No One Knot: The Art of Scarves
Scarves come in all shapes and sizes and have recently migrated to different seasons. But we sorted through the rubble to find this season's best.
Every year at about this time, men of a certain pedigree and sophistication must decide how they intend to prepare for the cold months ahead. It's fall (it's almost fall) and in the words of one of our favorite secret nerdy indulgences: winter is coming.
Enter the scarf: a time-honored tradition shared among all walks of life, everyone from overprotective mothers to hipsters trending about in the dead of summer. There is indeed a wide spectrum of wearers, a great divide among those who don the scarf, but there is simply no easier way to accent a look, any look, than with one. Be it a classic winter scarf with a classic winter coat or, in the case of Christmas in California, a lighter focal point scarf with a lighter leather jacket, the scarf serves to bring color and complexity to an otherwise simple outfit. The only real trick is knowing which knot goes with which.
The Classic: Burberry
It's hard to go wrong with a Burberry scarf. The pattern is universally identifiable and never in ill repute. No one will ever look down on a Burberry scarf. With that, a caveat: it is to be worn with higher end, more refined fall/winter clothes. The pea coat comes to mind or something in the knee-length, black or gray variety. Tie with a Peresian Knot.
The Focal Point: McQueen, YSL (pictured, left) and Givenchy
While the Burberry scarf combines both fashion and function, these scarves with some pretty notable names behind them tend more toward the fashion side of things. That is to say, they might not keep you warm in the middle of a Northeastern winter. But they will keep you fashionable; though muted in their base color, the scattered pattern provides a bit of pop against a solid backdrop. Tie with a wrap-around.
If the YSL cashmere blend birds scarf doesn't do it for you perhaps the Alexander McQueen signature skulls, the Givenchy navy beetles or this Paul Smith black jellyfish scarf could do the trick.
Form and Function: Alpaca
Finally comes the wholly functional scarf from our fine furry friend, the alpaca. Alpacas are these things and they've become something of a presence in the comfortable clothing discussion. As a scarf, alpaca wool is not only exceptionally soft but incredibly warm, and though alpacas are not naturally patterned in houndstooth in the wild, we've managed to add a bit a style to their woven wool. Tie with a wrap-around knot.

Re: Pulled pork
Pulled pork seems to be popular at the moment , I went to the street party at Fifteen in early summer , quite a few of the street food vendors were selling pulled pork .
I am told its realy good to eat .

Re: Pulled pork
Pulled pork is very popular here, a truly American dish. My recipe is for North Carolina style pulled pork.
Make a rub using salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, thyme garlic powder and onion powder. Rub all over the pork butt and place in a deep roasting dish and cover with foil. Roast it in the oven covered at 325F for about 6hrs.
Let it rest for at least 40min and then remove the bone and pull the pork. Mix in the special sauce made with red wine vinegar, a big glob of yellow mustard and ceyenne pepper.
Serve on a bun with plain cole slaw (mayo, vinegar, celery seed salt) and you've got yourself an american classic.

Re: Pulled pork
I love coleslaw, but Mr. Hippytea hates cabbage and mayo! So I sliced up apples and mixed them with plain yoghurt and honey. Went really well with the pulled pork. It was (and is) fabulous stuff, we have a couple of boxes still left in the freezer for future enjoyment.
I should have said, with that Chow recipe, I doubled all the rub ingredients except the salt, and I'm glad I did - for my 6lb roast, there wouldn't have been enough if I had followed the recipe straight. I also rubbed the pork and left it overnight, just to save time in the morning.
Mega tasty. God bless America.

only rarely will you see it labeled as butt or boston butt here. More common is pork shoulder or blade roast .
I have tried to find a definitive reason behind the name before with no real luck.
I can give you the oft repeated internet folklore .
During revolutionary and civil war times , cheaper cuts of meat including pork were packed in casks or Butts for transport. Pork shoulder roasts that were cut in a specific way in boston eventually became known as boston butt .
Slow cooker pulled pork is pretty nice stuff but it really loses something by not having the bits of bark mixed in that come from slow smoking.
For those that are thinking , " What is he going on about now?"
Bark is a bbq term that refers to the way the outside of the pork with the rub forms a very flavourful crust.
Only a fool argues with a skunk, a mule or a cook. { cowboy saying}

Ok, any1 know of a place to get .90 white ABS sheets?
usplastic.com has it. go to the sheets and whatever section, it's under the styrene catagorey. They have the measurements for thickness inches. I think .90 is about 1/8" thick. Also look in the phone book for any plastic dealers near you. You may be able to get it cheaper form somewhere locally. Here in Kansas City I go to Fantastic Plastics and can get supplies cheaper there. I know that doesn't help you, but it might help someone.
I find usplastics to be reliable too, never seen em outta stock, and my orders arrive quickly. gotta kill the fed ex guy though.. i saw him drop it in the driveway and chipped my dang sintra...its not reaaal bad though.. so i didnt send it back.

Analysis and Reporting
A research report, organized by the states and jurisdiction (Washington, D.C.) interviewed, was written to document the study process and to provide an analytic report of the data obtained in the interviews. The interview data summarized in these reports were analyzed thematically within each of the categories established through the conceptual framework for this project. This analysis appears in parts I, II, and III of this guide.
To assure the validity of the information, researchers triangulated across multiple sources. The main source of current information about policy implementation was knowledgeable individuals in each state. When possible, sources were sought across different agencies, for example, the state education agency and the charter schools organization. Multiple interviews were conducted in each state. Public documents provided a third major source of triangulation.
Drafts were reviewed by the states to confirm that the research team accurately reported the information given to them. The expert advisors also provided ongoing review of drafts to screen for information that seemed inconsistent with their knowledge of the current state of matters in a state and nationally. If reviewers raised questions, then researchers: a) checked back with the original source to clarify any mistakes in understanding, b) requested any additional written documentation that is publicly available, and c) sought additional sources of information, such as other experts in the state or individuals in a position to know about the specific form of assistance.
This descriptive research process suggests promising practices, including ways to do things that other educators have found helpful and lessons they have learned, as well as practical "on-the-ground" examples. This is not the kind of experimental research that can yield valid causal claims about what works. Readers should judge for themselves the merits of these policies and practices. Also, readers should understand that these descriptions do not constitute an endorsement of specific practices or products.

