John Lennon met Yoko Ono when she was exhibiting there. Paul McCartney was an occasional backer. The first "underground" newspaper, International Times, was founded there. And a young man called Marc Feld - who changed his name to Bolan - ran errands for the owners.
In the mid-Sixties, when Swinging London was just about the hippest city on the planet, Indica, the capital's first conceptual art gallery, was just about the coolest place to be.
Founded by three young men, Barry Miles, John Dunbar and Peter Asher, who knew little about art, but an awful lot of groovy people, Indica flowered for two golden years. It opened its doors in Mason's Yard, Mayfair, in November 1965 and closed in November 1967, in the autumn of the Summer of Love.
Now four decades on, as London again lays claim to be the centre of the contemporary art world through the efforts of Damien Hirst and the others of his generation and the mega-dealer Jay Jopling opens his latest White Cube on the site of the original in Mason's Yard, Indica is being partly recreated in an exhibition which opened yesterday and aims to contrast the art and the spirit of two very different eras.
Ono, who was one of the original artists at Indica, was there again yesterday at the opening of "Riflemaker becomes Indica", in which a Soho gallery, based in a former gun shop, has transformed itself into Indica.
The exhibition consists of works by artists such as Ono, some of which were shown at the original gallery and some newer works, as well as a series of specially commissioned pieces by some younger, modern counterparts, all of which relate in some way to each other. "London is at the zeitgeist of the contemporary art scene and we wanted to see how the work from this earlier, more innocent age, related to what is happening now," said Tot Taylor, a director of Riflemaker. "It is about comparing and contrasting the work."
Thus the exhibition features Ono's Apple, which consists of a perfect, green Granny Smith's apple on a clear plinth, shown at the original Indica - of which more later - and Add Colour Painting, in which visitors add their own colours to a blank stencil of the words I Love U, a variation on an Indica original.
Among the young artists on display is Juan Fontanive, an American who studied at the Royal College of Art and who now lives and works in London.
"My generation was very influenced by that period, it is something you simply can't escape. And the scene in London now is much better than anywhere else, including New York, which I visit frequently. It somehow doesn't feel as thoughtful over there."
Liliane Lijn, another of the class of 1966 with work from both then and now on display, said: "It was a very exciting time to be an artist. It was all very fresh and new, the first time young creative people were making money."
Jagger and Lennon both came to her show opening, although it was McCartney, she said, who had the greater interest in art. The exhibition, which runs until February, also involves a series of evening talks by some of the founders and original artists.
From the beginning, Indica was intricately woven into the burgeoning pop culture scene of the 1960s. One of its co-founders, Asher was the brother of Jane Asher, for a long period McCartney's girlfriend, and half of the singing duo Peter and Gordon, who had already had big hit in 1964 with Lennon and McCartney's "World Without Love".
The other co-founders were John Dunbar, who with his granny glasses and insouciant air could have been mistaken for Lennon but was really a Cambridge science graduate and at the time married to Marianne Faithfull, then pregnant with their son, Nicholas, and Barry Miles, a bookshop manager and aspirant journalist.
The concept was an antithesis to the stuffy British art world then centred around the staid Mayfair dealers; Indica was about breaking new ground catering for the emerging counter-culture. "We went to an Albert Hall poetry reading and there were 5,000 people there, so we thought, well, maybe we can do something," said Dunbar says in the exhibition catalogue. Yesterday, he added: "In my case, I had just finished college, I was about to have a kid and it was a way of making some money." In another typical 1960s move, they called their company M.A.D. Ltd, conveniently their initials. They found cheap premises and decided to have a bookshop on the ground floor, stocking rare books, alternative and radical literature and the gallery in the basement, showing works by the new conceptual artists.
The Mayfair location was a good one: Gered Mankowitz, the Stones' photographer and son of the playwright Wolf, had his studio next door and William Burroughs, heroin addict and author of the beat generation classic, The Naked Lunch, lived close by.
The Scotch of St James nightclub, frequented by McCartney and others, was in the same courtyard. Indica was said to derive from the word "indicator", an idea of where art was going. Others actually believed it came, also in the true spirit of the 1960s, from a variety of cannabis.
The enterprise got off to a good start. McCartney provided some funds and designed the wrapping paper and flyers; Jane Asher donated the cash till and would help out in the shop while her brother would sometime use Indica as a venue for interviews, giving it valuable publicity. A young and excitable teen model called Marc Feld began to hang around the gallery; later he would change his name to Marc Bolan, perm his hair and, for a brief period in the early 1970s become one of the biggest stars in the world. Then, he helped to paint the walls.
Indica developed as a focal point for the counterculture and Miles became one of the founders of IT - International Times, the so-called "hippie newspaper" that would form part of the underground press alongside Oz and Friendz. Apple Records, the Beatles label, was conceived in Dunbars' flat one "very acidy afternoon". Artists they showed included Lijn, the Greek conceptualist Takis, Mark Boyle and the Boyle Family, Julio Le Parc, who would later win the Venice Biennale and Carlos Cruz Diez, whose public art is installed in many places in the Americas, including the United Nations building. And then there was Ono, "who sort of came in off the street one day and we gave her a show", as Dunbar says in the catalogue.
Lennon would first meet her at Ono's Unfinished Paintings and Objects show in November 1966. Ono, now 73, said yesterday that Lennon had seen Apple and, in that typically wacky Liverpudlian way, taken a bite out of it. Predictably, the serious conceptual artist had been furious; Lennon apologised and the rest of the story has been pretty much documented. She said: "I was thinking the sculpture would organically change and gradually deteriorate. It was a conceptual idea and I didn't think somebody was going to take a bite out of it.
"Then somebody came and took a bite and I was very upset. John could see it on my face and he put the apple back on the stand. It was very sweet of him." Indica, she said, was "a very special place", adding: "It was the only cutting-edge gallery at the time and it was fantastic. Today's British artists should know that in a way it all started there."
After about a year, the bookshop needed more space and moved to new premises in Southampton Row, while the gallery expanded up to the ground floor. There it continued for another year before, as with many1960s enterprises, the debts caught up with the free-wheeling altruism and it was forced to close. The bookshop continued successfully for three more years. Dunbar admits they simply went from exhibition to exhibition; forward planning was "a disaster".
But for the Indica founders it was just a launch-pad for their future careers. Asher, after Peter and Gordon, would become one of the most respected producers in pop and rock, working for artists as diverse as Linda Rondstadt, Cher and James Taylor. After IT folded, Miles, usually known by just his surname, would briefly work for the Beatles' Zappel Records imprint before writing for the New Musical Express during its late 1970s/early 1980s heyday; he has also written biographies of Burroughs and Frank Zappa among others, as well as McCartney's official biography, Many Years From Now.
Dunbar's marriage to Faithfull broke up after she left him for Mick Jagger, after which he "retired" to Scotland for many years. Now 63 and back living in London, he still works as an artist himself. Being involved in the exhibition, he said, had been like being "woken up, like Rip Van Winkle. I feel like I am being dug up. It is making me feel very nostalgic for the era, seeing a lot of people from the Sixties, some after such a long time. But I am also glad to see people realise that some of what we did helped".
He added: "There is really no comparison between the way we treat contemporary art now and the 1960s. There is much more money, much more interest, people and galleries. Then it was all very brand new and different."Reuse content

