The Battle of Hampton Roads: New Perspectives on the USS Monitor and the… (2006)
by Harold Holzer
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A fairly readable collection of essays which at their best draw heavily on contemporary accounts of how these ships were received, how they fought, and what it was like to serve in them. The single biggest impression I take away from this book is what a difficult man John Ericsson could be; any problem with the "Monitor" and her sister ships was always the fault of the USN.
I'll admit that I'm a bit bemused that there are people who are passionate enough in this day and age to try and claim a tactical victory for CSS "Virginia" and her crew over USS "Monitor." To paraphrase what was said about the German "Kaisermarine" in World War I after the battle of Jutland; the "Virginia" had assaulted her jailers, but she was still in jail. Then again, I'm not a descendent of Catesby ap Jones!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0823224813, Paperback)On March 8 and 9, 1862, a sea battle off the Virginia coast changed naval warfare forever. It began when the Confederate States Navy's CSS Virginia led a task force to break the Union blockade of Hampton Roads. The Virginia sank the USS Cumberland and forced the frigate Congress to surrender. Damaged by shore batteries, the Virginia retreated, returning the next day to find her way blocked by the newly arrived USS Monitor. The clash of ironclads was underway. After fighting for nine hours, both ships withdrew, neither seriously damaged, with both sides claiming victory. Although the battle may have been a draw and the Monitor sank in a storm later that year, this first encounter between powered, ironclad warships spelled the end of wooden warships-and the dawn of a new navy. This book takes a new look at this historic battle. The ten original essays, written by leading historians, explore every aspect of the battle-from the building of the warships and life aboard these iron coffinsto tactics,strategy, and the debates about who really won the battle of Hampton Roads. Co-published with The Mariners' Museum, home to the USS Monitor Center, this authoritative guide to the military, political, technological, and cultural dimensions of this historic battle also features a portfolio of classic lithographs, drawings, and paintings. Harold Holzer is one of the country's leading experts on the Civil War. His books include Lincoln and Cooper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President and, for Fordham, Lincoln on Democracy (co-edited with Mario M. Cuomo) and The Lincoln-Douglas Debates: The Complete, Unexpurgated Text. Tim Mulligan's books include Virginia: A History and Guide.

I just realized what a dumb sh## I have been (my friggin' brain doesn't work anymore either!)....I broke my own #1 rule!....."Assume nothing, check everything!"
I hadn't looked in your project pic's till just now!!!!....
that looks like a Victor Junior open plenum intake manifold....
that's a serious mis-match no-no to the rv cam...
that intake is designed for a motor that cruises at atleast 3,000 rpms to have enough Hg to make enough A/F velocity to make a decent "quality" "atomized" A/F mix for a good power fuel burn...
it designed for a motor that "operates" at 2500min-6500HP peak rpms with a "mega" cam and high CR (like the 10/1 motor)....
the rv cam is designed to work from 1500-4500HP peak and wants a very high velocity A/F mix at that rpm band from a small runners dual plane intake....
that open plenum intake is likely the (75%?) reason the motor has no balls and really crummy mpg...
there's not nearly enough A/F velocity with the open plenum intake to keep the gas in suspension till it gets into the combustion chamber....the gas is turning back to a liquid in the intake and liquid gas makes no power at all just dripping into the cylinders...
a stock 350 iron intake is actually the best choice for a rv cam... (nah, 20lbs+ more weight..I can't/won't do that on my car..)
sell the open plenum on ebay and buy a used performer 350 intake off Ebay...that will work fine and a whole lot better for "pep" and mpg and very likely chirp the tires!!!!...
with a open plenum and a rv cam I haven't a clue what the vac guage will read..... but basically 6Hg to 13Hg =crummy A/F mix quality=major power loss=not enough suction for the carb to make a good mix and velocity...(so all I can do is take a wild guess what you will see when you get to test with the vac guage):
your idle Hg should be 18-20...likely about 10-12
your 2k no load Hg should be about 20....likely about maybe 13-14
your 60mph cruise hg should be 18+...likely only maybe 12
the good news...very likely your tranny is plenty good as is....
it will be just a total waste of time to try to tune/adjust the vac advance timing with that open plenum intake for mpg and acceleration...but it is a kinda' fun "tinkering" project...and does teach you alot about what a motor is actually doing while you drive....
re: staying busy till warm weather?
remove and improve/refurbish the 100's of small parts (brackets/SS trim/knobs/tailight housings/whatever) that you can work on in the house...so many of those parts do take forever to do....prepped for paint, those parts will be fine stored for 3 months+ in the house
LOL...this thread would have been a whole lot shorter if I had been smart enough to look in your album before my first post...or if you had listed that intake as part of your motor description....
no balls with what should be a 340ft/lbs+ motor and only 2700 lbs just didn't make sense....only took "my brain" a week(?) to figure out why!...your motor is way down on TQ with that intake

I'd say that's a pretty decent trade in
This is a discussion on Vexed about car purchase within the New Member Hangout forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; I'd say that's a pretty decent trade in...
I'd say that's a pretty decent trade in
The car has another thing going against it... No extended armrest. Mine is always in the "up" position in my Rex. Why can't this be easy?
Yellow lights mean go faster!!!
I am sure you wouldn't regret your purchase, but you might regret not getting it when you look back on it if you don't.
As far as the WRX being just as fast as the STi, sure it is...But the STi has a lot more potential if you want to do future modifications (obviously unless you just gut everything in the WRX...then we are talking about pretty much the same car and if that is what you are going to do then go for the cheaper WRX).
Black STI, I think you completely understand me! . I am trying to explain this concept to my wife. I have shrines/collections of STI photos. I too was just trying to be practical saying, "I don't NEED a STI. There are a lot of things we don't need. I could probably get by with an 84 Pinto with a gas leak... That doesn't mean I am willing to
Yellow lights mean go faster!!!
I am going to pick up my black 2012 STI 5 door tomorrow! I finally am going to own a STI! Thanks everyone for the advice. I still can't believe I am getting rid of my WRX. I thought I would have it forever...
Yellow lights mean go faster!!!
Congrats! Hopefully everything will work out for you!

