Kitchen torches are very similar to other types of burners, except that their size is much smaller and use a different type of gas. The burner works by using canister filled with propane butane, creating a hot flame on top of a metal tip. The kitchen burner is used for baking to brown the exterior of the dish, without the need to be fired inner part. In this way it is achieved a crunchy brown crust.
Kitchen burner is most often used to caramelized sugar on the surface of the famous creme brulee or colored brown so-called mershmalous candy.
How to actually use this unpopular kitchen appliance?
Place the pan or dish with an appropriate dish surface that sure will not be damaged by the heat.
fitted kitchen torch to the gas bottle, following manufacturer's instructions. In most burners simply need to open the handle and place it on the nozzle of the gas bottle.
Place the slider that adjusts the fiery stream or change the switch position.
Press the shutter button on the kitchen burner pointer to start the flow of gas, while light the flame in front of the burner using a lighter or match. Use long matches or a lighter special kitchen to not have your fingers too close to the nozzle.
Hold the flame of about ten centimeters from the dish as gain brown. Carefully watch how it changes its surface – as soon as the section which produce hot start browning, move the flame in another area. Continue in this way until the entire surface of the dish browned.
If you like creme brulee would hardly forgotten crunch of crispy caramel crust and sinking of the spoon in a velvety smooth texture of the cream underneath. Indeed, the way it looks this classic dessert brings much pleasure in consumption. To create irreplaceable crust should only slightly touch the surface of the cream with powerful flame on the kitchen burner. The only disadvantage of this type of kitchen helpers is that in order to produce a flame durable high intensity need frequent recharging.

British Airways supremo Willie Walsh today accused Theresa May of making an "unjustified attack" on London business leaders as a new row broke out over Chinese visas.
Mr Walsh, the head of BA's parent company IAG, hit out after the Home Secretary claimed that campaigners were using "spurious" figures to support their call for high-spending Chinese tourists to be allowed to come to Britain.
Mrs May also insisted in a website article promoted via Twitter that her critics were promoting "skewed perceptions" of the Home Office's Chinese visa system and were "guilty" of spreading a "harmful message" which was damaging the country.
But Mr Walsh, who has led the campaign for an increase in Chinese visitors, today called her comments "an unjustified attack on British business people trying to do their best for Britain".
He added: "The Home Secretary accuses campaigners who want to boost trade with China of using 'spurious figures' to describe the UK's Chinese visa system. The figures are from her own Government.
"Instead of complaining about campaigners who want to improve links with China, she needs to put in place a speedy visa regime that really encourages visitors, growth and jobs."
Mr Walsh said the British embassy in Beijing had reported that 193,000 visas were issued to Chinese visitors last year. He said that this compared with EU figures showing that more than one million Schengen visas, which allow recipients to travel throughout all European Union countries except Britain, were issued in 2011.
Last year Mrs May announced improvements to speed up Chinese visas following warnings from Chancellor George Osborne that delays threatened deter affluent visitors.
In her website article, the Home Secretary said "our Chinese visa system is a service to be proud of" and that there was now "sustained growth" in visitor numbers from China.
She said the visa application form "takes just 10 minutes to complete" and that latest figures show more than 205,000 Chinese visitors had been given the right to come to Britain.
Mr Walsh said, however, that visas still took too long to process, were more expensive than the Schengen visa, and required the submission of fingerprints with each application.
He added: "While the Government is taking some small steps to resolve this problem, it is not enough."

