Call 718.991.5700 To Speak To A Fine Wine Expert
As summer draws to a close, my feelings are bittersweet. As in years past, I've begun to reflect on all that I've done for the past few months, all of the fresh produce that I've had on the dinner table and of course, all of the delightful, refreshing wine that I've consumed. There was no shortage of rosé this summer and I've added some newly discovered pink wines to my repertoire that are sure to be go-tos for years to come. Bieler Père et Fils Sabine Rosé from Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, Mulderbosch Vineyards Rosé from Stellenbosch, and Prieuré de Montezargues Rosé of Tavel AC, just to name a few. I always have a hard time parting with the summer, yet my sentiments are sweetened by the prospect of a new season and all that it holds in store.
The daylight hours are gradually growing shorter and the nights cooler. The first hints of fall can be detected in the air and my taste is slowly beginning to favor red wines over whites and rosés. As autumn approaches, I've begun to formulate my list of favorite wines for fall, choices which are influenced partially by the cooling weather and largely by the produce that appears at this time of year, the bounty of the harvest. Rich butternut squash soups, savory mushroom ragùs and apple desserts are the first dishes that come to mind, along with hearty stews, roasted vegetables and pumpkin breads. So, what will I be drinking this fall?
Syrahs for Sweater Weather
On chilly autumn nights, I tend to crave a rich, robust red wine with spicy, earthy qualities…bring on the Syrah! The red wines of the Northern Rhône Valley certainly fit the bill here, embodying the full-bodied, warming spicy character that takes the chill off. The wines of Crozes Hermitage offer some of the best values from the region, especially those from renowned producers such as Paul Jaboulet, E. Guigal and Maison Chapoutier.
A few to try include 2007 Paul Jaboulet Aine Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert ($50, IWC – 92 pts), 2007 E. Guigal Crozes Hermitage Rouge ($22, WA – 88 pts) and 2007 Maison Chapoutier Crozes Hermitage Les Varonnieres ($48, IWC – 90-93 pts).
For a special occasion, an early fall harvest celebration or, dare I say it, for your Thanksgiving wine (it will be here before we know it!), try a Syrah from Côte Rôtie or Hermitage. The 2003 Domaine Delas Freres Côte Rôtie la Landonne ($167, WA – 96 pts) and 2004 Maison Chapoutier Ermitage Le Meal ($99, WA – 90+) are excellent choices in the splurge category.
Fall Wines from the Rhône Valley
Grenache-Syrah blends from the Southern Rhône Valley,with their irresistible lushness and jammy quality, are ideal for taking the chill off of autumn evenings. Wines that catch my fancy at this time of year come from the appellations of Châteauneuf du Pape, Vacqueyras and Gigondas, and reputable producers such as Chateau de Beaucastel, Domaine du Pégau and Clos des Papes. This fall, cozy up with the 1998 Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf du Pape ($125), the 2000 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Reservée ($85) or the 2004 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf du Pape ($75).
Rhône Rangers
Don't forget the Rhône Rangers when making your fall wine selections! Producers in California's Central Coast have been key advocates of Rhône grape varietals outside of the Rhône Valley. "Rhône Rangers" is not just a cute moniker, this is an actual non-profit organization that promotes Rhône style wines in the Golden State. We are big fans of their efforts and would drink these yummy single-varietal wines and blends 'til the cows come home (if it weren't for certain other responsibilities). Our favorite Rhône Ranger wines include the 2009 Jaffurs Syrah Santa Barbara ($30, WA – 92 pts) and the 2008 Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Beaucastel Rouge Paso Robles ($43).
Italian Wines for Fall
Each fall, I find my mind drifts toward Italian wines, especially those of Northern Italy. Many of Piedmont's wines, whether from Nebbiolo, Barbera or Dolcetto grapes, tend to possess an appealing layer of earthiness, reminiscent of a berry patch or the forest floor. Italian cuisine from this region offers that same earthy quality, pronounced by the use of wild mushrooms and game meats. Italy works magic with foods of the fall forage! These Northern Italian foods and wines are a match made in heaven and it's no wonder that they have such an appeal during the autumn season, when we start to crave heartier fare and more robust wines.
Keep in mind that wines from the slow-ripening Nebbiolo varietal, renowned for its extremely powerful tannins, can age for decades, so best to go for one that has had some time in the cellar. Both Barolo and Barbaresco, Piedmont's most prestigious appellations, are made from 100% Nebbiolo. Signature qualities of Barolo wines include red fruit character, floral aromas of rose or violet, and hints of tar, mushrooms and leather. Barbaresco is the not as powerful and concentrated as Barolo, but shares many of the same enchanting characteristics.
Many Barberas offer a great value from the region, typically showcasing lively cherry flavors, wonderful, food-friendly acidity and the underlying earthiness that I'm after in the fall. Dolcetto, the "little sweet one", is another great value from Northern Italy. In general, Dolcettos are supple, fruit-forward wines with sweet plum aromas and flavors, delicate tannins and soft acidity. Barbera and Dolcetto are both easy to drink, palate pleasers in a nutshell!
Here are some of Northern Italy's finest from renowned producers:
2005 Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco ($62)
2004 Domenico Clerico Barolo Pajana ($87)
2006 Elio Grasso Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera ($75)
2004 Alfredo Prunotto Barolo Bussia ($70)
2007 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili ($149)
2008 Ca Rome Barbaresco Chiaramanti ($69)
2007 La Spinetta Barbera d'Asti Ca' di Pian ($24)
2009 Moccagatta Barbera d'Alba ($19)
Cabernets for Coat Season
As temperatures continue to drop and we start donning our jackets more frequently, rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons have a definite appeal. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape has a far-reaching reputation and is widely planted throughout the world's wine regions from Bordeaux to Australia. Well-loved by grape growers, for its resistance to disease, and wine lovers, for its satisfying richness and tannic structure, Cabernet Sauvignon is just the thing for a chilly late-fall evening.
When it comes to Cabernet Sauvignons for the fall and winter season, California is often my go-to region. Stellar California producers that are sure to quench my thirst this fall include Ramey Wine Cellars and Altamura Vineyards.
Founded by David and Carla Ramey, Ramey Wine Cellars is located in the charming town of Healdsburg, in the heart of Sonoma County. David Ramey is one of California's leading winemakers, recognized for contributing innovative techniques to New World winemaking, while staying true to Old World traditions. David has a graduate degree in winemaking from the University of California at Davis and began his career working at the legendary Chateau Pétrus in Bordeaux, where he was exposed to the great French winemaking traditions. Back home in California, he went on to make wine at Chalk Hill, Matanzas Creek, Dominus Estate and Rudd Estate, helping to establish these well known wineries. David's work, pioneering the use of native yeasts, as well as malolactic and barrel fermentation, has successfully created a luxuriant wine style that has garnered acclaim the world over.
Ramey Wine Cellars specializes in Cabernet blends, Chardonnay and Syrah, and crafts both a single-vineyard series, as well as an appellation series. Ramey's Cabernets are spectacular expressions of Napa terrior. The 2006 Ramey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley ($40) and single-vineyard 2008 Ramey Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard ($149) are both excellent and fitting choices for the fall season.
Well off the beaten path in Napa Valley, Altamura Vineyards and Winery is the only winery located in Wooden Valley, situated high amidst pastoral, rolling hills. Frank and Karen Altamura established the winery in 1985 and practice a careful, hands-on approach to grape growing and winemaking. Frank's passion for winemaking is clear in each bottle of the winery's highly collectible wines. The 2007 Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley ($99) is highly rated by both the Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator and one need only have a sip to become a devotee of this exceptional winery.
Finally, the 2007 Faust Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley ($42) is a wine of outstanding quality and value. This decadent wine, offering lavish layers of black currant and dark chocolate, is the archetypal Napa Valley Cabernet, with all of its seductive charm and power. There is no doubt that it will keep you warm and fuzzy as the temperatures drop this fall and winter.
Faust Cabernet Sauvignon is the inspired project of Agustin Huneeus, owner of the renowned fine wine estates Quintessa, in Napa Valley, and Veramonte, in Chile's Casablanca Valley. Ten years after Quintessa's first release, temptation knocked on Agustin's door, luring him to create a wine dedicated not to Napa's terroir, but to majestic Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa's reigning grape varietal, and we couldn't be more grateful!