NEC Announces the Appointment of Violist Maria Lambros to the Faculty
Outstanding Chamber Musician Comes to Conservatory in September 2014
Boston Symphony Violist Cathy Basrak Also Joins Faculty, Teaching Orchestral Repertory
New England Conservatory is delighted to announce the appointment of violist Maria Lambros to the strings faculty. Lambros, a passionate chamber musician and teacher, will teach studio lessons and coach chamber music beginning with the 2014-15 academic year.
The Conservatory also announces the engagement of Boston Symphony Orchestra violist Cathy Basrak to the faculty where she will teach the orchestral repertory class for student violists.
Lambros has performed as a chamber musician throughout the world. As a member of three of the country's finest string quartets, she has played in venues such as the Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall, Vienna's Konzerthaus, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Library of Congress. She was a member of the renowned Ridge String Quartet, which was nominated for the 1993 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance for their recording of the Dvorak Piano Quintets with pianist Rudolf Firkusny. The recording won Europe's prestigious Diapason d'Or in the same year. She was also a founding member of the 1985 Naumburg Award–winning Meliora String Quartet, which was Quartet-in-Residence at the Spoleto Festivals of the U.S., Italy, and Australia, and which recorded Mendelssohn's Octet with the Cleveland Quartet. She was most recently a member of the Mendelssohn String Quartet and is currently the violist with the New York based chamber ensemble La Fenice.
Lambros appears regularly at a number of major chamber music festivals, including Yellow Barn, Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival (a 20-year affiliation that also involves membership on the Advisory Panel), Aspen, Santa Fe, Tanglewood, La Jolla, Caramoor, Vancouver, Norfolk, Skaneateles, Chamber Music West, Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival, and New York's Mostly Mozart Festival.
A sought after collaborator, she has appeared with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Peabody Trio, and the Cleveland, Guarneri, Juilliard, Muir, Brentano, Borromeo, Colorado, and Orion Quartets, among others, and has performed with many distinguished artists including Leon Fleisher, Jan De Gaetani, Walter Trampler, Paula Robison, Pamela Frank, Joshua Bell, and Steven Isserlis.
Lambros has been involved in commissioning new works and has had many works written especially for her, including a Viola Concerto, three Viola Sonatas and numerous pieces for viola in combination with other instruments. She has an avid interest in period instruments, and has performed and recorded with Context of Houston and appeared as a guest with Musica Rara Baltimore. She has recorded for the RCA. Telarc, CRI, BMG, Ecoclassics and Bridge labels.
A native of Missoula, Montana, Lambros is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music with the Performer's Certificate and holds an M.A. in Humanities and Social Thought from New York University. She was named one of "Montana's Leading Artists and Entertainers of the 20th Century," a millennial list highlighting the last 100 years of Montanans' exceptional contributions to art and culture. In addition to her work at NEC, Lambros is a faculty member of the Peabody Conservatory of Music and has been a member of the Yellow Barn Music School and Festival faculty for the past 14 years.

For the millennia before electricity, humans woke up to the gradual light of sunrise. Our brains thrive in this environment. Our circadian rhythm, cortisol cycles, and sleep health are all evolved for dawn stimulation.
Somewhere along the line things got twisted. Instead of waking up with the sun in a relaxed and energized state we now lurch awake, in the dark, to blaring alarm clocks. This means that your first waking experience is a fight-or-flight response with your stress hormones going through the roof. It's not a great start to the day. And unfortunately, long-term activation of your body's stress response can cause heart disease, obesity, depression and general misery.
Speaking as someone who hasn't slept past 4:00AM since 2009, I feel like I have unique insight into how lame an unnatural wake pattern is. (very lame) After years of torment I finally decided to make a change so I got a wake-up light. I bought a Phillips model, because it was the cheapest, and it's turned out to be pretty much the shizzle.
It works by gradually lightening until it reaches a level of brightness similar to sunrise. Then it makes a chirping bird noise, just in case the light wasn't enough to wake you. I've been using this thing for a couple of months and only once have I needed the bird chirps to wake up. Usually by the end of the lighting cycle I'm awake and coherent.
The wake-up light is not a quick fix for a crummy lifestyle. But I've found that starting the day off with healthy hormone levels makes me more effective and less stressed throughout the day. I also think I fall asleep more easily and sleep more deeply through the night.
True, waking up to a light bulb isn't quite as good as waking up with our big yellow friend in the sky, but I'll take it any day over a blaring klaxon and flashing LEDs.