Washington man pleads not guilty to Belgrade purse snatching
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The second of two Washington men accused of a Belgrade purse-snatching that turned into a high speed chase plead not guilty in court Tuesday.
Police say Kenneth Lohman and his accomplice, Joshua Bolton, stole a purse from an elderly woman in the Albertson's parking lot in Belgrade in mid-July.
According to court documents, the woman tried to get her purse back but they sped off, knocking her to the ground.
Police say they caught up with the car near Three Forks and attempted to pull the men over, but the men fled.
Court reports state police chased the car down I-90, with the car crossing over and driving on the wrong side of the interstate at one point.
Highway troopers later found the car off of the highway. They say Lohman and a juvenile female who was in the car with them surrendered.
But they say Bolton fled on foot, and they found him hiding under a nearby house.
Police charged both men with robbery. Lohman's bond is $100,000, Bolton's $150,000.
Bolton plead not guilty in court on Monday.

Here is this week's question:
Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then "broke up" with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.
Faythe from the Shifter series by Rachel Vincent. At first I really liked her, she was kick ass and took no crap. But as the series went on the more I started to hate her. Now its hard for me to even look at the beginning books and think I liked her. Even thinking about her now makes me want to hit her!
Eugenie from Dark Swan series by Richelle Mead, if I could hit her I would. I liked her the first book or 2 but there is no love for her anymore. She is a DUMB ASS!! I can't get into her dumb ass'ness without wanting to hit something so I am moving on.

I think Randy Oliver read it more carefully than that.
This is very old news but neonicotinoid residue in pollen and nectar has been reported in many studies to generally be from 1-5 ppb.
The Harvard study first of all looked at levels from 0.1 to 10 ppb and no effect was noted.
In the second part of the study it switched to levels of 20-400 ppb
there was no explanation for this but the speculation is that when no effects were noted in the field realistic range they upped the dose until an effect was noted
The bees then died.
This is not ccd.
This is what happens when insects are exposed to high levels of insecticide
This paper was discussed to death last year here and every other bee forum on the internet.
Randy's review is on the front page here
>I'm re-reviewing the Harvard study now, and comparing it with your accusations that they used "massive" doses (as this is not what I saw from a cursory glance of the study at all) and will get back to you on that. I'm also reviewing Randy Oliver's rebuttal at the same time and will address it if I disagree with his rebuttal.
thanks javin, i look forward to what you have to say about that.
just curious, and not looking for anything too specific, but can you give us a general idea of what your scientific background is?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
"When the investigators failed to prove their case after a month of feeding spiked syrup—they changed the protocol, and ramped up the doses of insecticide in the syrup to sky high and overtly toxic levels, and then made a series of compounding mistakes, notably by not performing the sort of necessary parasite management required for colonies to survive the winter. And then, even though the symptoms of the colonies when they died did not match the symptoms of CCD, yet the Harvard press agent claimed that they did!"
I find nothing in the study to indicate that there was any change in the dosing protocol during the timeframe of the study. The lack of parasite management means zilch in this case since the people doing the study DID actually have a control group that also did not have parasite management. The study can be found here: http://stream.loe.org/images/120406/...al%20proof.pdf
The argument that they "dumped a lot of pesticide" on the bees is asinine at the best, and perhaps someone should "do some basic research" before making that accusation.
They used a range of levels of neonicitinoids from 20 MICRO-grams(ug) per kilogram concentrations up to 400ug/kg. The did not, as Randy Oliver accuses, change the protocol halfway through the study. Read the study yourself.
Then there's the dosage levels. In 2008, a study was done to find out what concentration of imadocloprid (the neonicotinoid in question) was actually found in the guttation of corn to be around 47mg/L. If my admittedly shabby math is correct, this works out to very (very) roughly to 470,000 micrograms per kilogram. In other words, over a thousand times MORE pesticide could be found in corn's nectar than was actually used in this study.
Then Randy Oliver states that no CCD was observed. Except that it was. CCD is the sudden absconding of the vast majority of live honey bees without bodies of the dead to be found, leaving the queen and a handful of very young bees behind. Now, if we want to change the definition of what we're calling CCD, then by all means let's do that before saying that they didn't experience any CCD in the study, since this was precisely the result they got. (And for those that don't like to read, they have pictures.)
The only problem I have with the Harvard study is the incredibly small sample size that was tested, but even the scientists themselves state that. The entire point of these studies is to give us a basis for further investigation. This study shows a clear correlation between CCD and neonicotinoids. It does not necessarily show causality (correlation does not prove causation) but it most certainly is the ONLY study I've found to date that has given it an honest and unbiased try. I can't say the same for Randy Oliver's rebuttal if I'm understanding both his rebuttal and the study itself correctly. But again, don't take my word for it. Read the study yourself. That's why I've posted the links.
Go read it again then, half way down the paragraph titled 'materials and methods'They used a range of levels of neonicitinoids from 20 MICRO-grams(ug) per kilogram concentrations up to 400ug/kg. The did not, as Randy Oliver accuses, change the protocol halfway through the study. Read the study yourself.
The initial part looked at 0.1 to 10ug/kg
The 20-400 number also seems to be a bit of confusion for you. This is 20ug /kg to 400 ug/kg. The concentration used in the HFCS. These numbers are still below the 5 ppm mark.
No it is 1-5 ppb.
500ppb is way over the LD50
that is why the harvard study is such dross
This stuff is really basic.
You are confused by a factor of 1000
The point of this study, in their own words, was not to prove that the pesticide kills bugs. We know it does. Duh. It was to prove that SUBLETHAL dosages over time could cause the pattern we call CCD. Which it did. Clearly.
In nature bees are typically exposed to values of 1-5ppb in pollen and nectar.
That is why an experiment which exposed them to 20-400 ppb is pointless.
It is way over field realistic levels.
Do your research about levels in pollen and nectar.
Google papers by Bonmatin for example.
These are massive doses and clearly they will kill bees.It was to prove that SUBLETHAL dosages over time could cause the pattern we call CCD. Which it did. Clearly.
Check your LD50s
I don't know why you have started to argue this stuff without checking the most basic facts.
This is where they got their dosage levels for the study. I'm entirely unsure as to where you got yours.
Are agrochemicals present in High Fructose CornHFCS samples from Tate and Lyle, Archer Daniels Midland,
Roquette and Mann Lake were sent to the Carl Hayden Bee Research
Center in Tucson, AZ, USA in 2008. These companies are among the largest commercial suppliers of HFCS to beekeepers. The HFCS was used in a study to investigate the relationship between temperature and HMF formation (LeBlanc et al., 2009). A 50ml sample of HFCS from each supplier was shipped on ice to the USDA-AMS-National Science Lab in (NSL) Gastonia, NC for pesticide analysis. The HFCS samples were extracted for analysis of agrochemicals using an official pesticide extraction method (AOAC 2007.01, also known as the QuEChERS method), and analyzed by gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry detection (GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, LC/MS/MS). Samples were analyzed for the presence of 174 different agrochemicals including 17 neonicotinoids and their metabolites (Table 1). Quantification was performed using external calibration standards prepared from certified standard reference
material. The National Science Laboratory is ISO 17025 accredited to perform pesticide residue analysis.
There were no pesticides detected in any of the HFCS samples.
Syrup fed to honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)?