Revision as of 08:05, 3 September 2010
Model based on Law of Mass Action (Weeks 6 - 8)
Michaelis Menten kinetics does not apply
We cannot use Michaelis-Menten kinetics because of its preliminary assumptions, which our system does not fulfil. These assumptions are:
- Vmax is proportional to the overall concentration of the enzyme.
But we are producing enzyme, so Vmax will change! Therefore, the conservation E0 = E + ES does not hold for our system.
- Substrate >> Enzyme.
Since we are producing both substrate and enzyme, we have roughly the same amount of substrate and enzyme.
- Enzyme affinity to substrate has to be high.
Therefore, the model above is not representative of the enzymatic reaction. As we cannot use the Michaelis-Menten model we will have to solve from first principle (which just means writing down all of the biochemical equations and solving for these in Matlab).
Change of output
Instead of GFP, it is now dioxygenase acting on catechol (activating it into colourful form). Catechol will be added to the bacteria manually (i.e. the bacteria will not produce Catechol). Hence, in our models dioxynase is going to be treated as an output as this enzyme is the only activator of catechol in our system. This means that the change of catechol into its colourful form is dependent on dioxygenase concentration.
Model preA: Simple Production of Dioxygenase
This model includes transcription and translation of the dioxygenase. It does not involve any amplification steps. It is our control model against which we will be comparing the results of other models.
Model A: Activation of Dioxygenase by TEV enzyme
The reaction can be rewritten as:
This is a simple enzymatic reaction, where TEV is the enzyme, Dioxygenase the product and split Dioxygenase the substrate. Choosing k1,k2,k3 as reaction constants, the reaction can be rewritten in these four sub-equations:
These four equations were implemented in Matlab, using a built-in function (ode45) which solves ordinary differential equations.
Implementation in TinkerCell
Another approach to model the amplification module would be to implement it in a program such as TinkerCell (or CellDesigner). This would be useful to check whether the Matlab model works.
Model B: Activation of Dioxygenase by TEV or activated split TEV enzyme
This version includes the following features:
- 2 amplification steps (TEV and split TEV)
- Split TEV is specified to have a and b parts
- TEVa is forbidden to interact with TEVa (though in reality there could be some affinity between the two). Same for the interaction between Tevb and Tevb
- Both TEV and TEVs are allowed to activate dioxygenase
- Dioxygenase is assumed to be active as a monomer
- Activate split TEV (TEVs) is not allowed to activate sTEVa or sTEVb (this kind of interaction is accounted for in the next model version)
- This model does not include any specific terms for time delays
- Here is the Matlab code for Model B.
Model C: Further improvement
This model has not been implemented because of the results from Models A and B.
This version adds the following features:
- activated split TEV (TEVs) is allowed to activate not only sD but sTEVa and sTEVb
The first results that were obtained seemed to be flawed since they indicated negative concentrations would be obtained from the amplification step. In particular, for concentrations smaller than 10 − 4mol / dm3 the results were inconclusive since they were oscillating around zero. We realised that this could be due to the ode-solver that we were using (ode45 in Matlab).
Trying to correct this problem with the ode-solver, the following precuations were implemented:
- NonNegative function in Matlab preventing solver from reaching negative values - still some marginally negative values show
- Scaling - all the values were scaled up by a factor of 106 as working on small numbers could be problematic for Matlab. Once the result is generated by the solver the resulting matrix is scaled back down by 106.
When we entered the real production and degradation rates into our model, we once again obtained nagetive values. This was due to our set of differential equations being stiff. Since ode45 cannot solve stiff differential equations, we had to switch to using ode15s - an ode-solver designed to handle stiff equations.
Model pre-A
This is the result of the simulation of simple production of Dioxygenase. It can be seen that the concentration will tend towards a final value of approximately 8×10 − 6mol / dm3. This final value is dependent on the production rate (which has been estimated for all of the models).
Model A
- Initial Concentration
The initial concentration of split Dioxygenase, c0, determines whether the system is amplifying. The minimum concentration for any amplification to happen is 10 − 5mol / dm3. If the initial concentration of split Dioxygenase is higher, then the final concentration of Dioxygenase will be higher as well (see graphs below). Note that the obtained threshold value is higher than the maximum value that can be generated in the cell according to Model pre-A.
- Changing Km:
Km is indirectly proportional to the "final concentration" (which is the concentration at the end of the simulation), i.e. the bigger the value of Km, the smaller the "final concentration" will be. Different Km values determine how quickly the amplification will take place.
(Also, it was found that the absolute value of k1 and k2 entered into Matlab does not change the outcome as long as the ratio between them (Km≈k2 / k1) is kept constant. This is important when simulating (in case entering very high values for k1 and k2 slows down the simulation).
- Changing kcat
If kcat = k3 is increased, the model predicts that the dioxygenase concentration will rise quicker and to higher values. This indicates that k3 is the slowest step in the enzymatic reaction.
- Changing production rate
At the moment, our biggest source of error could be the production rate, which we could not obtain from literature. Hence, we had to estimate the value of the production rate (see variables). We hope to be able to take a measurement of this value in the lab as it has a big effect on model's behaviour.
Sensitivity of Model A (20/08/2010)
We want to determine how our system reacts if different parameters are changed. This is to find out which parameters our system is very sensitive to.
|Initial concentration of split Dioxygenase
|Change of one order of magnitude in the initial concentration, c0, gives change of one order of magnitude in the output concentration (range: 1 > c0 > 10 − 5). Sensitivity is lost for extremely high or low values.
|Change of one order of magnitude results in change of output concentration by one order of magnitude (0.01 < Km < 100). At values smaller than 0.01, the sensitivity is affected. For higher values than 100 the sensitivity is slightly higher than the change of order of magnitude.
|kcat is proportional to dioxygenase production (1-to-1 sensitivity for all values) for an initial concentration of 0.01mol / dm3. For very high initial concentrations, the system is very sensitive to changes in kcat.
|Production rate of TEV
|1-1 sensitivity for most values. At some point the system's response is limited by the initial concentration of sD, so for very high TEV production rates not much change is observed.
|Production rate of split Dioxygenase
|Not much influence on 1-step amplification. However, the value seems to be crucial for simple production of Dioxygenase (1-1 order of magnitude sensitivity).
|Degradation rates
|Sensitive within the relevant range. Not very sensitive for values smaller than 10 − 6. For high degradation rates (1>degradation rate>0.01): unexplainable behaviour.
Hence, the system is sensitive to most of the constants (given a particular range of values). The most crucial one, however, seems to be the initial concentration of split Dioxygenase.
Model B
- Initial Concentration
The initial concentration of split Dioxygenase, c0, determines whether the system is amplifying.
If the initial concentration is changed, the observed behaviour is similar to the one from Model A. If the initial concentration of split Dioxygenase is increased, then the final concentration of Dioxygenase will increase as well (see graphs below).
- Model A vs. B
Running both models with the same initial conditions (c0 = 10 − 5mol / dm3), it has been noted that Model B does not generate a siginificant amplfication over Model A. Hence, it would be more sensible to integrate a one step amplification module into our system.
Colour response model (25/08/2010)