DIGI 125 - right VAS selection
Hi all,
I've been building and modifying a DIGI 125 based on infornation in a couple of old threads. The unmodified Circuit is contained in this post.
I originally built the amp with a BC546 for Q3 (VAS) as specified. As described in a couple of other threads, Q3 runs hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch. My test power supply outputs 25-0-25 VDC but I intend to use 35-0-35 VDC on my final amp so I was a little concerned about the temperature of this device. So following the recommendations, I replaced Q3 with a BF469 (TO 126). I also have a BD139 ready to test at a later date. The BF469 runs cool so I achieved what I wanted. I thought I noticed a drop in volume requiring me to turn up the pot a little, but this wasn't done scientifically so its only an impression.
I've built a couple of amps now but I am still a novice and don't quite understand the process for detemining to correct device for a VAS transistor. I just blindly followed others advice which can be dangerous. So here are the important specifications (what I think are important anyway) of the 3 devices mention above.
Vceo = 65 volts
Vcbo = 80 volts
Vbeo = 6 volts
hfe = 330
Vceo = 250 volts
Vcbo = 250 volts
Vbeo = 5 volts
hfe = 114 (measured)
Vceo = 80 volts
Vcbo = 100 volts
Vveo = 5 volts
hfe = 150 (measured)
Looking at these specifications I would conclude that the BC546B should have been OK using my test PS but probably underrated for a 35-0-35 PS based on Vceo. The BF469 has a significant drop in hfe, so the BD139 should be the better choice.
Can someone suggest other alternatives?
Am I on the right track in selecting these devices or should I be looking at other paramenters?
What is the significance of Vedo?
BTW: I have read many threads which probably contains the answers, but the information was not quite specific enough for me, with my limited knowledge, to understand.

HI Greg,
The most important parameter for the VAS is speed.
Not too fast, not too slow, around 100MHz is about right.
You should also have a collector base capacitance not exceeding about 2.5pF.
Beta should be no less than about 60, and it's best to go for something with a dissipation of at least a couple of watts, and around 2.5 times the rail voltage as Vceo.
In closing, don't go for high current devices, as they are slow and usually low beta. Try for a transistor with a maximum collector current no more than 200mA, and more properly, 100mA.

Thanks for the feedback Hugh,
I think I follow what you have said.
In short, none of the transistors, BC546B BF469 BD139, really meet all the specifications, as all have one or two undesireable parameters. I've been looking through my catalogues and none of the readily available transistors have the right specifications.
I've been looking for a transistor database on the web that allows me to search for the right specifications. Does one exist?
The search contiues!!

Hi Greg,
Yes, I think on balance you are quite right. I have found the RS Components and Farnell catalogues a good start point; I did once find a good site on the net, but it's difficult these days to get pdfs of transistor specs - they want payment.
Most of the suitable transistors for VAS are TO126 or TO220 cases, and the best of them, in my view, are the Sanyos.
Sent your package today!! You should have it Wednesday at the latest.......

Sorry Hugh, I have a different approach to this than you do.
The VAS is a current gain with a capcaitor across it to achieve a low pass roll-off. In your circuit the capacitor is 150pF.
I recommend:
gating factors
+ Vce (you will need >70V)
+ Ic (you will need >22mA)
+ power dissipation (you will need >500mW)
+ high beta
+ high ft
+ low Ccb
I don't think package type is important. TO92 is fine provided the transistor is rated for 500mW. I don't think there is any upper limit on desirable ft. You should locate C2 close to the transistor.
You'd be better off replacing the 2k2 resistor with a 10mA CCS both from a performance point of view and from a power dissipation point of view.
You might consider: ZTX653 or 2SD756. There are plenty of others too. I would not recommend BD139.

[B]Hi all,

I don't understand how you plan to bias your outputs in this way. I have used MJ802 & MJ4502 high current devices and I must warn you about the darlingtion connection.
You typically don't want to put transistors that are not matched in direct darlington connection without emitter resistors, especially in a class AB power circuit because it is very unstable and can pop your outputs. I know these are not the cheapest output transistors so I don't want to see you loose $$$$
What do you know about temp. coefficent compensation?? I am sure you will have to use some sort of bias servo shceme to address this issue on account of these outputs are capable of high power and therefore will get hot.
If you are interested I can post a circuit sketch of a good way to bias these outputs so they work well and are very stable.
It can be done!!!

hi traderbam,
Thanks alot for your input. You were right on with the level of technical details as I was able to understand it all.
Currently, I have replaced the 2K2 with a bootstrap and was very impressed with the results. I'll probably try a CCS in the future.
Thanks for the recommendations, ZTX653 or 2SD756, I'll have a look at the specifications.

hi cunningham,
I've actually used 2SC5200/2SA1943 output transistors and they seem to work fine. This biasing has been done with 3 instead of 2 diodes and the output transistors run cold. When I tried 4 bias diodes the output transistor heated up very quickly, so I realise I need something between the two. I intent to try a proper bias cct in eventually.
I have put a 220 ohm emiter resistor between the two driver transistors if that what you mean, but before I put it in I didn't notice any problem.
There's no temperature compensation at the moment. As everything except the VAS transistor runs cold, at the moment I don't think there is a problem. This is also a future plan when I replace the biasing diodes.
I would appreciate your offer cct for the biasing. I've been looking but haven't really decided on what to use.
I started with this cct (the DIGI125) because it was so simple and actually works. Its been interesting adding parts to it to see how they improve things. Generally, the additional bias diode and bootstraping on the VAS resistor made the most significant differences.
Thanks again
No smoke yet.