Life-history traits may affect DNA mutation rates in males more than in femalesJune 13, 2011
For the first time, scientists have used large-scale DNA sequencing data to investigate a long-standing evolutionary assumption: DNA mutation rates are influenced by a set of species-specific life-history traits. These traits include metabolic rate and the interval of time between an individual's birth and the birth of its offspring, known as generation time. The team of researchers led by Kateryna Makova, a Penn State University associate professor of biology, and first author Melissa Wilson Sayres, a graduate student, used whole-genome sequence data to test life-history hypotheses for 32 mammalian species, including humans. For each species, they studied the mutation rate, estimated by the rate of substitutions in neutrally evolving DNA segments -- chunks of genetic material that are not subject to natural selection. They then correlated their estimations with several indicators of life history. The results of the research will be published in the journal Evolution on 13 June 2011.
One of the many implications of this research is that life-history traits of extinct species now could be discoverable. "Correlations between life-history traits and mutation rates for existing species make it possible to develop a hypothesis in reverse for an ancient species for which we have genomic data, but no living individuals to observe as test subjects," Makova explained. "So, if we have information about how extant species' life history affects mutation rates, it becomes possible to make inferences about the life history of a species that has been extinct for even tens of thousands of years, simply by looking at the genomic data."
To find correlations between life history and mutation rates, the scientists first focused on generation time. "The expected relationship between generation time and mutation rate is quite simple and intuitive," Makova said. "The more generations a species has per unit of time, the more chances there are for something to go wrong; that is, for mutations or changes in the DNA sequence to occur." Makova explained that the difference between mice and humans could be used to illustrate how vastly generation time can vary from species to species. On the one hand, mice in the wild usually have their first litter at just six months of age, and thus their generation time is very short. Humans, on the other hand, have offspring when they are at least in their mid-teens or even in their twenties, and thus have a longer generation time. "If we do the math we see that, for mice, every 100 years equates to about 200 generations, whereas for humans, we end up with only five generations every 100 years," Makova said. After comparing 32 mammalian species, her team found that the strongest, most significant life-history indicator of mutation rate was, in fact, the average time between a species member's birth and the birth of its first offspring, accounting for a healthy 40% of mutation-rate variation among species.
Makova's team also found that generation time affects male mutation bias -- a higher rate of DNA mutation in the male sperm versus the female egg. "Females of a species are born with their entire lifetime supply of oocytes, or egg cells. These cells have to divide only once to become fertilizable," Makova explained. "However, males of a species produce sperm throughout their reproductive life, and, compared with egg cells, sperm cells undergo many more DNA replications -- many more chances for mutations to occur." Previous researchers had demonstrated a higher DNA mutation rate in mammalian males than in mammalian females, a phenomenon called male mutation bias. However, until now, no one had shown that generation time was the main determinant of this phenomenon.
The second life-history trait that Makova's team examined was metabolic rate -- the amount of energy expended by an animal daily -- and how it correlates with genetic mutations. Wilson Sayres explained that some of the team's 32 test species, such as shrews and rodents, fell into the high-metabolism category, while others, such as dolphins and elephants, fell into the low-metabolism category. Previous researchers had hypothesized that the higher the metabolic rate, the greater the number of mutations. "According to this idea, sperm cells should be more affected than egg cells by a higher metabolic rate," Wilson Sayres said. "A sperm cell is very active and constantly moving, and, in addition, its cell membrane is not very dense. But an egg cell basically sits there and does nothing, while being protected by a thicker membrane, much like a coat of armor." Wilson Sayres explained that the combination of high energy and meager protection leaves sperm cells more susceptible to bombardment by free radicals -- atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons -- and that these free radicals can increase mutations. "The hypothesis is that a high metabolism greatly increases this already volatile situation, especially for sperm; so, in our study, we expected stronger male mutation bias in organisms with high metabolic rate," Wilson Sayres said.
Makova's team found that, unlike generation time, metabolic rate appeared to be only a moderate predictor of mutation rates and of male mutation bias. "While this finding was not as significant as the generation-time result, I suspect that further studies may provide stronger evidence that metabolic rate exerts an important influence on mutation rates and male mutation bias," Makova said. She explained that the challenge is to disentangle metabolic rate as a separate factor from generation time. "The two factors strongly correlate with one another, so it's hard to get a clear fix on how metabolism might be acting independently of generation-time intervals."
Third, Makova and her team explored another life-history trait that other researchers had hypothesized might affect mutation rates -- sperm competition. "Sperm competition is just that -- the struggle between the sperm of different males to fertilize egg cells," Wilson Sayres said. "In a species such as the chimpanzee, where females mate with many different males during a given cycle, intense sperm competition results in large testicle size, and thus, high sperm production. But in a harem species such as the gorilla, where each female is basically exclusive to one male, sperm competition is much less relevant, and the result is small testicle size and low sperm production." Makova explained that sperm competition should, in theory, correlate positively with sperm mutation and thus a higher male mutation bias. "The more sperm that are produced, the more cell divisions are needed and the greater the chances are of mistakes during DNA copying, or replication," Makova said.
However, in the case of sperm competition, the results were surprising. "We did not find as strong an association between male mutation bias and sperm competition as other researchers had hypothesized, although we speculate that future studies might yield different results if the data on sperm competition are collected in different ways," Wilson Sayres explained.
In addition to Makova and Wilson Sayres, the other authors of the soon-to-be-published scientific paper include Chris Venditti of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom, and Mark Pagel of the University of Reading in the United Kingdom and the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Theres sure no doubt who threw the brick!

Man shoots, kills intruder
By Bill Archer
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
MONTCALM — A Mercer County man shot and killed an intruder who used a brick to gain access to the man's rural home in the Buttermilk Junction section of the county.
Adam Lee Bennett, 24, of Falls Mills, Va., was dead at the scene of the shooting according to Cpl. D.W. Miller of the Princeton Detachment of the West Virginia State Police. Bennett died as a result of a single gunshot wound to his "upper right chest area" from a .357 magnum pistol.
Miller and Trooper L.F. Keaveny, also of the Princeton Detachment, were dispatched to the home of Rodney Hendrick at 11 p.m., Wednesday night. "As a result of our investigation, we discovered that there was an attempted break-in at the Hendrick residence," Miller said.
"Mr. Bennett smashed a window out of the front door to the Hendrick residence and apparently ran away," Miller said. "He came back in a short time and struck the door with a brick, knocking it open. He then stepped inside the residence where he was shot."
Miller said that Hendrick, 64, called 911. "He said someone had entered his residence and that he shot at him," Miller said. "He didn't know if he had hit the intruder or not at the time. He then went outside of the house and discovered Mr. Bennett in the driveway. Mr. Hendrick came back and called for an ambulance."
Miller said that the Hendrick home is relatively new, "about two years old" and is located on a 68-acre parcel of land with only one nearby neighbor. "He and his wife were asleep," Miller said. "His wife heard the glass shatter. That's what caused him to investigate."
Miller said Hendrick was not arrested, and added that the investigation is ongoing.
Theres sure no doubt who threw the brick!
One thing for sure, he will never do that again!
Bennett was just wasting our air anyway!
Good show. The .357 has been a fav of mine for 45yrs.