2National Science Laboratory, USDA-AMS, 801 Summit Crossing Pl. Ste. B, Gastonia, NC 28054, USA.
Lets go back to basics here.
The harvard study fed HFCS to bees with added Imidacloprid.
This is in spite of the fact that corn in the US is treated with Clothianidin rather than Imidacloprid.
The link above shows that HFCS does not contain pesticide residue anyway, either Imidacloprid or Clothianidin.
leaving aside Corn syrup for the moment, there are various routes of exposure to pesticides, the main ones are via pollen, nectar or in the case of corn, planter dust during seed drilling.
The Krupke et al paper discusses this.
The biggest risk to bees is planter dust as this is highly toxic.

Erwin reinstates half of their funding to Unicoi Co. Animal Shelter
ERWIN, Tenn. - After deciding to pull $23,000 in funding from the Unicoi County Animal Shelter last month, the town of Erwin has decided to reinstate some of that money; but as we found out, that may just be a temporary fix for a shelter concerned about their financial future.
To dozens of cats and dogs, the Unicoi County Animal Shelter is home. They are fed, cared for, and loved.
Now this home appears to more stable, at least for the next six months. "We're encouraged that everybody was able to come together," said Jessica Blevins, director of the UCAS.
After pulling nearly $23,000 in annual funding because of financial and auditing concerns, the town of Erwin is partnering with the shelter once again, bringing with it more than $11,000 through the end of the year.
But Erwin's mayor Doris Hensley told News 5 this is only temporary while the town negotiates with the county and Town of Unicoi to come up with a new animal control agreement, one they hope will serve the town's taxpayers wallet just as well as animal welfare. "What we are proposing is going to be on a smaller scale than what their shelter is, but it will be a shelter. The dogs will be taken care of," said Mayor Hensley.
Mayor Hensley said with this temporary funding they're not using their own animal shelter for the moment, but she said they have all the facilities in place for possible future use.
That is concerning to residents like Paige Buskey, who worries the town's shelter will be more like a short-term pound. "If my dog should escape or one of my dogs should escape, I'm concerned that he will be caught, taken to the shelter, or to the pound, and euthanized," Buskey said.
While there's a glimmer of hope over at the shelter, there's still question after question as to what happens comes January 1, and the Erwin's financial support may or may not be there. "This is a large amount of money for us to have to come up with so long term, we're still not sure what this means for us," said Blevins.
Hensley insists that either way, the doors won't close. "The shelter's going to operate," said Hensley. "It's just that the town of Erwin might go out and provide their own animal control."
We found out the town of Erwin is close to an inter-local agreement with Unicoi County and the Town of Unicoi.
Mayor Hensley said the next step is to have attorneys read over the proposals before any permanent decisions are made.

Guest Tutorial: Janet's Somerset Star Folded Card Decoration
Did you want to leave a link on Manic Monday Linky Party? It's still open!
Today I'm very pleased to share Janet's tutorial with you. Janet blogs over at Stitch N Sing. I actually know Janet in real life; she's a student in my Patchwork and Quilting class at the college and she's helping Savi to sing a verse of 'O Holy Night' by herself on Friday night in a concert in Fareham. Janet is very talented, both in sewing and in singing. The other day we were at her house while she practiced Il Bacio and Savi and I were totally blown away by her unbelievable voice and talent.
These beautiful greetings cards make wonderful gifts and are an ideal way to display your patchwork! It looks complicated but it's actually easier than it looks. There is not much skill needed to make this. This is a traditional patchwork design called Somerset Star in the UK. It's made by using small pieces of fabric folded to make triangles. Here is the instruction of making the Somerset Star Christmas card.
- a piece of white or cream backing fabric , 7″ x 7″
- a 6″ embroidery hoop
- white fabric cut 12 pieces , 1.5″ x 2.5″
- blue fabrics cut 16 pieces, 1.5″ x 2.5″
- white thread
- needle
- a circle aperture card- circle 96mm Dia
Step 1
Turn under the top edge of each rectangle by 1/4″
Step 2
Fold the top corners to the middle to form a triangle.
Step 3
Create 12 white triangles and 16 blue triangles.
Tips: Use 2 different colours of fabrics to show the contrast.
Divide the fabric into four and draw a line from left to right and from top to bottom.
Step 5
Using an embroidery hoop to hold the fabric taut so that it doesn't pucker.
Step 6
Position four triangles.
Step 7