Re: Pink Eye???
Here is some information I found.
Symptoms of Pink Eye in Dog
As the name suggests, pink eye in dog causes the eyeball to take on a pronounced pinkish color. In addition, the eyelid and surrounding area may become swollen and inflamed. There may be a noticeable discharge from the eye. Your dog may have difficulty opening his eye or blinking normally.
Pink eye makes dogs more sensitive to light, so your dog might prefer to stay indoors and avoid brightly lit areas. Afflicted dogs may begin sleeping more during the day.
Pink eye can also cause severe itching, so you may notice your dog rubbing his face against furniture or the floor, trying to relieve the itching. He may also wipe at his face with his paws. This may be an attempt to wipe away discharge from the eye.
Diagnosing Pink Eye in Dog
If your dog has symptoms of pink eye, he should see a vet who will look for any foreign objects in the eye and will examine the mucous membranes around the eye. To aide diagnosis your veterinarian may scrape some of the discharge for further testing/examination, a schirmer tear test or a biopsy.
Other causes your veterinarian will look for include parasites and eyelid problems.
Treatment for Pink Eye in Dog
It is important to seek treatment if your dog has symptoms of pink eye because untreated, it could lead to vision problems.
Since allergy and environmental irritants are the most common cause, look in your dog's eye and see if you can see any foreign objects such as an eyelash. If you see something, try flushing his eye with water. If you are unable to remove the object, or if he continues to show symptoms of pink eye after the object has been removed, call your vet.
Clean the area around your dogs eye with a warm, wet wash cloth. If both eyes are affected, use a clean cloth for each eye. Conjunctivitis is very contagious, so you dont want to spread it from one eye to another.
Wash out the eye. You can use artificial tears, the kind made for humans. This will wash away any debris in the eye that may be causing the problems.
Your vet will remove any foreign object that you have been unable to remove.
If your your veterinarian diagnoses canine pink eye due to infection, they will prescribe antibiotics for the infection. The vet may also prescribe medicated eye drops.
Many holistic veterinarians recommend herbal drops for dogs that frequently get eye infections.

Re: Pink Eye???
Arbie has had "pink eye" a few times when he was younger - pretty much as Tango's Mom described. His appear to have been from allergies although he also had a prolapsed third eyelid which kept causing him problems aswell. We had the eyelid fixed but he continued to get "pink eye". We found it is mostly caused by dust (I always keep my house dust free anyway because I'm asthmatic - but I noticed when I brushed Arbie it was bringing out dust and just that small amount was causing his eyes to turn pink and would start me coughing. So I stopped brushing him and just wipe him over with baby wipes now. Arbie sheds very little but he does get dust build up from outside so the wipes help rid him of the dust without throwing it into the air. Hope that helps a little. Does your boy have loose eyes? because that can leave them open to getting "pink eye" and sometimes they will go pink or red from over-excitement or when running around a lot. If it's from running around a lot it usually settles within a couple of days - if there's an infection then you will start to see a discharge which turns greenish. Hope this helps!

my stylist looked at my hair dry. then wash, cond and gelled. Then mainly dried under the hood. then finished drying it with a diffuser with head flipped over. Then cut it dry curl by curl. She got so much curl out of my hair, and it's been almost 4 months and it's help up amazingly. My only complaint, and I've mentioned it on here before it that when she cut it the ends looked great, but when I washed & styled at home, the curls clumped differently, so some of the curls had these real thin tapers at the end, that I didn't like, so I just snipped them off, as I came across them. And honestly if that is the only complaint after years of searching for some to not only cut my hair right, but also not straighten it, I'll take it. I'm definitely going back and having it done again. Maybe there is a fix for the tapering, IDK, we'll see when I go back.

Re: How to use package without manually evaluating?
The way that I would do it is:
1) Create a MyApplication (or whatever name you wish) folder in your
$UserBaseDirectory/Applications folder.
2) Make your posted file a Matrices.nb notebook file. Make each of the cells
an Initialization cell.
3) Change the BeginPackage statement to:
4) Save the notebook as an "Auto Generated Package" in your MyApplications
folder. (If it already exists as a notebook you can use the Options
Inspector to do this.) This automatically creates the Matrices.m file and
anytime you edit and save the Matrices.nb notebook, the Matrices.m package
file will be updated.
5) Load the package with the statement:
You could make that statement an Initialization cell in your working
notebooks. But when you save those notebooks DON'T make them Auto Generated
Generally your private Applications folder is the best place to put
packages. Mathematica automatically knows how to find them there. You may
not want this package loaded EVERY time you use Mathematica. I haven't
examined you package code completely but it seems that you have written some
routines that don't have usage statements. You need a usage statement for
each routine you want to export and have access to.