Initially, dioxygenase was being treated as "output" because the last reaction (catechol and dioxygenase react to form a coloured output) is common to all models. We concluded that 2-step amplification (Model B) presented little improvement over 1-step amplification (Model A). However, we realized that it is very important to add this last reaction, since it is an enzymatic reaction, hence an amplification step by itself. Adding it to all models means that Model A becomes a 2-step amplifier and Model B becomes a 3-step amplifier. Having previously drawn the conclusion that 2-step amplification is not much better than 1-step amplification, we decided to model this last step to deduce whether our initial conclusion was valid. If it was true, this would mean that our construct is not innovative at all.
The important information about the last amplification step is that the coloured compound (i.e. the product of the last enzymatic reaction) is toxic to the cells. It is suggested that product of Catechol destroys the cell membrane by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. It causes significant changes in the structure and functioning of membrane components (e.g. disruption of membrane potential, removal of lipids and proteins, loss of magnesium and calcium ions). These effects cause the loss of membrane functions, leading to cell death.
Since the product of Catechol acts on the cell membrane, it might not affect our enzymatic reaction immediately. In our simulation, we will try to model immediate cell death as well as neglecting the effect that the coloured output has on the cell. Comparing these two models will show if there are significant differences in the results.
- Toxicity of three phenolic compounds and their mixtures on the gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis in the aquatic environment
- Toxic Effects of Catechol and 4-Chlorobenzoate Stresseson Bacterial Cells
Initial conclusions(26/08/2010)
Despite our model not working entirely correctly (some negative concentrations were obtained), it was possible to deduce several points.
- The images presented below show cathecol being added at 3 different points in time. Cross-section refers to a point in time at which concentration of dioxygenase in the amplified systems crosses the concentration of the non-amplified system. From these graphs it can be seen that the output amplification is only visible after the cross-section has been reached. Note that these simulations were run for 1M solutions of catechol (which is quite high). This allows to see the differences between various amplification models easily.
- We noticed that amplification is only benefical if the initial concentration of catechol is quite high (>0.01M). For smaller concentrations of catechol, the dioxygenase conetration in different systems do not seem to be crucial for the speed of response (no difference between all 3 models). Hence, for small catechol concentrations the amplified systems are redundant (dioxygenase is overproduced) as concnetration of dioxygenase from simple production seems to be high enough to convert catechol almost instantenously. Amplification models become useful when there is a lot of substrate present to act on (ie. high concentration of catechol). Therefore, we need to determine the threshold value of coloured output for visibility. It will be a crucial factor in deciding whether the amplifiers designed by our team obtain the response faster than by simple production.
Problems with the simulation
Once we have implemented the colour change into the models, we noticed that there are some inconclusive results. After adding catechol, some concentrations were reaching negative values. We checked our equations and constants but could not find a mistake. Hence, we concluded that there must be something wrong with the way that MatLab evaluates the equation or deals with the numbers. The problem seems to originate from the very rapid concentration change of catechol which disrupts the whole system.
Prospective solutions
- Implementation in TinkerCell (31/08/2010)
We hoped TinkerCell will impose non-negative conditions on its solutions. Hence, we implemented the whole amplification model (including coloured output) in TinkerCell. However, we realized that TinkerCell does not deal very well with very high or low numbers (For example, values higher than 105 are not acceptable - this is important since our rate constants (k1) are usually bigger than 105. Also, the low degradation rates (10 − 9) result in a zero output line). However, TinkerCell can still be used for testing that our Matlab programs behave the way we anticipated (by using default values of 1), as well as producing nice diagrams of our system.
- Varying ODE solver options in MatLab (31/08/2010)
We had a close look at the ODE solver options in MatLab. However, we already used the one that gave the most reasonable results (ode15s). We found that decreasing Relative and Aboslute tolerances (to values as small as 10 − 15) significantly improved the simulation. However, this is not an ultimate solution as in the simulations negative numbers still appear (order of 10 − 15). We decided that such small negative concentrations were acceptable. We also decided that the point of interest lies between the first 100 to 150 seconds after adding catechol, while concentrations hit the negatve values at much higher time values.
THe images below show the influence of the relative and absolute tolerance values on the model. Note that it was important to allow the ode-olver to adjust the time step automatically, as big time steps (1 second) were generating wrong answers for the catechol model. Adjusting time steps manually to very small values was not efficient (the whole simulation does not require very high definition simluation).
- Using SimBiology to model (31/08/2010)
We hoped that SimBiology could be more suited for our modelling than using ode-solvers, so we implemented our models into SimBiology. This package offers an interactive user interface similar to Tinker Cell, but uses MatLab to simulate. Initially, we confirmed that our simple production model (Model PreA) and 1-step amplification model (Model A) implemented in SimBiology generated exactly the same results as our ODE equation based models. The interface allowed us to have clearer control over paramters. It also allowed modelling special events, for example, adding catechol at certain point in time. Previously we had to split simulation into to two parts.
Final Conclusions (31/08/2010)
- Changing time when catechol is added
If Catechol is added before t= 1000s, then the coloured output will reach its threshold value faster by simple production. If Catechol is added when t>1000s, then the coloured output will increase (marginally) faster through the amplification step in Model A. There does not seem to be a significant difference between the two models. These observations are true for intial concentration of dioxygenase equal to 10 − 5mol / dm3. However, we noticed that if the initial concentration is raised to 10 − 4mol / dm3, then Model A can be more beneficial than Model preA after only 100 seconds.
- Changing concentration of catechol added
There seem to be 3 regions of catechol concentration that influence the system in different ways. These regions are: c>1M, 1M>c>0.01M, 0.01M>c. The boundaries of these regions tend to vary depending on the choice of other initial conditions. The values given above apply to boundary conditions that are currently considered to be physiologically relevant. Varying the initial concentration of catechol within the highest region does not result in any change of colour output response (It is possible that all enzymes are occupied and the solution is over saturated with catechol). In the middle region the catechol concentration influences the amplfication. Amplification decreased when the concentration tends towards 0.01M. When this region is entered, there is no difference in output production by the two models.
- Cell death
The coloured product of catechol kills cells by destroying the cell membrane. However, we do not know how quickly the cells will die. Therefore, we examined two different cases: immediate cell death and negligible cell death (i.e. cells death is negligible because it takes too long)
Running the simluation in Matlab (not Simbiology!), our conclusions are:
- Immediate cell death slows down production of coloured output. Depending on the threshold concentration this can delay the detectable response by a few minutes.
- If Catechol is added before t=1000s, then cell death slows down the response considerably.
- In case of cells being modelled as alive, the difference between the amplified and the simple production model is smaller than it is in case of cell death.
Since, it appeared that the decision regarding time when cells die is important, we decided to discuss this with Wolf and Harriet. Referring to paper we decided that cell death induced by catechool is a very slow process (takes hours) in comparison to time scale that we are interested in (seconds to several minutes).