How do i find the equation of a parabola in the form ax^2+bx+c?
If y = f(x) = a x^2 + b x + c
and a, b and c are constants
then you have your parabola.
That IS one.
Now do you want some particular parabola?
for example if I want a parabola that opens up (holds water) and has a vertex at x = 4 and y = -5
Then I can use the form:
(x-h)^2 = 4 g (y-k)
where (h,k) is the vertex and it will open up if g is positive. (by the way g is the distance from the vertex to the focus)
The constant g determines how "steep" it is.
so for our vertex at (4, -5) I have
(x-4)^2 = 4 g (y+5)
for our example let's take g = 1/4 to make it simple
x^2 -8 x +16 = y + 5
y = x^2 -8 x + 11
which is your form that you wanted

Odyssey Keychain
Never satisfied with the status quo, the OTX Design department always has some sort of wild, futuristic product in the wings and for 2013, the Keychain is one of these products. While the typical 510 design still does the trick just fine, the Keychain improves on the design with hollow pins that have a larger diameter (more strength) and a 3mm threaded master link and 3mm half link that eliminate the need for a chain breaker. Pretty cool–another good idea from the Odyssey camp.

" Manufacturer: Nestle / Type: Chocolate Drinks "
Back on the dreaded Diet. To be honest it seems to be going alright - 2 stone lost (and it feels like another 100 to go :-)). I don't have the biggest sweet tooth, give me a bag of Crisps or Chips anyday before a bar of Chocolate but I find when I am on a Diet then I fancy sweet things more. So I have been turning to products such as this for a low calorie Chocolate fix. Since the weather has been pretty rotten too then a Mug of Hot Chocolate has been a sweet Comfort. The Skinny Cow brand has other products apart from Hot Chocolate. The only other thing I have had has been the Ice Cream Bars and they are pretty yummy.
I picked up a tub of this in my local branch of Home Bargains. It was selling for £1.49 which I think is a bit cheaper than what it would be in Asda for this size of tub which is 200g. I know you used to get single serve sachet of this but not sure if they still are sold like this. They used to costs around 40-50p and a handy thing to pop in a work bag instead of chucking a big tub in.
Just scoop 2 teaspoonfuls of this power into some Hot Water and stir in. You can smell the Minty Chocolate scent when you unscrew the lid and It smells nice but not too strong a scent. It makes me think of a Watered down version of After Eight's but without such a strong Peppermint scent.
After tasting this I wouldn't say that I was disappointed but although the smell of this smells nice and rich the taste just seemed to be a bit weaker than what I was expecting. You could still taste the Mint and the Milk Chocolate but when I drink Options Hot Chocolate I can taste a lot more from it than I can with this drink. Calorie wise they are the same so I wonder why the weaker taste with this drink?
This has 38 calories when made as directed on the tub, so a quick and easy low calorie drink.
This is alright, but I much prefer Options as the taste is so much nicer.
I do enjoy my hot drinks all year round but more so during the cold months, and as our early winter took hold I have been buying more and drinking more hot chocolate. I do tend to enjoy making my own but it's so much easier to add to a mug with some boiling water and jobs done!
Skinny Cow Mint Hot Chocolate by Nestle:
'The combination of rich chocolate and mouthwatering mint makes this a little cup of heaven. It's the perfect pick-me-up treat that's also very low in fat - bliss'
Normally I always stick to options or highlights but as they were out of stock at the time (Well didn't have the ones I wanted) I picked up some Skinny Cow.
My Findings:
Well it was extremely cold when coming back from shopping so it was perfect timing for a cup of hot chocolate. Skinny Cow Mint can either be purchased in a tub or sachets, I chose the tub on this occasion all you need to do is add two heaped teaspoon to a cup/mug and pour over your boiled water.
One thing I noticed straight away is that it didn't smell as strong as the Options Hot Chocolate Mint, which was a little disappointing but I hadn't tasted it yet so still hope. Second thing I noticed is that it needed a lot of stirring! It's a low calorie hot chocolate drink however you'll be burning more calories stirring it until the hot chocolate has all blended into the water.
Once I had finished stirring my hot chocolate I waited a few minutes for it to cool; my first sip it had a nice light taste of chocolate followed by a hint of mint. The mint within the hot chocolate was rather weak and it was more like a plain hot chocolate. It had a light creamy texture in your mouth even though I didn't use any milk or sweeteners.
You do taste more mint in the after taste of the drink more so than your initial sip, still a nice drink on these cold days but I much prefer Options! A typical mug of Skinny Cow Mint is around 40 calories, but Options Hot Chocolates are tastier with fewer calories.
Price and Availability:
I was very shocked when it comes to the price of this; I purchased mine while on offer at £1.29 in my local Tesco's which I thought was a fair price for the 200g tub. In some supermarkets this retails at £3.49 and up which personally I think is way over priced.
As mentioned you can also purchase this in mini sachets handy when at work popping one in your bag or just to try before you buy the larger version, prices start from 30p to 45p.
A nice enough hot chocolate drink but not nice enough or minty enough for me. I shall be sticking to my Option Hot Chocolate they have more flavours and are way more flavoursome. However if you prefer a less minty hot chocolate then please do put it to the test and give it a try? You may like it.
Two out of five stars from me.
Thanks for reading :o)
Additional Information:
Skinny Cow is a company that aid to help slimming along side a calorie control diet. They don't just do hot chocolates, they always have their own range of ice creams consisting of bars, cones, sandwiches, and good old tubs of ice creams. All with an array of flavours which I shall be trying come the warmer days!
I'm trying to wean myself off all things sinful. So far I've kicked cigs in to touch, I'm not drinking alcohol at all, I'm getting plenty of sleep and eating my 5-a-day.....boring I know, healthy I will be....apart from one very unexpected turn of events. I have never been a chocolate fan, I could probably count on both hands the amount of chocolate bars I would eat in a year, until now. It would seem that in the midst of my abstinance I have swapped all other addictions for one major player in the game of clogged arteries and a massive behind......chocolate, and plenty of it!
Having crept up to a stone above my usual 9, I'm trying to tackle the problem using restricted calorie items, although I have to admit I'm not a big fan of eating cardboard-like products for the greater good theory. It is during my time spent on this new fad stage of my life, I have discovered The Skinny Cow. I am not cow nor am I skinny, but I'm very glad someone thought to invent a low-calorie hot chocolate that a) tastes like chocolate and b) is a lot lower in calories than most other alternatives.
The Skinny Cow instant indulgance 'mint' flavour is tasty and actually feels like a treat. There are 37 calories per cup when made using 200mls of hot, not boiling water. That's a 0.001lb better than the 99 calories per cup of Malteasers hot choc or Cadbury's at 89. I find that a small splash of milk on to the powder before you add the water makes the drink just a little bit more substantial. It also stops the powder getting caught in bubbles, preventing that awful surprise when you acidently chew one!
The packaging is bright and cheerful. You get 200g for £2.86, which is a bit more expensive than some other well known brands but I think it's worth it. The 200g jars are on offer at Asda at the moment for £2, so hurry off to buy one!
The ingredients are of high quality, there are no hydrogenated fats, no artificial preservatives and no added colours. It provides a source of fibre and is low in fat and sugars. This leads me to believe I can pass this drink off as an indulgent part of my new found wholesome lifestyle!