Jeremy Deller's British Pavilion in Venice challenges and provokes our self-image
In his excellent review of Jeremy Deller's show English Magic which has taken over the British Pavilion for this year's Venice Art Biennale, critic Alastair Sooke describes it as "the dark side, if you like, of Danny Boyle's uplifting opening ceremony for London 2012." It's a phrase that stuck with me; if 2012 was all-about almost ceaseless national self-congratulation, then here in 2013 maybe Deller is right to force us to consider some uncomfortable truths not prevalent in our golden summer.
There's a direct link here too – David Bowie's Heroes was adopted by the BBC as the unofficial anthem of British Olympic glory, and Bowie appears here too with photographs of him in Ziggy Stardust phase juxtaposed with contemporaneous images of violent social disorder.
Elsewhere a huge mural depicts a bird of prey dangling a smashed 4×4 from its talons, while another shows the tax-haven capital of Jersey St. Helier burning to the ground; nearby there's a huge picture of William Morris tossing Roman Abramovich's super-yacht through the skies and a series of drawings done by prisoners –many former soldiers – bring a disturbing dimension to our recent foreign policy disasters.
The gloom and doom is tempered somewhat with some of his trademark banners, free cups of tea and a video of people bouncing on his inflatable Stonehenge, a commission for the Cultural Olympiad which coincided with last summer's games. But as ever Deller challenges and provokes us to think about Britain in a more nuanced way than the overriding national narratives we are often fed, and can be hungry to swallow.
Jeremy Deller's British Council commission is at the Venice Biennale until November 24 and will tour national venues in 2014.

From San Francisco:
Staffan Terje
Guiltless Pleasures
Susan Dyer Reynolds
When Swedish-born Staffan Terje moved to the Napa Valley in 1986, it brought back memories of growing up on a farm, using produce from local growers and neighbors' yards. After settling into Wine Country life, Terje took a job at the original Piatti in Yountville and rose quickly through the ranks, eventually responsible for new locations, menu development and staff training. Terje says he always had a passion for Italian cuisine, and he honed his skills with Donna Scala (Bistro Don Giovanni), ultimately spending seven years as the chef of Scala's Bistro. In 2006, Terje became executive chef and co-owner (along with front-of-the-house maestro Umberto Gibin) of a new restaurant called Perbacco, which draws its inspiration from the traditional dishes of Italy's northwestern regions like Piemonte, Val D'Aosta and Liguria, as well as a few from the Provence region of France. Terje buys seasonal produce from small, local purveyors and has a curing room to make his own salumi. His bold, rustic repertoire (which includes some of the best pastas in town) helps to keep Perbacco near the top of the most coveted table list.
Spring looks to be a busy season for Terje, as he'll be instrumental in Passover dinner at Perbacco with Joyce Goldstein, a cooking class at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, and an event at the Cellar at Macy's Union Square ("with a farmer"), all in April of 2008.
What's the last thing you cooked for yourself?
ST: Hanger steak and a salad of arugula and shaved Parmesan—I go simple at home. Believe it or not, I eat lots of take-out...pizza, Thai, Indian. Sometimes I just forget to eat.
What's your favorite food from your childhood?
ST: Pan-fried Baltic herring in summertime, when I was three years old and my grandpa showed me how to debone it. It was a learning experience.
How would you describe the working in your kitchen?
ST: Intense. The food is fairly simple, but there's lots of fresh product—some cooks fast, some slow. Something is constantly being prepared, so it's a balancing act—braised greens on one side, 60-day salami on the other. And the menu changes every day depending on the crops of our purveyors.
What's something in your fridge or freezer at home that would surprise people?
ST: Tons of herring and creamed codfish from IKEA—if you see someone at IKEA with lots of this stuff in their basket, you know it's an ex-pat. I also have frozen latkes.
What's a meal or a dish that, as a young chef, was an inspiration or a revelation?
ST: When I was an apprentice in Sweden with a French chef: warm bone marrow and chicken liver mousse with crayfish sauce. It was a pain in the ass to make—delicate and it required lots of technique—but it was fantastic.
Is there a dish on your menu that will follow you wherever you go?
ST: At Perbacco, the agnolotti with veal and Savoy cabbage...it really speaks to the cuisine of Piemonte—delicate pasta, intense filling, sparing sauce; they say, "The sauce is almost on the inside."
What's the last restaurant you ate at besides your own?
ST: Incanto on Church Street.
What's your favorite offal?
ST: All of them; offal is very underutilized. That's one reason I like Incanto—they do great things with it. If I had to pick, I really like blood; I grew up on black pudding. It's challenging to use.
What are your guilty pleasures?
ST: I don't feel guilty about anything! It's a pleasure—why feel guilty?
What would your last meal on earth be?
ST: Really good sushi, and lots of it.

Espresso Machine Time Line
|Luigi Bezzera patents his Tipo Gigante, the precursor to what would become espresso machine technology for the next fifty years. Luigi wanted to reduce coffee break times so he made a machine that brewed "coffee" much faster using pressure. Espresso (in a loose translation) means "fast" in Italian.
|Desiderio Pavoni buys Bezzera's patents. La Pavoni was the first manufacturer of espresso machines to be used in coffee bars.

