Episode 2 - Weston
Labia Repair
Labia Minora is the medical name for vaginal lips and their length can range range from 2cm-10cm. Recently, however, women are turning to surgery to reduce theirs for comfort, cosmetic reasons or to repair tears after giving birth. In fact labiaplasty operations on the NHS has doubled in the last five years. Donna is one of these women who have under gone surgery, and is visiting the clinic today unhappy with the results. Her recent labiaplasty has taken away a lot of her labia minora, leaving her with tender scar tissue which is uncomfortable during sex and which also causes her to spray when passing urine. Dr Dawn advises Donna to talk to a reconstructive surgeon who repairs the damage to her labia minora leaving her much more comfortable.

Henry Wallace couldn't get them all right
Comments off · Posted by David Hume in Communism
American Fascism, in 1944 and Today:
Seventy-three years ago, The New York Times asked the sitting vice president to write an article about whether there are fascists in America, and what they're up to.
It was an alarming question. And the vice president took it quite seriously. His article, "The Danger of American Fascism," described a breed of super-nationalist who pursues political power by deceiving Americans and playing to their fears, but is really interested only in protecting his own wealth and privilege.
That vice president was my grandfather, Henry A. Wallace. And in my view, he predicted President Trump.
If you know American history you know that Wallace was famous for something else besies his anti-Fascism. But all in good time. From the original Wallace piece:
The perfect type of fascist throughout recent centuries has been the Prussian Junker, who developed such hatred for other races and such allegiance to a military clique as to make him willing at all times to engage in any degree of deceit and violence necessary to place his culture and race astride the world. In every big nation of the world are at least a few people who have the fascist temperament. Every Jew-baiter, every Catholic hater, is a fascist at heart. The hoodlums who have been desecrating churches, cathedrals and synagogues in some of our larger cities are ripe material for fascist leadership.
The reality is that the Prussian Junker was no more racist than a British aristocrat or an American Boston Brahmin. I believe in making one's arguments one should be punctilious in adherence to facts. Wallace was in this piece channeling a particular sort of anti-German inflected "root cause" argument which would be exposited later in the "Authoritarian Personality" arguments, and derive from early 20th century rivalries between the Anglo world and the rising Germany.
Second, Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels came from Catholic backgrounds. None of them were obviously practicing Catholics, but their disdain for the religion was a general one derived from their skepticism of Christianity. The reference to anti-Catholic is simply due to the fact that Wallace wants to connect to American readers in the 1940s, where prejudice against ethnic whites, and in particular Roman Catholics, was common.
Later on the piece tips its hand as to why it is so out of place in today's world:
Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within the United States itself.
Fascism in the postwar inevitably will push steadily for Anglo-Saxon imperialism and eventually for war with Russia. Already American fascists are talking and writing about this conflict and using it as an excuse for their internal hatreds and intolerances toward certain races, creeds and classes.
Henry Wallace is famous for being totally wrong when it came to the possibility of the threat from Communism. His 1948 campaign for the presidency was dogged by ties to, and influence from, American Communists. Wallace was an anti-anti-Communist.
To be fair to him, Henry Wallace did change his mind on Communism in the 1950s.
But it's somewhat strange to see him being presented as a prescient thinker when he admits that in 1944 on a visit to the Soviet Union he was duped.
We are all the Secular Right now, but what does that mean?
This blog began in the fall of 2008 somewhat on a lark. This was during a period when the American Right was beholden in many ways to the Religious Right. By "many ways," I mean more in symbolics and rhetoric than reality. The reality is that conservatism in the 2000s was a "three legged stool" where the Religious Right was fed rhetorical "red meat," while the neocons were ascendant and the economic conservatives achieved some gains (and losses).
But the power of religion in conservatism was such that genuflection to Christian values and identity was normative, even among the mostly secular Washington and New York conservative intelligentsia. Of course, there were always libertarians, but the libertarian position within the Right has always been one of tactics rather than strategy. It was not controversial being a libertarian and an atheist. What was more atypical was a non-libertarian conservative admitting their atheism. In 2008 George F. Will declared he was an agnostic. By 2014 he was admitting to be an atheist. Will's transformation from bashful to agnostic on the Colbert Report in 2008 to sanguine atheist in 2014 illustrates a change in American culture: secularization entered a new phase in the 2000s, and a much larger proportion of Americans are no longer Christian in belief. In the United States over the past generation the number of Americans who have "no religion" has gone from one out of ten to one out of four.
As if to portend these trends in Barack Obama and Donald J Trump you will have two presidents who are cultural Christians at best. Though many assert that Obama is an atheist at heart, I suspect that despite his lack of belief in most of the supernatural elements of the religion he does have some rationalization for why he is a Christian. Trump's position is different, as he is from a Protestant background by heritage, and it seems likely that that heritage is what he would lean on to assert his Christian bona fides. But Trump is arguably as religiously disinterested in the confessional aspects of Christianity as Obama, as adduced by his public comments, as well as his sanguine attitude toward the conversion of his daughter Ivanka to Orthodox Judaism (Eric Trump was married under a chuppah, as his wife is Jewish, while Donald Trump Jr.'s wife has a Jewish father, though she does not seem religiously Jewish as evidenced by her wearing a cross at her wedding).
Trump's attitude toward religion is not the aspect that it is notable. Many Republican politicians are not particularly religious in private. What is notable is that he made no attempt to not be transparent in his lack of strong religiosity when appealing to religious voters. Trump's appeal to religious voters in the Republican party was that he would defend their rights and interests, not that he was truly one of them. The Religious Right then has become part of the interest group constellation of the Republican Party, but it is not calling the shots on the optics and symbolic rhetoric in the same manner as before.
What is the future then? I don't think anyone knows. The election was a close one, and trends don't help. Social-cultural systems are sensitive, and nonlinear. Expect chaos before we settle into a new system and stationary state.
Moderate Muslims are moderate in some things

Bangladesh bloggers: Clear pattern to killings:
Since then, the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina appears to have reached an accommodation with Hefajat. The Islamist group has confined itself to the madrassa premises and the government has put five bloggers in jail for allegedly hurting the religious feelings of Muslims.
The government now appears to be walking a tightrope.
There is little doubt the prime minister wants to pursue a secular future for Bangladesh. But she appears to have little time for atheists who are on a collision course with Islamists.
The bloggers don't just want protection from killers and justice for those murdered – they also want to enjoy the freedom of speech that is enshrined in the constitution. The government does not seem to think that freedom should stretch to the criticism of religion.
And Islamist extremists want to strike terror into the hearts of such writers and bloggers through targeted killings.
Why is the government walking a tightrope? Because, as Omar Ali observes the majority of Bangladeshis are Muslims, and many of these individuals are wary of standing up for the rights of those who verbally attack their religion. Many "moderate Muslims" may enjoin peace, but won't fight for it on behalf of others.
Overall, compared to a sectarian hell like Pakistan Bangladesh is doing well. But if it wants to continue to be an exemplar of liberal economic practices grinding away poverty one percentage point at a time it needs to also stand by principles of liberal social tolerance. It is difficult to have one without the other in the long term.