Story highlights
- Test flight for Bombardier CS100 takes place in Quebec
- First new jet family in decades aims to be lighter, quieter than rivals
- Plane already has more than 150 orders -- but that's only half the goal
- Budget has overshot $3.4 billion estimate by $500 million
Two heavyweights dominate the high-capacity commercial aviation industry -- Boeing and Airbus.
Now the world's third-largest manufacturer of commercial aircraft is touting an apparently lighter and quieter plane that it hopes will cut into the giants' market share for narrow body, medium-range commercial jets.
The virgin test flight of the Bombardier CS100 -- from the first new family of commercial passenger jets in decades -- took place at Mirabel Airport, in Quebec, Monday.
The 110-seat, single-aisle aircraft (a 135-seat version in the CSeries is also in the works, and a maximum capacity of 149 has been reported) is in the same class as Boeing's 737 series and Airbus 318 and 319 aircraft.
Bombardier is a Canadian multinational company headquartered in Montreal.
Apart from a minor alert going off midair, the two-and-a-half-hour flight was a success, the Age reports.
"The performance of the CSeries aircraft was very impressive," said the new jet's test pilot, Chuck Ellis.
"We couldn't have wished for a better maiden flight."
Quiet, lightweight
Expected to enter service in 2015, the Bombardier plane has two advantages over its rivals, its makers says.
Made of lightweight composite materials, the CS100 beats Airbus and Boeing for fuel performance, most industry experts reportedly agree.
Bombardier says its CSeries planes will also be quieter than any existing commercial jet.
That's probably not because the company has heard the cries of long-suffering residents near heavily trafficked airports around the world, but because regulation increasingly demands controls on airplane noise.
Orders in
The CS100 has already won orders from carriers such as Latvia's AirBaltic, which is buying 10 of the planes.
"You could hardly hear the takeoff," Martin Gauss, CEO of AirBaltic, said after watching the test flight in Quebec.
"This was one of the reasons we bought it, along with the cost savings from lower fuel burn."
There's a good reason why new commercial jet series come along so rarely -- the astronomical cost involved in developing them.
The CS100 had already cost $500 million more than its official estimate of $3.5 billion, Bombardier said.

Fort Campbell--Keith lists Galbreath among favorites
by Greg Willamson
The Leaf Chronicle
Fort Campbell, KY | January 18, 2013
Written on a creased sheet of paper he had previously tucked away in his sports coat, Mike Keith read off a list of his ten favorite football players. And Keith has crossed paths with some greats in his over 30 years as a sports broadcaster, working the past 15 years as the Voice of the Titans, and a career prior to that in Knoxville covering UT athletics. Keith called out the names to a room of over 240 Tuesday during the All-Area Football luncheon to honor the 52 members of The Leaf-Chronicle All-Area football team, which was sponsored by the Clarksville Rotary Club, Downtown Kiwanis, Charter Communications, APSU ROTC and The Leaf-Chronicle.

Reviews of this property
Wonderful apartment in the arty part of Paris. Great experience couldn't fault a thing, would love to stay again
The flat was as we expected, very nice and charming.
Close to shopping and restaurants around the corner. The Metro
Just a couple of minutes away.
Elke was very kind and helpful to us and we have already been talking
To come back next spring :)
/ Tomas
We were there with my 5 years and my husband. We had a good experience. The apartment is very comfortable for us and for that period of time. Alli we had everything we needed for our stay. Crockery, microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker. also cleaning items and LINEN.
The only thing that would modify the bathroom is the shower head that is manual and has no place to hang, which made the bathing somewhat difficult, especially for my child, but that is not important since there were a very long period of time and compensates very well with the rest of the department is very well equipped.
The location is great. meters from the Pompidou Centre. Walking distance to Notre Dame and le Ville Hotel. Near Metro and supermarkets, restaurants and more shops.
EL showed host is very friendly, both in our previous submissions to the trip and in person.
Although check in is after 16hs. We could leave our luggage there at noon. Also at check out, q is at noon, we were able to leave our bags there until evening.
Remarkable value is optimal. MUCH BETTER THAN A HOTEL.
We are happy with the choice.
Estuvimos alli con mi hijo de 5 anos y mi marido. Tuvimos una buena experiencia. el departamento es muy comodo para nosotros y por ese periodo de tiempo. Alli teniamos todo lo necesario para nuestra estancia. Vajilla, horno micro ondas, tostadora, cafetera. tambien articulos de limpieza y blanqueria.
Lo unico que modificaria es el duchador del bano que es manual y no tiene lugar donde colgarse, lo que hacia algo dificultoso el banarse, sobre todo para mi nino, pero eso es lo de menos ya que no estuvimos un periodo de tiempo muy largo y compensa muy bien con el resto del departamento que esta MUY BIEN equipado.
La ubicacion es ESTUPENDA. a metros del centro Pompidou. A poca distancia de la catedral de Notre Dame y del hotel le Ville. Cerca del Metro y de Supermercados, restaurantes y mas comercios.
EL anfitrion se mostro muy amable, tanto en nuestras comunicaciones anteriores al viaje como en persona.
Si bien el check in es luego de las 16hs. pudimos dejar alli nuestro equipaje al medio dia. Tambien en el check out, q es al medio dia, pudimos dejar alli las maletas hasta la tarde.
La relacion calidad precio es optima. MUCHO MEJOR QUE UN HOTEL.
Estamos contentos con la eleccion.
It's a very sweet apartment right in the middle of Paris. There was a little problem at the beginning but it was very quick solved. It's cosy and bigger than a normal hotel room in Paris. It has everything you need und there's a bakery, grocery, metro just 2 minutes away.
Amazing apartment set within a quiet courtyard and extremely close to the Pompidou centre. It is within easy walking distance of both the Louvre and Notre Dame but if you don't fancy walking then there are many Metro stations to choose from. Les Halles is on a direct line (4) to Gare du Nord if like us you are coming in on the Eurostar. It has everything we as a couple needed for our 4 night stay including a very comfortable bed (I slept very well during my stay) as well as a number of beautiful bakeries/cake shops in very close vicinity. It was lovely to meet Nicholas who was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay
thoroughly and found Elke easy to deal with. We will be back!
7 days stayed. John is one, Les halles or buses which end hotel de ville, chatelet gakkawoseo in top tourist destinations of the good. However, the city of Paris, so expect a lot of themselves and callused 'sanitary' for the idea of disappointment grew up, the hostel's barely even larger applied differently. A little bit of a sink scrubbing cloths was, should also wash bowl state of Jin did miss that place. Still lots of dust in the house.