Of course, this list is by no means complete. It is presented to give you an idea about several things, including the fact that espresso existed long before the big coffee chains were around. And even though those chains and espresso are somewhat reliant on one another, I'd wager that espresso will far outlast any of the chain coffeehouses you and I know so well. With its unique culture and growing number of devotees who are ultimately dedicated to the betterment of the brew, I'm ready to see what the next hundred years has in store for espresso.
Tamp Pressure
This is the amount of pressure used to compact the coffee grounds in the portafilter prior to brewing. As a general rule, we recommend consistently using 30 lbs of tamp pressure. If you're not sure what that feels like, drag out the ol' bathroom scale and try it out – it won't feel nearly as heavy as you're expecting. By always using the same amount of pressure, you're reducing the number of variables involved in brewing, so it's easier to target and resolve an issue. We'll talk more about possible problems you'll run into and how to solve them later in this article.
Brewing Pressure
In order to brew a proper espresso, hot water must be forced through the coffee grounds at around 8 or 9 BAR of pressure – roughly 135 PSI. The pump inside every espresso machine is designed to produce these exact measurements of pressure, so this isn't something you'll need to control yourself. Some machines advertise they are able to produce pump pressures of 15 to 19 BAR. However, this doesn't mean that they will they produce better espresso than those of lower pressures. As described above, it is only necessary to have about 8 to 9 BAR of pump pressure to produce good espresso. The pressure ratings on these units pertain to the maximum pressure or BAR the espresso machine is able to produce, not what it will actually brew the espresso at. Just remember that it isn't important to buy an espresso machine with the most powerful pump. Any pump driven espresso machines we carry provides more than enough pressure to produce fine espresso.
A single shot is made with 7 grams of coffee, and should yield 1 – 1.5 oz of espresso in 20 –25 seconds.
A double shot is made with 14 grams of coffee, and should yield 2 – 2.5 oz of espresso in 20 –25 seconds.
Leonardo da Vinci turned a blank canvas into the Mona Lisa. Michelangelo shaped a hunk of marble into the Statue of David. So, how about making your latte into a piece of art? No pressure.
Viewed by coffee lovers as the ultimate finishing touch, latte art has become a source of pride for accomplished baristas, as evidenced by the Millrock Latte Art Competition. Held annually, the contest challenges American baristas to make the best tasting, most aromatic and visually appealing drink. Regarding the competition's growing popularity, professional barista Chris Deferio says, "Millrock, itself, is getting to be more and more prestigious. It's gaining in notoriety and is becoming a norm in the lexicon of the coffee professionals."
Mastering a free pour, required to create works of latte art, is critical creating a creative "signature" to give your beverage that personal touch. "Latte art is the professional ethos of a barista, like the handshake after the deal is made," notes Deferio.
To create latte art, you'll want to have these items handy:
Achieving Java Nirvana requires an understanding of the rituals associated with making great espresso. First, you need to know what to look for; crema, or the foam that materializes on top, is the universal sign of a good shot of espresso. A thick crema is easily recognized and respected by coffee lovers worldwide, but achieving a good shot can be a trying experience. So, we're here to demystify the process for you! Don't worry; we'll have you brewing like a pro in no time.
The Art
Generally, a double shot of espresso should contain 2-2.5 fl oz and take roughly 20-25 seconds to extract. In order to get the optimal results, you'll need to spend some time getting acquainted with the nuances of your grinder, espresso machine, and coffee. This is the "art" part of the process, as the interactions among your coffee, grinder, and espresso machine can have an effect on the resulting shot.
The Beans, The Beans! Won't Somebody Think About The Beans?
Nowadays, coffee beans come many varieties; what you ultimately end up choosing is largely a matter of personal preference. However, it's important to have a basic understanding of the three different kinds of roasts available. Coffee comes usually comes in light, medium, and dark roasts and can be easily identified by the shade they exhibit. Generally, light roasts are not appropriate for espressos, so we'll be better served by focusing on medium and dark roasts.
While most people equate a dark roast with a "true espresso," a great shot can also be made with a medium roast. You can easily distinguish between two by examining the beans, a dark roast will have a glossy surface and because of their oily texture, they have a habit of sticking together. When it comes to down the practicalities, it's important to keep in mind that a dark roast will require a coarser grind than its medium roast cousin for the same extraction. Also be careful, of a grind that is too fine, as it can wear out your grinder burrs, clog an espresso machine, and make a bitter-tasting cup of Joe! Ideally, you should shoot for a texture that is slightly finer than granulated sugar.
You'll know you have the right grind when your shot makes its time target (20-25 seconds). Keep in mind that as your beans age, the extraction time will shorten up, even if all the other factors remain constant. This is because the beans are drying out, which causes less resistance when you tamp. Unfortunately, this is also a sign that the flavors are drying out…an indication that perhaps it's time to kiss those beans goodbye.
Back to the Grinder
Grinders come in two variations, blade and burr. For espresso-making purposes, steer clear of anything with a blade in it! Blade grinders are responsible for causing inconsistent grind fineness, heat, and dust—all factors you want to eliminate, when making a shot of espresso.
Instead of whirling blades, burr grinders have two opposing wheels and it is the distance between them that determine the size of your grind. The grinding is normally slower with a burr grinder, but this is a good thing, because the process produces less heat—helping to preserve the flavors in your coffee.
Burr grinders can be broken down into two categories, conical and flat. There is really no difference in quality between the two; you should be happy regardless of which burr grinder you decide to use.
The ideal espresso grind setting should fall within the 3-8 range on the grinder's index; the lower the number, the finer the grind. However, the level of finesse of the grind settings is not universal, so you shouldn't assume that a 4 on one grinder will be the same if you switch brands. It's also important to note that the grinder should be running when you're adjusting the settings, to prevent damage to the machine.
Brewing Pressure and Temperature
Drum roll, please, this is where your espresso machine comes in! While home machines may indicate a maximum pressure rating of 15-19 bars, you only need 8 or 9 bars to achieve the optimum environment for extraction. As a general rule of thumb, you really don't have to worry about the pump's pressure. Most machines are designed to allow for no more than 11 bars; if the pressure exceeds this level, the back pressure relief valve will open to divert the water. This will prevent your coffee from being over extracted and protect the pump from excessive pressure build up.
Your brewing temperature is controlled by the espresso machine's thermostat. All of the machines we offer fall within the right temperature range (190-196 degrees). Your in-cup temperature should ideally be between 160-165 degrees. In order to ensure the correct in-cup temp, you should preheat your cup as well as the brew group (the portafilter and it's the part of the machine that it locks into). Simply letting your machine warm up (5-6 minutes) will automatically pre-heat your brew group. You can also go the extra step and run water through the brew group (with the handle in place). As for your cup, you can heat it using the cup warmer on the espresso machine or by running hot water through it. Hey, whatever works!
So, You Think You Can Tamp?
Tamping, or packing coffee into the portafilter, is often the most difficult part of the espresso making process for beginners. The tampers, supplied with most machines, should do the trick just fine—regardless of whether they're made of aluminum, wood, stainless steel, or plastic. Generally, you should use 30 pounds of pressure when tamping. Don't know what 30 pounds of pressure feels like? Fake it, until you make it with the Espresso Gear Click Mat, which will make a clicking sound when you've hit the mark. Hey, it's not cheating. Cheating is having your brother, mother, or significant other do the heavy tamping for you. Think of this mat as your partner in coffee.
Now, if you don't like working under pressure, consider an espresso machine with built-in resistance technology. These bad boys are designed with pressurized filter handles, which will let you get away with a light tamp.
Quick Tips of the Trade
Now that you've successfully completed our version of Espresso Making 101, make sure you check out the Buyer's Guide to find your perfect machine.
|To get the best shot possible, keep the following brewing parameters in mind:
A single shot is made with 7 grams of coffee, and should yield 1 – 1.5 oz of espresso in 20 –25 seconds.
A double shot is made with 14 grams of coffee, and should yield 2 – 2.5 oz of espresso in 20 –25 seconds.
When you're grinding your own beans for this process, it is also helpful to keep your tamp at a consistent 30 lbs of pressure (or a bit lighter if you have a pressurized style portafilter). If you're not sure what 30 lbs of pressure feels like, we recommend "practice" tamping on your bathroom scale to get the feel of it. The reason to keep this pressure consistent is so that if your shots aren't falling into the 20 –25 second range, you will only have one variable to change: your grind setting.
If you're grinding your own beans and find that your:
If you're using preground coffee and find that your:
Frugal is the new black. Seriously. With the economy sputtering for the past year and a half, cost consciousness is on the rise among savvy Americans. But instead of quitting our indulgences cold turkey, many of us are looking for ways to cut costs while still retaining our quality of life.
If your routine includes stops at the local café, those daily drinks can add up quickly—and put quite a dent on your wallet. For instance, if you buy a $4.27 Venti Mocha every day, that comes out to be almost $120 a month or nearly $1500 a year! Ouch.
But, we at Aabree would never tell you to give up your java, not with all the health benefits it provides. Instead, consider brewing at home. If you invest in a decent espresso machine, you could make those fancy frappe-cappa-lattes at home and save some big bucks in the long run.