Bought one here and screen was cracked. Ordered another one took 29. Days
It's ok for my daughter save your pennies and buy a better laptop
Purchased this a few weeks ago from Woot. Condition was fantastic. I purchased 4GB of ram to upgrade the 2GB that came with it. To be honest, Chrome OS is so snappy, the additional RAM probably isn't needed. Also, note that mine came with 1 2GB stick, so you only need to purchase 1 2GB stick to max out the ram.
Overall the laptop is perfect for school and using on the run. No complaints what-so-ever.

It's an exciting time in the life of "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie, as she and her husband Mike are expecting their second child.
During Tuesday's (June 7) episode of the popular NBC morning show, the 44-year-old broadcaster told the audience, "Mike and I are so excited. We are expecting a baby in December."
There are so many things that go into the live "Today" show broadcast every single day, and the team at NBC decided to make a musical to show viewers exactly what happens. Earlier today (December 29), Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and the rest of the cast and crew sang and danced their way through a 14-minute production that was written by Gifford herself.
Each year they pull out all the stops with hilarious Halloween ensembles and this morning (October 31) the "Today" show hosts and crew dressed up as their favorite characters from "Saturday Night Live."
Matt Lauer went the asexual route and put on a "Pat" outfit while Al Roker and Lester Holt teamed up as The Blues Brothers.
It's an exciting time for Savannah Guthrie and her husband Mike Feldman said hello their first child on Wednesday morning (August 13).
The "Today" show host and her political consultant hubby named their newborn daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman and she weighed in at 8 pounds 5 ounces and measured 19.5 inches.
It's been a busy weekend for Savannah Guthrie, as she said 'I Do' with fiancé Mike Feldman at a Tucson, Arizona wedding ceremony.
Tinseltown is replete with romance this time of year, and some of our favorite famous folks took to Twitter to share Valentine's Day greetings.
Chris Brown tweeted some love- "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all the beautiful women around the world.. Know that you are loved and appreciated !! God bless."
Reaching out to an audience that is in bed before his late night talk show airs, Jimmy Fallon joined Savannah Guthrie on a visit to St. Jude's Children's hospital as part of the "Today" show's Thanks & Giving series.
It's one of the most beloved holidays of the year, and Halloween brought out some wild and crazy creativity in our favorite stars.
And while there was a surplus of sexy and scary costumes this year, GossipCenter has identified ten of the most memorable disguises.

Damaged top sheet on board still in factory wrapper?
Hi guys,
I have been stoked all week knowing my brand new 11/12 ride highlife ul would be showing up today. It was just delivered by ups and before I signed for it I made sure the box had no damage which it didn't. The box was flawless so I opened it up thinking the board would be pristine and it is except for one spot on the right edge where the top sheet covers the slime walls. The spot is to the right of the bottom set of binding mounts. The top sheet is missing in this spot and fibers can be seen as well as a clear view of the urethane side wall. The edge of the top sheet further down is rough and not laying down smoothly either. The board still has the wrapper and label on it and does not appear to ever have been opened. It looks like a defect not like it was damaged. I bought it from surftheearthsnowboards.com I am so bummed now. Was looking forward to riding next week for the first time this season. Because this appears to be a defect and not damage should I contact ride or the company I bought the board from?
I'd contact the seller first..they'll likely be a lot quicker in getting you a replacement. If that doesn't work go to the manufacturer
10 minutes in a lift line it's going to look worse. Sack the fuck up and go ride it.
Its a brand new board that I paid good money for. I don't just have shit given to me ass clown. The last thing I am going to do is take it out and get water in the core and be sol.
Don't be such a moron it's a minor cosmetic chip on a topsheet that hasn't done shit to the core. Fucking think before you post asswipe.
Listen up fuck stick. If I wanted to hear from an asshole I'd fart. All I asked for is opinions on which way to handle this. Don't need some internet tough guy talkin shit. Have a great day!
well, are you functionally retarded? you smoke JENKUM?
you have only three options: ride it, return it, or warranty it. if you don't want to ride it send it back to the place you bought it from. warranty claims are for equipment that is used, this is a simple return.
Ya I'm retarded?
you might be. you don't know how to perform simple transactions for goods and services and you're named after a drug made from human poo

Hey guys! I'm new to the TDH boards. I'm Cressie, a Dragon-Con veteran and recent fellow Zammer. I'm a recovering Padme addict- in other words I need something more challenging than sewing senatorial and I want to try my hands at armor! So I thought Zam would be the perfect costume to get me out of my Padme addiction- Plus I really want a good costume challenge this summer! And after reading most of the threads, it looks like I really have my work cut out for me.
I've been dying to do this costume for several years. She's the sexiest bounty hunter in the galaxy. BUT one problem. I have time to devote to Zam all summer long, but not the money. I'm in law school right now and I can't spend several grand on a costume, but would still like a good replica in time for DragonCon. I'm pretty crafty with sewing (8 Padme/Leia costumes and counting), leather (Mustafar Padme) and powertools (I'm a country girl), so I'm pretty certain I can do the work.
So here is the master plan after a lot of research and reading the wonderful posts on this forum:
- All hard leather parts will be made in glorious white vinyl. Why? Because I found a 12 X 5 ft roll of it at Big Lots for 10 bucks! It has great texture and it's pretty think and hard like kitchen floor linoleum- so it might be used for the shin guards and skirt only.
- The soft leather parts will be made from walmart pleather for 2.99/yd.
- Chest armor will be made out of Sintra or yard sale sign (Thanks ZamIAm!)
- Greebles will most likely be made out of Bend and Flex Sculpty from Hobby Lobby left over from my Slave Leia. I had great luck with sculpting, painting and the durability of it. You can bounce it on concrete!
- Shoes are men's hiking boots from Walmart
- Shin guards are pleather covered vinyl.
- Bodysuit will be a modified Zentai purple bodysuit from ebay, with a soft foam interfacing to give it the thick look of neoprene. I have yet to receive the suit, so this is still in the works.
Anymore ideas for a budget Zam? I feel like Ms. Cheap from the sunday newspaper! :)
- Helment: I've really bounced around with the helmet. I do believe this is outside my skill level, so I will most likely need a kit. But, i'm not giving up that easy. I'm at least going to attempt my version of it. It might even be fiberglass covered paper mache' hehe :)