output biasing
Hi Grege,
In this circuit, D1 and D2 are 1A power diodes because they have a forward bias voltage greater than that of the base to emitter juction of outputs. ECG 185 type is the bias servo mounted with the outputs so that the temperature is the same. ECG185 type transistors have beta value close to MJ802 & MJ4502. Temperature coeffiecent is related to beta value. This allows you to adjust the bias on the outputs to just above cuttoff. measure the voltage accross the 0.1 Ohm emitter resistor, with no load. As soon as you see a few milivolts, your good.
The reason I used diodes between the bases of the outputs is explained in the Thevenin equivalent circuit for the AC model of a BJT. (see AC model.jpg on next post)
re is an internal component of a BJT. It is different depending on usually current rating, and gain. Basically, as the NPN transistor conducts more, the voltage on re and RE cause a voltage drop between the output and the NPN base. The emitter of the PNP output is at the potential of the load, or Vout, but the PNP base is pulled up by the two dioes D1 & D2 which drives the PNP output further into cut-off, which is good. As the signal crosses 0V, the voltage between the NPN base and emitter is back to 0.6V because the change in Vbe is porportional to the AC signal. Doing this will make your outputs happy.
The dependent current source (the collector) is dependent on base current and Beta.
By adding an emmitter resistor and base resistor, matching up transistors is not as important because re is not as big of a factor. The percent difference of re is larger than the percent difference of re + RE. True that adding an emitter resistor will reduce the gain, but not having to match componants is much cheaper.
You would drive this circuit with a VAS output of 0VDC and an impeadence of about 6-7000Ohms and a voltage of 23VRMS. By mounting ECG 54 & 55 on two separate 5W heatsinks, their temp. doesn't change very much so thier temperature coefficient is not a factor in the biasing, adding to stability. This is not a true darlington connection because the diodes bias the emitters of the drivers. Usually darlington pairs come in an inegrated package and are perfectly matched transistors inside and of course are always the same temp.
You can use any general purpose transistors for the current sources as long as they can handle 80V. only 100mW though so you might keep them small.
You can drive this circuit pretty hard and it is not likely that you will have any thermal runaway problems from it as long as your heat sink can sink 100W!!
Hope this helps a little.

Always remember it can only take a uSec to fry a transistor...
You can adapt this circuit to use higer voltage and less current for an 8Ohm load if you are using 2SC5200/2SA1943 as for this is what these devices are designed for. still 100W

Gotta love our towns heated sidewalks. Makes winter walks a little easier:).
Horribly cold and snowy here. We've been burning off puppy energy in the basement. Full basement with nothing but a couple of boxes of old stuff so lots of room to play. Thank goodness as negative wind chills are not my thing!

They use the hot water from the nearby power plant throughout downtown. It's great, I can walk on clean, even dry sidewalks, then cut over just a couple blocks and let the dog run and play in 2 ft of snow.
I can't even imagine how horrible a blizzard is. Do you have booties for your dog?
A few years ago I read this book, The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin, taken place in the late 1800's in the midwest. Ever since reading that, I am so grateful for every day for decent weather.
We've been hovering around 20-30 degrees F here. It's just been cloudy and kind of icy all winter. Sometimes we get freezing fog which is not fun. It doesn't really affect our routine except I try to be more active in playing tag/fetch because it keeps me warm. We went up in the mountains today and it was literally driving above the clouds. Once we got started snowshoeing, it must have been 40 degrees with three and a half feet of snow on the ground. I was roasting. :eyeroll:
I feel real bad for you guys in the Midwest. I lived there most of my life and the winters were awful, but not this awful.

Get out of a murky Big East that is hanging out by threads and tape and into one of the richest conferences with one of the best histories. Don't blame them at all.But the Big Ten and Maryland? Why? The Big Ten doesn't need Maryland at all for on-the-field support. Maryland's football program would be among the worst in the Big Ten and their basketball has been in a funk over the past several years. Maryland brings nothing.Well, they do bring the Washington DC television market. And Rutgers would bring the New York/Philadelphia market. Oh so everyone assumes. Sure, those markets may be forced to have the Big Ten Network on their cable provider's blocks ... but it isn't as if it will get many more viewers.The Terps sit well behind the Redskins, Ravens and Orioles and a bit behind the Wizards, Capitals and Nationals. And, well, just ask any New Yorker or Philadelphian how important catching the Rutgers game is. From a competitive standpoint, adding Maryland and Rutgers is absurd. From a rating standpoint, even more absurd. From a market standpoint, quite a reach.While you get to be on television lineups in the Beltway and Jersey, that doesn't mean it will be on many people's TV screens. It could also take a lot out of those Midwestern fans' TVs when their Wisconsin squad gets the "pleasure" of facing off against the Terps or Knights. It sure isn't Notre Dame they'd be getting. And not many of those folks will fall over themselves to travel from Nebraska to half way across the country to New Jersey. Honestly, it doesn't make sense. As for Maryland ... why leave the ACC which you were a charter member of, won a football and basketball championship, to join a league where you will be the ultimate afterthought? You know how Boston College has been the bastard child of the ACC? You will be that for the Big Ten. You will be that weird stop like West Virginia now is to the Big 12. I do understand Maryland's main gripes. Of all the schools that complain about the ACC's Carolina-centric views, Maryland has always been front and center. That, despite the ACC's addition of five schools near or north of Maryland and two schools in Florida over the past 20 years. But even that has hurt the Terps. Virginia, their formal natural rival, has now buddied up with new addition Virginia Tech. Duke, the Terps' mortal enemy in basketball, now has moved away from that rivalry now that the conference has grown. Maryland will no longer face Duke twice every season anymore ... and that bothers Maryland and, well, no one else. Maryland always feel like Jan Brady in Marsha's shadow. So now they want out of the relationship and, yes, the Big Ten seems like a nice place to squat. But if trading in your respectability for some cash (that you need and don't have right now ... and will become even worse with a $50M exit fee due to the ACC), then go for it.The ACC can replace Maryland with UConn and be just fine. UConn brings New England along with the New York market (remember that the ACC already has Boston College and Syracuse) and their contributions to football and basketball will instantly be greater.Good luck with that Maryland.

If you can't beat them, sue them. NY and MA dealers slap Tesla Motors with lawsuit

If you can't beat them, sue them. NY and MA dealers slap Tesla Motors with lawsuit
Innovate or die, or in NY and MA sue your competitor so they play by your rules. Tesla Motor company, makers of the Model S electric car that just won Automobile Car of the Year is coming under fire for their sales practices. Unlike traditional car manufactures such as BMW that build cars and support a network of dealerships to do the sales, Tesla is selling directly to the public. This is rubbing the ingrained establishment of dealer networks the wrong way.
Robert O'Koniewski, the executive vice president of the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association, is suing Tesla for opening a store in a local mall.
In Massachusetts, franchise law 93B prohibits a manufacturer from owning a dealership, O'Koniewski says. An auto dealer association in New York is also suing Tesla.
Typically, car manufacturers build the cars, then ship them out to local car dealers, which have to meet the various manufacturers' standards.
Manny Quinones is a sales manager at one of those dealers, Manhattan Motorcars in New York.
"We're multibrand, so we have brand-specific showrooms," he says.
Each brand represents another manufacturer that can require expensive equipment and training. Not having to meet those various needs, O'Koniewski says, gives Tesla an unfair advantage.
Do you think NY and MA are blocking new innovation with their laws?