WWRY 10th Anniversary Report
Roger Tweet
"Magnificent performance from WWRY cast exciting night. Spinal Tap moment for me when drums fail to appear due to lift failure oops hilarious"
Queen and Robert de Niro make surprise appearance at 'We Will Rock You' anniversary show
Projection of late singer Freddie Mercury also features
Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor joined the cast of We Will Rock You onstage last night (May 14), marking the 10th anniversary of the hit musical based on the band's music. Actor Robert De Niro also made a brief curtain call.
The finale of the show saw May emerge from a trapdoor in the stage, shrouded in smoke, to play the guitar solo to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - scroll down to watch fan footage. As the song finished, a projection of late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was seen mouthing the final line to the song, "Anyway the wind blows". Drummer Roger Taylor then joined May and the cast on stage to perform set-closer 'The Show Must Go On'.
At the curtain call, We Will Rock You's writer and director Ben Elton said a few words before being joined on stage by the original producers of the show, including Robert De Niro and Jim Beach (Queen's manager). After the show, De Niro chatted and posed for pictures with the cast. Also in the audience was a random bunch of celebrities, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, DJ Chris Tarrant, Antony Costa of the boyband Blue, and TV presenter Bill Oddie.
We Will Rock You opened at the Dominion on May 14, 2002, and initially attracted hostile reviews. The Daily Mirror wrote that "Ben Elton should be shot for this risible story." However, despite never winning critical acclaim, the show has earned itself a place in the top ten of the West End's longest running musicals.
May has joined the cast on stage a number of times during the show's decade-long run, though Taylor has appeared only rarely. The last time both members performed in We Will Rock You was for its fifth anniversary show in 2007.
Queen will play two London shows with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert in July. The stadium rockers were due to headline this summer's Sonisphere Festival with Lambert, but have been forced to schedule the new dates after the festival was cancelled earlier this month.

help wit ma packard bell laptob
is nt powerin an d power pack i use am nt 2sure of d voltage output (19v/18.5./or15v)...I cant find d old adpter.
Please click on your username and update your basic location so we know if we have a language issue to work around.
I am not sure I understand your problem? Has the voltage converter you are using failed? Why would you be looking for the old one if you bought a new one to replace it? Do you have access to a voltage tester to make sure the adapter is your problem and not an internal power supply having failed?
The voltage and polarity for what you need should be formed right into the plastic of the female connector?
packard bell power pack
i am not sure of the other power pack am using now is 19v...the old one was bad! an i did not cheak the voltage b4 i dispose it .(its was vry hurt an was somking .when i try 2 open d capasitor inside has burst) the battery of the laptob is 11v... i just need the rite output voltage. i dnt think its 19v bcos is not working.
Look at the female plug on the back of your computer. There should be a tiny little diagram near it, molded with the plastic, showing what voltage you should plug into it. It will also have a diagram showing the polarity expected.
I still fear I am having a language problem with you. Can you at least post the country in which you live to your account? Just click on your username. I hate to sound harsh but I cannot spend more time trying to help you until you do.
sdsester am sry about my language problem u say i have. am a nigerian. not to educated .but just a husler try 2 fix thing and get paid...Plzzz bear with my language problem... The only diagram i found is the under the battery. I have also cheak the polarity. Inside the female is + / outside is negative.
What is the voltage of the battery? Now that you know the polarity, that is what you need to match.
There was a place near where I used to live that junked old computers and recycled them to get at the precious metals. The place had bins full of old power adapters they would give away or sell for next to nothing.
I cannot remember if I read it on this site or another but hotels are also good sources for power and charging cords for computers and phones. People forget them when checking out of their rooms.
Good luck! I fear at some point you put the wrong voltage to the computer power supply and burned it out.
Where I am? PB computers are the worst and nobody would bother fixing them.