George F. Will, American atheist
7 Comments · Posted by David Hume in Religion
Several years ago George Will declared that he was an agnostic on the Colbert Report. Last week he pulled no punches:
RCR: Do you believe in God?
GW: No. I'm an atheist. An agnostic is someone who is not sure; I'm pretty sure. I see no evidence of God. The basic question in life is not, "Is there a God," but "Why does anything exist?" St. Thomas Aquinas said that there must be a first cause for everything, and we call the first cause God. Fine, but it just has no hold on me.
RCR: Were you raised with any religion?
GW: My father was the son of a Lutheran minster, and therefore he was an atheist. What I mean by that is — he went to so many church services, his father preached in many churches up near Antetum, eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania — my father had had his full of religion. He used to sit outside his father's study and listen to him wrestle with members of the church over reconciling grace and free will. I think that's where my father got his interest in philosophy.
I majored in religion in college. I was very interested, but I just came to a different conclusion. I'm married to a fierce Presbyterian and she raised our kids fierce Presbyterians.
I'm an amiable, low-voltage atheist.
RCR: Does that present a problem for you as a conservative?
GW: No. The Republican Party's base is largely religious. It would be impossible for me to run for high office as a Republican. Since I have no desire to run for office, it's a minor inconvenience! I think William F. Buckley put it well when he said that a conservative need not be religious, but he cannot despise religion. Russell Kirk never quite fathomed this, which is one of the reasons why I'm not a big fan of The Conservative Mind. For him, conservatism without religion is meaningless.
RCR: Your friend Charles Krauthammer likes to say he's an agnostic.
GW: I think he's an atheist. He flinches from saying it. I saw what he said: "I don't believe in God, but I fear him greatly." Oh, please!
Conservatives respect atheists less
9 Comments · Posted by David Hume in data
This clip by S. E. Cupp is making the rounds. I often find Cupp to be glib, so it's no surprise that I disagree with many of the details of what she is saying. In particular it struck me as strange to listen to her talk about how conservatives respect atheists. Atheists are held in low esteem by the American public as a whole, let alone by conservatives. The general social survey has a question, SPKATH, which states:
There are always some people whose ideas are considered bad or dangerous by other people. For instance, somebody who is against churches and religion… a. If such a person wanted to make a speech in your (city/town/community) against churches and religion, should he be allowed to speak, or not?
Here are fractions who would allow this person to speak or not not in 1972-1990:
Here are fractions who would allow this person to speak or not not in 2000-2012:
Liberals tend to be more accepting of atheists making a speech than conservatives. Interestingly even in the 2000s ~20 percent of self-identified extreme liberals would still not allow an atheist speak. As opposed to ~40 percent of self-identified extreme conservatives.
Addendum: To be clear about the intent behind this post, I'm all about keeping it real. I think it is acceptable to be an atheist on the Right. A substantial proportion of libertarians are atheists. Even among non-libertarian conservatives it's an acceptable position. But this is really mostly relevant at the elite levels pundits and policy professionals. Atheists just aren't popular at the grass roots. There aren't that many conservative atheists or atheist conservatives.
The culture of science is the culture of the Left
5 Comments · Posted by David Hume in science
Robert Tracinski, in What Atheists Have To Offer The Right's, kindly points to this website. He also goes on to assert:
That leads me to what atheists have to offer to this agenda. One of the problems with citing a religious foundation for freedom and Americanism is that these arguments tend not to appeal to those who don't share your faith. People will naturally assume that, in order to agree with you, they have to believe in the same particular religious creed you have adopted. And given the vast range of religious belief, that's a lot to ask for.
I've made this argument before. Modern American conservatism has become so culturally captured by the Religious Right that there's a lot of talk about "Biblically based values" without much reflection that it might turn some people off who don't share the basis of those values. I do think it is notable that conservatives with broad cultural influence such as George F. Will and David Brooks tend to have a secular affect (Will is personally an agnostic).
Trancinski goes on to talk about the relationship between conservatism and science at some length. I can speak here personally, as I am a scientist and a conservative. One issue is while most liberals may not be scientists, most scientists are liberals. Those who are not are invariably libertarians. I would cop to being conservative, albeit with a strong libertarian streak. And that makes me exceptional. The culture of scientists and culture of religious conservatives are so opposed to each other that a Christian evangelical friend who is an evolutionary biologist once told me he was asked literally every day how he could be a scientist and a Christian. I have been in the room several times where scientists talk about how they can outreach to the broader public, like conservatives, assuming of course that there were no conservatives in the room.
I don't think this correlation is a logical necessity. It's just an empirical sociological fact. And we have to deal with it in our political and policy culture. Most scientists exhibit strong domain specific in their cognitive competence, so there's no reason to think that someone who has a strong command of molecular genetic mechanisms can therefore think cogently about global trade. But many scientists mislead themselves, assuming their powers of ratiocination are generally robust in all areas to which they put their minds. Scientists often are in fact ideally situated to be what F. A. Hayek would term Constructivists.
What is Europe's anti-Semitism problem about?
7 Comments · Posted by David Hume in Religion
In Slate, Europe Has a Serious Anti-Semitism Problem, and It's Not All About Israel:
A recent Anti-Defamation League survey found that 24 percent of the French population and 21 percent of the German population harbor some anti-Semitic attitudes. A recent study of anti-Semitic letters received by Germany's main Jewish organization found that 60 percent of the hate mail came from well-educated Germans. So this isn't just a problem with young, disaffected Muslim men.
After all, the two worst recent incidents of violence against Jews in Europe—the killing of three children and a teacher in a 2012 attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse and the shooting of three people at a Jewish museum in Brussels in May—took place during times when there wasn't much news coming out of Israel. Continentwide statistics on anti-Semitic incidents leading up to the most recent uptick don't show much of an overall trend—in Britain, anti-Semitic violence is becoming less common while online abuse is becoming more frequent—or a correlation with events in Israel and Palestine.
The perpetrators of the two incidents in question? 29 year old Mehdi Nemmouche and 24 year old Mohammed Merah. That's what I call chutzpah. Or, the author of the piece is flying under the radar of the implicit red-lines of what is permissible in Slate by inserting those links which actually support the idea that anti-Semitism is a problem of disaffected young Muslim men. Mind you, I grant that anti-Semitism has broad, but shallow, roots across much of Europe. The key is whether mild antipathy flips into politicized violence. Because of the Arab-Israeli conflict people of a Muslim background often have casually anti-Semitic views above and beyond what you might expect. Some individuals take the political dimensions very seriously, and the drum beat of vociferous coverage of the actions of the Israeli state bleeds into perceptions about Jews as a whole.*
Though the American media seems to be taking an antiseptic attidue toward the demographic composition of anti-Israeli rallies which have become anti-Semitic in a cartoonish sense, they haven't censored the photographs. It's rather obvious that young men of Middle Eastern heritage are prominent at these rallies. They aren't a representative slice of the populations of France and Germany, to name two countries.
* To be even-handed, some Jews elide and erase the distinction between being Jewish and being Israeli.
Leftist blasphemies
Oberlin has had to walk back its policies about "trigger warnings." An op-ed defending the old policy highlights what's really going on here:
Trigger warnings exist in order to warn readers about sensitive subjects, like sexual violence or war, that could be traumatic to individuals who have had past experiences related to such topics, not to remove these subjects from academic discussion. They do not "glorify victimhood"; instead, they validate the life experiences of certain members of our community and allow individuals to make informed decisions.
Who defines what a "sensitive subject" is? The headline tells you who, "Staff Seeks Balance Between Free Speech and Community Standards in Online Comment Moderation." The Oberlin community is not the same as the community of an Iraqi village, and its standards of different. The emphasis on sensitivity and emotional reaction and perception is a common one on the liberal-Left, but I wonder if they stop to reflect that this sort of standard has traditionally been used to defend standard religious orthodoxies from vigorous, even blasphemous, critique. I doubt that anyone at Oberlin would wish to censor a thorough thrashing of conservative Christianity, because it seems unlikey that there are many conservative Christians at the university. But the same logic could be used by a different demographic.