BREAKING NEWS!!! Basketball Fans Lebron James Returns to Clevleland
This is just breaking, Lebron james signs with the Cav's making a return after four years in Miami.
I always believed that I'd return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn't know when. After the season, free agency wasn't even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn't going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."

The Dallas Cowboys will have Tony Romo against the Giants, despite a bruised throwing hand, and the team won't sign a veteran QB.
"He will be fine," said a person with knowledge of the situation, according to ESPN.
Romo bruised his hand against Jason Babin's helmet during the Cowboys' 20-7 loss to the Eagles and said he would have returned if the game had more bearing on the playoff race. Because the Giants (8-7) beat the Jets, the NFC East race will come down to Dallas' visit to New Jersey on Sunday.
"I would've tried very hard," Romo said of returning to the game. "No question. I did a little bit, but the coaching staff decided against that."
Coach Jason Garrett said Monday the swelling is going down and that Romo could practice Wednesday.
Backup QB Stephen McGee, stepping in for the injured Jon Kitna, completed 24 of 38 passes for 182 yards after replacing Romo vs. Philly.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Our first members were my mother Annabel and my grandfather, the late Major Bruce Shand. The price was £250 a year and we thought a telephone and internet service would suffice. We soon discovered that communicating through a PA is no substitute for spending an hour with somebody face to face. But impersonal was in. Ian Schrager's Sanderson and St Martins Lane hotels were exciting but also clinical. The staff were so cool that I was always frightened to go in alone. I don't think that's how people want to feel any more. These days we send people to The Connaught and we're celebrating our tenth anniversary at The Savoy next month because those places are just so good at remembering who you are.
In the first year we realised the essence of luxury is service, an idea that was all but
forgotten when the Dubai boom kicked off in 2002, and places such as Miami and Las Vegas were on turbo-drive as they fought for rich consumers. Everything was overdressed and over-the-top. The arrival of six- and seven-star service summed up how out of hand things had got. Air-conditioned beaches and solid gold taps came to define a hotel's star rating. Attentiveness was sacrificed in the process.
Growth in the luxury sector continued through the mid-2000s and, to my mind, reached its zenith in 2007, when we hosted the £1,500-a-head Diner des Tsars, an extravaganza recreating a 19th-century feast of caviar, foie gras, lobster and beef tartare, once enjoyed by Tsar Alexander II of Russia, washed down with jeroboams of vintage champagne. Darcey Bussell danced, Katherine Jenkins sang and Cossack dancers threw swords and backflipped around Natalia Vodianova and Jemima Khan. There was a lot of showing off that night; we raised £400,000 for UNICEF – but if we'd done it this year it wouldn't have worked. Things have changed since the collapse of Lehman Brothers two years ago and everyone expects more for their money. Previously, it was only New Yorkers who were the big negotiators and the English wouldn't have dreamed of asking for an up-grade. Now, search engines tell you exactly how much something costs and suddenly everyone wants the best deal. What's more, everyone is thinking internationally. The wine industry used to be almost unregulated, but these days our members in Jordan know the going rate for a bottle of Château Lafite in London.
Recently I've been to some places such as Neeleshwar Hermitage in Northern Kerala, a sleepy eco-resort on the Indian Ocean with palm trees, thatched bungalows and butterflies everywhere, which redefines luxury. The deferential staff observed everything my girlfriend Mary-Claire and I were into: they remembered where we left our books and as soon as it looked like rain, a pair of umbrellas would appear. It was all so thoughtful. In terms of marketing, a resort that recycles its kitchen waste to provide bio-gas for cooking and has banned bottled water in favour of water purified on-site by osmosis doesn't equate to six-star service. But to my mind it does. And it's catching on. Even in the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong, where I was last week, I read four different signs instructing me not to use too much water.
Ten years on, Quintessentially has grown into 25 different companies offering services to members and non-members in wine, travel, flowers and property. Yes, people are still asking for a table at The Ivy, and Cirque du Soleil tickets, but they want The Ivy's private room, backstage passes to Cirque, a chauffeur for the evening and a table at the opening night at the best club in town (which will be New York transfer The Box, a burlesque nightclub that is taking over the Raymond Revue Bar next month).
Luxury is perhaps even more indefinable than it was before. My greatest luxury happens to be my grandfather's three-piece suit from the now-defunct military tailors Cooling Lawrence & Wells of Maddox Street, from 1968, that I'm wearing today. That's something money can't buy.

Temps and new primers
P2/P8 primers work best at 60C, confirming my lab work. (from http://www.academia.edu/1460726/Sex_Identification_of_Some_Pet_Birds_by_Polymerase_Chain_Reaction-Based_Methods )
also, this paper suggests using some new primers and was getting results very similar to my ones. Going to try and order NP an MP primers. See this paper for what a positive and negative result looks like using P2/P8 primers.