NHL cancels November schedule
The Penguins are off until December.
The NHL on Friday canceled regular-season games through Nov. 30, though the league — for now — has kept the lucrative New Year's Day Winter Classic on the docket.
Twenty-three Penguins games have been purged, including 11 at Consol Energy Center. Nine games in October were canceled as part of two previous rounds of cuts.
A Penguins home game last season was worth about $2.1 million to the region, including team revenue, the Tribune-Review reported Sept. 15.
The NHL had canceled games in two-week increments, but Friday's development was not unexpected, as the owners' lockout of players hit Day 41.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement the league "deeply regrets" the latest cancellations. Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr said in a statement the NHL decision was "deeply disappointing for all hockey fans."
The sides have not negotiated since Oct. 18. No sessions are scheduled.
The NHL's latest proposal was pulled Friday. It called for an immediate 50/50 split of revenue on a new labor agreement to replace the one that expired Sept. 15.
Players most recently proposed a gradual move toward a 50/50 revenue split.
Owners and players also differ on how current contracts will be honored and structural issues such as method of discipline and future contract lengths.
Players are to receive an escrow check near the end of October. They are paid bimonthly and will miss four salary checks with the latest slate of scrapped games. However, the escrow payment essentially will cover the loss of the first two missed checks.
Had a deal been reached Thursday, the NHL believed a full, 82-game season could have been salvaged, with games starting Nov. 2. Training camps would have opened Friday.
The league has plans for a redrafted schedule of no more than 70 games that would begin Dec. 1 if a deal is struck in November.
The Classic — scheduled for Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs — is considered a big bargaining chip for both sides. The game involves a Canadian club for the first time and is the official start of broadcast network (NBC) coverage of games.
The NHL worked a clause into its contract with the University of Michigan that would limit financial obligation to the school if the Classic is canceled because of a labor dispute.
No Penguins players were at Southpointe for organized training sessions Friday.
"Weren't going to be many guys, so everyone just bailed," club union rep Craig Adams said in a text message.
Only six Penguins players attended three on-ice workouts this week. The sessions are scheduled to resume Monday, though veterans such as Adams and Matt Cooke said they will more seriously consider options to play elsewhere in the wake of the latest cancellations.
Three Penguins (Evgeni Malkin, Dustin Jeffrey and Deryk Engelland) are playing in Europe on temporary contracts that will allow them to return when the lockout ends.
Sidney Crosby, who has joined about 25 other NHL players for a week of training in Plano, Texas, had said he would "have to seriously look at" his European options if the entire November schedule was whacked.
"It would force me to think about it much differently," he said. "If they say they're going to end talks for a while, I'm going to have to think about things."

Not long ago, spina bifida carried a grim prognosis: most patients didn't survive past their twenties. Now almost all of them will live far into adulthood, thanks to tremendous advances in care. While Dr. William Walker marvels at this progress, he also knows it brings humbling new challenges and responsibilities.
"We've figured out the nuts and bolts of keeping these kids alive and relatively healthy," says Walker, chief of the University of Washington's Division of Developmental Medicine and principal investigator in the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development. "Now we need to understand what kinds of lives they're living and how we can make them better."
Walker is launching a new study aimed at quantifying the physical activity levels of children with spina bifida, a birth defect that can severely limit coordination and walking ability. The study will also identify which real-world activities these children participate in. This could help researchers understand why obesity is a growing problem among patients with spina bifida, and may lead to new interventions that help these patients lead more active, healthier lives.
For the study, a pilot project funded through Seattle Children's Academic Enrichment Fund, Walker's team is recruiting 48 kids with spina bifida. The researchers will start by measuring how far each child travels during a six-minute walk test or wheelchair shuttle run. Each child will then wear an accelerometer – a watch-like device that keeps track of how far they walk or push their wheelchair – for a week.
This will let Walker and his co-investigators, Drs. Thomas McNalley and Kristie Bjornson, determine how a child's capacity to be mobile affects their real-world participation in typical activities. Study participants and their parents will answer questionnaires about which activities the kids usually participate in, and which ones they do while wearing the accelerometers.
"We'll use the data to figure out how these kids' activity levels compare to kids who are typically developing," Walker says.
This will help the researchers define reasonable expectations for how active kids with spina bifida can be. Walker suspects that some patients might be very sedentary even though they can walk fairly well or push their wheelchairs long distances. He hopes to eventually develop interventions that improve these children's physical activity levels, reducing their risk of becoming obese and improving their overall health.
"It might be as easy as telling parents which activities these kids can do instead of focusing on the ones they can't," Walker says. "That would be very refreshing to families, and could really empower the kids to do new things."

Satellites forewarn of locust plagues
13 June 2017
Satellites are helping to predict favourable conditions for desert locusts to swarm, which poses a threat to agricultural production and, subsequently, livelihoods and food security.
Desert locusts are a type of grasshopper found primarily in the Sahara, across the Arabian Peninsula and into India. The insect is usually harmless, but when they swarm they can migrate across long distances and cause widespread crop damage.

It is Friday, and that means it is time for Friday's Five, our weekly series covering five of the most interesting stories from the world of European Hockey.
5. The exodus home. Many NHL players are returning home to North America in hopes that a lockout resolution is close. They will likely return to Europe after the holidays if the NHL and NHLPA haven't reached an agreement, but the balance of power will be shifting dramatically for many of the European hockey teams that were relying on NHL players to score goals (or to prevent them).
The teams that benefit are obviously the ones that have little-to-no NHL talent on their rosters. From a European hockey agent:
"I have been talking to a number of teams on the continent today who have NHL guys on their rosters. It seems that quite a few of them have been told by their NHL agents today, to get ready to return within the next week. One GM told me today that a contact of his in the NHL had advised that they are now looking at 2nd January restart."
Those comments, if true, are music to the ears of NHL fans. However, at this point in the negotiations, it is difficult to get optimistic about anything.
4. Matt Duchene has left Sweden, but he isn't coming back to Colorado. He transferred over to the NLA to suit up for Ambri-Piotta (the same club that Cory Schneider signed with a few weeks ago). Duchene immediately becomes the best forward/skater on the club. He had spent most of the season playing for Frolunda in the SEL.
I wonder if these comments had anything to do with Duchene's move? He ripped into some of his teammates a few weeks back:
"If this was in the NHL, five players would be sent down to the minors after a game like this. But here, players are too comfortable. There are 33 million Canadians that would sacrifice an arm to play hockey at this level."
And speaking of Schneider, his level of play has been as advertised in Switzerland. Through four games, the talented American goaltender is putting up impressive numbers – including a 2.25 goals-against-average,
3. I discussed Linus Omark's successes in my column last week, and it appears that the Detroit Red Wings have caught wind of Omark's performance as well (Omark skates on a line with two Red Wings players – Damien Brunner and Henrik Zetterberg). The cost for Detroit to acquire Omark from Edmonton wouldn't be much more than a mid-round draft pick. Omark had been on the NHL trade block last year without drawing much interest.
Success in Europe doesn't always translate over to the NHL (as we saw with Mattias Weinhandl, the "third Sedin" before Alex Burrows came along), but it seems like a worthwhile risk for the Wings to make. It would also allow them to spread their offensive attack throughout the lineup a bit more.
Brunner has been fantastic this season in Switzerland, as you can see here. He is outpacing every NHL player skating in Europe right now.
2. Los Angeles Kings backup goaltender Jonathan Bernier has committed to tend goal for Canada's team at the upcoming Spengler Cup tournament (assuming the NHL is still locking its players out). The tournament takes place in late December in Germany, but Canada won't announce their roster until only a few days before the tournament (to ensure they aren't wasting any spots on NHL players that don't end up making the trip over).
NHL players currently playing in Switzerland, including Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza, and John Tavares, have all shown interest in suiting up for Canada in a couple of weeks.
"The Spengler Cup is a six-team tournament that dates back to 1923. Traditionally, Canada sends a group of pros based in Switzerland along with a handful of guys from other European leagues and the American Hockey League.
Canada last won the event 2007, when it had veteran Curtis Joseph in goal."
1. If you are pessimistic about the NHL lockout ending any time soon, perhaps it is time to look ahead to the 2013 World Hockey Championship. The tournament takes place each April, and Canada usually has a roster comprised of NHL players who are not taking part in the Stanley Cup playoffs (Rick Nash usually dominates at this tournament). This year, Canada would be able to put together a stacked roster if the lockout extends all season, although the other nations in the tournament would be able to do the same. It could be the next time we see a team full of NHL players skating together in a game of any significance.
Canada has not won the tournament since 2007, and they are currently priced as underdogs at a +450 payout.

