Sallie Mae's decision to expand its presence here is welcome news. Sallie Mae cares about the community and has participated in recent DE Job Fairs and Student Financial Aid Fairs. From working together in both the Financial Services and Education Committees in Congress, I know that they are a strong team who we will be proud to have in our state."
New Castle County Executive Christopher Coons (D): "For the past several years, Sallie Mae has been a valued employer in New Castle County through their credit operations center in Newark. The County is proud to assist Sallie Mae as they locate their headquarters in Delaware, resulting in the creation of significant additional jobs in our state."

Wrestling has been filled with them over the years. In fact many wrestling bookers seem to have gotten it into their heads that major surprises and shocking heel turns instantly equal ratings and renewed interest in the product.
Some of these swerves have been good. Some have only been average.
And a handful have been absolutely disastrous. These are the ones I intend to focus on.
Factoring in just how awful and counter-productive these angles were to their promotions, as well as how flat-out bad they just were, let's examine the seven worst swerves in wrestling history.

Tata Motors had announced its plans to introduce a diesel version of the Nano but its plans have not yet seen the light of the day. On the other hand, Maruti Suzuki seems to have bagged the opportunity and announced that it will be launching a new model fitted with a diesel engine and that this new model will be included in the money-spinning mini/micro car segment.
Suzuki has already developed the 2 cylinder, 800-cc diesel Powertrain according to several sources in the automobile industry. In the year 2014, Maruti will launch the global small car which is now code-named as YL7. This mini car from Maruti Suzuki will be the first one to feature Suzuki's self-developed 800 cc diesel engine. This could mean that the Zen Estilo as well as the A-Star could be replaced by the YL7, which will be known as the cheapest and also the smallest car in India which comes with a diesel engine option.
Currently, the demand for cars in the Indian market is at an all-time-low and Maruti Suzuki wants to unlock increase in its car sales volumes which may well be the reason why it is launching the small car in the entry-level segment. India's passenger car market comprises of around 2.7 million buyers and mini cars constitute a staggering 21% of the total market in India. However, the segment was yet to see a diesel model. The YL7 thus will be the first diesel car in this segment.
A reliable source for the YL7 development commented that Maruti Suzuki is on fast-track progress with the work on the diesel engine for the small car advancing at a good speed. The source added that the YL7's petrol will be first launched during the Auto Expo and the diesel variant's production will only commence during the later part of this year. Maruti Suzuki will export the YL7 to several international markets from India. In some countries, it will sell the YL7 as the new Alto.
Media reports have also hinted towards the fact that engineers at Maruti Suzuki are involved in the development of the 800cc diesel engine at the parent plant in Suzuki Japan. The new diesel engine is likely to churn peak power of 40 bhp while the fuel economy is stated to be around 30 kmpl. If this is true, then the engine will be the first in India to deliver this fuel efficiency in the diesel vehicle segment.
Tata is also testing Nano Diesel which will be fitted with a 800 cc turbocharged, 2 cylinder engine. There are rumors that the Nano Diesel will deliver a mileage of an astounding 40 kmpl.
While the Nano Diesel was expected to be launched in early 2013, the small engine E2 from Suzuki is likely to take some more time for the development as the engineers are presently working at it. It is expected that E2 will be completely developed in another 2 years time for the Indian roads.
This means that Maruti Suzuki will not be launching the mini diesel car fitted with E2 800cc diesel engine anytime before 2014 and will likely launch by early 2015. The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 model will likely be getting the 800cc diesel engine apart from A-Star.

UPDATE 11.30am: Kids who are given only breastmilk in their first six months have an increased risk of developing an allergy to nuts, research has found.
A joint research project between the Australian National University's medical school and the ACT Health Directorate investigated a link between breastfeeding and nut allergies using information from the parents of children starting primary school in the ACT.
The Kindergarten Health Check Questionnaire asked parents if their child had a nut allergy, and about their baby's feeding habits in the first six months of life.
Researchers said the study showed that rates of nut allergies in children in the ACT were increasing and those who were breastfed were more likely to have a nut allergy.
The study's author, Marjan Kljakovic, said 3.9 per cent of children starting school in the ACT had a parent-reported nut allergy - almost twice the rate of British children.
The likelihood of developing a nut allergy was 1.5 times higher in children who were solely breastfed in the first six months, than in those exposed to other foods and fluids, the Professor of General Practice at the ANU Medical School said.
Protection against nut allergy was found in children who were fed food and fluids other than breastmilk.
"Our results contribute to the argument that breastfeeding alone does not appear to be protective against nut allergy in children - it may, in fact, be causative of allergy," Professor Kljakovic said.
"Over time, health authorities' recommendations for infant feeding habits have changed, recommending complementary foods such as solids and formula be introduced later in life.
"Despite breastfeeding being recommended as the sole source of nutrition in the first six months of life, an increasing number of studies have implicated breastfeeding as a cause of the increasing trend in nut allergy.
"Peanut allergy accounts for two-thirds of all fatal food-induced allergic reactions. It is important for us to understand how feeding practices might be playing a part."
Experts have urged caution about interpreting the study's results, saying it could be that children at higher risk of developing allergies are simply breastfed longer.
Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) researcher Jennifer Koplin said women were not advised to avoid nuts during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
"There's absolutely no strong evidence that eating nuts while pregnant or breastfeeding will cause allergy," Ms Koplin said.
She said previous studies by MCRI had shown that children at risk of developing allergies were often breastfed for a longer term; for example, if a child showed signs of eczema the mother would be more likely to breastfeed longer in the belief it could help.
MCRI researchers have conducted studies showing that the timing of introducing children to foods such as milk, eggs and nuts could be crucial in reducing the risk of developing allergies.
The Australian National University paper has been published in the International Journal of Pediatrics.