Like a pickpocket ) also tells good. The umbrella was not a grand one sseobwaseo'm not sure, than that you will need a little something like fellow travelers we've put two sseudeon portable umbrella heh heh heh But accommodation is a good part for the overall satisfaction.
7일동안 머물렀습니다. 1존이고, Les halles이나 버스들 종점인 hotel de ville, chatelet에서 가까워서 관광지들 가기에는 좋았어요. 다만 파리라는 도시 자체에 너무 기대를 많이 한 탓인지 '위생'에 대한 관념에 대해서는 실망이 컸는데, 숙소에도 크게 다르게 적용되진 않았네요. 싱크대의 수세미나 행주가 좀 그랬고, 그릇들도 안 씻어진 곳이 있는 상태였네요. 집 안의 먼지도 많았고요. 처음 들어간 날부터 그랬으니 새 손님이 오는 것에 대해 조금 관리가 필요한 것 같습니다. 타올은 4장정도 준비돼 있었고 말려가면서 썼고요, 세탁기나 기타 물건들은 사용할 순 있었는데 세제가 없었고, 커피포트는 그 전에 묵은 분이 우유를 끓이셨는지........씻겨지지 않은 상태로 있어서 안 썼어요 찝찝해서. 화장실은 그나마 깨끗한 편이었구요. 화장지는 한 롤 정도 있었어요. 그래서 새 화장지 사다가 썼어요. 라디에이터 사용하라고 해서 쓸 일 없을 줄 알고 안내해준 Nicolas분한테 테스트 안 시켜봤다가 안 켜져서 얼어 죽는 줄 알았구요.. 어찌할 바가 없어서 이불만 두겹 쓰고 지냈는데, 그래도 지낼만 했어요. 근데 진짜 침대 밑이랑 그 장식용 인조꽃 위에 먼지가 장난아니었어요.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ엄마가 미세먼지알레르기있으신데 많이 안 좋아서 덕분에 계속 밖으로 돌아다녔네요. 냉장고는 깨끗한 편이었고, 여튼 찝찝했던 곳은 싱크대, 커피포트, 집안의 전반적인 먼지들....정도였고 나머지는 다 좋았습니다. 머무는 동안 집주인분은 한번도 못봤구요, 도착한 날에 키 주고 여러가지 안내해 줬던 니콜라스아저씨만 만났는데 친절했고, 여러가지 파리에서 지낼 때 팁(대부분의 한국인은 '유랑'카페 통해 알고 갈 법한...소매치기 같은 거요)도 알려주고 좋았어요.
우산은 큰거 하나 있었는데 안써봐서 모르겠구요, 그것보단 작은 게 여행자분들한테 필요할 것 같아서 저희쓰던 휴대용우산 2개 놓고 왔어요ㅎㅎㅎ
그래도 숙소 전반에 대한 만족도는 좋은 편입니다.
Conveniently located to everything on foot. Comfortable and noiseless. Small kitchen, complete equipment. Bathroom with everything needed fits well for a couple
Très bien situé pour tout faire à pied. Confortable et sans bruit.
Cuisine petite, equipement complet.
Salle de bain avec tout le nécessaire
Convient bien pour un couple

According to Bloomberg, Intel is abandoning plans to supply its processors to manufacturers of connected TVs, although it plans to maintain its presence in the TV set-top box market.
Bloomberg quoted an Intel spokesperson who described it as "a business decision where we're taking those resources and applying them to corporate priorities." Engineers in its Digital Home Group will now re-focus on tablets, smartphones and a new type of laptop Intel has dubbed the 'Ultrabook'.
Intel's ambitions for the connected TV market first emerged in 2007 in the shape of its 'Canmore' chip, later known as the CE 3100 media processor. The first iteration was demonstrated at an Intel Developers Forum in summer 2008, before becoming the enabling platform for the Yahoo Widget connected TV demos at CES 2009.
Its successor, the CE 4100, part of Intel's low-powered Atom series, has scored some notable successes in the set-top box market – with Comcast in the US and Liberty Global in Europe, as well as with Google's Google TV. However, the Atom series has failed to make any significant impact on manufacturers of connected TV sets.

The Beemer was cool cuz it was Beemer, but i TOTALLY loved my 1993 Lancer.
[/quote]do you have that backwards??[/quote]
no. The Beemer was old, and automatic.
The Lancer was a quick little rabbit with a manual.

maybe the "newer" ones, i can ASSURE you, Blue wasn't Turbo.

the Lancer "felt" quicker, though I know the 316 was pretty agile itself.
The Lancer was my first manual transmission car so I guess I have some sentimentality with it.
Again I'll stress, most of us Joes had BMWs and after a while they take on a Ford persona. It's the Mercedes and Audi's I like a lot.
Mercedes do rock

This roundup summarizes some notable recent items about scientific research, selected from news reports compiled in Sigma Xi's free electronic newsletters Science in the News Daily and Science in the News Weekly.
Honey, I Shrunk Our Impact
It makes sense once you think about it, but now the assertion has some numbers to back it up: Divorce is bad for the environment. Investigators studying households in 12 countries have ascertained that families that split end up using more resources. In the United States, for example, households of divorcés use about 50 percent more resources per person than those of couples before any such dissolution. In 2005 alone, more successful marriages could have saved the United States 73 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water—sobering numbers to share with the next divorced environmentalist you meet.

Touch of Gray
It's common to look back from middle age and bemoan the slow loss of this or that natural capacity—say, physical stamina or the ability to focus one's eyes up close. Many people also suppose that their minds aren't as sharp in midlife, and some early investigations seemed to bear out this notion. But a newly published longitudinal study of tests given to Vietnam veterans almost two decades apart shows quite definitively that general intelligence does not, in fact, decline between young adulthood and middle age. And the subjects' verbal ability proved to increase over time. Like fine wine. . . .