Just when everything seems to be at its height for the release of what it seems the most anticipated movie of the century there is another glitch in the process. Bombay High Court has found some prima facie evidence that there have been a few copyright infringements in the movie. The court has directed actor-producer Shah Rukh Khan to deposit Rs 1 crore with the court before going ahead with releasing his dream project.
"The defendants (Sharukh, his production house Red Chillies Entertainment and Eros Entertainment) are directed to deposit a sum of Rs one crore as pay-order to the court and then release the movie," a division bench composed of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice Roshan Dalvi said.
A petition was filed by television writer and producer Mr. Yash Patnaik. Apparently he is contending to be the originator of both the concept and content of 'Ra.One'. Patnaik claims that he owns the original copyrights for the Red Chillies Entertainment production.
In addition the court also made it clear that if SRK and Red Chillies Entertainment failed to deposit the asked sum by tomorrow it will make an injunction operable against the movie's release.
"It is the most unfortunate part of the film industry that people use others' concepts and then don't want to pay or give them credit," the division bench commented. The final decision in the case however is still pending and the court plans to hear the arguments of the defenders in the due course.
The movie which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal is scheduled to be released on the 26th of October. Patanaik is pleading for a stay order on the film's release until he is given all the required credits for the concept and content of 'Ra.One'. And in case he is not given the right credits he has sought for a 10% profit margin in the profits the movie makes.
Senior advocate Ravi Kadam who is Patnaik's lawyer claimed that the character played by Shah Rukh Khan, i.e. the superhero in 'Ra.One' very much resembles the one Patnaik conceptualized in 2006.
"The super-villain of Patnaik's script was called 'One', which has been used by Shahrukh in the movie's title," Kadam added.
SRK's lawyer senior advocate Virendra Tulzapurkar on the other hand argued that his client's script, concept and content are completely different from that of Patnaik's. Besides Patnaik cannot claim copyright on this script as he has used a team of experts to develop his concept.
The judges though postponed the hearing of the case to a later date did not help commenting that it seemed from the prima facie that there had been a copyright violation.

Sixto, sorry to hear of your loss.
This is a discussion on Warning for Dog Owners within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Sixto, I'm sorry for your family's loss. Something like that I'd never anticipate. I appreciate the head's-up....

Sorry for your loss.

I'm a dog guy, its awful quite not having a dog around the house. My home is otherwise very active with young kids and two working adults...but no dog. I feel guilty search for another one already, but I can't stand not having a dog.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Hey SIXTO, sorry to hear that, a good dog is a hard thing to lose. THANKS for the heads-up though. I have a life stages crate for my Lab just like the one you have, folds down and all, made by MidWest homes for pets. It will be replaced today.
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier

-- Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)
Wow, SIXTO, sorry for your loss; I know that hurts. My dog, Tangle (guess where my forum name came from?) is getting up in years and I know 'that' day is coming; it's gonna hurt.
Here's another heads up. Tangle kept getting out of our chain link fence at the gates. A larger dog we kept for a while damaged the gate by chewing the aluminum ties at the bottom of the gate, so Tangle, being a smaller 22 lb dog figured she could squeeze out and did so. Here's the heads up - I repaired the gate with cable ties and Tangle chewed through them and got out again. So I went to ACE and got the real aluminum wire ties and repaired it and she chewed through them and got out again. So be aware that dogs can chew throught cable ties.
I'm too young to be this old!
Getting old isn't good for you!
Dogs can chew through about anything if they are determined, my goal with the zips ties is to slow them down a bit, and hopefully you will notice they have been working on it before a tragedy happens.
As a side note, I had a bird dog that was a great escape artist when he was a pup. We had to tie the door shut on his crate because he figured out how to open the latches. Then, he started to untie the rope. Not chew it off, but he untied them. I gave up on the crate for him, he roamed the house until he went to the big bean field to chase pheasants everyday.

Sixto, sorry about the loss of your family's dog.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
Sorry to hear about your dog. My dog used to sleep in a crate but when I was deployed last year my wife let him sleep in bed with her, good thing its a queen size and he's only 15 lbs cause he doesn't want anything to do with the crate anymore.

Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal are once again ready to take their viewers to another level of comedy. Both are ready to launch new laughter missiles with their upcoming film Oh My God.
The movie Oh My God is based upon a Gujarati play Kanji Viruddh Kanji written by Umesh Shukla. Akshay Kumar is expected to play the role of Lord Krishna while Paresh Rawal will play Kanhaiya.
But this doesn't mean that viewers will discover Akshay Kumar wearing crown and playing Murli. Instead he will be found wearing a leather jacket on his sparkling bike. It seems to be an interesting project.
Film's poster also depicts some other inner story. Well, we are looking forward to this new venture of yours Akshay.