IQAir Whole-House Air Purification for the Esquire House 2008
Since 2003, Esquire Magazine has chosen a select home or condo per year, usually in LA or NY, and turned it into an Esquire House Signature Space. This year, Esquire selected a contemporary home situated in the infamous "Bird Streets" of the Hollywood Hills and outfitted it from top to bottom with the latest sleek and stylish high performance systems. No amenity was overlooked, including the ultimate amenity of perfect air.
In 2006, and again in 2008, Esquire selected IQAir to provide our revolutionary whole-house air purification system the Perfect 16. "They not only wanted to create a house of breathtaking beauty and dimension, they also wanted to create one of America's healthiest homes with state-of-the-art air purification", says Frank Hammes, President of IQAir North America. They chose the Perfect 16 because it exceeds MERV 16 – the highest level of filtration recognized by the American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers (ASHRAE). The result is that the air in the home is virtually free of dust, pollen, allergens, and other indoor air pollutants.
These projects reflect a new trend in custom home design. "While discriminating homeowners have always been very particular about all visual and comfort aspects of their home, they now also want the best healthy home technology" says Hammes.
Breathing pure, clean air is sure to provide a significant plus for the thousands of people that will attend the various charity events scheduled to be held at the breathtaking hilltop home. And soon, a lucky family will be enjoying a spectacular view as well as reaping the numerous benefits clean air will have on their health.

technical info | refrigerator
what is the twin cooling system?Samsung developed the world's first Twin Cooling System in 1995 and it has been in application since.
The Twin Cooling System controls the refrigerator and freezer independently with two separate
evaporators and precise electronic control. This brings:
superior energy savingsAn adequate amount of cool air is provided in each compartment independent of the other. Temperature
sensors and microcomputers detect which compartment needs cooling and enables the refrigerator
and freezer to use power only when their respective compartments need cool air.
ideal temperature and humidity preservationBecause cool air in the refrigerator does not travel to the freezer, the refrigerator compartment
maintains a high level of humidity. The separate evaporators allow each compartment to maintain its
ideal temperature.
no mixing of odors
Since cool air does not travel through the same duct to reach the two compartments, oders are
conventional cooling system
Air travels between the freezer and refrigerator area causing a mixing of odors.

A 28-year-old Balinese crewmember working onboard the Holland American MS Nieuw Amsterdam is facing a possible life sentence in a prison after confessing to assault, rape and the attempted murder of a female passenger.
Ketut Pujayasa, from the villages of Suwug in Buleleng, North Bali, told investigators that he delivered a breakfast tray to the cabin of a 31-year-old female passenger. After knocking three times, the woman, an American, allegedly shouted, "Wait a minute, son of a bitch!" - before opening the door and accepting her breakfast.
Pujayasa said the womans abusive comments were an insult to both himself and his family. Infuriated, he waited for the woman on the deck on the afternoon of the same day with the intention of punching her in the face. When the deck was too crowded with other passengers to perform the planned assault, the man returned to the womans cabin later that night.
Using a master key to gain access, police say he choked, punched and struck the woman using whatever was handy, including a laptop and a curling iron. The Balinese crewman is alleged to have also raped the Ameican. The woman fought back with a corkscrew. The fight then moved to the cabins balcony where, according to the criminal complaint, the Balinese waiter tried to throw the woman overboard.
Other passenger, concerned by the ruckus within, pounded on the door of the cabin, causing Pujayasa to reportedly make his escape in the nude, scaling from balcony to balcony along the side of the ships exterior.
The womans injuries were sufficiently severe that she was evacuated to Florida by air ambulance the following morning from a port in Honduras. Her condition after the attack remains unclear.
The complaint says that Pujayasa returned to his crew cabin after the attack and told his roommate to call the ships security because he had just killed a passenger.
The woman was a passenger on a nudist cruise offered by Holland American.
Placed under guard he was turned over to the F.B.I. and will be arraigned before a Federal Court in South Florida.
Ketut Pujayasa, originally from Bali, joined Holland America in 2012 and had worked without incident up until the time of the attack.
He is a 2011 graduate of the Balindo Paradiso Cruise Training Program conducted in Bali. His current contract was due to expire on March 15, 2014.
Commenting on the attack, the president and CEO of Holland America said: "At Holland America Line, the safety of our guests is our highest priority, and we are shocked and deeply saddened by this incident. To our knowledge, no incident like this has occurred in our company's 140-year history."