For anyone on a diet, this drink is an ideal way of satisfying a sweet craving without breaking too many rules, so pop one in your cupboard. They come in handy individual portions too, so I've got some in my handbag.
I think I forgot to mention how very minty the mint flavour is, so if it's not your cup of tea (!) then I'd stick to original.
Yum Yum Yum, a really tasty alternative to an evening treat. A lot of low fat hot chocolates are really tasteless but because this one is mint flavoured you still have a chocolate treat but it is flavour stacked. It's really well priced at around £2. I would recommend that you put a splash of milk in the top as this makes it creamier. It's really easy to get into the habit of having one every night they are that tasty. It dissolved really easily in the hot water which I was not expecting as a lot of low calorie hot chocolates are low calorie as the powder doesn't even go into the water so essentially you just have slightly flavoured hot water. This is a revelation it is really great for a completely guilt free treat that everybody can enjoy. For little ones it's great with marshmallows in it.
There is actually something out there which wont make you the size of a whale which doesn't actually taste like card board!
I don't know how they have done it but they have and its well worth a go. I bought my first tub a few months ago and I can't stay off the stuff!
Hot chocolate isn't something that I used to drink regularly, it was an indulgence perhaps, both because it was fattening and also I found that I had to make it with milk, not water to really get the full enjoyment.
Skinny cow however have managed to strike upon a recipe which is so low in fat that I can drink it more regularly and also it tastes great just made with water!
An added bonus for those of us who like to keep the purse strings nice and tight is that you only need two spoons per cup! I was really pleased with this as I have found that with some of the other famous brands I have needed to use more than the reccomended amounts to create the richness of the chocolate flavour.
Melted belgium chocolate Nigella style it is not, but it is delicious!
Go on, give it a go!
***I am reviewing the sachet version as dooyoo would not add as already on site under the jar format*****
I love sitting down with a good book and a hot drink as well as sometimes a nice biscuit or bit of chocolate whilst enjoying a good book. I happen to love drinking the options hot chocolate drinks in particular the mint and orange flavoured ones. I tend to buy a fair few of the sachets in one go when they are on offer and only the other day I was in Asda and thought I'd treat myself so some. However, as I was looking at them my friend commented that she had seen the skinny cow mint variety ones for only 10p a sachet in the B&M store next door. So I decided instead to just buy 5 orange flavoured ones and buy the skinny cow mint ones instead as then of course I could get double the amount for my money of that flavour!
The packaging:
The sachet is long and thin the same as the options variety sachets are. These are mainly white in colour except for a black band at the top and bottom. The skinny cow logo with the skinny cow herself draped above it at the top end and the word 'mint' is in big letters halfway down in bright green. The nutritional information is on the back along with the company address. I think it is very easy to spot these on the shelf as they are quite bright so they do stand out.
Making the drink:
The instructions tell you to enjoy by emptying the sachet into a mug and fill with hot but, not boiling water. I never make these drinks that way preferring instead to make with hot milk. I enjoy hot chocolate this way and it of course is just not as creamy with just water. I have had one of my sachets with just water when I was running low on milk and it still tastes nice but, personally I think much better when made with hot milk. The one thing I would say is it takes a lot of stirring to get all the bits mixed in! If you are too impatient it will be clumpy and not as chocolaty as the flavour is not fully mixed in. So be warned!
Upon taking the first sip you can really taste the mint - of course when using these sachets you are limited to how much you can out in the cup as opposed to when you buy a tub of it. I feel the portion is just right though as it is full of flavour without being over the top. The mint flavour is lovely combined with the chocolate - overall a very enjoyable drink indeed!
Overall opinion:
I am glad my friend told me about these as they are well worth the money. For 10p a sachet it is much cheaper than buying a tub and also cheaper than buying the options equivalent too. For now I will carry on buying options orange flavoured ones as unfortunately skinny cow do not make one in that flavour but, if they ever do I know I will be switching to their version rather than options if that flavour is as nice as the mint ones! Recommended.
There is nothing more relaxing after a late shift than coming home and relaxing on the sofa with a good TV program and a mug of hot chocolate - Bliss! I have always tended to buy Galaxy Hot Chocolate because of it's rich, creamy taste. However on a visit to Asda a few weeks ago I noticed that the Skinny Cow hot chocolate range was on offer at only £1 (usual price £1.99) for a 200g tub - a bargain too tempting to resist. I like the combination of mint and chocolate so naturally seleced the mint flavour hot chocolate, putting THREE tubs in my trolley (psychologically I'd convinced myself I'd like it and so best to stock up on the offer!)
Produced by Nestle it is very eye-catching and funky! It comes in a traditional shaped hot chocolate plastic tub with black and white "cow" patches in the background and the skinny cow laying seductively on the front above a mug of the prepared drink - Mmmmm! There are highlights of green on the packaging to emphasise the mint flavour.
The Experience:
I came home after a particularly hectic late shift. Some people would have reached for the wine... I reached for the Skinny Cow! On opening the tub the smell was very chocolately and sweet with a slight hint of mint. I put the kettle on and as directed by the packaging placed 2 heaped teaspoons of the powder into a mug, plus a little extra just to make sure I had a good, strong, flavoursome hot chocolate. I added the hot water and gave it a good stir using a teaspoon. I found that the powder disolved into the water quickly and completely - no floaty, bitty powder particles floating on top. Perfection so far! I always add a little milk to my hot chocolate, to add richness and help cool it down for immediate drinking.
Once made the smell was very minty and set my taste buds off salivating. The consistency is quite thin and watery rather than creamy, due to it been made with water, not milk. Typical of low fat hot chocolates. There was a small amount of froth on the top, but this soon disappeared as I began to drink it.
Now for the real test... the taste. I settled myself onto the sofa, switched on the TV and prepared myself. I raised my mug to my expectant lips, took a sip and waited for my taste buds to respond. Ooooooo!!!! They were not disappointed and most satisfied. The flavour is rich, chocolately and the mint comes through well. Not overpowering, not too sweet, a very good balance of the two. It doesn't have that certain "sweetner" taste that a lot of diet drinks have and you wouldn't know from taste alone that this is low calorie and low fat drink. It has a smooth consistency as you drink it, and my only complaint it that it isn't fuller and creamier. But then again if it was the cow would be fat, not skinny!
Overall this is a very smooth, minty chocolate drink. It is superior to Options because of the rich flavour rather than the artificial taste of essence and sweetners. It won't replace Galaxy drinking chocolate in my cupboard because it's not creamy enough for me in terms of consistency but I would certainly buy it again should it be on offer and would recommend it to those who are watching the waist line and wanting a low calorie hot chocolate drink. It saves on fat and calories but looses nothing in flavour!