Trying to fix the server... Please post here if you notice slow pageloads!
This is driving me nuts guys and I'm sorry. We have been working on this sever for almost a month and hopefully we have fixed the problem... if not I'm getting a new server and host asap.
Please post in this thread if you experience slow page loads on this site or any other problems. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Forums were slow yesterday evening, but seem fine now.
A 9:15, for me, it slowed to almost dial-up. EST/EDT
Is it consistent? Are you still having slow pageloads?
Seems faster than ever now. Sometimes it would stall for a couple of seconds, even on a T1 line. Now it's smooth on Qwest DSL.
Well, were working on it... keep us updated. Thanks!

A lot of prepping families are already home schooling. They know there are parallels between prepping and home schooling.
Preppers and home schooling families:
* Separate themselves from the vast majority of society.
* Declare their independence from the system in many ways.
* Discover how to become interdependent with other like-minded people.
* Experience significant personal growth.
* Develop a skeptical attitude toward conventional authorities.
When you're raising children, you likely have ideas and goals in mind as to how you want those children to come out. With home schooling you get to be in control and shape your children as you believe they should be shaped.
There's an abundance of curriculum material for you to choose from. Different philosophies are out there for your consideration, too.
Do what works for you and your family. Allow yourself the time and freedom to explore that. And remember, your experience will be different than someone else's.
Be sure you know what laws apply in your state. Become a member of Home School Legal Defense Association. When you consider the benefits and help they offer you, the annual membership fee is definitely worth the price. A link to the HSLDA Web site is below. It's a tremendous resource.
There's plenty of support for you, whether it's from a local group of home schoolers or from books, magazines and online resources. You're not in this venture alone.
During my show I spoke about our family's experience, which is different than most. In a nutshell, health problems caused us to make a number of changes. My wife went to work, and I did nearly all of our home schooling.
That was a challenge for me. Since I'm blind–some call me visually impaired–I had to use special adaptive equipment to help me teach our children.
By the way, if you're raising children with disabilities, don't let that stop you from teaching them at home. Below are a couple of resources to help you.
For me home schooling proved to be more fulfilling than my previous work as an announcer for Christian radio stations. Instead of reaching out to a large audience, I reached out to the young, moldable minds of my own children.
Remember, when you're raising children, you're raising young adults. And family bonds are strengthened.
I invite you to listen to my discussion on the June 23rd DestinySurvival Radio.

MOORESVILLE, NC, January 17, 2001 - Sony Electronics television marketing group and Penske Racing announced the continuation of their NASCAR Winston Cup sponsorship with the ...
MOORESVILLE, NC, January 17, 2001 - Sony Electronics television marketing group and Penske Racing announced the continuation of their NASCAR Winston Cup sponsorship with the #12 Alltel Ford and rookie-of-the-year candidate Ryan Newman. Newman's new ride will carry the FD Trinitron® WEGA® television branding on its lower rear quarter panel, while another unit of Sony consumer digital photo printers, will join the fold and adorn the rear decklid with a Print By SonyTM logo.
Entering the second year of this sponsorship, Sony's relationship with Penske Racing will once again include a special race during the 2002 season where the car will feature a paint scheme highlighting the Sony FD Trinitron WEGA and Print By Sony logos.
"With the continuation of Sony's associate sponsor relationship with Penske Racing, both companies can further build on the business base established in 2001. We are excited about the expanding opportunity to aid Sony in promoting its WEGA and Print by Sony brands to the knowledgeable consumers who comprise the NASCAR Winston Cup audience," said Walt Czarnecki, executive vice president of Penske Corporation Worldwide.
Ryan Newman, 24, is coming off a very successful season in 2001 where he split time between the Winston Cup, Busch, and ARCA Series' circuits. In 24 combined starts, Newman scored two wins, eight poles, five top-five, and 11 top-ten finishes. His best finish in Winston Cup competition last season was a second at the Kansas Speedway in September, while his best start came from the pole at Charlotte in May.
"We're looking forward to a very memorable 2002, and the addition of Sony Wega and Print by Sony to ALLTEL and our Penske Racing South family adds to that excitement," Newman said. "As a young team, we depend on the support we receive from our sponsors and the addition of Sony will only add to our success as we look toward our first Winston Cup season and the Rookie of the Year campaign."
WEGA (pronounced, "VAY-GA") televisions continue to lead the industry with its proprietary flat screen FD Trinitron technology and outstanding picture performance. Since Sony launched the WEGA TV's just over four years ago, the entire television industry has been revolutionized with Sony again leading the pack.
"Winston Cup racing has provided a great platform for Sony to showcase its high-performance line of WEGA televisions," said Tim Alessi, television marketing director for Sony Electronics. "Our partnership with Penske has been very successful and we look forward to a thrilling 2002 season with Ryan behind the wheel."
Using dye-sublimation technology for true photo lab-quality output, Sony's line of digital photo printers allows consumers to produce high-quality, long-lasting prints in 90 seconds within the convenience of the home or office.
"The non-stop action of NASCAR racing provides the perfect opportunity for race fans to capture their favorite car or moment and then edit, archive and print those images with the use of a Sony digital photo printer," said Jeff Clark, marketing manager for Sony digital photo printers. "Our digital photo printers are an easy and quick solution for race fans everywhere with digital still cameras."
For the third year in a row, Sony will continue the Sony TechPit, a 60-by-80-foot mobile road show designed to give fans a front-row seat for an interactive look at the latest products in home entertainment, digital imaging, car audio and personal computers. It features a fast-moving sensory experience, giving fans the opportunity to interact with Sony products and enjoy the thrills of WEGA televisions and home theater demonstrations in Dolby DigitalTM surround sound. The exhibit will also include computer-simulated races, numerous digital photo printers that race fans can use to print their photos while at the race track, a Sony showcar and feature personal appearances by Ryan Newman at selected events.