SOUTH EASTON, MA- After capturing its first-ever outright Northeast-10 Regular Season title, the Merrimack men's tennis team will enter the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament as the No. 1 seed. The Warriors posted a perfect 11-0 record in league matches this season to go along with a 15-7 overall mark.
As the top-seeded team, Merrimack receives a first-round bye and will take to the courts April 19 for the semifinals. The Warriors will face the winner of the quarterfinal matchup between No. 5 Adelphi and No. 4 Stonehill April 17.
With a victory in the semifinal round, Merrimack will advance to its third Northeast-10 Tournament Championship match in four years.
Bentley earned the No. 2 seed in the tournament while Southern New Hampshire garnered the third seed and Le Moyne received the sixth slot.
Ranked fourth in the East Region, the Warriors are seeking to reach their fifth-straight and fifth-ever NCAA Tournament. Merrimack suffered a first-round loss to Philadelphia in last season's NCAA Tournament.
Petar Golijanin (Novi Sad, Serbia) leads the team with a 19-9 singles record on the year. The junior recorded an 11-0 mark in Northeast-10 matches this season. Sean Pahler (Rumson, NJ) sported a 10-1 singles record against league opponents this season. Vince Bellino (Amesbury, MA), Max Eppley (Malaga, Spain) and Chris Toegemann (Narragansett, RI) all won nine singles matches in conference action.

text: Posted October 26, 2010 Way, way, way too early, but someone has put one together. 2. Carolina Panthers Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU : In NFL history there has never been a cornerback selected this high. Several have been chosen third overall -- most recently in 1997, when the Seahawks took Ohio State's Shawn Springs. Peterson comes in as highly touted as any cornerback since Springs. With the NFL becoming more and more reliant on the passing game, a cornerback who can shut down half of the field like Peterson is more valuable than ever. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfldraftscout-RobRang food for thought.

Throw the Rascals Out
"... The two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy." -- Prof. Carroll Quigley
Professor Quigley was probably wrong about not needing opposing opinions. It does seem an adversary system has served us well, and no better system has been found in 6,000 years of human history. However, holding any one office for only two terms hasn't proven a bad idea.
Following the death of four-term President Roosevelt in 1945, the Constitution was amended to limit Presidents to two terms. This has worked out reasonably well (certainly better than the 18th Amendment did). Presidents Carter and Clinton, to name two, have contributed meaningfully to their worlds since leaving office. I pray the same can one day be said of Evan Bayh.
Senator Bayh recently announced he would not be seeking a third term as United States Senator from Indiana. I did not vote for the Senator, but my overall impression has been positive. To my knowledge he leaves public office with his reputation unscathed, unlabeled as one of the "rascals." This makes him at least noteworthy, even if not unique. His reported reason for this decision is that he found after 12 years that politics as practiced in the American system is dysfunctional. This I could have told him 12 years ago.
After two terms, Congressman Brad Ellsworth, who represents the District in which I live, has announced his intent to seek the Senate seat vacated by Sen. Bayh. In the interest of full disclosure, the Congressman is the first of only two Democratic Party candidates for whom I have voted in the past some 45 years. One of the reasons I voted for him was my feeling that he had not yet been around long enough to turn into a politician, a "rascal" if you will. We will see.
It seems likely the writers of our Constitution may have had in mind men who would serve as representative for a term or two and then go back home. It is not at all clear the founding fathers had in mind a life of being a Congressman or Senator. In this mold was Republican Congressman Ed Pease, who served our District honorably from 1997 to 2001. Having served God and country for two terms he left Congress to pursue real life. For the record also, I voted twice for Ed.
It is highly unlikely we will see Congressional term limits in the foreseeable future; too many who would have to make such a decision have a life-long vested interest in remaining dysfunctional. This is unfortunate, among others things this means Congress will continue to be dysfunctional. It might be interesting as a nation to find out what meaningful contributions could be made by those who, having served God and country for a term or two, came home to pursue real life.
In the meantime maybe we should just throw the rascals out after all? Maybe changing of the guard just because they'd been there long enough is as good a place as any to start?

Wednesday Moves to the DNRC for Tonight
Wednesday Night Cyclocross will be held at the DNRC this evening. It's a fun venue with mostly flat and fast terrain, but expect some slippery corners. This will be our first time using the venue in a couple years so please be respectful of others using the area. It's a multi-use venue and lots of dog walkers and employees will be on site. Please be courteous.
Here's a photo from the last time a race was held at the DNRC. 2009 Greased Lightning. This is one of my favorite battles of all time. Hardman Lussier vs. Coach Mariano Bassetti.

Jay Colbert has been elected as the new 3rd District Vice President, completing the unexpired term of A. Michael Mullane, who tragically and unexpectedly passed away January 1. Colbert was sworn into office on January 28 at IAFF headquarters.
Nominations for the Third District Vice President Special Election ended at midnight on Wednesday, January 27. Nominations were received for Brother Jay Colbert, a member of Somerville Local 76 and Secretary-Treasurer of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts, as well as Brother Peter Carozza, a member of Waterbury Local 1339 and President of the Uniformed Fire Fighters Association of Connecticut.
Brother Carozza on Tuesday January 26 withdrew in writing his candidacy and nomination for eligibility to run for Vice President of the Third District. Therefore, General-Secretary Treasurer Thomas Miller cast a single ballot on behalf of Brother Jay Colbert, electing him by acclamation as IAFF Third District Vice President.
"On behalf of General Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Miller and the entire IAFF Executive Board, I want to welcome District Vice President Colbert to this important leadership position," says General President Harold Schaitberger. "I am confident that he will represent the Third District in an outstanding fashion. We all look forward to working with him in accomplishing the work of our great union."
"I have big shoes to fill," says Colbert, who hopes to follow in the footsteps of his great friend and mentor. "There will never be another Michael Mullane," he says. "But I will do the very best I can. It is an honor and a privilege to serve as 3rd District Vice President."
Colbert joined the fire service in 1988 after graduating from the University of Massachusetts School of Business. "I didn't have any Fortune 500 companies knocking on my door," says Colbert, who had several friends who were fire fighters. He decided to take the test, and has loved being a fire fighter ever since.
Currently the secretary-treasurer for the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM), Colbert also served as president of Somerville Local 76 for 12 years, and was PFFM District 6 vice president and legislative agent. He attended the Harvard University Trade Union program in 2012 and has been the chair of the state Joint Labor Management Commission for five years.