Delta Sonic Wheel Rail Concerns
Hi Guys.
I just traded my well loved but gas guzzling F-150 for a 2013 Focus SE Hatchback. My F-150 has always gone through Delta Sonic Car wash with no concern. I am wondering though about my new Focus and the wheels getting scratched by the wheel rail of the car wash. My F-150 had big tall tires so the rail only contacted the tire. The focus has 215-55-16 tires. From what I can tell, the tire side wall protrudes a bit farther out from the wheel itself so the wheel may not even contact the car wash rail. Does anyone have any experience here to share?
Thanks for the help!
I have 16s too and only scratched them when I pulled in wrong. It's worth noting I have wheel covers/steel wheels.
Thanks for the reply. I dont have the steel wheel with covers so I am a bit concerned. It sounds like if you pull straight into the y shaped track without hitting the sides you will be ok. Is that what you are saying?
Thanks again!
Yes, if you pull in correctly, you'll be fine. I go to two different washes, one has guys directing you, which doesn't work as well. But the other has a huge mirror, and a wide entrance, so you can't fudge it up.
And if they do end up scratching, you can always consider one of those where you pay by time and do it yourself. lol
Thanks for the update!
Well I went to Delta Sonic today...with just over 100 miles on my new car. I rolled the window down and guided myself in (much to the dislike of the attendant). Between the amount that the tire bulges out and the fact that I lined up a bit right of center, I ent through with no problems! My tires are 215-55-16.

Hide now WBC cruiser mandatory!
Arena Box-Promotion stars Herbie Hide, Steffen Kretschmann and Mahir Oral have been received very kindly Monday afternoon in Völklingen (Germany) for the first press conference for the big Arena show on June 26th at Hermann-Neuberger-Halle. Even the mayor of Völklingen Klaus Lorig welcomed the fighters and expressed his excitement for the big show to come. It will be the first professional boxing event in the Saarland region (close to the French border) in 30 years. "Dancing Destroyer" Herbie Hide was in great demand after the WBC has officially confirmed him as mandatory challenger for the winner of the WBC cruiserweight championship between Giacobbe Fragomeni and Krysztof Wlodarczyk (May 16th in Milan, Italy). "Originally I was meant to fight Matt Godfrey in a final elimination bout", states Hide. "But Godfrey pulled out of the fight twice. This boy has been ducking me for more than half a year now. He is afraid of me – and I can't blame him for that. I would have kicked his ass from Völklingen right back to the hole in the States where he is hiding."
"In fact, Godfrey isn't the only one who is ducking me. Everybody is afraid of the 'Dancing Destroyer' because everybody knows that I am the strongest man in the cruiserweight division. If this German kid Marco Huck ever wants a thorough thrashing he can always contact me. I will knock him out anywhere anytime. He might be powerful but nobody in the division is as powerful as me."
"Remember that I have been knocking out heavyweights my whole life. In the cruiserweight division there is no one who is even fighting in my league. It will be easy for me to win the belt – as long as people actually dare to fight me."
"I am glad that whoever wins in Fragomeni vs. Wlodarczyk can't look past me because I am the mandatory challenger. I will beat both of them the same night if necessary to take what's mine. I promise to all of my fans, to my promoter Ahmet Öner and to my trainer Rocky that I will be the next world cruiserweight champion. As soon as I get a shot at the title the belt will be mine."
Middleweight contender Mahir "Lion" Oral is in the same situation as Hide. The winner of July 11th WBC interim championship between Sebastian Zbik (Germany) and Domenico Spada (Italy) will have to face Oral in their very next fight. Oral will be back in action on June 26th in Völklingen to defend his WBC Mediterranean championship. "This is my final test for the world title fight", says Mahir. "I will not look pass this fight in Völklingen. I know that I have to win and I will do what I have to do."
The third main event of the night will feature promising German heavyweight prospect Steffen Kretschmann in his toughest test so far against experienced Russian Denis Bakhtov. The reigning PABA champion Bakthov has been in the ring with former European champion Sinan Samil Sam and former cruiserweight champion (and recent challenger of Vitali Klitschko) Juan Carlos Gomez. He is coming off of four straight wins and hasn't lost in two years. Still Kretschmann is convinced that he got what it takes to beat Bakhtov. "Of course, Bakhtov is my strongest opponent so far", states Kretschmann. "But if I stay focused and fight my own fight I know that I can beat him. My goal is to fight for the European championship soon. Bakhtov is the first step on my way to that title."
Eurosport will broadcast the show live on June 26th at 9pm. Tickets priced from 20,- to 66,- Euro will go on sale next Monday (May 18th). ARENA presents the show along with local event coordinators "TV Sports" and Friends. For more information see www.boxgala.com.

I had lipo six days ago. Had 6 quarts of fat removed from hips, butt, thighs, knees and ankles. Needed it because, although I am a competitive runner, there was only so much I could do to impact the shape of my legs. My lower body looked just like my 72 year old mother, who has NEVER exercised. The doctor called this "Irish legs." My 16 year old daughter has a gorgeously long, lean body type. My issues were largely genetic.
I had the surgery on a Friday and expected to be back at work Monday. No way. I really hate taking pain pills, but I have used them full out for a week, now. I have needed morning and afternoon naps. Getting up from bed is hugely painful, as is getting in or out of the car or using stairs. I bled like crazy ("drained"), and had to put drop cloths over the bedroom rug. I had to remove sheets from my bed and cover the mattress with contractor bags. Wish I had known to do this before the surgery. That's the bad news.
The good news is, I already look amazingly different. Even though I am swollen and am still wearing a body corset up to my rib cage, I can tell that my body is slimmer and sleeker. I am already happy with my 1 week post op shape and, as I understand it, swelling will continue to go down for another 7 weeks, so I guess my look will continue to improve from here. Wow. I was under general anesthesia for 6 hours. Had a breathing tube inserted, so my voice was not normal for a day or so afterwards. Didn't expect that. I had minor lipo on my knees years ago and they did look better, but I always wanted to take care of the rest of my lower body. It took guts to save the money, arrange the time off work, face the indignity of the procedure and tell the truth to my family about what I wanted done and why. I am really glad I faced down all the reasons NOT to do this and went ahead anyway.
This will be my third procedure with this doctor. He is wonderful. No sense of humor and no sleeziness, just the straight facts and great care. He "gets" it. Some of his before and after shots of other people look a little like he took women and shaped them into men. I was careful to ask him not to do that to me because I like my butt (generally) and my hips. He understood and even suggested we fat-graft a little onto the cellulite dimples in my butt. Great idea. Looks better already.
I lost 60 pounds the "hard" way several years ago, so I know what areas of my body do not respond to diet and exercise. I really felt I had done all I could do on my own and that surgery would be necessary to achieve any further improvement. So, no guilt. After the weight loss, my husband and I began to run together. Now, that is one of our favorite things to do as a couple. I am looking forward to wearing shorts as short as the ones he wears! I didn't have the guts, however, to tell people at work what procedure caused me to be sick for 6 days. I figure it's really none of their business. It's private stuff. I feel no guilt about missing work. After all, I didn't use the health plan to pay for any of it, right?
My kids reaction was not bad. They didn't judge me harshly. My parents were very concerned, but also very interested in learning all the amazing surgery that can be done. This is the first day I have felt well enough to do anything coherent. It really has been nice to be told to take a week off to recover. Generally speaking, it's been not just a physically healing week, but an emotionally healthy time as well.