Iron is an essential component of many biological processes. However, an excess of iron in the body is also toxic; thus, the levels of this element are tightly regulated. Our knowledge of the mechanism by which iron levels are maintained has been bolstered by the dramatic increase in the discovery of novel molecules implicated in iron homeostasis. The transferrin receptor-transferrin pathway is the main mechanism by which cells take up iron. The recently identified homolog of transferrin receptor, its characterization and its role in iron metabolism is the subject of this review.

Building Alternatives to Neo-Liberal Globalisation: The Challenges Facing NEPAD
African Labour Research Network (ALRN), National Labour and Economic Development Institute (NALEDI) | February 27, 2004African Labour Research Network
National Labour and Economic Development Institute
National Labour and Economic Development Institute (NALEDI)hosted a conference entitled 'Alternatives to Neo-Liberal Globalisation: Challenges Facing NEPAD'. The objective of the conference was to consolidate the many separate assessments of NEPAD into one collective evaluation. Pertinent to the discussion is the role of trade unions in contesting and complementing aspects of NEPAD. This booklet contains papers of arguments presented by constituencies from labour and other social movements.

Alright.... Here I go. This project has been in the works for the last 6 months. Time to hit the GO button on this and see if I've learned anything :icon_eek:.

Pogostemon erectus
Some kina tetra
Black mystery snail (possibly)
Angels (pending)
and... pics

Here's some more shots. After tweaking the hardscape a bit from my previous thread, I fell for this. I removed quite a bit of stonework, Moved the DW a bit more centered. This will change slightly once I take the top off. This is after the sloping... added the DW and then meticulously arranged the cheesecloth (which I'm expecting to breakdown and feed the microbes after the HC has carpeted). Capped with the sand. I then filled it up a bit and covered it to keep it humid. Definitely don't want the DW to dry out and float.
Foggers are cool
4 Attachment(s)
Got my fogger working :).. maybe I shouldn't flood it and keep it a vivarium :icon_eek:
Back to the build. CO2 is coming this week. Once I get that I'll be sourcing the plant life. I've been considering going DSM with this one... but seeing as how have been HIGHLY impatient to get to this point... I'm not sure if I can go DSM. Time will tell. Updates soon...
Thanks for looking! :)
Lil Wabi too
2 Attachment(s)
First Wabi-Kusa attempt :)
Hardscape looks awesome.
I'd be really careful when you fill it though.
Wouldn't want that driftwood to float up.
Very nice start.
heh the fog pictures look pretty awesome :)
Awesome hardscape. Nice wabi also, tagging along.
Great start! Love your hardscape.
Thank you both! Much inspiration was derived from what I've seen of you stuff.
I'm falling in love with it. I flooded it today, to keep the DW waterlogged and hopefully start some bacterial colonies. Oh man, 75 gpd RODI sure makes for a LOOONG fill up. Been going for 10 hours now! I've been entranced by watching the little "pearling" sand bubbles. Now... I just need that C02 to come in and some plants..
Who's got some plants for the cause?
5 Attachment(s)
As I mentioned in the last post. I've decided to flood the tank... after a rediculous amount of time... It's over. I ordered my green stuff today. This is whats coming:
Limnophila hippuroides
Vesicularia montagnei
Pogostemon Erectus
Blyxa Japonica
I've added my first bits of life to the scape... bio from the previous filter and an air plant. I received my replacement parts from Penn-Plax today as well. The canister is back up and running. My thoughts on the Cascade 500. Good filter, does a good job. Cheap plastic parts are not cool, customer service at Penn-plax is great. Shipped $15 worth of replacements 2 day air, at no cost to me. So... until the plants are here the end of the week... this is what I've got.
Man that is some killer wood. Nice job scaping it, I love the addition of the little bromeliad too.
I noticed that you're using a DIY PVC overflow. Any trouble with it so far?
Thanks Hearnet :) Yeah, I'm digging the bromeliad too. Regarding the DIY PVC overflow. I have had one in my reef tank for about 5 months now, and just made this one for the 40b (I must like them, cause I made another one for a larger volume of water) I like them. I like not having to drill holes. They're pretty reliable. In my reef I had an issue of the siphon failing because of the air that gets trapped in the top of the siphon. It would, without fail, fail at almost 7:30 pm everyday. I had a run of this for a couple weeks. (Luckily, I had the water level right in the sump and the display, that it wouldn't overflow the tanks) To this day, I don't know why it would fail at the same time everyday. Possibly because it's nearly the same amount of water going through in that 24 hour period....
Anyway, I think the siphon failing because of air is due to the lack of flow going through the siphon (on my 20g reef, it's a slower flow), the pump going in wasn't as strong, the bubbles wouldn't get pushed through the siphon.
What I'm noticing with the 40 b... with higher volume of filtration (even though it's only been about 12 hours running) is that it's producing the gurgling noise. This starts at the outlet in the sump, the air trapped in the tubes gets flushed through occasionally, produces a gurgle then goes back to equilibrium with the return pump. It's not bad, just could be better. It hasn't failed yet. The thing with any siphon based overflow, is you've just got to check it every once in a while, to purge the air or micro adjust the valve. Other than that they're great!
I'm interested to see how well this filters the tank, as it's pulling from the top of the WC (NO BIOFILM!:wink: ) instead of the bottom, as the canister regularly would. Maybe more detritus... not sure yet. I'll let you know once there's plants and fish.
that driftwood really is nice ;)