Rod here,
After reading Brak's Buddy's keyslot detail find (which really is AMAZING - jeez, maybe he could help Mr. Lucas find some good direction this time - o.k., loooow blow, but really, maybe BB can help me find MY sanity after seeing Ep1), I have the following silly questions:
Where are all the original prop builders?
Did everyone sign non-disclosure contracts?
Jeremy Bulloch is so friendly & helps our community, but what about all the people that built the suits & how come we can't have someone say "yeah, the dome of the Fett helmet was cast from a German fireman helmet, or yeah, I think we used a dental expander for the greeblie...".
I was a subscriber to Insider mag until I saw Ep1 & don't remember seeing anything detailed like what we need.
I also don't understand why the marketing machine has to be so frickin' greedy & controlling (I know, an oxymoron). I mean, we chase these suits around the world w/ cameras (can't wait to see some Japanese pics by the way). U'd think as a sign of appreciation to die-hard fans that u'd let a rep of us get a supervised hands on.
Of course, if they did that then they'd prob want $50 a cd (after confiscating the taker's pics & having him/her sign a non-disclosure contract) available exclusively to Insider subscribers AFTER redeeming 200 proof-of-purchase points from Episode 1 toys & getting in line now for tickets for Ep3...
Just some silly q's & my 2 cents...

When I was about 10, my hair was curly but limp. My grandmother had decided to put those old velcro-brushy style rollers in my wet hair, JUST before the Christmas concert for school.
She used a hair dryer to dry the hair quicker (I am sure you can see where I am going with this). Well the rollers got stuck in my hair, and she was yanking them out and pulling out handfuls of my soft but limp curly hair. I was crying the whole time! It took about 4 hours but the rollers FINALLY came out (All 15 of them)
I never put rollers or used anything resembling a brush or a pick near my hair ever again!

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Sep 3, 2009.
U of M needs a new style of practicing. Didn't like their loss. Detroit news photo...
I COMPLAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I always do..U know me better than that. That game was like training to fight Mike tyson by sparring against Lil Kim!!!! BTW< we did beat Notre Dame and MSU lost to them...so whats that say about Spartyville?
and 1-9 vs Ohio state!! Who gives a crap about a team that cant even change the conference name to the BIG 11????????
Why did u steal this from Buckeye's wallet?
That we can only beat teams even more screwed up than us? Hannah Montana State, Illinois, Northwestern and U of M ????
Well Michigan did beat that little school about 7 miles east of Ann Arbor that I earned my degree from in 1977 called EMU. So that we don't give the big boys all of the glory,and ignore the little brother programs in the state, EMU is 0-7 this year Saturday we lost to another 0-7 team >>Ball State ~29-27, so they are now 1-7. The significant thing about Ball State (Letterman's alma mater ) is that they went 12-0 last year and then lost in the MAC championship and then again in the GMAC Bowl game and then subsequently lost every game this season up to this past Saturday... Here is the stat of the year...their QB was 2-10 for 1 yard and had an int. yeah you read that right...Ball State won a game with one yard passing...for the whole game, but did managed to scamper about 464 yards rushing to beat my alma mater....
Any team that cant score from the one, after their Wr gets caught from behind, and lets the other team go 99 yds the other way can KISS MY ASS! Im spending the rest of the day with my kid!!
Then they let them have 2 more TD's to boot...to make it 28-13. Don't like Michigans play calling in the red zone...1 TD, 2 FG and a goal line stop.. if Michigan doesn't score on this drive...I am going to hang out with the wife at....Bed Bath & Beyond.
That's actually a pretty cool place Dre. We got a neat picture of this tree that if you look at it from different angles, the tree and scenery change from autumn to winter to spring. Wait...isn't it about time to pass out treats to the munchkins?
Only 3:20 out here...I will be doing the handouts during the USC-Oregon, MSU-Minn, Yankee-Philly and Piston-Bucks game....hope those little tykes don't disrupt my TV sports schedule tonight. The Illini have already ruined Halloween for me... I believe this was the last possible win for the season for "M" and Forcier played like a freshman
Barring a miracle, Wolverines about to lose by a score I thought they would win by. Looks like there are still a lot of problems there. They still should get one more win (by defeating Purdue at home) and squeeze into a bowl. I know he is only a freshman, but Forcier is sucking.
Not me. I turn out all the lights and pretend I am not home.
I haven't been keeping track, but haven't wolves now given up over a thousand yards and 75 points in the past two games...We can blame part of these 2 losses on RichRod's play calling and Forcier execution, but who is the defensive coordinator??
Sounds like a typical night at Chez Roscoe.
Former Head Coach of Syracuse. He also was the defensive coordinator when the Broncos won their two Superbowls in 97,98.
Has the game passed him by yet??
We had one of those little munchkins this year...
What a sweetheart, she's beautiful.
Yes she is....CJ
Like a typical Buckeye fan...Doing weird things in the dark with kids lurking around!U know what they call halloween in Ohio? Saturday!