I always say that I hate low calorie hot chocolate cos it never tastes very nice but I have found one I like even better then some of the hot chocolates that are packed with sugar.
Skinny Cow make 2 types of hot chcolate and these are a normal plain chocolate one and a mint one. My favourite is the mint flavour cos it's lovely and sweet and I can taste mint and chocolate in the hot drink.
You make it with boiling water and the powder dissolves easy so that I dont get loads of clumps of powder in the bottom of my cup.
The hot chocolate is very thin but cos the taste of chocolate is so strong it makes it feel more filling than it really is. The mint is a bit fake tasting and this is wierd cos mint is the ingrediant that has no calories so they could have used proper mint I reckon.
The mint and chocolate is nice together and the hot chocolate smells quite strong of mint. After I've drunk it the taste of the mint stays with me for a bit and I think the hot chocolate is nice and sweet and that makes it feel like I've had something worse for me than this is.
I must confess I am a bit of a chocoholic but when I'm determined to stick to a diet plan I get my chocolate fix from skinny cow hot chocolate mint drink, while is isn't exactly a fair trade for my favourite areo mint chocolate bar it does make a reasonable substitute. It does in fact have a lovely blend of both mint and chocolate neither is too over powering and I prefer it to other brands of low cal hot drinks in fact it is my fave hot drink. You can buy it in a jar or in sachets I personally buy a jar as it works out a lot better value for money. Its less than 40 cals a mug which around the same as other low cal chocolate drinks and for 40cals you get an excellent chocolate fix. I wouldn't be able to tell it was low cal as its taste rich and creamy and is full of flavour. Its perfect after a long hard to snuggle up on the sofa with and treat yourself. You do however have to really give it a good stir to ensure that the powder is full disolved or you end with chuncks on top and its rather unpleasent. But it is possible to get a good mix just stir with a spoon well.
I do like a nice cup of hot chocolate in the evening but since I joined Weight Watchers last September I've been struggling a little to find a good quality lower fat version, I do like the Options range but the recipe seems to have changed recently and my favourite flavours are not as nice as they used to be.
I first sampled the Skinny Cow hot chocolate when I was sent a sample sachet through the post, it was nice enough but nothing special I thought and not really worth the hike in price compared to Options or Highlights. But then in Sainsbury's I noticed they also make a mint version, and nothing goes better with chocolate in my opinion so I bought a couple of sachets to try.
It's absolutely delicious. The hot chocolate is made with boiling water and I was impressed at how well it mixed, leaving no lumps of claggy powder in the bottom of my cup. I tend to use a small fork for mixing any instant hot chocolate rather than a teaspoon as I find this breaks down the powder much better and gives a smoother end result.
The smell of mint is not overpowering although I was impressed at how strong and full bodied it smelt compared to the inipid aroma of the Mint Options.
As a drink I was surprised at how creamy it tastes, considering this has been made with water rather than milk it manages to attain a much creamier and smoother consistency than most other instant hot chocolates.
You can tell it's a diet hot chocolate as it's thinner than a full fat drink but the flavour is nicely sweet and very chocolately indeed. The mint flavour comes through well and adds a touch more sweetness to really round the drink off. The strength of the mint is perfect in my opinion, some diet hot chocolates go a little overboard on the mint I find but this is not overpowering in the slightest and works to compliment the chocolate flavour perfectly.
I really cannot fault this Skinny Cow hot chocolate at all; it satisfys my craving for something different to tea at night, allows me a little taste of chocolate when dieting doesn't really go hand in hand with this kind of drink and the best news is each mug full will cost you less than 40 calories.
You can buy Skinny Cow hot chocolate in individual sachets or the large tub you can see above which contains ten servings. The sachets cost around 40p each and the tub is £1.99 so it's definitely worth buying the tub if, like me, you will be drinking this regularly.