While there are several different top 10 credit company lists, this article uses the J.D.Power website. This site uses criteria that include overall customer satisfaction, reward, benefits and terms.
To compare credit cards, use the credit card chaser to search now.
While no one card is right for everyone, ratings can help you decide which ones you want to consider to begin with. According to the 2011 credit card satisfaction study completed by J.D. Power and Associates, the top 10 credit cards are:
- American Express
- Discover Card
- U.S. Bank
- Wells Fargo
- Chase
- Barclaycard
- Bank of America
- Capital One
- Citibank
Most of the top credit card companies also charge lower interest rates and have numerous other options that can be extremely beneficial.
It is no real surprise with American Express leading the pack. This credit card company has spent years developing their customer service department to world-class level. American Express also surpasses other best rewards credit cards, terms and benefits. American Express cardholder's enjoy super privileges.
Having Credit to Get a Credit Card
These days, it isn't very difficult to obtain a credit card. In fact, you can look into few options. However, because you may not have a traditional credit history to on file with TransUnion, Experian, or Equifax, you may want to research secured credit cards for a while. Secured credit cards are an excellent option for people who are new to the world of credit cards because they help you build your credit history.
For example, the Capital One Secured MasterCard is available for people with very little or no credit. Using a secured credit card give you the ability to complete any task that a traditional credit card holder can complete. You can make purchases and even pay your bills too.
The only downside to secured credit cards can be the fees. Having new credit means that you are considered a risk. The financial institutions have no idea if you will be able to pay your debts. That means they must charge you certain rates until you have proven yourself dependable.
Secured credit cards generally charge an annual fee and have a higher APR than standard cards. This means it will take you longer to repay the balance. Make sure you keep your spending to a minimum to ensure complete and timely payments. This helps reduce your APR over time.
Companies that Offer Student Cards
There are approximately three credit card companies that cater to college students. In fact, Discover, Capital One, and Citibank all offer student credit cards, which have exciting benefits that include, cash back on purchases and rewards galore. They even guarantee no annual fees. One of the most popular student credit cards is the Journey Student Rewards card issued by Capital One.
This card was uniquely designed specifically with the college student in mind. It allows students to establish good credit by providing special resources that will teach students the dangers of credit cards and how to use and respect the credit card system.
Many students run into trouble financially because they are not able to manage their credit card debt. This card can prevent disaster before it strikes. Since almost every college student relies on some sort of technology, this card also has the ability to send updates and alerts to email and cell phones. If the credit card is lost or stolen, there is also coverage available.
Deciding Which Card to Pick
One of the best ways to decide on your credit card selection is to make a list of reasons why you want or need one in the first place. Credit cards are a luxury item that many take for granted. If you are not honest with yourself, you may choose a credit card that will not be beneficial for you. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Do you need a credit card for home repairs?
- If so, do you have the ability to repay the credit card balance in full?
- Is your credit card going to be used for occasional shopping sprees?
- Are you planning on using your credit card for emergency situations only?
These are only some of the questions you really need to ask before you begin your research.
Once you have an idea of what the credit card will be used for, you can start looking at interest rates, introductory offers and other options. Bear in mind that your credit score will ultimately dictate what you qualify for so don't be surprised to see how many choices you have.
Credit cards are a great way to make purchases when you find yourself without cash. They should be used carefully and managed with care to avoid financial problems down the road.
Use the credit card finder above to locate details on online credit cards.

|Reviews for Just Like This
| espanamazing chapter 1 . 12/16/2010
Yes! I was looking for this fic again, and I finally found it.
I love the emotion in it- and I really love the self-awareness Maes seems to have- especially in the line about "Don't wake up... I don't want to die."
It's really sweet, and I liked the way it ended as well. 3
| CaptainEliphant chapter 1 . 7/11/2010
That was so good! But yet very sad...
I just wish Maes didn't have to die :(
| MapleLeaves-VodkaBottles chapter 1 . 7/18/2008
God I hate anime, but I love with the same ferocity. Noone can ever have a happy ending. Why did Maes have to die? DAMNIT! I loved the story, its so much like the relationship between Maes and Roy, only with the yaoi, WHICH I LOVE! XP I also love how you made Roy feel about his age the same way Ed feels about his height! Haha! NICE!
| MARYLOVER chapter 1 . 7/12/2008
A nice piece of work. You know, it's true, sometimes your unconscious brings you what you secretly long for during a dream.
I thought I wasn't going to enjoy this fic, but to be true, I really did. You know how I love psychological fics.
I liked one part, the one when he finally opened his own heart and let truth overwhelm him... when he realized he really was in love all the time.
And the rant about Roy's age was priceless, I had never read one before, you made me laugh amongst all the sadness.
You know, I liked the fact the sex was with the young Maes and not the senior, just don't ask me why, maybe it was because there was no Gracia yet, it seemed right.
Okay I did it, I read it and left you a comment. Now go and bounce all over your house, because I really liked it. bye.
| ArkanianHyde chapter 1 . 6/29/2008
wow. maes death always gets me... i love this one. fave-ing rie now
| Bar-Ohki chapter 1 . 6/22/2008
Nice one.
| Mez10000 chapter 1 . 6/22/2008
Absolute genius and heartwrechingly sad yet sweet. I loved it.
(Yes, no random, rambling comment - I have actually left a real review...)
| silkendreammaid chapter 1 . 6/22/2008
i made my deadline, the dragon goes up as soon as i've finished here..lol...

text: I have an 01 Busa and neither the headlight or the tail light are getting power to them. Volt meter readings at the headlight as well as the connector to the main harness read 0 Volts.