I have been thinking about this since the time I've read about Ne being "outside the box" and Ni being "about the box". I think it is a fairly accurate idea and it matches my understanding of the 2 functions. I have also added here the 2 sensing functions and tried to lay them out in the hypothetical box. The examples that I will use to illustrate are based on how people looks at interpersonal relationships, in order to add an F flair (though of course, I may have a bias towards Fe) to the functions, instead of the usual T bias that comes when a thinker explains the functions.
Let us first define the box as the set of all "normal" human relationships. So here it goes:
1. Si
Si starts with an exact single point in the box. Everything that is later encountered must be defined in relation to this original point. When evaluating a new point in the box, there must be something in it that can be defined according to the original point.
It will stay out of weird possibilities (outside the box) that cannot be comprehended realistically in relation to the points inside the box. This makes Si very hard to change as it must redefine its whole preconceived system of points when it encounters unfamiliar situations.
Thus, if Si were to be represented graphically, it would look like a set of points all inside the box, all connected by individual lines leading to the origin.
Our young ISFJ
When our young ISFJ sees that his mother always prepares his bath towel in order to prepare him for bathing, he takes note of such fact. He notes that his mother likes vanilla ice cream with rice sprinkles on top. He is aware that she likes to watch Latino telenovelas. He also notices that she gets mad when he plays with his toys up to 10 pm. And so on.. This set of facts make up his view on how his mother acts, and therefore helps him to deal with her. All of his actions in relation to his mother are all calculated based on whether he wants to please his mother or annoy her a bit.
When the ISFJ meets other people, say, a neighbor, he will operate on the same lens as he viewed his mother before. What sort of shows that she watches regularly? What is her favorite ice cream flavor? Will she also get angry if I stay up late? And so on...This body of facts will also be automatically stored as the "right things to do when I'm with X neighbor"
The ISFJ is a bit cautious about change, because every person must be defined meticulously from the ground up. All of the facts must be encountered and stored again in order for it to be effective. But once it does, be ready to be amazed by its "precision, accuracy, and consistency"
2. Ni
Ni does not single out on one single point as Si does, but chooses to see "about the box"--its edges and corners that define the whole box. It believes that in doing so, all there is to know will be understood. It does not concern itself with a single point because "it's just like any point out there, so it's all the same, it's also bounded by the same boundaries in the box, so the same rule applies". It is also fearful of change like Si, but in a different way. It fears not when it encounters new points but when the whole box itself changes. Because, if it does change, then it has to remodel a whole worldview to integrate not only the previous box, but the new set of points added or removed by the change.
Our young INFJ
(I will be using myself as an example) When I was a child, I was not that much aware of the little details that make my mom happy or sad as the ISFJ in the first example. But I knew that everything that she does for me all comes from the fact that she genuinely cares for me. Therefore, being young and naive, I casually assumed that every mother cares for her child genuinely. Therefore I faced the world with optimism and zest, believing that everyone out there is good. All human relationships are beneficial, and that I must go out there to experience and benefit from them. I don't have to know that this person likes this game or not...All I was guided by was with this optimistic idea about humankind.
But later I hear of moms abusing their kids, teenage bitches who abort, etc... I was depressed and could not stand it. Therefore, now I assumed that all mothers cannot be all good, there are still some rotten kind thrown in there somewhere. And I extended it to humanity in general--that there really are good and bad people amongst us. Thus I became more cynical and now try to hold back myself when I know that there are bad people out there trying to take advantage of me.
When I reached about 9 or 10, I don't know, something in me said that there really is no good or evil. Every act, which might be mistaken as really good or really evil, are all the same, that they are the result of the individual wills trying to live a life in this world. Everyone has his own sense or idea of how he can live his life. What distinguishes good from evil? Nothing, I said. Then why is stealing deemed bad? Because it stems from innate fear of losing our possessions. So everybody must "play fair" and not steal from anyone. That is, all the acts that we deem bad can really be traced to our fears, not because of them being "evil" purely per se.
I am busy for the day and I have to go, so I'm cutting it right here. Probably later in the afternoon (GMT+8), I would continue on Se and Ne, or maybe tomorrow. Feel free to comment though

This information might have been helpful yesterday Dont get me wrong, Gruppe is a great place with great prices, but they have to update their website alittle more often. When I saw it on their site, it had a green button next to it so I assumed I could order it today and have it shipped the next day.
Last Sunday I went on to worldoneperformance.com and emailed them hoping to hear something other than they are backordered here too. To my dismay, I got an email from Garrett at 3PM the next day saying exactly what I didnt want to hear, but I kinda accepted it at this point since it is summer and all. But an hour later, I got another email from Garrett saying he found one in Cali at the Greddy warehouse and was willing to ship it to me if I called them back that day!
This is without a doubt the best service Ive evar had. +1 for World 1 and Garrett for great service and speed, 0.5 for Gruppes crappy website. Hire me to keep it update and Ill just ask for parts as payment. Definitely have to keep both on hand, though.