Autism's Cause Remains Elusive
Epidemiologists have long puzzled over the rising number of children afflicted by autism. One hypothesis posits that thimerosal, a mercury-containing compound used as a preservative in many vaccines, may be responsible. This worry, in part, led to the elimination of thimerosal in vaccines distributed in the United States. The hope was that this move might lead to a decline in the incidence of autism. But a recent investigation of data collected in California suggests that the elimination of thimerosal has not lowered the autism rate, which increased steadily throughout the study period (1995 to 2007).
Schechter, R., and J. K. Grether. Continuing increases in autism reported to California's developmental services system: mercury in retrograde. Archives of General Psychiatry 65:19-24 (January)
T. Rex Teen Sex
In birds, medullary bone, ephemeral bony tissue that forms in marrow cavities before ovulation, provides a source of calcium for the shells of eggs. Study of medullary bone in dinosaur fossils allows the determination of the ages at which these animals reached reproductive maturity. Earlier work had shown that Tyrannosaurus rex matured before 18 years of age, and new results for Tenontosaurus and Allosaurus indicate that they did so before the ages of 8 and 10, respectively. Just how many dog-years that represents remains unclear.
Lee, A. H., and S. Werning. Sexual maturity in growing dinosaurs does not fit reptilian growth models. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S.A. 105:582-587 (January 15)
A Star (and Planet) Is Born
Astronomers have long known that planets form from the leftovers that surround newly created stars, but until now they had never caught one in the act. Indeed, most searches for extrasolar planets have focused on stars that are at least 100 million years old, by which time the protoplanetary disks that once encircled them are long gone. But astronomers from the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie in Heidelberg recently uncovered a planet (about 10 times the mass of Jupiter) orbiting a newborn star—one that is only 8 to 10 million years old and still swaddled in a whorl of dust and gas. This discovery suggests that astronomers will be able to investigate the details of how planetary systems form by examining the process while it is still taking place. And, who knows, one day careful observations may also reveal how all those Starbucks keep popping into existence.

The Blind Shall See
Biologists studying 29 populations of the blind cavefish Astyanax mexicanus had previously determined that the loss of sight in this species evolved independently at least three times, meaning that some of these fish differ in the particular genetic mutations responsible for their blindness. A recent experiment showed that crossing individuals obtained from different caves produced, remarkably enough, some progeny that could see. The restoration of sight to the blind in this case is a simple consequence of the laws of Mendelian genetics. If ichthyologists had succeded in getting lame fish to walk and deaf ones to hear, now that would indeed have been a miracle.
Borowsky, R. Restoring sight in blind cavefish. Current Biology 18:R23-R24 (January 8)
You Big Rat
Children are always excited to learn about the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), because this inhabitant of the neotropics is the largest rodent in the world, weighing about 60 kilograms. But paleontologists have now shown that a different animal from the region—one that lived between 4 million and 2 million years ago, during most of the Pliocene period—gets the award for the largest rodent known to have ever existed: Josephoartigasia monesi. Adults weighed well over a metric ton and were the size of a bull.

Hey all, New to the site. Looking to move from a fun board to a smaller performance board. Not ready for a short board just yet but want a good performance board I can improve my skills with to eventually move to a short board. Thinking the Activator is the right board for me. Anyone have one for sale? Any recommendations regarding my board choice would also be welcome. Thanks!
No announcement yet.
Wanted 6'11" Activator

Wanted 6'11" ActivatorTags: None
The 7'6 addvance has a lot of volume and paddle almost like a 9.0, it's very stable and has quite some performance built in it, it has enough rocker (actually more than the 6'10) to handle nice drops when it's hollow and still goes super well in the slow parts, so it is perfect as an alternative to longboards as it is much more manoeuvrable and super fun.
I weight 90kgs and i'm about 6 feet tall. I tried different fins setup but the one i like best and always use in all conditions is the MRTFX rainbow + the Firewire deviant fin. You can also put a standard trailer as the rear fin but i find the deviant will turn the same but has more drive.
The 7'1 Activator is much harder to paddle but is faster and turns much sharper. Coming from longboarding, you will have no problem to adapt and find your marks straightaway on the 7'6 addvance, and if you don't expect to make big airs, you will catch a lot of waves and have a lot of fun, That's for sure.