In January 2003, a historic, highly anticipated journey began with 11 experienced sailors including Magnus Olsson, Skip Novak, Hasse Bauer and Richard Brisius. The group was driven by the desire to retrace one of the most significant, yet nearly forgotten, voyages to the Antarctic. After a full year of planning, the team left Ushuaia in Argentina with hopes of visiting destinations first reached 100 years earlier during an expedition led by Otto Nordenskjöld.
During the fateful Nordeskjöld Expedition of 1904, the captain and crew were beset by accident and misfortune that ultimately stranded them in three different locations.
Exposed to the cruel, relentless environment of the world's southernmost continent, the majority of the crew succumbed to the extreme cold – and perished.
On Snow Hill, Nordenskjöld and five crewmen were forced to stay through one long winter, and then another after Antarctic, a vessel sent to retrieve them, was repelled by fierce storms and ice. After the six surviving men were finally rescued by the crew of the Uruguay, no sailing ship managed to reach Snow Hill again for the next century.
The Swedish-led expedition in 2003, named Antarctica Expedition passed through the Beagle Channel, sailed around Cape Horn and further out on the Southern Ocean in the direction of the Shetland Islands. For weeks, the Antarctica Expedition team faced average daily temperatures that plunged to -40°C and were buffeted by stiff headwinds before Snow Hill was in sight.
Upon arrival, they experienced firsthand the hardships and hazardous conditions that Otto Nordenskiöld and his men had endured a century before. Fortunately for members of the Antarctica Expedition, they were able to sail back to Ushuaia without mishap. And by doing so, became the first sailing expedition on record to reach Snow Hill during the past 100 years.
As an important footnote to this new chapter in sailing history, the Antarctica Expedition Team wore the first editions of Sail Racing parkas designed for winter use.
The extreme conditions of the Antarctica proved to be more than an appropriate test chamber for our insulated, technical GORE-TEX garments. In 2004, after a few minor but necessary adjustments to the product, we were able to launch the first item in the Sail Antarctica Expedition collection: The Glacier Bay Parka.
To further our knowledge and processes needed to develop superior garments for winter use, we began a professional collaboration with the skipper of the 2003 Antarctic Expedition Team, Skip Novak. With extensive experience gained from competing in the Whitbread Round the World Race, Volvo Ocean Race and almost 20 years of voyages to Antarctica, we invited Skip and his crew to become members of our Sail Racing Test Team.
To our satisfaction, Skip and his crew came on board. The critical information they provide helps us continue our pursuit in developing what we believe are the finest garments on earth for sailing in the autumn and winter: The Sail Antarctica Expedition collection.

Three Idaho National Laboratory summer interns will receive extra financial help for school this year as winners of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies Scholar Program Essay Contest.
The winners, 16-year-old Gemma Clark, a freshman at the University of Utah; Jacob Bair, 26, pursuing a doctorate at Missouri University of Science & Technology, and Leilani Beard, a nontraditional senior at the University of Idaho, received $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000, respectively.
About 30 interns applied for the award money this year, Intern Program Specialist Erin Hanson said. Interns were selected based on their responses to essay prompts, which included a description of work they performed this summer at INL, as well as career interests and goals.
Bair, who interned in INL's Modeling and Simulation group, said he enjoyed working with top researchers in an area related to his doctoral thesis.
"It was really nice because (the internship) already fell in line with what I've been working on the last year-and-a-half or so," he said. "It enabled me to work with experts in the field … who were able to give me just a little bit more help than what my adviser was able to on a daily basis. So, that was really nice."
Clark, a recent graduate of Bountiful High School in Utah, is eyeing studies in engineering and music. She interned this summer with INL's Biological and Chemistry group.
Beard, who graduated from Blackfoot High School years ago, interned in the Biofuels and Renewable Energy Technologies group.
"I actually got to work with scientists who are extremely qualified and well-known in their fields," she said. "It was amazing and it was a wonderful opportunity."
Applicants had to be INL interns employed by Battelle Energy Alliance and enrolled in science, technology, engineering, math or related programs. They also had to be pursuing a bachelor's degree at minimum, maintaining a 3.25 cumulative grade point average at the time of the award.
About 160 interns worked at INL this summer.

Tried it out, asked for a 21" monitor, only used one vendor (don't have many other email addresses!), and he called me back (instead of using the RFQ :P ), but he did have some 20" monitors for $85, so it was worth it! Will probably be using it a bit more in the future...if I can find some reps and email addresses!
Almost forgot to give my feedback here for the SpiceCorps points, but here it is!

CANTON, Ohio (AP) Career sacks leader Bruce Smith, along with Rod Woodson, Shannon Sharpe and John Randle, are among the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the only first-year eligible players to make the final round this year.
Joining them will be two contributors: former commissioner Paul Tagliabue and Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson, as well as two senior nominees selected last August by the Senior Committee: former Atlanta defensive end Claude Humphrey and former Dallas wide receiver Bob Hayes.
Between four and seven candidates will be elected in the balloting that will take place in Tampa on Jan. 31, the day before the Super Bowl. The field was narrowed by the Hall's 44-member board of selectors from 133 to 25 before reducing it to the final 15.
Of the other finalists, only former Pittsburgh center Dermontti Dawson and former Seattle defensive lineman Cortez Kennedy have not been finalists before.
The rest: wide receivers Cris Carter and Andre Reed; defensive end Richard Dent; guards Russ Grimm, Bob Kuechenberg and Randall McDaniel; and linebacker Derrick Thomas.
Smith played from 1985-1999 with Buffalo, then spent four years in Washington. He finished with 200 sacks, the most since they began an official statistic in 1982.
Woodson, who played cornerback and safety from 1987-2003 with Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Oakland — and also played some offense — had 72 interceptions. Sharpe, who played for Denver and Baltimore from 1990-2003, holds the records for receptions by a tight end with 815. And Randle had 137 sacks from defensive tackle for Minnesota and Seattle from 1990-2003.