"Mutual Agreement" Taming, A Helpful Guide to Skittish and Aggressive Birds
Birds are a lot like people in the way that they have different personalities. Some are bold and playful, others are shy and timid, while even some others are aggressive and finicky. Most taming guides are directed at the "average" bird. The taming guides are really good for the most part, but there are certain birds who need to be approached differently.
Positive reinforcement is noted to be one of the best ways to tame birds and many other animals. It uses good and positive rewards to show the animal what you want and like. Birds respond very well to this, and this has made it one of the most popular ways to tame a bird.
However taming is not always one size fits all. There are different ways to deal with a shy or aggressive bird. This guide focuses on those types of birds.
The main message of this guide is "mutual agreement" where you look at your bird's likes and dislikes and know where their limits are and you set a neutral ground with them.
First I will discuss
aggressive birds.
First you must look at what your bird is aggressive about. Many are cage aggressive. Working with a cage aggressive bird when trying to tame it can be very difficult, and a lot more work than an average bird. Many owners get frustrated and either give up on taming or they get rid of the bird. Very few stick it out and keep trying.
The main idea with a cage aggressive bird is that their cage is their home, they do not usually want you dealing with anything in their cage. In or near it. They may bite or lunge at you or even chase you if you do not respect their space. This can make feeding and watering and cleaning a hazardous task.
How do you deal with these birds? First, look at the cage, is there something particular in the cage that they are protecting? If so if it possible to remove it, then do so. If not, then it is up to you to avoid this situation. The bird has a good chance of becoming more and more aggressive each time you invade its space, which can create worse future problems.
So, how do you get the bird out of the cage if it will not step up or will not stop attacking your hand? Easy! You let the bird come out of the cage on its own. Just leave the cage door open and do not reach into the cage for the bird. Respect the birds cage as ITS space, not YOURS. If the bird is clipped, you might have to escort the bird to its playgym if the playgym is not within climbing or jump reach of the bird's cage. To do this, simply towel the bird gently and carry it over to the playgym, and then
leave it alone
for a bit. Let the bird enjoy its time out. After the bird has had time to calm down, you may try step up training. If the bird is not aggressive on the playgym, this is an easier job and regular training can take place on the playgym.
However, if the bird is not willing to come near you with your hand nearby or attacks you still, simply sit where the bird can reach you, but simply read a book or do something that does NOT involve the bird. Place a sprig of spray millet, or another favourite treat where the bird can easily climb to reach, but placed close to you. So if you are sitting on a desk with the bird's playgym on top, sit a few feet away with the treat a few inches from your arm. Let the bird come to you, do not look at the bird right away if the bird comes to you for the spray millet. This will teach the bird that they can trust you and can go to you and you are not a threat. Let them come to you on their terms. Over time, eventually work on holding the treat so that the bird will step up onto your hand.
What is different about this method from regular taming of holding a treat in the hand for the bird? You are not forcing the millet upon the bird, you are letting them set the pace and go to you on their own terms. You have learned to respect the bird's cage space and its own personal boundaries, the bird will feel more comfortable around you and in time will learn to accept you. The cage aggression likely will not stop, but with the mutual respect of space (owner stays out of cage and owner does not get bit, thats the "mutual agreement here") will help with the bird staying more calm when you DO need to go into the cage to feed, water, clean, and service toys. They learn to trust you as they see that you do respect their space and they will relax more around you and not feel as threatened.
Skittish birds
are often timid, flighty, nervous, and scared. These birds tend to adapt much slowly compared to other birds and tend to like familiarity, so frequent cage set up changes may spook them. These birds may take months to fully settle in to a new home, or even into a new cage. These differ from untame birds in the way that they tend to be even slower at adapting and are slow to trust and seem to be scared of nearly everything.
For skittish birds, the method is VERY much the same, only some things are done differently for different reasons. Never towel a skittish bird to bring it out of the cage, this will only frighten them more. Toweling should only be used for medical reasons or with an aggressive clipped bird who needs to be transported from point A to B. A bird can be trained to associate the towel with playtime (positive reinforcement) but this can prove too stressful on a skittish bird.
Never invade a skittish bird's cage. This is their safe haven, the place they should feel comfortable and relaxed. Placing your hands in the cage will frighten the bird and feed their insecurity. For these birds, if they seem really nervous at first, you can cover a corner of the cage, blocking your view of them and their view of you. This is somewhere they can retreat to when they feel scared or overwhelmed.
Allow them to come out of their cage on their own. Quietly sit by and read a book or something similar and just leave the cage door open. Never reach for a timid bird unless absolutely necessary (emergencies, medicating, etc) as they may feel threatened by a "predator" and it may cause them to be even more fearful.
Forcing treats on them as well may not work because they are scared of the hands that hold them. These birds need to be left to come to you on their own as well, just like the aggressive birds. The method is the same, only you want the treat placed farther away from you at the start than you would with an aggressive bird. Over a slow period of time as the bird gets more comfortable, you may move the treat an inch closer to you, until you can hold the treat with your hand open flat on the table. The "mutual agreement" here is that you respect the bird's need for security and space and you will gain a more confident bird in time.
Let me state something with this taming guide. These birds can be worked with FLIGHTED. I have actually found these birds tend to benefit more from being flighted and I have had better results with them being flighted than I have had clipped. However, the aggressive bird might be better attitude wise clipped after taming should the bird attack you, but if the bird does not attack you it is fine to leave the bird flighted if you wish.
I highly recommend the skittish birds to be flighted rather than clipped. Clipping may help a bird rely on you to get around, but it can downright scare a timid bird and cause regression in their trust in you rather than progression. Flighted timid birds also tend to have a confidence boost and will be more willing to approach you as they can get away easier if they feel the need to. Never force a skittish bird to do something it does not want to. This damages their trust in their owners. If the bird wants to fly off and get away from you, let it do so freely. It will see you will not stop it if it wants to get away.
The treat does not have to be food. It can be a favourite toy or some other thing that they really like. I have used this method for my lovebirds. My male is super shy and timid and has been the hardest to work with in terms of earning his trust, but our female is aggressive and it has been a long but well-worth-it road to having her trust.

I have tried the average typical methods that most people have success with in taming. But it did not work. I often wondered why and ended up frustrated with a bloody hand after trying to get my female lovebird to accept millet or sunflower seeds by hand in her cage. She ended up getting more and more aggressive.
I then let them become flighted and had given up on taming them, I had gotten them as babies and thought I could tame them easier, especially since the female was handfed from hatching. However, they were not socialized, and therefore were wild, and the handfeeding only made my female bold and not afraid to bite the hands that feed her.
I had realized that once flighted, they were more confident. I would leave the cage doors open for them and they would come out on their own. I would hold out paper (their "treat") or millet and they would fly to me for it. Eventually the female would fly over to me just to see what I was doing and to preen my hair.
It was then I had realized I had been going the wrong way about taming them, I needed a different tactic. So, I let them come to me. In time, they've had to be clipped again for safety reasons (female being so aggressive she was also attacking the other birds, in or out of the cage, and clipping restricted her reach of them) and the male lovebird was clipped as well to prevent him from getting bit through the cage bars should he land on her cage. Things regressed far with the male lovebird being clipped. I had since moved the other birds out of the room, so the room only has the two lovebirds in their own separate cages.
The female lovebird remains clipped to protect the male, but the male has recently become flighted again and I have noticed his confidence growing and after five months, he is finally exploring his whole new cage, instead of staying up top all the time. The female lovebird I no longer reach in her cage unless to give her food, water, or clean the cage or to add a new toy. To rearrange the cage, I make sure she is not in her cage and I am safe to change things inside for her.
This mutual agreement with her has really brought out her trust in me and now she is fully tame, she steps up, she runs over and interacts with us, shes not super cuddly but she does accept some scritches (headscratches) and she is not as aggressive in the cage. We let her come out of her cage and then we towel her to bring her to her playgym. The towel protects her and me. If she bites my hand untowelled there is always that chance she could be dropped, the towel prevents this from happening.
All it took was not forcing the taming upon them. The male still is not fully tame, he will let us hold him on his own terms, he likes laying in our hands, but he will not step up. Currently as of writing this sticky, it has taken me one year and seven months to build up the trust I have earned with them. So please, if your bird does not give you results even in a few weeks, never give up on them, as they may take years to fully trust you. However, the trust earned was based on respect and space and I find a stronger bond can be forged this way.
I just wished to share my experiences using these methods and maybe give hope and help to others with birds in this situation.
Here are some photos that may be of interest for people wanting to see the results:
For the female lovebird, this was her as a baby when we clipped her wings and worked on her stepping up, you can see by her reactions that this is not a method for her
having her fly to me for the treats rather than me approaching her
even the shy male would fly to me for a cup filled with toys and paper!
this show's their progress using this method
and a video of the female enjoying some scritches!
This method can be used for ANY bird, just my experience with untame skittish and aggressive birds are limited to my lovebirds, but this same method can help all of you with your birds of any species come to trust you more