It's not homework or pop quizzes that trouble a group of Montreal schoolkids; it's that their beloved teacher has hung herself from the classroom ceiling. Well-meaning administrators call in a child psychologist, but the trauma endures, particularly for the volatile student Simon (Émilien Néron), who thinks he's to blame. Enter Monsieur Lazhar (MohamedFellag), a stately Algerian émigré who appears out of nowhere like an angel (or a vulture) to commandeer the class. His methods may be musty—he head-slaps a child and quotes Zola—but Lazhar encourages the students to talk freely about their emotions. Yet the mysterious educator is less than forthcoming about his own tragedy—or whether he's even qualified to teach.
A nominee for this year's Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, Philippe Falardeau's drama stakes out an award-season-appropriate middle ground between regional specificity and genre familiarity. The diasporic subtext and evolving French dialect may be Quebecois concerns, but the movie's racial tensions, clashes of old versus new teaching methods, and classroom breakthroughs are clearly hand-me-downs from familiar heroic-teacher classics like Stand and Deliver. Thankfully, cinematographer Ronald Plante makes long-take magic out of banal locales, while the understated Fellag does for the film what his Lazhar does for the pupils: He's soothing and entrancingly enigmatic enough to keep us fixed to our seats

This movie is top notch, exquisitely directed. It reaches to all of us in ways that I can't even describe. Especially Simon's outburst which gives childhood more meaning than any movie I've seen in a long time.

Dropcam CEO's Beef with Brogramming, Late Nights, and Free Dinners
(Page 2 of 2)
things that only big, mature companies did. That has allowed us to hire from a bigger group of people than we would be able to if we were part of the brogrammer culture.
"We focus our benefits on the entire gamut of people who work at Dropcam. We often do events that are family-friendly—not just buying out a bar for a night like the average Silicon Valley startup. We are planning a big barbeque this year. You can still have a beer at a barbeque, but you can also bring some kids. I also run helicopter rides for everybody."
Don't Serve Free Dinner
"We try to put our money where our mouth is. We pay for breakfast and lunch but we don't bring in dinner. Dinner would cost us nothing and would probably get people working for extra hours late at night. But again, it's one of those things. When you have a person who can work anywhere they want to, and you say, 'We bring in breakfast, lunch, and dinner,' you are really trying to trick them. You are trying to get them to work until 10 pm or midnight every night.
"We bring in breakfast and lunch because we think it makes people more productive if they don't have to go wait in line at restaurants in SoMa, which are crowded. But we don't bring in dinner. We don't make people work late. It's a way to keep people from getting burned out."
Happy, Rested Workers Are Productive Workers
"When you talk to the spouses of employees [who have changed jobs], they say they would rather find another job here [in the Bay Area] than have their spouse leave Dropcam and move, because it's a kind of family. Not the weird, creepy kind of corporate family that makes you stay until midnight every night and forget your real family. It's a different way to run a business, and it comes out of research.
"Did you know that Henry Ford did some research on the number of hours that creative workers can work before becoming marginally productive? It's between 40 and 50 hours per week. Some startups try to play this game of saying, 'We want you to work 80 or 90 hours, but only for a few years,' and they sell the company, and the founders make a lot of money, and the employees make some, but then they're like, 'Why where we working that hard?' Well, why don't we just take some of that money and make it so you don't have to be that productive? We want happy, healthy workers who have a good work-life balance."
If You Must Flip the Company, Hold Out for A Billion Dollars
"We are not building the company to flip it. We have turned down many acquisition offers. Fundamentally, I think that most acquisitions are not good for employees. The average Silicon Valley acquisition is, in the end, in the tens of millions of dollars or less. Think of some of the networks that have been created by the most successful company exits—the PayPal acquisition was for more than a billion dollars. That's almost like an IPO in terms of the value that's created, and look what has come out of that: Elon Musk running SpaceX and Tesla, Peter Thiel running Clarium and Founders Fund, Luke Nosek running Halcyon Molecular.
"Dropcam will be successful if we can create a dynasty of people like that. But you can only do that by aiming for large exits. So that is something that is really important to me: making employees wealthy, versus selling out for something that would just make the founders millions."

I need to create some product shots for a website that need to be saved as .PNG so I can change the background color and don't have problems. But I'm having some trouble creating the Ambient Occlusion and Shadow pass from Cinema...
I set up a multipass render with passes for Shadows, AO and object buffers for the blocks.
What I get from Cinema in the Shadow and AO passes are black and white renderings that are multiplied over the other layers. But what I need is a true transparent pass. I'm attaching an image to explain a little better.
I was able in Photoshop (using channels) to recreate what i want but it's going to be tedious to create all the graphics this way. Is there a better way to set up my pass so I get true transparency?
Any suggestions?

So living in southwestern Pa, it's crazy weather here... On day was in the 30's and a few snow flurries the next it was 50's and sunny....well, Wyatt loves sitting next to the one furnace register after being outside, I swear both dogs plan potty breaks around when the heat is about to kick on! Wyatt hates being under covers but I thought he might like a shirt. Penny had always worn clothes from bathing suits winter coats and its hard to find shirts to fit her nice bc of her shape. I know some of you have posted about shirts and hoodies and coats. I was just curious what size do you all get? Wyatt is 50 lbs, 7 months old. He has a harness that's at it's smallest right now... I think 21-23 inches is the smallest but can't remember for sure. Anyways... Didn't know if you all had a "brand" that fit boxers better bc of their large chest/rib cage. I'll prob just get it a petco/petsmart. I read a thread last night about making them... I do have a sewing machine and do know how to crochet!!!! Thanks guys & dolls :-)

I'm still a huge fan of JJ Boxer Dog Jackets and you can type that into Facebook search and it'll take you right to her page. Her coats are made specifically with the large boxer chest in mind and they are so well made that they even hold up to my brat pack. She makes and sells winter and rain coats but they aren't so heavy that they'd be too hot in 50 degree weather.
Sarge, the foster we have right now, just got his new coat in the mail the other day and he really seems to love it. I'm fairly certain he's never really lived in a house and probably has never had a coat of his own either. However, we went back to cooler weather here a few days ago and since his coat arrived, he'll stick his nose out the door and if it feels chilly or wet, he won't go unless I put his coat on. Then once his coat is dawned, he prances around excitedly and out the door he goes.
The coats are so easy to put on, just slide it over the head and then wrap the Velcro straps under the belly and you're done. Easy breezy!