Moist, airy, and light strawberry shortcake recipe with homemade whipped cream. This simple and elegant cake is perfect in celebrating all occasions.
Strawberry Shortcake is probably one of the most popular and classic cake in Japan. Whether it's for birthdays or Christmas (did you know this cake is also sold as "Christmas Cake"?) or any type of celebration, we enjoy Strawberry Shortcake all year around.
In Japan we often bring cakes when we visit friends and family, and homemade strawberry shortcake is a really nice and thoughtful gift. I hope you try this fabulous recipe this holiday season to bring to a potluck or serve at the end of your dinner party.
A Japanese strawberry shortcake is made of 2-3 layered sponge cake with fresh strawberry slices, whipped cream filling, and whipped cream frosting.
This cake might seem rather simple, yet when all the components are prepared perfectly, it's comes together as an amazing dessert. It's like simplicity at its best.
The majority of recipes for strawberry shortcakes are very similar, so what makes them different? It all comes down to the various technique you use when making it. I want to thank my dear friend Naomi for spending hours in my kitchen testing different variations of strawberry shortcake recipes with me. We spent days testing and made so many cakes, and we decided this is by far the best one.
Because this recipe requires detailed explanations, it was impossible for Mr. JOC to take step-by-step pictures AND film the video at the same time. Therefore, we opted and focused on step by step pictures at this time because I can't explain everything in our short video. We'll add a video for this recipe in the future.
Components of Strawberry Shortcake
This recipe is probably the longest recipe ever on my blog, with close to 50 steps. I know it's a bit of an overkill but I really think these step-by-step pictures are helpful and I can explain the step a little more in details along the way.
Strawberry shortcake consists of 3 components: sponge cake, whipped cream, and strawberries. It's simple as that. However, to create the perfect sponge cake and whipped cream involves many techniques.
And to make a really good shortcake, precise measurement (please use a kitchen scale and thermometer!) really helps, especially if you don't bake often.
Sponge Cake
Japanese sponge cake is very moist, airy, light, and it's not overly sweet. Personally I think this is the most important part of the cake.
The sponge cake is a genoise cake, made by beating air into eggs to make it rise rather than a chemical leavening agent like baking soda or baking powder.
The dimensions of the sponge cake we need to consider include sweetness, the elasticity, and the texture.
The sponge cake cannot be too sweet or else it overpowers the whipped cream and the tartness of the strawberry. The sweetness has to be perfectly balanced with the rest of the cake.
When you bite into the sponge cake, it needs to have some elasticity and firmness to bite into. Once again, if it's too hard or too soft, it ruins the cake.
Lastly, the texture of the sponge and probably the most critical. The size of the bubbles within the sponge needs to be consistent, not too rough on the tongue yet it does need some structure so you can feel them on your tongue. This is probably the part I tested the most to achieve the perfect result.
By the way, if you want to bake a flat cake (my cake is a little curve on the top), I found a great article to solve this problem!
Freshly Whipped Cream
To make freshly whipped cream is not too difficult. Before you begin whipping cream, make sure to chill your bowl and cream so that cream will stay cold longer during the whipping process. Basically, cream whips better when it's cold. The temperature affects how long it requires to whip, how light and fluffy it will get, and how long it is likely to stay that way (more science here).
My friend and I have tested the different amount of sugar and we concluded that 8% of sugar to heavy whipping cream ratio is perfect sweetness for the cake.
Fresh Strawberries
The fresh strawberries are probably not the easiest ingredient to purchase depends on where you live. I know I'm spoiled in California where we literally have strawberries all year round. When you select the strawberries, make sure they are equal in size and not too large so they'll be more visually appealing.
Last note, since we do not wash the strawberries and just clean with damp cloth (prevent from going bad and adding moisture to the cream), I do recommend buying organic ones.
Strawberry Shortcake for the Holidays
After going through several tests, I am really happy with my results, and my friends and family who enjoyed the cake agreed as well. I've served it several times over holidays and it's been a huge hit.
The flavor and texture of strawberry shortcake gets even better if you let it rest overnight, so it is also a great make-ahead treat.