My shotgun had ridden closet duty for so long that I had not kept it loaded, but I did keep an old M-16 cleaning kit case with it that had bird and buck shot, Sad but my 590 is the oldest weapon I own, got it back after panama in the early 90's, took an old alice ruck strap and made a decent sling for it, I know there are better ones on the market but this works for me, sort of like the 16s cleaning kits pouch serving as a shotgun ammo pouch for me. (replaced all the birdshot with buck and shotgun is loaded for now, will probably be unloaded in a month or so, but for now its getting some love again) Wife gave me grief two months ago when i bought more 12 ga ammo, said something along the lines of "when was the last time you shot that anyway, so why you need more ammo" I told her you can never have too much buckshot, and if its on sale I buy it, need or not.... Now I am glad I did, not that I ever expect to need more than 10 rounds of 12 ga.
Someone asked how much property I own, I actually do not own the property just the house, we rent the lot, and it is not a lot of space. I say 60 yards by 30 yards.
I dont go more than 12 feet from my front door without a firearm, but when I do go out to smoke at night I stay on my porch, that night I was out at the corner of the lot so I could watch the side of the house I felt a threat may come from while I was waiting for the sheriffs to show up, DID NOT TAKE MY OC SPRAY WITH ME, bad choice, lesson learned. I carry oc at work and never really thought about making it part of my home carry, now it is.
AX HANDLE? nah, if I want a club the 590 does that job pretty well, just wish I still had my old m7 bayonette, I used to laugh at the thing because I said heck if I ever had to put it on that 590 in civilian life I was in a world of hurt, Now I think I will get another just for intimidation factor. (maybe not such a good idea, if I had to use it I dont think a jury would be happy with a homeowner who had that EBR with a bayonette too) Yeah I am gonna get one anyway, (I can justify it now to my wife, in two months she wont let me get one) it wont ever git to sit on my shotty but when my friends come over I can play mall nija/tacticool. Never liked sidesaddles before, but I think I am going to add that to the 590 as well. ok done ranting for the day. once again thanks.

''Is your curious wording of 'to avoid a hang, draw and quartering', rather than the more usual 'hung, drawn, and quartered' because you don't actually know whether it should be hanged or hung?'' asks Christopher May, of Balgowlah (Column 8, Saturday). ''Surely not! It should be hung, as in suspended. Hanged would leave you dead, which would render the other two punishments superfluous.'' Hmm. There is much in what Chris says.
''Let's not limit ourselves to the orientation of stamps and envelopes,'' suggests Tony Hendel, of Hunters Hill (Column 8, all last week). ''Did you hear about the theoretical physicist who dropped his morning toast on the ground, only to have it land butter-side up? He concluded that he had buttered it on the wrong side.''
There are some interesting employment opportunities out there. Sue, of Potts Point, has drawn our attention to the Gumtree website, and the following ad in the Jobs / Housekeeping section: ''Looking for a male with athletic build to wash my under garments. Must be willing to wear briefs of my choice (John Paul Young's face on crotch area), and willing to have me (45-year-old female) watch. Meals provided on the day. No talking while loading the washing machine. 2 hours, 1 day a week (pref Sunday). $80 an hour. Call Deb 0405 xxx xxx.''
Time for an update? ''As those who attend the third Test will see, the SCG Trust has demolished the Noble Stand,'' confidently predicts Simon Rice, of Randwick. ''Curious, as the SCG website still reports that the Noble Stand 'is historically significant'.''
''An article in Saturday's Herald about how to treat Chinese tourists states, among other things, that one should not 'offer them sliced pears and green hats','' writes Paul Duncan, of Leura. ''Having lived in Australia for more than 60 years and never once been offered this combination, I wondered what the chances were of these offensive items being foisted upon them.''
Now, to the small matter of the year coming to an abrupt halt. From Column 8's perspective, this year has been one of minor triumphs (we can take a little of the credit, surely, for the partial eradication of the infuriating phrase ''going forward''), and abject failure (try as we might, we have had less success in eliminating the description of anything and anyone who has been around for more than a fortnight as ''iconic''). But overall, it's been a pretty satisfying time. We had the dumped shopping trolleys removed from the National Maritime Museum's garden, and confidently declare imminent victory in the trench warfare struggle to have the world come around to our view on the correct spelling of ''hurrumph''. We saw the total eclipse of the sun.
But we feel that, what with young persons wreaking havoc on the language with texts, tweets and their consequent abbreviations and acronyms, we might as well let the whippersnappers have the last laugh. So, HNY, like, YOLO, totes!

Implementing an MVVM MessageBus with XAML
Download this episode
Using a Messag Bus to communicate between ViewModels is a very common activity when building an application based on MVVM. In this video, I show how you can build a Message Bus that can be created on a per-page basis and easily connected to the ViewModels on a page using XAML.
For a deeper written explanation of this approach, and to download the source code for the project seen in the video, check out my blog post on Slickthought.net.

Just so everyone is not having to change the xaml in Blend. When you add a object data source it asks you for the key of the object at the top of the dialog window.
Any reason you are not using event aggregators provided by prism?
@Ganesh: Not really. This was more of an effort to illustrate different ways to incorporate XAML and design-time support rather than deal with event routing /messaging per se. PRISM is great, but for a lot of apps it is also overkill so this was just a nice, simple way to get some of the goodness provided by things like Event Aggregator without having to dive into PRISM.

" Brand: Knorr / Type: Other Vegetables "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This is just the thing you need to add to your stews, casseroles and hotpots if you want all the flavour without any of the fuss of having to make your own stock, they are just like homemade, really easy to use without having to crumble them in or anything, you just drop them in and let them release all thier flavour, wonderful full flavour and they are made with all natural ingredients, what more could you ask for
I bought these as the only ones in the shop. I thought they might be better than oxo. They contain sugar, vegetables do not need sugar. That's is a batch of split pea soup and a lentil dahl spoilt. The four remaining cubes are in the bin. The sweet ingriedients are Sugar, caramelised sugar, maltodextrose, dextrose. 1.9gram in total in 100ml of stock. that is about half a teaspoonful in a 100ml. If you dont take any sugar in drinks that is sweet! Yuk
The brand of stock cubes that I normally buy is the Knorr cubes as I think they have the best flavour and I like the way they add a little more taste to my cooking than just using plain seasoning.
I recently bought a box of the Knorr cubes as it is the right time of year for me to start making broths and soups and the Knorr cubes are the brand that I like to use.
I paid £1.20 for a box of eight Knorr vegetable cubes from my local mini-market.
The packaging is quite nice looking and it is quite eye catching as it is a bright yellow coloured box that contains the stock cubes. Each of the cubes has a green and silver foil wrapper on it so I think they can be kept very fresh in the larder until they are needed.
The stock cubes are very easy for me to use and all I need to do is pour some boiling water into a jug with a cube in it then stir it around with a wooden spoon until the cube has all melted. This makes me a jug of stock water that can be put into my soup.
I think that the Knorr cubes are good for making other things too and sometimes I will put one into other dishes such as a caserole or a stew. I think that they make the dish or soup taste like it is nicely seasoned and I like to add a cube to my cooking because of this.
The cubes last me a long time as one cube can do a whole pot of soup or if I am making a smaller amount I will half a cube and wrap up the other half and it keeps ok in the cupboard until I need it next time.
There are other flavours of the Knorr cubes available too such as: beef, fish and chicken. I have tried the ham and the chicken cubes as well as the vegetable ones and I thought they were good quality to so I would suggest giving any of the flavours a try as I have had no problems with any of the ones I have tried.
I have bought the cubes from large supermarkets like Tesco and Co-op so they are easy to find when you are doing your weekly shop.
I would suggest giving them a try and they are really nice for home made soups and stews.
I bought a pack of 8 Knorr Vegetable Stock Cubes to use as a base for cauliflower and potatoes soup. They cost me £1.25 in our local shop.
The cubes themselves are individually wrapped in green and silver foil but the inside of the wrapper is made of non stick paper so that the wrapping doesn't stick to the stock cube. The packet is flat and yellow with green writing and the Knorr logo.
Each cube weighs 10g and contains:
Vegetable oil
Potato starch
Yeast extract
Red pepper
....plus various flavour enhancers and preservatives.
Knorr Stock Cubes are seasoned with spices and add a light, but natural flavour to soups, stews and casseroles. To use them you simply put a stock cube in a jug and add three quarters of a pint of boiling water. Stir to dissolve the cube. (Alternatively, use according to your recipe.)
The smell of this stock once it is made up is quite appetising. I did taste the stock although it is not designed to be eaten on its own, and it was slightly salty but also had a strong flavour of vegetables and spices.
100mils of stock made from one cube as directed contains:
7 calories
1g protein
0.2g sugar
0.5g fat
0.9g salt.
Nutritionally this is quite good and if you don't add extra salt to your cooking it is actually quite healthy. If you are on a diet saute some chopped onions and add them to this stock for an excellent French onion, diet soup.
I have found these stock cubes to have more taste that Oxo, or even Kallo Organic Stock Cubes. There is no need to add extra seasoning to soups and stews if you use these.
The cauliflower and potato soup? It tasted wonderful. A good strong stock is the difference between a well flavoured soup and a bland one.
As every cook knows the secret is in the stock.