Florence 101
The Medici. Botticelli. Dante.
What do these names, familiar to anyone who has studied history, art, or literature, have in common? All of them were natives of Florence, and their presence endures in the city today. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and an epicenter for high culture, Florence has become one of the artistic trea- sure troves of the world. You can barely walk along the streets and piazze without running into famous works (or their replicas), and the myriad museums are rivaled in number by dozens of churches that house priceless artwork and frescoes all their own. But this city is so much more than that: you can sip regional Chianti at the many cafes and bars, enjoy traditional Tuscan cuisine in trattorias and ristoranti, and view spectacular live performances of everything from music to theater. This is a city of purely Florentine sights, tastes, and customs, and if you allow yourself to embrace that culture, you'll no doubt leave feeling like a true fiorentino.

Top 5 Tasty Treats of Tuscany
Tuscany doesn't specialize in Pisa pizzas, so when you find yourself in the Italian Hillz, head for a local trattoria and try some of these regional specialties. 1. Tortelli Lucchese. It may look like standard meat ravioli, but this egg-based pasta primi isn't your average Chef Boyardee. In addition to being served in a meat sauce, this pasta is also stuffed with even more meat and can be served in a variety of fashions. Try one of them at Anne e Leo (Lucca). 2. Cecina. Cecina is basically a chickpea pancake that's often served up in triangular, [...]
I Heart (Italian) Radio
The hostel I've been staying at for the past week has a TV in the common room that plays pretty much nonstop music videos (like how MTV used to before it started exploiting the agonies of pregnant teenagers). So in addition to seeing a lot of gauzy old throwback videos from the '80s and '90s (hey, that Michael Jackson kid can really dance!), I've also been listening to a lot of Italy's top radio hits, which (spoiler alert) aren't in English. And they're total jams that everyone should be listening to! Oh, but you can't understand what they're [...]
Italy Roundup: Best Food Edition
Over the past two summers, I've been to over twenty cities in Italy. Not exhaustive by any means, but as a professional tourist, I kinda know some shit about them. So in homage to my travels and my work (and because I finally remembered that I actually have a blog), the next three posts will be dedicated to the best Italy has to offer - from what I've seen anyway. To start things off, my top picks for budget food in Italy. Let's go. Best gelato: Gelateria del Teatro, Rome. Tucked away in the heart of Centro [...]
Top 5 Words to Know in Italy: Food Edition
Eating is fun. Ordering is stressful. But it doesn't have to be. Here are the top five words to know if you want to order food and pretend you're slightly Italian. Prego: A versatile word, kinda meaning please. What the person taking your order will say. Respond with food. Vorrei...: "I would like...". Fill in the blank with what you'd like. Pizza, arancino, sexy Italian waiter. Up to you. Questo.: "This." When vorrei fails because you have no idea what the name of that pastry is. Just point and say *questo *and you'll be golden. Il conto?: [...]
Italy Roundup: City Superlatives
Every city is special. Some are just better than others. Every city is special. Some are just better than others. It's like high school all over again. Fuck. Best beaches: Amalfi Coast. No competition. Cinque Terre and the beaches by Ancona are close runner ups though. Best nightlife: Rimini.

Best public transportation: Milan. Reliable, fast, and did we mention reliable? The rest of Italy should take [...]

George McCartin brings remarkable, varied experience to his run for Ward 1 on the Astoria City Council.
In a live interview on KAST 1370 Thursday morning, McCartin said he was a Catholic Priest who left the Priesthood over the Viet Nam war and found himself working in social services and then for the Equal Opportunity Commission which came about after passage of Civil Rights legislation which then helped launch his law career specializing in employment disputes.

The Marines of Bravo Company, 1st Platoon, sleep beside a field of poppies as Afghan workers quietly gather up the opium bulbs. The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit has moved into southern Helmand province which is the world's largest largest opium poppy-growing region. But, unlike the foolish policies of the Bush administration, the Marines are not destroying the fields and have assured farmers their crops will not be touched by American forces. As Lt. Adam Lynch noted: ""It's kind of weird. We're coming over here to fight the Taliban. We see this. We know it's bad. But, at the same time we know it's the only way locals can make money." Marines commanders are emphasizing their primary target is the Taliban, not poppy fields which are the mainstay for many Afghan farmers.
Barnett Rubin, an expert on Afghan's drug trade, said the Marines have been placed in a complex situation by one dimensional thinkers in Washington. Rubin, a professor at NYU, points out: "All we hear is not enough troops, send more troops., Then you send in troops with no capacity for assistance, no capacity for development, no capacity for aid, no capacity for governance."
Ironically, the Marnes in the field have greater insight into how to deal with Afghanistan than "experts" sitting in the White House who believe the war on drugs should be an important goal in Afghanistan. The Marines, wisely, are focusing on the enemy-the Taliban– not on innocent farmers who are trying to eke out a living.