We had one for SuzyQ and she loved wearing it, she didn't like cold at all. It was like a horse blanket - it fit around her shoulders and had velcro straps around her neck and then velcro straps under her chest and tummy. But it wasn't designed for a boxer specifically and she was a big girl - 75 lbs, I had to get an XL to cover her chest and then the tummy was way too big, but I just strapped them as far as they would go and it was fine. I got it at Petsmart on sale and it was pretty reasonable. It was weather proof and had reflectors on it and then was lined with heavy flannel. Actually if you know how to sew, it wouldn't be hard to make one at all, the pieces would be simple to cut out and that way you could customize it fit perfectly. I'd check some out at the pet stores and I bet you could whip one up easily.

Ha ha ha!!! Thanks! Prob get a jersey knit material so it will stretch a little. Yes, I am the type of person to inspect things and figure out how to make them! I'll see if I can find him a cheap one and try to replicate it but make it actually for him:-) thanks guys!

Scribbles Toddler Shoes
Those first steps can be barefoot. By the six hundredth step, however, you need to start learning how to be part of civilized society. Don't force your kid to grow up and be one of those jerks who goes barefoot to a board meeting. Start 'em with shoes today, and they won't be some shoe-a-phobe later.

Device Master Record & Device History Record: A Regulatory Overview

Training Options
Duration: 60 Minutes
Access recorded version only for one participant; unlimited viewing for 6 months ( Access information will be emailed 24 hours after the completion of live webinar)
Refund Policy
After completion of this webinar the attendee will have a thorough understanding of the what these two important parts of a GMP compliant quality management system are, and how they are established, implemented and controlled.
Two key elements of the Quality System Regulation requirements for the FDA cGMP are the Device Master Record and the Device History Record. These requirements are outlined in paragraphs 820.181 and 820.184 respectively. This webinar will outline the requirements for each of these two elements in significant detail to allow a device manufacturer to understand the requirements of these very important QSR elements for the medical device industry. As we move from the design process into the manufacturing process the Device Master Record is created. As we move through the manufacturing process through the packaging and distribution process the Device History Record is created. Discussion will be made as to which documents need to be established and maintained in the Device Master Record and how the output of the Design Control process (the Design History File) contributes to both the DMR and the DHR. If you take the definition of Device Master Record as being the "Recipe" for the device, then the Device History Record is the "Evidence" that the recipe was followed. To have a standard operating procedure which defines the Device Master Record for a given device and to follow that up with an SOP which defines the specific contents of the Device History Record is imperative to maintaining a GMP compliant system. This webinar will provide practical examples of the both DMR and DHF elements and how they should be linked. Also a review of what should and should not be included in these records will be reviewed.
Areas Covered in the Session:
FDA QSR Requirements for DMR & DHR Including:
Section 820.181: Device Master Record
Section 820.184: Device History Record
How the Design History Record plays a role in the DMR/DHR Content
What Makes Up the DMR
What should be in the DHR
The Role of Operational Documentation in DMR/DHR
How Changes to the DMR Affect the DHR
Who Will Benefit:
Design Engineers

Lid with Lock Position
The special lock feature in all ibidi µ-Dishes enables the user to minimize evaporation. The lock position provides excellent conditions for long term studies in non humidified environments. Gas exchange (carbon dioxide, oxygen) during cell culture is maintained thanks to the gas permeable plastic material of the dish.
TIP: Use the locking feature only if minimal evaporation is
ibidi µ-Dish Family: Versions and Variations
Detailed Comparison ibidi Dishes 35 mm
Microscopy Applications:
Optical Properties:
1High resolution microscopy = high magnification (40x - 100x) and high resolution microscopy including widefield or confocal techniques (e.g., brightfield, DIC, fluorescence). The resolution is limited to ~200 nm by the diffraction limit. Does not include Super-Resolution.
2Super-Resolution microscopy = additional resolution by overcoming the diffraction limit with 63x - 100x oil immersion objectives. Super-Resolution provides a resolution below 200 nm, down to 5-20nm by computational (PALM, SIM, STORM, RESOLVED) and one optical Super-Resolution technology (STED). TIRF is not a Super-Resolution technology.
³DIC Compatibility = The lids are not DIC compatible. Special glass DIC Lids for the µ-Dishes are available separately.

"To study the ultra structure of Streptococcus pyogenes biofilm grown on mouse embryonic fibroblasts, I used the ibiTreat 35mm μ-Dish to optimize the right conditions of biofilm growth. Simply awesome! It has made life so much simpler for me. Tissue culture combined with microscopy is so much easier now. The dishes are very user-friendly too. I have used the ibidi products to get very good quality images. I am really happy with the products!"

"We are pleased with the ibiTreat 35 mm culture dishes. I have given some of your product to one of our grad students to try and he is amazed with the robust axonal outgrowth that he finds only after one day of seeding cells. I have tested other dishes from your competitors and I did not get the reproducibility in growth characteristics like the ibiTreat µ-Dish.
The 35 mm dish holds up wonderfully to automated scanning over a wide scan area (essentially 98% of the growth surface area) which demonstrates the optical clarity and focal stability of the surface over such a wide area (1296 scan fields per well). I look forward to using more of the ibidi product lines in the future."

"Actually, ibidi dishes have single-handedly revolutionized my science. The cells that I use (horizontal retinal cells from fish) are extremely intolerant to being plated on any form of glass, even if the glass is treated with several different compounds. Because of this issue, I was only able to perform fluorescent microscopy on upright confocal microscopes; they allowed us to plate our cells on plastic dishes and image from above. Now, with the ibidi dishes, we are able to use better quality inverted microscopes and higher powered objectives. Our results have proven strong, and we have mentioned the power of ibidi products in our most recent publication.
I am so happy that I learned of your great products through a colleague. Microscopy will never be the same for our laboratory. So far I have purchased 3 boxes of 35mm ibiTreat high dishes. Thank you very, very much."