I'm looking forward to trying this pancake recipe, however, I have a quick question before trying it out. My husband's diabetic, so I'm always trying to switch out whole wheat flour for white flour in recipes (I also like to keep as much white flour out of my kids diet as possible). Do you think whole wheat flour will prevent the pancakes from being light and fluffy?
Thanks so much!
Vancouver, BC
If you regularly substitute whole wheat for white flour, I am sure you are already aware that things are more dense and even chewy when you use all whole wheat flour. Same things for these pancakes, without the white flour these pancakes will lack that airiness, that makes them "mile-high pancakes".
Here is another thread that talks about this as well. It's actually part of the discussion from the Wheat & Gluten Lesson. Cheers!
I make these every chance I get when I cook breakfast for the family. Its a big change from the runny pancake batter that come in boxes at the supermarket. They literally are pan "cakes"!! sometimes I have trouble getting that perfect golden brown colour though?
PS adding cheese is a must try!!
I thought I'd write back about my experience in substituting whole wheat flour in this recipe. I did 2 different versions: 1 with 1/2 white 1/2 ww flour, and the other with straight ww flour. I actually didn't notice too much of a difference between the 2 versions and they both turned out great and still turned out "mile high". It must be all the baking powder that keeps them nice and fluffy. They weren't too dense or chewy. I gave my kids the 100% ww version and they gobbeled them up. I'm thinking about grinding up some other grains. such as oats and incorporating them into the recipe. As a side note, I also made the laminated pasta with whole wheat flour and it turned it great. I think I just had to boil the noodles for a minute or 2 longer.
Hi Carlos,
Not sure what the experts at Rouxbe would say, but when I don't have buttermilk on hand, I make my own "sour milk" by adding about 1 tsp of vinegar to every 1 cup of regular milk. You have to let it sit for about 10 minutes before you add it to the recipe. You'll know it's ready when the constistency changes. Sounds unappetizing, but the milk will be a bit "chunky". Hope that helps.
I usually need to add more vinegar or fresh lemon juice to get the mixture to thicken enough: 1 tablespoon vinegar or fresh lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit until it thickens.
I'm sure the substitution would work well for this recipe. I haven't had a lot of success though when using the substitution in the Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Pancakes. It just never seemed to get thick enough so I stick to the real thing for that particular recipe. Hope this helps!
Carlos, do you have yogurt where you are? I used 1 cup yogurt mixed with 1 cup milk, this time to replace the 2 cups buttermilk.
I always used sour milk (milk plus vinegar or lemon juice) in the past to replace buttermilk in recipes. Sour milk is thinner than buttermilk, so use a bit less.
Both buttermilk and yogurt are cultured milk products, but sour milk is not, so sour milk will not provide as much rise. Cultured milk works a bit like a sourdough starter.
This is the first time I felt like I could afford to "waste" yogurt in pancakes. In the past I only cooked frugally and nutritionally, and never for the pure enjoyment or to learn. I'm glad I did these "right" as they do taste yeastier than sour milk or regular milk pancakes.
Richard did you add baking soda or baking powder. Baking soda is more potent than baking powder and has to be neutralized by the correct amount of acid. Baking powder is complete in itself, and more of it is used, and it is usually double acting, meaning it rises a second time when heated, not just when liquid is added. 1 tablespoon of baking soda is a huge amount. 1 tablespoon baking powder is just right.
I haven't baked anything in over 6 months and have kept my flour in the refrigerator where it has dried out, so my batter came out too thick. I stirred a little more milk into the batter to try and thin it, but it wasn't enough and I didn't want to try stirring in more, because I was afraid of overworking the batter.
I've never had such a tender pancake when the batter was so thick. I think it's because of the extra rise from the yogurt.
When flour is dry, do I use less flour, do I increase the liquid, or do both?
I'm just comparing this recipe to one I have for buttermilk pancakes. Mine calls for separating out the egg whites, beating them, then folding them in at the end before frying. Is this achieving the same effect as your large amount of baking powder? If so I might prefer your simpler method.
I also tend to use Rice-bran oil instead of vegetable oils. Would that be ok here? I think I'll try this recipe tomorrow for breakfast!
Whipped egg whites can be used to leaven, so, yes, it is relatively the same thing. If you were to substitute the whipped egg whites in your recipe with baking powder, I don't know how they will turn out - you'll just have to try it out for yourself (if this is indeed what you're asking). I am not familiar with rice-bran oil, but if you use it for cooking and it is neutral in flavor, it should be fine for pancakes. Cheers!
pro tip, do NOT put rice-bran oil in these! :-) I made a few different batches, all single serving size, and I think butter works best. Also I found that there's is no need to butter the pan, if its non-stick and cleaned properly the pancakes come out nice and golden. I noticed that my pan was hovering around 325f ish but your mileage may vary.
I tried these topped with a spiced ricotta as follows:
400g ricotta
60ml Canadian maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
blend in a processor until smooth
then dollop on top of the pancakes.
As a nice side to all this I had maple syrup pears, as follows:
250ml Canadian maple syrup
orange and lemon rind, and the juice from said orange and lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 ripe williams pears, peeled & quartered
combine in a pan and simmer for 12min until tender and glazed
This took a bit of effort (certainly not the lazy Sunday morning kind of pancake) but was simple AMAZING. If you need to impress a special someone with breakfast, this will do it. mmmmm....
I made these pancakes exactly as the recipe describes, but the batter was extremely thick. When I went to 'ladle' it on to the griddle, it was more like having to scrape it off of the spoon and flatten it out!
They were DELICIOUS, but I'm thinking that maybe my buttermilk was thicker than usual? I used Island Farms buttermilk. Maybe I should just sour some milk instead? Or should I just add more than the 2 cups of buttermilk?
Suggestions would be appreciated!
Sounds like you may have just needed to add a touch more buttermilk. Next time make them as usual and if they are too thick add a tablespoon or so more buttermilk until you reach the desired consistency. The batter is supposed to be thick but not so thick that you have to scrape it off of ladle and flatten them. Cheer!
Mine came out too thick too. I had stored my flour in the fridge and it had dried out. If you think your flour has been stored in really dry conditions, you can add some water as well as more milk.
When my pancakes are coming out thick, I like to cover the pan to make sure the middles cook.
There are two questions from two different people posted that i too wondered about, but i don't see the answers. One was the question about storing extra batter in the refrg, and the other was about getting the golden brown color when cooking the pancakes. Any suggestions??
Ideally, once a batter has been mixed, it should be used. The batter begins to activate baking powder or baking soda, so letting it sit for long periods of time will decrease its leavening power. You can always try cooking the pancakes the next day to compare the results. If you know you won't eat the entire recipe, cut it in half and don't mix until you are ready to cook.
Sometimes, the first couple of pancakes tend to be lighter in color. Make sure your griddle has been preheated and well-oiled. Make a small tester pancake to test the temperature and you'll be good to go. Cheers.
An old trick I found out about, when you don't have buttermilk on hand is to use an equal amount of yogurt. Yogurt I tend to have on hand more often than buttermilk. Yogurt looks really thick, but it must thin out in the cooking, because I have never had any problem using this substitution. If it looks too thick for you, you can always add a touch of milk.
My oldest daughter told me yesterday that these pancakes are our family tradition since I make them every Sunday for my girls. I hadn't thought about it that way but if that's how she feels then that's how a tradition is born I guess. All three girls want to help make them which can make it challenging at times.
I think we've pretty much mastered the recipe and we alter it weekly depending what's in season. Right now we are making lots of blueberry pancakes and I never have buttermilk so I just add a shot of lemon juice. I use a non stick electric dutch oven and I never oil it. We always half the recipe and we've never had a bad batch. I'm not sure if it's a tradition just yet but these are the best pancakes I've ever had.
In the comments back on August 13, 2008 the discussion was about replacing the oil in the batter with butter for added flavor. I tried this by melting the butter in the microwave and then stirring it into the other liquid. However it the butter seemed to solidify and form lumps since the liquid is below the melting temperature of the butter. Is there a way to avoid this?
The other ingredients would have to be a similar temperature to avoid this. The important thing is that the pancakes turned out.
I have personally made these pancakes hundred of times and I have never used butter to make the batter...but that doesn't mean I do not lather them with butter after they are cooked :-) Hope this helps. Cheers!
I know these are called Mile high pancakes but my questions basically applies to all recipes with flour, baking powder or soda. I do live in the Mile High City (Denver, CO). Do any of your recipes make notes if there is a change for high altitude?
I know most pre-made batters usually require some extra flour living here. I want to try these but want to make sure I get it right.