- 40 g unsalted butter (40 g = 3 Tbsp)
- 30 ml whole milk (30 mi = 2 Tbsp) (See Note)
- 4 large eggs (1 egg no shell = 50 g)
- 120 g granulated sugar (120 g = ½ cup + 2 Tbsp)
- 120 g cake flour (roughly 1 cup) (No cake flour? See Note)
- Shortening/Cooking Spray/Butter
- 30 ml water (30 ml = 2 Tbsp)
- 38 g granulated sugar (38 g = 3 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp your liquor of choice (See Note)
- 473 ml heavy cream or heavy whipping cream (473 ml = 2 cups/1 Pint package) (36%, at least 30-35% fat)
- 38 g granulated sugar (38 g = 3 Tbsp) (use 8% of heavy cream: 473 ml x 8 % = 38g)
- 450 g Strawberries (450 g = 1 lb) (for filling and decoration – buy extra) (See Note)
- 10 blueberries
- mint leaves
Gather all the ingredients.
- Make sure the eggs and butter are at room temperature. Sift the cake flour at least twice.
- Place the cake pan on top of parchment paper, trace around the pan and cut out the circle. Grease one side of the parchment paper and also both bottom and sides of the cake pan with shortening/cooking spray/butter. Then fit the parchment paper in the cake pan. (I avoid parchment paper on the side because sometimes it pulls the batter and affect the final result of the cake).
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). If you use convection oven, preheat to 325F (160C). It's always better to preheat extra long and see Note below for the reason.
- Prepare a double boiler. If you have never done this before, please see Note section below. Turn on the stove's heat to high and bring the water in the bottom of the saucepan (Pot A) to a rapid boil. When boiling, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Put the 40 g (3 Tbsp.) butter in the small bowl (Bowl #1) and set over the saucepan with simmering water. Let the butter melts gently.
- Once it's melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan and add 30 ml (2 Tbsp.) whole milk and whisk all together. Set aside to keep it around 104F (40C).
- In the stand mixer bowl (Bowl #2), add 4 eggs and break the egg yolks and whites.
- Add 120 g (½ cup + 2 Tbsp.) sugar and whisk to combine.
- In the large pot (Pot B), add water so that it touch the bottom of the stand mixer bowl (Bowl #2) when set over the pot. Unlike "double boiler" method, Bain-marie method required the bowl to touch the warm water. The water should be around 140F (60C), NOT boiling water. Place the bowl on top of Pot B and start whisking. Make sure to keep whisking so the eggs don't become scramble eggs.
- Whisk until the temperature of the egg mixture reached to 104F (40C). Remove from the Pot B and set up on the stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Whisk on high speed (level 10) until the mixture is fluffy, for about 2 minutes. The batter should be loose yet thick and glossy.
- When the batter is pale and fluffy and tripled in volume, slow down to low speed (level 4) for several seconds. Stop and lift up some of the mixture and fold it on itself, and if the batter stays on top of the mixture, that's "ribbon stage" (see Note). Remove from the stand mixer. The batter should look like this.
- Add half of the flour. Using the whisk, fold gently but thoroughly. Do this by rotating your bowl slowly, and simultaneously moving your whisk in a downward then over motion.
- Add the rest of the flour and fold gently to make sure all the flour is incorporated quickly so your mixture doesn't deflate.
- Take out 1 (spatula) scoop of the batter from the bowl and add to the butter & milk mixture.
- Mix very well. We incorporate butter into batter first because fat in butter will deflate the batter if we add the butter directly.
- Add the mixture back to the batter by pouring over the silicon spatula. This prevents the mixture from deflating the batter and helps disperse the mixture. Gently fold in. When you lift the spatula, the batter should fold down like ribbon.
- Pour the batter into the center of the cake pan, from right above the cake pan. You want to avoid introducing extra air into the batter at this point. Collect the leftover batter in the bowl and pour around the edges of the cake pan, not center.
- Drop the cake pan on the counter to release the air bubble in the batter.
- In the preheated oven, bake at 350F (325F for convection oven) for 25 minutes. Check if the sponge cake is done by inserting a skewer in the middle and comes out clean. While waiting for the cake to be baked, move on to cake assemble prepping stage.
- As soon as you take out the cake pan from the oven, drop it on the counter to give shock to the cake (so it stops shrinking). Separate the cake from the pan by running a sharp knife or offset spatula around the pan.
- Take out the cake from the cake pan by placing the wire rack on top of the pan and flip.
- Immediately remove the parchment paper.
- Place another wire rack on top and flip it back. The top of the cake is now facing up.
- Cover with a damp towel until cooled (to keep moisture in the cake). Make sure the towel is thin (not heavy) and squeeze the water out VERY tightly so that it's damp, not "wet'. I use IKEA's dish towel. If you keep the sponge cake for later use, wrap with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge (See Note).
- Divide the strawberries into 2 groups, for decoration and for filling. Keep the beautiful, same-sized strawberries for the decoration. Remove the husk and clean the strawberry with damp paper towel (do not wash, as we don't want strawberries to have moisture and become moldy). Slice off the core for all the strawberries.
- For the strawberries that we use for topping, cut in half. For the strawberries that we use for filling, slice them into ¼ inch (5 mm) slices.
- To make syrup, in a small bowl (Bowl #3), combine 30 ml (2 Tbsp.) water, 38 g (3 Tbsp.) sugar, 1 Tbsp. liquor, and microwave for 1 minute to dissolve the sugar.
- Prepare ice bath by placing ice cubes and water in a large bowl (Bowl #4). Place a clean and dry mixing bowl (Bowl #2) over and add 473 ml (1 Pint) heavy cream and 38 g (3 Tbsp.) sugar to keep cool.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixing bowl to the stand mixer and whisk on high speed. The cream will become thicker and smooth. When you lift the whisk out of the cream while it's still liquid, but holds it shape as it drops, then it's ready. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and put it back in the ice bath.
- With a serrated knife, slice in half horizontally in the middle of the cake. Now you have 2 layers (top and bottom).
- Place the bottom of the cake on the cake circle. Brush the syrup on top and the sides of the bottom layer. This will keep the sponge cake stay moist.
- Start to whisk the cream at one location by the edge of the bowl instead of whisking the entire cream. We will be making the whipped cream as we need. With this approach, we can also control the hardness of the cream.
- When the cream has reached to "soft peaks", take out the cream and transfer to the bottom of the cake. Soft peaks means when you lift the whisk, the cream will hold its line but the top peaks will be soft and after a second or two will fall back on itself.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly. If the whipped cream is not enough, whip more and add more on the cake.
- Place the strawberries on top of the whipped cream as you see in the pictures. Keep the center area open by not covering with strawberries. This will be easier to cut the cake into slices.
- Whip the cream again at the edge of the bowl.
- Transfer the whipped cream to the top of the strawberry layer. Spread just enough cream to cover the strawberries, do not put too much.
- Place the top layer of the sponge cake. Brush the syrup on the top and sides of the sponge cake.
- Whip more cream and place on the top.
- Place the tip of the offset spatula in the center at 30 degree angle, turn cake turntable toward you to create a smooth top. Lightly cover the sides of the cake with thin layer of the cream.
- Now add more cream to the side little by little. Place the offset spatula at 90 degree angle and push the turning table away from you.
- Remove the excess cream from the cake and put back into the bowl.
- For a basic decoration, I use Wilton 2A decoration tip. Put the tip in the piping bag and cut off the tip so the metal will show from the bag. Fold the top half of the bag outward as you see in the picture (over the hands).
- Whip the cream to "stiff peaks". When you lift the whisk, the peaks will hold firm. Put the cream into the piping bag. Once you fill out the bag half way, lift the bag and push the cream down to the tip.
- Squeeze the pipe to test to make sure the cream comes out smoothly. When you're ready, hold the piping bag at 90 degree angle and squeeze about 1 inch diameter of whipped cream around the edge of the cake. This will be the base for the strawberries.
- Decorate and place the strawberries sideways on top of the whipped cream. Then squeeze more whipped cream in between strawberries, dropping small whipped cream all around. Place blueberries between the whipped cream dollops. Place the small mint leaves in some area to add colors.
- Keep the cake in the refrigerator and enjoy it in 2 days.
Cake flour: If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and corn starch. Here's how.
1 cup AP flour - 2 Tbsp. AP flour + 2 Tbsp. cornstarch = 1 cup cake flour
Be sure to sift the flour to distribute the cornstarch well before using it in your cake batter.
Whole milk: I highly recommend using whole milk instead of reduced fat milk. I've tried using both, and I concluded that whole fat milk makes a difference with the final result.
Liquor of your choice: I like orange liqueurs like Grand Manier or Cointreau. You can skip the alcohol, but do not skip the syrup.
Strawberries: If you like to decorate your cake with strawberries, you want to look for similar size strawberries to make it look pretty. Buy an extra pack to increase your chance of finding same size strawberries!
Preheat oven: You preheat the oven so that all the surfaces inside your oven (walls, floor, door, racks) are the desired cooking temperature, which makes for more even temperatures throughout the oven and you won't lose as much heat when you open the door for a few seconds. Depends on your oven, preheating might take 10 to 20 minutes.
Double boiler: Fill the bottom pan with an 1-2 inch of water and set a glass/metal mixing bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Just make sure the bottom of the mixing bowl doesn't touch the surface of the water. The water from the bottom saucepan transfers a gentle, steady heat to whatever you're cooking in the bowl above. Check the bottom pan every now and then to make sure the water hasn't boiled off, and add more water if needed.
Bain-marie: It's the fancy term for a hot water bath, creating a gentle and uniform heat around the food.
Ribbon stage: a cooking term used to measure how well egg yolk and sugar are beaten together. When you lift the whisk into the air with some of the mixture on it, the mixture will fall back into the bowl in ribbons, which only slowly disappear back into the mixture.
Make ahead: You can make the sponge cake a day before. It actually tastes better and it's easier to slice the cake into half. Make sure to wrap the cake with plastic wrap after it's cooled completely. If you decide to make the shortcake ahead of time, remember that it tastes great for 2 days after you assembled the cake. Due to fresh strawberries and whipped cream, the cake won't taste as good on the 3rd day.
Equipment you will need:
- 1 small heat-resistant bowl (Bowl #1)
- 1 small saucepan that fits Bowl #1 for double boiler (Pot A)
- 1 stand mixer bowl or large mixing bowl (Bowl #2)
- 1 large pot that fits the Bowl #2 for bain-marie (Pot B)
- 1 small bowl (Bowl #3)
- 1 large bowl that fits Bowl #2 for ice bath (Bowl #4)
- Parchment paper
- cake pan (8"/20 cm)
- 1 good whisk
- Silicon spatula
- 2 wire racks
- Offset spatula
- Cake decoration tip Wilton 2A & plastic bag
Optional Equipment (but nice to have!):
- Thermometer
- Serrated knife
- cake circle (10"/25 cm)