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola said he would be happy to leave the German giant after just one season if the club's hierarchy is not happy with his work. Guardiola has already won three trophies with Bayern this season: the UEFA Supercup, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the German Bundesliga title, while also guiding the team to the German Cup final and the UEFA Champions League semifinals, both of which have yet to be played.
However, Bayern has endured a bit of a dip in form, taking just one point from its last three Bundesliga games, which has resulted in some
criticism of the former Barcelona coach's methods. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the Spaniard said he would be happy to move on if he found that the club wanted a change.
"I have to accept the criticism," he said. "I tell myself 'Pep, calm down.' You are here to work as well as possible, and my best talent is work, work, work. I am here to help the
club, and if the club do not want me, a handshake and no problem for me." Read the original story...

A marriage made in total secrecy
Page Tools
The first inkling Tony Blair had that something was afoot within the royal family did not come until last Friday, when he received a message from Buckingham Palace that the Queen had something of importance to discuss with him.
The British Prime Minister has a weekly audience with the monarch and, when he arrived at the palace on Wednesday night, he was told the news of Prince Charles's engagement by the mother of the groom herself.
Engagements in the royal family are not the carefree, impetuous affairs of the common populace. For example, even the 56-year-old divorced prince cannot pop the question without his mother's approval, under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772.
And even when she gives the green light, nothing can be announced without the approval of the prime minister of the day.
Mr Blair thoroughly approved of the union. In fact, according to a recent biography of his aggressive former press secretary, Alastair Campbell, Downing Street suggested during the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002 that Charles take advantage of the wave of support for the monarchy to marry his mistress.
Charles refused - it was just one of the many hesitations and false starts that have punctuated his path to the altar for a second time.
The impending announcement dominated the discussion Mr Blair had with the Queen on Wednesday. The proposed date - April 8 - allowed just enough time for Mr Blair to call the general election that is widely expected on May 5.
The prince's private office at Clarence House, it was agreed, would announce the news the next week. By Thursday morning, however, whispers of a big royal story were already spreading throughout Westminster and the media, and when Clarence House discovered that the Evening Standard was preparing to publish the engagement as an exclusive, the prince's minders were forced to make the announcement ahead of time.
Caught on the hop, they were unable to stage-manage the event with anything even closely approaching royal decorum.
Charles had a public engagement to attend, an inspection of a London jewellery workshop, which immediately went from being a low-profile stroll to a shrieking media circus.
After Charles publicly confirmed in mid-1996 that he was divorcing his first wife, he hired the aggressive Mark Bolland as his deputy private secretary to help him gain ground in the PR war against the estranged and popular Diana.
Bolland set about not only rehabilitating the prince but also gently sketching in the figure of Camilla Parker Bowles by his side to turn around public opposition to his marrying again.
Convincing the sceptics inside the royal family itself was another ticklish business.
"Perhaps the main objector was the Queen Mother," says Andrew Pierce, a well-connected gossip columnist with The Times.
"Her death in 2002 made a big difference. She was implacably opposed to the marriage. She hated Diana but thought the marriage should have remained."
It is believed that the final spur to Prince Charles's sides was an upsetting incident last November, when Mrs Parker Bowles was prevented by protocol from sitting next to him at the society wedding of his godson, Edward van Cutsem, to Lady Tamara Grosvenor at Chester Cathedral.
The enraged prince boycotted the ceremony and, it now appears, set about his plan to save Mrs Parker Bowles any further embarrassment.

hey guys tonight i had a sub and amp added to the stock headunit on my 05 wrx, i had seen a member with the screen name (ej20fan) showing his shop soundwaves in van nuys.
so my girl and i went to go check out what they had to offer, let me say the factory unit is good in my opinion and so are the speakers, but they lack bottom end sound. we added a 12 inch sub amp and box for damn near nothing, i was picky and didnt want the amp to be seen and they took care of that for me easily, they even secured the box so it wouldnt slide around the trunk, when i go canyon driving. claudieu was cool and showed me his wrx, and gave me future ideas for my sound system. in terms of sound, i must say the system sounds damn good now, and thanks to soundwaves for the good work, and damn good pricing, i will post pics soon so all can see. the install is not extravagant, but it gets the job done, and does not take up alot of trunk space, and weighs very little.

Springfield Hospital Center
Springfield Hospital Center is a regional psychiatric hospital located in Sykesville, Maryland.
William Patterson, a founder of the B&O railroad, built Springfield as a summer home on 3000 acres. The estate was later purchased by Frank Brown who would become the Governor of Maryland. While serving as governor, he sold the estate to the State of Maryland for a mental hospital.[1]
It is operated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene through the Mental Hygiene Administration. The historic core of the hospital was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Warfield Complex, Hubner, and T Buildings in 2000.[2]
Today, Springfield Hospital Center provides specialized psychiatric services for nearly 700 Maryland residents a year. It is a center of modern treatment and training in the field. As a downsized version of the mid 20th century version, Springfield's surplus resources have been reborn into state training and business facilities. The buildings are listed in the historic site inventory of the Maryland Historical Trust. The hospital's goals are community reintegration and recovery and are further described in their strategic plan, "Springfield 2010".[citation needed]