Sun & Moon Café
The view from the patio isn't much: a hillside in Emigration Canyon. But the terraced wooden deck behind the old restaurant remains one of the most pleasant places in the valley to spend a summer evening. The beer selection is excellent and the live music—blues and bluegrass—keeps you coming into fall when the canyon can be downright chilly. The food is good, too. Once a place for burgers—damned fine burgers—in the restaurant's previous incarnation as Crompton's Roadside Attraction, Sun and Moon has gone a little fancy with wine tastings and a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner menus designed by owner Carl Wayant, the former chef of Solitude's Yurt.5195 Emigration Canyon, 583-8331, TheSunAndMoonCafé.com

Jean Louis
At Chef Jean Louis Montecot's namesake Park City restaurant, the appetizer options are so inviting, you might just decide to make a meal of nothing but starters. We could imagine, for example, kicking things off with steamy escargots served in the Burgundian style with toasted country bread before moving onto a dish of fresh tuna tartare with English cucumber and roasted peppers. Next, smoked wild salmon with Peruvian potatoes or maybe Muscovy duck rillette with cornichons and pearl onions would be in order. Don't get too busy with the Swiss Raclette or cheese fondue, though, because you're absolutely going to want to save room for an appetizer order of seared foie gras drizzled with a fig and balsamic vinegar reduction. And that's just for starters!136 Heber Ave., Park City, 435-200-0260
Pistol Pete's
At many other Mexican eateries, the tortilla soup is thin, runny and bland. This is not the case at Pistol Pete's, an Arizona style Mexican walk up and order joint whose tortilla soup has a base of thick tomato broth, guacamole, tortilla strips, rice and cheese. It's served with a side of tortilla chips complemented by the free salsa bar. This dish is sure to keep your stomach full with its dense content and your wallet thick with its low price.2477 Fort Union Blvd., 944-1833

Whether skewered on a kebab, atop a salad or on a pizza, the chicken dominates in flavor and succulence in every one of Wasatch's dishes. Wasatch focuses on healthy dining and does not skimp on the chicken. The pieces are stripped of their skin and marinated for 24 hours in a blend of vegetable juices and seasonings. The chicken is then flame grilled, never fried, over a specially built broiler and grill. Better yet, each dish is cooked fresh to order and served hot.4927 S.

The wait staff aren't all named Flo, but they might call you "hon" if you leave a decent tip. Otherwise, be prepared to kiss some grits.850 W. 2100 South, 972-3711

Casper Star Tribune Speculates about Liz Cheney '96 Launching a Political Career
From trib.com
While the Cheney family has long been associated with the Jackson Hole area, hardly anyone thinks she's there just for the spectacular scenery. Liz Cheney is suddenly becoming a fixture at Wyoming Republican events, sharing the stage with her father at the state party's convention in Cheyenne last month.
She recently addressed Lincoln Day dinners in Sweetwater and Park counties and the 109th annual Casper Area Chamber of Commerce dinner. Her schedule includes more Wyoming events in June and August.
While Liz Cheney hasn't publicly expressed interest in running for office, there's no reason to announce her plans now. The 45-year-old attorney can continue her role as a contributor for Fox News and build her national profile, while getting acclimated to Wyoming.
The latter task isn't an easy one, despite the fact that her dad grew up in Casper and was elected to the U.S. House from Wyoming six times. Liz Cheney was born in Madison, Wisc., grew up in Virginia, and graduated from Colorado College and the University of Chicago Law School. Because of her family she is a household name here, but Wyoming people don't really know her, and vice versa.

After getting events started with a spectacular anniversary concert from the Hamilton All Star Jazz Band at Redeemer College on May 10, the first Ancaster ArtsFest is keeping the good times going with food, fun and entertainment planned for May 27-31,

 The festival, a joint initiative of the Hamilton All Star Jazz Band and the Ancaster Heritage Village BIA, is a celebration of the arts. The events associated with ArtsFest are designed to promote Ancaster and the Hamilton region as a destination for arts and culture in the Golden Horseshoe.

ArtsFest will gain momentum towards the end of May with the arrival of school bands for performances in a Music Festival that runs from Tuesday, May 27 until Friday, May 30 at the Old Firehall Art Centre on Wilson Street in Ancaster.

One of the unique ArtsFest acts the organizers are looking forward to hosting is the Plaidiators, a group of hilarious, young comedians from Hamilton. The Plaidiators will have the crowd laughing at the Old Firehall Arts Center on Thursday May 29. The cabaret-style event will include a cash bar.

ArtsFest will conclude with outdoor concerts at Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum. Everyone attending these concerts will be protected by very large heated "big top" tent in order that everyone is warm and dry while enjoying the great outdoors and the very special entertainment that is planned.

Motown: Never Can Say Goodbye, one of the most popular shows in the Old Firehall Concert Series over the past few years, will take the stage on Friday May 30. This evening under the "big top" will begin with warm-up performances by the Junior Stars Jazz Band and the Rising Stars Jazz Band. The Motown group, which is an eight-piece group with four vocalists led by local jazz musician Russ Weil, will perform Motown hits and more from the 1960s and '70s. A barbecue and cash bar will be available.

The last concert on Saturday, May 31 concert will begin with a warm-up set by the Hamilton All Star Jazz Band followed by the main attraction for the evening, renowned blues guitarist, Jack DeKeyzer. DeKeyzer names Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Cliff Richard as his main influences. He has toured with rockabilly legend, Ronnie Hawkins, so it's sure to be a rocking show! Those attending this final event of ArtsFest will have two choices for tickets. A limited number of premium seating and dinner tickets are available (tables of eight catered by Cavallo Nero). General admission tickets and a cash bar will also be available.

Tickets and information for the Ancaster ArtsFest performances are available online at www.hamiltonallstarjazz.org or at Cavallo Nero, 370 Wilson St. E, Ancaster.