A historic gathering took place Wednesday at the White House in Washington, D.C. Lunch was served! No big deal about that, but the guests were a big deal. Every living U.S. President was there, along with President-elect Barack Obama. The last time all living Presidents gathered at the White House was in 1981.
The idea for the lunch of Presidents began with the newest member of the club, Barack Obama. Obama will take office as the nation's 44th leader on January 20. When Obama met with President Bush in November, the future President suggested the idea. President Bush liked it and invited Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton for the get-together.
The five men share something only they can claim: They were elected to the nation's highest office. That bond makes them members of a very small and special club. President-elect Barack Obama described the Presidents' lunch today as "an extraordinary gathering."
A Meeting of Minds
Before lunch, Barack Obama and President George W. Bush met privately in the Oval Office. They then joined the others in a dining room next to the President's office.
What did the five men talk about? No one outside of the room knows for sure. "All of us would love to be flies on the wall and listening to that conversation," said White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. "These are leaders who only understand what it's like to be in each others' shoes and none of us can put ourselves in those shoes," noted Perino. The press secretary thought that the men talked about what it's like to live in the White House and about raising children there. Perino also said that they probably discussed serious problems with the U.S. economy and the recent events in the Middle East.
Besides all the talking, the Presidents found time to eat. What was on the menu? Perhaps presidential club sandwiches!
The Guest List
Here's a look at the guest list at today's White House presidential lunch, the political party each belongs to, and when they served as President.
Jimmy Carter, Democrat, 39th President, 1977-1981
George H.W. Bush, Republican, 41st President, 1989-1993
William J. Clinton, Democrat, 42nd President, 1993-2001
George W. Bush, Republican, 43rd President, 2001-2009
Barack Obama, Democrat, 44th President, 2009

Do not use die to debug
Joomla! 1.5 includes the ability to optionally store the user session in the database. In PHP 5, because of the order in which it does things, a connection to the database will be closed before it fires the session handlers.
As a result of this, the common-place practice of using the
die( 'test1' ); function will result in a plethora of errors being thrown, similar to the following:
Warning: mysqli_query() [function.mysqli-query]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in C:\Apache2\htdocs\www_site\libraries\joomla\database\database\mysqli.php on line 147

In order to stop execution gracefully, you need to use the following code:
echo 'Test'; $mainframe->close(); /* or use: jexit(); */
If you are developing your own component, you might like to include your own utility function to provide this functionality:

Frittatas are a superb way to bring together leftover cooked vegetables and those random inhabitants of the vege bin. I usually par-cook the vegetables before starting the dish; it speeds up the process.
Do give the vegetables a toss in the oil or butter to achieve a bit of colour before adding the egg mix. If you are cooking breakfast for a big bunch of people, this potato frittata, served with roasted tomatoes and grilled bacon, is a great offering.
Serves 4-6
50g butter
3 onions, sliced
3-4 medium-sized potatoes
(500-600g), unpeeled, sliced
2 zucchini, sliced (or other vegetables)
4 eggs
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 Melt the butter in a large heavy frying pan. Cook the sliced onions in the butter over moderate heat, until they are evenly browned.
2 Add the sliced potatoes, stir well, cover the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 10-15 minutes, add the zucchini or other vegetables,
so they will be cooked at the same time as the potatoes.
3 Beat the eggs with the water and half the cheese. Pour this mixture over the pressed-down vegetable mixture, and cook over gentle heat for 10 minutes or until the sides and bottom are cooked.
4 Sprinkle the remaining parmesan over the top, then place under a grill until the top puffs up and browns lightly. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with
a salad if desired.
Variations: Add chopped garlic with the potatoes; and fresh or dried herbs with the egg mixture.

so I started this Pepakura build using Fierfek's files from the RPF. This isnt my first work in pepakura but it is the first one that I plan on fully completing. all the others I have made just made it to the resin stage and maybe some paint as "look at me" type thing. Here is my progress up to the resining stage:
upon completing the rocket I feared I would have to redo it because it got a bit gnarled in the mid section.... had my fingers crossed though
With a couple of options on where to start the main body I decided to go from the back out. (or would it be the front? anyways, the part that actually connects to the backplate)
I then proceeded to build outwards with the two pentagonal shafts that flank either side of the central tube.
knowing I couldn't continue the central shaft with any form structural integrity I added the base and a portion of the curved top.
I forgot to take photos around here but here it is with the caps connected and the two shafts linked by the center of the pack.
here is the pack with the main body completed. (I plan to do the thrusters at a later date)
I took two days to resin the mixture because I used very little hardener. this was done semi-intentionally as I have heard that the longer it takes to cure the smoother the final result will be. This worked great the first day but I got impatient today. (the orange piece is to keep the thruster attachment point circular as it kept wanting to collapse)
here it is after the resin had fully cured. (note the rough on the right side of pack. this is a direct outcome of my aforementioned impatience.)
That's my progress so far. I will probably be building the thrusters and rondoing the inside of the pack over the long weekend.
If you are wondering what happened to the rocket I trashed it. After the resin and rondo it got pretty messed up and I decided it wasnt worth the effort of trying to salvage it. so a new rocket is also on the agenda!
any advice or constructive input would be greatly appreciated!
